PD has nothing to do with EAD processing. They're not linked.

There is no Priority Date on my I-485 receipt notice. Is that a problem?

Gurus Pls help

I was with Company A whn I got married which had my visa and I 94 till Nov 08,2006. My wife wnt to consul. and got her visa and I-94 till same date.
I came back to US alone and changed to company B in July 06 and got my I-94 till 2009. Since my wife came to USA after that she didnt get her xtension.
i forgot to file for her xtension.
I had to agn change the company C in Dec 06. Thats whn i realised her I-94 expired in Nov. I applied for her I 539. But it wasnt approved by INS.
I have decided to send her back before 180 days, because if she crosses 180 days, it can be a 3 yr ban.
She will have to go back to consulate now now for visa stamping. Will she have a problem?

Thank u
Why don't you apply your H1B in premium rather. Strictly speaking she has have gone out of status. But at the worst case, the USCIS will just approve her I-539 as non extension of status (which means she doesn't get a new I-94 with the extension and rather just gets a H4 approval and would be asked to go to the home consulate for visa stamping and reentry.) . Hence my bet would be to wait for her I-539 approval and then make the decision. But most likely her I-539 extension of status would be just approved (ie she would get a new I-94 with new extension date ) and she doesn't have to travel back to the consulate.

Hi,

Looking at your current thread and all other previous threads related to the same topic, it seems clear that you have to start calling the concerned department as to why you have not yet received your applicant's green card. Looks like it is being processed as we speak based on the "Note from VB" you have posted. It's still better to call and find out. I am not sure who and what number to call for FB visa enquiries - but the data you give appears that your application is "ripe" for the plucking. There are lots of thread here suggesting how to get an info pass to talk to an Immigration Officer face to face. Search for the threads.

When you pose a question, can i suggest -
1. Give all the information that the readers needs to answer. For ex: we don't know which country the applicant is chargeable to.
2. And give all information in one thread. Make up your mind what your concern is and post the question(s) in one thread. Try not to put some question out there and hope it sticks.

Good luck.

I am sponsoring to My In-laws next month for visiting next month. I am preparing documents for them. My questions is... What are documents required from my wife side? she is not working.

What should I send from her?

A letter from her (& you) inviting her parents addressed to them and to the consulate.
If she isnt working, all the other sponsorship documents have to come from you.

If you google this, you will get a ton of information on the specifics (forms and supporting documents).

Good luck :rolleyes:

Hi Experts,
On July 8th I filed my EAD. I never got any Finger Print Appointment from USCIS. I have been constantly trying to reach them about my FP appointment. But, on Sep 20TH I got a notice saying my petition has been denied because I have not appeared for my FP on Aug 3rd.

They asked me to file a motion, my confusion is should I file a motion or should I reapply. Which one makes it easy and fast to get my EAD ASAP.

Thanks,

What annoys me, is that the consulate delays the visa stamping and also keeps the passport. Seems to me that they deliberately keep the passport so that the candidate doesnt travel back on the AP. I was in similar situation in March 08 at the Mumbai consulate, after waiting for around 45 days I travelled back on the AP(back then they had not taken my passport)
Let us what happened to your cousin when you receive updates from him. Is he working as a consultant (paid by his employer) and working elsewhere ?

There have been cases reported in past on this forum where the PERM approval was lost in mail.

You should ask your employer to download the PERM approval from DOL ETA website, which should be completed and signed by both you and your employer (similar to the PERM paper approval that you did not receive).

Your lawyer should submit this form with I-140 and also request USCIS to obtain a duplicate copy of PERM approval from DOL. This may help.

Are you porting to EB2?

Yes i was hoping to port to EB2.

The issue is that the lawyer says that they will follow this process of dowloading the cert and request USCIS to get a dupe, but hey say they cannot do this under premium processing and will have to file under regular I140. this adds 6 months to the process and effectively eliminates any advantage since i hope to get my EB3 485 current by that time.

Friends,
I got LC and 140 approved in EB3. Now I refile my labor Cert in EB2 (IT manager) via PERM. Anybody has the same experience and know approximately processing time for this PERM to be approved. Thanks for any information.
do you know if you can retain your PD from your eb3 application for your new application..

It is true that immigration is not at all reason for unemployment. When unemployment increases that will decrease immigration to some extent. We could see that in h1b numbers and also illegal immigration. But future immigration will depend on how fast jobs are created when recovery starts.

From Business Week: A report released on Tuesday makes the case that increased immigration is not a cause of increased unemployment in the U.S. The study, �The Unemployment Disconnect: Untying the Knot,� was issued by the Immigration Policy Center, the research arm of the American Immigration Law Foundation, an association of immigration lawyers that generally supports pro-immigration policies. The study sets out with the assertion that if immigrants are taking jobs away from native-born workers, �one would expect to find high unemployment rates in those parts of the country with large numbers of immigrants.� Examining state, county, and metropolitan area...

Good luck on the 18th.

P.S: I can't go as I have a date with the court.

Excellent inspiration - everyone must now go to DC.

Hi All,

I have a question. I am working for a company on a H1-b visa status. And i applied for GC using a different company as future employment and i got my EAD and AP.

What is my stand here? Can i use the EAD and work a completely different company? or do i need to transfer my H1 to the company which did my GC?

Does AC21 apply here? (Because i haven't worked for the company at all who sponsored my GC)

Thanks,
Kris

I've read the first two chapters of the book. The first chapter provides an excellent insight into the history of Immigration. Although we had some knowledge of how things progressed in recent past, this book provides is an extremely relevant and detailed true description of the events, the bills in 1990s, 2006 and 2007, and so on.

For those of us who care about our green cards and large debate surrounding the issues affecting us, you will find this book learning and worthy experience.

Could anyone please respond to this???

Folks :

My paper EAD application has been rejected twice by USCIS. Here is the thread that discusses that :
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum70-self-filing-documents-forms-directions-mailing/1598364-ead-renewal-rejected-twice-need-advice.html

I have eFiled this time. So we'll wait and see.

I am now planning to request expedited processing of my application. For an expedited processing to be approved, it needs to satisfy atleast one of the following criteria according to USCIS...

1) Severe financial loss to company or individual
2) Extreme emergent situation
3) Humanitarian situation
4) Nonprofit status of requesting organization in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States
5) Department of Defense or National Interest Situation (Note: Request must come from official United States Government entity and state that delay will be detrimental to our Government)
6) USCIS error
7) Compelling interest of USCIS

I feel I am fall under the point 1) and point 6). The IO that I talked to over the phone told me to write to USCIS with appropriate documentation.

At this time, I would like to learn from you guys if anyone of you have applied for expedited processing, what criteria did you apply under and what was your experience with it.

Further, I would appreciate if you guys comment on the reason that I plan to apply under...Do guys think it will work?

Thanks!

i was on h4 , then i applied for new h1 and new ead( through from primary person ) at a time.

The above wiki page has data complied from previous demand datas.

Don't you get one from your employer each year. I received paper and soft copy of W-2 (the paper copy has atleast 4 copies) each year.

I do not know about I485...
but it is not hard to get copies of W2. IRS has a service that will give you copies of your fed tax papers including W2s in 60 days. You can also ask you employer, they ususlay keep a copy.

The author of that article is a Piece of S**T. Google about that guy - then you would know. He is an anti-immigrant

Computerworld is an anti-immigrant publication.

I'm in the same boat at NSC. My EAD/AP(Aug 10) got cleared, but I do not know what happened to I485(July 18) appln. I called uscis, they asked me to wait for 90 days. Pls let me know if you nay updates.
