Thank you both for the response. Yes, the new filing fees apply as you rightly said and I was able to Efile also.
The link below was useful in efiling. Just one variation though, USCIS schedules the biometrics appointment, so no need to call the 800 # to schedule one as mentioned in the link.

It's been a while and I don't remember, what I signed - those were the times of innocence, if you could say that :). The physical copy should represent itself in no time once it is approved. I presume that is how the lawyer comes to know about it.

It is 90 days without employment on OPT. 10 days of unemployment between two jobs does not count towards the limit. You can also work part-time (20 hrs/week) or as a volunteer to stop the counter.
I recommend contacting your international department for details. They should be able to guide you depending on how useful/active they are!

Immigration Law from Houston Immigration Lawyer - Annie Banerjee Has Just Posted the Following:
The fees for most CIS applications are astronomical. For instance the fee for N-400 to become a US Citizen is $675/- The fee for adjusting status to become a permanent resident is $1010/- Many people simply cannot afford that. However previously there were no forms and no guidelines to filing anything without fees with the CIS. If anyone filed a form and could not afford a fee, they had to write a letter. But the mailroom personnel at CIS either does not read or perhaps cannot read. So the form used to be returned asking us to send the check. You could go back and forth and in the mean time loose time or even status.
Even more egregious were fees paid due to CIS' mistake. For instance if the CIS in clear cut error denied your case, you had to file a motion to reopen for $585/- We even had a case once where the CIS collected a fee for a I-765 (EAD) filing for $340/- and lost the file. When we traced and send them the check, the reply was that my bank should ask for the money back. My bank, Bank of America, did not know how to. So we simply paid again and refiled.
Now the CIS is proposing a form: I-912 which will establish clear guidelines for fee waivers. Hopefully the form in its approved version will have no fee requirements for CIS' mistakes along with applications for applicants below the poverty level.
Don't just start spending the money that you were saving for the CIS fees yet though. Sometimes these forms take years to come to fruition. As for me, I will believe it when I ultimately see it.

Hi All..
I am on H1 since Oct 07. I haven't left USA so far and so I haven't gone for stamping. However, I heard that I need to go to stamping before completion of 1yr after getting H1. Is this true? and to what cases does this rule apply?
Please help. I am confused.
Thanks,

Hi Gurus,
My PD is 04/2002 and RD is 18/June/2007, EB3 India. EAD approved and fp done in Aug.
There are no soft LUDs on my 485 after 7/17/2007. What does this mean? Is there a way to check if I am stuck in name check?
I see many people with later RD and PD getting soft LUDs. Is anyone else in the same boat? Please advice..
thanks

3. Write your I-140 Receipt # in �Column 4�.
4. Important: Make sure you complete �Column 7� or you will be asked to send you application again.
5. For �Column 8� you can sign it yourself under �Executed in US� (No need to use Notary)
6. Send this form to:
USCIS National Record Center

As of June 19, 2009, approximately 44,500 H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085) cap-subject petitions and approximately 20,000 petitions qualifying for the advanced degree cap exemption had been filed. USCIS will continue to accept both cap-subject petitions and advanced degree petitions until a sufficient number of H-1B petitions have been received to reach the statutory limits, taking into account the fact that some of these petitions may be denied, revoked, or withdrawn.
Employers thinking of hiring visa workers have more flexibility this year to interview and choose the best candidates as visas will be open for at least 2 more months.

Looks like this year quota wont be used. The sheer strict enforcement of the rules has resulted in plunging applications.

Hi,
I got an RFE on EAD Renewal and notice says the following.
The application you submitted must bear the original signature of the applicant. You must sign the attached copy of Form I-765 in the signature block marked in Red.
I got only RFE notice with this information and there is no attachment with this RFE.
I am 200% sure that I signed the application.
Now I have no idea what to do and there is no attachment to sign.
I filed myself without attorney help.
Any one please help me how to handle this RFE.
Can I send new I-765 application or request again for attachment
My EAD expiring on 8/26/2008
Paper based application
Applied on May 5th 2008 at NSC

You are absolutely correct. The original poster's information indicates that no I-485 is pending, so I wasn't thinking about the AP alternative.

Just to be contrarian, I think the recent H1-B and L-1 fee increase is an opportunity. Instead of playing a victim of legislative abuse, we should come out batting with an offense. We should get businesses to lobby for us. We should get congress people educated about the unfairness. We should not say the fee is wrong, because these are after all elected officials and they will not jeopardize their election prospects by going against this measure. So we should say ok take this fee but then provide us with administrative fixes that we want.
The H1B/L1 fees is designed to hit the body shopping business model. It is nothing but a
legal/labor cost arbitrage that most indian IT service shops follow.
The fees is not the last but the beginning and more will be piled on as they will come back again in a year or so to fund more "secure the mexican border" initiatives. It is a beast that can never be satisfied. The American It companies are not impacted by the 50% rules and they care less about it. So it the resistance effort will be very minimal...like it happened this time.
