    This idea was floated a few years back, but then we did not have the win of a flower campaign behind us.

    We now have a senator to focus our energies on - Dick Durbin.

    How about everybody with a US degree send a copy of the diploma in a packet to Sen Durbin with a message - Dont hold us hostage because of a few bad apples..something to that nature?

    Alternatively we can send it to Sen Obama asking him to please let the senior senator from illinois, sen Durbin, know we are high skilled immigrants - dont hold us hostage because of a few bad apples.

    maybe we can send an apple too :D

    sending to sen obama will make sure the issue is played in media because of the presidential coverage.


    Liked the idea of sending copy of diploma ... but whats the message ???

    My lawyer filed the I-485, EAD and AP package for me and my wife. She put a G-28 notice for each application (with our and her signatures). She missed signing the AP G-28 for my wife. I asked her about this. She said it should be fine. They would not consider her notice of representation for this particular case, and would mail the AP approval directly at our home address.
    I hope we are fine and our application doesn't get rejected since we had one check for all the applications.
    Please reply. Thanks a lot.

    By volunteering she is taking away a job of a US worker so the answer is no.

    If you are on EB3 then you ARE retrogressed. The entire world (which includes Brazil) is retrogressed on EB3. Now, if you meant to write "EB2" then that's another story...

    I am in same boat, I took a Infopass today and met with a IO in NYC. She said she will do the needful as the dates are current by communicating with TSC and if nothing happens I have to come back in 45 days. I do not have hopes but lets see what happens

    Hello IVans,
    My employer did not pay for I485 expenses (USCIS fees, Lawyer expenses and Medical exam expenses). I paid all these expenses out of my pocket. Today one of my friends told me that these expenses could qualify as tax-deductible expenses. I have my doubts, but want to get you thoughts.

    Thanks.
    To deduct these expenses you need to itemize your deductions and for the year 2008 the new standard deduction is $10,900 for married couples filing a joint return , $5,450 for singles and married individuals filing separately and $8,000 for heads of household. link (http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=174876,00.html)
    The most important question you have to ask yourself is "Is your itemized deductions more than the $10,900"? If yes then go ahead and itemize it, otherwise you're well off using standardized.

    I believe the only reason EB visa numbers have gone unused in recent years is due to the the inability of FBI in completing namecheck/background check in a timely FIFO fashion. As a result USCIS is unable to approve pending I485s even when the visa numbers are available. This also keeps the VISA BULLETIN doors closed for new I485s.

    This (besides labor backlog) spoils the FIFO for GCs.

    Fixing FBI security check process will end such visa bulletin fiasco. I believe in recent year or two USCIS has processed various applications (including I485) in a very timely fashion (ofcourse there are exceptions). But many I485s get stuck in the security check bottleneck. Since, visa number is assigned at the approval time the whole FIFO goes to hell.

    DOS should be issuing VISA BULLETIN based on pending approvable I485 (meaning security check complete) and fiscal year visa availability. If former is smaller than latter then bulletin dates should move forward based on approved I140s which have not applied for AOS. This is not rocket science but simple math which is lost on DOS, USCIS & FBI.

    However, fixing FBI security checks (timely completion) will restore FIFO once labor backlog is gone.

    FBI delays is the prime reason for this fiasco.

    BTW my AOS is pending due to indefinite background check delay.

    It is partly true. You get stuck in name check , somebody get stuck at I-140, All in all this whole system is purposefully created to keep doors locked "legallly". The first and foremost question should be how the hell government has decided 140000 visas not 40000 and not 240000 but only 140000 and why the hell discrimination against people from only 4 countries?

    Infact employment based immigration is for sufficing the need of the market then let market decides what immigration numbers should be set as ceiling... If US economy need 7 milion in year 2007, ceiling should be 7 million and next year US market may need only 7000 then for that year ceiling should be 7000. I believe if they may freshen up the whole EB GC mess with starting restructuring based on this concept then only in future we can expect flawless legal immigration...

    Thanks, honge_kamyaab.
    Your point is well taken.
    But, my doubt is on the premise that a new H1-B can be obtained based on a previous approved I-140 or Labor Cert. However, if I am changing industries, my job function and description are both changing. In that case, can I use the fact that I had an I-140 from a previous employer in a different industry for a new H1?
    Appreciate your help.
    Regards.

    If I were you, I would send a letter with the facts. I do not see a downside to this. On the upside, if the employer decides to settle you could potentially get some of your money back.

    Hi RC, that's just a nickname.
    My PD is April 2002. At Nebraska Service Center, I was able to file the I-485 on Feb 2005 and from there we've got our EAD.

    Yes, I know what you are saying about the one income, three people. There are many things to consider. We prefer that my wife invests more time parenting my child, therefore she is working only part-time. Part-time jobs typically are low income. It is hard to put your 1-3 year old child in a daycare full-time, you know. It is not the same than when you take care of your child, at least in my opinion.

    If you ever come to Seattle, just send me a private message and we can organize something here.


    Hi Marlon,

    BTW, did you change your username??
    We are in New York but if we ever come to Seattle we would love to meet you guys. How did you manage to get EAD for your wife? Is it possible on H4 before I-485 is filed and pending?
    We would love to have a baby next year and hope that my hubby will be able to work by then...otherwise it is one income and three of us :(

    Hmm interesting - I can smell CIR coffee brewing.

    EB folks - brace for a bumpy ride

    Secretaries are from the Executive Branch and are responsible for the execution of the laws and are not directly responsible for the creation of the laws. So we could expect Memos that are more favorable to us but I wouldn't hold my breath over CIR yet.

