LC filing- No
I-140 filing and onwards- Yes
Thanks!!! This is what I know as well. Anyway, different lawyers have different advise. I just need to confirm some information that I got from my lawyer.

I would like to post a positive answer, but the fact is "it does not" . Unless the "DO Noting" Congress Does something - no relief soon. If you are young and in EB3 (with '08) PD, Use this time to earn a higher degree if possible and at some point in future, it might help you apply under the E2 or E1 category.
While waiting for my GC i have completed my Management program from Northwestern University and now i got myself ported to EB2. Knowing i cant got anywhere helped me focus on my Masters and get it completed. Now i am waiting to get the GC before i look for a new job. I think porting from EB3 to EB2 is going to help people in the EB3 queue who are not supported by their companies to covert to EB2.

Thanks for great services..
My situation is as under : " My case is in removal proceedings for violating H1b status for 3 months due to laid off situation, i am working on H1b now and my labor is approved and I-140 is pending, now my priority date is become current for I-485 filing", now who will adjudicate my case, INS or EOIR court, where will i file my I-485.
will court close my removal proceedings based on PD current..
i will really really apprecate your help.
Dont want to futher your suffering but you are hosed. I have a consultant working in our office with a similar situation and he is planning Canada.
I dont think this board has a solution for you. But a real good immigration attorney may do something (and that does not necessarily mean Murthy Or Khanna). Remember you still have a chance until you are in US. Legal or whatever, just run and scan every out you got.
From my common sense understanding the court won't do what you wish.

These are documents which have to be carried. There is no confirmation that he/she wil be asked but if asked they have the documents on hand. I got stuck in immigration for 4 hours when they asked me all the above documents. So i believe in better safe than sorry
On a side note this happened when i was travelling back from India via Lufthansa
Makes sense but a couple of my friends who traveled during the winter break and came back through ATL did not have an issue, so that was where I was coming from.

Hi PCS,
I would appreciate if you confirm if the notarized experience letter is accepted as substitute for the original experience letter. I am planning use a preapproved labor but the job requirement for that labor requires some specific skills. My old employer would not give me the letter. So can I ask my colleague to send me a notarized experience letter ?
Thanks,
pcbadgujar
Oh God!! People can and will do anything to abuse Labor Substibution.

Most of these case I have heard have got H4 visa without any issues. You will do OK. Go for stamping.
Dont give misleading information. If you are in H1B for three years without pay stub, its a serious issue.

There is a USCIS memo on Merger and Acquisition released some time in 2003/2004. I am not able to locate that. I have used that memo to continue my H1b.

1) 140 MUST be approved for your 5-26-01 application with your old company.
2) With your new company, get your LC approved under PERM
3) While applying for 140 with your new company, use your old company's 140 to port your 5-26-01 priority date.
Good Luck.
PS: Murthy version is reliable compared to Khanna, it is better to apply for porting during 140 stage rather than 485 stage.
Hi Friends My lc approved under 245i 05-26-01 world wide,my question is if I file perm with new company and if Ican get 140 approved can I use my old priority lc number and apply for 485.PLEASE HELP THANKYOU.

Hi,
I need to draw the IV website admin's attention to a minor style sheet issue which is making the site look a little bit "wonky" in Internet Explorer 6.0.
The CSS needs to be adjusted, as the "Contributions section" in the right most column is appearing midway on the page instead of way up top like it should in the other browsers.
I am trying to attach the image but it seems like I cannot attach anything with an image width of > 800 or an image height of 600.

Good to know and thanks for the update and hope your parents are doing well ...
Good to hear, Hope your parents are fine too.
Did you get your GC now?? All the best and thanks for sharing your experience at Dulles.
Thank you. Parent is doing fine.Slowly recovering.
GC? no..I don't think I am going to get GC even this time also.
We had our FP done on July28th. Raised a SR on Aug-2, got a response on Aug-4th, that case is pending background checks, wait for 6 months before another followup.
I spoke to FBI customer service and they said they sent results on July 28th itself (I specifically asked if the results include background check also)
So as it stands, I have become a sucker this time also.:mad:

Gurus,
I have EAD and FP done. Got receipts but no sign of getting AP.
Is this common? Many friends who filed during the same time as me got
it. I filed w/TSC.
thanks for all the help

Guys,
My A # on EAD is different from approved I-140? Is it common?

so can anyone confirm this 'no FP if filed via paper' thing?
As for mailing address, I guess if I do courier the package they all have the same address (N. augustine rd). So in that case, I can send them all in the same packet.
thanks.

Going to the original question. The H1B doesnt get invalidated.
The rules and available interpretations and memos talks only about the condition to "grant the extension". No where it mentioned a condition to invalidate an already granted extension.
As per the Neufeld memo links below:
On page 4 of memo:
USCIS is required to grant the extension of stay pursuant to �106(a) of AC21, in one-year increments, until such time as a final decision has been made to:
A. Deny the application for labor certification, or, if the labor certification is approved, to deny the EB immigrant petition that was filed pursuant to the approved labor certification;
B. Deny the EB immigrant petition, or
C. Grant or deny the alien�s application for an immigrant visa or for adjustment of status.
So if denied, there is no extension of H1B, the fact that 140 was approved is inconsequential since 140 approval is but one step in the process if 485 is denied then the whole application was denied and since the h1b extension is simply a stop gap till a final decision can be reached. The only recourse you have is to try and file a MTR with USCIS to reopen the 485.
See links below for more data

see Neufeld memo specifically, they also have all other memos and guidelines.
