Hello, since this is a thread on Canadian PR - I wanted to know if anyone had been through a similar situation.
I got my Canadian PR about a year ago. I went thru the landing process and obtained the PR cards from Toronto about a year back. After that I returned to the US - I work on a H1B here. I have not been to Canada since I got my PR. I need to go to Vancover to get my H1B stamping done. I intend to be in Canada for no more than 2/3 working days and return to the US.
My questions are:
- Will the Canadian immigration officers ask why I am making the trip to Canada?
- Can they revoke the PR status if they deem that I am making the trip solely to get the US stamping done?
- Do I need to apply for a travel permit, even though I have the plastic PR cards?
Your input will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi, you may want to check out attorney Ksenija Kokanovic at www.visaimmigrate.com. I can definitely recommend her as she helped me with my case.

I have 2 approved I-140s from same company with which I am currently working. One PD is end 2004 and another is end 2005.
My I-485 was filed last July with PD end 2004 (I-140 was approved way back in 2006).
Recently, an ombudsman inquiry revealed my PD to be end 2005 and not end 2004. The 140 with PD end 2005 was never used to file 485.
Anybody with similar experience?
How do I get this corrected?
My category is EB2 India.
Sweet_jungle, I am in a similar situation. My attorney sent a request to TSC 3 months back to fix the PD but no response yet. What did you do to open the obmudsman inquiry? Did you send him an email or did you send him a letter in the email

Yes, definitely update the I-9. Also as rockstart suggested you are now in AoS status or in legalese - "Period of Stay Authorized by the Secretary of Homeland Security".
Also note there is nothing such as as dual H1-B and AoS status at any time.

I was not aware of the 120 days... I filed my wifes EAD day 138 days before expiry (should have been more carefull!)... So what happens now? Rejection? Denial? RFE?
Also what docs should be send after efiling, if any?
rejected. Meaning they will return it with your filing fees:

02/14/2008: USCIS Clarification of Denial vs. Rejection of EAD Renewal Application Filed Earlier Than 120 Days Prior to Expiration of EAD
* We posted this message on 02/04/2008 and raised this issue. The AILA has just reported that the USCIS clarified its message that the premature filing would be "rejected" rather than "denied." What this means is that the filers will at least save the filing fees

I sumited my wife's & my I140 and I485 together in this July 2nd, 2007. I already got receipt and the requesting for fingerprinting. If i file a divorce now does it going to have any effect on my processing?
this is very important.
Depends on who the primary applicant is.
Thanks,

I just saw this in latest Murthy bulletin about USCIS using Wikipedia and other internet based sources to gather information. This is serious news.
RFEs or Denials May Not Be Based on Wikipedia Information
The USCIS has been known to use an ever-growing number of publicly available sources, including internet sources such as Wikipedia. AILA members have been receiving denials based on the USCIS's use of information found on Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia to which anyone in the world may contribute information. As such, it should not be considered an objective or completely reliable source of information. SCOPS advised that it has notified the service centers and there should not be additional RFEs or denials based upon Wikipedia.
It should be noted that, as a corollary, applicants and petitioners should not try to use Wikipedia as support for their filings or arguments, since it has been deemed an unreliable source.

hey starscream
- What was the RFE about?
In the RFE they asked for end client letter, w2 , tax retrns for last 3 years and a bunch of stuff from my company. All the necessary documents were provided. In the denial they said that all documents were in order but that they didnt prove my specialty occupation.
- Are you employed by a consultant or employed full-time at a company's location?
I am employed by a desi consulting company.. and i have been in a job continously since jan 2006
- Did your employer have any profit isseus / layoffs reecently?
No
- Is your employer TARP funded?
No
- Do you have your EAD?
No , i just completed 3 years of H1. i was planning to become fulltime and start GC before the economy went downhill.
Do you have any info if i can appeal and file another h1 thru another employer at the same time? because i do have a project that is long term...
its driving me crazy....:(

My wife received the FP notice 3 weeks ago and her FP is tomorrow. I never received it even though I am the primary applicant. I do see updates on my I-485 application but no FP notice. The USCIS center is quite far away from my home. Can I try to go there with my wife and see if they can do my FP also tomorrow or is that a lost cause?
This happened to me twice in last 3 years and this is what I can tell you from my experience.
All member of the family should go for the finger print because often times figer print notices are lost in the mail. I went to the IO at the center and told IO officer that I did not receive the FP notice. She checked in the system and said that FP notice was sent for me as well. IO officer printed a FP notice right at the spot and handed that to me so that my wife and I could give finger prints together. If you do not give the finger print, the risks is that CIS may send you another notice or may send you the "last notice" before considering your application as abandoned.
I would say - better safe than sorry.

