You can call UK consulate and ask them for this information. They have a paid phone service (~2 dollars per minute) available. If you do not mind me asking, why are you going through the pain of getting a transit visa?
they advice atleast 4-6 weeks even though avg processing time is 10 business days, you may email them its better than paying for same info

It auto-converts all H1Bs and EADs into Green Cards effective immediately. :)

I am trying to apply my AP (I-131) renewal. My current AP will expire on Oct 17 2009.
I had few questions about the form. Can someone please answer my queries?
Part 1
Q#3. Class of Admission: I used my AP to enter the country on Sep 7th 2009. I am currently working on EAD. What should I enter for this field?
Part 3
Q1. Date of Intended Departure: I do not have any trip planned right now. What should I enter for this question.
Q2. Expected Length of Trip: What should I enter for this question?
On Part 7 it says that
"On a separate sheet of paper explain how you qualify for an advance parole document, and what circumstances warrant issuance of advance parole."
Thanks

AC 21 doesnt restrict for future employment. Purpose of AC21 is for an employee not to stuck with an employer in case of delay in GC. In this case there is a substantial delay from USCIS and hence you can use AC21.

Hello..
I guess the apointment dates are not yet open for nov 06 .. I had the same issue with chennai consulate I was trying to book one in nov 06 .. all these days it said no appointments for nov .. they just opened them (nov dates) up today for chennai consulate .. so I picked one..
Delhi .. I am not sure wat dates are current .. if it shows JUne/July currently u may need have to check every now and then until nov dates open up
I have taken mine and my wifes appointment for the same day.. In the process of your application on VFS it asks wether u want to add another passport .. u need to provide the second HDFC recipt #
You have to have ur petition no.. (SRC #) ..

That's correct you cannot open a service request without a receipt, this was suggested to me because I was tracking my spouse's application and they accepted my receipt number. In a way it was a service request on my name.
You can do the following, use your I-140 receipt number. They only reason they need a receipt number is to track the person with the service request.
You can request that your I-485 was filed with the following I-140 XXX receipt number. This will start some kind of tracking on your I-485 application
for which no receipt has been issued in more that 45 days.
Don't read too much in IO's response, you will get different responses from each one of them.
I am sure you will get your receipts before July 30.
Thanks Canadian_Dream and mrcmic!
I just called NSC to put an service request. I was told no receipt #, no service request can be put in.
Further I was told, there was hold all application to be processed till 2days ago, hence they have started receipting again 2 days back. Hard to believe it. I said I am 11thJune filer, but the IO kept saying there was a hold till 2 days ago. According to IO, all applications will be receipted by30thJuly. But she repeatedly suggested to check the bank for encashed checks. She said 'no encashed checks, no receipt #'...
SO if no receipt #, then how do we file at service request ?? Is there a link to file an online service request?? (I couldn't find one)
Anybody else in the same boat?? Please let us know so that we can track each other's progress.
Thanks once again!

Hi Raj,
Thanks for your advice, it definitely helps.
I'm currently working with my lawyers on an appeal. If that works (fingers crossed) all well and good, but I'm also renewing my H1B immediately, to protect myself. This is not the time to be selling my house & committing financial suicide, as well as moving my family around.
My attorney also feels the EAD/AP might continue (under certain circumstances - he's not sure, but is checking) to remain valid until their expiry date. If so, I have until Oct 2010 on my EAD, but its still better to be safe with an H1B.
My I-140 denial is for a somewhat obscure reason - I used to be in the merchant navy, then worked in various management positions ashore until coming to the US in 2005. My professional certification was considered to be equivalent to a BSc degree by WES, but USCIS now want details of college attendance, etc. When I tried to explain in the RFE that it is only equivalent to a degree, and my job is based on 23 years of work experience at sea and in shipmanagement companies, plus a professional Master's license , they ignored those details. All very frustrating, but there is nothing I can do. Hopefully, someone more reasonable will read the appeal and set things right. My category remains unchanged at EB3.
I hope your own issues have all been solved by now.
All the best
NK

hi jazzbythebay,
i was in pretty much in the same state like you a couple of months ago. i quit the original employer who sponsored by gc, used AC21 and EAD to join a new employer, and then i had to travel to india within a week of joining the new company. I infact had quit the company since I had an offer with another big multinational and i went to india and came back using AP. no h1 stamping. in both the above situations, i have not informed uscis. so literally when i went out of US and came back, i was unemployed. luckily for me they did not ask me the question of "are you working for the same employer that sponsored ur gc"? this is in SFO airport. as long as u have a valid ap, you could get in, its just that you may get some questions. just be prepared for that. Just show them the documents only if they ask for it. but keep it in hand just for your satisfaction. To me, they dont know much abt ac21 etc (atleast not thoroughly), so we dont need to teach them anything. my only worry in your case is, that you have only 2 days before your expiry of AP. So, make sure you take the ap renewal receipt with you, that alone could just prove them that your renewal is in process. hope this helps..bon voyage...

