I recently moved to CA (San Diego). I have a DL valid till 2011, from the state where I lived before. Now, I am in AOS pending status. No more H1B visa and I-94 expired long time back. I have EAD and AP. If I go to DL office for california DL,what will be the validity period? Will it be till the EAD ( which is going to expire in next 3 months ) ? In this case I do not want to show my EAD to apply the licence. Will they accept 485 recipt notice to prove my legal status in USA ? Will they give five year license in this case?

Got the approval notice today :) "Welcome to the United States of America" - ironically i have been in this country for a decade now! finally the "welcome" :)
It has been a very long journey!!! and a very frustrating one for the last few years... but the feeling that I now get is really liberating... first thing I did was thanked God for ending the seemingly endless wait that me and my wife (she didn't care as much) were in.
I'm already thinking of the things I want to do after this new found liberation... it includes showing the middle finger to those who have taken undue advantage of my status :cool: :D and i'm not taking it anymore... I'll be a new person starting Monday!
Just so there is no confusion... my PD was Feb 2003 EB3 but my wife's PD was EB2 April 2004... we got our freedom through her application. If anyone needs more info on how/what/when - i can share that (it had its up's and downs - mainly downs, but all's well that ends well)!
Lastly as a token of my real support to the cause of IV I will be donating a small amount. I have donated in the past... I have participated in conversations in the past... I was not so active on other fronts but I truly believe in this organizations effort to help the community. And God willing each one of you will get this freedom soon! God Bless!
Congrats and Best Wishes

OK so I was the original poster that spoke about my friend. Now I will give you some insight into my own case. I have been now in the US since 1991(though my PD is August 2001). Here are some details
Jan 1991 : Arrived in US as 19 yr old after completing Diploma in Engineering from India (10 plus 3).
1991- 1996: Took 5 yrs to complete 4 yrs degree as I was paying my own way. Working full time and studying full time on F1 visa.
1996 -1998 : Completed MBA. This time situation was better because I had financial aid and in state tuition.
1998-1999: Completed internship at an Investment Bank. Had to find another job because I Bank didnt want to do H1. Have been at current job since 1999.
2001: CVompany policy was to wait 2 yrs before applying for GC. So finally filed labor in 2001.
2005 : Labor finally approved from BEC. I 140 filed and approved.
June 2007 : 485 filed (as a 36 yr old)

Is there any advantage choosing a local lawyer? Can some body please suggest attorney in Chicago area.
Some ppl prefer to have local attorney in case they want the attorney to accompany them if & when CIS calls for personal interview.

Perhaps your old employer might have withdrawn/ revoked your I 140 and that might have triggered the RFE. Still all they will ask is new EVl with job responsiblities so easy to answer
Thank you all four replies. You guys are relly helpful. I did not change state, I just moved from one street to another street with in the same city.
But only thing is I am working for different employer and I have NOT yet applied AC21. If this RFE is about "employment verification", I am thinking of sending from new employer since my I 485 filed more than 6 months. I hope this is ok. Please correct me if I am wrong.

The benefits to the porting are obvious. However let me share with you the considerations:
1) You have to change jobs presumably on another H1b visa in order to do so. There is inherently a risk in this when you do not have a green card. You'd certainly be a brave soul to change jobs on an EAD based on your EB3 petition while trying for an EB2 petition. How would you justify the same/similar requirement?
2) PERM labor certification is not going to be what it was previously given the current oversight.
3) Ported cases will definitely get more scrutiny (and probably more RFEs) from the USCIS.
4) Premium processing of 140 petitions is for a narrow subset of 140 filers who need to extend their H1b visas, failing which you are likely to take well over a year to get you 140 approved and therefore your PD ported.
5) Political calculations and the elections will be over by later this year, there will definitely be the impetus to address immigration as an urgent issue in the new political cycle and there will likely be a solution. If you are at the 485 stage, with a retrogressed PD as your only issue then you have one problem, if you are at an earlier stage then you may not be approvable at the stage when they are "generous".
If even after all this you feel your best chances are with EB2 then you should go ahead.
Good luck.

I never said school can force her to maintain F1. All I said was if she wants to be on F1 (for whatever reasons) she needs to comply with school's policies. Also her maintaining or not maintaining F1 is immaterial to her legal immigration status in the country (which is safe by the virtue of pending I-485) it is just that she will cease to be on F1 status (her current non-immigrant status, just obtaining EAD doesn't mean she has abandoned F1 status, she needs to use it)
Also, she will no longer be on any non-immigrant status when school cancels her F1, from that point on her status will solely be based on I-485 and its outcome.
School can't force her to continue on F1 visa. Only thing she need to send school is her copy of pending I-485 receipt and thats it.

I don't expect to get a 1D-II lower than the MAP price before 2004 year end.
If Paul's hunch that we'll see the 1Ds' successor by September is correct, then we might see cheaper 1D-II bodies prior to that.
As for the Kodak, it certainly has the resolution, but it doesn't seem as if it's generating much enthusiasm. The 1Ds (with less pixels) OTOH has. Removing the very expensive anti-aliasing filter was probably not Kodak's greatest moment.

it might sound cliched by now, but what IV has achieved so far is truly unbelievable, especially given the historical laissez-faire attitude of our community.Remember what this group is essentially about : a bunch of people fighting for their just cause within their limited rights in an alien country. Its a huge pity that all those folks who think of IV and their GC as their entitlement get a free ride through the blood and sweat of a handful of people, whom they accuse of incompetance and worse. Great job core team .. with all this effort, success of some sort is inevitable.

