I recieved a letter from USCIS saying "we have forwarded your inquiry to Sec 245 Unit. You will be notified by mail at later date".
What exactly this means?
Do I need to worry about this Sec 245 Unit. Is it good or bad?
btw I am on EB2 priority date Aug 2005 and still waiting for GC.......:mad:
thanks,

Thank you for response.
I checked with attorney and I believe that is true, PP for H1b is not carried over on RFE reply. Response to RFE will go in a regular queue for evaluation. But, I hope this is not the case.
Yes, I read in forums RFE's and 221g both have become more regular these days.
I'll let the forum know outcome of this case. Thank you for visiting this thread!

One more day gone. A few more to go. Really what more can you do ? You can't do beyond a point. The best suggestion would be to get more PEOPLE knowledgeable about this issue.
The other day I came across one of my acquaintences who is doing pretty good in his area, who came to the US in the mid 70's.We were discussing about things happening in our community, I casually mentoned to him about the Legal immigration issue and he was surprised to hear the EXISTENCE of these issues. That surprises me that so many Indians, who have migrated to the US over past 30 years are either unaware of these issues or just want nothing to do with it. But I'm sure there is a sizeable number who would want to chip in the cause.
Get in touch with people you know and tell them to send faxes to respective senators, call or just support the cause.
MODERATORS: Can u make the WebFax area non-user area, many dont want to register, but are willing to send Faxes etc.NumbersUSA dosent need u to register.

LCA for H1 not for GC processing. My GC LCA is difefrent than H1B LCA .
I am not sure if any New LCA is required for 485 ...At least my company has not initiated any new LCA..
But they do file for H1B(LCA) if there is any change in work location.

Silicon Valley Immigration Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
An earlier blog post "Silicon Valley Employers Need to Prepare for Surprise USCIS Visits" (http://www.siliconvalleyimmigrationlawyer.com/2009/10/silicon-valley-employers-need.html#more) described the "new normal" of USCIS employees or contractors showing up unexpectedly and inquiring about past visa petitions and foreign national workers. A recently held Department of Homeland Security program, titled, "2009 Government and Employers: Working Together to Ensure a Legal Workforce" sheds more light onto the types of visits being conducted.
Ronald Atkinson, Chief of Staff of USCIS' Fraud Detection and National Security (FDNS) (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=0353f8e5492ec110VgnVCM1000004718190aRCR D&vgnextchannel=2af29c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD) office, explained the three types of site visits that are currently being conducted:
Risk Assessment Program fraud study. Applicable to any type of benefit program, including family and employment-based visas, this study is part of a joint program between USCIS and ICE (Immigration Customs and Enforcement). Applications and petitions are chosen at random, usually on a post-approval basis, for visits to help in designing profiles of potential fraud.
Targeted site visits. These visits take place where fraud is suspected, and consist of a visit to ask questions. Advance notice, including notice to counsel, is supposed to be provided.
Administrative site visits. These relate to religious worker and H-1B petitions (http://www.geelaw.com/lawyer-attorney-1054805.html). They generally are conducted by contractors who know nothing of immigration law. Religious worker visits are performed under the regulations for that category. For H-1B site visits, the contractors have been equipped with a set of specific questions, and all employers/beneficiaries should be asked pretty much the same questions, primarily reaching the issues of whether there's really an employer there, whether the employer knows it filed the petition, and whether the beneficiary is doing the work and receiving the wage indicated on the petition. H-1B visits are done on a post-adjudication basis, and are randomly selected. Each employer should receive only one such visit, but may receive different visits for different sites.

I had my Labor go through without any issues. I haven't yet applied for 140.
what would happen if I apply for F-1 visa to pursue my studies as full time student since F-1 is a non-immigrant visa and I have cleared my labor.
I know I can't proceed with 140 since its a petition for immigrant status and my F-1 will be rejected. My question is does labor certification also affects F-1 visa application?
Thanks in advance
My wife switched from h4 to f1 status. you can do the same and status studies, assuming you have valid status/visa right now. Later you can get visa stamped.
H visa is dual intent, and f is non-immigration. Since you already have h visa it will not be a trouble. This is from my experience and some of my friends.
good luck .

