Hello,

What happens if someone who has a pending employment based I-485 (EB3/ROW/PD:03/07, July 07 Filer) is selected for the Green Card DV Lottery?

Does any of you guys know someone who has been through this?

Thanks!

any comments pl

I would suggest to plan in 3 months advance so that you can send all the documents from usa, prepare documents in India and planning the trip.

If anyone needs a B1 visa frequently asked questions and answers pls send me a PM.

Rajesh

You're better to stick to well knowns TIA, I got my Canon 400D from B&G at a great price and they are DEFINATELY on the up and up...

Dear All,
In response to my service request on 9th Sept 2009, my I485 has been transferred to the USCIS Hialeah Florida office for further processing. Normally I -485 cases are forwarded to local offices for the purposes of scheduling an in-person interview. In my case I live in New York and no way connected to FL. I am curious anybody or any of your friend�s have similar experience.
I really appreciate your response.
I 485 EB 2 Priority date Dec 2003
Filed in TSC in August 2007

Thank you,

It is best to not do anything while on the B visa, and relinquish the B status, then either re-enter on a stronger intent visa (H1/H4 or L1) and then file 485 or file the 485 from outside the country.


Agree with what mihir is telling here. Just a minor correction - 485 can be filed only when one is present in the US.

Thank You!!!

No point in dreaming about getting any support from dems, they will bring up DREAM act for illegals and will hold legals hostage until CIR.

Our best chance is to get support from the republican pro-legal immigration senators like - Cornyn, Kyl, Judd Greg etc..

I second this. How about getting our members to contact them by phone or mail for support?

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
For years now, Congress has debated whether to pass the DREAM Act. The DREAM Act would give a future to undocumented youth through a conditional path to citizenship and it would have legalized people like Tam Ngoc Tran who died earlier this week in a tragic car accident.

Tam was a native of Garden Grove (http://blogs.ocweekly.com/navelgazing/illegals-illegals-illegals/tam-tran-garden-grove-native-a/), California, born in Germany to Vietnamese refugees. She was pursuing a doctorate at Brown University (http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/obituaries/articles/2010/05/17/tam_tran_brown_student_fought_for_immigrant_rights/). She was a graduate of UCLA, and she was a tireless DREAM Act Advocate, having testified before Congress in favor of its passage.

Tam, herself was undocumented and found removable by an immigration judge who denied her and her family political asylum. On appeal, the Board of Immigration Appeals found that the family could not return to Vietnam because of fear of political persecution, so the US could not remove the family to Vietnam. Having been born in Germany, the government sought to remove her to her birthplace, yet Germany refused to grant her entry. Tam was stateless. The only home she knew was the United States.

This tragic accident took the life of another passenger, a fellow UCLA graduate and DREAM Act activist, Cinthya Felix. Fong & Chun, LLP offers condolences to the families of both Tam and Cinthya. --ecf

We, July 2 filers, just got our receipts. So you are not that bad. After 90 days wait, you are entitled to ask for an investigation, but, as it appears, USCIS is not yet fully finished with all the receipts for July-Aug filers. They said that they will be done with it by month end. You may want to wait until then.

My Lawyer said that the Premium Processing for I-140 will be again available from 08/16/2007, he said he knows that 100%. Did someone have some information about this ??. Can this be true??

There's no set time for getting a greencard. It depends on which EB category you're in and the visa bulletin's priority dates.

Hi all,

Please reply/share experience.

What is minimum duration at which one must get paid at I-140 rate after GC? (after which rate can safely be lesser)

Thank you.

thanks guys...

I will take this oppurtunity to thank everyone who showed the courage by joining us at Washington DC.

It was a great pleasure meeting all the people from the New England area. I finally got a chance to put a face to all the names with whom i have talked on conference calls. This was just an amazing experience and i am hoping we will get a chance to have more such experiences and we will keep on continuing our efforts till the time we get the system fixed.

Folks, the rally was a huge success. The situation room (15th, 16th, 17th) was an example of all the positive energy which was builing up for the rally.
The reception(17th) was a showcase of IV. The rally(18th) was the final bang.

But inspite of having so many people affected from the GREEN CARD delays from the New England area, we just had a few folks show up at the rally. This was really disappointing.

I am sure there must be a very good reason for that. But if you have any doubts, we will really like to talk to you and clarify your doubts.

As i always say.

GO IV GO

Has anyone heard about the immigrant advocacy groups that are planning a protest march on Washington one day after Obama's inaguration. They plan to demand that immigration raids stop and that immigration reform be taken up during the first 100 days of Obama's administration (while recognizing that the economy comes first)

The marches are apparently being organized by the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA). These news are very fresh and thus far I have only seen it on Spanish language media (3 different online newspapers). Here is the note in Spanish: http://www.chirla.org/node/246

Should we march ourselves for legal immigrants? Send flowers? The inaguration and following days will be very visible.

Hello!

My H1B got expired in Sep 2010, ( applied for transfer before expiry), got RFE and finally approval last week, but 797 form has the validity from current date(approved date) instead of requested date in Sep 2010. So now is the period from sep 2010 to 797 approved date is considered as out of status or how it is? I have paystubs during this time and on job all the time. Any implications while going for h1b stamping in India and or at port of entry and in future GC.

Any inputs are apprciated. Thanks!

If I remember correctly, you are allowed to work for 240 days from the receipt date while your case is pending. If the approval does not come within 240 days, you have to stop working and wait for the approval. You are NOT considered out-of-status as long as your petition was filed before the current H1 expired.

Hi.

I am planning to invoke AC21 via H1B.

My old employer have no issues continuing the same attorney for my future needs.

My new employer asked me to go with their attorney... but I am planning to go with my old guy who applied my 485.

Can I pay AC21, future expenses etc charges from my pocket since I am going with my old attorney.

Is it OK to me paying fees for the GC instead of Employer? Or I shud go with New company Attorney?

Appreciate your help on this.

On your I-485 approval, H4 status is lost and no longer valid.

Incorrect!

If the person is out of country while on H1/H4 and I-485 is approved, he/she can enter USA on valid H1/H4 visa stamp and will be offered Deferred Inspection. In most cases, they have to report within 7-14 days to local USCIS for passport stamping.

I suggest that you get more details about Deferred Inspection with your attorney.