Thanks a lot for response guys...
Looks like i forgot to mention few of my own contraints...
I do not want to use EAD as i am single and don't want to jeoperdise my spouse visa by loosing my H1b status. So only option for me now is H1b.
My only concern is what if i lose some pay checks and jeoperdise my immigration history. 90% of my frinds who work with consultant are out of job/looking job..etc. All these makes bit pessimistic....!!!!

Thanks Dixie...Also, as per other forum members showing PD Year will give clear picture of voting..!!
The poll tool doesn't allow more than 10 options at a time. Now that I know the distribution of EB category, I will post another poll to get the years. I will create the new poll after checking out October visa bulletin.
We've all got to keep busy creating a poll or answering one for a while... don't we? ;)

i was reading http://www.immigration-law.com/Canada.html just now,
and I know that each year only 140000 green card is allocated for EB category.
I have several question regarding this number/quota:
1. Does that number (140000) include the spouse/all dependents of applicant ? or just the main applicant ?
2. I keep hearing of this 7% cap for each country, what does that mean ?
does that mean each country only have maximum of 9800 (7% * 140000) green card each year ?? or is it depend on the number of citizen of the country (for example citizen in India is bigger than Japan, so India will get bigger quota)
thanks in advance :D

How many of you support this idea ?
Rally in DC in the morning and Fasting till 5PM in front of the capitol.
Good idea. Now, how do we show that we are starving? Wont it be considered advantageous (healthwise) for many of us to starve? These days starving is not considered a self punishment but rather a therapy. I would suggest 'one day over eating-junk food' right in the front of the capitol would be better. In the US, I have noticed that most workers probably get a cofee in the morning, a pack of potatoe fries+coke for lunch and then eat heavily after 5PM. Thats very close to what you are proposing. Holding packards like "we skipped coke and lays today. now you better solve our problem".

I would say avoid London totally unless you have to collect any euro lottery money enroute to India. Just kidding. Why travel thru the counties that have so many restrictions?
If you are travelling via London and there is no valid visa on your passport then you need DATV ( Direct airside transit visa ) , it will cost you 83 USD , you can get more info from the below URL.

Hello,
:) Just a clarification around job requirements:
GC is always for a future position, so there is no need for the employer to keep the position (nor to keep it vacant). The employer needs to confirm that the position will be made available to the individual as soon as GC is issued.
If you get the GC and the position is not available, your GC is not in any jeopardy. Once the employer confirms that the position is no longer available, you are free to choose any other job. If you have already waited 4-5 years for GC, the same/similar job requirement also reduces in significance for post GC issued job.
PS: I know a few friends who waited to get their US citizenship and immediately relocated to India! Human mind is strange!! :)

Guys, Sorry for my ignorance but
I was checking vfs-usa.co.in website and in "Immigrant Visas for East & West " section, its written
An immigrant visa allows the person receiving it to live and work indefinitely in the United States. Immigrant visas are issued based on approved I-129F, I-130, I-140, I-360, or I-600 petitions that establish a family- or employment-based relationship between the petitioner and the beneficiary.
I have my I140 approved through a american company and my h1b is getting expired in june 09.
According to above wordings, I can get a visa to live and work indefinitely,based on my approved I140. I have never heard about it.
Might be some one can explain what is exactly means.
Thanks in advance!!!!

Ok, so the above says that you can get a "immigrant visa" based on approved 140 (for your case). In order to get that "immigrant visa" that will allow you to work "indefinitely", you need to actually apply for the the "visa". Based on your 140, you can apply for this "immigrant visa" in two ways. If you are outside of the country, do what is called "consular processing" where you apply for a immigrant visa at a US consulate in a different country. If you are already (legally) in the US, you apply for what is called adjustment of status. The problem is that these "immigrant visas" based on 140 are in short supply compared to demand. Join the queue.
... so whats your confusion?

I am sure there are many guys in this forum as frustrated as I am and we all have been wondering what our other options are. I also know that lot of people have started to think very seriously about immigration to other countries.
Based on our current circumstances, I have been wondering if it will be worth making a collective effort. In other words, how about if wrote an open and collective letter to leaders of the other immigrant friendly countries about our interest in immigration to their country for the mutual economic and professional benefits. I know this sounds a little silly but if USA is not ready to recognize and appreciate the benefits of legal immigrant community then I am sure there will be several other countries willing to benefit from this situation and gain competitive excellence. After all, we are all professionals and we all have lot to offer to the economy of today's competitive world. I believe we deserve a little better than we got right now.
Any thoughts?
