You can only apply for extension 6 months before exipry.. so the earliest you can do is Mar 30th. Right now, USCIS is very keen on consulting cases, and RFE for client details is pretty much the norm. I got a similar RFE for which I responded, and nothing happened for more than a month. So I applied for premium processing, and they sent another RFE again. I am still waiting on the RFE, but I think it could be because my initial contract agreement (that my company probably sent in the response for RFE) had an end date of 2/28. It is now extended till June, but that is how my client works...
My advice,
1. try not to accept to be on bench... ask your employer to pay while on bench.
2. Apply for h1 extension well before your contract ends or do premium processing if the contract ends in less than 3 months.
3. Be prepared for an RFE. Make sure you can get client letters and such
hope you won't get into what I am experiencing for the last 11 months :(

experts,
are there any chances of any nurse or schedule A relief bill this year or even in 2010?.......is it going to be an eternal wait for us?.....will there ever be any bill/law to give us any separate gc numbers even though the shortage continues to grow??

Anyone knows the background of this recapture? This is the first time I know congress had a law for it in 2000
Solution
The immediate solution is full accountability of all pending applicants for employment based immigrant visas both at USCIS and DOS. Without accurate data, it is difficult to hold the agencies accountable for their actions or inactions.
Another solution is to �recapture� lost visas. Between 1994 and 2006, USCIS underutilized the visa numbers by approving less than the 140,000 employment based applications each year even though USCIS had more than enough applications pending. Due to the statutory calculation method (explained more fully by USCIS and DOS on their websites), USCIS�s failure to timely process a sufficient number of applications resulted in the loss of approximately 349,000 visa numbers that could not be used in future years since the law prevents usage in future years. In 2000, Congress authorized the use of 130,000 these �lost� visa numbers by what has come to be known as the �visa recapture� method. However, approximately 219,000 numbers have not been �recaptured�. The current worldwide pending cases in all employment based categories is approximately 340,000 applicants. A one‐time recapture of the 219,000 unused visa numbers could go a long way to eliminating this backlog and bringing much needed relief to many applicants who currently face the prospect of becoming residents of the United States after they retire.

Hi
My PD is Dec 2004 EB2 for a future jon offer. I won't be able to start the job until July 2008 as I am still completing my fellowship. I have read somewhere in the past that I can file I485 for this future job as the dates have now become current. Can anyone confirm this and any idea what is the general recommendation for the duration that I have to stay with this employer once I start the job.
Minimum 6 month is considered a safe period.

It wouldn't hurt your GC process or your status even if your employer revokes your approved I-140. If you are so worried then check this info from USCIS - http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/I140_AC21_8403.pdf
This will answer all your questions and take worries away.

I need help on my I485 pending case:
When I was a PHD student I filled NIW (national interest waiver) and got my I-140 approval (priority date is 6/22/2006). Now I am working for a Telecommunication company.
My NIW I-140 form stated my job is:
SOC Code: 17-2112
Nontechnical description of job: Operations research and logistics with optimization and numerical analysis.
In my NIW cover letter, I stated my contribution in airline industry with the operations research and optimization knowledge. My current work is still related to the operations research and logistics but my contribution is different now. Does that mean I am not in the same research/work field? Some attorney said my I-485 will most probably be denied because I am not benefit to airline industry now. Is this true?
What is the definition of the same/similar field? I thought I should be safe as long as I continue to work on OR and logistics related work, even if my work on different project or for different companies.
When USCIS process I-485, they will look at the job description on I-140 form or the contribution in cover letter?
An attorney suggested me to apply a PERM as a backup to keep the existing priority date (6/22/06), in case my NIW-based 485 case has any issue.
What's the percentage of chance that you think my 485 can be denied due to the working field issue? I originally thought it's very small (less than 5%), and I just need to wait for the Visa availability. Is it correct?
My husband's H1 visa is about to reach the 6 year limit in March 2011, and he was thinking to use EAD from my 485 case until we get green card. Is this a good plan, or he need to apply a PERM as a backup too? Is it too late? What would be a good plan?

Hi,
My Perm LC is applied in DEC 2007, GOT AUDIT RFE last week.
I am really worried about RFE. My Employer advised me we need reply them quickly in 1 week so that they feel we are serious.
Mine is BE+5years, applied under EB2 CATEGORY. I have 9+years of experience.
My employer advised me create a document which explains the Job Duties and responsibilites etc project by project.
and documnets including resume, experience letters, etc.
Can any body explain me what exactly uscis is expecting from me , what kind documents/avidence they are expecting in RFE ?
RFE Reason says:
Please provide documents such as position descriptions, the percentage of time spent on the various duties, organizational charts, and payroll records demonstarting that the qualifying experience gained by the alien while working for the employer, including as a contract employee, was ina position not substantially, i.e., not requiring performance of the same job duties more than 50 percent of the time to the position for which certification is being sought, and/or documents demonstarting that it is no longer feasible to train a worker to qualify for the position.
Thanks & Regards,
jvsap

Mine is at Nebraska
My I-140 is also pending in Nebraska, I am also in EB-3 category with labor PD 02/20/2007. Your labor PD is 03/2007 and hence it is surprising! I saw an approval for one EB-3 filed in April 2007 in but his PD is 2002.
I do not see any LUD these days in my pending I-140 and I-485. There was a soft LUD in my wife's I-765 (EAD already approved and received) about a month back.
Please keep us updated.

Got an RFE request on a I485 that I think is a huge problem.
I spent a year in the USA in 97-98 on J1 student exchange Visa.
I went back to Russia, and finished the last year of high school there.
Then in '99 I came back to the USA on an F1 visa, did a four year college. After that I have been continuously employed on H1b, filed for green card in 2007.
RFE is requesting information about Section 212 of Immigration and Nationality Act.
How big of a trouble am I in?

As we all know that getting a GC in US is next to impossible with dates getting retrogressed to Jan 1 2000 and no sign or indication of it getting better in near future I'm strongly thinking to apply through AINP program for Canada immigration.
I truly believe that the comments and suggestions posted on this forum are very genuine, latest and by expert and experienced people. Believing this I am expecting all pros/cons of going ahead with Canada immigration.
If anyone had done this then please share ur exp and thoughts. The asking fees by the Attorneys is too high and that doesn't includes Canadian Govt. fees. So please suggest on this.
