Should the job title for PERM labor filing be in Job Zone 5 to qualify under EB2 category? Or could one apply in Job Zone 4 and still qualify for a EB2? Also, does having an MBA, exempt a person from EB quota under any of the proposed bills like STEM, SKIL, PACE, TALENT or should it have to be an MS in Engineering.
A quick response would be greatly appreciated.
Not sure about the first question. SKIL bill will exempt any advanced degree from US or Advanced degree in STEM from outside + 3 Years. PACE, TALENT and the current CIR only exempt STEM Advanced degree + 3 Yrs

Yes, this is very common. BTW once IO at POE made an error and give I-94 till 3 years when my I-797 was expiring in less than a year. Immediately came back to him and brought to his attention and he corrected it.

All,
I saw the following data released on Murthy bulletin today about PERM and BPC cases. I thought I will share it with you all.
PERM:
The DOL states that 80,272 PERM cases were filed during the above timeframe. Of these, 36,687 have been certified, 1,950 have been withdrawn, and 23,205 have been denied. The denials have been for a variety of reasons, including small errors made on the forms. Thus, many of these cases were refiled and may have been approved, ultimately. The remaining cases are pending.
There have been 24,960 audits. A breakdown of the number of cases approved and denied after an audit was not provided.
BPC:
The backlog processing centers (BPCs) began with just over 363,000 labor certifications in the backlog. The DOL reports that 108,000 of these cases have been completed. There are at least 255,000 cases that have not been completed. Of those cases completed, approximately 50,000 have been certified. This does not mean that there have been high rates of BPC denials. We believe it reflects the fact that a case is deemed "complete" if the employer chooses not to go forward at the 45-day letter stage.
DOL believes that all special-handling cases have been identified and contacted. Full data entry for all cases still appears to be slated for a June 30, 2006 completion.
This data may help us in doing some more calculations for regrogression date movements.

Hello all,
I received an RFE for employment verification. My ETA 750 list Occ Code as 15-1061 (Title - database Administrators). But in my new job I am working as .Net developer where I work with front end and back end development of their website. I work in C#, ASP.NET, java, Flash.
My attorney asked me to find tasks matching with O*net description of Occ Code 15-1061 . None of them directly relate, but some or part relates. Am I in trouble because I no longer work in database development.
In my new job I am working on H1-B
Thanks

The information that is provided in this post is relevant as of Friday May 15, 2009. This is coming from our local AILA chapter Chair.
As many of our readers know, at the conclusion of the Marriage based adjustment of status interview, the immigration officer, upon approval, used to stamp the immigrant's passport with the I-551 (Green Card) stamp. This used to be an immediate proof that the case was approved and the applicant could work and travel using this stamp. As the actual production of the Green Cards became so fast, the practice of stamping applicants' passports stopped as well in most states across the nation.
It seems that things are changing, hence the recent notice from USCIS. According to the notice we received, the Green Card Facility in KY is undergoing renovation. USCIS' card production capability will be reduced over the next several months. They will expand the use of ADIT Temporary Green Card stamps as temporary evidence of LPR status.
The Stamps will be valid for 12 months (previously only 30 days validity was given). Work permits and travel documents (advance paroles) will be collected at the interview from the clients. The stamp will be the only proof of work and travel authorization in such cases. It looks like this policy will continue for the next 6-12 months. This is a nationwide policy and is not taking place only in San Diego.
We will keep you posted with more information as it becomes available.

Not to scare you but even part-time job in other fields can be a potential issue. Please confirm with attorney though.
I HAVE H1 APPROVED TILL 04/10 BUT I ENTERED USA USING AP THIS YEAR SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT I AM ON EAD NOW WITH SPONSORING EMPLOYER. I AM ASLO DOING PARTIME JOB IN OTHER FIELD ON EAD SINCE 01/08. NOW IF I GET FULL TIME JOB WITH OTHER EMPLOYER (other field)AND IF I WORK LESS HOURS (means I get under pay than showed in labor) WITH SPONSORING EMPLOYER, WILL I BE IN TROUBLE? Please give me right way.

the second charge of "false statement" to the officer is? That will look negatively on the character of the applicant.
In general traffic citations are minor misdemeanours. Not sure about fishing. But the second charge IMO is a bit serious.

I-140 Premium processing upgrade receipt number
Dear firends.,
My lawayer upgraded to premium processing for I-140 on June 20th,2007. Will I get a new receipt number or should I keep checking the status for the original I-140 receipt number
Please advise
Thanks
I'm in same boat, upgraded to PP on June 1. your new status of I140 will be "We received request for PP". usually they update the online status on friday night. Expect an RFE early next week, they just want more time, so they send some non-sense RFE. RFE resets the 15 day clock.

I think your first point is valid. I would do the same thing. If you are using AP, I don't think you need to go for stamping.
Your second point is some what complicated. As your H1 is expiring in April, if you renew it later in July, it might go for consular processing, which means that you won't get the I 94 with the approval notice. In that case you need to reenter uisng a valid visa.

HI Gurus,
I need advice from you guys,
My priority date is June 2005 (EB2) and my I-485 receipt date is July 7th 2007 at TSC
My questions regarding Writ of Mandamus are
1. Would I be qualified to file for Writ of Mandamus (WOM)?
2. If I am qualified, would it be of any benefit for me to file WOM based on my criteria as
detailed above?
Thanks a lot.

My am in eb-3 category with a PD jan 2007.
I applied my i-485 to NSC and it was transferred to NBC in 2009.
NBC arranged an interview with the local immigration office in April 2009.
The Immigration Offer issued a welcome notice even though my PD was not current.
I still have not received the GREEN CARD.
In March of 2011 I received an email saying that my case has been transferred to TSC "to speed up processing"
So I dont know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Please respond.
FYI: I have NOT changed my Job, my employer or my address.

Applied for AP/EAD/485 in July 07.....I know that I can invoke AC21 after 180 days and change jobs.....My question is ,
1. If I travel to India before the 180 days and use the AP when I return, is it like invoking AC21 before 180 days ?
2. what are the consequences of using AP within 180 days after filing for 485 ?
3. Is AP and AC21 related ? [brother, sister , cousin :) ]
Thanks.
1. No.
2. None.
3. No.
AC21 changes the sponsoring employer on your green card petition (the one that you plan to work for upon final approval).

Does anyone have any experience how long it takes to get the Canadian visa if my family members who are visiting were to travel to the Canadian Consulate in Seattle.
Earlier you used to get on the same day (in matter of hours), but apparently in March of this year, they changed their policy. "Minimum 24 hours" is not a very helpful indicator for planning :(
Temporary Resident Visas (Visitor Visas)
Applications submitted in person are accepted during our walk in hours Monday through Friday 8am to 10am. Effective March 8, 2011, applications submitted in person will no longer be processed on the same day. The minimum processing time will be 24 hours. Passports will not be returned until processing is completed. Processing times for mail in applications vary, please allow at least 4 weeks for processing. The Seattle Consulate does not provide expedited service, if you have urgent travel, it is recommended that you apply in person.

Hi,
First my 140 was filed in first week of april and got receipt notice with received date as 11-Apr-08, and in May it was rejected because of check bounce issue.
Again my 140 was refiled in july,and got my 140 receipt notice with received date as 24-Jul-08.
(My labour was approved on 23-Jan-08 and its expiration date is 21-Jul-08,
i think there is rule that 140 should be filed before 180 days of labour approval)
My lawyer is saying:
we first filed it well before the dates,so you should not have a problem, as this is refiled in follow up to the original one.
I am still wondering the USCIS will process my 140.
