Considering the state of the economy and considering that the most important poisiton to save is that of the primary applicant, I suggest that USCIS process cases of primary applicants asap.
Family members can contnue on EAD for long time; however if the principal applicant loses job and can not find another one, the entire family is done - pack bags and leave.
What do you think?
ssh --> I see from your profile your PD as 2001 and understand your frustration, waiting long. I like the idea what you has told... but not sure if it is practical.
Even I think, we need to ensure, the criteria for apply for EB immigration must be met @ the time the application is accepted. But after that, if the applicant status change in the interim, that should not jeopardize the entire applicaiton it self. With EB, they want to ensure, the status is met @ the time of approval, but given the present economic condition, any thing can happen, and hope USCIS, does not utilize this to penalize the law abiding legal immigrant folks for the delay by USCIS in processing application.
I'm not sure, The application eligibility should be verified/met at the time an application is accepted for processing and not @ approval is my view. But might not be acceptable to vast majority. Return the application immediately if criteria is not met, but not after many many years.

Hi,
Need quick suggestion:
Company A filed for GC. Labor and I-140 was approved. I-485 was filed during July 2007.
I changed employer in June 2009; replied to RFE and filed AC21 in July 2009.
I came to know that my GC sponsring company is going to close the company soon. My current immigration attorney is suggesting that if that happens; and if INS came to know that GC sponsring company is closing down, they will revoke my I-140.
Is it true? I thought after AC21 is invoked; whatever happens to GC sponsring company, it will not impact my GC application in any way.
Please advice.
V
you should be fine ...
just keep your AC21 documents intact...
Have a happy new year ..dont worry,

Hi, I have been searching for appointments in Canada for a while now, and have had no luck at all. I check the nvars website everyday, but it always says no appointments available. I read some posts here about how hard it is to find appointments, and started checking in the afternoons during work like they mentioned. I search in montreal, toronto, and vancouver but I don't find anything. Don't even need one for next week - anytime is ok.
Also, I looked at some services like XVARS and NvarsAppointment - does any one have any experience using these services?
Please advise!

Yes that�s a good suggestion. We need more people than whose GC is stuck. One issue is motivating them. I was almost shocked to see the indifference of many immigrants � some of them who went through the same process very recently. I came here almost 10 years ago as a student and many of my friends got GC�s/citizenship (they had their own hassles but now its over). When I talk to them what is going on now � they simply express surprise over how/why I didn�t get it even now and forget it. But I don�t feel bad to remind them again to visit this site or something else and do something (sending faxes /talking to their employers / contributing money/ whatever they can). My point is � don�t expect an immediate action from any, even friends � especially if this does not affect them; but don�t let this discourage you. Engage them in a discussion � most of them already know the terminology like retrogession/140/485/labor etc � remind them their own process and how difficult it was and how finally there is a systematic effort to do something about it. I am sure at least some people will respond favorably.
There is so much momentum right now; if we miss this � we know the consequences.

My Father is applying for Citizenship in Nov 10. If he becomes Citizen then can I file I485 under F3(married sons and daughters of citizen parents). Category and port priority date of May 03 from my employment base I-485 to I-485 under F3?
hi there,
Unfortunately INA (immigration and naturalization act) does not allow to transfer Employment Based priority dates to Family Based immigration. So no, you can not do it.

I ordered a Pentax Optio W80 and plan to use it for underwater shots in a very clear Ozark river. Plan to photograph fish and fishing scenes.
Will I need to concentrate on quiet water? Will moving water distort the image like it does from above?
Any advice concerning any aspect of this appreciated.

Doesnt matter how many threads you create to ask the same question, but I am afraid the response you will get will ramain the same. "You do need pay stubs". Hope this helps.

