I can not take infopass appointment as I don't have receipt number. Alos, I called up USCIS and they informed me that it is taking longer time for entry and so far they don't see my EAD and AP entries in their system. Although they have received I-485 which was sent along EAD/AP. I just wondering if anyone come across similar sitaution, also does it make sense to file EAD/AP again without any further waiting ?

Once you call USCIS on the 1-800-375-5283, try the following option sequence:

1-2-2-6 (key your 485's receipt number) -1-1 (listen to the case status) -3-4.

The last option (#4) enables you to get to an IO since you "filed a few applications together and think that some of them got seperated or lost".

If you already tried the above and it was not fruitful, please disregard this post.

Do not submit your I-94 at the canadian border. Just say you intend to come back within 30 days. If you go by road no one will ask you for it either. On the way back show all you documents.

One important thing. Take all your previous H1b's with you. Take you entire petition papers with you as well. Take your original H1B with the I-94 attached. If your spouse is going with it take all her / his previous papes as well , including the H4 and previous H1 if any. My wife was asked for her previous H1b as well since her last stamp on passport was H4. You should be fine . I have done it and found the procedure very smooth. By road try to take the busy route like the one going through Niagara as they are very well aware of the rule.

please go home and check your email.. :)

PS:BharatPremi, I sent you a PM

For Nov 2005 PD...how long before we can get GC

Technically you have to wait till Aug 1.
Chances are, you will get your GC sometime in early August :)
Good Luck.

Just checking: How many of us got the COPIES of 485 petetion filed by attorney. I asked my attorney to send me copies of petition filed and the supporting documents submitted (filed on 6/29 and delivered 7/2: July VB). Despite calling and writting couple of times since the filing, I have NOT got the copies to make sure if filing was okay. we provided all info and documents required.
My question: 1) Is it a common practice for attorneys to supply a copy of filed petion to clients. 2) How many people got copies.
It helps to do some introspection. Please, let us know

i took my passport pics from walgreen....i told them passport size photos...i got my renewed passport without any problem.

Here we go again. When Obama's Democratic Party controlled the House and Senate, Congress failed to pass an immigration bill that would have provided a path to Residency and later Citizenship for some illegal immigrants who entered America as children. The DREAM Act died in the Senate in December due to a Republican filibuster.

With Republicans now controlling the House and holding a stronger minority in the Senate, the chances for any comprehensive immigration reform are considered non-existent.

Obama travels to Texas on Tuesday to make the case that his administration has worked hard to secure the border and the time has come for Congress to deal with the 10.8 million people already in the U.S. illegally.

He will also argue that those who care about this issue need to step up pressure on Congress to act, a point he has made privately in a string of meetings with business executives, evangelical leaders and Hispanic celebrities.

Many activists blame the White House for not making the issue more of a priority, and Tuesday's speech is an effort, in part, to shift attention to Republicans who are blocking action.

Many Republicans and some Democrats oppose the measures Mr. Obama favors that would create a path to citizenship for some people who entered the country illegally, saying it would reward law-breaking. Opponents also say not enough has been done to secure the border with Mexico. The White House says it has put more "boots on the ground" along the southwest border than ever before and has cracked down on employers who hire undocumented workers.

The administration has also deported a record number of illegal immigrants, a point that has angered Hispanic activists. Federal officials say deportations of illegal immigrants hit a record 392,000 in fiscal year 2010.

Hoping to push through the political stalemate, Mr. Obama has held private meetings to discuss immigration with political figures such as New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, business leaders such as John Engler, president of the Business Roundtable; and religious leaders such as Leith Anderson, president of the National Association of Evangelicals.

In some similar cases, filing a petition for mandamus in federal court has been effective. HOWEVER, this strategy is not without risk, and you should consult with an immigration attorney with specific experience dealing with 212(a)(3)(B) "hold" cases before proceeding.

any thoughts guys....

Why do you need a signature from anyone in your company (or ex-company) on your 485. I-485 is your application and your employer has nothing to do with filing it.

Are you talking about I-140 by any chance?

I would also say use the EAD.BTW do you work for MA based Tech company as they are the only technology company i know who announced lay offs.

Yes, you are right. I work for the MA based tech company.

I have received my green card 5 months ago and still working for the same GC filing employer(a consulting company). My wife had an RFE on her GC, since she could not take MMR at 2007 fiasco time. We have recently replied with the evidence. Now my project is getting over at the client site in next couple of weeks. I am sure that I can lose my job at consulting company also.
My question is, what happens to wife's GC? What if there is another RFE and how can I reply it?
Please let me know my options.

Has any one ever heard of 140 denial due to less percentage of marks secured in graduation.

Job desc is the key, Hope you are talking about a hypothetical scenario. if you are talking about a real scenario you need to take a look at job requirements and desc. If the case is a substituition case then proof of burden is on employer. I think if we are talking about a real scenario then one should get an RFE before a denial.

I am on the same boat. My case was transfered to NSC and my receipt number starts with WAC.

I am a July 2nd 2007 filer. When i spoke with an IO few days back, he told me that they will process according to the NSC processing dates even through the receipt # starts with WAC. The IO has also confirmed that even though the case has got two receipt dates (one with CSC RD and another with NSC RD), they will consider the first one (July 2nd) to process the case.

The only thing I notice is a little orage that looks unusual on the tip of the rear ducks beak. If that's not it, I don't see anything.

1. Is it is consulting job? If yes then it does not matter. If it is a full time job, go for stability. You need to hold on to your job for quite a while.
2 "Consider" is a dangerous word. Have them give you in writing when would they start the process. If they are not giving you in writing, believe me, they will never start the process.
3. It is random. Consulting jobs tend to get more RFE.

Good Luck.

I got laid off recently.

Now got job with 2 companies. 1 small and 1 big. 3 questions:
(1) Should I select based on my salary? Big company offers more salary.
(2) I have to now start Greencard again. So should I choose big company or small ? Both said they will consider sponsoring if performance is good.
(3) If I transfer H1B Is Big company likely to get RFE or small?

Thanks a lot for the quick reply!

Will Advance Parole be valid until she comes back? Technically you cannot take her Green card and give it to her outside US.

^^^^^bump^^^^^^

Either your employer, or the lawyer can contact DOL directly in this situation.

I had a opt which expired on the 9th. of november and on june 08 i applied to start green card process with help of a lawyer.I have a master degrees from the US and my lawyer told me that i did not need to apply for a H1 visa or a work permit and could directly go for green card. we started the process in june 08 and I applied to eta 9089 on september 08 and could not get any reply back for almost 5 months. My lawyer tells me that it is normal to not get an answer for so long even thought I think we had to get an answer in 3 to 4 weeks after september. Now, my lawyer suggests me to go back to my country as my status will be put of satatus and I could continue my green card process from back home.

I would like to know if my lawyer is telling me the truth or my lawyer made any mistake..

I need help!!!
