The U.S Department of State (DOS) has advised that there are no more employment-based visa numbers available for fiscal year 2009, which concludes September 30, 2009. This affects all employment based categories, but particularly applicants in the employment-based non-ministerial fourth category (EB-4). The EB-4 non-ministerial category includes religious occupation, vocation and professional categories (but not the ministerial category).
The non-ministerial EB-4 category is set to expire September 30, 2009 and individuals in this category must have their adjustment of status applications approved or if they applied via consular processing, they must be admitted into the United States by midnight by September 30, 2009. Unless Congress extends the sunset provision, individuals in the EB-4 non-ministerial category are unable to file Form I-485 Adjustment of Status Applications or consular processing applications after September 30, 2009.
While the I-360 religious worker petitions (ministerial and non-ministerial categories) may still be filed before September 30, 2009, given the unavailability of visas in the EB-4 category the month of September, the Applications to Adjust Status (Form I-485) or applications for consular processing will not be accepted this month. Thus, adjustment of status applications that remained pending will not be approved unless a visa number had already been captured.
Individuals in the EB-4 ministerial category are eligible to file Adjustment of Status applications until October 1, 2009, when visas in the EB-4 category become available. Please visit the visa bulletin (http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_1360.html) available at the DOS’s Web site.

Please provide your answers. It is very urgent...
I would really appreciate your answer.
I have two question regarding my h4 visa appointment. My husband has Pay stubs (June to Aug)from Company A.And his company B pay stub is from Sep 10th,2007 to till date. When he was switching from Company A to company B, he got 15 days gap. He didn't has pay stub for those number days.
Is Chennai consulate particular about those dates and ask for pay stub in between those dates. Please advice me.
2) My husband lawyer forget to apply my H4 extension. Unknowingly I over stayed in US for one and half month. We talked with lawyer. she told that she applied for H4 extension before, but US CIS over looked that file. So she filled again. That H4 approval is still pending. In the safe side I left US. I tried to left US immediately, but I wasn't able to get flight ticket.
By Showing that receipt in Chennai consulate, Could I get H4 visa stamping.
Thanks

You've been approved per your message below. So all it means in your case is that the USCIS has to let the Visa Center and/or Dept of State know that.

Hi,
I am wondering if I can sent both my and mywifes EAD applications in one envelope to USCIS or do I have to send them separately. I am not asking to save money on postal costs , as everyone knows we all spent 1000's of dollars in this GC process. I am only asking so that our(my and mywife) applications are processed together?
Thanks in advance for your input

In response to the major delays with Labor Condition Applications (LCA's), the USCIS announced a temporary policy and procedural change regarding H1B petition filings. Effective November 5, 2009, H1B cases can be filed prior to the certification of the required Labor Condition Application (LCA). This change was necessitated by delays in LCA processing through the Department of Labor (DOL).
Here is how the new process will work. USCIS will begin to accept H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) petitions filed with uncertified LCAs for a 120-day period, commencing November 5, 2009 and through March 4, 2010. However, USCIS will only accept such H-1B petitions if they are filed at least 7 calendar days after the LCAs were filed with DOL and include evidence of these filings. The only acceptable evidence of filing is a copy of DOL�s email giving notice of receipt of the LCA.
Petitioners who seek to take advantage of this temporary flexibility in the normal filing procedures for H-1B petitions must wait until they receive a request for evidence (RFE) before they submit the DOL-certified LCA to USCIS in support of the H-1B petition. USCIS will give petitioners a period of 30 calendar days within which they must send in a DOL certified LCA in response to the RFE. We welcome this new procedure and hope that it will expedite current H1B processing.
Read the USCIS memo here (http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/New%20Structure/Press%20Releases/2009%20Press%20Releases/Nov%202009/Attachment%20to%20Temporary%20Acceptance%20of%20H-1B%20Petitions.pdf)

An H-1 petition filed by a new employer should have no direct impact on your AC-21 GC process. Because you are not currently in a valid non-immigrant status, you are not eligible for a change of status in the US. In any event, the petition would not be valid before 10/1/2010 assuming the employer is not cap exempt. So, you would have to travel out of the US to apply for the H-1 visa to be stamped in your passport. To be safe, you should make sure you have a valid AP with you before travelling just in case there is a problem ofr delay at the consul.

Hi
We had applied for an extension of my in-laws visa, and it got rejected. Is there any way we can appeal this decision?
Also, they are here a day past their I-94 expiration. Will their multiple entry visas be cancelled? They will leave within 30 days time past their I-94 expiration.
Many thanks

Guys,
I switched my job in first week of October this year and My new employer filed the H1B transfer petition on Sep 26 (USCIS Receipt date). It has been almost two months and USCIS online status still shows case received and pending, while California State Center processing dates shown Oct 15 which is 20 days after Sep 26.
Is there anyone who has expereineced the same and want to share?
I am bit concerned because my employer has started the GC process and will be ready to submit the PERM application in few weeks.
Thanks in advance.

If they already cashed your check for all the applications, you can call USCIS and ask what happened.
Can't you see the receipt # of her I-485 and your I-765 at the back of the check?

hi,
My wife's priority date is current now (Marriage took place before the acceptance of my GC). We have to options - applying for FTJ or I-485 as my wife is in USA currently on a visit visa.
Any suggestions if we can apply for I-485 from here, as that is our preference.

I have been noticing a lot of people moving changing jobs using EAD. Especially a lot of June and July 2007 filers.
The time to renew EAD is approaching and I am sure there is going to be a surge in EAD renewals.
There was also a recent communication from USCIS that one must not apply for renewal prior to 120 days of their EAD expiry date.
In past has anyone been in a situation where they are not able to renew EAD in time and how you handled it?
Do you plan to apply for EAD exactly in the 120 day range to make best use of time? What if EAD renewal gets severly backlogged?
I think this is something we must all concentrate on and try to get some answers from USCIS on this as it will help planning.

Hi,
My Company applied PERM in Sept'07 at Chicago. Till now company hasn't heard back yet and now employer is planning to file one more PERM appl. through different Lawyer. Can we file one more application without hearing/know the first case status?
Appreciate the reply.
Thx...
You cannot file a new PERM under the same position under the same company while the other one is still pending.
The DOL states an "average" processing time of 90 days, which may be extended based on whether or not an audit or multiple audits are issued. We are however noticing the average processing time is about 4 months or so.

You would need to take an updated affidavit of support and you latest tax returns if you have filed for any dependents and they have been called for the interview also. Would be useful for you to take the I-140 approval with you. All your original certificates, including birth and marriage, employment letter, W-2's, medicals if the ones that you submitted have expired, you need to follow the list of documents as per the interview letter. If your spouse has been called for the interview you would need to take joint documents and photographs to show that it is a bona fide marriage.

Its hard to say what is SAME OR SIMILAR. I am stuck up with the same issue. My GC was filed for the position of Software Engineer and I changed the job with same responsibilities but job title is Project Manager. My attorney is not comfortable with that even though the responsibiities are same in the new job.
Its better not take this AC21 path unless you are 100% sure that your new job is same as the old job.
Experts please advise.

I think the System.Windows.Forms is only for Windows Forms not Web Forms. You want something like
pnSummary.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Groove;
You can find more BorderStyle's here (http://www.w3schools.com/aspnet/prop_webcontrol_standard_borderstyle.asp)
I'm not sure about the panel web control having (or similar) location and autosize properties.
