Apologies if I should have looked this up somewhere within IV .
Guess it is a simple question.
What does a soft LUD mean ? I have often read that term on the forum.
I at times see that something was updated on my case..."last updated date" but then there is no status update.....for example this happened on my I131 application on Feb 4, 2009
On the I485 I think it is just that they transferred it from one office to another as the status says.

Since when has more money than the prevailing wage been a problem?
If they pay you via a check to the company you own, then they will be paying for services rendered. They will not be paying employment taxes(SS+Medicare) on that check amount. You will end up paying Self employment taxes amounting to 15.2% on this amount instead of the 7.6% had it been part of your W2.
As far as the impact to the GC process. I dont think the excess amount should be a problem, but pls confirm with an imm.attorney
Cooler, thanks for the response.

Hi all,
I am currently working on an L1 visa. Have been in the US for 1.5 years.
A few weeks ago I wanted to change my job. Now I have an offer and the new employer is trying to sort out the visa.
Unfortunately, the H1B visas are gone for this year, and the employer can't wait until October to get me working in their team, so waiting for the new H1 visas is not an option.
After checking with their immigration attorneys, they now say the only option I have is to request an 'O' visa (they will support me).
'O' visas are available for top sportsmen, actors or scientists. The attorneys say I have a good-enough resume to apply for one (masters degree, published some articles and experience in top companies) but I still think the opportunities are not many, since I think my resume is really good but not outstanding enough for this type of visa.
My question is, how careful do I have to be when letting the company attorney to apply for a 'O' on my behalf? And specially, if the visa is denied is that going to impact my current L1 visa? I don't wanna end up with no visa at all! And also, is that going to be a 'bad record' next time I apply for a visa (probably H1)?
What about the positive case? Can I have the 'O' visa during the 2 weeks I will still work in my current company under an L1 (I have to give my company 2 weeks notice before leaving) before moving jobs?
I can't stop thinking the attorneys want the best for the company, that doesn't mean they want the best for me, so I am worried about the possibility they are applying for the visa on my behalf but not minding possible bad consequences for me if the visa is refused.
Thanks so much for your help.

Isn't it strange that even though Eb3-I PD Mar 04 is not current, they opened the file and sent RFE?
My PD is Mar 2005/EB3 and I was sent an RFE in Jul 2009 since my Birth certificate has initials and not the full name.
I read somewhere, because of the backlog, they do review the cases and in some cases even "approve" them. Once the visa number is available, GC will be issued for these cases.

I would like to get your opinion on current situation.
Education: MS(Ind Engg), 5+ yrs exp.
I have priority date of Oct -2007(applied for labor under EB3). Got approved I-140 in Feb 2008( EB3 category). I got promoted to next level so requested to apply for labor once again in EB2 category in Feb 2009 and got approved labor in Feb 2010.
Is there a provision to amend labor and include previously approved I-140? Or Do I have to apply I-140 once again? and my priority date would be Feb 2009?

I have my H1 filed in 2008. Due to the market situation, I didn't go for H1 stamping and was never active on H1 so far. I entered US in March 2009 on H4. Now I got a project and want to go for the H4->H1 COS.
I would like to know the steps/process for H4 -> H1 COS.
I know my employer is the best person to answer this. But, the problem is whenever I ask any details, he always tries to abstract the info.
If there are sequence of steps, after which step one is authorized to work? I tried getting the info online, but couldn't . If any of you can give me a pointer or explain the process in detail, it would be very great and helpful.
My employer has applied for LCA. He says that he would initiate the COS process as soon as he gets the LCA. And my employer says that I can start working as soon as he files for COS and no need to wait for the approval. I want to make sure that I don't run into any legal issues. Once the employer has initiated the COS process, is there a way one can track the status and also to verify the status after the completion of the process.
Also, please let me know how much it would cost for normal and premium processing and also the time lines for the normal and premium processing.
Sorry for too many questions. But, please please do help!!!
Thanks a ton in advance!!

My I-485 is pending and priority date is OCT 2006. We have EAD which expires in DEC 2010. I also have H1B visa which expires on JUN 2010 (After 3 years of extension after I-140 approval.) My question is:
1. Is it worth having H1B visa extended just in-case? Will extending H1B visa cause any problems with pending I-485?
I appriciate yr help.
Thanks
Jig.

Hi guys,
My LCA got denied today (reason unknown) and my H1-B has expired on Nov. 1 as well. :(
I also have a pending I-485 petition with approved I-140. I also have a valid EAD. So I assume, I am currently shifted to AOS pending status working on EAD.
My question is whether this denial negatively affects my pending I-485 application? I assume not but just wanted to confirm anyways :confused:
Thanks for you responses.
Your H1B LCA denial will not have negative impacts on your GC. To keep the records clean, fill out a new I-9 form and submit to HR.

As per Spet 2009 visa bulletin, my PD will be current . I recently moved to LA due to Job change . If i do AC 21, do you think i will miss a oppurtunity of getting GC in spet since my PD is OCT 2004.
Please advise. Should i do AC21 now ? Or Should i do only on RFE?
Another question. I still have permanent address in chicago but moved to LA. Do i need to do AC11 form?
Nik
I would advise not to file anything at this point (in your situation). Hang tight and wait.
Good Luck.

Hi,
Previously worked in a Supply integration company A, and EB3 job desc shows role as a consultant "responsible for ERP implementaiton with some programming experience".
In that role later, Lets say I've performed Network and Systems Administration ALSO.
So I have a mix of all skills at the end of 10 years in the company.
Now if I get an opportunity from a company B that needs experience in Network Administration and some pre-sales (internal to the company),
1. Will I qualify to do the job and be under "same or similar category" to be AC21 compliant.
2. Can Company B file an EB2 and use porting of date.
Please advise

Hi,
My wife's AP is expiring in mid of October 2010. I am going to apply for her new AP before she travels to India in the 3rd week of July. Is there any issue if she comes back with the new AP? As the renewed AP will be received while she is in India. She will leave with her existing AP and enter back (lets say in Nov 2010) with newly renewed AP.
Please guide.

I am in a complicated situation...
Approved labor (PD 2003 EB2) from company A (not employed with them). Filed 140 and 485 (self as primary and wife as dependent). Ability to pay RFE on 140 and then denial on 140 and 485. Currently, appealed the decision because needed to get H1 extension and case has reopened. My wife (with company B) had her 140 approved (EB3 with PD 2006) and so after the July bulletin filed for 485 (her as primary and me as dependent) because my case seeemed a little dicy.
So we both have multiple 485's filed (although the first one since the decision is not final on 140 technically they might not have started considering the 485). Read multiple places that legally you can have only one 485 approved but could have multiple 485 pending and withdraw the other once anyone has been approved. Is this true? or you CANNOT even have two 485 pending?What is the best thing for me do do right now?
I have one question that whether you can file 2 I-485 or not?
