My PD of Dec. 2004, I think it will be late 2010 before I see my date current. I hope we atleast see May 2007 visa bulletin dates in May 2008.

PD Aug 2004, EB-2 India
I-140/I-485 applied - August 2007 at TSC (non-concurrent)
I-140 approval - March 2008
Spouse 485/AP/EAD applied - August 2008 (received receipt notices)
Self EAD applied - August 2008 (received receipt notices)

Till date I have not received my FP notice. I applied for my EAD (even though I am not planning on using it) hoping to jump start my pending 485 and get the things rolling for FP and processing of 485. Surprisingly, I got my EAD approval email on Aug 17th and I received my EAD card in the mail yesterday. It is valid for 2 years. It says finger prints not available. No change in the pending 485 status.

I am totally perplexed about receiving the EAD without FP and so is my attorney. Can someone give me an idea of what is going on? Any input is appreciated! Thanks much!

I will donate 100 dollars if they make any changes in DREAM Act wrt to Employment based immigration.
Even I participated in the campaign, but I don't think it will impact anything for us.

EAD applied on June 04, 2008
EAD production ordered June 27, 2008
EAD received July 03, 2008

Received FP notice today. The online tracker says following:

Current Status: Case received and pending.

On September 11, 2007, we received this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case.

My lawyer confirmed that the application was posted on august 2nd 07.

Can anyone help me figure out when is my receipt date? And from which date can I start counting 6 months to file ac21 ?

Here is the updated spreadsheet

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=p96kObnZMpVWFczU3Fn9GTQ&hl=en

Google spreadsheet gurus, can anyone let me know how to make it editable by everyone accessing the thread, so that it can be updated by them directly.

If that is not doable anybody willing to pitch in some help to keep updating this from time to time as the thread grows ?

My problem is simple.. do not misrepresent the facts, which is what seems to be the case here.. How can you have a H1 and not get paid??? Do you have any other logical reasoning? If the person has H1 and is not getting paid then there can only be two lawful situations: 1) person is on leave of absence, which is without pay or 2) has not yet started the job.

To answer your questions, yes my wife came here on H4 but she just did not approach a consultant for a job.. instead she went to school, got her degree, applied for jobs, gave interviews and finally got a job. BTW her company does not work with consultants, as it is not an IT company but a finance Big4. They used their own attorney to file for her H1. As luck could have, her application was not even considered as it did not come in the lottery draw. This happened twice.. Later we got our EAD and she started working with it. And yes, I know few more people who went through the same thing.. and all of them went to school in the US.

sathweb, I don't have anything against you or anyone else here on IV.. I feel bad when people look down on H1 visa holders as they think everyone is exploiting the system, which you know is not true. Some people misrepresent their cases and we all get bad name.

What�s your problem man? You are mad because your wife did not get H1B/Job? What do you say to a American citizen who is saying that you took his job? It�s all part of the game. Everyone is trying to improve their life.

How can you tell your wife is better? Your wife is doing exactly the same, converting from H4 to H1B. Did she have job offer when she came to USA? You must have come through some consulting company, what kind of offer letter you had when you came to US?

Everyone is playing by the rules, otherwise we would not have been here. dont think you are the only one playing by the rules.
How can you tell he/she is representation false?

People like you are the ones who are dividing the community.

It does not matter, you have to show +ve outlook, to perform and brings results - this is key to survival. Well, it is too personal, but:

- I give one hour to body, mediatation, exercise, yoga
- Sometimes I go to temple, spend 10-15 minutes

As I mentioned, it is personal, different people will have different approach, as everyone is steering through. I am not sure how much it is going to help - sharing of information on this front.

A question about CIR. Currently isin't it more beneficial for anti-immigrants to just ensure that absolutely NOTHING is done to CIR? That way the Senate version of CIR never sees the light of day, but since it doesnt die either, no other legislation can come into place.

I guess my question is, how & when exactly does CIR "die"/get phased out of the picture so that other legislations may be considered?

Tell me what wrong he did for him to apologize and I will apologize to you. When nothing is permanent he worked with them for 1 and half years, he got them 4 employees. Why in the world should he apologize?.

When you say that you will not need your clients you are wrong. when I was searching for projects I got a chance to apply to a job opening in one of my previous client, guess what, the start to my second stint was smooth just because I had a good rapport with my client and they liked my work. I even got one of my team mates in my client place to give me a referral for my higher studies.

"Your ex boss is not a bad guy, he knows you are leaving for better opportunity".He is not only a bad guy, he is evil IF (note the big IF) he is keeping the money which is not his. Their conscience should prick when they feed and give excellent education to their kids with the ill gotten money.


Unfortunately one might need his ex-employer in future (might not always be the case) and that is the irony of it all.

What wrong he did? Nothing illegal but certainly not the best practise. Atleast he has been insensitive to his former employer.

I am sorry to ask this -- if I understand correct, LUD is last update date? What is your LUD, what does it say? Should we have LUD on I140 before anything happens to I485 application?

My I140 has been approved Aug 15, I485 is sent July 24 to TSC and I have no news about I485 yet.
Thank you for your reply.


485 Package received at NSC on July 23
No receipts, no checks cashed
I-140 approved TSC June 2007
I-140 LUD 8/12/2007
EB3 - India
PD - 8/2003

I think your interpretation of this situation makes sense. I would like to add that the jumbs and increased activity in the uscis/dos etc all happened in anticipation of the CIR passing through and becoming law to be effective in the next FY. They probably wanted to clear of as many legal applicants/backlogs as possible before the next rush based on point system. I agree with you that this is not a conspiracy but more a miscommunication. Whatever the case, hopefully, the AILF litigation will bring some order to the system.

Me, spouse and a friend sent emails to the above Senator and will call them tomorrow.

HAHA, true, and reddymjm should be made acting deputy director for this effort like Mr. Aytes.
I'm glad that he re-edited his language in his previous post!

You and I would not be here. You would have got ur GC long back ha ha haa haa

Why not in DC... IF we really plan then we can do this in DC.. ? may be next weekend?

It would be great if we can coordinate nationally, that way we can synergize our efforts.

I am still waiting for I 485 RN :( July 16 filed at Nebrasks signed by R. Pitcher

Hi Vivek,
What time was your package delivered on July 16th

Can someone with a paypal account come forward and take over a fund? Anyone with a paypal account can donate any amount using a nickname and we can publish the nickname along with the amount donated on this thread. That way we have accountability and also have a better idea of how many flowers we can send. That person with the paypal account can then order the flowers on Saturday by the latest.

Others, if they want, can send the flowers on their own also.

Just a suggestion... If we can do this, I believe more people will come forward!

Anyone who has donated to IV should be able to do this...


This is a good idea - actually we could send flowers for cheap rates if we order it in bulk. Let me know who's in for this. We can open up a paypal account or use one of our own paypal account and start collecting funds and use it to send the flowers to the USCIS dept.

Any takers?

By the way - since I am in NOVA/DC, I can initiate some media coverage even if we can get some substantial number of people sending flowers.
