We did send lot of requests (letters) to Senate/House reps to include recapture and legal kids into dream act. But of no use. I think its simply waste of doing such campaigns.
i am not an expert on how campaigns should be run on Capitol Hill but was meeting some highly successful senior lobbyists today (on a completely different topic) and got a chance to take a close look at how they influence legislative activity and direction.......the big lesson i learnt is that while it is important to present a macro picture to lawmakers (how legal immigration is beneficial to US economy etc etc) - what often makes the difference between an actual favorable vote and a mere sympathetic reaction is whether we can demonstrate the positive impact of the legislative vote on each lawmaker's specific reelection probability and popularity in their district:
1. showing benefit to their particular constituents (e.g your district has XX legal immigrants who constitute XX% of the tax base and if they got GCs - say, 10% would start companies in their communities and create say, 1000 new jobs within 2 years)
2. localized polling results (e.g. XX% of your voters support timely GCs to legal immigrants)

Hi,
Do you guys know how long does it take to get EAD/AP renewed? I understand you are eligible to apply for renewal 120 days before the end date.

For us it took approx 1 month -- paper field @ (TSC)

this should include total applications as derivative also has to file separate I-485. you multiply with 1.7 when you are estimating from approved I-140 to speculate number of people who are waiting online to apply for green cards. bottomline is its no where close to 500,000 to 750,000 as expected by oh-law and other websites
that was expected. 300K * 1.7(average family size according to USCIS) = Approx. 500K
that was expected. 300K * 1.7(average family size according to USCIS) = Approx. 500K

Now that the immigration reform for undocumented workers has broken down, is there any way that we can lobby congress to turn their attention to the plight of the skilled worker? The mess created by DOS will result in the worse backlog ever and the longest wait for post June filers. Congress can at least take steps to resolve this by raising the cap for the employment based visas and making it possible for unused visas in previous years to roll over. I also hope that USCIS will increase the human resource base with their higher fees to accomodate the flurry of applications flying in now. How do we get congress to pay attention? Please let discuss this and act.
we can hope for the best and keep on lobbying for our cause of EB retrogresstion. But to be honest i dont think there will be a law change to help us since CIR is dead.
The so called victory against USCIS was possible only because they made the july visa bulletin current due to miscommunication between uscis and dos. USCIS tried to stop the flood of I-485 but later on they reversed their decision and started accepting apps until agu17. SO WE ARE ABLE TO FILE BECAUSE OF THIS MISCOMMUNICATION NOT BECAUSE OF LOBBYING CONGRESS TO CHANGE RULE.
Assume no miscommunication between USCIS and DOS then no july fiasco and no flood of apps.
I think we have a looooooooooong road ahead to get our GC......

Hello Sir,
I'm in H1B visa, so also my husband.
In this time of recession, i fear if I'm laid off, wanted to seek your valuable guiance on the following:
- transfer my status from H1 to H4? have all pay stubs in tact.
- return back to H1 B status once I find an opening with new company? All I will need to do is transfer my H4 status back to my same H1B visa?
- visa in passport is originally stamped for Oct 2009 when I came from India, and I have my new I797 with validity date as Apr 2011. Do I still have I797 as valid even if I'm laid off?
Please let me have your views on this. Highly appreciate a speedy response.
Thank you in advance,
Shivani:confused:

Though he can sue you...there are more chances he won't do that ...it would be collateral.....
As per the agreement, you should be with your employer till your GC...ok fine...If you leave him after 180 days...suppose if he sues you....
1)You can always reciprocate in kind saying that he didn't pay you on Bench....Which will be a problematic for his company run...
2)You can also say that he don't have any development center here and he is jus forcing you to some requirement in which you are not comfortable with...
3)If he is some desi consultancy company...he would have definetly modified your resume before floating it in the market...If you take those things in the court..he will be in trouble...
Even if he wins...the maximum thing is you have to do is to work with him right...go back to him....perform bad in all the interview...take paid rest for 3 to 4 months...he himself will fire you....
rememeber DOL/USCIS always favours us and not employers....they are trying there best to reduce the desi consultacy company....single complaint will do to get the black mark...employers do know this...the reason they always play it safe...
he will threaten you...but he won't do anything...he knows its waste of money for him ....
Best of luck...

