Hi
If i-485 gets denied then what should i be doing?
Should i call the USCIS to find the reason for denial or Should i visit a lawyer?

Is their any way that i can get my I-485 reopen?
In how many days should i get my I-485 reopened?

Please help i am in need!

I filed mine, and my wife's, July 2 ('07) without medical, got status alert "RFE notice sent" Aug 4, guessing medical (have doc appointment tomorrow).

Is your RFE regarding Medical?

Did you sent your Medical Reports?

Any Good news after Medical reports sent?

In my case, my I-797 approval document itself specified which consulate I had to go to, which was Mumbai. In such a case, this consulate is notified of your H1B approval and you cannot go elsewhere for stamping. Of course, this was 8 years ago so things might have changed.

Cubans are politically active and highly vocal in advocacy of their cause. Are you?

No they are NOT if you are talking about immigration!They are highly passionate and vocal in support for their own country and its leader (well are we???). Only reason they are enjoying immigration benfits is due to the US policy towards Cuba and its regime.

Well I do agree with you that we should avoid highlighting such issues and channelize our time and efforts towards the betterment of our own cause.

Me and my group of friends have used this method and the photos look better than the Walgreen/CVS ones. And they are already on US passports/other stuff.

Another cheap place is Sams Club, if you dont have a digital camera(pun intended) they give 3 photos for 5 bucks.

When I filed my 485, I gave My company address in all the applications. My company is in Washington State.

But I am actually working in California from past 7 years. The only place that I specified my current california address is in G325 (485 supporting document).

Also I move within california after filing 485.

Because I gave my company address in all the 485 applications, I did not even change my address in any of the applications. I only filed AR11 online for the address change. Advantage with online is, you will get a confirmation number.

That is what my company recomended me.

I got my EAD and all other receipts to the company address.

Waiting for AP and FP mails.

I also heard from my company that, my company will receive the finger print notice but the appointment office will be in california.

Hope this helps you.

What you did is perfectly o.k as you are inviting your documents at your employer's address. With this employer you have a work history. But in case of giving your friend's address or relative's address as your address for USCIS documents purpose may create a problem if in future if you do not mention that address as your past residence address in the "Address History" which generally require for any back ground checks.

I have 6 IV T- Shirts and I am wearing them already.

When ever I go to distribute the flyers I wear them, it will make others look at you.

Folks Don't wait till last minute, buy them now

they wanted to see the originals but copies were enough for submitting. as many of our members have experiances lately - with respective to stamping, its should surey help if we consider their advise's. good luck all.

On the second thought --- Do you think PR or Citizen Desi's are for us? Any thoughts?

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, please read my earlier posts on re-using finger prints through the BSS (Biometrics Storage System) implemented a while back by USCIS. Only a small number of applicants will get a second FP notice. See the below for more information:

Thanks for re-posting this. I obviously missed all your previous posts on this topic. It gives me some hope for approval next month; I haven't received a 2nd FP request since 9/28/07. (I have an LUD, I have an LUD yay!)


-Nola

In which state you are practicing as a PT??

Well Said.

Also the reason why Dream act is ahead of skilled immigration relief. Its all about votes !!!!

I think we should organize a blood donation campaign for saying thank you. Something very constructive and should get medias attention and put IV in a positive and innovative light.
What do you all think?

USCIS decided a date Jun 1, 2006 to be current for EB2, so that Visa Numbers are not lost this year. This they decided on the basis of numbers of applications they were able to process by Jul 8, 2008. We all know that I485 Processing Date for NSC was Jul 28, 2007 and TSC was July 17, 2007. These dates were posted on Jun 15 and by July 8, might have moved by a day or two.

Last year USCIS announced (I remember it was last quarter) that for processing all the files received will take around 18 months. We have just 6-9 months gone.

Jul - Sep, the Priority date should not change, because USCIS has to approve all the processed application, they think approvable.

In Oct, also it may remain same, but after that, it will not be able to sustain demand and face retrogression. Nov 2008 to Jun 2009 there may be seesaw of Priority Date +/-1 years of 2005.

Jul-Aug 2009 USCIS may come across similar situation as this year - but in this case all applications of July 2007 processed - I think that time PD will be some date in 2005.

Right now Processing date might be frozen of 2-3 months, because USCIS may put entire energy in approving EB2 processed cases.

Close your stupid post

First you whine and complain of why dates didn't move, now you are focusing on when dates will retrogress?


What is wrong with you all, if EB2 gets relieved from retrogress then next in line is EB3, First you all focus on reasons behind backlog and retrogression, come out with crazy analysis and now some idiots are putting on posts like
dates may retrogress, all these dates have been possible because of the efforts of all IV members. Nobody wants to hear negative news now.

Some other members with an idiotic ideology have similar posts


Eb2 bad luck
EB2 retrogress

Grow up guys, everyone worked hard to see some results, as per now don't break everyone's spirit by posting all these stupid forms. Think positive and positive will happen.

I am travelling Delta JFK - Bombay direct flight next week. No worries about transit. Actually I am more worried about delays and missing connecting flight in Europe.
I think Continental flies direct to New Delhi from U.S. (not sure from Chicago or New York).

Question for July I-485 filers.
Did anybody receive I-485 July Rejection Notice by mail?

They would not have received even one application on 7/1 as this is sunday.

What about I-131. That is 7/1/2007. Its confusing

it is on the approved labor certificate, that my lawyer gave me

How to find associated SOC code with DOT code (DOT code is on LC certification, OCC code , Ind COde and OCC title is on certified LC)? I tried to find my case in the MS Access databases (from year 2001 to 2007) but could not find my case at all. My PD is May 2004, and LC certified March 2006(was sent to Backlog Center in Dallas), which MS Access database do I need to look into?

My title on LC is programmer analyst (OCC code= 030.162-014), read thru the forum replies, found that programmer analyst have OCC code= 030.162-014 and SOC code=15-1031, most of them found their SOC code from MS Access database(some found in their Certified LC??? ). I am presuming my SOC code to be 15-1031, but wanted to confirm that. I am debating on invoking AC21, but need to make certain SOC code matches with future employer (future employer gave me job code as 15-1031) as my future title will be totally different (instead of programmer analyst, it will be IT Business Specialist).

Any help/hint will be highly appreciated.

My attorney today informed me just a week after he sent an email to them saying that case was closed in error they replied back saying they are reopening the case. wow that was fast...

Gurus,

My employer and lawyer won't give me the Receipt notice of my I-485 which we filed on July 2nd. My employer did not let me file my EAD/AP as well.

Do I have any way of filing EAD/AP on my own without a copy of the receipt notice(after it is generated and sent to the lawyer)?

Someone told me that Fingerprinting notice that we get looks just like I-485 receipt notice and has all the information in there. Can we use a copy of that notice in place of I-485 RN?

The application instructions for I-765 mention that we need to submit "I-485 receipt notice OR any other proof that I-485 is pending"

Any one?
