    B) photo copy of form I-20 or IAP66 school records (front and back) including all school annotations
    c) Photocopy (front and back) of applicant's Form I-94 Arrival/Departure Record

    Below is my immigration timeline

    CLASS ------ VALID FROM ------ VALID TO ------ Comments
    H1-B -------- 5/16/1995 -------- 5/17/1998
    H1-B -------- 5/17/1998 -------- 5/17/2001

    H1-B -------- 7/1/2001 --------- 9/30/2001
    0-1 --------- 10/3/2001 ------ 10/1/2004 ------ Stamped in Chennai

    0-1 --------- 4/3/2007 --------- 3/13/2010
    0-1 ---------- 5/2/2207 --------- 5/12/2009

    After 1/15/05 (EB-1 denial)
    - Left the country on 6/15/05 (less than 6 months)
    - During this time, applied for O-1 visa and got approved
    - Got visa stamping in Chennai with O-1 visa
    Do you see any issues with my response ?

    Pretty long timeline and multiple visa types. Not sure how O-1 works and whether it is a dual intent visa. In any case, looks like the RFE is pretty straight forward and they only need the historical documents, possibly because the record is pretty long.

    **- This is not legal advise.

    All you guys,

    Take an Infopass appointment and tell them that you have not received FP notice. Sometimes taking infopass appt helps. So you can try that option.

    CAn you please help with the process on how to take an infopass.

    Sorry for my ignorance.

    Thanks in advance,
    Shana

    You can get EAD and AP when you apply for I 485. After you get EAD you can apply for SSN. Looks like you and your mom have not yet applied for I-485. If that's the case, then unfortunately you won't be eligible for FAFSA as per my knowledge. I may be wrong.

    If we're forced to see the glass half full, delayed 140 processing may actually be good for some people who are about to be laid off and whose 140 is on shaky grounds. It might just buy'em some more time to switch employers and figure out alternatives.

    Maverick_2008

    Ummm, how exactly is delayed I 140 good if they are about to be laid off? To be able to use AC21 these guys need need their I 140 approved and have worked for the employer 6 months after receipt date.

    I don't see the logic in your statement.

    Given the demographics of the greater Seattle area in general, and Redmond in particular - I'm surprised "softies" haven't taken over the WA chapter completely... :)

    Hope to see all of you in DC..

    cheers!
    jazz

    My wife and me have joined the yahoogroups for WA chapter, We are going for the rally, how can we encourage more friends in WA state to go? I know there are people willing to sponsor, provide part of funds, help with accommodation and so on and if anyone in WA has any of these limitations, people are willing to coordinate. How do we get the point across to all Washingtonian GC sufferers or people who just filed for 485 and don't see the bleak tomorrow. How do we wake them up all up? We have so many employers here, is there something we can do to wake them up from the slumber and mirage of filing 485? I must admit, I was sleeping too until yesterday when we booked our tickets.

    Thanks for the 2 quick responses... albeit, opposite in recommendation :)

    1. No need to file new I-485
    - Has anyone done this?
    - Any risks that we should think about?

    2. File new I-485
    - Has anyone done this?
    - Apart from the additional cost and document preparation time, is there any other downside?

    Funny thing is before this happened, I ran into a lot of threads suggesting interfiling was easy. Now that it is at the doorstep, there are quite a few questions and some confusion. I am thinking of getting a 20 min appt with the M law firm.

    Appreciate any responses or assistance!!!!

    Cheers!

    I found the following info from Ron G's website, not sure that most of it applies in this case... since both I-140 have been approved and the later one under EB2 does reference the EB3 priority date.

    When an I-140 is approved, your priority date is perfected. If the labor substitution I-140 has been approved, then you own that priority date forever. If you have to file the new I-140 before the old one is approved, you can later show the CIS the two priority dates (from the petition approval notices) and pick the better preference category and earlier priority date - even though they may be from different petitions. In this case, "later" means after the I-140 with the earlier priority date is approved. All you need to do is write to the CIS and enclose copies of the relevant approval notices and the I-485 receipt notice. What you should do is make sure that they consolidate both I-140 petitions into the same file. You don't need to file a new I-485, all you need to do in interfile your second I-140.

    You should make a copy of the approval notice for the first I-140, a copy of the receipt notice for the second I-140, and the write a letter to the CIS, asking them to give your second I-140 the priority date established by the first. You can cite the regulatory authority found HERE. (Refer text below) Send it to the correspondence address shown in the lower left portion of the receipt notice.

    You can upgrade your preference classification while staying with the same employer, but you will need a new job. Attempting to use the same job with different minimum qualifications will call into question the legitimacy of the original labor certification. If the second I-140 is denied, it will have no effect on the first. There shouldn't be any difficulty porting in an LC substitution situation.

    The CIS regulations at 8 CFR 204.5(e) provides for the retention of a previously established priority date under the circumstances described below:

    (e) Retention of section 203(b)(1), (2), or (3) priority date. --

    A petition approved on behalf of an alien under sections 203(b)(1), (2), or (3) of the Act accords the alien the priority date of the approved petition for any subsequently filed petition for any classification under sections 203(b)(1), (2), or (3) of the Act for which the alien may qualify. In the event that the alien is the beneficiary of multiple petitions under sections 203(b)(1), (2), or (3) of the Act, the alien shall be entitled to the earliest priority date. A petition revoked under sections 204(e) or 205 of the Act will not confer a priority date, nor will any priority date be established as a result of a denied petition. A priority date is not transferable to another alien.

