In worst case, if 202-a5 was eliminated, do you thing EB visas will be diverted to FB? Will A3 give any protection to EB catagory? 202-a3 will give more protection for FB class due to 10 to 12 years of backlogs in 4th preference FB catagory? If so, it tottaly violates the quota in EB and FB class and there is no meaning of preference level.

It's best to contact your employer attorney about their standard practices about H1B revocations after termination of employment, but as far as I know if your H1B is revoked before your COS takes effect on Oct 1 , 09 , your OPT status stays intact till its expiry.
Thanks for the reply. My question though is what will happen if i get laid off before October 1 2009, and revoke my H1? In that case will i be able to use my remaining OPT, since i will not have my H1 revoked?

I've done alot of debugging to try figure the problem... (.show()) isn't a method inside the openFileDialog class...?
-The main thing i'm found when debugging is that when the openFileDialog is used to do anything in my program even if i don't use any information from it it doesnt write my TEST data to a xml file or any other methods i use to write an xml file... eg.
When i run these lines in conjunction to the rest of my code
//DialogResult result = DialogAddTo.ShowDialog();
String fileNameToAdd = "E:\\blah";
//String fileNameToAdd = DialogAddTo.FileName;
Commenting out the openFileDialog and just storing a random file name then the rest of my program (eg. writing the xml file and info wanted) works however when i get the file name from the openFileDialog it doesn't let me write any Xml files even ones i have working already.
If anyone has had the same error or has knowledge please reply cheers
eG this code ive tested and it does the job but i want the user to be able to select a file using a dialogBox... NOTE green is commented
switch (tabControlSelector.TabPages[tabControlSelector.SelectedIndex].Text)
{
case "Images":
DialogAddTo.Title = "Add Image to Dir to view";
DialogAddTo.InitialDirectory = "E:\\Images\\";
DialogAddTo.Filter = "JPG| *.jpg";
DialogAddTo.Multiselect = false;
DialogAddTo.ShowDialog();
//DialogResult result = DialogAddTo.ShowDialog();
String fileNameToAdd = "E:\\blah";
//String fileNameToAdd = DialogAddTo.FileName;
DialogAddTo.Dispose();
if (true)
{
viwDataDS.imagesTable.AddimagesTableRow(fileNameTo Add.Substring(fileNameToAdd.LastIndexOf("\\") + 1).ToString(),
fileNameToAdd.ToString(),
DateTime.Now);
viwDataDS.imagesTable.WriteXml("test.xml", XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("That Image Already Exists");
}
break;
case "Videos":
break;

I got this RFE email Nov 28th. Yet to receive the letter so do not have the "response time window".
Assuming they give me 6 weeks (Jan 7th) to respond. I will request my attorney to fax and then courier the Response to USCIS on Jan 3rd(Friday). I am planning to fly back on Jan 5th(Sunday). This way when I am at POE the I-485 status is still pending. It s..ks to do all these manipulations... but this trip is long pending and some urgent issues need to be taken care during this trip.
sure. Just make sure you dont cut it too close.. I have had numerous run-ins with Mr Murphy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphy's_law).
Always make allowances for things like your attorney missing his flight back from a new years party in the Bahamas; or waking up too drunk on Jan 2nd to be able to even know the full form of RFE :)
Also, depends on what the RFE is:
* if its just EVL, payslips (possible, with your job moves), then its pretty much a formality and you are all set for your GC.
* If its medicals then you might need to scramble to get it done on time (might as well take an appointment now for around Dec 10th, you can cancel it if the RFE is for something else).
* If its something like details of your status going back to first entry into US and things like that then you want to be careful and possibly delay your response to ensure you are back here to fight it out in case you run into problems with some mistake on their side.
If I were you, I would take the medical appointment, then wait for the RFE to decide the next steps...

It not a computer glitch for sure. As the explanation goes like this:
we transferred this case I140 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER to our LINCOLN, NE location for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action.
Even My I-140 status changed from approved to Initial Review when I received my I-485 RFE last few months ago. Though I used AC21 to change my old employer to new employer I-140 still shows initial review.

Thx for response.
I understand I need a job for H1 extension, but what I am asking is if we need W2 for H1 extension. Any one?
You might need it.....you might not..When it comes to USCIS even God will not be able to predict. They might issue an RFE, might not. However, if you are with a bodyshopper and in IT I believe its common nowadays for USCIS to ask for 2 years W2s and recent paystubs to make sure you have maintained H1b Status.
6+ months without paystubs - you should be ready to explain if they ask. I empathize with your situation. Running payroll taxes for an entire year is crazy...approx 20k..not to mention "ILLEGAL". My suggestion - try and find a project asap. Do what you think needs to be done.......Dont loose sleep over something you cannot predict. Everyone needs a break and you might get yours sooner than you think. Hang on..........ATB.

You should be fine. Not only you filed your extension on time (so the approval should apply retroactively, more likely that's the USCIS mistake), but two law provisions protect you:
1) 8 C.F.R. section 274A.12(b)(20) - An H1B holder whose employer has filed a new H1B petition to extend the stay (through the current employer - NOT a job change) can work for up to 240 days based upon the pending H1B petition;
2) 8 U.S.C. 1255(k) allows you to adjust status even if you worked without authorization for not more than 180 days.
Oh, yes, I've had a similar RFE for my dependants to show continuous H4 status so it's not unusual.

No, you cannot show that period as experience. Moreover, by doing so you will be saying that you have been working during that period which would be illegal while on H4.

Members should not write to them IMO. IV as an org should try contacting them for a face time.
You cannot even get tickets to Colbert's show(Sold out for the next few months). There is just the studio location listed for now:
513 West 54th Street, between 10th Ave and 11th Ave in midtown New York.
pls send contact info

Do we need to send the original i 140 or just copy of I 140 is fine ? I mean do we need to send original I 140 to USCIS at any point in the 485 filling?

Labor + 140 if complted without any RFE would take least 8 - 12 months. But considering today's conditions that is highly unlikely so ballpark figure would be 15 - 18 months. Also if it gets rejected for any reason lawyer mistakes or A2P or education etc then it would be waste of time and resources.

We didnot file MTR. As per my lawyer, MTR takes around 2-3 months and if in case MTR gets denied then the total time (from the date of denial) will considered as illegal and it will create more problems. I also went along with my wife to chennai embassy(both H1 and H4 renwal ), they just asked me my paystubs and about my company . they didnot ask my wife any questions.
