I called USCIS to know the status of my I765 and I131 and came to know it got rejected because of sign missing on the form as i had filed my 485 with my EAD and AP i got my 485 receipt month back.
And USCIS said they have mailed my returned application on 13th aug but i have not received it yet.I called USCIS and they said that i can refile it again after 30days if i don't receive my package. Can i file on my own i do have the LIN number for rejected application.Can i file online
please suggest
I have no answer but sometimes it is good to have an attorney when filing first time, where we can depend on them for these situations.

Thanks andy,
One more question?
Can i get an extension in US or do have to go to canada for my extesion?
You will get the extension from the CIS here. You will only need to go to Canada if you want the visa stamped on your passport.

I have filed I-485 in Aug2007 and am in retrogression. I am currently working for my sponsoring employer on H1 but also have EAD and AP. I have to go to India to address parents health issues and may have to stay there for possibly 6-9 months. I plan on re-entering using AP.
1) Will my GC application stay active if I am gone for such a long time?
2) My fingerprinting was done long ago - do I need to be in US when my case is adjudicated and GC approval is sent in the mail?
3) Since I will lose my current job due to the long absence, will that be an issue at POA since I wont have a current job or a job offer letter to show the IO?

Great tip from AILA for our H1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) filers trying to beat the rush. Because you cannot submit an LCA earlier than six months prior to the beginning date of the period of intended employment (20 CFR � 655.730(b)), if you want your LCA in hand before April 1, then set your employment start date on the LCA for a date in September, and set the expiration date for a date no more than three years hence. File the I-129 with a start date of October 1, but with an expiration date that coincides with the expiration date of the LCA. You will lose a couple of days on the back end of the petition by doing this, but you will get the LCA filed and back before April 1.
Example:
LCA start date: 9/1/10
LCA end date: 8/31/13
Form I-129 start date: 10/1/10
Form I-129 end date: 8/31/13
Due to delays in receiving approved LCAs, take the proper precautions and file your LCA early to avoid any undue delays.
Although under certain circumstances USCIS has agreed to accept H-1B petitions for processing that include LCAs that have not been certified, attorneys should understand that if the LCA submitted with the H-1B petition is eventually denied, the H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) will be denied, even if a subsequent certified LCA is submitted. This is even true where the denial is due to DOL error in not being able to verify a petitioner's FEIN. However, USCIS has also indicated that if the sole reason for failing to apply for an Extension of Status or Change of Status is due to DOL delay in the certification process, USCIS may look at the totality of the circumstances in determining whether to accept the late filing.
Bottom line is that getting an approved LCA before April 1, 2010 is crucial. Pay attention to detail and get the files ready in advance is a must.

Guys,
Can someone please let me know whether it is possible / advisable to travel while H1 approval is pending?
She is currently in H4 with a valid stamp in her passport. She filed for her H1 and was selected in lottery. She has a receipt but her approval is pending.
We were interested in making a short trip to India before Oct 1. But the consulting firm advised against it as according to them if she re-enters in H4 (even before Oct 1) while her H1 approval is pending, her H1 application will be cancelled and she has to restart the process all over again. Something to do with the last status on re-entry.
My thoughts are: The change of status will be effective Oct 1, 2008, why would it matter if I travel prior to that date?
A lot of you may have experienced the same dilemma, so please let me know...
thanks.

I came to US in 2009 March (on H4 Visa) ,
I filed my H1B in September 2009 with Company A and got approved October 2009. I search for projects 2 months; my employer was unable to place me. So he said he will revoke the H1B petition. After that due to family emergency I gone back to India and while re-entering I entered as H4. (As per I-94 Copy). That H1B never got used and I never got any pay stub from Company A.
Now I am on H4 till date.
I have found the project and the new employer (who is client say Company B) is ready to file my H1B application. Now as per the Company B�s Legal Team, they can�t get the approval before 1st October 2011 (or start date of H1B visa) and they have to fill this position by this month End. (Which is May or Mid June)
Now I have inquired some other place and gone through different forums to get answer.
Here is the query,
If Company B files my H1B petition with attachment of existing I-797, will my petition get approved from the quota of 2009 (since I got visa with validity date as 1st Oct 2009 year)??
What kind of H1B petition I need to file and when it will get approved?
Will this be a fresh H1B petition or something different?
Can I get approval immediately ( if I filed in Premium processing) so I can start working. Or does the petition will say as start date 1st October 2011?
Please help me in this issue. I will really appreciate your help.
Any document/ link which shares light to similar issue is really helpful for me.

Folks please advise on using POJ method. I tried calling using the instructions below however I always get to customer service instead of NSC where I intend to connect. Am I missing something here ?
Call 1-800-375-5283
Press 1 to select English
Press 2 to skip introduction
Press 2
Press 6 to find case status information
Press 1
Now enter your receipt number SRCxxxxxxxxxx
Voice asks if SRC press 1
Then reads out application number, if correct, press 1 (now listen to the case update info..blah blah)
Part way through the blah blah press 3
Wait a moment and press 4
I am July 2 filer with Nov 2005 PD EB2-I. Even though I'm happy for others It is indeed frustrating to see my case languish like this. No updates at all. CSR just tells me to wait and wait forever. Opened an SR but nothing happened yet. Very very demoralizing....

I e-Filed the AP for my wife and myself over a month ago. We received the receipt notice for my application but did not receive it for my wife's application. The e-filing generated the receipt number starting with LINxxxxxxxx for both the applications that shows as valid application at the USCIS's online status tracker. Should I contact the USCIS's customer service and inquire about the receipt notice for my wife's application of just ignore it coz' its not a big deal as we already have the receipt numbers?
