Great. Congrats!!!

Just chill its just shoplifting, its not like you killed somebody. Its not a crime for which there is no way of repenting. If court found you not guilty and you have done whatever punishment, then I don't see why should have to arms length to hide it.

Don't commit another crime by hiding it. Be confident and accept your mistake. Show some remorse. Just have all your papers in line. One of guys I know has some amazing history which will put your shoplifting to shame. He got his GC and living his life in peace. Just don't hide infront of officials. Also don't flaunt it around.

PS: Out of curiosity where was it that you were trying to shoplift?

Voted ????? How ? did u get a confirmation ?

Anyone care to answer this ????

I'm not sure the information is correct. You can add a spouse anytime before your I-485 is approved. Till that time it's a good idea, if you have a chance, to maintain two different applications. The difference is you can mention that you have a spouse in biometrics etc but you wont file for her EAD/ AP since she/he has a separate app since she is not a dependent.

In a nutshell " If-you-are-a-spouse-doesn't-mean-you-are-a-dependent".
If you don't plan to file as a dependent then you have to file two independent apps.

Don't get confused with dependent and spouse, these are two very different terms.

You would add a dependent before your I-485 approval depending upon whose PD is current.

PS: As usual all the disclaimer regarding of me not being an attorney applies. :D

EB2-I wait for April Bulletin.

Good to see EB3 movement.

Not YET :mad::mad::mad:

Your status does not change to H1B till October 1st, 2009 so by default you are on OPT till that time. Now, you might want to check with your company lawyers if they are going ahead with the filing. My feeling is , they are going to go ahead with the filing since only after an H1B is laid off, USCIS is notified by the sponsoring employer. If you don't file on the April time frame, you might miss the bus for this year and your next shot comes only in April 2010. Take a moment off and think with a cool head, what do you think would be good for you and your career.
Thanks for the reply. My question though is what will happen if i get laid off before October 1 2009, and my company revokes my H1? In that case will i be able to use my remaining OPT, since i will have my H1 cancelled by my company?

My case cannot be processed under CSPA, because the form I-824 was not filed within one year of the visa becoming available.

but i have a valid point mentioned after the follwing subject. please check if the point is valid.
ACC TO SUBJECT: CHILD STATUS PROTECTION ACT: ALDAC #2
REF: (A) 02 STATE 163054 (B) 02 STATE 123775

-------

If the principal applicant adjusted status in the U.S. and a derivative is applying for a visa abroad to

follow-to-join, then the date on which the derivative will be considered to have sought LPR status for

purposes of satisfying CSPA Section 3 will generally be the date on which the principal (acting as the

derivative beneficiary's agent) filed the Form I-824 that is used to process the derivative's following to

join application. Therefore, in cases involving a derivative seeking to follow to join a principal who adjusted

in the U.S., the derivative can benefit from the CSPA if the principal filed a Form I-824 for the beneficiary

within one year of a visa becoming available (i.e., within one year of the case becoming current or petition

approval, whichever is later). The instructions to Form I-485 (the adjustment application) advise aliens

adjusting status in the U.S. who have derivatives abroad to file a Form I-824 for such derivatives, and the

I-485 Form indicates that that Form I-824 can be filed simultaneously with the Form I-485

I NEED HELP AND I THINK THERE IS ALWAYS AN ALTERNATIVE OF THINGS.
IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY ANY ANY ANY WAY???
CAN THEY APPROVE IF I REQUEST THEM ?
WHAT IS the way out?

I checked the visa bulletin from august 2003 to the dates when it was current for our category E3.

I have found this point please have a look and determine if there is a chance?

VISA WAS AVAILABLE FROM AUGUST 2003 TO JUNE 2005.
ACC TO LAW FORM i-824 SHOULD BE FILED WITHIN 1 YEAR OF VISA AVAILIABILITY.
SINCE THE I-824 WAS FILED ON AUGUST 2005 WHICH COMES WITHIN ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE

JUNE 2005. SO IS IT A VALID POINT TO BE ELEGIBLE TO PROCESSED UNDER CSPA?

ALSO there is a last hope

A 221(g) refusal will not be considered a "final determination," regardless of whether it occurred within

a year of August 6, 2002 or earlier. (The only exception to this would be if the alien's case was ultimately

terminated under INA 203(g) for failure to make reasonable efforts to overcome to 221(g) refusal. A

203(g) termination will be considered a "final determination.")
AND VISA AVAILIBLITY IS THE DATE WHEN THE PRIORITY DATES BECAME CURRENT OR THE DATE WHEN I-140 WAS APPROVED.

