Gurus,
First of all sorry to open a new thread. My PD is March 06 EB2. My i-485 reached uscis on July 2.

Is it advisable to change jobs? I'm planning to join bearing point consulting comp where they would start GC only after one year. As you guys know consulting job is quite unsecured. Only advantage with the new company is career growth.

Or should I wait for the outcome of lawsuit


please advise

Hi-

I am applying for my EAD/AP renewal. The received date on my I-485 notice is Aug 2007. According to USCIS, if you filed after July 30 2007, you are not required to include a Fee.

I am looking at my receipt notices and I feel like I payed under the old fee structure and should include the fee. Here are the amounts
I-485 : $395.00
I-765 : $180.00
I-131: $170.00

Can someone please advice if I need to include the fee for AP and EAD renewal.

Thanks

Your PD is May 2005 EB2...you did not get your GC?

Dear IV members,

We have a very big media opportunity to have our voices heard. A high profile reporter is writing a story with a slighly different angle by covering the immigration plight of our muslim members.

IV does not ask or maintain data on religion/faith/ethinicity of our members and we do not differentiate members based on such criterias.

However it is a need of this reporter and we wish to help in getting this story out in a major newspaper with immigration issues we are fighting for.

If you have a compelling story and you are a muslim IV member, please contact me or Salil (raydhan@immigrationvoice.org) from IV core ASAP with your contact and a brief detail about your plight.

what happenes if my lawyer does not send tax return with I-485?

Just to let everyone know if any of you encounter the same issue -

called up USCIS Customer Service and spoke to them about this error. They said to mention this in the Cover Letter (When I send the supporting docs) as a mistake that happened while filing the EAD and what the correct answer should be. They said it'll be then taken care of.

Am going to do accordingly!
Thanks

Anybody from MD interested in meeting representatives?

I have been part of the recent advocacy efforts in DC and feel that we need to continue the momentum. If any one is interested in meeting Congressmen/women and Senators, please reply in this thread.

Thanks for the pictures and your blog.

This is exactly the problem. There are a lot of house straight head Republican's who won't give up their anti-immigration position. Because of their existence, anything on this issue that wants to pass need Democrats vote.

The House operates very differently from the Senate. If Republicans in the House are behind a bill the Democrats in that chamber are powerless to block it.

@zamoo: due to the family emergency, i have already used my FMLA for the current year. thats the reason, i dont see any option. But u are right in suggesting that i should not take any drastic measures. i am still in the process of iscussing my options with my hr dept.
@rams75: I have also considered the counsular processing option. But in case they ask for a employers letter, i will not be able to provide.
Thanks for ur time and advice.

Port of entry doesn't matter. You can leave from JFK and come back through California. It totally depends on your airlines and the route you choose. I have done it many times.

Not sure about 2months left on your visa thing. I don't have any comment on that.

OH thank you for that reply! I hope this will indeed be the case.

I have no clue where I left my brain that day, amazing how one can make such a stupid mistake when things really matter.

my i-94 is abt to expire in 7.5 months time... due to passport expiry date, though my H1B is valid for 1+ more year...how soon can i renew my I-94,? I understand i have to renew my passport first in order to get the I-94 renewed.

Feel free to email me or call me

I would refer you to the Sept. Attorney call transcript under the Members only section. I believe this question or something similar was answered there by Sonal Verma. In a nutshell, if the job requires higher qualifications that satisfy EB2 requirements only then can the petition be filed under EB2. That being said, the education equivalency may make your case a bit difficult because as per the transcript, the USCIS of late has been taking a stance that a combination of degrees will not be considered as equivalent to a US Bachelors or Masters.

Please refer to the transcript and if you are not satisfied, please submit your question for the next attorney conference call.

Thanks Vamshi , No worries just curious .

I rather most of us achived what ever we achevied in hard way , so I know from the begining I will get GC in the hard way .

Totally agree with you here Snathan!
But other than peace of mind is there any other benefit, especially considering my case?

Visa bulletin date is set to April 01 for Oct 09 bulletin. For Sep 09 bulletin, EB3 is U

A friend of mine has PhD in aeronautics from a top tier university here in US. He will be soon starting teaching in a university and planning to file his GC under EB-1.
Are there any risks in getting I-140 approved under EB-1? or just having a PhD does not automatically qualify anyone under EB-1 category.?
Since he is born in India so reluctant to file under EB-2 due to endless wait.

Generally, Just having a Phd degree is not enough to file for EB1. Every case is different, sometimes, it depends on the field of study also - so, consulting an experienced attorney is recommended.

a fax from india or a letter from your local doctor will do.
take it to local uscis office and you should get it within hours.
