If for a moment we say USCIS has really increased the processing rate and more people are getting green cards which we see is the case. It may signal that on Oct 1st,2007 dates will move ahead of what was the scenario in May visa bulletin.
If we forget the mistake they did in July bulletin and see the brighter side that they process faster, we should hold back our applications now and wait for the scenario on Oct 1st 2007, which would be hopefully a give a good realistic forward movement in dates. Since receipt date is important we should not get emotional and send in the application. This is just a thought.
Making Current in July was anyway like a lottery which denied all calculations based on pending cases.Before getting into law suits and protests which are also needed we have to take stock of all the implications and whether we really can provide 100% to these efforts.
From the posts coming since yesterday, most of the members are agitated and it seems we fail to realize that this event itself was a miscalculation and all of us were trying to get benefit of it considering the long waits we have endured for just getting a chance to file AOS.
We also knew that even if the applications are accepted there was no way we can get our green cards for a long time. AC21 and EAD for spouse was the main aim of many applicants.
This is really a sad story of people who have sacrificed career prospects, faced family separation, made important decisions like marraige.
Hope this post makes sense and we take a step back and reconsider our actions. This is not out of fear but past experience of lawsuits explained in other posts.

Hi all,
I am currently out of USA.My new employer has submitted H1 Transfer and extension of stay.
The petition has been approved along with new I-94. I have the original I-797 with me .
I understand that we have to surrender I-94 before leaving USA.But in my case I got I-94 after I left USA.Now I need to go for visa stamping in India.
Should I submit the new I-94 to the US consulate in India?
Please advise.
Thank you

Friends...
I am considering move to a different state in few months (work from home) keeping my existing job for health reasons... My employer has been nice to me.. so Iam not considering changing job for now... My concerns,
1) Will this situation cause compulsary RFE? Anything I need to be careful of?
2) Do I need to invoke AC21 or just amend my H1 or start using EAD? What is advisable... Any personal experience??
3) Can I claim moving expense (when filing taxes) if moved with same job??
Thanks...

To members in North Carolina. Today I have received inquiry from News and Observer Group of Raleigh, NC. The inquiry has come through an immigration attorney. They would like to interview someone who is affected by retrogression and understand how the problem would cause brain drain from USA. I am thinking that instead I alone making my voice heard, I want to involve IV and other members. So if someone from NC want his/her/their voice heard and want to join me in this interview please write to me on jungalee43@yahoo.com
Based on the responses I would reply to this newspaper.
Admin what should be the approach for this interview? Please guide.

All,
I am in a bit of confusion and needed some info. I had applied for I-485 during July fiasco and my spouse applied as derivative. We had applied for her H1 extension/transfer through another employer after we filed for I-485 as we did not want her to use EAD. We recently received her H-1 approval without I-94.
I am not sure at this point if she has to leave immediately to get the h1 stamp Or she can continue to stay here as her AOS is pending based on derivative status of my application.
Also will her getting approved without I-94 impact her pending AOS in anyway
what was her status when she applied the 485? I am assuming H1, but did she have an unexpired I-94 at that point? Was she getting a regular paycheck? Do you know why you did not get an I-94 with that H1 extension? Usually the only reason that happens is when you are out of status. Which could be a problem with your AOS... Did you talk to the attorney who filed the H1, what does he say?

The only answer to your question is:"it depends". Who are your state's Senators and how interested/influential are they in immigration issues? Same question for whoever is the Congressperson for your district. I don't think any there is any harm in contacting both Senators as well as the Congressperson for your district.

If you have e-mails that's good enough. No need to be scared, if you feel that you have not done anything illegal there is nothing to be afraid of. If your prev. employer starts to threaten in any way play it smart and try and get him to write e-mails, you can use that against him. Always consult a lawyer first to discuss the pro's and cons.
Good luck.
Good luck.

The lawyers did some mixup/goofup and I lost my June 2002 PD. Here is the sequence of events.
Original Labor (Labor1)
PD: June 2002
Category: EB3 (incorrectly filed at that time by lawyers)
State: CA
We didn’t hear about the whereabouts of my labor1 case because it was sent to the Backlog Processing center (all cases after May 2002 were sent)
So the lawyers suggested filing a new labor under PERM.
Second Labor (Labor2)
PD: Oct 2005
Category: EB2
Approved: in December 2005
Second I140
Approved: in December 2005/Early 2006
Received Original Labor Approval in end of Dec 2006
The lawyers decided to combine the 2 cases and file for I-485.
i.e. use the ORIGINAL Labor PD and SECOND Labor EB2.
In April 2007, 485 application was open for “EB2” – “June 2002”.
So the lawyers filed for concurrent I-485 and I-140 for the ORIGINAL EB3 case (they submitted Second Approved EB2 I-140 along with it)
ORIGINAL I-140 was approved in Oct 2007
PLEASE NOTE: the unique situation is that the SECOND I140 was approved before the ORIGINAL I140.
Since April, 2007 - We were told by my company lawyers that the 485 is under process EB2 PD June 2002.
The GC Visa number have been available for EB2 PD June 2002 for a long time now.
But we still hadn’t received our Greencard for a long time and were wondering what is causing this delay.
So after much ado by our lawyers, they agreed to check with USCIS.
Because the Second I140 was approved before the First I1-40, USCIS said that we cannot use old PD
According to our lawyers, Now our current case status is “supposedly” OCT 2005 EB2. So we lost the June 2002 PD.
Is there anyway to recapture the old PD? (with or without refilling I-485)
Any suggestions,help or insight will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Sam

Hi,
I have a question about this. Suppose one had a labor and 140 approved from a company and wants to go to another company. can one file 485 with this other company ? It is for EB3 category.

Dear 17, head back home.
Wait until you become 18 and get GC. You can always run away again. But I think you are not ready (age wise and GC wise) to to do this act now.

It was a nightmare for few weeks but, long story short...I got my new passport after the Embassy cannot find my original I sent for renewal. Please let me know if I need to get it stamped within any timeframe. My current I-797 expires MAY 2010. I have an approved 140 and EAD but my attourney suggested to stay on H1B.
Appreciate your feedback and help in this matter.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
You dont need a visa stamp on your new passport unless you want to use it to re-enter US when you travel. There is no time line associated with getting a visa stamp. You just need to make sure you keep extending your H1 status and get an I-94 with the extension approval. If you have an AP you can use it for re-entering and still can continue working on H1 for the same employer. Else, when you travel the next time, you can setup a visa appointment and get H1 stamped on your new passport.
