Pappu,
Do I need to post my question on this thread or I can pass it on before in time to StarSun or you? B'cause posting my GC issue with personal information would not look appropriate on a public forum.
Let me know.
If you have privacy concerns (you should not be as everyone is identified only by their usernames on IV forum) you can email starsun and then be available to ask it yourself in the call

They can do a lot. on monday one mentioned that listeners should call a particular senators office and state their opinion against the bill, by tuesday 7000 had called the office.
Hello All,
My take: these talk radio hosts cannot do anything for our cause. They spend all the time in radio. Only lobbying works and that too a focussed effort. Our focus must be in getting the message across to the Judiciary Commitee members, then as many senators as possible. Next step will be with the house members and this is the most difficult task.
IV is doing this and the results are there in the form of amendments. On another track, Sen Cornyn has introduced a good point in his SKIL bill Section 402. This I am sure is the result of letter from someone affected by retrogression / backlog.
So, we can get results only by presenting our problems directly to Senators and Congressman.

Your GC sponsor will not revoke 140
Only this part looks scary ... if u have had issues with employer and have not left him amicably, they may revoke 140 ...What can we do if employer revokes 140 ?

AFAIK, those who become ligible to receive stimulus in 2008 can claim stimulus of previous year. IRS will post information - how to claim it.
UPDATE: Refer to (Thanks gc_dedo) irs has already posted ...
There is no fresh memo for becoming ligible, it still holds that both filing jointly should have SSN. If one was not having SSN (in 2007) and could not get last year (in 2008) still won't get stimulus - unless ligibility is changed by IRS and ITIN is brought into it.
I am not sure how much this mechanism works - file alone to get stimulus and then modify return by filing jointly. People who have done this (with 2007 return) should post their experience of returns of 2008 - whether IRS allowed it or not.

Thanks guyz !!
I did spoke with Sheila Murthy Lawyers on chances of maintaining GC processing and Consular processing.
My firm is OK with my long Leave of Absence...Only thing that threw spanner in the wheel was comment from Sheila Murthy firm's advise.
Per them, to renew AP and EAD, I need to be phsically back in states and also stay in States for the duration of approval i.e. if it takes 3 months for renewal of AP and EAD, then I need to be in States for that duration.
I asked them what if I can apply 5months in advance, from Outside US and someone can fedex it to me. Max I can come back for few days.
.. Per them this will not work...
What do you guyz say ?
Many thanks !
I don�t think you need to be here from the day you apply AP to the day it get approved. If what I think is correct then I have one idea for you.
1) Now you can go out of USA on first AP, which is already approved
2) Come back for few days to apply 2nd AP again (6 moths before Current AP will expire)
3) Once you apply 2nd AP, you can go France again with first AP and then come back to US before first AP will expire.
4) After few days again you can go France with 2nd AP.
Since your PD is old, most probably you will get GC approval before 1st AP will expire.
This is just an idea but not sure how feasible it is.

nobody complains about somebody getting green card getting in six months, infact I know somebody who got green card from india onmployment basis, the problem is people who have waited for 6 years or longer feels the pinch, because
they have followed the law just like the guy who got in 6 months , and they see no light at the end of the tunnel, and frustration to certain degree amounts to anger.
chilllllllll enjoy the system, this is how the system works, like it or not.
thanks
look I have been here for 10 years and I kick my self everyday for not getting card, if I played my cards right I should have been worrying about citizenship now :)
many of are here for good reasons of our own deed and situations which are beyound our control, 9/11, immigration politics etc. the best way to get around this either to follow some lope hole such as labor subst, L1 etc, or fight the system thru IV, or just simply wait,
complaining that someone else is getting greencard is nothing but childesh and I hate to say this as it comes from a "Highly educated" guy like who did is MS from US :D

I believe the USCIS counts only applications they have recieved. In other words even if there is a 140 approved but the person is not able to file a 485 then his application would not count. I think they log in the applications when they send out the reciept notices and then log them out when approved. As such I think even pending EAD and AP applications would be counted as cases.
However some clarification would be definitely nice.
I want to point out however that there are many cases of 140 approvals who for whatever reason are not active or transferring to another petition.
The BECs have completed a little over half of the cases to date. They are moving quite fast in the last few weeks. Recently a colleagues application filed in May 2004 got approved, within 3 weeks mine filed on the same day with the same lawyer was also approved (atleast online status check). As such I feel that atleast those that filed with RIRs will be done by the end of the year and those with traditional labours will be done by next year. Now that last point is what gives me the chills. Those are the really old PDs and until we get a feel for how many of them are still active and how many are legit and how many of those are used for Labour Subs etc, we will not get a handle on the size of this problem.
At the very least we can double the number of pending petitions at 485 stage. Also atleast about 30-40k of those with background checks pending are probably EB based. So It would be a guesstimate but there may be about 300K or so back log of visa numbers needed. However of those a disproportionate number would be EB India. I would conservatively say a third. All guessowrk of course.

