though I agree there is no grace period however practically USCIS has not been rigid about the dates. MOST of the employers do not inform USCIS about firing of H1b. During dot com bust, USCIS has 'unofficially' said that 15-20 days are good enough (again not as a policy decision but informally). It should be avoided, however it may not be always possible, and having few days gap should not be something on which you make life or death decision.
Yes there is no grace period but INS overlook 3-4 weeks gap after layoff.I have seen lot of cases getting approved, if there were filed in that time period.

I have two 797s: one which is current valid till June 2007 and the other from July '07 till July '10 (using my approved I140). I am going for visa stamping this March at Chennai consulate. Can they combine both my 797s and stamp me till 2010 or they'll do it only till June 2007?

I want to start a new EB2 application but my manager is not willing. Actually, my labor is MS + 2 years but my attorney thought my I-140 will get rejected since I have included 1 month of internship in those 2 years of experience. I have masters + over 8 years of progressive experience. Working in the position over 6 years. Not blaming anyone just ranting because I don't want to change jobs now.
Thanks,
SG.

:mad: 12/11/2006: USCIS Considers Termination of Concurrent Filing (140/485)
According to the USCIS rule-making agenda, the USCIS is to propose to terminate current concurrent I-140 and I-485 filing. The proposed rule is scheduled to be published in March 2007 with 60-day comment period. It is thus not imminent, but in the later part of next year(Oops!), the immigrant community may see a totally different filing procedure including electronic registration and filing just like current PERM labor certificaiton application procedure. Once the concurrent filing is terminated, the immigrants may experience a terrible pain as related to maintenance of nonimmigrant status pending I-140 petition, eligibility for 245K benefit, plus unavailability of EAD and AP pending I-140 petition, AC-21 180-day portability, etc. etc. Should the I-140 petition processing be dragged, the pain will be extremely unbearable!

THIS IS AMERICA AND AMERICANS A Swiss Bank Is Set to Open Its Secret Files
In the hush-hush world of Swiss banking, the unthinkable is happening: secrets are spilling into the open.
UBS the largest bank in Switzerland, agreed on Wednesday to divulge the names of well-heeled Americans whom the authorities suspect of using offshore accounts at the bank to evade taxes. The bank admitted conspiring to defraud the INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICES and agreed to pay $780 million to settle a sweeping federal investigation into its activities.
It is unclear how many of its clients� names UBS will divulge. Federal prosecutors have been examining about 19,000 accounts at the bank, but UBS ultimately may disclose the identities of only a few hundred customers.
But to some, turning over any names at all heralds the end of the secret Swiss bank account, whose traditions date to the Middle Ages.
�The Swiss are saying that this is the end of Swiss banking as they knew it,� said Jack Blum, an offshore tax specialist. �Nobody will trust the security of the Swiss bank account.�
As part of the settlement, UBS agreed to cooperate with a broad summons issued by the Justice Department to turn over the names. Under the terms of a so-called deferred prosecution agreement, the bank and its executives could be indicted if UBS didn�t identify the customers.
UBS has said it is closing the offshore accounts of its American clients. But under the deal with the United States authorities, the bank must provide periodic written evidence of that to prosecutors. UBS earned $200 million annually from the business.
Prosecutors suspect that from late 2002 to 2007, UBS helped American clients illegally hide $20 billion, letting them evade $300 million a year in taxes.
In a striking admission, UBS said that from 2000 through 2007, some of its private bankers and managers had �participated in a scheme to defraud the United States� and the I.R.S. by helping American clients set up and conceal offshore accounts. The scheme involved falsifying or not properly obtaining or filing certain tax forms required of both the bank and its clients.
UBS�s offshore private banking business once employed some 60 private bankers in Lugano, Zurich and Geneva. Prosecutors claimed UBS referred clients to lawyers and accountants who set up secret offshore entities to conceal assets from the I.R.S.
UBS urged some American clients to destroy records and to stash watches, jewelry and artwork that they had bought with money hidden offshore in safe deposit boxes in Switzerland. The bank also encouraged them to use Swiss credit cards so the I.R.S. could not track purchases. In a statement on Wednesday, Peter Kurer, the chairman of UBS, said that �UBS sincerely regrets the compliance failures in its U.S. cross-border business that have been identified by the various government investigations in Switzerland and the U.S., as well as our own internal review. We accept full responsibility for these improper activities.�
Marcel Rohner, the group chief executive of UBS, said in a statement that �it is apparent that as an organization we made mistakes and that our control systems were inadequate.�
In January a senior UBS executive, Raoul Weil, was declared a fugitive, two months after being indicted by a federal judge in connection with the investigation of the bank. Mr. Weil, a Swiss citizen, oversaw the cross-border private banking operations from 2002 to 2007.
UBS had fiercely resisted turning over the names, even after some executives were indicted and implicated in the offshore private banking business. Swiss law distinguishes broadly between tax avoidance, tax evasion and tax fraud. Unlike in the United States, tax evasion is not a criminal offense under Swiss law.
The move by UBS to settle the case, on the eve of a Senate subcommittee hearing next Tuesday on the matter, signals how close the bank came to being indicted for not cooperating with prosecutors. Indictment is a near-certain death knell for corporations.
Of the $780 million that UBS will pay, $380 million represents disgorgement of profits from its cross-border business. The remainder represents United States taxes that UBS failed to withhold on the accounts. The figures include interest, penalties and restitution for unpaid taxes
As part of the deal, UBS also entered into a consent order with the Securities and Exchange Commission in which it agreed to charges of having acted as an unregistered broker-dealer and investment adviser for Americans.
The settlement caps a painful run for UBS, which suffered more than $50 billion in losses in the collapse of the American mortgage market and received a $60 billion bailout from the Swiss government last October.
The bank will not have to pay additional fines and penalties, which could have brought the deal to more than $1 billion. People briefed on the issue said the banking crisis and the recession were factors in this decision by prosecutors.

