    I think something is missing here. How did they find out ?? Did they take you in for secondary inspection?? taxes?? If your university allows online classes, you might be able to finish your courses online and complete the required coursework(i.e. ofcourse if you dont need to finish thesis or defend project work) the university should be able to confer you a degree.... might be worth chatting with the international office.

    Per Charles Oppenheim, Chief of Immigrant Visa Control and Reporting Division at the U.S. Department of State (DOS) the visa numbers for EB2 and EB3 - India & China to Stay at Current Levels in year 2007.
    (Post from http://www.murthy.com/bulletin.html )

    Employment-Based Second Preference / EB2

    The employment-based second preference (EB2) category is expected to remain at its current cutoff dates for nationals of India and China. These dates have been stagnant at April 22, 2005 for China and January 8, 2003 for India for a few months.

    Employment-Based Third Preference / EB3

    No forward movement is expected for the employment-based third preference (EB3) category. In fact, as predicted in the March Visa Bulletin and confirmed by Mr. Oppenheim, there is a strong possibility that the EB3 numbers that are not in the "worldwide" chargeability will further retrogress, or move backward. This is expected to occur in the summer of 2007. This backward movement is based upon excessive demand for the limited supply of visa numbers. This will adversely affect nationals of India and China.

    This means it is much more important and essential to get Congress to allot more numbers for Legal Immigration or lease we will be struck with this in GC black hole for years to come.

    Guys wake up and start talking to Senators, Congressmen. Get your employers to send letters to Congress. Help IV by contributing and increasings IV membership, spread the word among you foreign friends , students.

    When applying for H1B did u also apply for change of status? if you did you can start work on H1B from october onwards. If not you have to get out of the country and get it stamped.

    I came to USA on L1A through company A in February,2008 and working on L1 A till date.My I-94 is valid till feb,2011.

    I filed H1B through company B in April,2007 in India and got approved petition in August,2007. That approved petiton is with my company B in USA.I have not gone for H1 B stamping.

    Now I want to switch to H1 B in USA.I was told by my friends that,I can work on H1 B with my approved H1 petition.and I need not to go for H1B stamping.
    I need to get visa stamped only if I goto India and to come back USA.

    Can I work directly on my H1B petition with out stamping visa?

    Incase, stamping is required, Shall I go to canada/Mexico for H1 B visa stamping.

    Can I come back to USA with my L1 visa from canada/Mexico incase H1 b visa not issued? or shall I need to go back to India from Canada/mexico it self?

    My EB-3 priority date is 10/17/2004 Non-PERM. My I-140 was filed in May 2007 and is approved in Aug 2008. Meanwhile I also filed for I-485 for me and my spouse (thanks to DOS Visagate June 2007 event)

    I am also on H1B 6th year. Looking at the delay in the EB3 I am contemplating if there is any risk in filing for EB-2. Since I came into US in 2003, I moved up in the company ranks few times and am in managerial position. Am I eligible for interfiling my GC case to EB2 without losing original priority date.

    Is it mandatory that I should be eligible for EB2 criteria (like 5 years experience or Post Grad Degree) as on original Priority Date for interfiling to work.

    Any advice is appreciated. I will initiate it in our company. Also any potential risks and RFEs I should expect?

    Thanks

    If you worked in CA you need to file the same state. You dont have to file the tax for the state where your employer resides.

    Not always true, if the employer withholds tax (OP's case) for a certain state, you HAVE to file returns for that state. Even if the withholding was done in error. The only way around this is to get an amended W-2 from the employer without the withholding. I speak from experience.

    An easy way to figure this out is as follows

    1. You have to file state tax returns in the state of your residence.

    2. You have to file state tax returns in state of employment (where your employer is) IF
    the employer withheld taxes (for that state) from your paycheck. Technically, they
    shouldn't but if they do, for whatever reason, the only way you wouldn't have to file
    returns is if they amend the W-2 and give you a new one without the tax withheld.

    3. You have to file state tax returns in the state where you perform work on your
    employer's behalf (this applies mostly to consulting scenarios where an employee is
    deployed on assignments across the country and the only time you don't have to file
    taxes in the third situation is when the work performed was for a short period of time
    (less than a certain number of months, I am not sure exactly how many, but I think it is
    9 or 10 months).


    In many cases the state of residence, employment, etc. are all the same, in some cases they are not.

    One of the exceptions is states which don't have state income tax, e.g. Texas.

    Of course, having to file returns in so many states doesn't mean you pay tax to each state, usually, the total state tax you end up paying is equal to the state with the highest tax rate.

    e.g. if you lived in NJ, employer was in NY, and you drove to a client site in PA for all of 2008, you would file returns in NJ and PA, and if the tax rate in NJ was 6% and PA was 6.1%, you would pay 6.1%, the higher of the two. Of course, if your employer accidentally withheld taxes for NY, then you would have to file for NY, and if NY doesn't agree to give you your withheld money back, then the only way to get it back would be to have your employer give you an amended W-2.

    That being said, the OP should be okay since he has now filed CA taxes for 2005 and 2006. There will be a small amount of money owed to CA-Dept. of Revenue as penalty, but that should have been calculated during filing, by whoever did the OP's taxes. If the penalty wasn't paid, the OP can expect a 'bill' from CA-DOR asking for that money.

    OP, If I were you, I would look into one more thing. If you were on H-1B when you were in CA, did your employer amend the H-1B LCA to state that CA was the work location? Seeing that taxes were withheld for NJ, they might have not amended the LCA. Speak to your employer and see if that could cause any problems or if there is a way to fix that.

    Good luck,

    I have H1 visa and my company started processing my GG. They published some ads, and in August applied for the LC. It turned out that they used EB3. They said that LC would be ready by February next year. Then it will take 4 years minimum for other steps. I was very surprised that I was EB3 but not EB2.

    I have couple of questions:

    1. How long does it take if to process it using EB3... 4 years, 5 years?

    2. How long does it take if to process it using EB2? I am from Russia.

    3. Is it possible to switch to EB2 somehow?

    4. If I apply one more time now using Eb2, would it be faster? I will lose time for LC processing.

    5. At what step of GC processing can I change a compamy that I work for?

    Thank you
    Michael

    It's all depends on how you maintain the relationship with your company. Offcourse they are into business and they will make sure if they are making money on you as well.

    I would agree not to continue this topic here.

    I think NSC does process cases even though they are not within the priority date. This way they can pre-adjudicate cases. By doing this they can quickly issue GC when the date moves ahead.

    During processing if they have any questions, they could issue a RFE.

    Hi Guys:

    One of the forum member AbhijitP has a signature that I could not understand. Can anyone give me a little bit more info on his signature.

    "I-140: EB-2, approved as EB-3: pending resolution
    Successor in Interest I-140: Pending"

    Does it mean that his I-140 is approved under EB-2 or EB-3?

    So if someone has applied under EB-2, how come it is approved as EB-3

    Thanks

    Thanks for your answers. I will consult a lawyer but I have to find one in the first place as I did a self filing.

    My PD is current as my I-140 was filed under EB1. My I-485 was received at NSC on July 30, 2007.

    Any other suggestions are most welcome.

    This is all India specific and specific to EB2. I did not add years2006 and 2007 as my PD is in 2005. But I did do it upto dec 2005.

    1. You can expect the spill over from EB1 in big way
    2. You can expect spillover from EB2 ROW in a big way

    This should help clear backlog atleast upto 2004 cases. However the interfiling from EB3 to EB2 could stop the backlog from being reduced.
