May I ask how you know this? Do you have some visibility to the internal processes, or have a credible source?

I'm not questioning your comment - just checking if it's more than hearsay.

Once every check is completed it goes into a queue and then every month a list goes to an officer based on the priority date and visa availability

The best thing is to call them as soon as the processing dates go past your application date. Call them to find out about ur case. At that time they are open about ur case. They will let you know exactly if your name check is cleared.

They also mentioned that once everything is in place the files goes to the office and then it might take up to 90 days for the officer to make a decision.

oh, i signed for my daughter aged 16
USCIS instruction say that if they can sign, they can sign the forms. Otherwise, you can sign and include signed by father or mother in front of the signature.

Here are few pending immigration bills which have a higher chances of passing in both house and senate. I was looking at some of the bills and noticed when a bill (or a varient )is introduced in both houses simultaneously the chances of that bill passing are higher.

This may be a good idea for us to try pushing some of the EB related measures if we can
into these bills. I know someone may say Hey these are family related bills But remember how they add the immigration, healthcare, veteran measures into budget or appropriation bills.....similarly we can try.

1 . Uniting American Families Act of 2009 (Introduced in Senate)[S.424.IS]
2 . Uniting American Families Act of 2009 (Introduced in House)[H.R.1024.IH]

This bill and varient were introduced in both house and senate. Note: It touches the

SEC. 4. NUMERICAL LIMITATIONS ON INDIVIDUAL FOREIGN STATES This is one item we always talk about removing the country limits......

The other bills in progress are

3 . Immigration Fraud Prevention Act of 2009 (Introduced in House)[H.R.1992.IH]
4 . Immigration Fraud Prevention Act of 2009 (Introduced in Senate)[S.577.IS]

5 . To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to exempt surviving spouses of United States citizens from the numerical limitations described in section 201 of such Act. (Introduced in Senate)[S.815.IS]
6 . To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide for relief to surviving spouses and children. (Introduced in House)[H.R.1870.IH]

Any thoughts.....

I have an approved i140 from old employer, using which I am planning to file i485 (As PD from old PERM/i140 is current for the month of Aug. & no labor filed for ne employer). As I am in good terms with old employer, they are ready to give me a "future employment letter" for my GC processing.

Can someone please let me know -
1. Format of the letter, details thats needs to be present in it,
2. Anything else I need from the old employer.

Thanks!

You're right, it is ugly. ;P

I'm only joking... don't hurt me. :ne:

Eh, I kind of like it.

It gets better. The guy who hired him was involved in deportation proceedings.

The next time a Republican gets in our face about immigrants, these are fine stories to trot out.

Hi..
I came to US on H4. My H1B got approved when i was in India. But I came through H4 only.
Now i want to change H4 to H1B. If i want to apply for change of status..do i need to go back to india(ot other countries) for stamping? Or can i get H1B staying here?
Please help..


Currently you are on H4. If you apply for H4 to H1 transfer, you can get H1 and start working from October this year. If you cannot find project immediately, you wait up to 3 months or 6 month (maximum), otherwise change status back to H4 or you will be in trouble. Since economy is not good, it is tough to get projects nowadays, already current H1 holders are looking for projects and some have gone back. if you have already worked in India, then you may get project easily, If you did not work, then it is tough to get a project. When you are on H4, you can have peaceful life while your psouse is working, you can have get togethers whenever you want, you can cook special dishes for your spouse and wait at the door in the evenings.Real problem arises when you become pregnant (assuming you are woman), you need to take a long break if you are working,, especially if you are away from your spouse....so point is have fun with spouse, have get togethers with other couples, go shopping at BedBathandBeyond/walmart/target/jcpenny in discount seasons, have honeymoon trips again n again...Go to India whenever you want.These things are so memorable than struggling to get projects and maintaining status. When you cant maintain status you cannot go to India whenever you want....
Just want to let you know the real picture...when H4 wants a H1.

Check with your international students office. In our time, they needed to sign the I-20 before you/your wife can leave the country. I also think she needs a separate I-20 with a F2 endorsement. She should not just carry your I-20 with her name in it, then you are supposed travel with her. Again, these were the old rules and I am not an attorney and this is not a legal advise, just from my personal experience.
this only applies if your spouse does not have any other visa. In the Op's case, she already has a 10 year visa, so she is okay to visit. Just make sure that you are able to show the necessary funds for support when she lands here.

Hi,

Can someone please help me below question


I got my finger prints and Advance Payrol receipt numbers from USCIS but not I765(EAD). I called USCIS about EAD receipt nbr but they said "System not yet generated I-765 receipt nbr". My attorny and employer not responding abt EAD receipt numbers and someware I have doubt they did not fill my EAD's as they know after getting EAD i can work for other employer which is 6 months from receipt date. Is their anyway I can track whether they filled my EAD form or not?

Also please advise is thier any alternative way I can fill EAD's.

Please help.

Thanks

my gc is filed under eb3 India PD march 2007

is it true i cant be promoted till GC comes through &

is it true my salary cant be raised beyond a certain point

I think those bills will only be related to toughening border security n patrol..

My wife is currently on H-1B status. Her employer has decided to close the company and cancel her H-1B effective from 2/28/09. My wife has an EAD and Advance Parole. We applied for her EAD and Advance Parole, when my company applied for my I-485 Adjustment of Status in July 2007. I wanted to know:

a) What steps are needed to move my wife from H-1B to EAD?

b) Do I also need to move from H-1B to EAD in order for my wife to use EAD?

c) Do I need to move my wife to H-4 status before she can start using her EAD?



In short I wanted to inquire, how to ensure that she is still in legal status after her H-1B is cancelled by her employer?

We know how much you like to be here in US - 300k Green Card petitions in July - madness, madness

now do you expect everything to happen for you automatically and others do it for you when you sit on your couch gazing at the cheerleaders in a football game

THIS MESSAGE IS FOR YOU ALL

LOUD AND CLEAR - YES , WE WANT YOU IN DC

I just checked the top rated idea "Legalize the Medicinal and Recreational Use of Marijuana".. Is this website for real????????:eek:

Use the following link to see USCIS Application and Receipting Update

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=ace7ec20cfbd4110VgnVCM1000004718190aRCR D

This one is the last friday's update, they should release new receipting update today!!

Hi,
I am on H1, Applied EAD and Travelling on AP.

Is there a problem if I don't have approved EAD while I come back?

Please note EAD has nothing to do with travel.
EAD is authorization to work while adjusting your status.
AP is advance paroled document which you require when AOS is pending, you will be admitted in as parolee.

I have a question which I have been wanting to ask for a while, so if GC is for a future job then can someone incorporate a company and work for self on EAD/AC21. If there is query for ablity to pay then at that point can you have an offer from other company and work for that company for 6 months once you get 485 approved.


Greencard is for the future job you are going to do, after getting the green card.

Detail (sharpness) looks great in this one. The spotlighting effect is also nice. :)

thanks.

Anyone of you who has been fingerprinted and had interview with USCIS,

How long did you take to be given a schedued appointment for interview after the fingerprint? Did you have an interview right after the fingerprint?
Is that possible to have it both on the same day?
I am asking you because I would like to travel outside of the country with AP as soon as I have my fingerprint done.
If I would be nortified of the interview date right after the figerprint, I would rather stay to finish everything before travel. That way, I won't cause any troubles, right?

Thanks
