Dear All,
I've approved H1 until Apr 2011 (expired stamping in the passport) and also have EAD (I applied 485 when my family was out of country, my mistake). But as my family don't have their 485 applied, I have to be on H1. Now my confusion is when I travel out of country can I use AP to re-enter or I have to use H1 only as my family is on H4?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Guys,
My company is forcing everyone to fill I9 form. I have EAD but maintaining H1 status and did not use EAD. I did some research on I9 and it is no where mentioned that only people with EAD has to fill this. I need Guru's opinion on this.
I just don't want to loose my H1 status in any case.

What a piece of work from the man who warned us about death panels in the health care bill. His grasp of the facts don't seem to be much better when it comes to USCIS' enforcement of H-1B rules. From this letter, you would think USCIS is sitting around eating bon bons and not engaged in one of the most serious crackdowns in the H-1B program in decades. Most immigration lawyers who saw this memo today are probably scratching their heads because they've recently gotten requests for evidence asking for exactly the kind of documentation Grassley complains USCIS is not...

To the experts on this forum
I applied for EAD and since last 4 months no action has been taken by TSC on my application. After 90 days, the local office gave me an interim EAD for 3 months. I have also initiated a status enquiry by the customer service at USCIS but haven't rec'd any updates till now. My question here is
1. What other options do I have, since from Oct 1, 06 local office won't issue interim EAD's as a policy change by USCIS.
2. Can I apply concurrently for second application. It seems my first application is lost.
Has anyone earlier been in same boat and has taken any other steps.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys-
I am on H1B, working in US. I got my status changed from F1 to H1B last yr and never got it stamped ever since. I am going to get married next month in India and would require a visa stamp on my passport. I believe it is a straight forward process but would appreciate your experiences and suggestions for this.
1. I am planning to take visa appointments both for myself and my future wife togther at the Delhi consulate (ofcourse by paying separate fee). Can I do that here in US for both of us?
2. Once I get an appointment, we both should appear togther for the interview (for my H1B and her H4) . Right?
3. The forms 156 and 157 are required to be filled during the interview but not while taking appointments. Is it right?
3. I will take all my docs. along with our marriage certificate, and pictures from wedding. Do I need something extra to that?
Please suggest me any other important thing which I should be aware of in this process.
Thanks much!:)

Hi,
I am a July 2007 filer (EB3 India). In the coming weeks, my employer is opening up senior position in different states and has encouraged existing employees to apply.
If my employer is open to offering me a job for the new position, (and process a EB2 PERM/I-140 for the new position) what would be my option with the existing I-485.
Is it recommended to keep the existing I-485 as is an file a new one? Or should the existing one be updated with the new I-140 (EB2) when that gets approved? How does it affect AC21 portability if existing I-485 is updated.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD MORNING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can you do to participate?
1) Vote on the poll/survey created by Pappu.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum14-members-forum/1599353-want-to-file-485-when-pd-is-not-current-gather-here.html
Then please send an email to ivcoordinator@gmail.com (starsun) with subject - "I485 filing without current PD - Impacted Member". Include your a) IV username b) Email address c) Phone #, d) State of Residence e) Priority Date - so that grassroot efforts can be coordinated
2) Print out below Flier and circulate at all asian/indian malls/groceries/theaters. Forward the flier to your friends/co-workers and ask them to do the same.

A reader sent me a link to a post at the The Future of Capitalism blog reminding folks that being pro-immigration fits right in to a conservative agenda: David Cameron, the British "Conservative" Party leader who favors a top income tax rate of 50%, also wants immigration restrictions that would limit Great Britain's population over the next 20 years to 70 million. The Financial Times has an editorial with some reasons this is a bad idea. Here in America, the restrictionist Federation for American Immigration Reform is a bronze sponsor of next month's National Tea Party Convention. Here at FutureOfCapitalism.com,...

Hi,
I just found this forum and it is really nice place to get some practical information from people gone through all this. I will be applying for Adjustment of Status as I am getting married to a US citizen and I am not. The only thing that I cannot figure out for now is:
Do I have to fill out I-130 and submit it along with the I-485? I am currently on H2B visa in the usa, never been out of status just extended my stay a couple of times. I have my I-94. Also my H2B will expire end of September. Do I have enough time by then to fill out my papers so I do not get out of status. I am getting married by the end of August.
Thank You!

I had applied EAD back in 2009.
I received my EAD which was valid from 06/02/2009 to 06/01/2010.
I had applied 485 back in August 6,2007.
So here are the questions:
1) Some of the instruction says, we should not pay for EAD application if we applied on or after 30 July 2007 though I applied in 2009 with application fee of $375.
Should I get back the above filling?
2) Why the EAD was issued for 1 year instead of 2 years for the first time?
3) If I apply now should I file with application fee? Because some instruction says that I donot have to send filing fee as this is a renewal.
4) Can I file electronically?
5) Should I file for EAD to Nebraska office where I filed 485 back in 2007?
Thanks in advance.

First, IV truely rocks! Thank you so much guys for all the great work you've done so far!
I've few questions related to I-485 filing:
1. I've single Date-Of-Birth affidavit from both of my parents, will that be an issue? Can USCIS issue me a RFE for not submitting two separate affidavits from each parents?
2. Will it hurt to submit copy of canadian green card having DOB as an additional proof? Also, I'd my fingerprints verified by FBI for canadian immigration, will that speed up my fingerprinting verification for US immigration?
3. I'm only submitting last year 2006 tax return in my 485 filing whereas my lawyers wanted last three IT returns? Will that be a problem?
Thanks a lot in advance for reading my post and answeing my questions.
Please Keep up the good work!
