Not yet..he has been questioned abt illegals..but is also talking about highly skilled immigrants...

I received my "Approval Notice Sent" email on Aug 13th and actually received the notice on 16th. However, never received any "Card Production Ordered" email. From your post, it looks like you received the card production email before the "Approval Notice Sent" email. I am just wondering why I didn't receive any card production ordered email.

I would imagine that once the 485 is approved, card production is automatically ordered. Any input guys?

The Story Thus far:

Though I am not an immi guru ( I never knew what was LUD till I started checking this site), but check this site for regular updates, so wanted to share news with others who eagerly waiting for approvals in Aug.

This one...I sharpened it. Hope you don't mind.

I was afraid to sharpen them too much. I thought that would too make much noise.
Which one you like best Steve?

If I remember my Uncle's word correctly, it was Ted Kennedy who was instrumental in relaxing (changing) the rules for future immigrants in 60 or 70's. Only then, we saw a huge increase in immigrants from India especially doctor's and engineers in 60's & 70's.

Obtaining Green cards (or permanent resident stamps in the passport) at the port of entry if you had a degree in medicine or engineering and a job offer from an American company. Of course the total population of Indians in the US even until the late 80s was about 900 thousand. Only when the tech boom started in 1993-94 did immigration especially from India go up rapidly.
Also unlike now, a H1B was strictly for 6 years, no extensions until you spent 1 year outside the country and came in on a fresh petition.

A question on consular processing vs I-485. She already has a tourist visa. Also since she is deriving her green card status from mine, her priority date is current. Could she come to US on her tourist visa and we file for I-485 here instead of doing consular processing?

Thanks,

There is no clear indication from USCIS regarding how long you have to stay to prove your intent. Some say even the very next day you can move on to a different company, some would like to be cautious and would like to wait for 6+ months before moving to another company.

If the company is not willing to pay you when you are on 'bench' then get the information in writing for future and move on. If you do not want to raise a red flag during citizenship application, this will help you at that time.

Thanks

Hi,
I had the same scenario... only the dates are different.

You will get only ONE STAMPING On your passport and that will be till the end of your 3rd year( Till Second H1 exp. date)

Cheers

There is no harm in opening a service request (SR) but you have to wait 30 days for the next step after the SR i.e sending followup email directly to the service center if nothing happens to the SR. I opened SR on 9/1 and came to know that SR is still pending and not assigned to any officer. May be they are busy in approving cases so technically I have to wait till Sep 30 to send the followup email. Even if you send the followup email before that 30 days there is no use because you will get an email back to provide the SR number. Hope this helps.

Please help!
I just filed i-485. My pD is Jan 2004
i-140 has been previoulsy approved.
Now my original employer agreed to give me evl, but with the way the economy is going they are not doing well.
I have another employer which I am working now with.
How likely is to get an approval (or an rfe for paystubs?) before 180 days.
I am eb3 row
Thanks, I am very depressed it took too long I guess and the economy changed and now the whole future of my family is pending

You are in AOS status now. need to file New I9 as all said.

You can always file new H1 (Not in quota but not extension) using your approved 140. So that can be done.

Talk to your lawyer

My H1B expire on 9/30 as well as my I-94 also expires 9/30. Some how I miss my H1B extenction. I have EAD that is valid until next year mid. I am working right now what is my current status? Is they any way still i can extend my H1B.

My employer is saying there is no way to extend H1B after crossing the last date. You have to work on EAD.

But my question my I94 is expired on 9/30 then what is my current staus.

thanks in advance.

You can see many denials for 3 year degree people in various forums including IV.

I have one copy of the denial of my friend in hand. (AAO appeal in progress) It is 3+1+2=6, still they denied for EB2.

.....

You have not still answered my question for official source or link for your claim. I don't care how third party evaluator evaluates. I have seen so many varying evaluations done.

By theoritical no problem, if you have credits equal to US bachelors and masters degrees.....

Also, your calculation 3+1+2=6 is incorrect. Since this is BSc+BEd+MSc. For MSc, BEd is not needed and therefore you can't add time spent for BEd. Just like two BSc degrees do not make it equivalent to MSc.

