Irrespective of I-140, you may add your dependents names during 485 filing stage if you date is current.

I have a generic question which some you might know the answer to:
1) Why TSC is late in issuing receipt compared to NSC?
2) Looks like more applicaiton were filed at NSC than at TSC, Why?
3) Why even then TSC is late in issuing reciept?
4) Which one is faster in approving 485, TSC or NSC?
5) Does any body know how many application each service center recieved during the VB fiasco?

I think even if employer revokes or cancels and if you have approval copy of I-140 you can port the date. Please consult some good immigration attorney.

The sad part about the Brokow's report is that he focused on H1B issue and not the real problem which is the green card issue.
Yes, people come on H1B - however, for those immigrants to put down the roots, it has to happen through green cards and not H1B extensions (neither one of which was mentioned in the report). I am not sure if this is a two part series, but it should be.
IV members should write to MSNBC Nightly News to do a more in depth story on immigration problems of the high skilled immigrants.

Interfiling can be a success or a failure depending on how you/your lawyer treats the case.
I know someone who successfully got his interfiling done from a 2007 EB2 to 2004 EB3 date and has the GC already.
Now,
Even if your lawyer files the case perfectly there is a chance that the case lands with an IO that either doesnt "LIKE" interfiling or doesnt understand it. So then again the casse might take longer than usual.
But as far as I know , cases are done and I havent seen any case that was filed properly being rejected, nevertheless there are people who are still waiting for adjudication but not rejected.

You are more than welcome to do the stamping in any country... just that if your name comes under TAL or any other check, you would end up enjoying that country for longer than you had intended originally...
I have been to Canada twice for stamping - no issues, just realized that they have become more strict in evaluating candidates - one friend of mine enjoyed Toronto for about 1.5 months (originally intended for 2 days).
So talk to your lawyers and be safe and comfortable :)
As said, you can go any US consulate to get your Visa stamped, I got my twice in Canada, once in Dublin, once in London, most times I was travelling on business, I know if there is somethging wrong my company and the lawer will be there. It depends on your company, I guess...

Hello,
I am working on H1-b visa. My green card stage: Priority date July '06, EB3, India. I-140 approved, I-485 filed Sept'07. I don�t intend to use EAD for employment now.
I have a need to get my future spouse on H-4 visa. With EB3 India priority dates retrogressed, filing dependent I-485 for spouse is years away. (Unless rules change!)
Question 1: IF I loose my H1-b status (job loss) and find a new job using my EAD, my spouse on H-4 goes out of status. So what all options do I have to keep her in a valid status?
Question 2: Proactively, say my spouse (when on valid H-4 status) starts a Masters program (part-time) at a University, can she file for a H4 to F-1 change of status (COS) that very week or month I loose my job. Or are there any serious timing issues in this option?
Thx

Do you have project in hand already?
What do you mean by you need to start the ' job' on Octt 25..Is that mean you need to join the client for project??
You can always say different at embassy because they dont know your start date

I believe that the sponsored employee (and the attorney) are not allowed to have any part in the recruitment effort as per DOL guidelines. It should be done by the employer.

Hi Guys,
Just some few questions. Me and my wife are in separate H1 visas. I got my 140 and 485 applied thro my compnay and my wife has gotten her EAD and AP. She is thinking of switching jobs now with her EAD. I understand that her H1 status expires if she does that.
Here is my predicament. I know it's far fetched. but wanted to throw it out to get some opinions.
say my wife quits her current job and takes up another position with her EAD and then 6 months down the road i dont get my 140 approved and i'm fired. Here are the list of questions i have
1) the EAD expires october so we have to file the ead around june to get it renewed, will it be valid for the time period it is specified even though i dont have my original job? (i'm planning to apply for my EAD now). i'm hoping i dont get fired by then..
2) Can we invoke AC21 in this situation? will it work?
3) is it too risky to change now or wait till the 140 approved?
4) can the compnay revoke the 140 after 180 days whether it is approved or not? i'm prety positive that they wont..but u never know...
if she dont change her job the whole premise of having the EAD is a joke. she still have to slug it out with her consultant. I know it's all just hypothetical but any suggestions/comments would be appreciated. please throw your thoughts in.
Thanks

Hi All,
I have efiled for my AP and EAD. I have received the RN for the same. I am planning to travel out of country by end of November. I am pretty sure AP will not be approved by that time. I am planning to travel on H1B visa. My attorney tells me that AP will not be approved if I travel before it is approved. I have to be in the country in order to get the AP approval. Is that true?
Thanks,
DesiXP
no, Its not true. AP can be approved while you're out of country.

you bet, here is the first draft.
illegal waiting at the border = 500 points handed in a platter when you cross the border. 100 additional points per day for 6 days after you cross 50 ft beyond the border.
illegal in the country = 500 basic points + 500 bonus points + 100 points on compassionate grounds
legal + skilled = zero, nada, zilch, legal have been awarded 1 point for every month in the country on compassionate grounds
points for GC 600
points for GC via fedex and no paperwork 601 points.
:p I say this in jest but, this is where we are heading :mad:
take your pick... call the senators and tell them of our problems...
Does anyone know how are they planning to calculate the points and how much points do you need to file GC/eligible for GC?

Dear All,
My husband has been wanting to file a petition under EB-1- EA category. At this point, his credentials are as follows:
1. MS from US university
2. 3 years Job experience in an American Company
3. 14 Paper publications in his masters
4. 2 Patents
And we are still unsure how many papers were cited. He has not written journal papers but may even write few journal papers.
No awards, No member of any jury.
Do you know what chance we may stand in filing under EB-1 and in meeting the 3 requirements in EB-1 Category.
At this point, he can add to his credentials only a few more journals and search for citations.
His company director may be willing to write a letter for him.
Please help us on how to proceed. I do worry a lot in this regard.
Thank you for everything

Temporary Protected Status and Expired Employment Authorization Documents
One must accept a Temporary Protected Status (TPS) beneficiary's expired Employment Authorization Document (EAD) if DHS has automatically extended its validity in a Federal Register notice. Automatically extended EADs are listed on the USCIS web site. EADs issued to TPS beneficiaries will include one of two category codes: �A-12� or �C-19.� You must not require an employee to provide proof that he or she is a national of a country that has been designated for TPS.
When creating a new case in E-Verify for newly hired TPS beneficiaries, select �Employment Authorization Document (Form I-766)� as the document presented and use the date to which the EAD was automatically extended as the expiration date. We recommend that you read the TPS information on the USCIS web site carefully, as the EAD automatic extension is usually shorter than the TPS extension date.
When re-verifying an existing TPS beneficiary�s employment authorization in Section 3 of Form I-9, write down the date to which the EAD was automatically extended as the expiration date. Never use E-Verify to re-verify an existing employee�s employment authorization.
Once the automatic extension of the EAD expires, re-verify the employee�s employment authorization again in Section 3 of either the original Form I-9 or a new Form I-9. The employee may choose to present a new, unexpired EAD, or any other document from List A or C of Form I-9 that shows he or she continues to be authorized to work in the United States. Federal contractors with the FAR E-Verify clause must follow special rules for verifying new and existing employees, including employees in TPS status. Federal Contractor needs to check the Supplemental Guide for Federal Contractors for more information.

but this serge in processing more Citizenship cases will indirectly slow down 485 approvals due to lack of staff and may result in wastage of visas again for FY 2008.
I think this memo is about NATURALIZATION - so yes it's about Citizenship, not for GCs or I-485s.
