Please post and email this question at the above teleconf..

I already did.

This will be mass distributed with the flyers.

no OCI for minor kids...you can get more info @ http://www.indianconsulate.com/

usually you will be asked for W2 for those years since your priority date.It doesnt matter when you entered US initially

Received FP Notice in mail today

485 RD: Jul 2 2007
485 ND: Aug 7 2007
FP ND : Aug 14 2007
FP Date: Aug 28 2007

So the dates are moving ahead but what does this really imply ? With priority dates retrogessed to around 2000 and no visa numbers availble for EB3. Who is getting the GC. Is it only the Eb2 with PD around 2000 or any one else.

Does anyone has more info to better understand what these dates imply ?

While there is some debate reg. what these dates refer to, the USCIS, on this page, clearly states that these are receipt dates (RD) on your receipt notice (for I-485 or whichever document you are checking processing times for).
[The processing dates shown below represent the receipt dates of petitions and applications currently being processed by the USCIS Service Center.]

Based on your EB-category and country of chargeability, if your PD is current AND your RD is earlier than the one indicated in this "Processing Times" page, then you should already have your GC - if you don't you MUST contact NSC.

Since both you and I belong EB-2 and our PD's are past Jan 01, 2000 (per the June visa bulletin), there is no visa number to give either of us, even if our RD for I-485 is before Aug. 17, 2007.
The (current) problem isn't USCIS's processing pace - it is lack of sufficient visa numbers.

Go to websites such as ZAZONA.com and numbersusa.com and check out their arguments that they use to oppose H1b and EB-greencards. You are saying the same thing and feeding into those arguments by using the word "Slavery".

And by the way, regarding public opinion, remember that immigration(legal or illegal) is issue number 5 or 6 after economy, healthcare, Iraq, security, deficits etc. etc.

Public opinion is not going to care about 350,000 H1bs in line for GC. But still, getting overall media attention is good for our cause and I urge you to write letters to the editors of NYT, LA times, Time mag, Newsweek. etc etc. like you suggested. But there is not POINT IN BEING RHETORICAL or SARCASTIC.

for sure this info is gonna be useful for someone.
i hope i don't have to use it myself though :D
thanks for the help.

yes my date is eb3 jan 2007...I think this is part of the whole pre approval thing

I work for University since 2002 with very straightforward case hence suprised

ok..here is part 2.

Employer was able to speak to USICIS officer. He asked

whethere

1) I was contractor
2) from when I was employed
3) Work timings
4) exact office Location

my supervisor asked why all these questions about location and timing they said they will do a site visit

I feel if my app can trigger this than any other app could...

The USICs is just getting crazy with all the bueracacy crap

USCIS is not getting crazy ....It's preplanned well defined strategy to kick out immigrants ...first they choked the system so that everyone is stuck and now picking more & more people in the name of verification

Can a legal expert provide advice as to whether I can use EAD/AP to get in?

Bump again

what am I missing here? other than the hassle of getting paper copies filled out/ printed and the advantage of getting a refund a few weeks earlier, what is the advantage of e-filing?

Those are pretty desirable advantages plus there is a chance that your mail could be lost and there is no confirmation with paper filing!

Anyway I efiled it and it was accepted as well. I had no response from IRS regarding the letter we sent about getting a new SSN!

May I ask which Service Center is your app in.

Mine is in TSC.

First of Change the subject of this thread. This is confusing to state that your I485 is already denied.

To your question:

1. NO you cannot continue to work on EAD once your I-485 is denied. EAD is based on the pending I-485, once that is denied there is no basis for EAD to be valid. You are out of status immediately after the denial.

2. Opening MTR takes months, if you are lucky then it might be quick.

Now a question to you.

1. Why do you think your I-485 will get denied? I assume you have all the documents supporting your legal status in US and on job. If so you should not be worried.

The safe bet:

That is the reason why people maintain dual status with H1/L1. That helps in these kind of situations.

Just my thoughts, better consult with a lawyer if you are in such a situation.

Good luck.

I think since in their case there is not Labor Certification process so their PD is the day they file I-140.

Internet - In either case, it helps EB3 for the next yr as these 61,000 nurses are removed from EB3 quota.

Also I am wondering whether nurses also have PD or something like that. If most of them have PD > 2006 then they will not be able to use EB3 visas as it is retrogressed and stuck at 2001/2002.

Additional Resources to Eliminate Backlog by Sep 2007

The DOL reports that they are "scaling up" resources dedicated to the elimination of backlog cases. Their stated deadline for eliminating the backlog is September 30, 2007. Based on what we at the Murthy Law Firm are experiencing, they are going to have to really increase their efforts, particularly in Pennsylvania, to meet this goal. They note that the work at the BPCs cannot be compared to the PERM case processing, since backlog cases receive full review, whereas the PERM cases are based upon attestations and primarily are technology-driven.

How about this scenario..
I invoked AC21 and changed job using my EAD. Now my new employer applied for my EAD and AP renewal. I got the approval for the renewal today....does that mean USCIS is ok with my application (AC21) or they will verify it at the time of 485 adjudication?

Why don't you do I140 via premium processing?

You will need to have your H1 amended to show that you are employed part time. You should be fine with that.


My LC is languishing in Philly backlog center. Not sure if I beleive that they will have it completed by Sep 2007. In any case, I am blessed enough to be able to switch to a part time status at work. I am enrolling in a part time graduate program. My question is - will going part time at work hurt me with LC or even later with 140, 485, or maybe even green card interview?? Thanks.

I thought if you were a first time H1-B filer, you need to go to your country of origin for stamping...correct me if I am wrong.

hmmmmm....honestly i m not sure.....i think it was the case few years back...i m not sure if still its the same.....would like to hear from other members also on this 1?

Hello All,

I have read that it is not advisable to take any public assistance (like file for Unemployment) while on EAD.

I am a August 2007 filer with I140 approved and 485 filed > 180 days. I was recently laid off and I am planning to take COBRA for my health insurance needs. I have got some paperwork regarding ARRA Premium Reduction (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) where it says if your job is involuntarily terminated you can get 65% payments for your COBRA payment from ARRA Premium Reduction program.

My questions for the experts is, is it advisable to take this assistance? Can it cause a RFE on my 485?

Thanks for all your answers.

According to the law, you are not liable to pay it. They can't force you to pay. But if you are out of project and desperate, just agree for the clause and get that job.

I got an offer from a company, it is not a consulting company. In the offer letter it is mentioned that in case I leave the company or they terminate my employment (there is no time limit for this clause), I will have to pay back H1 cost. (The word H1 cost is mentioned).

I would like to know if this is something I will have to be scared about? I know that it is illegal to ask for H1 cost.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
