My MTR was received by USCIS on June 25, 2009. Today I received an auto-generated email with case status update. My MTR has been denied :-(
Any advice for the next steps is appreciated.
What were you or the company applying for originally that was denied? More details please....

Yes you can apply for EAD and AP separetly anytime
The only catch I found out recently is that when you use AP to travel back to US, this may invalidate the H visa and you will need EAD.
I am still not clear of this issue. I applied for EAD few months ago and found out this may be an issue , so have applied for AP (By e-filing) now

Hi Aditya,
This is my guess and it is not a calculation (like the experts do).
Optimistic: EB2 India will be current in November 2006
Pessimistic: EB2 India will slow down due to large number of cases during 2003-2005
Realistic: I dono!
Experts please fill in your thoughts.
Guys i am new to the forum
I know its a tough one to guess but
any idea what could be
Most Optimistic Outlook for Eb2
Most pestimestic Outlook for Eb2
Median Outlook for Eb2?
thanks

Thanks, Kodi! Any idea if that H4 wait time can be applied to offset the 1 yr LCA filing requirement?

I think TSC is strictly screening all applications so that it will not be burdened by too many cases including incomplete application to be processed. Therefore, in the long run, TSC will be faster in approving or denying cases.

In the past week or so we have been receiving many requests for evidence on all H1b cases filed on April 1, 2009. The RFEs received by us and practitioners across the country so far appear to only request that the single page of the I-129 Data Collection sheet be sent with the TARP question answered.
Due to the passage of EAWA, USCIS is required to collect TARP (and Section 13 funding) information on each H-1B petitioner. However, by the time the new form became available, we had already completed our packages for the H-1B cap filing period for April 1, 2009. Therefore, USCIS confirmed that the new I-129 form was not mandatory and that only the one page (of the I-129 Data collection sheet requesting the TARP information) was urged to be included.
At the AILA Spring Conference in Washington, D.C., Barbara Velarde, Chief, USCIS Service Center Operations, mentioned that if the TARP information was not included in the filing, the petitions would not be rejected. However, USCIS would need to send an RFE for the TARP information. Unfortunately, this was not clearly explained in the USCIS fact sheet on TARP issued on March 20, 2009. Nevertheless, USCIS is required under the EAWA statute to obtain this information and the easiest way for USCIS to comply is to send an RFE. This is a very annoying and time consuming process for all us dealing with H1B filings, and even more confusing for the clients. We hope that USCIS explain better such crucial changes in future matters.

It's up to the employer if he wants to keep you as an employee and has the right to cancel your H1 if he likes to do so. Just because you left the country doesnt mean that your H1 becomes invalid, but again its up to the employer.
That's right. Only thing is he will be required to pay you. Make sure you get pay stubs in case you are asked to prove your status at re-entry.

My attorney has asked to send color copies of the driver's license for 485 filing. I just now realized that I have not changed my address on the license. Will that be a problem? Is it critical to have current address on the license? Any thoughts?

Hi guys,
My I140 was approved last week (RD July 2007). I have the approval notice copy from the lawyer but the online status is still saying its pending.
I called uscis and she told me that she is seeing that its pending too but if i have the approval notice then not to worry. It takes them some time sometimes to update the system, as per her.
But my concern is, when my PD becomes current and if their own system shows my I140 penidng(eventhough it's approved), how will they approve 485?
Any one in same boat or any past experience?
Thanks and good luck to all who are waiting.

You are more than welcome to do the stamping in any country... just that if your name comes under TAL or any other check, you would end up enjoying that country for longer than you had intended originally...
I have been to Canada twice for stamping - no issues, just realized that they have become more strict in evaluating candidates - one friend of mine enjoyed Toronto for about 1.5 months (originally intended for 2 days).
So talk to your lawyers and be safe and comfortable :)
As said, you can go any US consulate to get your Visa stamped, I got my twice in Canada, once in Dublin, once in London, most times I was travelling on business, I know if there is somethging wrong my company and the lawer will be there. It depends on your company, I guess...
