Another op-ed should be coming soon in another media

I am looking to this poll as it will really help where i am in the filing process .

Could someone here take the responsibility to organize the first confrence call for all TX members? pls get together on a conf call and discuss action items.

For some reason mine went the other way ,from Texas to Nebraska. It should have been in process at Texas but now Nebraska has retrogressed me about 5 months to March 10 2007 with my I-140 reeipt date of Aug. 16 2007. Can I complain about this? If so where?

Hi there,
I have been arrested for shoplifting. Finger printed,and produced in court. The case has been dismissed as I did not do it on purpose. I got the document from the court that case is DISMISSED. 1. Is it good to do the "Case Expungement"?
2. Does the port of entry officer sees the arrest even I expunge the case?
3. any other scenarios I might encounter?
Any suggestions are highly appreciated
Thank you

At the POE the IO will surely know abt your arrest. Have all your documents from the court and show it to them and you will be allowed to come in.

Expungement can be done only after 12 months and u should not have any other record against you.

Just relax,, do not repeat the mistake and cross the boarder if you have to peacefully.. You will be just fine..

There are several instances when a denial notice was sent, but the website continued to show the status as pending.

So if a denial letter has been received, then the website status means nothing.

Who would get the denial notice? The company or the attorney?
My friend tells me that his company no longer hires that attorney so would it mean that my friend would never actually receive the denial letter.

Well my experience with passport renewal in Chicago was HORRIBLE. First it took about 6 week to receive it. I ordered a jumbo passport but received a regular one ...called the office and left several messages -NO REPLY. Finally one Mr.Chaman Lal had to answer my call. My luck Chaman was horrible to talk (too rude) and was a perfect Bihari babu ( no offense to any Biharis on forum) said in pure Bihari accent,"No Jumbo passport made here and as far as refund for the extra money for the jumbo passport I don't refund any paisa to anybody" and the bang he hung up.

Mark Krikorian's entry on Huckabee's plan. Naturally he's not happy with Any increase on immigration even.

Its not just any Mark Krikorian, its our beloved 'bigot/racist Mark' - please make sure you always use that prefix or he will be very upset. He's already pissed that anytime the CIS' news releases are picked up by the newspapers/TV, they apparently describe CIS as merely an organization that wants 'stricter immigration' and deliberately leave out their illustrious founding by a courageous racist John Tanton. So - in confusion, ladys, jellyspoons , julia preston, nytimes et all - don't piss off our CIS ppl or they will deport your ass to wherever it came from! And don't think just because you were born here that you are safe cos there's a bill in the works that strips birthright citizenship retroactively!

Despite increase in visa fees the service is getting poorer and poorer. The US consulate in India has from long time set a arbitrary exchange rate of 54 USD. Despite this and even after having approved petitions, etc, people are getting PIMS verifications, 221(g) etc for no reason. Not to mention the consulate appearance is mandatory and many travel to the location of the consulate.

Despite charging boat loads of money, service is being denied or unreasonably delayed to most genuine cases as well. No body is questioning them on customer satisfaction etc.

I filed my 485 under new fees filing structure. Although it looked like expensive upfront cost, I don't pay a dime for my EAD/AP renewals and I am thinking of giving up my H1 when it expires later this year. Why pay them more when you dont have to? and put ourselves through, travel to consulates, additional questions, & 221(g) & PIMS crap?

This year Mumbai consulate took 3 months to process my wife's case , putting it under 221(g) and by the time they had finished processing , we were back in US on AP. Good riddance to the consulate.

I was thinking about that as well...but I have minor problems that might not be solved within July so it better for me to apply in August.

i see. anyway, good luck to you.

Query on Advance Parol. Send Clear Copies of Passports and I 94 Cards.

I appreciate your suggestions..

My I140 and 485 were filed in Dec'2006. I got my I140 approval notice (email alert from USCIS) last week.

Yes, 6 months for the I40 is the usual wait time for that (the usual wait time at THIS time in history that is). It's the I485 that is a pain...

My wife is in a similar situation. I-94 validity matches passport expiry (Dec 2008) , but H1 visa stamp is until Mar 2010. She has a new passport, but we are not sure if she will be out of status if she does not get a new I-94 and stays in the country beyond Dec 2008.

Get your I-94 corrected - BTW, staying beyond I-94 date is unlawful and you will be barred from entering US.

snathan - How different is different enough for USCIS/DOL to be okay with it? Would the num of years of experience be helpful if it was different.

I guess I am trying to figure out if I should let go of this position and wait for another one to come around if it's the current one is not worth pursuing due to potential issues during I140 stage.

Thanks

One more thing to take ino consideration is during the audit, along with your HR department DoL will review similar jobs within your organisation and check the requirements for those jobs. They will have to be similar, else you will have an issue.

bkam, just out of personal curiosity, what is ur plan B. Just for my personal Info.

Thanks for all your replies!

My understanding is the same as Glus and Raj. However, I am also afraid that GCHope2011 might be right, in which case I might stay illegally more than 180 days if I wait long enough and would have to wait 3 years to get back to the U.S.

I was holding H4 visa before I started using the EAD.

Relinking the 485 with my approved NIW 140 is probably not going to work as my priority date for that is Feb,2008 and it is not current yet.

I definitely want to speak with an attorney so Gus I will PM you.

You are fine man..I was in the same situation as yours...I had filed for LC Sub I140 in June 2006 and it was pending. I filed I-485 in July 2007 based on this I-140. Then I filed another I-140 in Jan 2008 based on my original labor and it was approved in Feb 2008. All this time, my first I140 was pending and it was denied in Sep 2008. I thought I am ggoing to lose my I-485 because it was filed based on that.

My lawyers confirmed me from AILA Inquiry that my I-485 will still be active based on the I-140 approved in Feb 2008. You dont need any re-linking. All USCIS needs ti keep I-485 active is one approved I-140. I confirmed this with 2 Info pass appts. My I-485 is pre-adjudicated status and it has been 2 years...got multiple EADs, AP, travelled and came in..no issues...so dont worry. Your I-485 will be actibe based on your approved I-140. You dont need any re-links.

Were you on bench or worked during the period when the employer didn't pay?

My employer is not paying salary. Where I should complain about him so I can get salary.

Thx

I have received my physical card on 09/24. This site was a great help and will continue spreading word about IV.

Is anyone here works for Apple Inc.? Need some info. Please send me private message.

Thanks

In the same boat...

if the principal files 485 now and then gets married say 2-3 months later when the dates are NOT current, can a dependent 485 be filed for the spouse so that she can get EAD?

I was told that even in the case of a dependent 485 filing, the dates have to be current for the application to be accepted :(


On related lines, if the principal application gets EAD and after 6 months moves to a new job based on EAD, and then he gets married, can he bring his spouse on H4? I think the answer is NO.
