H1B - Alberta PNP File Number / Certificate Timeline

[sava]

This is the latest e-mail I got from that nice lady who talked with me this morning,

Dear SaVa,
 
Further to our conversation today, I cannot confirm your file number as of yet as the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) officers will be issuing your file number.  Due to the high volume of applications received, the AINP have been a bit backlogged in issuing the file numbers. They assure me that you will receive one shortly by email.
 
I apologize that I cannot give you further information on this, but I expect you should receive confirmation shortly.
 
Regards,
XXXXXXXXX ( I don't think I'm supposed to reveal the name, sorry)
Alberta Employment and Immigration

Following is my Timeline,

Appln Rcvd - Mar 6th, 09 ( I mailed it on Mar 3rd)
Pre-Ass - No
NOC - 2131

Thanks Sava.  We were curious to see if you were using a number other than the one provided by AINP on their web-site.

So the correct numbers are 7913-09-xxxx? is this what everyone else has? Good to hear they're working hard still and there is no quota, I think once we get some new nominations soon everyone will feel a little more at ease.

She started to give me my file numberm started with 7912-08-, and then stopped , said something looks wrong with the file number.

You should also reference your file number if you have one. You also need to get an official document from your potential employee on a company letterhead. Make a certified copy and mail it ASAP.

How was the application process? Are they receptive of people with our situation? Unlike the H1B situation in US....

Good Luck

Here are the instruction from Alberta website and its link:
If you have a job offer and have already submitted an application to the AINP, please send a copy of your job offer and job description to immigration.info @ gov.ab.ca with a subject line of “US Visa Holder Category Job Offer”.

Just for my understanding:
 why are we maintaining a separate list? Why can't we just use trackitt? That way we don't have to depend on one person to do some changes.

Hi Sava,

Which application receipt date ?? the pre-assessment one or the application they received the second time ?? I am from the old process ..

FYI Guys,
Just called AINP and got to know that my pre-assessment was completed on Mar -30th and sent to the "Other Office" for Assessment (candidate). She also said that my file number was sent to me on Mar-30th . She started to give me my file numberm started with 7912-08-, and then stopped , said something looks wrong with the file number. She said she would confirm about the file number with someone else in the office and said that she'd send me the file number in e-mail by tomorrow.
I asked her about the QUOTA and she said that there is NO quota for this specific (AINP-SRS-US Visa holders) program. There might be quota for some other programs but not definitely for this program is what she said. We discussed about lot of other stuff, like job prospects and reciession and its effect, Alberta Economy, ... etc., but she did say that we all should know about our result/decision in 8 months (from the date they received the application).

Hopefully this information helps.

Regards,
SaVa

HELLO ALL,

I GOT A QUERY FOR :


# A copy of any document(s) from current U.S. employer demonstrating current job title, the main duties of the job, and the education and work experience necessary to do the job.  The document(s) must be one or more of the following: job offer letter(s), employment contract(s), reference letter(s), and/or requests/petitions to USCIS for your U.S. visa. The document(s) must be on company letterhead.

   1. We may already have a copy of the offer letter and work reference letters; however, we require a document which lists the current job title and the main duties (a brief but detailed job description). We find the petition letter the employer used to supplement the H1B application, provides us with the most detailed description of the job and qualifications – you can email us a scanned copy of the USCIS petition letter job description which the US employer used to supplement the H1B application



I had changed the address.My file number is 115X.The original h1b says that my job title is programmer analyst.

I filed under 2171.what shall i do

Also my preassessment is approved as IT cosultant as at that time I had provided them letter from client that I work as IT consultant.

I have 2 options either I provide the letter from current client and take it as IT cosultant OR
I can give the original one with programmer analyst,but it might contradict me as IT consultant which is approved during preassessment.
