You can do hero worship of your lawyer whoever it is. I will not.
Ask him/her if he will do advocacy effort for you or sue USCIS since all his clients are struggling in the long wait and spending a lot of money on immigration consultations, fees etc.
Ask him if he contribute to IV instead?
Ask him to give you priority instead of your employer who gives him business every year.
Ask him why AILA is not giving you regular updates through him. As clients of lawyers we should get regular updates and prompt responses. What are they doing about country caps removal, end of retrogression, recapture etc. I mean they are so powerful, so why can't they do it for us so that we no longer need lawyers and save a lot of money? Arn't we all spending thousands of $s on immigration attorneys ? and only few of us pay only $25 and many are free members and get such a good service from IV website. We all hate to pay a single dollar to IV and accuse IV core of asking contributions every time there is a drive but IV still helps us. They need to learn from us.
Why none of us has the courage to do it, but we have the courage to trash talk IV and blame its core for not working hard enough for our $25.
Whats your skillset, I can try to get you a project. No offense, but you do seem to have too much time to loose-comment on others and contribute nothing.

I know Immigration voice is not for profit organization and it is doing a great job.
My intention is not to belittle IV, my intention is just to express my opinion as a user, most of the problem will be solved if the links are not shown to non members if they are not allowed to see the content.
I just saw your post in YouTube, it is very informative.
All the time that IV volunteers put in and the lobbying efforts don't come free. There is a cost associated with it. As tonyHK12, I'd rather trust IV and risk $25 a month than leave everything up to chance and hope. Just my 2 cents.

Anyone can throw light into this one. Can we track APs now for NSC.
NSC is receipting late and also their AP documents are mailed very late. Please let us know when we receive our AP document after getting the receipts? for eg. 10 days, 20 days etc..
It will help lot of us who want to make some travel plans.. [some like us are eagerly waiting for past 4 yrs!!!]
Thanks to IV and all the members
I don't think anyone will be able to predict when someone will get AP approved. USCIS has mentioned that they are concentrating on EAD more than anything else (read AP). Also, unlike TSC, NSC only issued receipts so I suppose they are issuing EAD's now. AP seems far away. Even TSC is behind in processing AP.

There is a thin like between spam and high publicity. Chandu never crossed this.
Those who are yet to send the letters, please send it. Those who already sent them, please ask your friends. Those who feel more strong about GC and believe that IV can work for our benefit, print 10 copies at least and get the signatures from your friends directly.
All in all, let use +ve energy that will make this campaign successful, rather than questioning other motivated members' intentions.

You definitely need to send it even if you get BIOMETERICS
Hello WAIT_FOR_EVER_GC , Please do not confuse or post anything that you have no idea about.
Its is not true. You don't need to send photos for EAD and the instruction clearley says that. For AP you need to send photos even thnough you went for biometric appointment.
If you apply both EAD and AP together then you will still need to go to fingerprint and also send photos for AP.

Since you work only 2 weeks, the RFE must be because your earnings don't add up as for 40 hours a week!
Unless you get a new H1-B you cannot work for another employer, unless you use EAD and lose your H1-B status.

Hi Gurus,
Here is my case:
Employer A:
I am working with employer A,
Approved I140, EB3, PD Dec 2004, I485 filed on Jun 30, 2007, Got EAD and AP
Employer B:
Future employer,
Approved I140, EB2, PD Aug 2004
Note: A# is same on both approved I140 and pending I485.
My question is, do I need to request for interchange of I140 from EB3 to EB2 or it will be automatically done since A# is same on both approved I140. I really appreciate your response. Thanks

Hello,
My application also returned for the same reason (no I485 receipt notice attached) from Phoenix. Not sure what to do at this time. I never received I485 receipt notices. Hence, I have attached biometric notices in place I485 receipt notices. I have added a cover letter requesting to expedite the process. I am not sure if this request caused some mental disturbance on the person who is supposed to work on my application and may have sent me rejected notice.
I got my wife's and sons entire packet back with the exact remarks, "Incorrect Check amount and no I 485 attached". I had both correct amount of 340.00 and Copy of I 140 attached..I e-filed on June 15th again and waiting to see this time what excuses they come out with now..I did get the receipt notices for both of them yesterday.. What a joke??

I am not sure when the CIR will pass...its not on Nancy Pelosi aganda in forseeable future... and several people already mentioned that if it didnt pass by MAY07 then you are looking at Jan 09 to get immigration stuff to happen...
I think we need to work on an interm EB relief bill ...which is absolutely non contraversial and try to pass it....not worring about piggy backing the CIR...
Issues such as h1 increase or adding more numbers need not be in it...we can include things like EAD after I-140...spouse/childer not considered for EB quota...etc...
Unless we act desissively now...its going to be a long way to 2009..
One of ways in which you can make the lawmakers realize the seriousness of the issue of EB relief is by telling them about it in person. They meet tons of other people every day and hear about many issues that are just as important to the others who meet them. So to convince them of the urgency, IMHO, we all must go to their offices and talk to them. That requires you to take some time off from your schedule. Many of us have already met lawmakers. Join your local chapter.

You will need to do some research regarding the legitimacy of this university. I did a quick look up and it looks the University (of Melbourne) is legit. But the logo of University as in their website and that in the degree copy which you presented are different.
The other thing that concerns me is, most legit University do not use sample copy of degree as a marketing tool.
I know how to verify the legitimacy of an US University or Indian University but not for Australia.
Having said that, if you get a 3 year post graduate degree (not diploma) from a legit non-US university (in Comp Science or something related to your job) combined with your 3 year degree should qualify for EB 2.
USCIS will accept the degree as long as the University is legally accredited in its home country
If you have completed one year in this University, you can try to use 3 year degree + 1 year post degree work (in this university) as a 4 year degree equivalent for getting admitted to a Masters in a US University. Normally , many major US university count 3 year degree + 1 year PG course for Masters entrance requirement. Once you have a US Masters , that is the safest option.

Dear IVans,
Now that the SEP VB is out, what does this indicate in terms of
- future VBs
- visa availability in the coming months
- awareness about visa wastage
- dates becoming current for most EB categories
- light at the end of tunnel for most of us
- USCIS efficiencies
Pls share your thoughts. Thanks!
We will know for sure after Sep 30. If they don't waste any visas then it is a good sign.
But if they do waste visas, inspite of all the leeway, requests, advise, whatever they have been given, then God help us.

They should also allow people from Backlog Centre (PD 2001-MARCH 2005) to file 485. Looks like they really cant make any impact. How many more years to wait just to file 485 ? Oh Gosh....
Come August, all dates will be current again and you should be able to adjust.

He will be out of status. Your 3 year extension beyond the allowed 6 years is based on that LC/I-140 from which your I-485 was filed. If the I-485 is rejected you have no right to stay beyond 6 years.
It is best to not use more than 3 years of H-1 if you have a pending I-485. That way you have 3 more years of H-1 in case you get rejected. The pending I-485 gives you unlimited time in the form of EAD/AP. Dont waste your H-1 time.
It only makes sense to keep H-1 while you have AOS if your country of chargeability is ROW, which is usually current. If your country is backlogged, it will most likely extend your H-1 over six years. Please consult a proper immigration attorney before you do anything.
That's not true, as per my attorney. When you are on the 7th yr of your H1 the only reason for the you get the 3 year extention on the H1 based on your approved I140 after filing your 485, is so that you won't be out of status even if your 485 gets rejected. You can still stay is status in US and appeal your 485.