Does anyone know if you need a visa to visit the Grand Turk island? I am on an H1B in the US and taking a cruise to the Bahamas and T&C in April. The
ship stops over at Grand Turk for 6 hours.
Not sure about specific places, but in general problems are when you are coming back to US.
If you have stamped and valid h1b for returning back to US, you should be fine.
I have not had any issue or heard of any issues while visiting mexico, hawaii or alaska

What stage is this reform bill in?
girlfriend Happy Birthday Little Man
unbreakable
06-03 12:18 AM
I got the following email from my friend. Thought I would share it here.
Folks,
As most of you might know, there are a number of Immigration reform bills that are in various stages of their life in the US Congress. There is this 1 particular bill which is really important to people like us - Employment based legal immigrants from India & China: Bill 5882.
Highlights of the bill that are of use to EB applicants:
1) Would recapture unused Visas from past years and roll them over from one fiscal year to another.
2) EB 1, 2, 3 would become current and would remain current for quite a few years
I know some of you might have already got your greencard. But I am sure you know a number of others, many of them your close relatives and friends, who are stuck in this queue for a long time. If not for yourself, please take action for them.
Action needed:
1) Please go to http://www.opencongress.org/bill/110-h5882/show
Register your email address and vote YES for the bill.
How this helps: Online polling is an easy way for senators to gauge the popularity of a bill. If all the EB applicants were to VOTE yes, it
would take the number over 200,000 easily. The most popular bill has around 7000 votes. A bill on opencongress.com having 50,000 votes
is sure to garner a lot of attention.
2) Forward this email to all your friends and relatives who will benefit from this bill.
Only a systematic, organized online campaign would only us all to get LEGAL PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS in the USA.
Thanks for your time!

1. You can work with EAD for whomever you want.
2. Technically someone may be able to establish that this is legal. But you may have to be very careful and may end up having to prove that both you and the original sponsor had real intent to have the employment relationship and may have to explain why that intent could not be translated to reality. If your explanation is not satisfactory to the adjudication officer (this ia a subjective matter), he can treat the whole affair as fraud and you will have your hands full for a long time.
This is my opinion.

Looking at the responses from admins and core group on the Frist Bill threads it appears that the strategy for IV is to
(i) Send mass faxes to senators to establish IV as a significant org
(ii) Use the above leverage and QGA contacts to try and include additional favourable clauses in the bill while still supporting the bill as is.
The 2 main broad clauses that everyone seems to have consensus on is
(A) Re-instatement of AC-21 (paragraph 5) in full so that oversubscribed countries are eligible to use left-over visas from the rest of the world.
(B) Ability to file I-485 while the visa number is retrogressed.
This thread is to discuss alternatives for these 2 main clauses so that various options can be discussed with Senators if they are not willing to put these clauses as is:
For example:
(A) AC-21 clause alternatives
1. Put in the clause for a limited time period like 5 years, this will relieve the curretn backlog as well as make sure that the immigration per country numbers are not skewed for ever.
2. Increase the per-country limits to 25% so it may be skewed but not that much
3. Increase the per-country to 25% for a limited period of time ( 5 years)
4. Have per country limit 10% on current year only. But for recapture from previous years do not impose per country limit.
(B) Filing I-485 when priority dates not curretn
1. allow for filing if I-140 approved and priority dates stilll not curretn
2. allow for filing of 6 months has passed since I-140 approved and priority dates curretn
3. USCIS favourite :-) allow filing if 45 days has passed since I-140 has been filed and priority dates not curretn.
Pleas pitch in with alternative ideas on these 2 main clauses.

My employer is not ready to give a copy of I-140. I was wondering if any of you used "The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)" to get it.
So far I found that there are 3 things to be done for FOIA :
1. A request letter mentioning what exactly you are asking for.
2. Notarized copy of Form DOJ-361 (Certification of Identity)
3. Fee
Wanted to know, if any of you actually did this and get a copy of I-140 back. What is the fee ? How did you pay it ? Was there any other document that you sent ? Am I missing anything ? Who did you send the request to ?
