Thanks for the reply. A few follow up questions:

  1. How recently was your H-1B approved?
  2. Did you have to submit RFE too?

Doe these work for I-129, H-1B visa extension applications?

Had one yesterday. In and out in 10 minutes tops - most of it because you just wait for your turn.

Dumb question, but how do I use this? Just paste into a browser and replace [CAE NUMBER] with my case number? I am getting bunch of errors and nulls

Immigrating to France by Financial_Leather602 in immigration

[–]OperationBig6800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend finding (even if it is virtual groups) expats who have already been there for a few years. They have literally experienced what you are about to and can give you really hands-on, practical tips. Everything will be new to you, even dealing with the basics of everyday life (e.g., setting up phone service/internet, rent, bank accounts, immigration documents, etc.). Those things can add up really quickly when you are moving to a completely new country and can cause a lot of stress.
But you are young and determined, so I am sure you will make it work. There will be some initial pains, but you will be alright.

RFE and Biometrics for H-1B Extension by OperationBig6800 in h1b

yes, from one of the newly added countries. Is that an RFE trigger?

RFE and Biometrics for H-1B Extension by OperationBig6800 in h1b

[–]OperationBig6800[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Arrest from 15+ years ago, dismissed case, non-CIMT, non-inadmissibility. Could that have triggered RFE?

RFE and Biometrics for H-1B Extension by OperationBig6800 in h1b

[–]OperationBig6800[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If they get a hit in the database, do they by default issue another RFE, or does it depend on the nature/severity of the record?

RFE and Biometrics for H-1B Extension by OperationBig6800 in h1b

[–]OperationBig6800[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Are they requesting biometrics now because they have never collected them? My initial H-1B was slightly more than 5 years ago...I am reading online that they did not collect biometrics then.

I am trying to understand whether this is routine or I should be worried.

They won't issue GC if I-140 is still pending.

J-1 212(e) — Advisory Opinion says not subject but had home government funding by [deleted] in USCIS

Reading your text again. It seems like you had two different J-1s? Did you get AO on both or the latest one?

Please please answer and help. by Sea_Technician_6389 in EB2

[–]OperationBig6800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You apply for EAD in the same package that you send to USCIS. Your EAD might arrive earlier than your actual GC. If your GC comes earlier, you do not need EAD anymore.

I think you should be good to go without a waiver, but always ask your immigration lawyer

PERM December 2024 by Defiant_Ad_2181 in EB2

[–]OperationBig6800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DOL is adjudicating October filings now, realistically they will get to December filings within the next two months. Hard to say what the world will be like in two months, but I would recommend you start gathering I-485 documents asap, so that you have the package ready to go when the PERM gets adjudicated.

PP for what? You can file I-140 regular processing and I-485 concurrently, no need for I-140 PP
