we just came back from india (June end) to SFO
At primary area the officer just saw AP, scanned passports, checked something in the computer and sent us to secondary area.
At secondary inspection just submitted APs(all copies),passport. After 45 mins they called us
returned the passport, I-94, and one original AP all stamped
If you are married and your wife is coming alone make sure she has all original copies of AP
We came from ahmedabad, and the immigration officer knew about AP so was smooth, but can be a real headache if airline guys are unaware of it (headache means time consuming).
hope this helps

Hi mattresscoil,
<<<<<<<
I think you are positioned well with a full time position and income.
Here is what I would suggest. Continue with your full time job and on the side start looking for a job and make sure that you get hold of good consulting company(ies). If they find you a position, they will/may file for the H1B Xfer. Once the H1b exfer is complete, you can go an join them.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..
I completely agree with you on the above. Can you give some more head on "get hold of good consulting company(ies)" that you mentioned above? What should be the way?
Thanks
What do you mean by good consulting company? Good consulting companies never care about H1 employees. Deloitte,accenture,IBM,Fujitsu, Cap Gemini all are good consulting companies.They place you in good projects,pay well but do not gaurantee about green card filing . Even if they promise you cant trust them. According to me, As long as you can find projects by yourself any consulting company who has good financials is a good consulting company and they will file your green card immediately. If they have good vendor contacts it will be a plus.

My PD is Jul 31, 2006 and I am going to add my wife to the application on June 1st. She is on H-4 right now.
How long does it take to get the AP and EAD? Can she leave the country without the AP.

For any given fiscal year, either you are on f1 or h1. If for majority of the year (>183days) you are on f1 then claim as f1 for the whole year otherwise its h1.
If you are on f1 you do not pay ssn/medicare. You should get it back from your employer if they have deducted it. If they have already paid it to IRS then you should get it back from IRS. Contact your employer. Also your overall burden for federal/state taxes is less when you are on f1.
If you are on h1 for the whole year then you will not get back fica taxes. You also cannot claim fica taxes as deductions from your AGI. If you have not paid state taxes then you will have to pay them on h1 when you file for taxes.
Contact an attorney/CPA for advise. Take any advise on this forum as a guidance. Best is to contact your employer/international students office.

Hello IVans,
Does anyone feel the same? any thoughts?
But only because they know everybody will be frustrated with the wait & opt for PP - Another clever manipulation IMHO.

485 and FP will have same receipt number, you should get 3 recipt numbers for each (485, AP and EAD) ..
I filed for AOS in Aug 07, my attorney advised me that we could combine the checks payable to USCIS for family members (EG: in place of one check for my 485 and one more for my wife we could combine both the checks for 485 and issue a single check for twice the amount). Based on the above, i issued 1 check for 485, 1 for EAD, 1 for FP and 1 for AP.
Now my checks have been cashed and i am able to see the receipt number on the back of the cashed check. I see two receipt numbers on the back of the checks for EAD and AP however i see only 1 receipt number on the back of the check for 485 (and the same number on the back of the check for FP)
Did any body else also send combined checks? Did you get a single receipt number or multiple numbers?
Thanks.

Man you are in such a good position . I think with an approved I-140 in EB3 for Sep 2001 PD your GC should not be far away .. Don't mess around with it by changing it to EB2 or things like that. It might get complicated . I would say have patience for a few months . Once you get your GC you are free.
Using AC21 is not a bad idea for those whose GC is a distant dream but for you I think the goal is within sight.
Actually, it's better to change job before you get a GC because you suppose to have intention to work for GC-sponsoring company after you get GC.

A new PERM filed before September 2010 will [I]probably[I] support an H1 extension beyond September 2011. There is contrary language in a May 30, 2008 USCIS memo on this issue, but the Vermont Service Center in liaison meetings with AILA has specifically confirmed that as long as the Perm is filed at least 365 days before the start date of the H-1 petition a one year extension is available.

Sorry to hear about marital discord. Do talk to your attorney and see what steps needed to be taken further.
My advice, first concentrate on your family. Do try to resolve the issues with your wife. Do give preference to your daughter. Green Cards / Work permits can be obtained later also. Don't worry too much about the GC.

