Come on let's be positive:

EB2 will move to December 2005 within a year.
EB3 will move to December 2003 within a year.

POSITIVE is good for the soul REALISTIC is more important for planning.

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?

and you thought only BEC are the only ones messing up...

we recently received 1 year EAD. I called USCIS regarding incorrect Validity period. They told me the send the I765 form again along with original EAD for fixing it.

Anybody doing this?

Regarding your 1st issue...My lawyer advised me to attach the scan copy with 485, but definately have the originals in hand in case there is a RFE.

I don't want to take a chance, so Iam asking my parents to send it through 2nd day fedex as well. It will cost me maybe another Rs 2-3000, but what the hell..

Hello All,

I am from India and I am getting ready to file my 485 in 1st week of July. I have an approved 140.

I have two issues I am not sure about how to procced --

1. My wife's name is wrong in her birth certificate. also, my mother's name is not present in my birth certificate. I am getting both of our parents to execute affidavits. Do these affidavits need to be originals when I submit them with my 485 appln? Or my folks in India can scan them and email me and I can submit copies with my 485 appln?

2. My passport is expiring in Oct 2007. Some people have mentioned that your passport needs to be valid for six months at the time you file for your 485 appln. Is this true? I have not found a definitive answer anywhere.

Please let me know if you know anything about these questions. Appreciate all your responses.

Thanks.

I received the very heartbreaking news that my EB3 PERM application filed OCT 2007 (with audit) was denied. Audit was requesting a copy of the Newspaper AD which the lawyer sent last NOV 2007. Reson for denial was because the copy that the DOL recieved was not clear and some words as part of the Newspaper name was missing.... An appeal will be filed soon.

Any suggestions from the gurus?

I have bachelors with more than 5 years of experience, is it adviseable to file new PERM under EB2 category?

For people who filed motion or an appeal, could you please post your feedbacks/experiences?

also, im on my 7th yr extension and it will expire on FEB2010... will I have problems with my extension?

Anyone guys...?

I've to decide fast what to do....get the H4 stamped from India or do the COS from US. If we go to India and get the H4 stamping there is a chance that the consulate people might ask about H1 and if they found that my wife was out of status they might bar her from entering US.

let me know if anyone has the same case or gone through this.

Thanks

I log in every day to see whats happening with my I-140 , Mine filed in september and the processing date moved only 15 days in last month. It took 2.5 years to complete the labor and I think I am struck in I-140 here...

Any one received I-140 approvals recently ? I just want to know what is your receipt date

I changed jobs recently and retained my attorney from previous employer even though I had the option of using the current employer's attorney for free. The reason being

1. I had good relationship with my previous attorney.
2. I never know when my dates (EB-I 06/03) will be current and in case of a layoff or future job change, we need to update USCIS with the new attorney information which I thought will raise a few eyebrows and was not comfortable with this option.
3. Even though you change attorney and send the updated details to USCIS, chances are that they don't update the system and any RFE or information may still get sent to the original attorney that filed your I-485.

Note, that I am not suggesting you one way or the other, these are the reasons for making my decision, hopefully this will help you make an informed decision.

Thanks.

Congratulations to all the winners!
this was really exciting :)

Another op-ed should be coming soon in another media

This is not an " go as you like" game in some 3rd world lawless Immigration Dept.... As long as we have Provided Initial evidence and you have Proof of that - who will dare to reject your case under the current legislations ??

Now what they can do is Probably re-define the word "Initial Evidence" and overload it little more. That wont even matter because your/mine "IE" should be taken from the Doc that was in place during July 2nd - Right ??

What do you say ??

nothing seems to be moving forward...and this is the last week for Aug 17th...so the more # of rejections/denials without possibility to reapply/re-appeal the less burden or number of applications they will have to process...my thoughts!

RoseBall,, here is my query..Please answer


I got RFE on 140 asking

all my expereince letter proir to 2002 ( I came US in 1999) and By the time I worked with two companys.

Now I got one company exp letter and other one closed and I couldn't able to get the letter. as per sources and attorney advice I am submitting coleague affidavit.

and also they asked me all w2's where I worked only few months in 2004 and w2 amount is not that great.

I am still fearing how do USCIS take in to consideration when they finalise the case.

Do you think all these are substantiate my case , or they may come with another RFE or denial..

Please advise me what I want to do, I haven't submitt my case yet.

Thanks

You should be okay on the exp letters, but it will be your 2004 W2 that may turn out to be an issue.

If you have been without pay from longer than 6 months in 2004, then you have a serious status issue and you will need to check with a good attorney to handle that..

My recommendation is to get a good immi attorney who has handled these kinds of cases before and have them do your paperwork....

Thqnks for the reply...whats interesting is today I called 2 different camera places by me and pretended I was interested in the same kit I have and BOTH told me that the 70s camera body supports the sigma lens' I have - In fact they were putting together a package that included the very seme lens'

Im new to digital SLR's ...but I would think based on this info I have a bad camera body


Of course Nikon can't help support third party lenses. They have a specification (that isn't available to others) that specify how the interface between the camera and the lens should work - but the can't change that specification (or change what the camera does) in order to support other manufacturers lenses. If they really wanted other manufacturers to make lenses to work on Nikon, they would perhaps publish (or license) the specification. But I don't think Nikon is particularly interested in doing so.

Sigma, however, has made it their business to reverse engineer the interface between the camera and the lens, without the access to the specification. They therefore are responsible (even if they plead not so) for any malfunction between the two. However, one of the problems with reverse engineering is that you can only see what's being used at any particular time - the spec may well have some variations that aren't used in a particular setup, but allows for future expansion. This is where Sigma will have a problem when Nikon brings out a new/different camera model.

The firmware for the lens should be possible to upgrade, assuming it's a case of just not understanding some command or such.

Friends,
Has anyone else come accross this problem? I wanted to remitt funds to India and when I logged in to SBI GLS web site I got the following message:

Due to regulations applicable in your state of residence in USA, we regret that, at present, we are unable to continue offering SBI Express Remit - US (our product using direct debit facility through ACH) till further notice.
We are engaged in meeting the state's current regulatory requirements, and it will be our endeavor to restore to you at the earliest the convenience you have been enjoying. Meanwhile, you may use the aid of Rapid Remittance (Web-assistance for tracking wire transfers) when you use wire transfer from your bank to send funds to your beneficiary accounts in India.
Please mail any of your queries to our customer support team at

Also the remittance options menu has disappeared.

I am also facing the same issue and when I open up the page same message pops up. I don't know if it is something to do with VA state. Have been using Click2Remit(Kotak) and Remit2India for the time being.

he doesn't wanna switch his job. So I don't think he would buy-in this idea of yours. But porting his EB3 PD to EB2 would be the smartest move as the retrogressing is really really killing all of us.

Got the email this morning...

EB2I
PD : 10/04
RD : 07/02/07

Beat the 10 year deadline by couple of months :)

Priderock, congratulations on your obtaining the coveted GC. Can you please update your profile to reflect India as your country of chargeability? Also, additional details in your profile will be very helpful.

Good luck and congrats again!

I am also on the same boat. Can anyone please post the links to get all application forms for filing I485/EAD/AP . Thanks in advance.
