Hi All,
I am planning to get my H1B stamped in Chennai, India.
I got H1b extension last month for 3 years. I am planing to visit India in the month of Aug.
I need to know when do I make an appointment?
and will my name be added to PIMS if I make an appt?
Do I have to go to Chennai or I can go to any other Consulate for stamping?
What about PIMS verification, is there anyway I can have my name added to this database before I travel to India?
Anybody has any idea about this? Thanks in advance

Hello Guys,
I was wondering if any one of you have any estimated time for FP notice from TSC?
My 485 ND is August 27 from TSC (case originally filed at NSC on July 2nd which later got transferred to TSC) but haven't received any FP notice yet. Is TSC slower in issuing FP notice?
Also, I believe that it may depend upon the ASC office situation as well. I am from NJ so may be Newark ASC must be "overbooked" now for FP.
Any ideas? Thanks.
i got mine in 1 week after the ckecks were cashed and RN mailed.

Hello everyone -
I am planning to change my job and would like to seek some advice. I already used AC21 once without informing USCIS, and now would like to do it again. I would like to seek advice on couple of issues:
1. I would like to do this without informing USCIS and worry about a response if and and when I get RFE. However, new employer has E-Verify system. Would them checking my eligibility to work through E-verify make it certain that I would get an RFE for employment verification?? In other words, E-Verify tells USCIS that one has changed employment? or E-verify and 485 have no connection?
2. My new job is in the same engineering field; however, there is still a big difference in salary owing to additional managerial duties. Labor was done based on technical responsibilities in engineering field, new job involved technical as well as business responsibilities in the same field. With years going by, I am taking on more and more project/division management experience and that is what the new position would entail.
Original title - Transportation Analyst/Engineer with 55K as salary
New Title - Director of Transportation Systems and Services Engineering with 135K as salary
Based on my research, the job needs to be in the same occupational classification. The original SOC code is 17-2051 - Civil Engineer. The new SOC could be same 17-2051 or could be classified as 11-9140 Architectural and Engineering Managers owing to managerial duties. However, the new job also has technical aspect to it since I will be responsible for sound technical design for the product/services we will prepare.
Can you guys please give your thoughs on these two issues. Thank you in advance for your time and help.
best,
I am not a lawyer, but to the best of my knowledge I can answer as follows:
1. As far as I know, E-verify does not speak with I485 system. Even if it does, it should not be a big deal as you can always reply to the RFE about EVL.
2. Similarity of jobs is a major issue in your case. This needs to be very very carefully evaluated by a good lawyer, as to me (and I am not a lawyer) these two jobs sound totally different. There is a major salary difference that will need to be justified as well. If I were to be you, I will definitely have it evaluated by a good lawyer before making the switch as this can potentially put the entire GC process at risk.
Good Luck.

My brother moved jobs early last year. He filed AC21 and got an RFE immediately.
The move was parallel in job function and the pay was good.
They replied to the RFE and then never heard back. In these economic times, USCIS
is scrutinizing every doc that gets filed.
Just an experience....
What did they ask for in the RFE?

That could explain why NSC never got the memo. Remember only EB I-485 is in question.
That's incorrect. NSC does accept employment based I-485 applications.

Why do you want to spent $2000 for lawyer for AC21? If you have same or similar offer letter, why cant you type a simple covering letter for your AC21?Do it yourself. US certified post cost around $2.00. Hiring lawyer for AC21 is waste of money.
This is true, unless you have some complication, don't go for attorney.

If you filed G 28 then both you and Lawyer will receive the copy of RFE. In case you have not filed G 28 only you will receive the RFE copy. USCIS does not care who answers the RFE as long as it is satisfied with the response.
Not exactly correct. From my own experience. I filed G28 with lawer, only he has got RFE on my I 485, and even worse thing happened: his assistant send only partial answer on that RFE ( the medical) and "simply" missed that RFE asked about EVL (letter from employer) and never informed me on that. When uscis send RFE 2nd time ( asking to send all requested information together) only then lawyer contacted me and asked about EVL.
Both times I didn' get RFEs, moreover the lawyers assistant pretended that she couldn't find a Copy of 1st RFE. ( times between 1st and 2nd RFE was 7 days).

I am about to start my GC processing under EB3 category. I know my chances are extremely extremely slim. I am filing for GC hoping that CIR or some other bill to clear GC backlog passes.
My question is .. How much time would it take to clear all the pending GC cases once the bill is passed ?
I am assuming 2 years. Am I correct ?
I read somewhere on the internet that a similar situation arised in the past (may be year 2000 or 2001), and when a bill was passed to clear the backlog, after few months (for bill signing and other paperwork) everyone with I-140 approvals were eligible to apply for I-485.
Is the situation that exists today any different than it was in year 2000 or 2001 ?
Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
Quite honestly, NO ONE can predict accurate wait times. Even, if some form of Bill gets through - it is anybody's guess as to how much time any of us will have to wait in order for us to be able to file our 485s'.
Expect to wait for a long time...
