Folks,
I had filed my I-485 in Oct 2008 (EB2-I, PD of May 2006) and moved in March 2009. I changed my address online and have a confirmation number for it. However, I don't think I have received a confirmation in the mail from USCIS.

I am trying to find out how to confirm if USCIS has my current address correctly on file. I tried to call in today and was told there is no way for them to confirm that on phone. The lady I spoke with took the updated address again -- saying she will refile for change of address and gave me a service ID that I could apparently use to get an infopass appointment 45 days from now.

Is there anything else I should/could do? Appreciate any input.

Thanks.

Oh man!!!! Why are you so worried? As long as you did the right thing thats all it matters. Since you also have a confirmation number, why worry?

You are freaking out UNNECESSARILY.

This reminds ne of the hindi saying " aa bail mujhe maar"
Literal translation: Hey bull, come and hit me.
:D:D:D:D:D

This rumour sounds like its straight out of timesofindia :p;)

can we just buy a vacation for the burger king (a.ka. steve king) and ask him to go to bahamas or cancun or somewhere.... so that we can pass the recapture bill....

I appreciate your humor along with all other IV members who have enjoyed the joke so far. But humor wont help us, but our diligent and focused measures, if you have something more than humor please join us, if not please don't make fun of our measures.


I humbly request everyone to start calling.

Thank you

If GC LCA salary is more than it is well planned by the employer. If you run away, at the time of GC you need to show a job with that higher salary other wise you may loose GC.

Usually GC LCA salary is kept low. If some mishap happen, is will be easier to find a job with lower salary.
good point... is the employer supposed to share the labor information with us?

Thanks Stemcell. I am still on my H1-B, but my wife has been working using her EAD. We are seeing and hearing different things. We are obviously planning to appeal, but the problem is will USCIS cancel the I-485 immediately or will the I-485 be denied with the ultimate denial (after appeal, if thats our fate)? We are hearing it both ways, so am really not sure - but your friend's case gives me a little relief.

Thanks Fromnaija!

Good info :)

I am in the same situation as yours. Any update after the infopass appointment.

can this event me scheduled to someother day, preferably a weekend ?

Also, May 15th is mine and my daughter's birthday, so I would have to be at home in the evening ?

asdqwe2k,
Actually this event is being held to celebrate your's and your daughter's birthday if you didn't know. :-)

Happy birthday to both of you in advance. Enjoy.

My thanks to all replies,

Here is the bottomline.

An interim rule was indeed published in the Federal Register on May 24, 2006, announcing that Premium Processing program would be expanded to include I-140, I-539, and I-765 applications.

As we already know Premium processing for I-140 is already in effect since last Fall. I am not certain about I-765, BUT the effective date for I-539 under premium processing is still unknown.

So, as both hubby's H1 and my H4 applications are pending, I will upgrade his H1 and hope that my H4 gets picked up as well. There is at least 50-50% chance for that (if they did not stopped the 'courtesy service for H4s).

The twist here is that my current H4 expires on March 16th, 2007. AND we cannot send for my (H4 to H1) transfer before APRIL 1st.

That's why I SO MUCH NEED H4 extension in hand before sending H1 in APRIL.

how bad can that be.. :D

any other tri state members want to be a part of IV?

Can you please let me know which application you used for this renewal. Mine is also going to expire in another 6 months so i thought of renewing. can you please let me know fees also...http://www.indiacgny.org/appl_forms/Form4.pdf

is this the application that you used for renewal...please reply...thank you...:)

Check out this website. It has all the information we all want:

Sure. Tell me exactly day and time. I will make sure I am miles away from that. I just don't want to be identified with the "amnesty bill" since that is getting increasingly unpopular these days.

spoke to the lawyer and they said they have experience last month of filing a I485 similar to mine at Nebraska and had no issues.

So I guess I will have to trust them and see. She also mentioned 2 yrs is the time for follow to join not 180 days.

Fingers crossed

We cannot justify the opposition to price increase as INS expects the fees to be paid by employer. So if needed employers can oppose not the employees. Only fees the candidates expect to pay is citizenship fees and all other immigration related fees should be paid by Employers as they are sponsoring gc
Totally disagree. Only a small %age of employers pay the fees, rest is all borne by the applicant. This includes universities, companies etc. There are so many components of fees that everything is not covered by employer.

Do most of the companies cover EAD (every year), Adv. parole (every year), I 485 etc.. fees. The arguemnt given by USCIS (read their website) for I 485 increase is that it will be processed in 6 months and therfore no need to apply for EAD and AP fees. The argument is fallible is that it does not counts retrogression adn name check, it is simply assumed everyone will get their I485 processed in 6 months.

They are not using technology (because they can't hire more H1b and softwarre professional) but using the excessive money to support theeri old fashioned systems.

What a mess 180% fees increase on most of the applications?

wow this was really fast. can u furnish some details like
country / EB category / PD etc for our info. good luck

Mr. MLK Jr,

You had a dream - at least you were sleeping. I wish I could sleep too:p

Nice new footer too dan. I likes.....

Great works, guys. :o

the problem is my company is not willing to give me any documents unless i loose my job. Also when you mentioned ASAP, do i have to get a job within # of days

any suggestions.

These are some good options but don't agree fully with F-1 strategy. For F-1 u have to show non immigrant intent. So u can delay ur marriage registeration. I think it is better if he applies for F-1 without disclosing that he is married.

People, First of all, if you don�t have answers please dont post junk!

Options:

1. Bring him to USA on F-1. With a good GRE, TOEFL score, an admit from a good university and a true passion to do M.S. will help get a F-1 Visa. Also, your friend can pay for his first semester fees, which will also help to build a strong F-1 case.

2. Look for a job for him in a public/non-profit organization where you don�t have a lot of H-1 restrictions. Ask him to build up his skill set and be prepared to do any kind of employment.

3. I am not too familiar with "Follow-to-join" process, but that might be an option. ***May not be applicable, but just a thought***

4. Like someone mentioned, both of you relocate to Canada, where its easier to get Perm residency.

5. Ask her to apply for Citizenship whenever she is eligible, so that, its much easier to bring the spouse in. ***Might take a few years, but it still is an option***

Hope these help.
