On August 5th, My Online status got updated: Approval Notice sent
On August 19th, My employer got the notice stating that my petition is denied. He scanned it and forwarded it to me.
On September 10th, My Online status got updated: the post office returned the notice we last sent you on this case I129 PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER as undeliverable. This may have serious effects on processing this case. Please call xxx to update your mailing address for this notice to be re-sent.
All this is leading to big confusion in my mind. I am not worried about denial. I am worried about what is happening here? Why Online status is deviant from what my employer says?

Hi,
My I140 is approved and I485 is pending. I am working Full Time as a Software Devloper on EAD with a Consulting Company. I have been offered a part time work of same nature by my friend. He has a company and he offers to pay me on 1099.
Would it be ok to work part time(15 Hrs. per week) and accept payment on 1099.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Nid
In EAD, you can have as many jobs as you can (using 1099 etc).

Check the I-94 date on the previous extension. If she overstayed beyond that date it could lead to 3/10 year bar depending upon her period of overstay. USCIS rarely ever grant extension for more that 6 months after the initial six month admission.
my mothe in law is visiting us. she came to the Us last Aug 2006 as a B2 (tourist visa). we extented her visa once which iwas valid for Aug 8, 2007. then we applied for the extention again. yesterday we received the letter saying USCIS is not going to extend the visa anymore. the application had been rejected. but they didn't mentioned any date in the letter about when she have to go back.
what is safe for her? does she have any deadline to go back? is it 15 days or a month....
someone please let me know...thanks ahead

U.S. Department of Labor has implemented a new integrated online system � known as the iCert Portal � through which employers can submit applications for permanent labor certification, labor condition applications (LCAs) and other applications for immigration-related DOL programs. In addition, the agency will introduce new editions of Form ETA-9089, the PERM labor certification application, and have already introduced Form ETA-9035, the labor condition application. iCert has already replaced the method of LCA filing for H-1B. The new iCert system begins to accept LCAs as of July 1, 2009. Employer and attorneys as the case may be, can still use the old LCA account but cannot submit new LCA. New LCA has to be filed from iCert.
Following are the new changes which has taken place:
- The new LCA requires writing the SOC (ONET/OES) code and the occupation title for the job.
- The new LCA has a section for basis for the visa classification supported by the application. There are the following categories:
a. New employment;
b. Continuation of previously approved employment without change with the same employer;
c. Change in previously approved employment;
d. New concurrent employment;
e. Change of employer;
f. Amended petition.
- One has to indicate the total number of H-1B/H-1B1 (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) non-immigrant workers.
- The new LCA also requires, in the employer information section, to indicate the Trade name/doing business as (DBA), if applicable, the old LCA does not have this requirement.
- In the new LCA, one is required to write NAICS code.
- There is a new section in the new LCA - Employer point of contact information, which requires to indicate the following: full contact�s name; contact�s job; contact�s address; contact�s telephone number; contact�s e-mail address.

Thanks Aranya..
Reg. ques 2 - Let me rephrase it
This is my wife's first H1B which is valid for 3 years ( started in Oct 2005 - Oct 2008). If she does COS to H4 now (June 2008) and if she plans to COS to H1 next year (Lets say March 2009), then will her new H1 application still be considered against the H1B cap (cos her first h1b must have expired in Oct 2008)?
Where can I find the 2005/2006 Memo ?

HI,
My aunt petioned for my mom (and thus her kids) years ago, My aunt's a Us citizen, and after many years the process has started its final run. For the last two years i was an F1 student in a college in the usa and recently ive come back home; while i was there i married randomly anyway, nothing happened it wasnt a real marriage, and im getting it annuled.
So now im back home and since this process (my aunts petition) has started , im 21 but im covered aswell since the child status protection act covers me. Now, the requirements for the children (derivative beneficiaries) of the aplicant/beneficiary (my mom) to be included are to be under.. 21 (im ok in this part because of CSPA) and UNMARRIED. My question is,,, am i still gonna be included if i show my annulment certificate? as i see it the annulment itself shows that an american court declared that marriage to be voidable and not real so it should make me unmarried.right? would it also be unmarried for immigration purposes if it was divorce instead of annulment? i'd appreciate any feedback, thank you.

Hi,
I have an approved H1B for teaching Maths, but I got an offer for teaching ESL (I am certified in both the subject). Am I allowed to teach ESL also? Is the visa subject specific?
Thanks!
What title they used in your labor certification? Did they explicitly mentioned as MATHS in LCA?
Unless and until you are working in the same professional, as the one filed in your LCA, you should be good. Suppose if they filed for a teacher and you are working as a programmer, then it becomes the technical violation of your LCA.
Though you want to teach ESL, as you are still teaching some thing, it should be good.

If your H-1B status started on 10/1/05, then your 6th year is 9/30/11, as you suggest. By 9/2011 your LC will, have been pending for 365 days so you can get a 7th year extension. Maybe the attorney thinks that August 2010 is the end of your 6th year. You should confirm the dates with her/him.
You cannot request a H-1B extension more than 6 months before the start date. For example, if you want the new H-1B to start on 8/15/10, your employer cannot file before 2/16/10.

Now because all embassies and consulates required to use PIMS to verify your H1B status... sometimes takes several weeks to get the passport stamped. In my case takes 3 weeks after interview to get my passport back (embassy at Lima, Peru).
So beware of the timing
I just bring a copy of my wife H1B approval and copy of lasts taxes ... just in case

Why take risk ? File an LCA.
Anyway LCA is tied to work location, so you probably will have to file an LCA. --My guess

I'm on my OPT, basically student F1 visa.
The thing is the company where I work is ready to sponsor me. They only don't know which occupation to write for me in order to be eligible for H1B.
I'm working over there on administrative position and doing various accounting things.
Thanks

Yes there are limits to salary. I will try to post more details on it when time permits and as I myself find details from my own research.
Basically, stay above what was in your labor/140. Do not go too high, 10% per year raise is ok. Job duties should stay same or similar. You can be a sr. software programmer from a software programmer but not a VP or Architect...(you got my point).
This is a gray area and tough to get a correct advice easily.
This is also a big issue for our community since people cannot get promoted or take big salary raises due to this limitation. Ask people who are stuck in 485 stage for many years.
I know a lot of people are counting days to just jump into a new job after 180 days. But make sure you factor in all the risks when you do this. Be prepared for an RFE on it.
and BTW I am reading so many posts that say you can jump jobs before 180 days. Please do not misrepresent the Yates Memo and regulations to prove a point. You need to stck to the job for 180 days definitely. The only exception is that if you are sure that the job offer will wait for you indefinitely in infinite future when you get an RFE. Do not take immigration laws lightly. And yes, always seek advice from a good lawyer when you take such important decisions. Forums are simply opinions from people without a law degree or experience.
will post more on this thread as I find more info

My attorney has asked for the I-485 to be printed:
double sided with Flip to Top option.
Did anyone else do the same?
for what its worth I printed mine single sided. I hope USCIS is not as nitpicky as your lawyer. I printed in black ink, maybe if it was pink or green or orange they might raise an eyebrow, otherwise I hope they dont really care
