rumour say retrogression may lift on march 2009, is it true????

Dil ko khush rakhne ke leye, Ghalib yeh khyal be aacha hain. :rolleyes:

(Atleast his thought is good, to keep your mind at peace)

Well, at least someone will benefit out of this.

I hope this is a precursor to something more broader..

Excellent work! You need to start sending copies of those out to publications to see what kind of response you get...or possibly some stock photo companies. :)

Unseenguy, Thank you for the good, satisfying answer.

I have few questions:
(1) Let me allow my present company to file I-140 as regular processing (mark as 'I-485 processing' in I-140 part IV) and change it later, using I-824 to convert from AOS case to Consular processing for using AC-140? This is faster and easier. Whether my understanding is correct?

(2) What documents one needs for filing Consular Processing? Is it the same set of documents for filing I-485?

(3) I hear that one needs to get police clearance certificates. Where does they come from?

I look forward for your reply,

Thank you

I'm aware of the fact the SKIL Bill has been introduced both in the House and the Senate but it has been coupled with the CIR in the Senate.

If the CIR dies or is pushed out till 2009, what are the chances of SKIL bill being taken up for discussion?

If you look at the priority dates , they are moving along quite smoothly for rest of the world except India.

This scenario concerns me.

When people say the immigration system is broken they mean illegal immigrants. Only a few who understand and know the immigration system closely know that its broken with respect to legal immigrants also.

i filed my I-140 in may 07 and got RFE in NOV-07 and replied in dec07.

what that RFE was for?? education or pay??

You can still work on EAD and maintain your H4 as long as you do not go out of the country. If you go out and enter on AP, then you switch back to AOS, no reporting to USCIS is necessary. But if you can still file I-539 and switch back to H4 again.

But on H4 you can still work on EAD, while maintaining your H4 status.

I would ask everyone , pls be careful while responding to someone's querry. And the person asking should also consult a lawyer. In this case, since I am in the same boat, and the advice came from the lawyer. I just got my spouse H4 extended for another 3 years, the after 6 years extension, while she is working on her EAD.

That does not make sense! Peaople on H4 are not allowed to work, period! Thats how the Visa category is defined. Now, how will one on H4 to work? Enter EAD! So, while EAD allows him/her to work, it changes the Visa status (be it H1 or H4) to AOS. It does not matter if you travel outside or not.
I do not know how you extended your spouse's H4 with the help of the attorney. It is an error on USCIS part, may be because you (or your spouse's employer) have not notified the USCIS about your spouse using the EAD for employment.

Finally This Is My Turn To Rejoice. My Lawyer Email Me Saying That She Got Off From Phone From Dol And My Lc Is Approved.

1)how Long It Takes For The Physical Paper To Arrive? Do We Need That Physical Paper To File For 140 And 485?

2)the Online Status Still Shows "in Process"

Gurus, Please Help Me

I got mine in less than 2 weeks from DBEC. I think you need this to file 140.

Good info vxg. Thanks. I am wondering though how come your job duties didn't change when you got promoted from an engineer to a manager, unless I guess you are an engineering manager and not a business development manager? Just curious. :)
My duties increased, in past i was doing more tech work now i mostly manage people who do the same tech work but as i said it's all subjected to the lawyer and employer.

Application reached Nebraska on 27th July. Collected by R williams.
Got receipts for 485, 765 adn 131 from California service center(WAC XXXX).
Received Date: 27th July.
Notice date: 28th Sep.

140 is pending at Nebraska. Applied on 25th May 2007.

Great work IV core team! EB immigration will be benefited by the work done by IV core team sooner or later. Keep it up!!

One will wonder that Indian Government will do something as the India and her economy are benefited by EB immigration big time in last decade. In the global economy the overseas workers are the greatest strength India has and as usual they are completely ignoring the problems faced by EB immigrants in the USA.

