you told that fees are reasonable, can you tell me you get answers all your questions promptly?
or do lawyers asks extra money for every related question? (this is reported on other thread by some members). say for example, if I want to ask about not only AC21 but also about travelling on AP etc.?

Gurus,
I�m bachelor. I�m planning to get married in another 6 months. Should I apply for I-485? If I should, can I add my spouse later to the I-485 application before I-485 is approved and priority date is not current. :confused:
Here is one of my friend in the similar situation planning to do. He is filing 485 without any medical exam. Certainly, he is going to get query and after query you have 40 days (double check this number) to reply. So, he'll get some time to go and do wife hunting.

I know a person who applied TIN number for their parents as they stayed in US for more than 180 days(that is technically possible as some months have 31 days, so if you correctly plan your paretns trip, people on visitor visa will be allowed to stay for 6 month or 183 days) . Also ff you talk to your immigration officer at the port of entry and convince him that an extra three days would be helpful for parents, he might give you 183 days visa.
You need to prove the substantial presence of parents in US.They have a formula to calculate that (total number of days present in current year + 1/2 of number of days in previous year + 1/3 of the a year before previous year) and it that total is greater than 180 days + some other technicalities(which are easy to prove), you can file for TIN number and file taxes showing them as dependents.

sometime's if they need to do some background-investigation to get more info on your visa status / educational background / name check or what-ever for no-reason etc , they just place you in this status. the tricky thing is do never know how long the wait is. ive heard / read some people have to wait in months for no reason. you should be happy that you received it in 2 weeks.

If your I-94 expires you will be out of status ... it would be best if you take your new passport and travel outside immediatly before its expiration so that you can get a new I-94. The earlier IO probably didn't give you an I-94 till 2010 because your passport was expiring within 6 months.
I think you need to act on it urgently.
I have the same issue. My wife I-94 was issued based on her passport expiry date and not on her I-797 expiry date. I called up my attorney and she told that the best way to deal with this issue is to travel out of the country. If anybody had renewed it without making a travel, please post here.

You get the FP notices, attorney gets a copy.
Best way to find out (if you missed it) is to call USCIS Customer Service number on your I-485 notice.
Don't think it's delivered personally - it may not get delivered if you filed a change of address with the post office, but it should be in your mail if you haven't moved/no address change, imo.
jazz
Who gets FP notice? is it attorney or us?
We also filed on July 2nd at NSC.. got EAD and AP. buit no sign of FP yet. we were also out of country for last 3- 4 weeks. Is there chance we could have missed it?

I saw a comment on a lawyer's website that recapture of unused visas can only be done through legislation and not through administrative fix..
And, the real issue we should try to address here is USCIS inefficiency.
There are a lot of " worldwide" category folks who have been current for over a year (and a few months after the 180 day memo) but are yet to get their GC.... So unless we get USCIS to move fast on the applications that are current, all our visa recapture efforts help DOS to move cut off dates further ahead.. but if past history is any indication, more of these visa #s will be assigned to Consular processing cases rather than AOS cases in USA..
So.. I think while lobbying for Visa Recapture is the right move, we should also lobby to highlight USCIS inefficiency in adjudicating cases that are current..

now atleast we are used to calling lawmakers. Why don't you meet the lawmakers, contact DOL etc.. make sure you have another job in hand and you can do the transfer paper work. As far as my knoweledge one can have 2 H1B at a time but can only work for one.
Call the lawmaker and ask him you have a question and is it a law of this land. Ask as a doubt not a complain

Hi All,
I would really appreciate everyone's honest opinions on this matter.
We filed 140 and 485 concurrently in July 2007, EB3. As of now there is no word on either application. Previously we had also obtained Canadian PR, the 3 year grace period of which will expire this August.
Not only am I faced with a decision of staying in the US or going to Canada, but my future career is on the line too. This year I will be 23. After taking my undergrad degree in electrical engineering, I have been accepted into Boston University Law School in the US as well as the University of British Columbia Faculty of Law in Canada. Canadian lawyers make around half as much as American ones after all factors are considered.
In your opinion, should I stay in the US, going to law school, in hopes that the green card will come through, or should I pursue a new life in Canada, but take the lower future salary / international renown?
This issue is currently causing much discord in my family. I hope to hear your frank opinion so that I won't take my decision lightly.
Many Thanks! :)

I believe the USCIS counts only applications they have recieved. In other words even if there is a 140 approved but the person is not able to file a 485 then his application would not count. I think they log in the applications when they send out the reciept notices and then log them out when approved. As such I think even pending EAD and AP applications would be counted as cases.
However some clarification would be definitely nice.
I want to point out however that there are many cases of 140 approvals who for whatever reason are not active or transferring to another petition.
The BECs have completed a little over half of the cases to date. They are moving quite fast in the last few weeks. Recently a colleagues application filed in May 2004 got approved, within 3 weeks mine filed on the same day with the same lawyer was also approved (atleast online status check). As such I feel that atleast those that filed with RIRs will be done by the end of the year and those with traditional labours will be done by next year. Now that last point is what gives me the chills. Those are the really old PDs and until we get a feel for how many of them are still active and how many are legit and how many of those are used for Labour Subs etc, we will not get a handle on the size of this problem.
At the very least we can double the number of pending petitions at 485 stage. Also atleast about 30-40k of those with background checks pending are probably EB based. So It would be a guesstimate but there may be about 300K or so back log of visa numbers needed. However of those a disproportionate number would be EB India. I would conservatively say a third. All guessowrk of course.

i sent something like you have desribed in option 1 for my evl rfe. my lawyer drafter it and the only legalese reference was : [please continue his process] "as per section" yada yada yada "of the American Competitivenes in the 21st century Act".
Hi,
My attorney received an EVL RFE for my I-485 case. My PD is 2007 EB3 so I don't have any hope of getting GC but I guess they are just pre-adjucating my case.
Here is my situation - I filed my !-485 in Aug 2007 and changed job (without filing any AC-21 paperwork with USCIS) in April 2008. My attorney had looked at new job description and given green signal for change. My entire immigration history of 10 years in US is totally clean with no gaps and with all work autorizations.
Now, my concern is that the letter that my attorney has prepared for my current employer to sign has lot of legal lingo (AC-21 language, lot of CFRs, info related to my LCA and I-140) and has some language to the effect of supporting my LCA and I-140 till my GC is approved. It also states that my current employer was able to afford to pay my salary since the LCA date. My employer is fortune 5 company so money wise there is no problem but my concern is that they may not want to sign such a lengthy (wordy) legal doc without consulting their Immi attorney. I don't have much time to respond (only 8 more days). So if my employer takes long time or tells me that they can not sign it, I want to be ready with Plan B. Can someone suggest what should I do?
1 - should I prepare a simple document with job duties, responsibilities, start date, salary etc that my employer will be willing to sign. So at last moment I can atleast get that signed. Something will be better than nothing.
2 - Should I / (bigger question is can I) ask USCIS to give me more time to respond to RFE?
3. Provide simple letter from employer with an affedavit or something stating that the new job is same / similar as the old job.
Sorry for a long post and thanks for any suggestions.