    Excerpt from Gregs blog and comments :(

    "Things are going SOUTH . No agreement and No relief.
    Class action is the only option. USCIS just wanted to test the waters and now they don't want to settle. Every thing else is just rumor mill. Every one who claimed to know the insider info was just taken for a ride. Welcome to beltway politics 101."


    OK. Now we have this new thread about the "comment" made some anonymous user "south" made on a blog by siskind, and siskind himself is looking at IV for new updates. Man, give us a break. That comment was not made by siskind, but it was made by some user on his blog.

    Thanks, but keep moving.

    Anything you will take for your H1 stamping + documents to prove that she is your wife. Her H4 status depends on your H1 status, your relationship and your ability to support her.

    Thanks for your reply, but she will go alone for stamping and we have applied I-485, ap,ead on july 2nd. so is there any problem for visa stampling if our I-485 is pending.

    Thanks for your reply it was helpful.

    BUt can any one tell me do we have to be on payroll for at least 6 months after you get Gc or can we on and off payroll and still be with the same employer for what ever length of time we stick to the same employer who filed GC..

    Srh1: Please read my comments in the above two threads (thread links posted by bluez). I tried to summarize everything there.

    As far as your above question is concerned: You will be just fine even if you are on and off the payroll (especially if the empolyer does not have the project for some time...meaning that on and off was triggerred by the employer); because it still shows YOUR intention to stay with the employer.

    Feel free to ask any further questions (after going through above two threads) if you need any further info...I am not a lawyer but I will be happy to share what I know.

    Good Luck.

    Hi All,
    I have come to this forum to ask for some advise because this is one of the forums where lot of the visitors are engineers, and most of them work in computers related fields.
    I have a stable job( non-engineering) and I am making a decent salary(more than 200K/year) right now but I just hate my job.I desperatly want to change my field.
    I am hoping to get my green card next year( PD 06/2004 NSC EB 2 India).I need your advise on how to get into computer/software/IT field.
    I do not have an engineering background but am willing to go back to school. I would like to start working on this transition while I wait for my GC.

    My questions are -
    1- Is there a shortcut of getting into any computer/software or related field ?training,short courses, anything!
    Absolutely, just have some experience with a Komputer software, they call Microsoft Outlook. Its actually a suite of products, Office, word and excel. It can get little tough initially, but as you know fruits will be bitter, when you get trained in such a tough course. Set aside 1-2 months in a week, for this.
    2- If I have to go back to school what major will I need to take? Any specific requirements?
    I'd not waste time for school. See 1. A simple course is sufficient.
    3-I have a bachelors but not in engineering- can I go straight for a MS in computer science or will I have to do a bachelors in Computers first.

    See 1. Dont spend anytime in MS or PhDs.

    4-How's the current job market and and also if you have any idea/view about future job scenario?
    Current job market is booming. You may have seen job losses in other fields, but in IT, its not the case. I was making $125K 3 months back and now I am switching jobs as I have 5 offers, offering me more than 200K. My employer is begging me to stay.
    5-Have any of you made/seen such a transition at my stage?- I am 35, married with working spouse.
    Absolutely, 50% in this forum are same like you. Me too.
    6-Also if somebody can give an idea about salaries in computer related fields?
    Point 4 answers.

    Have a good day guys and thank you in advance for your views.

    Hope this helps too. I fully agree with Lord.
    So how long have you been in the US.

    Her H1 is valid from Oct. onward, You can still file her status as H4. Apply for EAD and AP also. Hope this help.
    Cheers
    My wife's current H4 is valid till Nov. She got her H1 also approved from Oct'2007. She checked the status this morning only on USCIS.

    I'm applying for I-485 and adding her as spouse. Should I file for her advance parole and put her status as H4 in it? What happens to to her H1 approval, if advanced parole gets approved also. Will she loose her H1 status?

    any ideas??

    But ksircar, instead of accepting can't we raise red flags to USCIS?
    This is going to be an issue for lot of folks who all filed for I-485 in the last year July fiasco. We will be forced renew every time. Only by giving 2 years is just a temporary postponement but not solving the real problem.

    It is like Drivers Lincense renewal. If you have your documentation and you have been driving legally should be granted renewal instantly. Why can't they do the same thing with EAD?

    agree.. 90 days is too much.. esp when just dates need to be extended.. In the first place.. it should be non-expiring .. something like valid with I-485 Receipt... and then when accepting EAD employer can check the I-485 status that its still pending... and any change will send email to the employer about 485 current status...

    But then my dear.. where's the money...

    Gov: Show me the money?
    USCIS: let sdo 1 year EAD/AP renewal... and we can sit for 90 days on it for generating this much money... and find cheapest ways of printing the card and mailing... If errors happen we might get more money :-)
    Gov: why are you not moving dates and making more money?
    USCIS: Okay we'll issue 2year EAD and accept more new apps...
    and so on...

    First off, thanks for the response guys.

    So how do i get the copy of the I-140 from the company. Is it my legal right to get this or do i have to beg :) ? Also, company B is a startup and they are willing to file a new Perm application. Is there a big risk of Perm applications being reject from these type of small startup companies?

    My take is that I-140 is a petition from the employer unlike I-485. I don't think its your right to get it if they do not want to give.

    oh - no disrespect to vdlrao - we're looking forward to more posts from him.

    even if some of his predictions are off target, its many more than us mere mortals who cannot even predict (or analyse) this chakravyu of GC bulletins..

    :)

    Come on guys, give him a break.

    His analysis was accurate, if any of you came across the September 08 bulletin, EB2 advanced by two months. Which equates to what vldrao analyzed in the past, the use of 20,000 visas in September.

    We all IV members stand united and lets not adverse someone on the basis of his righteousness. Even if a IV member is wrong, let's all correct him.



    Thanks
