Saurav,
I also noticed the same. On 11/25, there was a new LUD on my case. But again on 11/27 I had new LUD and this time I received a email from USCIS that my card has been ordered. But my wife's status is as it is, her LUD is still 11/25.
Hope this helps.
Nothing to worry.....Thats what happened to one of my friends too...Primary applicant's status changed to card production ordered and no change on spouse's application...But a couple of days later both applications changed to welcome letter sent...So hang in there for a bit and congratulations...

In case of filing for a spouse (wife or husband) and dependent children, form I-764 clearly ask to provide evidence. Atleast most recent year Tax Returns are REQUIRED as per the form. My attorney updated me to present additional 2 years of federal tax returns (not the state) as well, which are optional. Remember these are REQUIRED alongwith W2s or 1099s.
i think you mean I-864
correct me if i'm wrong but we do not need to file this form, read the instructions on this link on who needs to file this form, an EB petitioner is not mentioned anywhere i can find:

Guys,
I just wanted to get an opinion of the gurus whether a person can deal with stock trading while on H1-B visa. Can someone point me to some documentation or laws on this? I plan to open an account with e-trade/scott trade .... Your comments are appreciated.
You can do stock trading on H1B.
You can own stocks. Don't you get stock options from your company?
I am doing it since 2000.

CIS could have asked for a copy of your previous Advance Parole, for example, in the I-131 RFE. Hopefully you have received the RFE by now so you know what it asks for. You should also have got the I-140 notice. If not, you should call CIS to see where they sent it in case it went to the wrong address.

Did they issue your EAD from the time the previous one expired or from the current date. If current date, you'd have lost about 3 months or validity.
Some people I know got EADs from the next day following the expiration of their current EAD. I however got from approval date. Its all so inconsistent.
I got EAD in 2 weeks from filing to receipt of cards in hand.
USCIS has certainly improved a lot.

Thanks for the reply.
So you mean to say that I will get the Approval for Visa Transfer, but with consular processing and I need to Travel to my country of origin to get Visa stamped and I will get new I-94 when I enter US again.
Am I correct?

All,
I did not contact the Ombudsmans Office or Aytes or AILA or DOS in order to discuss my personal case. It was just a part of my now years long efforts to bring attention to certain issues -- I've been speaking with staff at the Ombudsmans office for several years now, some issues and recommendations that have appeared in his report over the years were the result of these conversations.

hello,
Nothing is "forever." If you hire a good attorney, he/she can argue, that you did have immigrant intent in the past, but have abandoned it and will try to get you a visa. However, without a good lawyer, it may be very difficult to persuade a consular officer that you no longer wish to immigrate to the U.S. after entering here. Contact me via PM if you wish and I can get you in touch with attorney who can answer more questions of yours. Thanx.

All,
Background:
EB-2 India
Employment based petition
PD: Feb 2003
Labor approved (after a long wait at Backlog reduction Ctr)
I-140 filed
Waiting for PD to be current to be eligible to file I-485
To avoid further delays and have the necessary paperwork on-hand ready to file I-485 petition when PD becomes current, I had the following questions for the folks on this forum who have filed I-485 or are knowledgeable about the paperwork requirements:
1) Birth Certificate: I have my original birth certificate but it is not in English.
a. I have a translated notarized version in English from India. Will this suffice?
b. If not, can a birth certificate issued by the Indian Consulate General suffice?
c. Also, is this birth certificate required for spouse too if her name is added to I-485 petition?
2) Police clearance: I know that one has to go thru the FBI name check for US clearance and this is done by processing center after filing of I-485 petition.
a. Do I need to have a police clearance from India?
b. If so, can a Police clearance certificate from Indian Consulate General suffice?
c. Also, is police clearance certificate required for spouse if her name is added to I-485 petition?
3) Medical: I have the list of approved Doctor’s in my geographical area. However, I do not have my inoculation records. Hence, I believe the Doctor will administer the shots again.
a. How long does the approved Dr. to finalize the tests and administer the shots? Is this a 1 day or week(s) process before the Dr. hands over the sealed medical forms back?
b. How long is the medical test valid? (Is it valid for 1 month, 6 months etc)
4) Additional documentation: Is there any other documentation, not stated above, that has a long lead time that I can start to accumulate now?
Thanks in advance.
Folks, any one can help? I have same question regarding to Police cert.

I have I-140 filed and waiting for visa numbers to be current my PD is March 05 and Her name is given in I-140.
Since she will exhaust all her H1B years by end of this sept, he needs to be on either h4 or F1.
I have long wait for filing I-485, can she be on F1 in the meantime and then convert on H4 right before I could file for AOS?
Thanks