If this one year program is not BEd, but "post graduate" diploma, still it is not going to work, since that "diploma" is not required for MSc.

Not a legal advice.

I-485 can be rejected if filed with incomplete initial evidence.

Folks, it is the time for us to be more careful than even to make sure that our lawyer files I-485 correctly. With there mistake, we can really get screwed up. All they can say one word �Sorry�.

It happened to me while filing for H-1 extension, I got only one year extension, based on Labor pending whereas my I-140 was approved at that time, they refilled at no cost to me with 3 year extension.

Here in I-485, refilling will not be possible, since by the time we get the receipt notice, the date might have moved back already.

I have not yet received the originals supporting my BC.............. is it a problem............ everything else i have but still waiting for the affidavits............. can you please elaborate on this............

Why is it still unaccessible? Are you guys experiencing the same?

You are right that to get registered in US I would have to marry in US. That's why I was asking if I even need to get it registered in US to file for my green card. Response I got on this forum was Indian registration certificate is fine.

I want to restate that I got my green card on August 9th 2010. So I need to be married prior to this date for my wife to derive her green card status using mine.

Thanks,
Dinesh

1. If you go to the DMV please ensure you carry the complete papers. The folks are good but would not approve just on the basis of a receipt notice or letter from the attorney or employer..... You need a presently valid visa(H1/H4/whatever is your present status) approval notice.
2. The DL would be granted only upto the last date of the visa approval period.
3. OK Folks are very nice and cooperative. (NJ folks were not bad either but OKies are nicer ;-)

Stating above based upon personal experience as I had to stay at home for 10 days because the H1 renewal did not arrive on time.

Thanks snathan. Can you please point me to a link that lists down the conditions needed to satisfy EB1/EB2/EB3. The link provide by samuel5028 is not working.

Thanks

IV is trying to eliminate the backlog and reduce the wait time for the EB2 and EB3. There is a lobby day arranged on Apr 4 & 5 DC. Please join the advocacy if possible. Otherwise you can donate money, air miles or hotel reward points for members who attending.

I don't want to use EAD/AP, as I want to have a backup.

Hello OP,
Here is what I did. I have mentioned some tips for you to save money:
Fly to Tulsa. There is tonnes of BUS service from Tulsa to Nogales(AZ). It is damn cheap..I think $10.00
They will drop you at the border. Walk to the other side.
YOU DONT NEED VISA TO GO TO MEXICO IF YOU PLAN TO STAY IN NOGALES ONLY.
I did get a visa but was told it is not needed. No one cares...you can simply walk over..no one will check either.
Cab costs anywhere between 7 and 10 to go to USA consulate.
There is a local bus like blue line in delhi that can take you there too. It is not worth it though. Chances are high that you will get your visa the same day. If not, you can rent hotel for anywhere between 30 and 50.
Take cab come back to border. Walk over...do the same immigration process like you would do at any airport.
Someone up there is right..be prepared to face atleast 150 to 200 Mexican H2 or H3 ...workers. This will be the longest part of your journey.
No need to get any mexican currency. They gladly take USD.
To use your cell phone, come to the border..its a regular within 50 states call from there....as soon as you go like 1 mile inside, you loose signals. Then it becomes international call.
Don't drink water there...drink beer.
If you have any other questions or if I missed anything else that you wanna know..feel free to ask: tinuverma@gmail.com

Good luck.

Please stop opening new threads which are not related to immigration

I got 2 red dots for this .....Crazy people

Yes, PR visa is not extendable....Also, you dont have to apply for any PR card when you go to Canada. When you enter Canada, you will automatically be a PR starting that day and the PR will be mailed to the Canadian address you provide at the airport....Its your choice to apply for a SIN card (US equivalent of SSN card)...For this you will have to go to the nearest office to do so. Usually the landing procedure takes 2 to 3 hrs...You can return the same day...PR card is issued for 5 yrs from the date of your landing and you can stay 3 yrs out of Canada...To maintain PR status, you will have to be physically present in Canada for atleast 2 yrs..Hope it works out for you.....