I have asked same question to the lawyer and here is his reply:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be able to do EB-2, you will need to have, in addition to your 3-year bachelor's degree, at least another 3-year degree or a 2-year master's degree.
If your post-graduate diploma is 3-year, you may be able to make the case for EB-2 if you can show equivalency to master's degree. One-year PGD would not be sufficient for EB-2.

Thank you so much for your responses! I did not mean to lie to the consulate when I answered "no" on the form the previous time. I think the thing that we've actually came back in time proves it.
This is not a valid reasoning. The "no" is not related to immigration intent. It is related to if you made factually correct statements.
The new DS-160 form doesn't have this questions because I've heard that many people were confused by it. The consulate officer did not ask us if we were planning to immigrate to the US. I know of quite a few people who were issued a non-immigrant visa while replying "yes" to that question. Does it mean the law was broken on that case?
Does it matter if the "I-130" was not approved yet? Does it count "immigration intent" from the date they've received documents from my brother? Please comment. Thank you.
You need to *prove* that you have no intention for immigrating to US. Your intention is within your head; it does not start from any given date or given action by USCIS. The IO needs to "read your mind". The legal standard is that the court concedes that no one can know for sure what one's intentions are, however, the immigration officer can make a reasonable guess at the intentions by observing the actions you took or someone else took on your behalf.
In your case:
1. Someone filed I-130 for you. This is for permanent immigration to US.
2. You have family ties in US.
3. You have traveled to US before (I do not know how frequently).
4. You want to join a university that does not even have your major; that too you do not know what exactly you will study in that university. This itself is a very strong indication (at least in my mind) that you are not really interested in the education, but you applied to that university just for coming to US.
All together, it shows a clear pattern of observable evidence that your intention is to immigrate to US.

Guys pls stop taking useless info pass appointments. People like me who have not received EAD and may loose the job are not able to get infopass appointments because of all the people taking appt to know the 485 status. Pls understand......
No offense to you however:
1: An infopass may and may not solve your problem (so don't count on that)
2: Not all infopass'ers are seeing your message
So - A better thing to do will be to remind USCIS of its duties by taking one/more of these actions until you get your EAD
- talk to local congress person and have them nag USCIS
- open a service request if your case is outside processing time
- send form 7004 to ombudsman
Good Luck

I have read about some cases where ppl who had one of the PDs current, tried very aggresively and got their 485 approved. I have not seen many cases though. Everytime I research on interfiling, I always find those couple of cases so in my opinin, interfiling is not very common. Its a unknown territory as its not a paid service from USCIS.

So after more than a month of sleepless nights, thanks to Immigration Voice looks like my I 485 application is back on track.
A recap of my situation:
Last month I got an email from USCIS-CRIS stating that my I 485 was withdrawn. After being in this country for close to 10 years and in the immigration queue for more than 7 years why would I withdraw the application ??? I did not withdraw my application !!!
It took me more than a month to find out the reason behind the withdrawal..trust me it was not easy..and guess what ....It was my Attorney who had withdrawn the application in Error. Now what ... I call USCIS multiple times.. talk to many different IO's .. some of them patient and try to help.. some extremely rude.. but all of them had only one thing to say... they cannot help!!..... I get an Info Pass... no help there either.. I set up an emergency meeting with my attorney (one of the large Immigration Law Firms) .. nothing...they accept their mistake tell me that they will do all they can .. but no assurance that they will reinstate the case .. limited forward movement.... things look gloomy and bleak..no one can help me.
Then I called Immigration Voice on the number that is listed on the site and left a voice mail. Promptly got a call back I spoke to a Core member who understood the gravity and urgency of the situation and swiflty moved forward and got in touch with their contacts in the government. The Core member also put me in a conference call with the person who was going to look into my case, I was so relieved that I could explain the situation first hand.
I got a call today and I was told that after evaluating my case my file has been reopened and they have mailed an offical notice regarding the same and I should get it in a few days. *Fingers crossed until I get this notice in hand *
The IV core was extremely sensitive to my situation and were very responsive and extremly helpful. I cant thank Immigration Voice enough for helping me resolve this issue in a quick manner.
I have registered to be a recurring contributing member and I intend to be an active member of this group.
My lessons from this crazy experience are:
- Never trust your attorney, always ask for a copy of any letter/document they send to USCIS on your behalf
- There is no organization besides IV out there that is looking out for the interests of the Immigrant Community.
- We need to strengthen IV in all ways we can, we need to be active.
- And as so many members have already said "We are IV." If we want things to be better "WE" need to do something about it.
I urge members who are still contemplating becoming active members to evaluate their options and to become active and contributing members of IV.
- Peace
ps:
Another point I would like to add is that no other organization has the kind of reach and the credibility with USCIS as IV has as far as representing the true interests of the Immigrant Community goes. IV is a huge asset we have and we should work towards strenthening it.
we are glad that it worked out.