Just a thought,


Involving India or any other foreign Government is not a good idea. It can result to severe backlash.

i missed the second part of your question.

i personally know a friend whose 1-140 was denied and their 485 is obviously pending....he is working on EAD, they have appealed for the 140. While the case is pending the EAD has been extended by 2 years.
Hope this helps.

I didn't file on July 5th but my attorney office says now they're receiving receipts for July 5th filers. Not sure if it's TSC or NSC...

I don't understand , people are started getting receipt filed in july'14th, july'16th. They are not processing July3rd through july'14th filing?.

I have sent my application on July5th to NSC. It is received by NSC at July6th.Did any one got receipts in 5th or 6th filer..

I didn't see much of filed between july'3nd through july '14th filings in this forum.

I am seriously considering downloading 7 just to try out the program :)

Thanks for the version info edwin, I might just search around for version 6 and see if I can get it cheaper than version 7 ( US$479.00 ).

Hi Everybody,

I know that nobody has an answer for my question, but still i would like to get the views/inputs from the seniors here , who have experience with USCIS.

When do you think a person with PD of Nov 2007 ,EB3 from India, would be able to file for 485??

Welcome to the GC journey!

My GUESS is atleast 5 to 8 years with the current laws.
(I may be too optimisic. It may be even 10+ years !)

I know one of the things that IV is figting for is to apply for I485 even when the dates are not current. (This is just one of the many things that IV is fighting for. Review the below thread for detailed info)
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=16298&highlight=year

So please continue to Support & Contribute to IV.

Hope you have a less wait time.

Instead of opening a new thread, I am posting my question here cause this is related to my attorney mess.

My attorney was telling me that he filed my case with NSC on july 2nd and instead of sending my application with fedex he went in person and filed it in person to be sure. (he filed 211 cases in all). I am asking him for the proof of filing and he is telling that since he handed applications in person, he didn't have any acknowledgment from USCIS.

Today is August 15th and Can I file my case myself today, so that it reaches before Aug. 17th. Basically since I had all papers with me except medical reports. What would happen if my first application is accepted before second application is opened for entry into system.


Any, suggestions.

Is there a transcript available somewhere. What was the outcome of this. Can someone explain the process?

Hello. First of all, thank you for reading and feedback. I need some advice on my immigration issue.

I entered the country with F-1 student visa six years ago. I obtained H-1B visa when I got a job after graduation. With my employer�s sponsorship, I applied for employment-base immigration visa and the application got approved (Perm EB2 China-born PD Feb 2006). I did not apply for H-1B renewal when it was expired and I am on I-485 (employment-based) pending status with my EAD up to now. My father is a neutralized US citizen and filed I-130 immigration petition for me. The petition got approved with PD of Jan 2004 (unmarried sons/daughters of US citizens over 21).

I understand that I am eligible for applying I-485 (family-based) petition along with EAD/AP as soon as my PD becomes current. I am especially eager to do so given the fact that the company that I am working at may initiate another around of layoffs. In addition, I do not want to go back to my original country to complete consular processing if I do not have to. However, I have a serious concern about applying for I-485 (family-based this time) again. Will USCIS give me trouble for my family-based I-485 application (along with EAD and AP) because I am already on AoS status with my employment? I do notice that, on the I-485 form, it specifically asked if that petitioner applied for AoS (adjustment of status) before and if yes, the result.

Thank you very much for reading and feedback. By the way, I still have the original I-94 record with F-1 student stamp to approve that I entered the country legally. So this should not be a concern.

Can someone give the website where I can check the case status? thanks.

Any more inputs anyone?

If you are driving close to the US border, they will check your documents.

I have driven to Brownsville, TX several times from Houston, and 150 miles north of the southern border, there is a check post which will stop each & every US bound car for immigration status check.

My wife & I keep a photocpy copy of all the pages of our passports, I-797's, EAD's even while driving in our city and carry the originals if we are driving out of the city- Just in case if we are asked by a cop or sheriff about our immigration status we don't want to get grilled.
