All of a sudden since last week there has been an increase.. in these kind of people who "suddenly" pop up ; make their first time posts challenging IV and its mission.
I think the best treatment they deserve is IGNORANCE. we probably shouldnt even reply to such ridiculous posts of people who are not even aware what the CIR contains for us legals..
please ignore such people..or else these threads keep lingering on top..which they dont deserve

President Obama recently mentioned plans for holding a White House meeting to discuss proceeding with immigration reform legislation. And now he is keeping that promise by setting June 8th, just three weeks from now, to hold the meeting. According to Politico: "The meeting will be an opportunity to launch a policy conversation that we hope will be able to start a debate that will take place in Congress later in the year," the official, who asked not to be named, said. Asked if the session would be billed as a summit or a forum, like similar meetings on health care...

Hi,
In another thread, IV is proposing only pushing filing 485 before priority date. I try to understand what the benefits are by filing it. For one thing, you can switch jobs after 6 months? How about setting up your own consulting company?

Hi all:
I am a July 2nd filer and I was not married at the time of my green card application. My green card was files under EB2 and my priority date is March 06. I got married in November 07 and got my wife to the US under H4. When the dates became current for March 06, we sent my wife's 485 app in on the 2nd to USCIS. We got a rejection notice this Tuesday (12th) with a notice date of the 4th saying that her "priority date could not be established". My lawyer received the package back today and said that she thinks it was wrongfully rejected and everything was o.k. We were going to resend the application today.
However, I just got an approval email for my I-485 and the online status has been changed to approved too.
What are my options here? Will USCIS accept the application if we sent it in? Does this mean she is out of status?
We are really worried. Has anyone been in this situation? What is the best way to resolve this?
I can honestly say that I never thought I would look at my 485 approval and get depressed.
Thanks.
Dont worry. Everything will be fine as it is not your mistake. Send a letter directly to IO bypassing the mailroom explaining in detail with your notices.

You may have submitted your papers in Jan 2007 but make sure your lawyer forwarded it in Jan 2007. Check for the date Received on the approval notice.
For my recent H1B extention for 7th year extention, I have come across strange situation.
My old H1B was valid till 5th Feb 2007. Extention was applied in Jan 2007 with approved I-140. Recently I have received approved H1B extention with new I-94, but it states validity is from 22 March 2007 to 5th Feb 2010.
I thought the extention should have been from 6th Feb 2007 to 5th Feb 2010.
what should be infered from above ? Does it mean that I was out of ststus fron 6th Feb 2007 till 21st March 2007.
I would appereciate any input on this.
If this makes me out of status , is there a way to fix this by contacting USCIS again ?
Thanks

We got an RFE on my wife's I-485 requesting for copy of marriage certificate. Our priority date is August 2005 (EB2). ND is September 05, 2007.
Anyone else in the same boat? Does this mean USCIS has began processing the 2005 apps?
I think they are going by the RD. Not on PD. Mine is Aug 10 ND and July 2 RD (with Jan 06 PD) and we got an RFE couple of months back...so i guess now they are processing Sep ND/RD...

Mark is from LI. I wonder why he does not show up any more. Has he quit IV?
He is active - he is a big guy now, sometime back, I approached him for his autograph, and he said he does not have time to sign autographs :D:D:D
Jokes apart - Mark is very much in IV. He is involved at the national level more than the State level - he does make sure he is in conference calls and if we have a meetup in his area, he will make it for sure.

Hello,
My husband and I submitted I-485 last year (I am not currently working). He already got the green card and mine is still pending. I've got my Advanced Parole in hand. We plan to visit Canada in May . I'd like to ask someone in similar situation regarding applying a temporary resident Canada visa.
On the column 8 of the 5257 Form "Applicant for a temporary resident visa made outside of Canada", "Immigration status of applicant in country where applying", which optioin should I pick? (Permanent Resident?) What date should I put in the box "valid until"?
When mailing the visa application, which supporting document should I send? Only the AP and I-485 receipt?
Anyone with similar experience could give some advice?? Thanks very much!!!

During the stage of 485 in how much details they look your your current status. In what all things they look except last 3-6 pay stubs and W2s.
I have following questions:
1. Dose any one has experience that they have asked for the details for the H1B LCA to verify the satus during the stage of 485(like your location specified in LCA). (-not talking about LC).
2. Another good question. If your LCA filed with the petition was for the some location of California. Now if you relocated to NY. Now you worked in NY for a year and now your W-2 will have the sate as the NY. IF you submit this W-2 at the 485 stage then they can easily figure out that your LCA was for some city of california and you are paying tax in the NY. Means in such cases they can easily find out that you are out of status. Don't they look into such details?
Asking this because I have not read a case like where they have traced back to the LCA level. Also many are doing the consultancy job means staying to one state for 1 year and another on second year. Eventhough not heard about any RFE on LCA to verify the current status.

Hi Guys,
For those who applied for the EAD and it has already arrived (or those who have done the ead renewal b4), when does the new EAD/AP start from?
Say my EAD is expiring on Oct 1 and I apply on June 1 (lets assume every month is exactly 30 days for calculation convenience). Now say my EAD arrives on say Sep 1, then does it start from Sep 1 or does it start on the original Oct 1? I guess my question is, do we lose a few weeks each time we renew the EAD/AP?

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the feedback. Still I am little bit confused so here are my very specific questions.
1. Can I work for a US firm which has office in India while staying in India?
2. I asked about EAD because I thought that I am still employed with US firm the only difference is that my work location is India and not US. I still get pain in US salary, in that case do i need EAD? Can my GC process continue without me visiting US now and then?
3. Can I still renew my AP/EAD while i am out of US working for US firm and getting paid in US salary but work location in India?
Thanks,
Mickey

photoshop is amazing.,.... but if your an artist...like the way painter outputs is really intuitive...the only problem is it has a lot of like variable parts that can seem overwhelming. plus i hate how photoshop doesnt have an add water option like painter. that thing kicks so much ***. I think its a good idea to have both.

Enabling The World's Most Talented Individuals To Put Their Skills To Work For America Will Increase Our Productivity, Improve Our International Competitiveness, And Create Many High-Paying Jobs For Americans. The President supports (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/01/20060131-5.html) attracting and retaining the best and the brightest high-skilled workers from around the world by reforming the Nation's immigration system, while maintaining national security priorities. The President's comprehensive plan for immigration reform meets the needs of a growing economy, allows workers to provide for their families while respecting the law, and enhances homeland security by relieving pressure on the borders

PD is always LC filing date.
Incorrect. It is not always.
In most cases, LC filing date is the Priority Date.
A Priority Date is the date that a Labor Certification is filed with the State Workforce Commission or the date that an immigration petition (I-140/I-130) is filed, whichever comes first.
He will still be able to use the old employer filed LC date as PD even if the employer cancels LC/I140.
Incorrect.
There is risk involved if the old I-140 is revoked or canceled. Please check with your lawyer/attorney.
There might be a little risk if the old one he got was a substituted one.
