Hi everyone,
I have a related question. I am a canadian citizen now and am still maintaining an H1b. My H1b stamp had expired in 2007 though.
I had applied for AP in january but its still pending at NSC.
Now I have to go to India for my brother's marriage.
My question to you all is-Since I am still on H1B (and If am not wrong, canadian citizens do not require H1B stamps)-- will it be ok if I travel without an AP.
Thanks
I am a Canadian Citizen and travelled to India in last week of Jan 2009 and came back thro Philadelphia airport, no issues on H1B, they gave me a new I 94 and let me in.

I have observed, based on stories from different people that NSC sends RFEs when one tries to upgrade a non-premium I-140 case to premium. Does NSC send RFEs for premium cases? Till now, I have only heard NO.
No matter how hard I try, my lawyer keeps insisting that my case should not be upgraded to premium, because if an RFE is served, it might delay the case even more (implying, more than how long a regular case takes).
The whole thing does not seem to make any sense. If an applicant files under premium processing, according to NSC, his/her application is more reliable (and honest?) than if some one who files it on non-premium basis?

Do we have to worry about expired I 94 if we are using EAD ?

i assume you're using cross-chargeability of your husband's country of birth.
if that is the case, swiss eb2 had current pd, so you should get your gc in 6-9months.EB-2, 485 and 140 submitted in June 2007 concurrently, RD and PD both are June 2007. I borrowed my husband's Swiss nationality. Now 140 approved, AP and EAD got, but NC is still pending.
Just curious: When will USCIS process my 485? According to my nationality or my husband's? If it's mine, god, I may have to wait for 4, 5 years because of the terrible VB backlog! Is it after 485, everyone no matter which nationality, the processing time should be the same. All the world line up together. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Search for "six-month rule", in "trave.state.gov"
If you tell me which country passport you hold, I could tell whether you are exempt from this 6-month-rule or not.
And yes, I mean official requirement for "entry".
How you think H1B documentation will act as a proof of "permanent residence" intention?
Thanks for your reply Morchu. I want to have some further clarification here:

What are you guys trying to figure out here? The unanswered Q's have been unanswered for a lot of years now and July VB fiasco resolve was just a lid on the unanswered Q's that were coming out into lime light. While USCIS is not perfect and is culpable for the mishap, our focus should be on getting some relief. There is not a lot any one of us is going to gain by finding the cuplable and reasons behind. We will simply not get any answers in the current situation and hoping that USCIS will provide some thing like a used visas ticker through out their fiscal year, because of the July VB fiasco is nothing but being too naive.
Congress Women Lofgren would not go on witch hunting DOS/USCIS officials after they have honored the original VB. The simple reason being (GC's) visa numbers, though capped per year, allow USCIS to accept more applications than the visa numbers available. There is no one to one match between the available GC numbers and applications. USCIS OB submits an annual report and will report the number of visas used by USCIS in the fiscal year. Hopefully, after all this hooplah, we should see 100% utilization of visa numbers.

I also got the same mail and I sent the letter to my company attorney who responded.
Please attach both the EB3 and EB2 I-140 approval notices, EVL from current employer which matches or similar to the one specified when you filed your EB2 labor. Also attach the latest paystubs.
EB3 Priority Date : Oct 2003
EB2 Priority Date: Mar 2006
I485 Filed - July 31,2007
2 EAD's
3 AP's
I 485 Approval Notice email - 26 Mar 2010
Thanks for responding to my query. Your case looks pretty much similar to mine but not sure if EB2 and EB3 were from same or different companies.
How long did USCIS take to adjudicate your case after responding to the RFE?
Thanks again!

The following comment made by other member looks inappropriate to me:
"Schwarzenegger cares for Kali-4-nia. He should support legal immigrants as a lot of this community lives there. Where? In Kali-4-nia."
I learned that it is not difficult to meet governor; he also have good reputation with Bush ( so things might change in our favor).

I know someone who went to Canada for the weekend and got the I-94 with the correct date on it.
Note that the airline (AA), on his way out of the US, was not willing to take his I-94 since he was going for less than 30 days. So he had to explain to them about his situation and they took it.
Also note that if you have an Indian passport, you will need a visa to go to Canada.
The other option to extend your I-94 is for your employer to refile I-129, and request for extension of stay. This can be done using premium processing.
I did the same thing . Except I returned my I94 while returning to US as the airlines did not take my I94. While returning I just explained my situation to immigration officer and she was knowlegable and issued a new I94.
