Talk to your company Liar (lawyer) first. My non-legal advise is
1. Ask lawyer to request more time for the RFE
2. If thats not possible - send what you can. eg W2 , paystubs etc etc. Try to get the client letter from your employer. If you get it in next 10 days, additional evidence is always welcome by USCIS I guess.
You cannot threaten your employer for something like this. Talk to them & resolve this with the help of your manager.....You have 1 last day ie Monday before last Fedex dropoff time.....reset your stopwatch.......maybe make a movie out of it and post it on youtube:)

I think QA jobs are relaxing. I don't know about SAP job. And there are only few engineer QA in my company. All other are just with some other bachelor degree. I think company has very hard time finding expert QA and they hire anybody for that job and pay decent salary.

Hey thx a lot guys for all your help....
To (M306M),
The priority date for Family Based First Preference is 15 Mar 2002, and my grandfather who is a citizen filed for my mom's Greencard in April 27 2002.
Hope this helps....
Family Based (FB) quota works differently from Employment-based (EB) for green cards. This forum is geared towards EB so you may not get a lot of help here...
As far as extending her H1B goes, if there have been no other Employment-Based GC applications filed on her behalf, I dont think of any way that will allow you to extend her H1B short of time outside the country recapture (as suggested above)
Look at all the days she has been out of the US in the last 6 years and that might give you enough time to come up with options and file an extension ASAP.
Also, if willing to take a chance, she can use the 180 day rule to stay out of status, however I would strongly recommend against that since the consequences might affect any current or future GC petition..

The reason for denying visitor's visa depends from person to person. If a person is young then they have a lot more burden of proving that they will return back to their homeland than say parents of someone whose son / daughter is here.
Also when you give the affidavit of support, the consular office will calculate how much you make yearly and see how many you are sponsoring and how many dependents you have in US. If, in consular officer's opinion the total income declared under Affidavit of Support is less that what he thinks is needed for supporting so many people, visa might be rejected on the basis that visa applicants might become public charge.
Now sometimes even parents of someone here get denied. Again that depends on how they can prove their ties to home country. If all the children are in US and parents apply, a consular officer might say, you have no interest to return back to your home country as all your children are in US.
And then there is luck. No one can tell what mood the consular officer is in that day. I was lucky that my parents and my wife's parents both got their visas recently. My only advise is make sure you have all the documents ready, cover all your bases and have a mock interview with visa applicants and see how they reply to your questions. I know from personal experience that it helps.

Background:
No AC-21 same Company 1 since beginning of labor & No Address change (6 years)
No Notice of Intent to Deny; Straight denial notice in around 8 business days
EB2; Priority Date: Mar 14 2005
LC: Approved Mar 2007
I-140 Approved May 2007
1-485 Applied Aug 2007
First RFE: Only G325
Second RFE: 4 Items
1. Signature issue in Medical forms - redid the forms
2. Criminal records - got a certificate of "No Records" from the courts in the cities I lived in the US
3. Travel dates since the first arrival at USA - furnished all of them
4. Document evidence that USCIS authorized the work between Aug 2002 and Sep 2002
What happened in that time?
Was with Company 2 on L1-B
L1-B was about to expire by Aug 29, 2001;
Applied for L1-B extension on Aug 3, 2001;
RFE on L1-B extension on Feb 23 2002;
Response submitted for RFE on Mar 3 2002;
NO RESPONSE TILL SEPTEMBER 2002
Apply for H1-B with Company 3 on August 20, 2002;
ATTACHED A COPY OF THE ONLINE CASE STATUS INDICATING THAT BCIS IS STILL WORKING ON THE CASE AND REQUESTED AOS FROM L1-B TO H1-B
Sep 2002 - H1B Approved; Was asked to go back to home country to obtain AOS;
Obtained H1-B visa and travelled back June 2003;
Transferred my H1-B to my current employer (Company 1) and applied for labor certification with my current employer by Mar 25 2005;
FURNISHED THE COPY OF THE H1-B PETITION in my response.
Denial Notice was sent out today (have not received it yet).
Is it possible that USCIS finds me ineligible for AOS based on:
Normal Eligibility Standards of AOS under Section 245(a)
Alien must be �eligible� for immigration; and
Ineligible classes
Alien was employed in the United States without USCIS authorization prior to filing AOS application;
If so:
1. Will I be able to do a MTR or an appeal?
Or
2. Is a lawsuit the only way to go since I will not be allowed to appeal?
How much time do I have and in general - experts who have dealt with situations like this before, REQUEST YOU TO PROVIDE ADVISE ASAP.
P.S: I do have a lawyer and I am talking to my lawyer for legal advice. The reason I am here is I am not getting all the answers from my lawyer and yes I am looking for another good lawyer. I am also talking to a re-location company and getting quotes to travel back to my home to be prepared for a worst case scenario.

Folks,
I would like to share my success story of getting my I-485 application approved with a revoked/withdrawn I-140. We received our Green Cards and Welcome Letters in the mail yesterday. If you go through my profile, you should be able to get most of the information, but here it is anyway:
1] Company A applied for my LC followed by the I-140 application. We never got a chance to file I-485.
2] After I quite company A, they withdrew my I-140 application.
3] Company B started the process again with my labor application, followed by my new I-140 application. We didn't capture the older PD at this stage, but the A# was the same as the old one.
4] When we sent in our I-485 application, we included a letter describing that we would like to retain the older PD (we sent them a snippet of page 27 of the Field Adjudicator's Manual - Yates memo). In the interest of being transparent, we mentioned that the earlier I-140 was withdrawn by the previous employer. After an unrelated RFE, our case was finally approved last Friday (03/18).
I am sharing this information so that others who are stuck in a similar situation can use this as a datapoint in their struggle against the USCIS. I wish you all the very best in your Green Card journey.

The Immigration Nationality Act does not say specifically that h4 time is added towards h1 time. It is the way laws interpreted by uscis that states h4 time counted towards H1. USCIS can change their interpretation by merely issuing a memo.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=454&page=3
see this thread.
Maybe it is a good idea to contact the Ombudsman about this issue.
I'm not a lawyer, but my assumption would be that this is cannot be changed by an USCIS memo. Why? Because H4 is simply a derivative status which means that it obeys all the rules pertinent to the primary beneficiary's status plus additional restrictions imposed to the particular classification by law. H status is restricted to 6 year continuous presence in the US.
It would be helpful to find the definition of a derivative status; INA does not provide such definition, but I'm sure they wouldn't be using these words loosely without a proper definition.
So my guess would be is that the answer to the question of "decoupling" H4 and H1b time will boil down to the answer to another question: what really defines a derivative status.

55 lakhs is too high for a person who has only 6 years of US experience.
Not really .... My brother worked in India for 3 years and worked here in US for 5 years before moving back to India and he is earning good too.
Salary for any job depends on lot of factors. How one negotiates is a key factor.

Did you see any LUD prior to this email?
No LUDs. Just got our approvals on the 14th around 5:30 PM. I did have a pretty benign RFE for EVL to which we replied on Aug 12th and there were subsequent Soft LUDs for 6 consecutive days until 8/19.
I'm guessing its been around a month since we responded to my RFE and since my case was under review, they may have picked it eventually.