Well, first it was Consulting Vs Permanent, then EB2 V EB3 --> This was getting ugly when EB2 was moving fast, before the sudden pause and then USCIS announced no more movement or less than 2 week movement for every VB, and not "A Quota for US Master's or Higher" --> Well they are too many Ph.D's still waiting in line @ EB2-- not all qualify for EB1.. so chances are slim.. if you are from a retro county...
Only solution for this mess, that got created due to slow processing, erroneous VB on July '07, though helped many here with EAD, Labor substitution that used to exists, different processing center, RIR / non-RIR, different order for spill over from previous years and all ..is RECAPTURE of unused Visa and regulating the future process so new applicants does not have to go through the same mess we are going through..
Not sure.. We have been talking about RECAPTURE for many years now, but none happened until now... though we have tried again and again... may be very soon we can get out voice heard..
You can post any number of ideas in forum's.. but it is all easy said than done.. Think we need more focus and try hard to get one issue addressed at a time. A quota for Master's will not get you much ahead in the queue as there are too many "Master's" already waiting in the queue.. It is just my opinion.

We should put end to Lou's lies. Let's be creative. We thought of the flower campaign, we all have higher degrees. There should be a way how to stop this guy. I think we are the only ones who can do it.
By the way, Lou's ancestors came to USA also legally like us. What is the difference then? Really the only people who have the right to criticize the legal immigration to USA are the native Americans. I know that this argument would never success with the general public here but I believe it's true.
I don't think that Lou's ancestors even had visas. They probably came on the Mayflower, went to Ellis island and were just allowed to live anywhere they chose. Atleast we came here with legal paperwork.
One of the ways to stop him is to show him the actions of his own employer. If you read the petition, one of the key things is
http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/loudobbs
"From the records I obtained from USCIS/INS, Time Warner and its subsidiaries, your esteemed company who Lou Dobbs works for, hired at least 55 H1-B workers in 2006. Did your company hire these workers illegally ? Did your immigration law department check the validity of their visas ?
I am sure these are very difficult questions to answer. There is a very popular English proverb "People who live in glass houses should not throw stones" and this very well applies to Time Warner Inc. Lou Dobbs crying foul about H1-B workers while his own employer hires tons of them. I have attached the details of the H1-B approvals for Time Warner Inc. and subsidiaries which I obtained from USCIS."
I think this is very hard-hitting since it exposes the contradictions within Time Warner. Would Lou criticize his own employer for hiring H1-Bs ? I think he would be fired if he did.

sam_hoosier,
You are correct to the 'could' part.
Let me begin my explanation by stating my position on debt default:It is bad, it' NOT worth it and don't ever do it. With the explanation that I will be providing below, I don't want to sound like I'm encouraging debt defaulting, which I'm absolutely NOT. There are severe consequences for your credit, if you default a debt.
So, with that accusation out of my way :), let me explain the logic behind why I think OP is ok. Only thing that is in OP's favor is statutory time-limits, he had dodged the debt bullet for 5 years,afaik, creditors including the collection agencies lose their right to take him to court for a debt older than 5 years from the first date of default. Unless, OP makes some kind of partial payment now, which will bring the debt to current. At this point it will be a mistake for OP to do that. Collection agencies force him to do that mistake with all kinds of scary tactics -- He got to have a thick skin to settle the debt with whatever he can afford once for all.
Secondly, collection agencies buy debt in bulk, like 1000 defaults at a time. Collection agencies go through a rigorous screening processes, including threatening phone calls, attorney-letter-head notifications etc, for each debt, even before they can take it to court. When they could not talk to him or trace him or find any utility bills of him for 5 years, they would just consider him as MIA. Unless this guy is a rich dude with Hummers parked outside his mansion all the time Or has couple of rental properties on his name, they will not risk further investment on this particular debt.
Like always, my 2 cents.
I stand by my suggestion that OP must seek help from a Govt or a not-for-profit Debt Help or the best thing is to seek Attorney's help if you can afford. Don't go to the collection agency or to any of your debtors first.
Best!
Your comment is factually incorrect.
The creditor (or collection agency) can take you to court. If you don’t show up,the judge rules in favor of the creditor and against you. However, this judgment is just an acknowledgement that you owe the money.
In order to collect another court date must be assigned to perform a ‘writ of execution’. If they summon you for this, and you don’t appear, they may issue a bench warrant for your arrest.
If the amount is small enough, the creditor may just write it off (with impact to your credit history). But if its big enough they could go down the legal route.

Thank you for your information.I hope you know the situation right now in USA.In jan 2010 H1 people came to Newark Airport were asked to form in a separate queue as soon as they get down from the flight for two levels of interview.Some of them are sent back.Now you can't find employer to transfer your H1 immediately.Before two years it was possible to transfer H1 with out having recent pay stubs and they never asked client letter.Now if you don't have a job you can't transfer your H1 to anybody.
Before Sep 2009 it was two minutes time to take LCA. Now it takes 1 week time to approve LCA. We never heard about Employer-Employee relationship before 2010.
