Hi GCanyMinute;

The PD only shows on the Approval Notice of the I140 . The I485 does not show any PD.

thanks

andy

Thanks a lot for the replies.

I have an infopass appointment for tomorrow. Are the infopass officers qualified to review the file and process it right away?

Nope infopass officers are not at all helpful. I found out that many are just
"half-trained" customer service reps who have access to whatever online
system USCIS uses. They can tell you if your background checks were cleared,
what your priority date is (if you have multiple I-140s) and if every thing
has been bundled together in your "A-file" or not.

I had a horrible infopass where the "officer" didnt even know what a I-140 was.

Try sending a clear letter to the ombudsman right away. Be very clear an give copies
of everything you have I-485 receipts, your PD, country of chargeability etc etc.

I did send a letter to the ombudsman in mid dec got a usual we have opened a
request with USCIS and you will get answer in 45 days 2 weeks ago. Last week
got a phone call - yes a phone call - from them last week saying they got a email from USCIS saying my case is being fowarded for adjudication and you will get a result within 30 days.

Best of luck

Did anyone notice the change in the wording on I-485 adjustment of status? It used to say that it takes between 850 and 900 days to process this type of request. Now it just says that the will notify you when a decision has been made. This change was just made in the last week or two. Curious.

Sheesh.

I'm a PD: Jun 06 EB3-ROW. I just received 2 yrs EAD. Let's hope this doesn't mean the cutoff dates won't move.

As per my understanding, due to the July 2, 2007 fiasco, Visa dates were unavailable for ALL chargeability areas between July 2nd - July 17th 2007 (i.e until USCIS temporarily made relaxation after protests from IV et al. )

So how can the processing date be July 11th !!

It implies that they are processing a case that was filed/receipted on July 11th !! Whereas as per the Visa bulletin no body should have been able to file a case when PDs were not current during that brief time slot (2nd - 17th of july). So are they processing cases out of thin air !! :) (just kidding...I know some people did contine to file after July 2nd despite dates not being current)

If indeed people did continue to file their papers even after July 2nd (and I think some did), then may be they are processing those (relatively) few applications. But would they allow such applications. I guess they are...they are atleast processing them :) , whether or not they will honor such filings I dont know....

Hello,

What type of camera are you looking for?

Point-and-shoot or a dSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex).

The Sony Cybershoot is just your average P&S camera, small, light and compact.

A dSLR for example, like the Nikon D40 or the Canon EOS 350D are dSLR type and are much bigger in size but deliver alot higher quality images.

Nikon D40 http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d40/images/d40-right-950.jpg

Canon EOS 350D http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Canon350D/images/Canon350D_main.jpg

What is your price budget too?

here is the link for the cyber-shot y was looking for http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=20005011
i know sony also have dslr cameras, but this cyber-shot is pretty much like a dslr and it's affordable. $600 budget

Thanks for the replies !! I have everything ready as I was planning for concurrent filing. But since the decision was changed on July 2nd, my attorney just filed I 140.

sure, I would sign up for the contribution.

You will be glad you did it

While going out staple all of them together and give it it Airlines.

Airline has no problem in taking any of one (valid dates or expired dates), but the moment they see more than one, they will take all and staple it together. It is sent back for records (I am not sure where/how that is maintained and what is impact of giving in bits and pieces or loosing it, while having multiples).

But my lawyer as well as airline told me clearly to give all of the I94 together.

If you lost one (even to airlines), it may be worth informing USCIS, to avoid any inconveniences later. (Note: I am not legal expert and this is not a legal advise)

Well i just sent a message to my lawyer and this is the reply i received.

"If her current H-1B has been counted against the cap before, she should be able to return to H-1B status without having to wait for the cap to reopen."

Pls comment:)

Yes your lawyer is correct. You count towards the cap only once.

On the other hand, you mentioned that she is a teacher. If she works for non profit, govt, entities her H1 is also not counted towards the cap. So if she was working for a school earlier on a H1, then if she now wants to move to the industry on a new job, the new H1 will count towards the cap.

Now everything is queued..... no more cutting lines.

You are a senior member. Why are you creating useless thread? People browse IV forums for valuable and important information. People (volunteers) works extra time on limited resources to have this website up & running. I do not understand what made you start this useless thread and waste others time?:eek:

At last I am able to get to the root of the issue. I went to Logan airport and spoke to Immigartion dept people. They have seperate cell called differed inspection for these kind of clarifications.
When I explained the situation they found that the i-94 number in their system is not matching with that of mine. So when SSA is searching the database they were not getting any details. They have issued a new i-94 card to me and asked me to re-submit the request to SSA. Hopefully they will be able to get it this time.

If any one faces similar problems, they may contact immigation dept of Logan at #617-568-1810 option 0 and ask for differed inspections.

Thanks for all your suggestions, have wonderful time:)

Thank you, however I was not expecting it.

Be nice, give it forward. It easy to be frustrated does not take much, it takes a lot to be nice.

Njoy life . Buy a corvette. :)


Thanks, I gave you some green dots for your answers.
You asked about my age: I will be 40yrs old this December..

I had the same issue. Still awaiting my AP which was applied in Nov 2008.
When I called up TSC where my application was filed, they kept insisting that they have really mailed it and they cannot issue it again unless they receive the AP saying it is undelivered.

I am sure my address is correct as per their records. I got my EAD delivered at the same address without any issue.

Finally I called them again, this time I talked to a more knowledgeable accommodating IO.

Keep calling the service center till you get an instruction similar to the following.

This is the instruction provided
----------------------------------------------------------
Fill out I-131 Application or use the copy of your original application
attach two photos

Mention the receipt no on the top of the form
Also mention REPLACEMENT : no Fees included
Add a covering letter explaining the situation

Post it to the following address

USCIS Texas Service Center
ADDRESS ( This is a special address, This not the standard USCIS address)

On Lower Left corner of the envelope mention:
do Not open in the mail room, No fees are attached

------------------------------------------------------------------

I am still awaiting my AP after doing this. :confused:

Hey, what you think or say does not matter. This is what lawyers are for, go hire an attorney.
Oh! I might have forgotten that you might be working for a desi consultant, who will pad your resume to make it look like Kernigan's or Ritchie's. ..maybe they can qualify you for EB-1...

Hi ,

What number I can call at? When I call them- they told me I have to come in person to get status as they can't give it over phone for non-US citizens.


Thanks,
AG

Did your company file an EB2 labor/petition on your behalf?


Hi

I my PD is July 2003 EB3 (India).

My I140 was approved in 2006 and had applied for 485, EAD, A/P in July 2007 like most of you. Yesterday LUD on my approved I140 and 485, EAD, A/P applications in USCIS changed after months. But now my approved I140 status has changed to
What is even more surprising is that it also says This is incorrect since i got the approval notice in Nov 2006.

I have NOT done any labor substitution or anything like that.

As usually our corporate lawyer and HR were useless and think this is just some system issue at USCIS. Did anyone else see this before? I was looking for other threads but couldn't find anyone else having similar issues.

Immigration gurus - any suggestions/comments? Is this normal?

Thanks!

Did anyone ask about EB3-India backlog?
