I have my I-140 waiting at NSC from May 01, 2006. On Dec. 05, 2006, I-140 processing time shows as June 01, 2006. Since, it was more than 30 days, my employer called the National Service Center number and they opened a service request and told me to wait 45 days. My lawyer says that USCIS takes 45 days at a minimum to reply, but normally it is 90 days.
Is there anyone out there, who know how to track this service requests or have any experiences with them.

Agreed to the points above.
However my new offer is also with the same employer, just different team and location. The HR, Immigration Dept, lawyers etc are all the same.
Im not changing my company - but just the team & location.

Thank you very much for the replies.
Right now I am leaning towards cancelling my trip, even though it is going to cost me the entire price of the ticket, besides of course the immeasurable cost of not visiting home.
About the suggestion of hiring a lawyer, can an immigration lawyer here in the US help me in any way with a situation (the renewal interview) and an all-powerful person (the interviewer) half-way across the world? I can see how a lawyer may help smooth this problem if I were changing status while in the country (say from F1 to H1), but I don't see how a lawyer would help with my visa renewal...perhaps I just don't understand the extent to which a lawyer may be able to help. Is my question clear?
Again, thank you for the advice.
The lawyer will be able to tell you (i) what is the legal implication of your charge in regard to F-1, (ii) statute of limitations of your charges, (iii) how long the records are kept (there are levels of access and with time some charges go down the levels). A lawyer gives you legal counsel (suggestions/appraisals); they are not supposed to "do" stuff for you, nor take decisions for you. You pay your lawyer simply for reliable information (and paperworks, usually).

I am filing for my EAD renewal and had a quick question...I have an EAD card from when I was in college and did my OPT. The problem though is that I do not have some of the details that they ask for while filing EAD renewal, such as what Center was it processed at & what was the application date.
I have already called USCIS & they cant pull up what center my EAD was filed at or the date it was filed. Can anyone suggest what I should do in this situation? What do I put in the form? Does anyone have similar experiences?
I suggest, call immigration department of your Graduate school, they must have the details. Or just leave it blank that information. One of my friend had EAD on OPT and when he applied firt time for EAD(while pending I-485), he left that information as blank and he got his EAD
These are my suggetions

I would like to open this thread for those who are worried about the implications of using AC21 after 180 days. Lots of folks on several thread have either attempted to scare(any desi consultant ;) ) or are just scared!
I would like to have ppl share there reviews and experiences but I assure you
that AC21 is the law and your I-140 revocation has no effect to your on going process if you've done as required by the law as follows:
1. Joined the new job in the same or similar category
&
2. Minimum salary as specified per approved labour
So pls dont worry..be happy..love AC21! :D

A quick question:
I just have the FRONT side copy of the EAD stored.
Why do we need the BACK side of the copy?
Responses will be appreciated.
It is mentioned specifically in the 765 instructions ... see on Pg 6

Did you ever had problem in getting VISA or your case was sent for further review because of security reasons? I just want to understand if there were any abnormalities in your any visa approval(s).
All the best. Hope you become green and recyclable (job wise) soon :)

Hi,
I know there have been numerous posts regarding this matter, but there have been a lot of different responses to the same question. I would really appreciate it if you could please have a look at the questions below and clarify these matters, not only for me, but also for a lot of other IV members who are in the same boat as me.
I am working for an IT consulting company on an H1B visa. My employer (Company X) has applied for my green card under the EB3/India category. I have my labor and I-140 approved. My priority date is March 2006.
If I change my employer, can I transfer my already approved labor and I-140 applications to my new employer (Company Y) or will Company Y have to re-file my labor and I-140 applications from scratch?
If it�s the former:
1) Will my old priority date get transferred too?
2) Does it matter if the Company Y is not located in the same state as compared to Company X?
3) Does it matter if my job description and/or designation at Company Y is/are different?
4) Is there any way Company X can cancel my labor and I-140 applications? If yes, does my old priority date become void if Comapny X does decide to cancel them?
5) Does Company Y have to communicate with Company X to get any green card related paperwork?
6) What if Company Y decides to wait for a couple of years before filing my green card, can I still use my old priority date when Company Y files for my green card application?
7) What if Company X goes bankrupt and closes down, can Company Y�s green card application still use my old priority date?
Any response will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

AFAIK, This only applies in cases where the visa that is being sought is not a dual intent visa.
US consulates in India don't follow a logic. They dont like someone applying for a non immigrant visa once 485 is filed and pending.

When I went for H1B stamping my B1 was cancelled and I was told one can not have more than one visa at the same time.
That is totally wrong on whoever said that to you. One can have B1 and work visas on their passport without any problems and use it based on the nature of the trip. Only conflicting visas will likely be cancelled. Eg would be L1 and H1 at the same time for different employers. The VO could cancel the one that isn't being used.
Either the VO that took your case wasn't well versed with the law or made a mistake.

If you read the rules closely, the employer is attesting to the fact that the job will be readily available at a future date. So as long as the employer issues a letter attesting to this, there is no issue. AC21 is very specific = 180 days not less. So even with a letter from the employer, IF i-485 has not been pending 180 days, you cannot induce AC21 If you do indeed move prior to the six months, make sure you amend your H1B for the necessary changes (eg location)
Confirm with the co lawyer also. Yes, you are right. Always confirm advice with a lawyer
Hope this helps