Hi all , Thanks for the responses. Actually Marriage certificate and medicals were in the packet, I forgot to list it here. After going through the instructions i see my employer sent the application to a wrong address.
Instructions say that for 140 related cases it should be sent to Nebraska or texas service center depending on where you live. Instead it has been sent to the Chicago lock box facility.
Now when i resubmit this package to the right place do I have to include a copy of the rejection notice(I 797 C)? also every page has a line printed on it sideways along the right edge. I am not sure if resubmission means sending the rejected packet as is or prepare the forms again and send the new ones.
In addition to checking the appropriate response in your I-485 form, you (wife)have to confirm that you are filing as a derivative of the husbands primary petition (Part 2, response should be "b" please make sure again! you may even use highlighter pen) you may include your husbands I-140 as well as Labor certification copies and highlight the Priority dates in these forms with brilliant colors.
Marriage Certificate is a must.
Also I would include the last years tax returns for your husband and the sealed medical clearance from your doctor, to make it rejection proof!
A cover letter as well as a "DO NOT OPEN IN MAIL ROOM" addressing the Service center director, and placing it over a double bagged packaging of the whole thing may also help.Somehow you have to convince the morons in the mail room that it is "RESUBMISSION DUE TO USCIS ERROR"
Wish you all the best!

You can file a new PERM under a new position, and should do so if your position has changed.

Just on the lighter note I wonder if even USCIS ignores that mistake and give you and your co-worker's wife a GC.
And if your co-worker's wife is from a county which is not retrogressed then you can get GC early based on alternate chargebility. Mistake can become boon many times. Just kidding.
Probably you will get RFE and not rejection.

The officer who interviewed you was absolutely incorrect. If you have maintained valid H-1B status you are NOT required to obtain an Advance Parole in order to travel without abandoning your AOS application.The following text from the USCIS Adjudicator's Field Manual makes this clear:
__________________________________________________ ______________
USCIS Adjudicator’s Field Manual, Chapter 23.2
…….(2) Exceptions to the General Rule .
Certain applicants for adjustment of status before USCIS are not considered to have abandoned their applications simply by having departed from the U.S., even if they did not obtain an advance parole prior to their departure. The following aliens fall within the exceptions to the general rule:
(A) H and L Nonimmigrants with “Dual Intent.”
Under 8 CFR 214.2(h)(16)(i) and 8 CFR 214.2(l)(16) , H-1B, H-1C, L-1A, and L-1B nonimmigrants, and their dependent family members in H-4 or L-2 nonimmigrant classification, may be eligible to maintain and extend their nonimmigrant status while their applications for permanent residence under section 245 of the Act remain pending. The approval of a labor certification or preference visa petition or the filing of an adjustment of status application may not be the basis for a denial of an application for extension of stay by an H-1B, H-1C, or L-1 nonimmigrant or an application for change of status within the H-1B, H-1C, or L-1 classifications.
As long as an H-1B, H-1C, and L-1 nonimmigrant remains compliant with his or her nonimmigrant classification, including restrictions on periods of stay, changes in employers, and conditions of employment, the mere fact that he or she has filed an application for adjustment of status does not render him or her ineligible for an extension of nonimmigrant status. Similarly, the mere fact than an alien has filed an application for adjustment of status does not make him or her ineligible for nonimmigrant classification as an H-1B, H-1C, or L-1.
Under 8 CFR 245.2a(4)(ii)(C) , H-1/H-4 or L-1/L-2 nonimmigrant adjustment of status applicants who are not in exclusion, deportation, or removal proceedings are not required to seek advance parole to travel abroad. They may be readmitted to the United States in the same status they maintained at the time of their departure, provided that they are able to demonstrate to the immigration officer at a port of entry that they:
• remain eligible for H-1/H-4 or L-1/L-2 classification,
• are in possession of a valid H-1/H-4 or L-1/L-2 nonimmigrant visa (if a visa is required), and
• are coming to resume employment with the same employer for whom they had been authorized to work as an H-1 or L-1 nonimmigrant (or, in the case of dependents, the spouse or parent through whom they received their H-4 or L-2 status is maintaining his or her H-1 or L-1 status).
If there has been a recent change of employer or extension of stay, the applicant, in order to comply with the third requirement noted above, must have evidence of an approved I-129 petition in the form of a notation on the nonimmigrant visa indicating the petition number and the employer’s name, or a notice of action, Form I-797, indicating approval.
__________________________________________________ _______________________________________________As you can see, there is no requirement that the AOS application be employment based. The regulation, 8 CFR 245.2a(4)(ii)(C) clearly applies to all H-1/H-4 and L-1/L-2 nonimmigrants, and not just those adjusting status based on employment.

Guys, HR 5882 is having Total recapture of 550,000 visas (Employment Based + Family Based) . We all were hoping that this bill would pass, but it did not pass in Judiciary Committee so far. Probably because of opposition from some lawmakers, may be group of some people due to current state of Economy.
But How about, if we would just try for "Recapture for Employment Based visas , for Adjustment of Status" ( EB Visa recapture Numbers are arround 218,000). By this way, no American job would be taken away as this is just a recpture of visas for just Adjustment of Status. So, if we can drop Family Based Visa Recapture from the bill (approx.332,000 visa), this bill might pass in the congress. Looks like, we do not have any choice and bill might still have possibility of passing in lame duck session. Don't get me wrong, I also want to keep Family Based Visas in the Current State of HR 5882 Bill. But if we would be able to pass just recapture of Employment Based visas at this stage, Family based visas recapture can be taken up later on. This is just a thought. IV core group and members can discuss this idea for further action.
