Folks :
My paper EAD application has been rejected twice by USCIS. Here is the thread that discusses that :
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum70-self-filing-documents-forms-directions-mailing/1598364-ead-renewal-rejected-twice-need-advice.html
I have eFiled this time. So we'll wait and see.
I am now planning to request expedited processing of my application. For an expedited processing to be approved, it needs to satisfy atleast one of the following criteria according to USCIS...
1) Severe financial loss to company or individual
2) Extreme emergent situation
3) Humanitarian situation
4) Nonprofit status of requesting organization in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States
5) Department of Defense or National Interest Situation (Note: Request must come from official United States Government entity and state that delay will be detrimental to our Government)
6) USCIS error
7) Compelling interest of USCIS
I feel I am fall under the point 1) and point 6). The IO that I talked to over the phone told me to write to USCIS with appropriate documentation.
At this time, I would like to learn from you guys if anyone of you have applied for expedited processing, what criteria did you apply under and what was your experience with it.
Further, I would appreciate if you guys comment on the reason that I plan to apply under...Do guys think it will work?
Thanks!

Hi All,
We need to work towards fixing the USCIS Online Case Status System of Texas Service Center, lot of people are not receiving updates in email/website about their cases.
How will you do that? I guess, while working on cases, user has to click somewhere to send an email. If they choose not to, then there will be no email. In my case, I never saw consistency in getting emails. I don't think that is a big issue, just check your status periodically. Bigger and important issue is how to get your case processed faster, and in sequence.

The other day, three guys, a Pakistani, an Indian, and a Czech, and one Serb girl (originally from the beautiful city of Belgrade) met the staff of their American lawmakers, to tell them about the problems faced by the EB-immigrant community due to backlogs and insanely low visa numbers for EB-greencards.
You can't get more American than this.
My experience with the meetings with the lawmakers' staff has been very positive. I approached it with nervousness; however, the staff has ALWAYS been extremely polite, sincere and encouraging. They listen to us, and engage in meaningful discussions and question answer sessions with us. Quite often, we are told that this was the first time that our point of view was being told to them. We ask them what advice they have for us. And they all ALWAYS tell us to (a) talk to other lawmakers and (b) call them frequently, as they provide daily totals and tallys on pro-vs-anti calls on different issues to their bosses.
So folks. We still have time. We have a few weeks. Please (a) join together and form state chapters, (b) educate yourself, (c) call the lawmakers offices (d) meet the lawmakers and (e) do all this within the next few days.
Too often we take a fatalistic approach towards issues. Other times, nervousness and fear renders us incapacitated. Be proud of the fact that we are a diverse group of high-skilled immigrants. We are educated professionals. We are doctors, engineers, scientists, and other professionals.
It is our duty, as intelligent and educated professionals, to tell the lawmakers that we are facing problems, and to request them to fix those problems, since they have the power to do so.

I am in a strange situation. My wife got her H1B approved with petition starting date 10/1/2006 but never worked. She got her SSN on 02/24/2007. I spoke to the attorney and he gave me 3 options:
1) Change her status to H4 and apply I-485 when she gets the approval notice. But I dont know whether the priority dates would be current then?
2) Send her back to the home country and get the H4 stamped and come back on legal status. I am afraid what if she is denied H4.
3) Apply I-485 and only at the time of adjustment of status, the officer can only decide her case to approve or deny. Till then we cannot know.
What was her status between 10/1/2006 and 2/24/2007 when she didnt had the SSN? Is she considered H1B or H4?
Is anybody in a similar situation and what are the options?
Thanks.