Is there a conspiracy, first there was delays in the processing of the EADs, now there is delay in the production of the EAD cards...
Are there more RFEs happening too?
My EAD renewal took almost 90 days to get approved, and my employer was ready to let me go if I did not get the approval before my EAD expired. Just made it with 2 days to spare.

I knew that slowly the antis are gaining more and more strength as a result the noose is getting tighter and tighter around us (and will eventually reach our neck). I didn�t expect this fast:
Texas change in driver�s license laws in last 6 months:
1) We knew that instead of the usual 6 years expiry date, they now want to see proof of visa documents and the expiry date is set to the expiry of the visa document.
2) If visa document is expiring less than 6 months, then we CANNOT get a drivers license.
Driver�s license laws - Latest Changes:
1) The driver�s license that all non-citizens will get will be Vertical and NOT the usual horizontal. This license looks very different than the conventional Texas DL and it also has to ominous word �temporary visitor�. I was okay with word being mentioned, but making the drivers license look so different from normal (vertical and not horizontal is taking it too far). I am worried about possible discrimination everywhere wherein we show our IDs.
2) Chance of Address not possible online: Previously, its only during license renewal, you had to get that new unique non-citizen card. Now, they are not allowing even change of address online! The website says, we don�t qualify for change of address online as well. This means that even for change of address, we have to go to the DL office and surrender of our old good unexpired DLs.
Any inputs? Texans? Others? What have been your experiences? In other states, can you change your address online without any hassle?

Come on dude. Texas is very slow.
Be happy, at least for the most they give license at least to the expiry of the Visa. This rule has been in many states for several years. In Tennessee, it was impelemented in 2004.

Hi,
The question I have is : where to return my I-94 (expired and the extended one that came with I797) when I leave by LAND as there are no "US CBP agents/office" when we leave US by land. I went through US CBP website and find that there is a process to send I-94 after leaving the country to "ACS - CBP SBU , KY".
Unfortunately as I will be entering as a Canadian PR, there will not be any stamp in my passport to record my entry to Canada and hence won't be able to prove to "ACS - CBP SBU , KY" my date of departure from US. The reason I am worried is that I don't want to get in to any overstay issues if I need to come to US in future.
Thanks in advance.
When you handover your I-94 to the airline staff there is no recorded evidence of when you handed it over, there is no date stamp per se. Some airlines will not even take it out, esp. if you are travelling to Canada unless you ask them to. Also there is no gurantee that when airlines collect the I-94 it will indeed reach CBP at KY. As far as the entry stamp of the country you are visiting/moving that may not be clear enough to show that dates and some countries will not even stamp passport if you are a PR. Besides USCIS might or might accept it as an evidence of departure. US and Canada do not stamp the passport upon entry for Permanent residents.
The point of all this is, there is no certain way of showing that you have departed with-in the duration of stay. Sometimes USCIS takes boarding pass as the evidence. I think you should just take it easy, go to Canada and send the I-94 that is acctached to your H1-B on the same day with a post mark and make a copy of the receipt etc. That post mark from Canada is an evidence that you were actually in Canada mailing the damn I-94 on your first day of arrival. Other evidences could be the entry receipt of the Car that you will be taking to Canada (not sure about this though).
The question I have is : where to return my I-94 (expired and the extended one that came with I797) when I leave by LAND as there are no "US CBP agents/office" when we leave US by land. I went through US CBP website and find that there is a process to send I-94 after leaving the country to "ACS - CBP SBU , KY".
Unfortunately as I will be entering as a Canadian PR, there will not be any stamp in my passport to record my entry to Canada and hence won't be able to prove to "ACS - CBP SBU , KY" my date of departure from US. The reason I am worried is that I don't want to get in to any overstay issues if I need to come to US in future.
Thanks in advance.
When you handover your I-94 to the airline staff there is no recorded evidence of when you handed it over, there is no date stamp per se. Some airlines will not even take it out, esp. if you are travelling to Canada unless you ask them to. Also there is no gurantee that when airlines collect the I-94 it will indeed reach CBP at KY. As far as the entry stamp of the country you are visiting/moving that may not be clear enough to show that dates and some countries will not even stamp passport if you are a PR.

Based on one of the core member's request, I did the research and shared the information with IV members, so that when you get the GC, you could make informed decision.
Please be optimistic. You getting GC should not be a question of �if�, it should be a question of �when and how soon�.

Please support IV and make it happen soon.
