Hi,
I have applied 485 through a lawyer. The lawfirm sold their company to some one else. I was asked to file G28 and I didn't file for G28 yet.
I got a mail saying I was sent RFE n Feb 4th. I haven't received the letter yet. Would the RFE go to lawyer or me?
What should I do now?
Thank you.
Isn't it strange that even though Eb3-I PD Mar 04 is not current, they opened the file and sent RFE?

You should just provide a valid reason for your case for the senator to help. All senators have direct lines to immigration offices. They can expedite your case and the results are astonishing.
My cousin left to india for an emergency and his AP was pending. Contacted senator and got it approved immediately in a day.
I also heard that one person got his 140 approved in a week. Not sure what reason he provided.
But senators are certainly helpful unlike Indian politicians.
With reference to some one’s case being transferred to the BEC, there are 300,000 other people in the same boat so hold you’re horses.

I am going to file application for renewal of EAD of my spouse.She was on H-4 when she came to USA and she got EAD last year. She will start working from Aug 08. She has not used her EAD till now but went to India on AP.
1.What is manner of last entry and the current immigration status for her? Is it Parolee or H4 status in both cases?
2.I have filed I-485 after July 2007. Can I E-file? As I read somewhere on forum that On or after July 30, 2007, applications may not be electronically filed and must be submitted to a Service Center via regular mail or courier service.
Thank you.
Here is the update.
1. If your wife used AP @ POE then Parolee ( AOS - Pending)
2. You can e file but you have to go for FP.
Thanks.

If he has his Green Card and as long as it is not conditional (meaning a 2 year green card based on marriage), he should be able to apply for citizenship just like any other green card holder after satisfying all the citizenship requirements (listed in the link below):

I am married to GC holder who is becoming USC on April 30. so i am sending my AOS application on May 1. Dont you think i am still in status since my H1b extension petition is pending????

Are you married to a USC? If so, you have nothing to worry about. Do not travel until your GC is approved as AP is not 100% safe for people that overstayed.

I was in a similar situation, and they got my PP H1 because of my overseas travel.
If you get a H1 extension before you travel, you can show the new H1 (I-797) at the POE and the inspector will stamp Mar 08 on your new I-94.
If your H1 is not approved by the time of your return, you can have Mar 07 on your I-94, and your extension approved thereafter is valid. The I-797 will have a I-94 that'll be valid till Mar 08.
The gray area, it seems, is if your H1 is approved when you are outside the country. In that situation, apparently, you need to get a visa stamp before you re-enter US. If you think that you could be in this situation, check with an attorney. I think they call this the "Last Action Rule".
I have my H1-stamping and I-94 valid until March 07, My H1 extension was applied during Nov - 06, but not approved yet....In the mean while, can I visit India and return by Feb 07 ? On my return, I will still get my I-94 till March 07, but Once my H1 extension is approved it will have the I-94 attached to it till Mar 08, is this I-94 valid ?
My employer is saying that, the new I-94 that I got from my H1-extension is not valid and they have to file a new H1 OR I have to convert the H1 extension to Premium and travel with the approved H1 extension ?
Please advise. Thanks

I think it is better. Your EAD and AP will be processed faster because they are in CSC and your I-485 is in TSC, which is better than NSC.

H1B Visa Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
Each month, annual preferences and foreign state limitations are subdivided by the Visa Office into monthly portions based on the applicants reported at consular posts and CIS Offices. If there is a sufficient amount of visas in a category to supply the demand then that category is considered �current� but when the demand over-exceeds the allotted supply of visas the category is considered �oversubscribed.� This is when a visa cut-off date is established, the cut-off date is the �priority date of the first documentarily qualified applicant would could not be accommodated for a visa number.�

According to a recent USCIS guidance an employer may not hire an H-1B worker prior to USCIS approving the H-1B petition unless the employee (i) is currently in H-1B status, or (ii) is the beneficiary of a timely filed H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) extension of status petition. If the employee is in another nonimmigrant status, such as F-1 (student) or L-1 (intracompany transfer), the employer must wait until USCIS approves the H-1B petition before hiring the foreign worker.
Under section 214(n) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, a worker who "was previously issued a visa or otherwise provided [H-1B] nonimmigrant status" is authorized to begin working upon the filing of an H-1B petition by his or her new employer. This provision is often referred to as H-1B portability. Congress passed the law to allow employers to hire H-1B workers without having to wait for the government to adjudicate the H-1B petitions (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html), a process that can often take several months.
The issue was raised to the USCIS Verification Division after employers received nonconfirmations from the E-Verify system when they hired H-1B workers under H-1B portability and the workers were not, at the time of hire, in H-1B status, or were not the beneficiaries of H-1B extension petitions. In the exchange, the USCIS Verification Division stated that the agency does not consider those employees to be work authorized. Please contact our office for further information.

My wife has H4 stamped and valid till Nov 2008 but from Oct 2007 she changed her status to H1B. She has I797. My question is when she goes to India does she need to stamp H1 B or she can reenter on already stamped H4 ?
Please Let me know this information.

Friends,
My EB2 I-140 got approved during 1st week of April and USCIS successfully ported my EB3 priority date of Jan, 2006 to the new EB2 I-140. As per my attorney, interfiling shouldn't be done as I have been with same employer all along and same employer sponsored for my porting. The attorney says, this should be automatically taken care of by USCIS.
My question is...I couldn't find the proper procedure/documentation for my scenario. Did any body come across this situation and can any one offer any suggestion?
Thanks for any inputs,

My attorney submitted my I485/EAD/AP last July 20th, the USCIS in Nebraska received it on July 23 by R. Pitcher at 9.29 am, since then I have no information on checks, LUD or receipts.
I reviewed all the information sbmitted by my attorney and I fond that she sent my paperwork using FEdex to:
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Nebraska Service Center
850 S Street
PO Box 87845
Lincoln, NE
US 68508
After taking a look to the USCIS site the address is correct but she missed the PO BOX numbers and wrote 87485 do you think this is a problem, please advise guys. what can I do
Thanks

what would be the likely effect of this ?
The purpose behind this move is to make the process more efficient and to reduce fraud by having each service center specialize in processing a particular form. But if the BECs are anything to go by, I will be surprised if this doesn't make things worse.

The only benefit of F1 over H4 is you get to use OPT and CPT. Doing an internship may be very beneficial if you are doing a MBA. After that OPT helps you to settle in a job and deal with H1B filing quota risks.
Regarding the downside of F1, many universities don't give instate tuition eligibility to students on F1. On H-4, you may pay instate tuition to many universities. So, check with the university that you are planning to attend.
Also, it will be very difficult to get a F1 visa stamp on your passport if I140 has been filed for you in the past. Its not a problem if you don't want to travel outside the country during your studies.
my 2 cents...
