Hi krustycat,
Any update on your I-485 application? I am in the same boat too, my attorney mailed our applications to Nebraska, nothing received so far. I did call the USCIS with the given # below, but they are asking me to wait another 10 more days, and they said they cannot submit Service request. -Thanks!

Hello:
Can some please help me here ?.
Iam on H4 and I applied for H1 through a consulting company and got it approved last month. I haven't got my I797 form yet.
I have applied for EAD through my husband's company. I think EAD may take few more months to get approved. My questions are:-
1. what status am I on right now ?
2. Is it true that only after getting H1 visa stamp I will be moving to H1 visa ?.
3. How to move to EAD as I don't want to pay payroll fees ?.
Thanks,

You were on dual status till Sep 30th which is AOS & H1B. From Oct 1st your H1B has expired but you are in country on AOS status. You have a valid EAD that will allow you to work. So no worries as far as status issue goes. I know many folks who have willingly let their H1B expire and moved to EAD.
If you need to move back to H1B it is possible your lawyer needs to file a Nunc Pro Tunc H1 application so that it is backdates to Oct 1st.

Thanks Nathan for quick response.
But what do i need to do? Do i have to change my place of birth in my indian passport? Can i have "Nepal" as place of birth in my indian passport? Do i still remain indian citizen or would it be considered a fraud? I think, my parents put india as birth place, so i dont face any difficulty in india. what does Indian constitution say about citizenzip?
Are there more people like me here? who were born outside of india, but are Indian citizens?
Thank you for help
People who were born outside India can be Indian Citizen. But you need to have the only one country as birth place. Otherwise it will create trouble for you with USCIS

I was on I-485 status on my EB3 application working on EAD. My I140 for Eb2 application got approved today while also requesting porting of priority date.
I believe USCIS would have automatically switched the 485 application to use the new EB2 I-140 instead of old EB3-I140
Now my question I am ready to renew my EAD. I wanted if there will be any problem with my EAD application since it is now transfered to an Eb2 position.
My pririty date is still not current....

Hello,
Last November I quit my job in the US and left the country as well. Two days ago, I received an email saying my 485 is approved, and card production was ordered. The card will go to an address in the US where someone can forward me the mail.
What should I do? Try to enter the U.S. with the card? What to say to POE officials? WIll I be questioned?
Thanks.
Once you get your green card, you are supposed to go work for the company who applied for your green card or work in a same or similar job. So it is good to have a job offer in hand. Talk to an Attorney on what are the potential questions at POE as you have been out of the country for a long time.

YHowever, you will need to join company B at some point in time. This is what my company B told me. I believe it is once you file your 485 but I am not sure.
You need to intend to work for the sponsoring employer once permanent residence is approved.

I see 2 sets of people in this forum. One who has recent priority date (2005-2007) and they want to process I-485 by receipt date and another set who has much older PD, they want I-485s processed by priority date.
Guys, this is awkward.. There is no point in keep fighting and speculating..we will wait and see

Did u take Infopass appt. for EAD & AP together...? On the infopass form once fill only one receipt # right..?? My application was recd. by USCIS on 7/7...90 days is from recd. date...isn't it..? and not Notice date.? 90 days will be up for me by tomorrow 11/5..I still have no EAD & AP..! Can i take EAD & AP appt. together on same day for Infopass.? Or should i call USCIS reg. my case...Thanks..!!
There is no option in infopass to take both ead and AP. I took the one for interim-EAD , but like I mentioned above, this tuesday it will be 2 weeks after infopass and still no EAD for me, wonder how AP got approved without EAD , does it happen like this ?

I will be taking up a new job and I have been told by the new employer that, benifits will start after 30 days.
I presently have insurence through my employer. My understnading is that, insurence stops the day I leave the present employer. Now how do i handle the stop gap in insurence to be on safer side...??
Any help is appreciated...
You can choose to continue the insurance, the employer should provide this option. It looks expensive, but it is just for a month time, on the safe side, you can take this.

initially I was mad, becasue I remembered the revised July 2007 visa bulletin that came out declaring a reversal. Since NSC is going slow, I thought that DOS has once again pulled back on the dates. Later on I realized that its a mistake by the thread owner and got pissed off, and finally all I can do is laugh on the entire brohaha. Can't decide if we should give red dots OR green dots to the thread owner

NO. It shouldn't create an issue. The key is to "have the guarantee of a same or similar position available for you on permanent basis" at the time of RFE. How many jobs you changed before that is not of a concern.
But t is very important that you act quickly. When you deal with a big employer, the bureaucratic delays can kill weeks quickly, and you will find getting late for your RFE reply.
Contact the employer with "permanent offer" and let them know of the urgency, get in touch with their lawyer, and get the letter framed ASAP. You dont even have to start working with them before sending the letter.
The other option is to get the "employment verification" from your current consulting employer. The only advantage I see here is "probably" time.
Is it not risky to move when your RFE response is pending? I worked for just 2 employers for 9 yrs between 2000 -- 2009
then since March I have so far been with 2 employers and now 3rd PERM offer.. I am concerned if that can create issues..

