It looks like it has been transferred to NSC. Probably because your AOS is filed there, but more likely because you're from a region administered by NSC. Could you please confirm if that's the case. 450+ days is just ridiculous, but hope this change is one in the right direction.
Hi Guys,
I filed my EB3 I-140 to TSC in June 2006 and it is still pending (yes..really more than 450 days and counting...) Then in July 2007, I filed my AOS with NSC. Today, I got an email from CRIS stating that
Application Type: I140 , IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER
Current Status: This case has been sent to another office for processing.
On September 4, 2007, we transferred this I140 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER to our LINCOLN, NE location for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action. Please follow any instructions on this notice. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you.
It is transferred to NSC because my AOS is filed with NSC? Have any one had this status change in the past? After this, how long did it tak to get your I-140 approved?
I am just curious because can I feel happy that atleast some progress? As you know, I am waiting for my I-140 for more than a year...

I am currently working as a Functional Solution Architect in an IT firm.
Current Status: H1B (6th year)
GC status as follows:
Priority Date: April 2007
EAD received: October 2007
I-140 is approved.
Under the AC21 portability I believe I can change my employer without affecting my GC process. However I want to change my field of work from IT to Finance. My question is:
1. Is that permissible and can I use my EAD to work for a new employer in a different field.
2. If the above is not permissible and If I change my job in the same field, can my previous employer cancel my GC process, even though my I-140 is approved. If they can, how can I mitigate that possibility.
Thanks in advance for your response.

Why would one get a LUD on an OLD h1 with no LUD on anything else?
Just got CRIS email/LUD (no status change) on an old h1b that had no status change since Oct 2004. No LUD on the I140/485 or anything else. Only thing that makes sense to me is that my H1b is about to expire on dec 10 so maybe it has to do with that?
Anyone else have a similar experience. it's a little nerve wrecking.
Even I had a soft LUD on my old H1 which was expired and was approved way back in May 2004.

Is the company a Corp, LLC or sole prop?
The tax returns for FY2002, 3 (accepted/filed) can show the Nett Equity of the company - that should be greater than the (total) difference between the PW and actual salary

In my job search (banking and finance jobs) there is this one question i come across on each and every job application-
"Do you now or will you in the future require sponsorship to legally work in the united states?"
and options to tick on the form are 'yes' or 'no' with no space for explanation.
So i mark 'yes' and i guess thats where my job applications get stuck.
Should I answer yes or no, since i am on L2 (visa valid for next 2 years) and currently have 2 years Employment Authorisation (EAD) where i can work for any employer in the United States ?
I understand that companies ask this question because some of them are not allowed/ do not have a policy to sponsor visas.
I want to know whether i am legally required to say 'yes' because i am on L2 ( since after 2 years, my visa renewal depends on whether or not my spouse's L1 is renewed)
OR
Do I still have a choice to say 'no' since my visa renewal gets done if my husband's gets done or i manage it on my own through a consultant... and the company i will join in both cases does not have to sponsor or pay for my visa either now or in the future.
I do not want to misrepresent any information and get thrown out of the organisation after i join, nor do I want to lose out on opportunities because of answering this question wrongly.
Let me know please, it'll help a lot.

You can always file under EB2 once your I-140 in EB3 is approved. Even thats what I did. I had masters with 5yr exp before joining in this company but some how attorney filed under EB3 which I noticed when I was filing for I-140 under EB3. So we waited till my I-140 gets approved and refiled again after filed for I-485. Now my labot got approved under EB2 and filed for I-140. Hope this helps.
I have one question though which I have already posted but didn't see any response. It would be nice if someone can clarify my doubt..
I have one question with regards to changing employer. My I-140 was approved long ago (in 2005) under EB3 and was filed for AOS during July 2007. But now we re-filed labor under EB2 got approved and refiled I-140 under EB2 category. I-140 under EB2 has been filed recently so I am assuming it will take months to get it approved. Now I am thinking of switching to new employer so what are my chances to move to new employer. Sorry am not sure if this message is already posted or not.

