Topic: H1B transfer, is it ok to use FedEx delivery notice as proof of eligibility to start work

Hi,

Here is my case. I got new job and the attorney is filing H1B transfer for me. It is known that there is delay of sending out H1B receipt due to the huge amount of cases back log. So the attoney told us that even though it is the minimum request to have USCIS receipt of the H1B petition as proof for eligibility, we are going to use the FedEx delivery receipt if we are not able to get the USCIS receipt before the anticipated starting date.

Is this ok? Any suggestion?

Thank you.

Topic: Hard Copy of labor Approval

My attorney told me that "We must include this original ETA 9089 with the I-140 Immigrant Petition filing". I don't know if the hard copy is a must or not. Gurus please help.

by USCIS I assume you mean "U.S.Department of Homeland Security", which is the correct title for the fees of I-485, I-765, and I-131, please see the instructions of the forms. I think you can pay the above fees using your checks (remember lots of people do the 485/765/131 applications by themselves). But I-140 may be different.

1) I also signed the forms for 485, no other forms except some supporting documents such as photocopy of passport, etc.
for 140, my employer took care of that, I didn't sign anything except my manager signed an employment verification letter.'
2) I don't know, gm004 provided some helpful information (see above). I also heard people talked about e-file 140 but I know nothing about that.
3) That is why it is called "concurrent" -- when USCIS deals with you 485, your 140 should have been processed.
4) no idea about this. Gurus please help.

By the way, my attorney received the hard copy of my labor approval at the last minute, this almost killed me.

Thanks a lot, gm004. I really appreciate your help! I will talk to my attorney about this.

Thanks a lot, gm004, that is really helpful.
In brief, my understanding is that we have to submit the original labor certificate to concurrently file 140/485. If the original is not received within 15 days after the mailing date, a duplicate copy can be requested either by the petitioner or through USCIS, however, if we ask USCIS to assist, then we can only file 140 instead of concurrent 140/485. That is bad.

Guys,
Can we do a statistics on how long it taks to receive the hard copy?

My Perm case was certified on July 27 but my attorney (Cincinnati, Ohio) is still waiting for the hard copy. The attorney told me it usually takes 1 week to receive the hard copy. but in my case, two weeks has passed.
