All:
I have a question with regard to legal status:
Case - My current h1, my wife's and son's h4 status will expire within 2 months. My Green Card gets approved today, while my wife and son's stays pending. Since I have the GC, I may not be able to apply for h1 extention.
(a) What will be the status of my wife and son after the 2 month period?
They will be on Adjustment of status after h4 expiry .
(b) How will I be able to keep my wife and son in a legal status, after the 2 month period
you dont need to do anything extra. if they want to go out of country and come back instead of h4 they have to use Advance parole (AP)
I would appreciate some wisdom here.....

Not a good place for GC.....:eek:
There are 40,000 available annually, but the wait is typically between six and nine years. someone should sponsor for you to get a green. If you perform well hope you get a green card soon with the help from your US employer.

USCIS sends out three copies of the approval notice Form I797 A: Sent to the attorney on record, Form I797 B sent to the Petitioner and Form I797C sent to the beneficiary. Check the lower right hand corner of the notice you received for the form number. The B and C versions are courtesy copies. That is why if you look at the "documents needed" section for stamping of H1B in any of the Consulates or VFS sites they typically mention "original Form I797A"
Hope this helps.
Thks for the Info..I am aware only I-797 has two parts..

Most of the states had processed RIR cases till May 2002. N.J (05/2002) and
NY (10/2001) before all the applications were sent to BEC. So most of the
Applicants with these dates must have already got their Green Cards . Some of my friends with these dates have already got their GC some 1 year back.
It is Non-RIR cases which had 04/2001 processing times with NJ , NY being the states which were backlogged. It is these applications which would be
causing these delays. How many percentage of EB1 , EB2 , EB3
(Employement Category) applications might be in this process. ? If there are
less number of applications then Processing Dates may move forward to
2002 / 2003 for India.

After giving the call for the meeting only one member responded and met me. If there is no active interest by members how can we all get things done. We need every member to participate in the effort. Together we can do it!!

Message for USCIS:
PERPETUAL EAD AND AP - STOP STEALING OUR MONEY AND CREATING MORE WORK FOR YOURSELF
they are not stealing your money. The current situation can be explained on the basis of existing laws. Need to be careful about our messaging.
The very fact that all fixes we are asking for are legislative changes implies that the current situation has less to do with USCIS and more with old arcane laws. There are a lot of things USCIS can be accused of, but not 'stealing money'

Maybe your lawyer should jump into the well or go back to school ;)
She is probably already going to school (a paralegal) :)

You don't need to buy insurance. The State governments offer free insurance to people who need it. Atleast your family members would qualify for it.
Well! I never tried that one. I heard its only for people who earned below certain amount. Not everyone would qualify, i guess.

We legals who are waiting in line have another setback with news like below
Illegal immigration: Influx of immigrants from India baffles border officials in Texas - latimes.com (http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-border-indians-20110206,0,3295315.story)
last week we heard about Trivalley.
eb-3 -> eb2 seems like a minuscule problem now.
We are self destructing ourselves by making US gov loose complete trust on indian credibility with few of the above among hundreds of nuances we are causing.
If you are like me.. always following rules.. light at the end of tunnel seem to be diminishing very quickly than what we thought.

It is said that 140 premium takes around 15 days... Is it true that, if there is any query during the premium processing, the 15 day count is not applicable.. I mean it goes back to the normal processing time in case of any query

I think it's not wise to leave. I tried googling for h-1b transfer & leaving the country but didn't get much info. I think if a transfer is pending with USCIS then you shouldn't leave the country as it may be considered as abandonment of the application.
i would advice to get it done under premium processing. i am not sure when the i-94 records are updated but if USCIS sees that you left India while the transfer is pending, they might issue you I-797 but with instructions to get it stamped at a consulate in India.
just my thoughts..better try googling or ask some lawyer.

See my answers. WE just came back on AP, no issues.
I am July 2 filer and have EAD card for myself and mywife. We are planning to go to INDIA for 30 days. I have H1B extended until 2010 but H1B STAMP is expired in passport. I have following questions:
1. Should I apply for AP for both of us?
YES
2. If we have AP documents for both of us, Do we need to have NEW H1B STAMP in passport?
NO
3. When you aboard in flight from INDIA, do they question for expired H1B VISA stamp in the passport? What document we need to show them at that time?
In my case (we just returned on AP) the IO at Chicago did not take us to a room. He stamped AP thereon the counter, kept one copy and returned other to me. Carry all three copies of AP along with a photocopy.
Your help is greatly appericated.
Thank you.

I have just thought of something (don't know that anyone discussed this in our forum), what if USCIS do not reject the cases filed for July and keep the packages back for few months or years, just saying...
a) Need to record each application that they have received
b) Need to make sure that there are no concurrent I-140 filings
c) Need to differentiate the packages received in June and July
d) Etc
e) Etc
What will happen to AILA' Plaintiffs? Can they sue just having FedEx/UPS tracking number and the updated visa bulletin?
What will happen to the folks applied on 1st July? They are not going to have AP and EAD in the future. Few of their visas may need renewal soon. How can the travel outside USA? I know there are lots more problems than this.....
What will happen, if Oct Visa Bulletin is moved to up to 2005 for all the EB categories and the people who have filed in July not received the packages back in the meantime?
Moreover, who knows, USCIS may not send the packages back for several weeks to avoid lawsuit. What will happen to the people who applied on 07/02?

Hi,
My wife is waiting on her H-1B approval. She is on a H-4 currently. The company that sponsored her H-1B is an american fortune 500. This will be her first H-1B and she is in the USA for 11 months now. I have a few questions:
1. To apply for the SSN she would need the original I-797 and the I-94, correct?
2. After she applies at the SSN office, will she be able to see the number immediately (and wait for the card) ?
3. How long does it normally take them for issuing a SSN for a person like her? (H-4 to first time H-1B)?
Thanks in advance.

This is my openion.
POE IO might ask for the EVL letter from the sponsoring employer to check the integrity of the case, though not very common.
What is a EVL letter ?

Hello Everybody,
My wife & I have our 485 interviews in January. Any advice is appreciated. Mine is a EB (EB- 2) petition. Our PD is April 2006. We filed for 485's in July 2007 and our 485's were transferred to National Benefits Center in 2008. I was promoted hence my title is different now from what was filed on the Labor application and job duties only changed a little bit. My petitioner is the same,
Couple of questions -
Will they interview my wife & I together ?
Is it advisable to take the immigration attorney with us for the interview.?
Can the IO approve the case on the spot.?
Can IO stamp the passport since my PD is current.?
If somebody can direct me to any recent experiences for folks who did have interviews - that would be really helpful.
Thanks!
Ritesh
