I am getting mentally prepared for much much longer wait.
Thanks
meaning you are also planning to marry a US citizen....nothing wrong
This trend will accelerate more in years to come.
When i first came in 1999 marrying us citizen was sort of heard of by IT folks.
by 2003 i was coming across so many cases of marrying us citizen.
among non indians its very common resulting in their PD being more recent.
In fact my friends who went for marrying citizen ...are way better placed in life.
It become so hard to marry from india now with contract jobs lasting short time and salary being so low after cut form h1b vendors. eventually teh pain will reach the point of yield.

At what stage of GC, you are not dependent on Lawyer any more>?
What if your I-485 has been filed, and everything is normal with your case. Do you still need your Lawyer till you get ur GC or now you can fire him right after filing 485?
I am not happy with my Lawyer and want to get rid of him ASAP.

Yes, this is not falling in place with their processing dates. But i think, you should be getting your approval any time. May be, have your attorney contact Vermont center for inquiry. Or you can call the customer service directly.
I filed for H-1 extension on Aug 23rd. Still not approved. Dont know why they have dates at Oct.......

You are absolutely right abt the excerpt.
You need to send the EAD according to where you live (with pending 485 and Q16 answered with C9)
Bidhan
Dhundhun,
I hold high regard for your postings...but in the 765 manual, I could not find any such rule that you just mentioned..Here is an excerpt from Pg 9 of
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765instr.pdf
If your response to Question 16 is (c)(9) ....
Otherwise, if you filed your I-485 adjustment application with
a USCIS Service Center, you must file Form I-765 at the
Nebraska Service Center or the Texas Service Center,
depending on where you live (see the following addresses)......
Are you sure ?? :confused:
I have recently moved from Ohio to Pennsylvania and am about to file for renewal. Thanks....

Copsmart/Frostrated/anilkumar0902/Uma001/desitechie/Optimist/Other Guru's,
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can provide
Here is the current status:
- Consulted my lawyer and went thru all docs they submitted as part of my I140 package. On my last employer experience, found out that I had submitted only one affidavit from a co-worker and that would cover for less than 60 months of experience at my last my place.
- Came up with a list of some 30+ documents that include paystubs from US/India, W2/Form16's, letters submitted to CIS by previous company for new H1b back in 2003 and then for an extn in 2006, appreciation letters and other material on previous company letterhead. Discussed this with my lawyer
- Lawyer is of the opinion that we can prove our case of alternate evidence based on documents i am producing.
- Plan is to submit an affidavit from me that i was unable to get an exp. letter from my previous employer mentioning reasons on why its not possible, submit 2 affidavits from ex co-workers covering span of 63 months.
Based on your scenario or known people, can one of you respond to how should i approach following issues:
1) I am going to draft content for experience letter non-availability. I have mail trail from last 1 year following up on asking for details of $12K. Same mail mentions that am asking for experience letter and provident fund amount back from HR. Will it be a good idea to attach deputation letter mentioning 5 lac indian rupee to be paid for breach of terms and a 100 rupee bond paper contents which i signed before US deputation. Will it be Ok to mention that previous employer is asking for $12K settlement amount to provide experience letter and attach copies of bond and deputation note OR only mention that am unable to get experience letter and i have been following up with HR for last 1 year and attach email trail as evidence. Any pros and cons from CIS perspective on which approach to choose.
2) Any other documentation that needs to be submitted ? Supporting evidence alongwith company lawyer detailed letter, 2 affidavits from co-workers for skills and duration, self affidavit for experience letter not available will be -
> Paystubs from US/India, not for all 63 months but for some months in 2004/6/7/8.
> W2's for 2005/6/8.
> Form 16 for 2005-6/2007-8
> Offer letter, yearly appraisal letters, US deputation letters, appreciation letters, ID Cards, 3 Business cards showing change in designations.
I would highly value the following since you already have them; Offer letter (hopefully having some of your duties and benefits indicated), yearly appraisal letters (for all 5 years if possible), copy of the Indian income tax forms, appreciation letters + affidavit from couple of your colleagues.
The idea is to have atleast a few solid evidences and then add in the rest but dont clutter the whole thing in a way that they miss the most important ones.
List the evidence on a seperate paper in the order of importance and then arrange the actual evidence or notarized copies in that order.
It will work out so dont worry.