    VIA USCIS.gov


    Introduction

    U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced a final rule adjusting fees for immigration applications and petitions. Thefinal rule (http://www.ofr.gov/OFRUpload/OFRData/2010-23725_PI.pdf)follows a period of public comment on a proposed version of the rule, which USCIS published in theFederal Register (http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-13991.pdf)on June 11, 2010. After encouraging stakeholders to share their input, USCIS considered all 225 comments received. The final rule will increase overall fees by a weighted average of about 10 percent but will not increase the fee for the naturalization application. The rule will also reduce fees for six individual applications and petitions and will expand the availability of fee waivers to new categories. The final rule will be published in the Federal Register September 24, and the adjusted fees will go into effect on November 23, 2010.

    USCIS is a primarily fee-based organization with about 90 percent of its budget coming from fees paid by applicants and petitioners for immigration benefits. The law requires USCIS to conduct fee reviews every two years to determine whether it is recovering its costs to administer the nation�s immigration laws, process applications, and provide the infrastructure needed to support those activities. Remaining funds come from appropriations provided annually by Congress. The final fee rule concludes a comprehensive fee review begun in 2009.

    USCIS�s Fee-based Budget

    Fees account for approximately $2.4 billion of USCIS�s $2.8 billion budget request for fiscal year (FY) 2011. More than two-thirds of the budget supports the adjudication of applications and petitions for immigration benefits at USCIS field offices, service centers, customer service call centers and records facilities. The remainder supports USCIS business transformation efforts and the funding of headquarters program offices.

    The adjudication areas supported by fees include the following:


    Family-based petitions - facilitating the process for close relatives to immigrate, gain permanent residency, travel and work;
    Employment-based petitions - facilitating the process for current and prospective employees to immigrate to or stay in the U.S. temporarily;
    Asylum and refugee processing - adjudicating asylum and processing refugees;
    Naturalization - adjudicating eligibility for U.S. citizenship;
    Special status programs - adjudicating eligibility for U.S. immigration status as a form of humanitarian aid to foreign nationals; and
    Document issuance and renewal - verifying eligibility for, producing and issuing immigration documents.
    USCIS�s fee revenue in fiscal years 2008 and 2009 was much lower than projected, and fee revenue in fiscal year 2010 remains low. While USCIS did receive appropriations from Congress and made budget cuts of approximately $160 million, this has not bridged the remaining gap between costs and anticipated revenue. A fee adjustment, as detailed in the final rule, is necessary to ensure USCIS recovers the costs of its operations while also meeting the application processing goals identified in the 2007 fee rule.

    Highlights of the 2010 Final Fee Rule

    The final fee rule will increase the average application and petition fees by approximately 10 percent. In recognition of the unique importance of naturalization, the final fee rule contains no increase in the naturalization application fee.

    The final fee rule establishes three new fees for:


    Regional center designation under the Immigrant Investor Pilot Program (EB-5);
    Individuals seeking civil surgeon designation (with an exemption for certain physicians who examine service members, veterans, and their families at U.S. government facilities); and
    Recovery of the USCIS cost of processing immigrant visas granted by the Department of State.
    The final fee rule adjusts fees for the premium processing service. This adjustment will ensure that USCIS can continue to modernize as an efficient and effective organization.

    The final fee rule reduces fees for six individual applications and petitions:


    Petition for Alien Fianc� (Form I-129F);
    Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status (Form I-539);
    Application to Adjust Status from Temporary to Permanent Resident (Form I-698);
    Application for Family Unity Benefits (Form I-817);
    Application for Replacement Naturalization/Citizenship Document (Form N-565); and
    Application for Travel Document (Form I-131), when filed for Refugee Travel Document.
    The final fee rule eliminates two citizenship-related fees for those service members and veterans of the U.S. armed forces who are eligible to file an Application for Naturalization (Form N-400) with no fee:


    Request for Hearing on a Decision in Naturalization Proceedings (Form N-336); and
    Application for Certificate of Citizenship (Form N-600).
    Lastly, the final fee rule expands the availability of fee waivers to new categories, including:


    Individuals seeking humanitarian parole under an Application for Travel Document (Form I-131);
    Individuals with any benefit request under the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008; and
    Individuals filing a Notice of Appeal or Motion (Form I-290B) following a denial of any application or petition that did not initially require a fee.
    Final Rule: Schedule of Fees

    The following schedule lists the adjusted fees that will take effect on November 23, 2010, alongside the existing fees in effect until that date:



    Form No.

    I believe H1/H4 has nothign to do with I485 application. You can file for her 485. Since she is on h1, you should mention h1 for Adavane parol. Since she has h1 stamped and can travel outside, advance parol is not required now. You can apply for AP any time while 485 is pending.

    and since we are filing for AP now, i'd mention H4 on AP. is it right?

    Once your Priority date of a category is current and namechecks are cleared, it is First in first out within the country quota. At that time, earlier priority dates do not matter at all. What matters is how early you applied for your I485 (date the application was physically received by the center, and not the date a notice was sent).

    For Nebraska:

    For Texas:
    https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=TSC

    Summary for I485:
    Nebraska has processed most applications that it has had for 7 months (filed on or before April 14 2007).
    Texas has processed most applications that it has had for 6 months.

    Since 6 months is the target, Texas can be considered to be caught up, and Nebraska will likely have caught up next month.

    For I485 that makes the visa bulletin the main issue.
