Good to see the count already three (here) in just 30 min of posting this idea (IV's one of the peaceful ways). So I am sure there will be huge response. Please spread this message as much as you can, and see if we can gather a good #.
ALSO we will have to wait for IV Admin to approve this, as I am just a junior member and dont have that capacity. WE MUSt start one more campaign.
Please spread this among your friends and make a difference. On this INdependence eve, lets work in the same lines as those great people did. We may like one leader or we may not like due to their approaches. But one most common thing you will see in all is UNity in what they did and strength came from there. What we are asking isnt that big a deal to fix. Simple admin fix

If one applied 485 on july/ aug 2007 when he is single and now planning to get married he can always support his spouse to bring her to usa if the person is still working for same H1B employer who have filed his 485 application with out transferring his H1B, he should be on H1B and 489 should be AOS.

I am still waiting for my card, but I received a FP notice yesterday. I think I'll get my card once I am done with my FP.
Thats great. Atleast something is happening. On your welcome notice, did it say that you'll need new finger prints? My welcome notice said I'll get my card in 3 weeks, did not mention anything about FP.

Hello -
As a Primary Applicant my GC was approved (EB-1) but for my wife's application I got an RFE. RFE - USCIS is asking for a VALID wedding certificate showing proof of a hindu wedding under hindu act (dont ask what I was doing or what my lawyer was doing while submitting 485)
Now I have about 28 days (total is 30) to respond to it. I have not rcvd. my GC but it has been approved and has been sent to production. My lawyer told me that as my GC has been approved my VISA is not good anymore. My wife was on dependent visa and so is my kid.
Now as my GC got approved.......my visa got cancelled...........my wife's & kids visa is invalid.............and we did not file for Advance Parole so we cant travel. On top of all this we dont have a wedding certificate.
Any suggestion to address this situation? I cant get a certificate without going back to India and I cant leave the country as If I do so I wont get to enter the country again. Even if somehow (on some legal basis) I can re enter I dont think my wife and kid will be able to re enter US.
If I dont produce evidence then my wife's application will be rejected putting her out of status.............gosh what a mess.....
ANY SUGGESTIONS FROM ANYONE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED. Murali please respond with any possibility which I can explore upon.
Thanks
My sympathies to you.
However I don't understand how your wife and kids got depedendant visa. I don' think one can get a H4 or L2 visas with out marriage certificate first place, unless your wife came here on F1 visa here.
Anyway, You can apply marriage certificate with Indian Consulate. You may want to visit there with wedding pictures and passport there to get your certificate

What about if one comes back on AP and hence has to use EAD but also has a valid H1 approval ( but no stamping in the passport ) . Can they go back and use that H1 approval for stamping and come back on H1 ? They are still working for the same company which sponsered the H1 and the GC
if you use AP- you dont have to use EAD- you can continue to use H1
and get it stamped the next time you go to consulate.

Hi Attorneys/Seniors,
I got an offer from US company.They themselves started processing the H1 transfer
LCA Story:
Applied Date:02/08/2010
Denied Date:02/17/2010
Denial reason Source of the Wage entered wrongly
ReApplied Date:02/18/2010
Approved Date:02/25/2010
H1 Story(Premium Process):
FedEx Delivery Date: 03/04/2010
USCIS EMail Date:03/15/2010
USCIS Received Date:03/12/2010 (According to Email)
End of Day 03/16/2010 Status online:Acceptance(desc says received date is 03/15/2010 )
Approved Date:03/17/2010( USCIS Email received by 03/18/2010)
Looks like we need a month time to transfer our H1 though.
Are H1 is Really in a speciality Occupation?
When we apply 1st time they are asking all the documents which is fine.
When we apply Extension they are asking all the details with Paystubs,client letter.
When we apply Transfer they are asking all the details with Paystubs.
Unless theyUSCIS) make a rule like H1 can work for any employer we suffer a lot and feel like slaves which is bad.There are lot of mental pressure when we deal with any H1 suff(new H1,H1 transfer,H1 extension).
The problem of changing employer you have to hold your current employer untill your transfer is approved.Also the Transferring company they need to wait for one month.

Gurus,
I�m bachelor. I�m planning to get married in another 6 months. Should I apply for I-485? If I should, can I add my spouse later to the I-485 application before I-485 is approved and priority date is not current. :confused:
Here is one of my friend in the similar situation planning to do. He is filing 485 without any medical exam. Certainly, he is going to get query and after query you have 40 days (double check this number) to reply. So, he'll get some time to go and do wife hunting.

I also don't think this is true. After you get your 3-year H1B extension beyound the 6-year limit and say your 485 gets denied while you are in 7th year, you can still stay and work for the rest of the 2 years on your H1B and use those 2 years to file for new LC etc.
Gurus, please advise, with the slew of mistaken 485 denials this is an important point to clarify.
He will be out of status. Your 3 year extension beyond the allowed 6 years is based on that LC/I-140 from which your I-485 was filed. If the I-485 is rejected you have no right to stay beyond 6 years.
It is best to not use more than 3 years of H-1 if you have a pending I-485. That way you have 3 more years of H-1 in case you get rejected. The pending I-485 gives you unlimited time in the form of EAD/AP. Dont waste your H-1 time.
It only makes sense to keep H-1 while you have AOS if your country of chargeability is ROW, which is usually current. If your country is backlogged, it will most likely extend your H-1 over six years. Please consult a proper immigration attorney before you do anything.