Hi Gurus,
I filed my 485 in June 07 ad hd my FP on 7th September, 07. I read on some of the threads that we would be geting notices for additional finger printing after 15 months or so. I havent received any yet. Should I be proactive an request for one? Will my EAD finger printng count towards the requirement? ( I had given my biometrics formy EAD last April i.e 08 April ). Is this the reason why I did not get the FP notice? Any one in my boat?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance
Anyone please share ur opinion.

The only difference is if you work for the univ on a cap exempt H1b and than transfer to industry on a cap H1b then you would have to go through the lottery or masters quoto whatever applies...however there is a loophole in this and I have read somewhere that when you apply for a transfer for a cap exempt to cap subject USCIS have goofed up and let it go through

Why not petition a GC for your mother and son? You are a US citizen petitioning their parent. It should be a fast process. And your son, if born after you became a citizen, might be entitled to US citizenship. I encourage you to talk to an immigration lawyer. I'm sure you have many options available to you.

u can file for a 3 year ext of H1 status under AC21 - This will enable u to continue in valid status while the retrogression eases if it ever will.
Also note that portability is allowed and u can switch employers during this period. u can retain ur current PD and use it for a later GC app if reqd

Our 4-H photo club met this (well, yesterday now - it was Monday) evening, and the leader brought her new D70. She knows that I'm interested in DSLRs, so she let me shoot it for about 15 minutes with my CF card. I brought home six NEFs (from about 10 or 11 shots, but I deleted a few in the process of "exposing to the right").
The ergonomics were great from my perspective (of having never touched an autofocus SLR before in my life). After a few minutes I had the basic settings in the menus and the exposure compensation figured out, though I didn't even bother with the built in flash (I put on my Vivitar 285HV for a few shots instead).
After seeing the results of 1600 ISO (the first few were shot on this as I hadn't figured out how to change the setting yet), I don't know why you guys complain about noise so much. This thing at 1600 indoors at night beats my P&S at whatever ISO it uses in overcast daylight! Well, maybe that exaggerates a bit, but certainly not much.
Anyway, I should stick on a photo for everyone to view... This was shot in NEF, converted with the Adobe converter with Photoshop CS, and then received a light Curve to enhance contrast, a warming filter because I wasn't quite happy with the white balanced I converted the file with, and no noise reduction. Oh yeah, I applied a bit of sharpening; if anything, I try to stay on the conservative side there, since I'm not that familiar with telling how much is too much.

Hi,
I was working with company# A as Electronics Engineer from Dec ’03 to Jan ’07 on H1B visa, Company# A filed my GC in May ’05 (as Electronic Engineers (Except Computer), 172072.), then later I got very good opportunity in IT field, I quite Company# A and joined Company #B because I build very good relation with Company #A and there were ready to continue my GC file. In August ’07, I filed I-485 (I got EAD based on pending I-485). Now Company #B giving me lay-off, so my question is –
Company# A still want to hire me after I got GC (because they were very happy with me, right now they don’t have position to hire me back), In this case can I continue working in IT field on EAD status (right now I am on H1B). My current (IT) and Labor profile are both different.
Thanks for your time.
I don't think so.
Your GC is sponsored by company A for "Electronics Engineer"
Your new job in IT would be neither 'Same' nor 'Similar' to the GC job.
So you cant use EAD to work invoking AC21.
You can find new employer who can sponsor H1 though and work in IT.
Thanks,
Krishna

I understand AP is like your visa stamp. I94 shows your status and not a visa stamp.
As a known fact,You may show to IO at port of entry only when it is valid and not expired.
You may also apply for an extension only when you wish to travel out and want to come in using AP.
