since they asked you to complete the missing information, that means they will consider you if you submit all the required info on time with valid h1b/ I 797 and pay stubs.
so keep finger crossed and submit all info and wish u best of luck.

sorry to hear abt your case. just one question though, when you got the email of your file number, what was your application received date given in that email? looks like who all r not on h1 and even applied before 19th feb will be rejected? but one suggestion though, you can call AINP and question them why u got rejected while AINP requred to maintain h1 at the time of appln only for who applied before feb 19 ,2009.

Thank you ALL for your suggestions.
I called up AINP on Friday and the guy told me that they cannot consider my application because the basic rules states that you've got to be working on H1B visa for 1yr. But he was very nice in explaining stuff... And I guess its fair enough.. they cannot change their rules just for 1person whose attorney screwed up.... So thats my case..
I will have to look out for other options now..
The other thing what he told me is that therez no AINP application fee so, whatever amount I payed goes directly to my Attorney's pocket for all the paper work. Now, I will have to get back from them. I even received a positive reply from my attorney's special assistant (NOC Update, dont know what it means).. he said they will resolve my problem...
FYI,
My NOC :2151
file no. : 79xx:xx:39xx
All the best to the REST!!!!

Seeya,
Now that you have been in H1B status for over a year now, are you eligable to re-apply for Nomination again?

I am deeply upset and scared after hearing your case. During Initial days, It was clear that you just have to maintain the status at the time of application but these AINP offcials don't understand the value of people's time and efforts. Recession was effecting everybody then how come one can maintain status in 2008 and 2009 while US Citizens were getting laid off?divagirl said:
Seriously, These AINP Officials needs to be accountable and responsible! If they have to deny someone so should they make him wait 1 year 1 month?????. It was clear in january 2009 that Candidate has to maintain his/her status only at the time of application NOT AT THE TIME OF DECISION!!!! How can they deny someone who applied in January 2009??? Even a Immigration Law firm in Canada emailed the same question to AINP office and they replied that "One must be in status at the time on application"!!!
Divagirl:
I clearly remember that there was a law firm which emailed this question to AINP and they replied that same thing as I said above. Just explore that law firm, contact them and if possibile ask them to send you a copy of that email with date which shows that email was sent from AINP saying that "One must be in status at the time of application" I know that there is NO appeal for AINP decision but it is your duty to resist and you must resist!!
DivaGirl:
Not only just Canadian Immigration law firm but also some historical forum members were replied the same explanation about the maintainenence of h1B status! just go back to the posts of Dec 2008/Jan/Feb 2009 and explore the posts related to status. I remember "Gingie" was the famous AINP official in those days when George W Bush led Government was serving America through 5$ a gallon gas price and that's why Alberta went wild because of those Oil revenues and finally figured out that during forthcoming 10 years Alberta will have shortage of tech professionals to sustain its prosperity and oil based economy and as a result of that AINP was launched and Officials were having party in Hotel New York and San Fransisco. That's just the history of AINP initiative but you must find historical post which can be useful for the "status maintenance" explanation.

When I got my ile number in email, it was clearly mentioned that my application was received on 9th Feb,so if you have that email which mention the received that and if that is before 19th feb, you can follow up with AINP as that time, yu have to be on h1 at the time of application only.But if email says that your appln was recvd after feb 19th date, then its a different story.
Chinga, redstar, did u hear back anything on your status?

Hi, Seeya:
I am wondering whether you can re-submit your applicaiton now. I think the processing time will be shorter than last year since there were much fewer applicants after last May. Also, you NOC is a rare one, so your case may be processed faster. Just my 2-cents. Good luck.

sorry to hear about the rejection. i'm not sure if you are still interested in Canadian PR, or are content with getting a kiwi PR. but, if you would like to pursue AINP, i'd suggest you to contact them and remind them that you applied for AINP with the old rules.
What options you have?seeya said:Thank you ALL for your suggestions.

All the best to th
1. Does FSW list include 2151 NOC code?
2. You may want to find a university in Canada and get admission and after 1 year of full time graduate study you may qualify under International Graduate Category. Check some universities.
3. find a Canadian permanent resident/citizen spouse who can sponser you. If you are single.

I heaven't heard anything so far. I wouldn't be surprised if they reject my application. I have given up on AINP. So good bye folks. I don't think I will be a very active member in this forum henceforth. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting for nomination!!!!
Hi Diva Girl
Sorry to hear for rejection of your application,So all these days you have been in US or out of US.U know I am also in the same boat and more over one thing r u application is pre- assessed even your application received before Feb 19th as my docs reached after 19th Feb so i also now think of other options.
Thanks & Regards