We applied on July 2nd during July 2007 VB fiasco.
I just received the following email from CRIS regarding my son's AOS I-485 application:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Request for Additional Evidence Sent
On June 12, 2009, we mailed a notice requesting additional evidence or information in this case I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS. Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the requested information. This case will be in suspense until we receive the evidence or the opportunity to submit it expires. Once we receive the requested evidence or information and make a decision on the case, you will be notified by mail. If you move while this case is pending, call 1-800-375-5283 to update your address.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am not sure what it is, still waiting for the mail to arrive in next few days.
I am wondering if this has something to do with my son turning 14 years yesterday (i.e. June 11th). Is there any kind of RFE sent for this type of situation?
Please advise.
Thank you for your help.
Did you get any updates regarding your RFE?
Once you got the RFE plz post it. It might be useful for the other people. Thanks.

People who filed I-485 after the July fiasco (starting with the August 2007 bulletin) paid a higher initial fee ($1010) - but they don't have to pay any EAD & AP fee - either the first time or for any renewals.
Look at the "Special instructions" sections of the following URL:
http://www.uscis.gov/i-485
so those that didn't pay the new fees when they filed 485 but paid the new fees for renewal of EAD and AP what happens to them? do they also get free renewals?

During the stage of 485 in how much details they look your your current status. In what all things they look except last 3-6 pay stubs and W2s.
I have following questions:
1. Dose any one has experience that they have asked for the details for the H1B LCA to verify the satus during the stage of 485(like your location specified in LCA). (-not talking about LC).
2. Another good question. If your LCA filed with the petition was for the some location of California. Now if you relocated to NY. Now you worked in NY for a year and now your W-2 will have the sate as the NY. IF you submit this W-2 at the 485 stage then they can easily figure out that your LCA was for some city of california and you are paying tax in the NY. Means in such cases they can easily find out that you are out of status. Don't they look into such details?
Asking this because I have not read a case like where they have traced back to the LCA level. Also many are doing the consultancy job means staying to one state for 1 year and another on second year. Eventhough not heard about any RFE on LCA to verify the current status.

Yes, but only if the new EB-2 positon's job duties are atleast 50% different from your current job duties.

I saw the following message when I logged into the USCIS case tracking system.
* Note on "Last Updated" date:
Your case may have a new "Last Updated" date and you may receive an Email Notification of your case being updated, without the status of the case changing. This is due to internal USCIS processing being performed on your Case. This will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date, but may not result in a different status message.

I understand that the chance is slim.... almost microscopic :rolleyes: But I need to prepare for the worst case (or is it the best...?? :confused:) hence the question.
Any idea about how long consular processing takes and does it depend on priority dates (in the case of a further retrogression)?
Thanks for the input, will keep a close watch on the visa bulletin and keep my wife's return trip options open.
Thanks again.

I believe your friend and his wife will be fine. They have 180 day+45 day grace period...it is taking NSC quite a while to generate RNs so she will probably get the GC after FY2008 quota is effective in Oct
But seperately I wish I had such good friends:-).

Is it really possible to move back to H1 with a new company from EAD, in case 1> you have approved 140
2> you have not used the entire of 3 year extension that you received b'cos of approved 140,and started using EAD.
I am not sure we can do this.
I ran this past my attorney before I moved to EAD and he believed it was possible. He was not sure if the H1 approval will come with attached I-94 or if I would need to leave the US and return to activate teh H1. However what is certain is that the H1 approval will come through, as I would meet all the requirements. On what basis can they deny the H1?