Awesome, ur IV family appreciate you. Folks like you are inspiration to all of us.
I was the guy from Sweden. I agree with the Russian student.
The reason I was there was because my green card process was a painful and stressful experience for 5 years. And I was still one of the lucky ones! I don't want to put anyone through the same agony, not even my worst enemy. I really feel for the people still stuck in the mess.
I talked to a Polish guy who had been here 9 years fully legally and could not leave. He had not seen his family in 9 years and did not want to risk going back just in case they would not approve his H1B in his home country. They are very strict there it seems, because none of his family members or friends could not even get a tourist nor visit visa to see his graduation. Shocking!
I was glad I showed up at the rally just to hear all the peoples' stories.
Most people who did not show up probably think they are ok after applying the i485. They will join IV rallies, when they realize how wrong they are. People have applied for i485s years ago and still don't have a green card...
You are in trouble until you get your green card in your hand.

I like your optimistic attitude but unfortunately I don�t share it because of past and current behavior of USCIS, like for instance how they willfully disregarded the 180 day name check memo. Do you really believe them when they say name check will be cleared in 2009, just like the current name check memo the fbi name check clearance will be thrown in a dustbin. If by a miracle name check is solved they will come up with some other check delay for example IBIS name check delay. the bottom line is if there is a will there will be a way, USCIS has no will what so ever to help us. Good luck to everyone but just build a reservoir of patience because if you have hope on USCIS you will pay dearly.
USCIS is trying to make EB2 all countries Current sometime during FY 2009. Of course "a few" 2004, 2005 cases will still be pending past Oct08 but hopefully not too many.
If EB1 and EB2 are shown as current soon, then the DOS can transfer the so-called "spillover" into EB3 ROW, then into EB3 IN & CH.
Based on available numbers, EB3 India / China will see rapid movement in dates April 09 Visa Bulletin onwards.
What will happen during 2009 in all likely hood is the following,
Almost all EB1 spillover will go to EB3. (~ 25k)
Some of EB1 and all of EB2 spillover will go to EB2 IN/CH (~ 10k to 15k)
In 2009, there will be no more Name Check delays - therefore expect rapid EB3 approvals after April 09.

If he stayed for 180 days and used AC21 then AC21 WILL protect this person
Just to add, this is the risk of not working for the company after getting the EAD. The employer can easily prove that the person had no intention of working for the company. AC21 cannot protect that person.

I had the exact same RFE. I'm on H1 since 1998, and you can imagine how many times I have left and entered USA. I have about 8 H1B extensions. Here's what I sent...
1). Cover Letter stating list of document to show evidence of law ful status in US.
2). I-94 card issued by CBP at the last port of entry.
3). ALL the H1B extension notices issued by USCIS. Its important that there are no gaps in dates on the extension/change of status notices.
4). passport copy containing all US visas and entry and exit stamps.
5). A document explaining the entry and exit dates matching the stamps in the passport.
6). Few pay stubs from the current H1B/green card employer that you are currently working.
7). Few W-2s for last few years.
Usually the I-94 that is on the extension of stay issued by USCIS is the same number thats issued by CBP at the Port of Entry. So, USCIS should be able to match the entry and exit information and extension of stay notices
I'm sure they know that one surrenders the white I-94 card when they leave US.
Hi ,
I received RFE on my I-131 application asking for all the I-94's that is being issued to me.
I had been in and out of US many times and there's lot if I-94's involved and I don't anything with me except the latest. What options do I have?... Also couple of times during my earlier trip (initial visits in US), the AIR Line didn't even take the I-94 from my Passport which ultimately I lost.
My Passport has all the entries indicating my Date in and Date out...
Gurus - What do you advise on my case...
Anybody's input are highly appreciated and I know we could somehow get the I-94 copies by requesting USCIS. (That is time consuming)... I have to respond in next five to ten days...
What options do I have?...
Thanks.

What else do we want, when we have people willing and taking efforts to go to DC sacrificing their personel time, family and spending their own money. Time has come for everyone to come forward and contribute money. They along with QGA are meeting the senators.
For those who have contributed more than once, thanks a lot to you guys. For those who have not contributed so far, please come forward and please contribute money. Contributing money to IV is not going to make you rich or poor. By contributing money to IV you are doing a favor to yourself.

Folks,
Here is the same old Cockney reply from TSC on inquiry for my wife's case through my area congressman:
TSC is currently processing I-485 visas based on filing date order. There are a large amount of cases that are being worked and your case will be worked in receipt date order. With the limited amount of visas that are currently available between now and September 30, 2009, there is no guarantee that your case can be completed before the end of FY2009. It is estimated, that in general, your case will be completed between 45 and 90 days.
Thank you for your inquiry and please do not hesitate to contact us again if you have further questions regarding this case.
Obviously that logic is bull crap, otherwise I also won't have been approved. We have the same receipt date and everything...........I guess there is so much we can do....
SoP
SOP - Tell your congressman you got approved with the same day as your spouse and there are people who got approved in the later dates as well. Ask them to follow up with USCIS with the same. If not since USCIS has sent this info in written, tell them you will take legal action, if this is the reason.