I applied for my EAD in the last week of Nov 10. I got mine in the first week of Jan 11.
For the question of 'if she can leave while USCIS is processing her AP', I am not sure...
My PD is Jul 31, 2006 and I am going to add my wife to the application on June 1st. She is on H-4 right now.
How long does it take to get the AP and EAD? Can she leave the country without the AP.

Thanks for the advices. I was more worried about any negative issues on my current 485 if I block the payment on my second set of checks. I think USCIS also will be fined if the checks bounce. I called customer support and they told me that the money would not be refundable but you can withdraw your application by writing a letter.
If I do not block my checks my worry is that it might create duplicate cases.
Yes in my second set of application I did mention the reason why I am filing the second time
Hopefully their system will block the entry of my application

Hi all , Thanks for the responses. Actually Marriage certificate and medicals were in the packet, I forgot to list it here. After going through the instructions i see my employer sent the application to a wrong address.
Instructions say that for 140 related cases it should be sent to Nebraska or texas service center depending on where you live. Instead it has been sent to the Chicago lock box facility.
Now when i resubmit this package to the right place do I have to include a copy of the rejection notice(I 797 C)? also every page has a line printed on it sideways along the right edge. I am not sure if resubmission means sending the rejected packet as is or prepare the forms again and send the new ones.
In addition to checking the appropriate response in your I-485 form, you (wife)have to confirm that you are filing as a derivative of the husbands primary petition (Part 2, response should be "b" please make sure again! you may even use highlighter pen) you may include your husbands I-140 as well as Labor certification copies and highlight the Priority dates in these forms with brilliant colors.
Marriage Certificate is a must.
Also I would include the last years tax returns for your husband and the sealed medical clearance from your doctor, to make it rejection proof!
A cover letter as well as a "DO NOT OPEN IN MAIL ROOM" addressing the Service center director, and placing it over a double bagged packaging of the whole thing may also help.Somehow you have to convince the morons in the mail room that it is "RESUBMISSION DUE TO USCIS ERROR"
Wish you all the best!

I think I know what might have happened here. Check your I-140 petition. Check if on part 2, box "d" was checked. If yes then the officer went looking for an advanced degree (post baccalaureate) and could not find any documents and issued an RFE. It is usually customary for EB-2 to have Masters or show the job requires equivalent education / experience combo otherwise you will have to downgrade 140 to EB-3 (by checking the "e" box and amending I-140 by working with the officer, consult with your lawyer)
Hi add78,Yes,d was checked.I thought thats what needs to be checked for EB2.I do have a bachelors degree+ 5 years experience.

My labor cert priority date is Aug 21, 2006 and my 140 EB2 was filed in Dec 20, 2006 and I received the RFE last week from NSC.
I did complete the masters program but did not have the official certificate in hand. On my certificate and official transcripts - the date of graduation is the day the certificate was issued - which is Jan 2007 - which is the graduation date according to the verbage.
One of my friend got his degree certificate after 3 years but in his case he had to submit his final project (without which they would not consider the course complete)... in your case if you have completed all requirements then all you have to do is get an official letter from your school supporting your claim (that you completed all required courses in time), i think that should suffice...
Go with what your lawyer suggests
Good luck

Bill Gates testified in front of most of the important senators who wrote this bill. Even he could not make a difference. There is nothing in this bill he had asked for.
Not IV or Lobby group that IV has, can it really make a difference? There is as much as we can do and everything else becomes uncontrolable. Even IV core group are normal people like us but with connections more than us. But they have their own regular job to do as well.
So I guess we can only try calling the senators and hope they will change their mind and hope for the best. Expecting and/or trusting IV or Lobby group will really help would be sacrificial.
I am not questioning what IV does. The core group really does what is their in their hands and we should appreciate that.
Good Luck!

You can use extension tubes for all lenses on either Nikon or Canon cameras (obviously, on a Canon, they need to have Canon mount, and on a Nikon thye need to be Nikon mount).
Canon (and/or Nikon) may be using some special conversion signalling in the extension tube to inform the camera of the extension tubes existance. The teleconverters from Canon does this, whilst some other teleconverters of non-Canon brand do not. However, I think the extension tubes are much simpler animals, so they're probably just straight through connection of wires.
On Nikon, really old lenses are able to work with modern cameras, but some of the automatic functions aren't able to work (obvious things like the autofocus doesn't work on non-AF lenses, and you may not be able to use automatic aperture settings, which also may mean that the camera doesn't know the aperture and can't do automatic time selection either... How much functionality is lost depends on the age of the lens).
Canon on the other hand made a "big changeover", where they obsoleted the old mount and made a complete new, incompatible one when they introduced autofocus some 20 or so years ago.

I am also having the same problem. Our company won't share the labor application details with us. I know only job title. I am not even sure what job I should search for.
I hear that new job description should exactly match with what is there in labor. I am frustrated with my current company & I need to make a shift.
Can anyone help me to understand the risk in joining my client as direct employee?. I am working for this client for last 10 years. My H1 extension was done using the letter from this customer & my resume also details the experience with this client. Am I safe to join client using my EAD?
Thanks!
