I also had the LUD on my Oct. 2004 H1b case. Seems like they were doing something with 2004 h1b cases.

Do you mean RFE (request for Evidence) by 'Query on H-1 Transfer ' ? This happens all the time with any benefit application. You need to explain what that query is? If company C will respond to it by providing the evidence USCIS wants, things will take care of themselves.
Yes can still go ahead and transfer to D only if you are sure the query will be addressed by company C and the approval for H1-B transfer is 100% certain. Normally it may be a good idea to wait for the approval.

Raj,
Thanks. Can you please guide me in I-824? As an applicant, can I ask for duplicate of the notice?

I'm currently working for Company A on H1B Visa. My GC is sponsored through Company B as a future employee. I never worked for Company B which has sponsored for my GC. I have applied for I485 and I140 has been approved for more than 6 months.
Company A is going through lay offs and wont be able to apply for my GC. My 6 yr limit on H1B from Company A will expire next year.
Can i apply for H1B extension through Company A based on my I-140 from Company B.

Hello,
Is it possible to file I-140 without joining the employer? Can one join the employer after the PERM and I-140 are approved? Any risks in this case?
Thanks
To my knowledge, you can definitely get your I-140 filed without Joining the employer as i know of some folks who have done that. But incase you are in the country and file I-485 when you dates become current, you have to be with the employer who files your I-485

Here is an excerpt from the link below.. it sounds crazy
'Visa numbers can retrogress in the middle of a month and become unavailable without prior notice. If there is a mid-month retrogression, USCIS could elect to stop accepting adjustment applications. While this is unlikely to occur in July 2007, it becomes more and more possible as the fiscal year progresses. '
I hope this doesnt happen.

Is this just a reference to how dates are generally published in the middle of the month? Could Fragomen be simply saying that it is unlikely that the visa bulletin published in the middle of the month of July will have the dates retrogressed, but later mid-month bulletins (in Aug etc.) could bring news of retrogresssion?
Note that the first sentence of the paragraph from which 'averagedesi' has quoted says that 'Though the principal employment-based categories are current for July, future retrogression is possible ....' This seems to indicate that they will remain current throughout July, which is what we know/believe.

You can take $5k each in cash. And unlimited if it is Travellers checks.ON Travellers checks you are going to pay commission and crap. I do not personally recommend it. I do not know how it is working now adays. You can check on department of homeland or customs website to find exact amount that you can take as cash. And do not take more than what is recommended.

Here is my question. In my college days bacd in the early 90's and mid 90's, I used to work and worked with my original Social secuirty number. Another words, I was given pay checks. I paid taxes and got refunds as well. Obviouslly all illegal since I had no permission to work as I was on FI visa. Anyways, after graduating college, I got H1b visa. Now I am in my 9th year, and my labor and I140 have already been approved. So the question is, when I am called for my 485 interview, will they know that i worked illegally, will they have records of that. I also have a DWI. I think DWI is ok, as I have read many got their green cards after this. I am more concerned with my working illegally.
Just recentlly I was sued by Discover card. The judgement against me in teh court was for 10,000 +. I have paid half of it and will pay the rest in 6 months. Will that affect my Green Card.
Please eloborate.
Thanks!

Does that not indicate a problem that needs to be fixed instead of ignored as you have done Philip Wolgin?
Good job Philip Wolgin, completely ignored the Employment based category haven't you?
Lets just build the future of the country with school kids, uncles, aunties, refugees and farmers.
Who needs Intelligent and skilled workers anyway that can speak out against such stupidity.

I had filed for H1-B extension in December. I work for a TARP company. With the new restrictions on hiring H1-B workers in TARP firms, is this likely to affect my extension filing, especially since my employer had layoffs recently?

I just received a NOID for my 485(No LUD on the online status, received direct mail) saying that my underlying 140 is withdrawn and AC21 not filed. I have filed for AC21 last june (yes June 2009) along with my RFE (asking for G325a, Medical, Birth Certificate and 10th marksheet - this was during the Pre-adjudication time). My 140 was withdrawn by my employer as I had changed jobs under AC21 provisions(left employer in Jan 2009, filed AC21 in June 2009 and 140 withdrawn Dec 2009). Guess I will send the entire paper work again. I am EB3 India with Feb 2004 PD and I am no where near being current so I am trying to figure out if it is just me or is this the new scam that USCIS found to harass us!!!
PS: My friend who is from the same employer, similar case (Nov 2003, EB3 with AC21 filed) also got a NOID. He responded to it yesterday. Guys, post here if you also received the same.

Hi,
I'm on F1 visa and recently got married in US..I would like to have my lastname changed in my INDIAN passport.. I will apply for a new INDIAN passport through indian embassy in US..I realized that i will get a new passport with new last name...But my question is what happens to the F1 visa on the old passport and I-94, will they be still valid?...How does it work..what do i need to get them moved over to the new passport...
I know i will have to let my school know about the name change so that they can get me a new I-20 by updating the SEVIS...I've already done that and they are OK with it...
Appreciate your response..
Thanks