Let me start my saying that H-1B status and H-1B visa are, somewhat related, but two different things.
If you are currently in the US on H-1B status, and your H-1B status is about to expire, then your employer needs to file a I-129 petition for extension, with a new LCA, to the USCIS. You can do premium processing, and have the response from the USCIS in 15 calender days.
Once you have the approval notice of your extension, you can go to your home country, or Canada or Mexico, and apply for a new H-1B visa.
Though it is your employer's application, you are legally allowed to pay the $1000 for premium processing.
Some posts suggest that it is entirely your employer's headache, but to be honest, it really doesn't work that way, especially if you work for a small company that is not very well versed with the process.
If this post helps you, I would appreciate if you could give us a hand in our ongoing efforts (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=16506)!
Good morning all of you:
If you had the experience of renewing your H1B visa could you please advise how is the process?
Thank you for any feedback .

Hi ,
I'm looking for university professor/asst professor/lecturer job whereby university can sponsor h1b.If anybody can point me to universities which sponsor h1b in/near bay area ,it would be great. the local community colleges does not seem to sponsor h1b.
Thanks a lot,
Tarun
Faculty positions that require a minimum qualification of Ph.D. would sponsor H1-B.
I am curious; what is your qualification? Folks who have a serious shot at a faculty position normally do not bother about asking questions about H1-B; that's the least of the hurdles of getting a faculty position.

Go to www.ehealthinsurance.com , you can get quotes from some of the good insurance companies. You can apply for insurance without any pay obligation upfront. These prices are affordable. A small tip is that its better to shop individual plan than family plans as the family plans are expensive. Also the insurance is expensive for women compared to men. I would suggest you to go for smaller deductibles and no co-insurance. You could get a good insurance for 150 dollars per month. Let me know if you need more info on this.

USCIS - USCIS Issues Two Precedent Appeals Decisions (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=f8925403f0bcb210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=68439c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD)
USCIS Issues Two Precedent Appeals Decisions
WASHINGTON�U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced that it has issued two decisions from the USCIS Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) as binding precedent for the agency. These decisions will provide guidance to USCIS adjudicators and help deliver predictability to the public. AAO precedent decisions result from a collaboration between the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), which publishes the cases.
"The issuance of AAO precedent decisions honors USCIS�s commitment to the clear and consistent application of the immigration laws," said USCIS Director Alejandro Mayorkas. "We are grateful for the Justice Department�s partnership in our efforts to promote predictability in immigration-benefits cases." USCIS is committed to issuing further precedent decisions going forward, given their value to the agency and the public.
An AAO precedent decision is an immigration-appeals case that DHS, with the Attorney General�s concurrence, designates as establishing a rule for deciding future cases. Once published by DOJ, AAO precedent decisions bind all DHS personnel in the administration of the immigration laws. DOJ publishes the decisions in the bound volumes of the "Administrative Decisions Under Immigration and Nationality Laws of the United States" (I&N Dec.), which also contain the precedent decisions of the DOJ�s Board of Immigration Appeals.
The first decision affirms USCIS�s denial of an application to adjust status to permanent residence and holds that an employment-based petition must be "valid" initially if it is to "remain valid with respect to a new job." The second decision reverses USCIS�s denial of an application to preserve residence for naturalization purposes and clarifies the definition of employment by an "American firm or corporation."

I was successful in getting information for me and my wife in the same appointment twice. But to be safe I will book another appointment. If the IO had a bad day he/she may reject to give infomation on your wife's case :)
"But to be safe I will book another appointment."
what I mean here is book another appointment around same time as yours and when you are called goto the counter together. If IO rejects to provide info on your wife's case then you can use the other appointment.

A receipt of notice is generated immediately. As soon as your application reaches the USCIS ofice they generate the receipt of notice and post mail it to the attorney. It takes 2-3 days for the mail to reach your attorney so we can assume that the total time to get the receipt of notice from the day it was filed should not be greater than 4-5 days.

Thanks for your reply Sir.
When I was researching for the Labor certification and there were few posts which talks about my prior experience and my prior experience would only be considered for the new job if the Job responsibilities are same and the job title is same.
I contacted one of the immigration lawyer and I was told that I can expect RFC's about my prior titles and the current job.
Please advise
Ravi