Good advice, Syed.
I endorse it! We'd like to see them together.

That's funny someone told you that ..
My case is similar, July 2007 NSC filer, file was transferred to CSC, and then transferred back to NSC 2-3months later, but that was after they had mailed me the 485 receipt notice, EAD and AP.
I had called NSC a couple of weeks ago to inquire about my spouse's application, they informed me that the application was very much with them, it's cleared name check and it's waiting for it's turn so that a decision can be made.

I have a future employment never worked for them and was going to do a AC21 cause I received RFE asking my intent, the RFE mentioned that I can either do AC21 with current company or stay with the future employment company... :confused: I stayed with the future employment company and I thank my stars cause the current company I worked for went under...:eek:
My attorney told me one can do AC21 and so did the RFE... although I have read on forums that its better to work with the company who applied your GC for atleast 6 mos, I ahve also read that one can be asked at the time of Citizenship about why they changed their Intent - Hope this helps!
Anyway to the Person who was asking about the extension of 6th year H1 - 6th year H1 extension is based on Labor does not matter if 140 is approved or applied...FYI

20K ...is that what it cost you so far ??? that is way too expensive.. I agree how can a poor laborer afford such fees ?
I am single & have invested $14k towards GC (old labor RIR itself $6,900/140/485/ead/ap/premium fees) & still counting (coming up $1000 for H1 extension, $700 ead/ap renewal). And to think initially my Attorney quoted $7,500 :mad: for the entire process, then manipulated to the current fees.
If I had known all this b4hand, would have just found someone to marry years ago. Now I cannot afford a decent apartment/stable address with all these hurdles. :mad:

Hello all,
Recently I got my H1B stamped at Mumbai India, this was my
third H1B, and fifth US visa(I got two B1/B2s in addition). The
US Visa stamping process has been streamlined and better organized
than it was when I got my first one in 1999!:)
Process started with me paying visa fees upfront at HDFC bank.
after paying the fees, they will give two copies of the receipt,
one for you and one for the consulate.
Next step is to get yourself photographed. Every photo studio
in Bombay knows the specification now, so it was no problem.:)
Get digital copies of the photographs.
Next step is to go online and fill the application forms. One needs
to upload photographs and enter the fee payment receipt number
in the form. Once completed, print the application after saving.
The application form has a bar code, so please make no changes
after the printout, if you do one needs to take a fresh print.
The next step was to arrange an appointment for visa stamping
which can be done online, once appointment is fixed
one can go to the visa application center which is very
near the Consulate at Breach Candy. They will verify the application
and give you a confirmation of the appointment. Make sure
that you submit your application form at least three business
days before the visa appointment.
To avoid the morning hour traffic we checked into a hotel
near the consulate. The appointment was 10:30 AM, but we
reached the consulate at 10:00. The appointment confirmed
suggested we do not go to the consulate before 10:15, but
went ahead anyway. The security let us in. :) The consulate
was full of visa aspirants, and I braced myself for a long wait.
We submitted our application forms after getting our fingers
printed.
To my surprise, we were called for interview at around 10:10.
The consulate officer commented that I have already lived
in the US, to which I said yes. The question was repeated to
my wife, who also had a stint in the US. Then she asked me
what kind of work I will be doing in US. I gave a rather long
answer which I guess bored her a bit. My six year daughter
complained that it she is tired, the consular officer started
small talk with her. Then she said my passport will be sent
by courier. By 10:20 we were on our way back home.
We received our passports separately over the next 10 days.
surprisingly my daughter got hers within 2 days, but my
wife had to wait full 10 days!
I am in the US now :)

This may have serious effects on processing this case. Please call 1-800-375-5283 to update your mailing address for this notice to be re-sent..

Obviously first point is talk to a good attorney
but some points to remember :
- 8K doesnt mean anything.. what matters is the % less from the expected salary.
- Also, get the latest audited company financial docs done .
- Remember this is for a future job, so check whether you will make that much when you get your GC.
