Any one can share their experience about FP at newark ASC?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I too have the same problem, have sent the documents for filing I-485, mostly it will be filed before 17th Aug 2007. My passport is expiring on Dec 2007. I had sent it for renewal.

Will that be ok to file I-485 with old passport which would be expiring in Dec 2007?



thanks..

Pardon my ignorance.

What is op-ed ?

Your insurance company will give you that letter....no specific amount but stating that international coverage is there. I have used that letter for Schengen visa in German consulate 4 times and it has worked well.

Has anybody recently applied for a Schengen Visa, if yes, can you please let me know what you did for the travel insurance. The insurance from my employer (Humana) says they cover international but do not have a letter that states the same and Swedish consulate website says the letter should specifically say "International Coverage".

What are my options. Can you guys suggest where I can buy the insurance from.

I am wondering why it is that nobody knows whether a bill will be introduced in Sept. The house and senate have their timetables set long in advance.

Also, if it goes beyond Nov, and the Dems win, they might forget all about us; they care far more for the illegals, unfortunately.:(

We must try to get this passed before the elections in Nov.

Its bound to happen. Everyone thinks others will do it, and they dont care(dont want to make any efforts) even though they really want GCs from their inside. Howver we will still find some people who care for this cause and will join the group. so its worth trying.

thanks again for at least trying.

Are you sure democrats are not listening to republican suggestions? Healthcare debate has been going on for over 1 year. In my 8 years in US, never has been so much time given to debate any single issue. Most of the key provisions in the bill were Republican ideas including tax cuts, coverage for preexisting condition etc. Republicans are taking bribes from insurance companies for stalling the healthcare bill. If democrats did not want to include republicans then they could have passed healthcare bill last year when democrats had super majority in the Senate, before Scott Brown's election. All throughout last year democrats have been trying to get republicans on board. Republican party have stalled the entire government. Now with no other choice, after debating healthcare for more than 1 year, republicans want to restart the entire discussion. This is appalling.

Keeping all tradition, Healthcare bill passed with with filibuster proof majority in the Senate. House passed their own bill with majority. House is now trying to pass Senate bill. Then House and Senate will do reconciliation of the House bill and Senate bill in the conference committee. Every bill has to go through conference committee. After conference committee they will again pass the final bill in the House and the Senate with majority vote. What is wrong with this process? Every republican senator was elected with 50% majority. No one asked republican senators to prove 60% vote. Why can't the Senate pass a bill with 51 votes after passing through the filibuster test of 60 votes when that is how others bills pass? So many large bills including Patriot act were passed with 50 Senate votes + 1 vote of Dick Cheney after the conference committee.

There was no immigration bill last year because of healthcare debate. Republican party is a party of no and they don't want to see anything done.

Healthcare is festering because a lot of democratic party members have been bought off by the insurance lobby and they want to "discuss , debate endlessly etc" to create a stalemate
and thereby kill the bill.

"debate endlessly" is another way of blocking

By the way thats how CIR gets killed and will get killed if tabled.

AC21 was passed in stealth as it was piecemeal...bypassing a lot of process.

My brother is a Physical Therapist. His employer filed I485/I140 concurrently last week. His I140 was not filed under premium processing as the employer said that it is a waste of money as the GC will not come in a months time ( as the retrogression took place from Nov 2006). But then would he get his EAD or not? Any thoughts please?

Sorry I am posting this on multiple threads (because there are so many!)

I had applied under EB-2 category and my priority date is: 3/3/2006.
My I-485 was filed on 8/2/2007.
My I-485 was approved and I received my Green Card on Aug 15th 2008. Surprisingly and rather unfortunately, there was no action on my wife's I-485. My wife�s case was submitted with my own case on 8/2/07. The TSC at that time reported that �normal� processing time is 7/16/2007. So basically I got mine out of turn or by chance. The TSC protocol permits attorneys to inquire regarding the status of an I-485 beyond normal processing time if the receipt date is more than 30 days beyond the published processing date. So we could not inquire about my wife's application and soon the priority date changed back.

She has an EAD approved until Oct 2010. She is currently employed. I am also employed with my first company and have been with them for 5 yrs now.