So sad and unfortunate. I'm always surprised with this. USCIS which is supposed to be the expert in approving/denying visa - approves it and some American in Delhi thinks that's wrong without even looking at the packet.
It's just annoying and unfortunate. I hope IV would help.

Looks like it is the photos. I got the RFE after opening a Service Request and they have asked for photos. Morons. They could have made it clear in the instructions to send photos.
It doesn't happen to everyone. A couple of my friends got the ead without sending the photos. It all depends on who processes your application. If he is an ass, you are in trouble.
So, better send the pictures if you are planning to e-file.
I have sent the photos and now have to wait for another 45 days. Hopefully a smart guy who knows what he is doing will process it this time.
I was in the exact same situation in 2008. I got a RFE for photographs in-spite of being photographed at the Application Support Center. Later when I received the EAD card, it had the photograph taken from the ASC printed on it. :confused:
I still couldn't figure out why the hell they issued a RFE for photographs then.

The rule that USCIS follows is that if they estimate that your priority date wil become current within a year they give you a 1 year EAD. When they estimate a wait of more than a year they give a 2 years EAD. ofcourse this is not strictly followed as we have seen cases of people falling through the crack and getting 1 year EAD when their priority date is far in the grey area (1 to 1.5 years from the current date)
Look at the bright side a 1 year EAD means that you will most probabaly be current in a year :D:D:D

Why shud he call the anti immigrant by that filthy word when all or most of what that guy conveyed with his post are nothin but pure facts. There r hundreds of gultis doing all sorts of illegal stuff in the name of immigration without any shame. Theres a saying that goes like..."If u tell someone as it is, he protests and kicks on ur chest" which seems very appropriate here.
Look man, don't make me say this, but you leave no choice. I know you are a Pakistani terrorist sympathizer only inciting infighting on the forum between Indians from different states. Why are you so focussed on what "hundreds of gultis doing", why not talk about what pakistanis are doing?
I try not to stay away from calling you out and posting a negative post, but you just won't stop doing this over and over again.

Firstly, i would like to thank you for replying to my question. Please find the below email sent by my lawyer today:
As per our conversation, attached are the two lists that you can review.
Starting from November 1st *Onet has changed the positions for software professionals, please find information below according to *Onet http://online.onetcenter.org/
There are no EB2 positions available for the Software professionals, only EB3 positions are available. However as we discussed earlier if the company has a business necessity and are able to produce the documents for the business necessity you can file the case under EB2, which is still beyond the requirement according to Labor Department.

Your 797 approval notice will have updated I94 which will supercede your previous I94. The new attached referes to your 797 number starting with "RAC" or "WAC" like that.
You need to submit this one too along with any old ones you have when you leave the country.

There were only about 3 or 4 that had more than 1 vote. Having a poll of 4 entries seemed odd, so the only fair thing would have been to give every entry you all voted for a spot in the poll.

In central NJ, I called over 9 Doctors and only two of them had an appointment before July 1st -2nd week.
One is Dr. Neil M.S. Estrella in Clark, NJ. Appointment was available for Monday June 18th. But the fees for the exam plus vaccines is $430. The second one is Dr. Marcel Stern in Piscataway, NJ 08854. Appoitnment was available for Thursday June 21st. The fees was more reasonable at $350.
If you're in Central NJ, Hurry, Hurry Hurry.
P.S - If some of you get other appoitnments in NJ, post here so that others will know and not waste time calling other doctors.
To look for doctors in your area, go here :
https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.type&OfficeLocator.office_type=CIV
You can just walkin to Dr Stern office. Even if you have an appointment with them, you may have to wait 0.5-1.5 hours depending on the time you go. If you go on weekend or weekdays after 5 you may have to wait longer but afternoon should be faster. And there fee may be more than $350 if you need to get shots and xray. Hope this help.
If you call them recp. will tell that appt is required but actually it is just walk-in and you may not get any preference ver people who walked-in.

thanks, it sure clarifies things.. and from what I read, these applications work in parallel. RFE on one application has no efffect on the other one. you just have to wait for one of them to come through, mostly probably EB1A. once you get approved on EB1A, they will cancel the remaining 2 applications. Good luck..
Yes, that's what my understanding is as well.
Thanks and good luck to you too.
