Hi folks. My wife is petitioning for my green card and we are kind of stuck on a few questions. Hope someone can help us with some or all of these queries we have.
I-130
1. Part C q#10 - I arrived in the US in 2004 on an F1 visa. Now, I'm on H1B status. I don't believe I have ever been given an alien registration number. Am I wrong?
2. Part C q#14 - Do I say I arrived as a student even though I am currently on H1-B? If so, I don't have that I-94 anymore. It was taken by the airline when I left to get my H1-B stamped. Also, I have travelled extensively for work ever since I started my job. Consequently, I have two I94's. This is because I recently renewed my passport and when I went to Canada for business, upon returning they gave me a new I-94 (the previous I-94 is still in my old passport). So, what do i say i arrived as? And which I-94 number should I provide? Also, the format of the I-94 number on the top of the card seems to be different from that on the application ie. xxx-xxxxxxxx???
3. Part C q#19 and 20 - I don't really have any relatives in my home country anymore. Do I still have to give an address? Also, I can't write my name in my native language either. What do i do?
4. Part C q#22 - The instructions for I-485 say that if I am filing concurrently then I should mail everything to their lockbox address in Chicago. So, do I enter Chicago, IL here? or my current city, state of residence?
I-485
1. Part 3 - Non Immigrant visa number? I don't see this particular number anywhere on my H1-B visa. Can anyone help me locate this??
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards
k.

I previously reported on changes to the H2B visa (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137785.html)program. This is a notice on the identification of foreign countries whose nationals are eligible to participate in the H-2A and the H-2B nonimmigrant worker programs. The notice becomes effective when it is published in the Federal Register on 1/18/11.
Under Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) may approve petitions for H-2A and H-2B nonimmigrant status only for nationals of countries that the Secretary of Homeland Security, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, has designated by notice published in the Federal Register. That notice must be renewed each year. This notice announces that the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State, is identifying 53 countries whose nationals are eligible to participate in the H-2A and H-2B programs for the coming year.
Nationals from the following countries are eligible to participate in the H-2A and H-2B nonimmigrant worker programs:

Hi there,
I am working for a small Indian consulting company with 60-70 employes. My H1b expires on Sep 30 2009 and initial extension for next 3 years was filed on a regular processing on May 13th and moved to premium processing on Jul 27th. I was working with an insurance client at the time it was filed and expedited thru premium processing. I also mentioned the client name and address at the time of filing extn.
Now I got below RFE asking for a supervisor name from the client (they also mentioned client's name in RFE)
1)The project name the beneficiary is assigned to
2)Whether there is a vendor through whom the beneficiary's services are provided;
3)The name of the vendor appilicable;
4)Whether the end client or the vendor supervises the beneficiary;
5)The name, title, contact information of the person who primarily supervises or will supervise the beneficiary at the worksite;
6)Whether the worksite has the ability to assign the beneficiary to a different employer.
The day I received RFE the contract between my company and end client came to surprise end(FATE!!).
Here are my Questions:
1) One of the major Indian software company is ready to give me offer and take me as their employee in US. Can I withdraw my petition thru my employer and ask Indian company to apply for a transfer before Sep 30th?
2) what will be the success rate of transfer after withdrawal? and consequences in my future GC processing ?
3) What if my employer withdraws petition and files new petition mentioning that I am working on in-house project. We have some work at in house too.
4) My employer also looking for other clients and hopefully I will get one soon. a) In this case Can I withdraw the petition and apply a new one with a new client information? b) or Respond the current RFE with new client details and explnation. (I heard that USCIS don't entertain this.)
5) what is the better option to get the extension approved out of above all? New suggestions also welcome
Thanks in advance.

I asked the same question yesterday at POE Boston.
He said I have to renew the AP before it expires. The Parole stamp is valid until an year from yesterday.

Thanks for replying, i have some more questions related to this
Lets say my current employer is A and next employer is B
1. Do employers normally revoke I140 when employee leaves ?
2. If my first PERM and I140 was under EB3 category, then can i switch to EB2 category with the next company ?
3. Suppose i leave A and Join B, and after 2-3 months i join another company C, in this case will C be able to port my I140 from A ?

I realize the miscommunication on my part so I apologize to my previous post that i didnt understand the reply.
I meant to ask if the primary applicant my spouse can take the extended leave on child care that is sanctioned by the employer .As a dependent I am aware that I can be without a job.
EB3 PD is Feb 2005
I 140 approved filed 02/2006
I485 07/2007
RFE for EVL April 2009 submitted

i think you needed two light sources for this, one coming in from the left to lessen or remove the shadows. Some more DOF? Yes and No depends on what you're after. Flwoers of this colour are so hard to photo IMHO. Reds and flowers always give me grief. I like this rendition of the colour.. Were you happy?
Yes, I'm happy with the shot in general. I don't like using flash, but didn't have a choice on this one. I was battling heavy clouds and a building wind. I think I'll go back and shoot it again if the blooms are still in decent shape and try a bit more DOF. I also wish I'd noticed that little leaf on the bottom left. I hate when you think you've studied the entire field of view and then miss one little thing.
Thanks to everyone for the feedback.