I am in Philadelphia so i would assume Vermont center. Is that a fair assumption, coz i have a previous I-140 and to the best of my knowledge it had gone to the Vermont center back then.
However back in the day there was no premium processing for I-140 so things may have changed :(
Has anyone in the North east USA recently received any approvals from the Vermont center?

Some are of the opinion that filing AC21 draws unnecessary attention & scrutiny of your application (apparently which would not happen if you do not file AC21).
But I found this article from Murthy.com to be conclusive on this matter.
MurthyDotCom : Risk of GC Rescission for Failure to Notify Change of Job / Employer! (http://www.murthy.com/news/n_risres.html)
Filing AC21 is the safest approach -- I guess there is no need worry if the papers are in line.
I continue to be amazed at how much opinion differs on this matter among the immigration lawyers community. If you ask Ron Gotcher, he would come out guns blazing telling you that you are nothing short of a fool inviting trouble if you pro-actively inform USCIS of job change under AC21. He claims to have seen "monster" RFEs result from such notifications, causing unnecessary and avoidable pain. On the other hand, Murthy is strongly in support of such notification, claiming that they haven't seen any additional RFEs from such notification, and that it's best to inform USCIS of job changes. They give the example of avoidance of future GC rescission as the motivation.
So, who's telling the truth? Maybe Ron has a point. Maybe Murthy encourages AC21 notification because it brings additional business to them. Or maybe Ron is blowing hot air..and Murthy is right. Who knows...
At the end of the day, it boils down to you. Who do you want to trust?

In Get In The Line? What Line? The Tragic Tale of Employment Based Immigrant Visa Delays (http://ailaleadership.blogspot.com/2009/10/get-in-line-what-line-tragic-tale-of.html), I stated that:
This delay in legal, employment based immigration is a crisis for America. If you are an intending immigrant, and your immigration option is employment based, do you have the patience the wait 15 years for your green card? Can you do better in Australia, Canada, or even back home in our home country? What is the cost to our future competitiveness of a broken legal immigration system? What is the cost to U.S. innovation? The Department of State just released its annual numbers for cases received by the National Visa Center, awaiting issuance of an immigrant visa at a consulate. The report says this:
The following figures have been compiled from the NVC report submitted to the Department on November 3, 2009, and show the number of immigrant visa applicants on the waiting list in the various preferences and subcategories subject to numerical limit. All figures reflect persons registered under each respective numerical limitation, i.e., the totals represent not only principal applicants or petition beneficiaries, but their spouses and children entitled to derivative status under INA 203(d) as well. Okay, the bottom line numbers? Bad, very bad. The total Family Numbers waiting for a priority date: 3,369,455, including 1,727,897 in the Brother and Sister (FB-4) category. At the 65,000 annual number level for that category, that is a 26.5 year wait (ignoring per country limits). The total Employment Numbers awaiting a priority date: 130,509, including 119,759 in the EB-3 category. This is at least a 3-4 year wait (again, ignoring per country limits). So, 3.5 million people waiting in line, or is it? The reality is worse. These do NOT include the those cases pending at USCIS!
If we ad in the numbers pending at USCIS (as best we know them), the situation is far more grave. Family based petitions pending at USCIS in June 2009 (no new numbers are easily available), were 1.1 million, bring the total backlog to 4,400,000 for family cases. Employment based cases pending at USCIS in June 2009 numbered 80,000. This bring the total up to 210,000 for EB-3 cases. Wow!
It gets worse though when you realize this simple fact. The numbers from the National Visa Center do not include cases for folks NOT consular processing. Frankly, and just just like in October when I first wrote about this, we do not really know exactly how many cases are pending immigrant visa availability. What we do know is that the legal immigration system is broken.
When we hear politicians and uninformed folks yelling about illegal immigration and telling folks to wait in line like everyone else, the answer is, What Line?
These numbers once again poignantly express the dilemma that legal immigrants have. Many feel, justifiably, that any immigration reform must FIRST focus on legal immigration reform, cutting down wait times to reasonable periods, BEFORE anyone who entered into or remained in the U.S. without permission is given ANY legal benefits. The answers are simple here, the question is, are there any politicians with enough courage to vote for real legal immigration reform?https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/186823568153827945-373880418577926333?l=ailaleadership.blogspot.com
