Hi All,
****** I have searched all related posts but could not find an answer ********
I have applied my labor in EB3 category. As i am qualified for the senior position i have asked my management for the next level. so that i can apply in EB2 and get the priority data transferred from EB3 application.
with the July fiasco applied I485 with the EB3 application. Now my management is working to promote me from software dev to Sr software developer. Should i accept the promotion? my job responsibilites will be same with additional responsibilities. What will happen to my i-485 application if i take the promotion?
Thank you.
I believe, you can accept this promotion without any effect on your pending I-485. Remember though not all promotions are fine. For example you cannot get promoted from a developer position to manager position and continue your case without filing new LC & I-140. Please consult any good lawyer for advice.
In your case now you have 2 options after getting promoted. Either continue your case in EB3 category without doing anything or appy for new labor & I-140 in EB2 category and have the pending I-485 attached to your new EB2 I-140. Ofcourse here I am assuming that the new job requirement falls under EB2 and you are qualified for EB2.

Got it... Just dont mention anything about H1 for sometime.. if something comes from company/HR tell them you want it done in premium since you (or your wife) might have to visit India soon. If they dont sound keen on doing it in premium, you can offer to pay the premium fee. Most employers dont object.
Just my 2 cents.
Best of luck with you job search

I applied for H4 to H1 conversion (April'06) and then travelled to India (May'06). I came back on H4 (Jun'06). After one month my H1 was approved which includes a new I 94 valid from Oct'06.
Is this H1's I94 valid..?, as per law USCIS should abandon COS approval if alien travels out of U.S during its process.
Can I start my employment from Oct '06 or do I have to get my H1 stamped.

AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
The battle for comprehensive immigration reform is going to be tough as Senate Republicans play politics with the critical immigration issue. The Senate passed its $44.3 billion fiscal 2010 Homeland Security appropriations measure 84-6 last week after three days of debate that differentiated the bill from its House companion on a handful of border security and immigration policies. Unfortunately Senate Republicans used the opportunity to add significant new provisions to the less controversial �extender provisions� including an extension to the Special Immigrant Nonminister Religious Worker Program and the Conrad Waiver Program for Physicians Serving in Underserved Areas. The Senate also included a provision promoted by AILA member Brent Renison to allow the foreign-born widows, children and parents of citizens who have died to retain their legal status to seek citizenship for two years after the death. Senate Appropriations Bill a Mixed Bag of Immigration Provisions (http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=29510)
Senate Republicans added a provision to their chamber�s version of the bill (Schumer: Immigration bill to be ready by Labor Day (javascript:simplePopup()
Sen. Schumer the lead Democrat expects to have a bill ready by Labor Day that is more generous to highly skilled immigrant workers than those who are lower skilled and is tough on future waves of illegal immigration."
Even the Homeland Security Department spokesman Matthew Chandler said the Senate endorsement of Vitter's measure prevents real progress on immigration enforcement and is "a reflection of the old administration's strategy: all show, no substance."
In contrast, the Obama administration is trying to implement effective enforcement, he said. "We hope that the smarter strategy will prevail in the end, because the country deserves a system that works," Chandler said. http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSTRE5690F420090710 Reuters: U.S. Senate approves $42.9 billion homeland security bill.
Lets hope only hope the Senate and House conferees remove the fence building and E-Verify proposals that are obstacles to achieving a much needed reform of our immigration laws.https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/186823568153827945-4551757837994116508?l=ailaleadership.blogspot.com

1) Does that require any additional fees?
There is no additional fee, all you need a compelling reason to expedite AP
2) How long does it take for AP to come thorugh after expedite
My friends mom was hospitalized, not life threatnening issue - he was able to obtain AP in a week. Onething to note, this was before July fiasco.
3) In three weeks time we are travelling to attend brothers marriage--> is this reason good enuf?
Brother's marriage is not a compelling reason to expedite your AP - One of the IV member could not make it to bro's marriage, please read http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=15101 , this can throw some lights.
4) Is there any harm or backfire due to trying to expedite through infopass
It will not bring you any harm, if you present the facts for your request. It applys to all your request, not only for AP.
5) filed 485\ap on July 02. recieved EAD and FP already done.
You are all set, all you need is AP to travel outside USA or you can trip, if you have a valid unexpired stamp on your passport.

Hi
My H1 is due for extension this year end.
Valid period of H1 remaining is 1 1/2 year since extension
I understand that H1 extension has to go through the rigorous procedure nowadays.
It needs client letter stating that project will last for 1 year.
Getting such letter is not possible.
So having I140 approved makes thing easy for H1 extension? Or same process for h1 extension is followed
Please reply
Thanks
Abbey
Having I-140 approved only makes you eligible for a 3 yr extension, provided you submit all the documents required in normal H1 process. So, you still have to go through the same process.
