Whether the IO at Port of Entry asked anything about your H1B Visa Stamp?
My H1B visa stamping application finally got approved after 2 months at the Mumbai consulate. But I travelled back on the AP a month back as my employer started getting impatient.
I have received an email from them asking to submit the passport for stamping as the administrative processing on the application is completed.
I am planning to write back to them that I no longer need a visa stamp for travel as I travelled back on the AP. Would this be a bad idea ?
Has anyone withdrawn their H1B visa stamping application before ?
Appreciate any information on this.

On another note - I see that people are getting denials on 485 - cases like yours, and then AC21 stuff .. I am trying to understand if there is a pattern to it.
Yes, we are seeing more denials and RFEs these days, but we are also seeing more signs of preadjudication at the same time which makes it hard to tell if the rate of denials/RFEs has gone up.
In Mar 2008 for example, we saw maybe 2 485 denials on the forums, which seemed like a small number, and in Mar 2009 if we see 10 485 denials, it will seem like a large number, but you have to remember that the number of applications being pre-adjudicated in March 2008 (according to NSC, TSC processing times) were probably far less than the ones being pre-adjudicated now (since the processing times have only now reached close to or past July 2007 and we have been seeing signs of pre-adjudication activity - soft LUDs, etc.).
So if 100 applications were being preadjudicated in Mar 2008, the % of denials was 2% and if 500 are being pre-adjudicated now, the % of denials is still 2%, it just seems higher because 10 guys posting about 485 denials in a month, seems more shocking than 2 guys a month.
Of course, these numbers are all based on the assumption that the # of applications filed in July 2007 far exceeded the # of applications that were "in process" until then, and that forum members are a good statistical sample, so in the end, it is still a guess.
Godspeed to all of us.

I had same experience with H1B 8 months back.I had to leave the country due to H1B Xtension denial and MTR denial.As my I140 got approved the day i landed, my employer got 3 years H1B approved and i came in with that again. Now again I140 getting "Intent to revoke". Track record of employer with USCIS is not good. That is why I am worried and looking for other options on worst case. Can you let me know about the 3 questions I asked above in my original question.
Due to repeated issues I am asking the about other options and questions.

Dear Members
I seek your expert advise on following situation as my lawayer is not much clear on the topic.
I am from India and filed through university my I-140 and I-485 Concurrently on August-22,2006 in EB-2 SCHEDULE A ( Categorey II) EXCEPTIONAL ABILITY which is still current for all countries including India.. I had not seen any activity on My I-140 yet and Now for EB-2 Premiumprocessing is available now.More over Schedule A is likely to retrogess some time in November,2006
In this regards I need your guidance on following points.
(1) Does the possible retrogession in November means they will retrogess from November-2006 onwards? or they may retrogess even before say March-2006 or any previous date.
(2) If they retrogess from say Nov-15 than does it means that since I applied on August-23, My I-485s ( me and my family) will continue to be processed?
(3) In the view of possible retrogession of Schedule A, do you think I should go for Premium processing or not? Does it will help in any way to avoid retrogession of I-485s
(4)Based on past experiences, Does the application for premium processing hurt in any way in terms of final decision ( not the speed but out come approval or denial)?
Your input will greatly help me in deciding about premium processing.
Thanks

antonio, arte verdade outro vez. obrigado.
jeff, you can shoot the scene in raw and "develop" several images at the exposure that you want (0, +1, -1, etc) in your raw converter. that way you can guarantee that they'll line up. PS also has a pin register feature that will snap the images into place as you create the layers. combine those two methods and it's really fast. i use that often for action shots where there is no opportunity for in camera bracketing. good luck. later, kevin

So u are saying if she uses her EAD/ AP then my H1b is no longer valid? BTW she got her h1b visa in the lottery earlier this year.
Spouse using EAD, has no affect on your H1.
My wife has H1B and she got EAD now. She plans to use her EAD soon, so H1 status gets automatically canned.

How come you got two red square thingies with just one post? :confused::eek::cool::D
The U.S. Department of State (DOS) Visa Bulletin for January 2008 contains more bad news for Indian nationals in the EB2 category. The cutoff date for EB2, India, retrogressed by two additional years, to January 1, 2000. Moreover, the prediction contained in the Visa Bulletin for EB2, India, is that the annual limit could be reached within the next few months. If this occurs, the category will become "unavailable" for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The explanation for this is simply that demand for visa numbers by the USCIS for EB2, India, adjustment-of-status cases far exceeds supply
EB3 cutoff dates either remained unchanged or moved slightly forward, depending upon country of chargeability. The January Visa Bulletin cutoff dates become effective on January 1, 2008. Until that time, the December 2007 Visa Bulletin cutoff dates remain valid.
thanks
ram

He can use AP to renter. USCIS would not have approved to give EAD if USCIS determined he was out of status in the first place.
NOT True.. they will give and come after you just to deny/revoke it.

Priority Date Current: Curse or Boon ?
I am EB3 India applicant with PD of August 2001 (own not substitution). Have I 140 approved since November 2005 but was only able to file I 485 in June 2007. With same employer for 10 yrs and on 9th yr of H1.
Earlier this year my PD was correct for 2 months but didnt hear anything from USCIS. My PD is current again this Nov and Dec and havent heard anything yet. Called USCIS customer svc and they said cant do anything as processing date is not current (Yes and they are going by Notice date and not Received date for service request). Lawyer says just stay cool and wait. So USCIS has no logic and no order and all we can do is wait for our stars to be aligned and case getting picked up in a sweep. Other than that being current is a curse rather than a boon because
You can not get 3 yr H1 extension if PD is current (only 1 yr).
You can not get 2 yrs EAD if PD is current.
So those dying for PD to be current think again. Its no use having PD current if USCIS is going to be so random and haphazard. It may turn out to be a curse.
They will take the file based on the received date. But once the file is opened then you get the priority. It appears that they already started working on July 2007 files. So you will get anytime soon.
You have waited for 9 years, just extend H1B one more time and you will never have to do that.
Good luck.

The government published pay that an LCA is evaluated against is usually lesser than the actual pay for that type of job in a region.
If your LCA was filed with a salary that is right on the number, you would be in trouble.
If there is wiggle room, you ought to be OK as long as the new salary is still more than the published LCA.
We are all used to getting raises and bonuses at the end of the year.
But these are very bad times; some cuts at this time are a harsh reality for businesses. But I think it is better for everyone in the company to take a small $ pay cut if it saves others within the company their job.
If your employer is only cutting your salary, that is a bad situation to be in. You should try and get out of there ASAP.
But if it is across the board, more than likely they will restore as soon as things get better.
