I have an appointment in Toronto next month and today I got a voice message from the US embassy in Canada saying that there could be processing delays of days or months and the decision will be taken by the visa office during the interview. Has anyone else got this kind of message?

There is a quirk in the immigration laws that allows a person working for a cap-exempt employer to start working for a cap-subject employer once the petition is filed, even if the new H-1B status cannot start until 10/1/09. If the new employer files an LCA with a start date of 7/27, you should be able to work for that new employer under H-1B portability. However, if the new petition is denied, you lose your work authorization immediately.

Yates memo dated May 12, 2005 - is it still valid and has there been any change to it since its out ?
I want to specifically focus on the following question:
Question 8. Can an alien port to self-employment under INA � 204(j)?
Answer: Yes, as long as the requirements are met. First, the key is whether the employment is in a "same or similar" occupational classification as the job for which the original I-140 petition was filed. Second, it may be appropriate to confirm that the new employer and the job offer are legitimate through an RFE to the adjustment applicant for relevant information about these issues. Third, as with any portability case, USCIS will focus on whether the I-140 petition represented the truly intended employment at the time of the filing of both the I-140 and the I-485. This means that, as of the time of the filing of the I-140 and at the time of filing the I-485 if not filed concurrently, the I-140 petitioner must have had the intent to employ the beneficiary, and the alien must have intended to undertake the employment, upon adjustment. Adjudicators should not presume absence of such intent and may take the I-140 and supporting documents themselves as prima facie evidence of such intent, but in appropriate cases additional evidence or investigation may be appropriate.
Does this still hold good ? And if it does can someone help me understand the criteria mentioned here. Too much of technical jargon

My Father is applying for Citizenship in Nov 10. If he becomes Citizen then can I file I485 under F3(married sons and daughters of citizen parents). Category and port priority date of May 03 from my employment base I-485 to I-485 under F3?
hi there,
Unfortunately INA (immigration and naturalization act) does not allow to transfer Employment Based priority dates to Family Based immigration. So no, you can not do it.

You can stay in the US until the decision is made on your H1B application, and you can legally work (for the same employer) for up to 240 days from your application date if the case is in pending state.
Regarding DL renewal, it really depends on the DMV you go to and the knowledge of employees there, but some DMVs, especially in locations like NJ, are aware of this situation and extend the DL by 90 days based on your original I-129 receipt notice.
And in case if your h-1b application gets denied and you do not have EAD to fall back to, then you are supposed to apply for your legal status (H1 transfer (** not sure about this) or other visa categories) within 10 days of your denial notice or leave the country.
As long as you are legally here (all the time) and are working in your stated field, you shouldn't have any problem.
Cheers..

You should apply for a renewal EAD six months before your original EAD expires. Check out this link below.

Yea. Thats true. I will think about it. It is possible to receive receipt in one week under normal circumstances. When I had applied for 140 (Regurlar Processing) in May before the fiasco I received receipt in 3 days.

After a long journey on several non immigrant visa's my GC finally got approved. The questions that I would like to throw out for the group to think on is regarding the period for which one has to keep all the H1/H4 approval notices and supporting documents?
In my case, I have been here for 10 years and have a 15 pound folder that has all the approval notices (I-797) and supporting documents (copies of I-129, transcripts, everything under the sun)
I would hate to have to carry this for the rest of my life.
Lawyers - Your legal opinion would provide relief to my aching shoulders :)
you will need to keep them until you are naturalized. scan them and keep digital copies in a handy location, while you store these originals somewhere in the basement.

if you want to get h4 extension , you will have to file I539 not 524.
BTW, your h4 extension will be denied, if you are not extending your H1
Thank you very much for the advise.Is the I524 the only form that I have to fill.Please advise on this......

I own a couple of lenses for a canon camera and would like to get a Nikon D70. Something that would greatly encourage me to do so would be if I could use my current lenses with the D70. I have found some adapters but I have no clue which one I would need. One lens is a Canon EF 28-80mm and the other is a Sigma 100-300mm if that helps. Hopefully somebody here knows. The staff at camera shops usually never respond to my emails, unless I have bought something or I tell them i am going to buy something from them soon. :rolleyes:

Guys:
I wanted to know that if somebody has currently an approved LC and I-140(EB-3) with Company A and decided to change jobs to Company B, who would now file under EB-2.
a) Can he hold on to his EB3 priority date..though the new petition would be filed under EB-2 ?
Yes, I know a lot of ppl have asked this question in the wake of the retrogession that we are all sufferning through ?
b) If this Company B were to file for H1-B , as I understand it would count towards the 2007-2008 quota which opens on April 1st '07...does this scenario also force you to not start working till Oct'07 (which is when ppl who file in the 2007-08 quota are supposed to start working).
What I am trying to understand is that in this scenario can you change jobs and start to work for Company B without having to wait till Oct'07 ?
Thanks

I've taken a lot of bird pictures that have to be cropped even more than this. While I'm not happy with the detail it is still quite possible to see what bird it is :) and maybe the best I can do with my current lenses. Until I get a better opportunity and get closer to the bird I'll accept the picture, at least for my own archive. I think your frog picture is acceptable at that size, and could perhaps also be improved a bit more with some creative noise reduction and sharpening to give the impression of being a bit better than it is. I agree digital is amazing, there's indeed a lot of info that can be extracted from the megapixels.
