Seems like a lot of people are waiting........
hopefully things will move fast...........

Sorry I was away from my computer for a while.

Thanks for all your help Guys.
We are talking to Lawyer, Murthy law today.

It's an employment based.
This case of I-485 is 2004.
We talked to USCIS and they say to wait for notice and they do not have nay reason to tell over phone as they do not have access to NOTICE.

Hope Lawyer comes out with something.

THank you all
Great help and moral support from all of you at Immigration VOice.

curious: have you hired Murthy's lawfirm now or have they been handling your case all along?

Do keep us posted on this. All the best! Hope it all works out for you...

Yes I did.
Did you take original 485 receipt with you?

tnx

i founded it on ps7
:D

When I filed my 485, I gave My company address in all the applications. My company is in Washington State.

But I am actually working in California from past 7 years. The only place that I specified my current california address is in G325 (485 supporting document).

Also I move within california after filing 485.

Because I gave my company address in all the 485 applications, I did not even change my address in any of the applications. I only filed AR11 online for the address change. Advantage with online is, you will get a confirmation number.

That is what my company recomended me.

I got my EAD and all other receipts to the company address.

Waiting for AP and FP mails.

I also heard from my company that, my company will receive the finger print notice but the appointment office will be in california.

Hope this helps you.

I had got my EB3 priority date recaptured in EB2 I140 filed latter .After doing this ,I asked my lawyer to interfile the case (ask them write a letter to USCIS to convert my earlier filed I485 application in EB3 to EB2) .

My attorney said that ,this can only be done when priority date is current.But some people in similar condition ,told me that this interfile application can be written, even if the priority date is not current as there is no written procedure for it specified by USCIS .
And it is better to send that application ASAP ,as it might help my green card processing time ,since after getting that interfile application ,USCIS might go ahead and do the other procedures on it like name check and other check etc .My priority date is in EB2 India and 2 months away from this month priority dates announced by USCIS.

I have two questions
1)can the interfile application for I485 ,as specified above ,be send to USCIS ,even if the priority date is not current .

2)can it be send twice that is now when priority date is not current and latter when priority date becomes current ?

Best regards and thanks for helping !

just checking if any lucky ones have received a approval for their h1b petitions this year !!!

As I said earlier, i don't know how to add more options to this poll. If you know then tell me the options and I will add more options for EB3-I till date or may be for future dates if you like that.

The above statement is incorrect. You will have to re-file the LC in addition to the I-140 for a port. There is some more info on Eb3 to Eb2 here: Upgrading from EB3 to EB2 (http://www.imminfo.com/Library/green_cards/EB/upgrading_eb3_eb2.html)
Oops sorry about that. Thanks for correcting. These things are extremely complicated.:confused:

Great post. Timely too since, most of us here, need to renew EADs/APs soon; keeping the typical 3-4 months of USCIS delay in mind.

My case details below:
EB3 INDIA
PD of Jul 2004.
I am still working for same GC sponsoring employer since last 5 years. I still perform the same job title/job duties as mentioned in labor.
My employer had mentioned a salary of 87,000$ in my labor.
My 485 was filed way back in Sep 2004.
My 140 was approved way back in Nov 2004.
Thanks.

You should be fine as long as your W2's are higher than what is specified in H1 LCA.

You GC Labor Wages are for furure job.

Thanks,

First of all, lets hope nothing happens to you. At this time i suggest waiting, something might come up later this year or early next year with reference to making use of unused visa numbers, if this happens, your wifes date will become current and her I-485 will get approved. Unfortunately the petition dies with the petitioner. However in the case of family based I-130 petitions, The Attorney General may in his discretion reinstate the approval of your family-based visa. The Attorney General may exercise favorable discretion where "for humanitarian reasons revocation would be inappropriate." 8 C.RR. Sec. 205.1(a)(3)(i)(C).

Thank you for your valuable input.
So in other words, visa numbers for the entire family are NOT assigned right away with the family if one has to go for an interview. The worst part was that the interview was due to a missing medical which was filed by us but misplaced by USCIS.

Re. 8 C.RR. Sec. 205.1(a)(3)(i)(C) is for Family based visa, hers is EB based (piggy backing on mine) Does this mean I should really consider filing a 130 to convert to family based?

Congressman can't help in ending this "humanitarian" trauma while I am still alive?

I am in New York, if any other New York members want to register, we can do it on the July 14th NYC drive.

Hello..

My Visa get expire on Sept 2009. I want to travel india on month (June) and coming back on June. Do i need to stamp my visa for coming back?. Also My visa in the name of company A. and i left the company moved to company B and then Company C. Now my H1 is with company C and its valid till 2011 November. Can i use the same Visa for reentry to US when i am coming back on May/June. Please give your answers ASAP.

Thanks

For re-entering your left over time is sufficient, however if you ever want to travel out of US again you might need to go back to a consulate for visa issuance.

- cheers
kris

i sent u PM.

Mr.Smuggy - Easy buddy. Relax.

I am not as bright as you. I am trying to understand how it works. Since you know it all, what if Company A cant get me a job after i got GC and Company C is ?

Hearing on Wasted Visas, Growing Backlogs (http://judiciary.house.gov/oversight.aspx?ID=435)

By Direction of the Chairman

Are you sure she is 2 months away in getting her visa number current? For example if her priority date is Jan 1st 1998 and they are currently processing Nov 1st 1997. It seems like you mother will be current in 2 months but it could take USCIS 2 years to move forward 2 months in processing. Processing dates don't move by calendar time.

Maybe I am misunderstanding your question. If so please ignore the above.

If she has been out of the country for any significant amount of time during the 6 years she can file an extension for that time. I would not recommend that she continue to work if the H1 has expired and I think you should consult an attorney to figure out her options.

Hey thx a lot guys for all your help....
To (M306M),

Your story does not look credible to me.

Why are you working for an illegal. How did you get your I140 approved working for such an employer? Are you an anti immigrant trying to get members tell you some illegal ways.

You cannot get your Labor or I140 approved via a phoney employer. All these are legal processes and lot of checks happen. I find something wrong in your story.

If you still feel it is credible, then with such problems, you need a legal advice not a forum advice.


Maybe there is a confusion, what I think it is illegal is the contract, the employer is legal, that is way I obtained the visa and the I140.

I did reply same questions from many people before.
Give me green.

About ADIT:
ADIT=Alien Documentation Identification & Telecommunication Systems.
Could mean biometrics not up to date or just stamp in passport.
Either way they will tell you what they want.

ADIT (I-551) stamping

�
Applicant appears at local USCIS for ADIT processing, as outlined in AOS approval letter. Applicant will not be scheduled for an ADIT appointment, ADIT processing is done by "walk-in" basis ONLY.

�
Once the applicant adjusts his/her status by completing ADIT processing, s/he is given the I-551 permanent resident stamp in his/her passport.

This is the time to channelize all your frustration into positive energy. Yes, we can collective work towards ending retrogression.
