DWI is driving while intoxicate. Its can mess you up as far as your life is concerned. This in the past has never been a problem. I have sent FBI a criminal background check request. I am assuming thats what DHS is using to say that I have criminal background.

Anways, hopefully that wont show anything. My question is, can I goto Mexico with this type of application.

THanks!

One of my friends neighbours Aunt who lives in Australia has a cousin in South Africa
This cousin's sister's uncles' kids' friend got his GC last month, his PD was 2007. He was in EB3.

I have heard quite a few cases like that,

like other day I was at Safeway and the counter lady told me that her friend's cousin's son just got the whole process completed in 2 months and that too in EB3.

I can only say it is just unbelivable that these things still happen in this world. USCIS is just full of bums, we should definitely do some campaign about it.

But then ignorance is bliss :D

Hi,
my wife has received EAD and she also has H4 status. If she travels on H4 and get it stamped in India , can she work on EAD when she comes back?

Kindly request your help,

This time around its unchartered territory with these flood gates open. As for current ways there is a chance(still only chance there is no science) you will get the rcpt date by then, but who knows what will go on.
Guys, this thing is so important, do not play games with it and screw up you application. Unless travel is absolutely must, forget about it. All lawyers including mine are suggesting to cut short any visits, cancel any existing plans and don't make new plans. The dates could retrogress to stone age, do you really want to take a chance and wait for the next opportunity, if something doesn't work out.

Applied for labor February of 2004 in regular then changed to RIR in September 2004. Got 45 day letter in May. Finally got labor approval letter yesterday October 2nd.

I have a question - is there any premium process for I 140 or 485?

Thanks

I am taking a guess that what Ronnie meant to say was that, Tax filing (whether or not you file jointly) has no implications on your immigration process... which is true.

If you filed 'married filing separately' does not mean that you dont want to support your spouse anymore as a derivative of your I-485 !

I second this. Tax Filing has no implications on your immigration status.

I talked to Delta rep and she told we can transfer miles from one account to another account. But there is a big catch. You need to pay about $10.00 for every 1000 miles transfered and $25.00 transaction fee.

I absolutely agree. A good legislation is the only solution. Let us hope that more ppl have that far-sightedness and keep visiting and contributing to IV.

PD current does not gaurentee any thing...
May be people who are short sighted may stop visiting.

But people who are seeing the whole picture would
definitley visit here and contribute to IV.

good luck

Can anyone tell me what was final outcome of this? and which state it was where this happened?

I applied I-485 and have recieved EAD in Sept, 2007. Now early next year (i.e. Jan/Feb 2008) I plan to go out of US for a year to complete an academic course. During that time, I would have to renew my EAD so that I can get back and start working. Anyone who has some experience or knowledge how this can be done from outside US... or is there a process to follow before I leave.

Also I am told that I might receive another finger printing request duirng the same time I am out of this country, any idea !!

Hi all,
My attorney (a great guy by the way) filed my I485 without my employment verification letter. When I raised the question, he argued that the employment verification letter cannot be a ground for denial and that worst case scenario will be USCIS sending a RFE.
Is it true that it is not a ground for denial?
Is is possible to send it it separately to complete the file?
What would be your advice?
Thanks is advance.

smuggymba,

Old I-94 expiration date was January 3, 2010, and new I-94 started from October 18, 2010.

Ask your lawyer if you can get the I-94 corrected Nunc Pro Tunc.

MurthyDotCom : Nunc Pro Tunc H1B and H-4 Cases Approved (http://www.murthy.com/news/n_nunpro.html)

Good luck to you.

Me and my wife got soft LUD on 485 files. the date was 03/19/2009. we are Jul 07 filers. PD was May 07

This is called RFE. If it's the "BIG RFE"
they are nowadays asking for pretty much EVERY SINGLE PIECE of RECORD for past 3 yrs.
All wage reports for ALL Employees, W2s for All employees, Client letters,
Tax returns and whatever else they can think of. If you've gotten one of those BIG RFEs . then it may take some time

Congratulations.. Enjoy your freedom.

Yahoooooooooooooo......We (Me and my wife) received welcome notice today . Our 485 is approved on 25 th March.

no updates online just received postal mail from USCIS today .

I guess end of long wait , been in country from 2001 .

I wish you all the best and hang in there if your PD is current you can expect the notice any time so keep checking your postal mail box .

FYI - I dont know if my back ground check is clear or not , I guess it is .

IV team - This is a good chance and worthy one to lobby for. Any updates/leadership on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ah, so painter is really the best if you have a tablet, but if you don't have one, then you shouldn't bother????

If the ROW numbers are not used up, they could be used for EB3/EB2 for India 9and China to some extent) at the end of the Fiscal year. All these AILF/AILA lawyers are saying there is no law for doing this.

But I don't see anyone mentioning anywhere that Law prohibits explicitly using those numbers for India EB3, like they did this year. The Visa bulletin provides guidelines on the country cap, but it does not address the unused numbers condition at the end of fiscal year. SO using them for some backlogged countries is not against the law. I think it finally depends on the internal USCIS officials who interprets the law. They will do whatever they want internally within those guide lines. If nothing is written explicitly that it is against the law, then they are not breaking the law. i am not sure if my assumption and interpretation is correct. But these are my thoughts based on events. But This thread has very good observations and study of the past events. Thanks to Dollar500 and Sanju.

Hi Guys,
Any suggestions for my post above? It will be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!!

If it's easy enough, please remove "United States" as a choice in the list of countries.

Then they will pick Afghanistan! :)

Lets encourage people to make a little bit of effort and update the data to reflect the correct PD and Country of chargeability.

My understanding is once you use the EAD, your H4 & H1 status is no longer valid and you cannot have the H visas for backup. Hence the need to get AP, etc, rathgere than reenter on H visa. Check with an attorney.

I have a question, if H4 use EAD for employment and is allowed to keep her H4 status , how come a H1b who still work full time for his sponsor employer looses his H1B status when he finds a part-time job using EAD ?