WITH this OR option in above line we can also consider the visa availibity date as the date when priority dates were current

Please correct me.

12 calendar days. My I 140 was originally applied on 01/08/2007 upgraded to premium on 06/26/2007 there was a RFE ability to pay , reponse for RFE received on 07/26/2007. we called 18663155718 today, the IO officer said my case is approved today. online status still says it's pending.

search forums here, people haven't gotten their FP renewal notices even after requesting number of times to USCIS. Request from congress member compels uscis to move their butt.

Congressman for FP, you may want to contact USCIS first. They may not expedite your I-485 but they are good in sending these things...

Nothing yet. Once 2nd July is done it should be one or two business days.

Thanks Pappu for your reply.

I am not trying to get your status report. I do not want your battle plan either. I am trying to figure out if there is any ray of hope...

Yes there is no one-line amendment. But the objective of an amendment can be one line. That is what I mean. I saw many amendments before and am familiar with the political jargon. You are thinking that I am a novice when it comes to Immigration. That is ok and that is not the issue here.

Recently in one fundraising thread, I counted the number of retrogressed PD members contribution to others. Its in the ratio 1:5. The reason for this thread started at that time.

If members know that IV has the right strategy and right connections then the support to IV will be overwhelming. That is all I want to convey in the thread.

Thanks . We look forward to your participation in IV efforts. We currently have an action item to meet lawmakers. Please participate in that action item to get involved in the grassroots advocacy effort and know more how it works.

Do not start new thread to respond back or add to what gc_hoga_re has said. His post was offensive to members and detrimental to the organization.

That thread is now closed and gc_hoga_re has been banned.

To those who dont like censorship and moderation of forums:

Immigration Voice neither promises nor practices "Free speech" and "First amendment rights" claimed by members who dont like moderation and censorship.

We are an organization for Greencard backlogs advocacy, not civil rights like First amendment rights and free speech. In order to worship civil rights like free speech and first amendment rights, please join the ACLU (www.aclu.org).

Also, Immigration Voice is in its full rights to censor its own site as the site is owned by organization and it is not a public property. Your first amendment rights to "Say whatever you feel like" are guaranteed by the constitution to protect you from congress passing laws that can take away those rights. The constitutional rights dont guarantee you the right to say whatever you want on other citizen's/organization's property/website/domain. So please do not come back to preach the US constitution to the core group. There are thousands of blogs, sites and discussion forums that practice much higher level of censorship. The only way to guarantee the retention of online material is to start your own website and we encourage members who find Immigration Voice as a "Restrictive" or "Non Democratic" website to do that.

Immigration Voice will ban users, ban posts, delete posts, close threads and remove material that is detrimental to the organization.

Also, gc_hoga_re has been banned for posting offensive material.

it looks like you have been distracted lately and not following USCIS updates.

first Ap and EAD have nothing to do with each other and USCIS has stated that they are working hard to get EADs out as the law requires them too. Some people get their EADs a day or two before their receipts.

The priority is issuing EAD and USCIS ha been working hard at it, so dont fret

I didn't find what I am looking for.

I already have a lawyer and the ONLY reason I want to file myself is because I am fed up in chasing lawyers, my company etc. They don't respond in time and anyways I am preparing all my documents my self and guiding lawyer also.

So, I am thinking to file myself.
yes u need all documents...

Look again..and u will find link to this discussion on the HOME PAGE..

I will save u some time

Do the stastics actually show spilled over numbers? ie if EB1 India has depleted 3K visas, does it mean upto 3K were used because they got spilled to Eb2 and Eb3?

Any one knows , How is my GREEN Light turned to RED ?? Ways to turn back green

because some people might rated you -ve for this post, which serves no purpose, when we have more than enough polls around. Try to refrain from postings if you don't have any constructive info. Its better to refresh page and keep reading others posts.

Thanks for the reponse imm_pro and kopra.

Hi Kopra,

My wife will be returing beack from india in mid october :(...

All depends on spillover; it’s basically "NO SPILLOVER NO CHANGE". So just hoping for spillover to happen. I believe that the current bulletin might just come out late this week or early next week.