I do not want to renew the advanced payroll, since I do not foresee travel within the next 18 months overseas. Is there a way I can skip the renewal this time around (1-year extension) and renew it the next time? If there is an emergency, I can still go to India and have the Visa-stamped since we have a valid H1/H4 right?
Are there any risks here?

Hello
I am working in the US on H1-B visa, and would like to start a company which would develop iphone applications which would have accompanying websites where people would register and pay a monthly service fee.
I have read the various forums and it appears that I can be a passive investor in the company and not assume any role or work for the company even in a volunteer fashion.
I would like to however fulfill my entrepreneurial dream and would like to take on the role on the CEO of the company. So, can I start the company in India (my country of birth) e take on the role of the CEO and then start a company over here as a passive investor and then do the leg work for expanding the business in US.
Please advise.

Hello Folks:
This long wait for Green Card has made me think about a number of things...
A few days back a couple of my friends have recieved notices from USCIS are sending notices 'Intent to Deny their I-485' w/o any rhyme or reason. Employer says they have not withdrawn their I-140. They said they will appeal but if nothing happens they will go back to India.
Just worried...if this happens to me and I am forced to go out of the country in 30 days, what happens to my US loans. I do not think I would be able to repay back my home & car loans with an Indian salary if I return. In this market I can only sell at a huge loss. I also used US Line of credit for education purposes. Do I need to file bankruptcy? I am on a EAD right now...
Any thoughts on this... greatly appreciate ....it
This is teh first time I am coming across this "Denying without any reason" - If this is really happening then it is a very serious issue. Your friends can contact IV if there is such a notice

All,
Anyone can give some input on this ?
I have approved H1b renewal and my wife went to India and got h4 visa based on my approval, I have not stamped yet,
since my wife already got the visa stamped, do you think I need to verify for PIMS ?
or it should have been already verified .
Any idea?
Thanks
How do you verify for PIMS ? I am guessing you are saying that you plan to verify it before going for stamping. I am looking for an answer on how to verify PIMS on your own before going for stamping

Actually i went ahead and contacted an attorney for L1A extension under premium processing, so that should be done soon.
That would take care of DLs as well, as i would get the extension decision by the expiration of DL(s).
Attorney advised to wait for EAD extension for my wife till L1/L2 gets done, as EAD is still valid for some time. And in my case its not being used so i am fine.

Back in 1982, when I left the INS to enter private practice, the number of H-1 visas was unlimited. All professionals, including registered nurses, were eligible for H-1 visas. Also, there was no maximum duration for H-1s. U.S. employers could petition for H-1 workers all year long, yet the program did not generate the amount of controversy that it does today. It was a market-based system which allowed U.S. employers to fill jobs in a global economy, plain and simple. The Immigration Act of 1990 ushered in the present era of government control of �H-1B� temporary visas. For the first...

Folks,
I was current starting Sept 1 and did not get my GC till Oct second week. However, during the first week of Oct., I wrote a detailed letter to Secy. Napolitano and also to the Ombudsman. I got my GC subsequently. Yesterday, someone from USCIS called me and said that he was calling in response to my letter to Secy. Napolitano. He congratulated me on my GC and asked me if everything had gone OK and if he could close my letter out. Just thought that this information might help someone who is stuck in the queue of being current, but not getting a GC. Please file 7001 form with Ombudsman and contact Secy Napolitano if you are in this situation.

The backlog is so huge that there is no "light" at the end of the tunnel
FB immigration is capped at 480K and EB immigration at 140K. Both are backlogged.. the ratio of cases is also perhaps 3:1 or 4:1, so the bulk of those pendng 485s are likely to be family based. the EB I-485 cases are probably somewhere around 250k of that 750k...
Also, what is a backlogged case? USCIS has been changing the definition as they see fit. At one point cases that were pending FBI namecheck were not counted in backlogs!
