Has anybody tried getting an FP by walking in at an ASC? If you have waited really long enough, will the ASC entertain you if you produce them the I-485 receipts?
Yes, I just did that last month. I went to take my FP a week before my actual appointment date. I just walked in on Saturday morning. They were nice and helpful. But I did take my 485 Notice and FP Notice, you do need that. Mine was done in St. Paul, Minnesota service center.

Hi all, not sure if this has been posted in any other thread, if so, Admin please delete.
I was surprised to get a letter in mail from USCIS today dated March 26th referring my letter sent to White House from IV letter campaign.
Basically it says the letter was forwarded to USCIS from White House and after they researched my case, it is still under name check and my PD is not current yet for a visa. They also included three inserts on fact sheet about name checks-why and how, new memorandum on name checks that has been discussed here and the March/08 visa bulletin showing that my priority date is not current.
Just basic stuff but I wonder if these are being sent to everyone that sent a letter to the President during the campaign. Anyone else received the letter?
Anything on 2 year EAD?

Hi,
My wife and I are currently working on EAD and have used the AP to entry the US. We will be going to the Canadian consulate to apply for Canadian Visa (want to go on vacation). I had the following questions:-
1) What all papers are required?
2) How long will they issue the canadian visa for? I am planning on obtaining a multiple entry visa. When I was on H1 they issued me a visa which was till the end of my H1 expiration date.
Thanks.
Sorry to be sarcastic but , does your question requires a thread ? simple search in google and canada embassy will answer all your questions .

Adorama has it listed. They don't say whether or not it's in stock.
I recently made the move to digital by purchasing a D70. I'm interested in purchasing the Nikon SC-29 cord for use with a SB-800 on a Stroboframe quick-flip frame. I like the idea of the added flexibility that the SC-29 gives over the SC-28 because of the additional autofocus lamp.
However, after I ordered the SC-29 from Etronics.com (who listed this product as being in stock), they contacted me a day later to say that it was actually out of stock. Furthermore, they said that Nikon had discontinued the product, and that though they tried, they were not able to obtain one of these cables through another channel.
Has anyone heard about Nikon canceling the SC-29? That doesn't make any sense to me. I've seen these for sale on e-bay, but that is through a Japanese reseller, and the shipping takes a couple of weeks (not to mention, it's not an authorized Nikon USA dealer).
Any other information or input about the SC-29?
Thanks so much!

WASHINGTON�"U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced
today that it has received a sufficient number of H-1B petitions to
reach the statutory cap for fiscal year (FY) 2011.� USCIS is notifying
the public that yesterday, Jan. 26, 2011, is the final receipt date
for new H-1B specialty occupation petitions requesting an employment
start date in FY2011.
The final receipt date is the date on which USCIS determines that it
has received enough cap-subject petitions to reach the limit of
65,000.� Properly filed cases will be considered received on the date
that USCIS physically receives the petition; not the date that the
petition was postmarked.� USCIS will reject cap-subject petitions for
new H-1B specialty occupation workers seeking an employment start date
in FY2011 that arrive after Jan. 26, 2011.
USCIS will apply a computer-generated random selection process to all
petitions that are subject to the cap and were received on Jan. 26,
2011. USCIS will use this process to select petitions needed to meet
the cap.� USCIS will reject all remaining cap-subject petitions not
randomly selected and will return the accompanying fee.
On Dec. 22, 2010, USCIS had also received more than 20,000 H-1B
petitions filed on behalf of persons exempt from the cap under the
‘advanced degree’ exemption. USCIS will continue to accept and process
petitions that are otherwise exempt from the cap.� Pursuant to the
Immigration and Nationality Act, petitions filed on behalf of current
H-1B workers who have been counted previously against the cap will not
be counted towards the congressionally-mandated FY2011 H-1B cap.
Accordingly, USCIS will continue to accept and process petitions filed
to:
extend the amount of time a current H-1B worker may remain in the U.S.;
change the terms of employment for current H-1B workers;
allow current H-1B workers to change employers; and
allow current H-1B workers to work concurrently in a second H-1B position.
U.S. businesses use the H-1B program to employ foreign workers in
specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise
in specialized fields such as scientists, engineers, or computer
programmers.

I just got my labor approved for Masters degree and 3 years exp.
I have 3 years B.Sc degree and 3 years MCA degree from India and my education eval. shows it as equivalent to MS in computer Science.
In form ETA 750, under section 14, I have following data
College degree required:
Master of Science
Major field of study
Comp Sci/Engg,Info Sys Engg
Experience
3 years
Other fields under section 14 and 15 are blank.
RIR Advertisement has mentioned following
" Must have MS in Computer Science or Engineering, Information Systems Engineering or foreign degree equivalent with 3 years of relevant work experience."
I am little confused about "College degree required:" field. It only says "Master of Science". Should it be "Master of Science Or foreign equivalent"?
Edit/Delete Message
I don't want to scare you, but I think the words "or foreign equivelant" is required unless you have a US degree.
Please speak to your attorney about this.

AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
The Board of Alien Labor Certification Appeals (BALCA) recently upheld the final determination (http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=30320) of a Certifying Officer (CO) denying labor certification (LC) for an alien worker for the position of Electrical Helper.
The employer filed a LC (http://www.mvplawgroup.com/greencards.php?action=laborcert) on behalf of an alien worker and in November of 2007, the CO denied the application because he was unable to verify the Employer as a bona fide business entity. The Employer requested reconsideration by submitting its 2006 Federal Corporate Tax Return, its Business Certificate Registration and two utility bills. The Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) provided on the 2006 Tax Return only matched the first two digits of the FEIN previously provided on Form ETA 9089. Furthermore, the utility bills and the tax return provided a different address from that on the Business Certificate Registration. Thereafter, the CO issued a letter denying reconsideration because the FEIN on the corporate tax return did not match the FEIN on ETA Form 9089. The CO then forwarded the case to BALCA. The Employer filed a letter stating that its company had two addresses, one for its motor shop and the other for its main office, the CO did not file an appellate brief with the Board.
Upon BALCA review, it was determined that the requirement in ETA Form 9089 requiring submission of a FEIN was fully supported by the regulations and by policy of using the FEIN as a means of verifying whether an employer is a bona fide business entity. An employer MUST possess a valid FEIN when applying for labor certification pursuant to PERM (http://www.mvplawgroup.com/greencards.php?action=permprocess) regulation 20 C.F.R. � 656.3. In the present case, there was a discrepancy in the FEIN provided in ETA Form 9089 and in the 2006 tax return; however, the Employer failed to explain the discrepancy.
Accordingly, since the discrepancy in the FEINS was not clarified, the Board affirmed the CO�s denial of certification.

Its complicated and gray area, I haven't seen any success from anybody yet.:confused:
There are two ways of porting older priority date
#1 if your old PD is stuck in backlog center, file a new perm labor with exact same wordings( same category too ), this is well documented.
#2 If you have an approved labor(can be substituted also) and approved I-140, then file a new labor with any employer under any category(eb2 in your case). Once labor is approved, at the time of filling new I-140, you need to specify that you want to port priority date of previously approved I-140. Specify relavent memos too, try finding attorney who knows or have done this atleast once :D
"EB3 - Labor filed - Aug, 2004 - BackLogged - Philadelphia - 45 day letter - Replied"
priority date from above labor can only be captured if it gets approved and employer files and get I-140 approval for this labor, and then you go ahead and file a new I-140 for your already approved EB2 specifying need to recapture old PD.
This is all from top of my head w/o having any degree in relavent field, please talk to attorney before taking any action blah blah blah.......
