If you are on H1 then the ticket should be provided for by your employer - that is my understanding of the law.

Here is my estimate on the timeframe:
Prepare job description etc. - 1 to 2 months (depends on company and attorney)
Prevailing Wages - 2 months (this is based on the current centralized processing)
Recruitment Process - 2 to 3 months (depends on company and attorney)
PERM Labor approval - 9 months (if it gets audited, it would take around 2 years)
I140 - 4 months (you can reduce it if you can file premium processing)
I485 - This depends on the EB category & VISA dates - if it is EB3 India, it would probably be 7-10 years or more
I am not trying to be pessimistic. This is based on what I have observed and read. I have been in this country for 10 years on H1B. I am currently waiting for my Prevailing Wages request to be processes (for my 3rd labor application). It is a long process, but as long as you are working for a good company that treats you well, you should be able to endure the pain.

PD is Nov 2004 (transferred from a previous EB2 filing).
RD is July 29, 2007
May be they want to approve your both I-140 and I-485, but I-485 may be missing something, so they issue an RFE. It may be the case that your I-140 can be approved. If it is as simple as Birth Certificate, then they may approve both your I-140 and I-1485 after you reply RFE.

This means if you filed 485 on July 2nd you should get a reject letter in the next 25 days unless they retrogress on this as well.
Where did you get "25" days from? Also, wouldn't it depend whether you sent it to NSC or TSC?
Thanks,
Jayant

Why do you think that will happen..
I am guessing that if you 140 is approved (which is company based), then you are good because 485 is based entirely on the applicant..
Guru's pease throw some light on this

I am in 6th year of my H1B. It is expiring in Aug 2011.
Here are some details:
- My I-140 is approved with a priority date of Aug 2006 under EB2-India.
- I did not apply for I-485 so I do not have a EAD.
- My wife is also on H1B which expires in Aug 2012.
Here are my questions:
1) If I apply for H1B extension in July 2011 under regular processing and assuming it takes 4-5 months for USCIS to process the application, can I still continue to work? For how many days can I work if visa renewal is still in processing after the visa has expired.
2) If I get a denial of H1B extension do I become out of status from the date of denial or from the day H1B got expired?
3) If I get a denial of H1B extension can I immediately apply for H4 as a dependent to my wife's visa without any issues?
4) If I get a denial of H1B extension, what happens to my I-140? Is it automatically invalid?
5) If I do convert to H4 status and my priority date becomes current can I apply for I-485?
Chances are very high that your priority date will be current before Aug 2011.
good luck

Would going to Canada and re-entering without going for visa stamping count as lawful entry??
Or one has to go and get the visa stamped to qualify as lawful entry??
Also when you go to Canada and come back Without VISA stamping, he gets the same I-94 or different I-94??
Thanks.

Hello i am running in to issues of how to get address changed. To give you guys previews. We were residing in Chicago till July ending. In August we moved to CT as my wife got a new job there. But since my work location is in IL , I requested my employer whether its possible to work remotely and its ok by law. He said u can change ur residential address and there is no need to amend LCa/H1b as there is no change in work location in my case. Fine for now.
I recently visited CT DMV and requested for CT state license. They denied to me saying that i need a CT employer letter or My employer should issue letter to DMV stating my work location changed. Neither of these are going to happen. For now i have my license and Plate from IL itself. I can still continue to maintain but renewing Plates and Pollution test are pain being in CT any ideas please ?

It is not a problem with EAD. I am on H1B. I have already received 2 temp. driving certificates. I am expecting one more temp. certificate before getting the original plastic card. The DMV officials told me that there are lot of immigrant people from India, China and Mexico. So the under-staffed dept requries more time to validate.

On October 2, 2009, The U.S. State Department launched the 2011 Diversity Visa Program. Between October 2 to November 30, 2009, applicants from countries around the world may register for a chance at winning one of the 55,000 immigrant visas that are drawn randomly from all eligible applicants. The State Department will notify all successful applicants between May - July 2010 of their selection. Applicants will then be able to start the visa application process in October 2010.
The State Department has announced (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/Diversity%20Visa.pdf)that during the first week of registration, they have received over 900,000 entries. This reflects a 63% increase in applications over the same period last year. [/URL]

Why is receipt date different on the I485/EAD.
I am reading some of the posts from other members.
Their receipt data on the EAD is different(at least 1, 2 months delayed) from the date USCIS actually received their application. I thought USCIS is going to honour the actual date when they received the application by mail.
It is obviously more than 2 months late for many of the applications.
If some one to use AC21 portability, what exact date is honoured? the date when USCIS received the application or the receive date printed on the EAD?
Is the date when USCIS received is stored some where?
In my case, I filed my I485 on July27 at TEXAS Service Center, I received a notice on Oct 6 from CALIFORNIA Service Center, Details below :
Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Receipt Date : Oct 1, 2007
Notice Date : Oct 2, 2007
Current Status: This case has been sent to another office for processing because it has jurisdiction over the case.
On October 2, 2007, we transferred this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS to our TEXAS SERVICE CENTER location for processing because they now have jurisdiction over the case. We sent you a notice of this transfer. Please follow any instructions on this notice. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you.....
Now, I am not sure, what exactly is my Received Date. And how it went to California Center? I have confirmation from FEDEX tracking that it is delivered to Texas Center.

As of right now, retailers have no knowledge of this happening. Does not mean it's true or false, just the fact is retailers are not aware. As of the time of this posting.
