You were out of status in those 5 months. It does not matter at LC and I-140 stages only at I-485. However upto 180 days of out of status is forgiven when you file your 485, so you should be ok. THis is IN CASE you get an RFE for this. There is a good chance USCIS might even overlook this. Also if you left the US and returned any time after tha tou tof status, your slate is wiped clean (they are only supposed to check your status since your last entry into the US). So either way you should be ok... dont worry about it.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your reply. I really appreciate it.

Well as you said if I went to India after those 5 months(when I was on bench) than that period of 5 months when I was on bench will be wiped out(it will be gone,clean). It means that USCIS will check my status after my last entry in to US!!
OR they may check everything when ever I was in US including when I was on bench(including my first entry into US to till date i.e. From Feb 2005 - Till date)????

I went to India in Nov 2006 & came back, so in that case my old records would be clean. B'cos I was on bench for 5 months in 2005.

Correct me if I am wrong on this.

Also as you said this will come in case of I-485 & USCIS might overlook this & may send RFE!! Any idea how to respond that kind of RFE??

I will really appreciate your response.

Thanks.

Hello everyone,
I went online to check the status of my I-485 and it displayed me the following message

Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Current Status: Document mailed to applicant.

On December 19, 2007 we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service.


What does it mean? Does it mean that I-485 is approved.

Pls guide.

I got similar message on my 485. in my case they resent response to SR to my new address. This is more likely change of address issue.
if you(or lawyer) have not changed address then contact USCIS.

Can I interfile even if PD is unavailable?
No. At the time of interfiling, the priority date should be current.

EVL = Employment Verification Letter

Usually the employer provides a letter on their letter head that the person is currently employed with them as XYZ. I usually get one before traveling outside US so that I can show it to IO in case they ask for it as proof of continued employment.

Thats why I recommend paper file.

My PERM LC got approved recently(two weeks back). In my case its MS+0 years. My attorney says this will qualify for EB2. MY job title is Computer Software Engineer.

Which center did you file PERM with and how long did it take to process? Any audits or business necessity documentation required?

Excellent. I am new in this cage..but I am proud to be here. I will definetly donate generously for 4 core for future lobbying. Also I would think..we need 2 avoid anti-immigration media such as CNN etc. I saw WSJ, Business Week, CNBC(Brian William news at 6.30), CNBC Maria, Washington post, New york time and some other local news paper helping us with covergae on this issue. We shouldn't be helping Lou dobb's kind of guys to boost his ratings. I decided to stay away from that chap!! and CNN. I know many of my friends regulary watch CNN and I advised everyone to switch to other channel..what u guys think. Once again congts all.. sleep well and enjoy..

Yes Shawine, you are right. In fact irrespective of IV's belief that likes of Lou Dobbs' can be ignored, I believe that they actually do significant damage in terms of swaying Americans away from our cause. I think it is essential to counter their agenda.

In fact am currently trying to find out how to set up an H1B fact check database wiki. Does someone know how to set up a free wiki?

i know FRA is abig airport hwoever I think 2 hrs is fine..

How many of you support this idea ?

Rally in DC in the morning and Fasting till 5PM in front of the capitol.

Why are we talking about rally all of a sudden?

Hello -- How long does it usually take to get access to the donor forum? I've signed up for recurring contributions to the effort via Paypal yesterday and wondering when i'll be able to get access. I am not sure if this is the right place to post this or not but just curious..

Admins -- I'd like to know as well please. I signed up for recurring contributions, send through a few emails to the admins. No response yet. Appreciate the access. Thanks

Dear Friends:
I also have a similar question on traveling abroad for 4 weeks with my 485 pending.
As you all know that when we applied our 485 AOS (EB-based) we had to also submit the copy of our latest 1-94 card (which I did). Now that I am leaving the US, I will be handing over the original 1-94 at the port of exit (a copy of which was submitted with the 485 application). Then when returing, I will be receiving another new 1-94. So my questions:

(a) Will I have to re-send the INS another copy of my new 1-94 when I return to the US (b) also might surrendering the old 1-94 and getting new one confuse my 485 records with the INS (c) Finally, do any of you know of anyone who with 485 pending, a valid H1B visa, and no Advanced Parole has had any problems returning back to the US?

Please advise, and that would be so appreciated. Regards.

its back to the same question: IS MBA worth the time and money!

facing stagnation ..in our eternal wait for GC...what are the risks of not pursuing an MBA in you want to further or change ur career later on!

its not all bad to pursue PT..provided u make the right concentration choice!

There are success and failues in Pt programs! My friend got his MBA (PT) from UIC ..nowhere in any list..;-)...and landed a job as a director of IT for a consulting firm...his benefits and all tops 180K..now..its up to you to figure out how big a paycheck makes you a happy man.;-)

There will always be the traditionalists who believe Old school MBA is the best!..but..how many desis have the luxury of stopping work and going FT.

both arguments are valid....but to succeed in PT..go by ur gut ..

duniya ..hope par chalithi hai.;)

my 2 cents!

You can simply use the tuition fees deduction on the front of the 1040 return. It will reduce your adjusted gross income. I have been using it for deducting my sons tuition for three years.

Yes, but it can only reduce your taxable income upto $4000. For those who are spending larger amounts towards education in graduate studies lifetime credit in my opinion is better option.

I am talking to my lawyer about that. They are pondering over it. I will let u guys know what they come up with.

Congrats bro. You deserve every bit of the green.

Thanks a lot for the links snathan. Is it possible to return to India at any stage of GreenCard processing and then come back to India once the EAD is approved.

It depends on your employer. If your employer supports and the job still available for you, yes...you can go to Indian and come back.

I went to stamping in Montreal on 10/10/06. No issues or problems. I also recommend to be prepared for a lot of questions, and take all the paperwork.

My visa was also expired in 2004. I got 3 years VISA stamp upon my 3 year extention approval.
Good Luck.

Koi shak? (Any doubts?)

We are lucky to have been the generation to have watched Sachin. Hope he keeps going for few more years.

I just bought a new D70 and was interested in getting some advise from current owners about additional lenses and accessories.

Was looking at buying a SB-800 flash. Is this the best option?

How about additional lenses? I have an 18-70mm AF that came with the camera.

I am looking for other nikkor lenses that are very handy to have, meaning won't sit in the bag most of the time.

Any other advice or help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Shawn