My questions are:
1. What happens to my wife's I-485 application, should I choose to leave my job and go back to school ?
2. Will her EAD still be valid if I leave my job ?
2. I am planning to go full-time starting Fall 2010. Will we be able to renew her EAD independent of my work status ?

Thanks a lot for your time and attention,

By the way, I got my EAD. I don't want to spend money

You can start to earn money instead by filling those stupid forms for somebody else... You got EAD, open you secondary business....:D

I heard I-140 premium processing has been restarted. Is it true?

Where did you hear this? Can you please let us in on your source(s)?

The antis regularly say that unathorized immigrants get a range of public benefits but don't pay any taxes. Not so. They're paying $8.4 billion a year in sales taxes and $1.2 billion in income taxes. And they don't get most public benefits. They get public schools for their kids and emergency rooms can't turn them away. That's pretty much it. In the mean time, a company that earned $14 billion in profits last year paid zero taxes.

More... (http://blogs.ilw.com/gregsiskind/2011/04/unauthorized-immigrants-paid-11-billion-in-taxes-last-year-ge-paid-non.html)

$1.5 Billion in income taxes, is the amount the 64,000 new H1bs pay every year and I assume a similar or larger sales tax.

Ok lets average $11 billion into 22 million illegals - A whopping contribution of $50 per head in income tax per year

I'm not even thinking of the remaining 500,000+ people in the legal employment immigration queue

I don't agree with more fees for 485 etc ...

They are already taking too much money out of us ...
Then lets just sit tight and hope everything would be done for us without shelling one extra dollar.

Come on guys, we need to see this from the Govt's point of view too. What's in it for them to even begin considering the plight of us??

same person, same time :)

I thought as per the new memo it is advisable to extend your non-immigrant status even if you have filed your AOS and work on EAD.

I know many people who were on H4 and started working as soon as they filed AOS and got EAD's, now in this case there I-94 issued for H4 is still valid.
When their spouse extended their H1B's, they did also extend the H4 petition to get new I-94's.

Like the attorney mentioned, you can't maintain H4 and AOS status at the same time. You can file for H1 to H4 COS but as soon as you use your EAD and start working, you will lose your H4 status. Having a valid H4 I-94 does not mean you still maintain H4 status. You can't work on H4, period. EAD gives you authorization to work based on your pending I-485, but then using your EAD will put you back in AOS pending/Parolee status. Hope this helps...

thank you for the responses. it does seem to be a bit of bad luck. i only have 20 days before my I-94 expires. are they very strict about when it expires or do i get a grace period?

for the first option (going out of the country), i need to get a mexican permit to enter mexico and that takes 10 working days to receive. that would leave me with about 1 day in which to fly to mexico and get a new I-94.

for the second option (I-539), that takes 45 days to process, so my I-94 will expire and i wont have a new one yet, even though i've applied for it.

if there's a grace period (is there one??) i might take the USCIS option since it'll be cheaper than flying to mexico.

thanks again for the help.

I am in same situation. MTR approved to reopen 485 but online status not changed still shows 'denial notice sent'.

bkn96 - Can you pls tell me how long the processing took to approve the MTR. Greatly appreciate your help in this matter.

from immigration-law.com
The period of 14 months may be a long time for the immigrants but a short time for the agency to eliminate tons of complicated labor certification applications.
Well. We have been waiting for so long that every day is a torture. 14 months IS a LOOOONG time on top of it. what have they been doing beforet this 14 months?

And what are your filing details?

Here are the statistics on the contributions so far on Immigration Voice.

http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=25#CollectionsSoFar

We have collected more than $5,000 in just 2 days. We have an initial target of $100,000. We can definitely achieve this if we can get 1000 members contributing $100 each to meet this target.

In that page we also have a section on how the funds are being overseen.

All, do not think that others will do the contribution. We need your contributions now to start lobbying!!!

Even PERM is Baclogged.......per my lawyer Atlanta is taking 6 months.....Amazing

that is not a backlog in the sense of retrogression based backlog. That is like any other processing time for any other type of application
