I've received this letter from DOL by mail. I think this is in response to the fax that i sent through IV a while ago. I am posting the contents of the letter here.
U.S. Department of Labor
Employment and Training Administration
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20210
Aug 28 2006
<My name here>
<My address here>
Dear Mr. <My name here> :
Your letter to Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao was referred to this office for reply. The Office of Foreign Labor Certification in the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is responsible for administering the Department's Foreign Labor Certification Program. You expressed your concern with the processing of cases by the Backlog Elimination Processing Centers.
We share your concern regarding the lack of transparency in the Permanent Backlog System and are working on approaches to provide additional information. The criteria for processing a case are dependent upon the timely and complete response of the applicant to all issues and to the First In, First Out (FIFO) status of case. However, assuming two applications with the same priority date, there are several factors that account for different processing times. These include the type of application (Reduction-In-Recruitment Vs. Traditional Recruitment), the stage of processing at which the application was received by the Processing Center, the dates of other applications pending at each center (which determines each application's place within the FIFO queue), the quality of the application (applications that raise questions take longer), and the response time of the employer to center requests for confirmation to continue processing the application. Nevertheless, based on our current progress, we estimate the permanent program's backlog of cases will be eliminated by September 30, 2007.
Sincerely,
<Signature here>

For first time H1B stamping, do we have to get it done in our Home country (India in my case)? Or can we get it done in Canada or Mexico?
I am currently on my OPT and have applied for my H1B visa. Your input will be appreciated!
Thanks

I believe, USCIS website was updated on Sep 21st 2009.
My Priority date is Jun 2006 and applied in EB3 category.
I got an email on Sep 22nd 2009 from USCIS saying "Document mailed to applicant". When I see online status, it is "Document production or Oath Ceremony".
I called twice USCIS to confirm it. But they are saying "According to online status the document was already sent to your current address".
I am in a situation to beleive it or not? to celebrate it or not.... :-( .....
And one more thing is "I got EAD before my marriage and I haven't added my wife to I485"?
If I get GC, how to add my wife to GC? is it possible? what is her status right now?
Thanks in advance...

better pray for the CIR to be passed first.
then get a comfortable chair and wait for the 20+ millions illegals to get ahead of you in the queue
This is not 100% true. However, they will have some effect!
does anyone know when they will discuss it - in the house and in the senate?
Senate: last 2 weeks of May.

The VBs normally come out on Fridays. So this month's VB will probably be on DOS's website this Friday. But I don't see any positive sign for EB movements. We will be lucky if EB2 and EB3 don't retrogress again, according to DOS's hint last month. To be realistic, there won't be any significant movement without any bills favoring immigration passed.

Let her come on her own (H1/B2) to the US and then you can apply for spousal visa to extend her stay.
Here's my situation in briefest form. I'm engaged to a woman in the Philippines. She worked as a domestic helper in Kuwait from about 2005 to 2007, a period of about 2.5 years total.
I understand that as we move forward on our K1 application (I'm an American just be clear) she'll be required to submit police reports for anyplace she has lived for more than 6 months. She doesn't have such an item from Kuwait, and it seems nearly impossible to obtain such a report. The websites all say that this document is only given to 'current residents'.
How can we obtain such document, and what if we can't? It seems unfathomable that the US Gov would request a possibly unobtainable document and then permanently deny our chance to live in the US together, if we are absolutely unable to obtain this document?
Does anyone have any advice, or can tell me what happens in a situation such as this?
Thanks for any help.

Does emotional trauma and endless domestic disturbance of peace caused by years of waiting for the Priority dates to be current count?
Also who has to be the perpetrator of the severe violence? If an H1B beats up another H1B does that count? Or it only counts if a Citizen or GC holder beats u up? Now this is an important piece of information so that I know whom to ask to beat me up!!;)

[QUOTE=bin2000;764909]Dear all,
My employer filed H1B with extension of stay even though I was not physically present in USA on the day of filing.I was out of USA on June 15th due to personal reasons and they filed H1B on July 10th.
I had requested them not to file extension of stay since I was already out of USA.USCIS approved the petition with extension of stay(I-94 attached).I need to go for visa stamping now .Will this create any issues while stamping?
Hello,
If you are currently abroad, you should not run into any problems as you do not currently have status. You should be able to reenter the U.S. using the I-797 approval notice and your H-1B visa stamp (if still valid). If not, you will require a new visa stamp. Either way, you *should* not run into any problems.
If you are currently in the U.S., please note that the extension technically does not apply - i.e. your expiration date remains what it was previously. If your status has already expired, I would strongly suggest consulting someone more intimately familiar with the specifics of your case. The most likely scenario will involve you immediately departing the U.S. to reenter with the most recent approval notice and thus utilize the additional time requested.

Silverlight can be deployed on networks using something more centralized like group policy. I don't believe average end users can install SL3 without admin priviliges.
The best place to learn more is the SL Deployment Guide: http://blogs.msdn.com/tims/archive/2007/09/28/deploying-silverlight-in-the-enterprise.aspx

My company has put BS + 7 as the primary minimum requirement, and MS + 5 as the alternative for my position. The lawyer says that he's going to respond "Yes" to the question "Are the requirements normal to the occupation?". His argument is that for the job title (Senior Software Engineer Team Lead), and the job description (which calls for extensive experience), the requirements are normal. He says the normalcy of the requirements have to be gauged both by the quantitative SVP criteria, as well as the qualitative O*Net description of job duties. While the quantitative criteria restricts requirements to BS + 2 or MS + 0, the qualitative criteria allows for "several years" of experience, depending on job duties.
I have seen the vast majority of EB2 cases not going over the BS + 5, or MS + 1, even though in the real world most employers will ask for much more experience. I think this is just to avoid business necessity issues. My company as well as my lawyer are sticking to the BS + 7 requirement. Let's see what happens. I either have a very smart lawyer at hand, or a very clueless one.

Hi,
I would have some questions concerning my case (didn't really find anything related).
- Up until December I was in the States under a F-1 visa.
- During December my H-1B was approved for my job which starts in February.
- I left the States at the end of December and reentered in February 2010 under the H-1B.
- I will start work in February and applied for a Social Security Number yesterday.
Now I'm not sure how to file taxes for 2009.
Due to the sign-up Bonus which I got for my new job I received a W-2 form which has 2009 written on it. 25% of my Bonus was withheld. Since I was a student in 2009 I'm not sure whether that is too much or the normal amount. Any ideas?
Are there any special forms I have to fill out due to this Bonus? Moreover: Is the Software I use for making my taxes independent of my Visa status? Do I have to indicate somehow that I was an F-1 last year and am now an H-1B. I mean I didn't even have a SSN last year.
I'm really lost here :(. Any help is appreciated.