Last time around exactly the same time in 2006 CIR took off like crazy because of the tremendous backing of Senate Judiciary committee chairman Arlen Specter and Senate majority Leader Bill Frist (who actually gave a deadline for a the bill to be introduced to the senate floor, to speed it up) and president bush supporting it as well. In spite of all these it took the senate from Feb-march 2006 to around September 2006 to get it passed.
Now to the present situation, Harry Reid, the current majority leader never ever publicly spoke one good word about CIR, the present senate judiciary committee chairman, Patrick J. Leahy has not displayed even 1/100 the urgency nor the interest in CIR, president Bush though still supporting CIR is a wounded president licking his wounds and has truly become a lame duck president (most unfortunately for us).
Having considered the above facts what are the chances of CIR happening? Its very painful to say that but I think very low. Even by a miracle (a very big miracle at that) if something happens it will be November or December 2007 before it passes.
As if this not painful enough there is a 60 day waiting period from the day the president signs it before it becomes a law. I think there is some confusion on this 60 day period (I am not 100% sure on this). In addition to it if I remember correctly there was a strange condition which was something like there would be a 6 month investigation period to determine the effects of CIR before becoming a law. If you add all this nonsense up I think in the best case scenario January or February 2008 before CIR becomes law and worst case scenario July or August 2008 to become a law. just my 2 cents. I can only pray and hope I am wrong.
There are some inaccuracies in your post:
The CIR in the Senate passed on 25th May 2006. Bill number S. 2611 of 109th congress. (See for this on thomas.loc.gov )
The 60 day waiting period is something that may be removed this year as this year, the Dems are in control.
I can go on and on about why CIR did not become a law in 2006. However if one were allowed just one phrase to describe the reason why CIR didnt happen in 2006, is : United States House of Representatives (http://www.house.gov/).
If you remember, in Nov 2005, the house had already pass its own CIR. They called it CIR, but no one else called it that. Its was H.R. 4437. Created by dear Chairman Jim Sensenbrenner. The bill provided for making illegal presence a felony and basically deporting 11 million already here. That was the House's CIR.
What happens this year, even God cannot predict. What we've said here at IV, is CIR will come in SENATE, in March-April. It will be debated and passed in Senate, most likely, just like last year. After that, as far as the House is concerned, it remains to be seen how much pressure the White House and Senate can put on them. Basically, if the White House were to direct a few more raids by ICE on some meat packing plants and some construction, that's all it takes for the House to be shamed into doing something about a widespread problem unless it wants to be called a do-nothing congress.
Now we cannot predict if the above course of events will take place. Its impossible to predict. Some people (on other sites) have laid out percentages like 20% chance this will happen, 80% chance that will happen. That's really laughable.

Are the processing times according to the notice date or the received date ? Mine are 4 months apart.
It is based on Received date but some are saying that CIS is not really following that but in "THEORY", its the RCVD Date.

I wouldn't care to much if they steamline the process and make all EB categories "Current". If you submit the right documentation these days i-140 does not take more than an month.
But if the retrogression is like this then as well a retrogressed person does not care as in any case he cannot file together. The only people who are affected is the people who are eligible to apply for both with the PD as current. But how many people are there now in that frame of benefit.
So I really feel it should not bother us too much especially people from India. If I am wrong correct me.

I applied for my EAD renewal during last week of Nov 2010, it took only 42 days to receive my renewed card. It got 2 years validity, validity starts from the next day of current EAD expiration date. Even though current card is valid for another 2 months, pleasantly surprised to receive the new card in USPS priority mail. Overall, job well done by USCIS as for as this EAD renewal in concerned.
My priority date is Jan 2007, not sure whether by extending it for 2 years USCIS is not expecting me to be current in the near future. Personally I am expecting to be current during this July - Sep time frame. Worst case at least it should be a touch and go scenario, fingers crossed.

Besides not signing this so called contract
If you are H1 - as long as you are an employee - the employer has to pay the salary as per H1 papers, whatever be the business issues. If that be the case they can be reported as a violator.
Non solicitation clause should state a time frame - but otherwise most contracts have them
And as long as this is a new or potential employer - its a nice red flag to stay out

I have read about some cases where ppl who had one of the PDs current, tried very aggresively and got their 485 approved. I have not seen many cases though. Everytime I research on interfiling, I always find those couple of cases so in my opinin, interfiling is not very common. Its a unknown territory as its not a paid service from USCIS.

I applied my first H1B extension through my company in June 2008. On 11th Feb, I received REF. I am very much tense about it. Since I am out of project. I got cleared my I 140 with this company in July 2008.
I applied H1B transfer(Normal process) also in October 2008 to other company . This one is still pending.
I am very much tense about my status. Please suggest me what to do?
Is it better to answer to RFE for first company?
or
Can I do PP with second company? or else any better thing?
Thanks

And I wish all other members who have not contributed .. contribute soon, as that is the most visible request from IV to members today. And I believe these contributions will go towards acchiving our dreams.

I'm not doing any favor to any body and I'm just protecting my life and my friends life. Why would any H1 guy take that risk even if his Green card application is pending and even when he is discriminated purposefully based on his country of origin in POE also in USCIS? These two issues are interconnected to each other such as buying a house for living long term in US and his application is pending due to failed immigration policies even though his employer is interested to have his services at higher priority. When few rude CBP officers don't let him to enter in to US even if he has valid VISA to work in US and even if his company needs his valuable services to the slowly rising US economy, what's the point in buying a home even though selling can be done through some Power of attorney at loss in future from home country (it becomes biggest blunder of my life if I do that) ?? You would realize when it becomes your turn at the POE. 1% will become 10% in no time if you don't react.
It sounds like your argument is like my granny's old saying 'Cat(who is considered as thief in that neighborhood) jumps in to somebody's kitchen, drinks milk by closing her eyes and she feels that nobody is watching her'. I can't make that risk by buying a house in this limbo situation though I have an interest to live in US to realize my American dream since my childhood.
Yes Sir, very true: "People do not buy house to sell it". I am not suggesting that you buy a house and sell it, I am suggesting that in case you plan on buying the house .. don't get intimidated by the bad immigration experience of few folks. My point is that in worst case scenario, if you have to go back to India (which is less than 1% chance), there are ways to deal with house situation.

Will unused RoW EB-1 be given to the most retrogressed category (EB-2 India)? Or will they go to EB-2 RoW? What does the law state? Will per-country quotas apply when unused visas are used?

I already fought this for three good years! I don't know how they allow L1 to enjoy in-state tuituion and not H1B. I provided liks to USCIS to ASU to prove that L1 and H1 are similar non-immigrant visa. I gave up after they could not provide any reasonable response.
Did you threaten them with a lawsuit. You would be surprised at what a threat like that can do.
