It is easy to visualize a scenario where an activist Latino american citizen, probably acting under guidance by La Raza, purposefully fails to establish his identity and gets arrested. Imagine the media circus once the news outlets find out that an American citizen was detained due to this law.
I think it wont stand for long.

we saw the status updated this morning atlast. Hopefully will get the card soon in hand.
My wife's EAD renewal was e-filed with a receipt date of june 6 th, almost 120 days, still waiting. Got biometric notice for july 1st and finished it.After 94 days called 1-800 to request expediting the case on sep. 11 th, they sent a RFE asking for I-94 copies and stating biometrics were not transmitted to them and needed information on that, along with enlarged copy of photo ID.
Responded to RFE with a receipt date of sep. 25 th and no updates till day.
Called on 9/3 asnd raised a 2nd SR for expediting. AS her EAD expired on oct.1st and was given 1 week to produce new EAD by oct 10 th by her employer.
WE were hoping for some miracle by monday:confused:

yes..agreed. But you are forgeting all the new EAD's (H4's) who will be part of the mix.
You have to compete with H4s on EAD (I might be generalizing here so apologies to anyone offended) you've got more serious issues than you have foreseen.
EAD is not a ticket to a high-paying job requiring a certain level of skill.
I feel this thread is going the way of a Programmer's guild forum in that "Now that I'm in the door, stop the offshoring" :D

My wife's AP was approved today. The receipt date on the original filing was Jun1st.
Since, we had to visit Canada shortly for a conference, we took the invitation letter to the InfoPass appointment. The person at the counter asked us the fax the documents to the Nebraska office and we did that the very same day.
After a week, we received an approval email.
I also had contacted the CSC around 20 days before the infopass appointment, even though I chose the 45 day options while booking the appointment.
Hope this information helps others.

I can guarantee that u r screwed for next 3+ years if it was EB2 and next 6+ years if it was EB3.
Well, go ahead and cry in the bathroom now instead of actively supporting IV.
How can you be so mean specially at a time when he is under tremendous pressure. IV should try to comfort him and suggest him some alternatives. Contact your attorney ASAP and ask him to try to have a good write up and send the application again, who knows USCIS might accept your application (worst case ur app will come back again), but make it fast dont delay anymore.

Yes it is just like someone asking labor sub to be allowed again in admin fixes so that they can get a sustitute labor and cut in line.
I don't think it is the CP filers' fault. They are not cutting in line. It is the USCIS who is sitting on their ass on these 485s while the state dept processes the CP files at the normal pace. It should have been the state dept who should have processed the I-485 and CP (just like how they used to do the H/L visa revalidation inside U.S 4 years ago) and we would not have this issue or the visa bulletin fiasco.
It is a gamble to go with CP just like any other application in this GC mess. I know of guys who got their green card in 18 months while I spent 5.5 years in labor dept alone. But, that does not warrant chastising of the CP filers or anybody else for the Government's ineffiency (except in the case of labor sub).
But, I agree that the requests by the original poster should not be a part of IV's letter campaign.

You seem to have got your case approved and you have filed your wife's I485, correct me if I am wrong.
What do you say to people who have been waiting from 2002 and 2003 and 2004, as of today there is no difference for person who got labor approved in May 2007 and case with priority date May 2003. For lot of them it has been a frustrating and stressful period, mainly because their spouses have been idle.
How on earth can you come with this idea, see the traffic on this site now, when core IV team was fighting for the retrogression and other benefits for our cause, there were very few. The world is selfish buddy. I wish you good luck on this idea.

Most status related issues are wiped off after a travel outside US.
What I would worry about most is if any misrepresentation was made to USCIS as far as status goes. Years later or even during naturalization, one's could face audit and possible revocation of an approved application.
I have a similar question that has been bugging me for some time and hasn't gotten a clear answer. Here is the details and not sure if there would be any problem to I-485.
1. My wife came to US on H4 in Dec '03 which is valid up to sept' 06. Given I-94 reflecting same.
2. Traveled outside US on H4 twice and each time got new I-94 till Set' 06.
3. Applied for H1B and got approved for adjustment for status from Oct' 2005 with I-94 at the bottom of approval notice. H1B approval notice and I94 is valid till sept' 2008.
4. Employer (consulting firm) insisted on getting SS number before searching for projects so applied for SS# and waited.
5. After delays received SS card in March' 06.
6. Found a project soon, but the start date was from June ' 06 and 'officially' joined the company from June' 06.
7. Employer asked for a signed letter from my wife that due to health reasons, she is joining two months late - not sure if it is purely for their safety or ours?.
8. Continuous paychecks since jun '06
9. Haven't traveled abroad after getting H1B approved.
9. Applied for I485 together in June' 07 with me being direct beneficiary and wife being derivative. Submitted all documents i., passports, I-94, approval notices, w-2, tax returns, employment letter etc for both.
So the question is not getting paychecks or not joining the company immediately can cause any problem to her I485? I read some where that It is not a problem for H1B AOS as person is not required to join the employer immediately after getting approved for H4 to H1B AOS and it is a problem only if entered the country on H1B and not receiving paychecks in between.. Is this true??
Also, it says on USCIS website that employee-employer relation is critical for H1B and employee can be on vacation, sick, out of pay etc. Not exactly sure what it means by relation.

The key is that....there should not be substantial difference in the job duties and the responsibilities.
I know after we file the i-485 for 180 days, we can change our jobs. But rule is that the new job should be in the same field as the old one.
Can i change my job from a biological researcher to a biostatistician? My current job is in the field of biology, which involves lots of experiments. If I change my job to a biostatistician, which is like a programmer, do i still qualify the "similar filed" rule? thanks for your help!

Helo Im messaging from India,
I found this site useful so I joined in here, but since they did not have India in the listing I added Calfornia. I have a F2B immigration visa pending filed by my parents in the US. I had interview in Chennai, India on Sep 2007. I fell short of some docs and submitted those on 28 Dec 2007 and was given 221g and told my case will be held up due to administrative processing.
I wanted to know if this new name check ruling helps me in any way. Also how long more should I expect to wait for the visa.
Thanx

Taking up the DREAM Act issue will strengthen the IV cause...by showing how legals are getting short-changed from every angle on the entire immigration issue.
It requires a very small change in the DREAM Act as contained in CIR. Just remove the clause that says it will apply to Z visa holders. In any case, Z visa no longer exists since CIR failed. But I am afraid the will replace it by some condition requiring undocumented presence. Remaining conditions apply to legals as well:
(from the failed CIR)
� Have maintained continuous physical presence in the U.S. since 1/1/07
� Was under 30 years of age on date of enactment
� Was under age 16 at time of initial entry into U.S.
� Have obtained U.S. high school diploma or GED
� Have not been absent from the U.S. for more than 365 total days during period of conditional residence (except those absent due to U.S. military service)
� Have acquired a degree from a U.S. higher ed institution; or completed 2 years in Bachelor�s degree program or higher at such an institution; or have served at least 2 years in the U.S. military
� Has provided a list of all of the secondary educational institutions he or she has attended in the U.S
If the push is for amendment to include legal kids , I would be more than happy to support any effort. I can only offer tepid support if it is exclusively for kids of undocumented people. Both kind of kids are here because of their parents' actions.
Agree with you on the point that any request for amendments to include documented kids should increase the visibility for IV ..

If you had two different A#s (140 and 485) you will see an LUD on 140 when they reconcile the two.
