You can still get a 1 year extension claiming that your PERM application is still pending. It all depends on the officer that the decision has not been made on PERM application.

Thanks for your response.
As per Indian law, my spouse's father should have also published her name change with the Gazette. That was not done.

Hello,
I am an Indian living and working in Gurgaon, India, and my wife is an American citizen. We're planning to apply for my GC and move to the US sometime next year but an opportunity has come up in my organization allowing me to take up a long-term assignment (on an L1 visa) in the US within the next 3-4 months.
I'm not sure whether it would be better for me to just take a GC right now (in which case, would my organization even have the option to apply for an L1 for me?) or should I take an L1 and go to the US whenever the opportunity materializes and then apply for my GC there?
I'm not sure about the pros and cons of both options and would really appreciate some advice although I shall be thinking about it some more on my own as well.
Thank you.

Hello Guys,
I didn't find any thread on this topic, if there is one please give me the link.
I have appointment in Ottawa for H1B stamping. I want to take my car instead of rental. Is there a problem?
Please share if anyone has done this.
Thank you in advance.
There should be no problem. I have gone there before and going again now next week for H1 stamping and plan to take my personal car. I have Canadian PR though, but I don't think it should matter.

this one is very cool
Thanks a lot Dom, it took some time for me to find transparent layered maps of water to work with. Initially this was drawn with the orange falling down, but an even splash wasn't what i had in mind. So I had random splash, mostly one directional and then spinned the image to have gravity work as well-once again thanks

Yes, you will need an Advance Parole or an appropriate visa to enter the US from Canada. AP approvals are taking close to 3 months these days so you should e-file your application ASAP. Also, call USCIS at (800) 375 - 5283 to expedite your application once you have the receipt number since you need to travel at such a short notice.

Another fun contest. Great work on the entries :fab:
I think I'll sit out and be a judge next time around (hopefully it's the T-shirt one, could really use a nice Kirupa T-shirt).

I was told by consulate staff that the PIO card should be endorsed with the new passport # when you renew your foreign passport. I guess if you are traveling with both the old and new passport it should be ok, since they can verify right there. It is also a hassle endorsing the PIO card everytime you renew your passport. If you try to find out from the embassy/consulate ( that itself is a hassle), they will probably try to sell you for an endorsement. I do not know about the fees. I will be surprised if they didn't have one for endorsement.

Congrates.. I know you are happy and why not..
Guys,
I just wanted to share some good news. I had two approved LCs. One with PD EB3 ROW March 05 and the other with ROW EB3 March 06. I had already filed the I-140 for the March 06 but not for the March 05 one. That was because of the way the job requirement was worded in that LC. The attorney was not sure if it would be approved. Anyway since the earlier PD became current in June I decided to take a chance and file I-140 for that earlier PD LC with PP. And what do you know, it got approved today and that allowes me to file for AOS this month. It was a bit of a gamble with money but it worked!!! :cool:

I am sorry to hear about your mother's situation but there is no dependent visa for parents. You can probably extend her stay for another 6 months, but eventually there will be a time when by law she would have to leave. I also never recommend that one extends their visitor visa, unless ofcourse there is really an emergency situation. I say this because there is likely more chances for your mother to get a denial, and then she would end up loosing her existing multiple entry visa as well. So, dont take that chance.
Also, in her current situation, how are you ever going to manage medical bills? There is no insurance in this planet that will cover any pre-existing conditions. So, my friend believe me when i tell you this that it is better for your mother to live in india than in this country. I can understand that you are a dedicated son, everyone should be. Your $$$ go a long way in india and you can get the best care for her for the money.

i don't believe there can be any guarantee against getting RFE or NOID. You can take precautions by following the regulations and yes having a job/job title in the same or similar occupations.
There is a lot of guidance about what constitutes "same or similar"... from USCIS
There are labor codes for every position/occupation in the Dept. of Labor...make sure yours falls within the same as directed by the USCIS guidance.
Hope this helps!

I e-filed EAD renewal. On the I-797 Notice of Action that they mailed me, the "Priority Date" field is blank. The same is true for my last EAD notice of action as well which I did not check last time. Is it normally blank?
Is anybody else in the same boat?

Below is a decsription of this amendment from AILA document which lists all the amendments that were discussed yesterday
http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22584
It confirms that the amendment #1231 applies to Y visa only. On the Senate discussion thread yesterday when this amedment was being discussed some body mentioned something along the lines that that Sen. Kennedy said he supported employer recruitment for all jobs and that really scared me ... I think Sen. Kennedy might have been referring to jobs that require the Y visa
This amendment does not mention anything on H1Bs. There was a lot of discussion on this point yesterday. I think we can breathe a litlle easy now.
The CIR does have other restrictions on H1B like $5000 more fees, restrictions for consulting companies & non-disaplacement clause but I don't think any GC type LABOR CERTIFICATION is required.
From the aila doc:
Durbin Amendment (#1231) to Remove DOL-Determined Labor Shortages as an Exception to Y Visa Recruitment Requirements
Senator Durbin (D-IL) introduced an amendment that eliminates DOL-determined labor shortages as an exception to employer recruitment requirements for Y visas. Senator Durbin argued that the amendment is an attempt to require that jobs be offered to Americans before they are offered to Y visa holders in the new worker program. Removing the provision in the underlying bill allowing the Secretary of Labor to declare labor shortages, he said, would achieve this, since all employers who use the Y visa program would always be required to offer jobs to Americans first. Senator Durbin cited the AFL-CIO as a strong supporter of his measure. Senator Grassley (R-IA), a co-sponsor of the amendment, also expressed his support for the amendment.
Senator Specter argued in response that this amendment is simply unnecessary, since American workers and their wages are already protected under the law. Senator Kennedy, however, expressed support for the amendment. He agreed with the general principle that a measure protecting American workers is good for the country. Ensuring that new Y visa workers don’t encroach upon American jobs or affect American wages, he said, is a step in that direction.
The amendment was agreed to by a vote of 71-22.
