Wow ! I am in exactly same situation. I talked to national service center and they said they will talk to only employer or attorney. I told attorney about it and they said, dont worry , there online status system is screwed up so just wait for decision snail mail.
After seeing your mail, I am susoecting VSC cases are having issues with status search. so I would say that dont worry.

I just wanted to confirm that "Document mailed to applicant" on I-131 means that the AP is approved. Can someone who saw a similar message please share their experience?

ATA conf is a popular event among South Indian (Telugu) immigrants - this year their meeting is in NJ. During this even they seems to have an immigration forum with Attorney Murthy - details are below. If enough IV members are attending - it will be a good idea to have an informal meeting among ourselves. I am also trying to contact organizers to see if they will be OK to announce about IV and our activities - some of us can volunteer to talk to anyone interested to talk more or involve in IV's acitivities.

Announcement from ATA follows:
--------
NRI Committee of American Telugu Association (ATA) is inviting attendees and all Telugu people to take advantage of the Immigration Forum that is expanded to cover over three hours with several practicing attorneys lead by Smt. Sheela Murthy, popular immigration attorney

The Immigration forum will be held on 4th of July in the afternoon from 1:30 PM to 5 PM at the Penn Hilton Hotel, Garden State Ballroom.

The forum is expected to provide guidance to "Immigration questions" related to various professions such as IT/Software, Medical and Family based issues. The forum in addition also focuses on Excessive Delays in Processing. Participants can have many technical and general questions answered first hand from the attorneys with several years of experience in these matters.

Please mark your calendar for July 4th at 1:30 PM and check the schedule from ATA Convention site by going to www.ataworld. org/2008.

Once your wife's starts using EAD, her H status is invalid (H1 or H4).

EAD to H4: Fastest way to get back to H4 would be travel outside USA, stamp, and reenter using H4. You should be maintaining the H1 status all the time.

EAD to H1: In my opinion, she can get back to H1 as long as her H1 is not expired. COS to H1 or extension can not be done past expiry date.

Hope this helps!

Hello gurus,

What is the good reason to be specified for visitor visa extension? I understand that USCIS may reject extension application if the reason is not good. Appreciate any helpful responses

anyone?

Yes there is. You need to write to the Service Center that has your I-485 and ask that the approved I-140 with the earlier priority date be substituted for the one in your 485 file.

This story is priceless -- after all the anti-H1B and anti-immigrant rhetoric,

"The California Republican Party has decided no American is qualified to take one of its most crucial positions � state deputy political director � and has hired a Canadian for the job through a coveted H-1B visa."

The date you sign the form has nothing to do with the date USCIS receives your application packet.

if we sign 28th june , it will be considered 1st july filing ?

My husband has a pending I-130 visa petition (I am a US citizen, he's Italian, we live in Italy). Can anyone tell me whether he is permitted to enter (and exit, as we are still residents in Italy) the US on holiday (departure 19 dec)?
I have not found any specific details in regard.

I am planning to use AC21 to change employers. I signed G28 to allow the attorney for my current employer to represent me before USCIS. Since I signed G28, is it possible for my current employer to withdraw my I-485 application?

Please advise on this...

If I am not mistaken your 485 cannot be withdrawn by your employer after 180 days but they can withdraw your 140 which should not matter after 180 days. I am sure the pro's here will be able to confirm this.

My Son is in India and will be traveling back to US on 1st September 2009 and His passport validity expires on 28th February 2010. Is it necessary for us to renew his passport while he is in India it self for him to enter into US?

Also our H1B validity expires by 14th January 2010.

I would suggest to apply for the extension now and atleast carry a application receipt with you. And if you are planning to enter the county in July - Sug time, frame, I would suggest that you carry the approval notice as well.

I had the same issue with H1B. Even through my H1B was valid but it was expiring within a months time when I was re entering US after a business trip. I was suggested by my lawer to carry the H1B extension approval notice.

Dear IV users,

for the first time I/m doing self-filing could you please answer my naive questions?

1. How could I know which service center to file? I have my current EAD with me with the card and attached paper work and it says it is from Nebraska Service Center - so is this the service center I need to re apply?

2. Where can I find the mailing address for this service center?

3. Should I send a copy of my passport and other immigration history documents for renewal?

Please reply at your convenience.

Thank you.

My I-485 is pending and priority date is OCT 2006. We have EAD which expires in DEC 2010. I also have H1B visa which expires on JUN 2010 (After 3 years of extension after I-140 approval.) My question is:

1. Is it worth having H1B visa extended just in-case? Will extending H1B visa cause any problems with pending I-485?

I appriciate yr help.

Thanks
Jig.

Whatever happened today couldn't have happened without the relentless efforts from IV team.

As a token of appreciation of all those efforts, I have contributed $500 today.

Would volunteer to any future IV efforts and action items.

THANKS A LOT, IV!!

Moderator, Please close this thread. There is enough info. on the forums, no need to be so selfish.

It is not an issue for people of Indian origin who are returning, of planning to return, back to India for whatever reason. They are the lucky (?) ones to have either a Indian passport or PIO card or OCI card so they are eligible to work on that basis.

But how about those who do not qualify for one of the above? There is an increasing number of foreigners working in India - how do they become eligible to work in India? Is there an equivalent of an H1B, or may be oneday GC & Citizenship?
