I am hearing a lot of cases of RFE. I experienced the same when my best friends case recvd an RFE. They asked all sorts of questions. After filing a reply, there was no update for over a month.
Eventually, her lawyer re-filed the case with same center, with same set of documents (every single document was the same) under premium processing.
The same center approved her H-1B in 3 days flat. No questions asked. I guess they are looking for a legal bribe of premium processing fees :D

Congrats and thank you for your contributions. Do visit IV to continue your support and offer answers to members. We want more GC members so that in the coming future we can launch an effort on items that help in citizenship. For example, time for citizenship be counted from the date of I140 approval. There can be others if we have more GC members and we all brainstorm on ideas.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the feedback. Still I am little bit confused so here are my very specific questions.
1. Can I work for a US firm which has office in India while staying in India?
2. I asked about EAD because I thought that I am still employed with US firm the only difference is that my work location is India and not US. I still get pain in US salary, in that case do i need EAD? Can my GC process continue without me visiting US now and then?
3. Can I still renew my AP/EAD while i am out of US working for US firm and getting paid in US salary but work location in India?
Thanks,
Mickey

Hello,
My fiancee and I got married in India in May 2010 and have a marriage certificate. I came back in June 2010 to US and she stayed back in India. On August 8th 2010 my I-485 got approved. However we have not yet registered our marriage in US (however it is registered in India). Will this be a problem? Did we need to register our marriage in US prior to August 02 2010 for us to be able to file for her green card using derived status? Or is marriage registered in India fine.
I really really appreciate a response.

NC initiates a litte after 485 is filed..
Fingerprinting hs nothing to do with NC.
MY FP was done in June 2008.
485 filed July 2007.
NC initiated Sept 2007.
I am thinking that USCIS will initiate name check proess only after we give fingerprints. Is this true?

hi saint, nothing against you, i wonder what is the freakin logic USCIS uses to decide on 2 year EAD approval, here i am with pd not being current for atleast next 2-3 years (given the halt of eb3-I), 2nd ead extn, in my 8th year of h1b, i got a one year EAD extn, where as a eb2 person gets a 1 year validity...i only wish we can know whats going in the minds of these decision makers..
Non taken my friend. I was surprised myself to see 2 yr extns. I think they have some wierd fuzzy logic on approvals..which is beyond our intelligent minds:cool:.

Hi,
Thanks for this service.
I had applied for my I-485 in the July 2007 fiasco and i have my EAD and AP renewed every 2 /1 years. My I-140 is approved in Mar 2008.
Now i got a full time opportunity with a company and i want to know which option is best for me. I have my H1 visa valid till 2011 November and i am now in 5th year of my H1.
Shall i use H1 transfer to move to new company which offered me full time job or use EAD?
Which is safer for me? And do i need to apply AC21 or is it optional? Most of my friends are saying to not to apply for AC21.
If i use EAD and if my I-485 has any issues, what will be my status?
Thanks for your help.
If the new company is willing to do H1 transfer, you can opt for this option. If not, EAD is not a bad option. People say being on H1 is better than EAD, in case 485 is denied in future.
AC21 again is subject to different opinions. I know people who got GC's doing and not doing AC21.
I would suggest you go by the new company lawyer's opinion if he/she belongs to a reputable firm.
I personally used H1 transfer and AC21.

Hi All
Thanks for a great forum. I am EB3 India (PD Dec 02) with 140 approved June this year. Rumor has it that the small firm I work for, is going to be acquired by a much larger firm with thousands of employees globally. I am concerned about my ongoing GC process. First question
Q1. What happens to my GC process?
Considering the behemoth like size of the company that is going to acquire us I am quite sure that the GC process of the few employees from my present employer will take a back seat.
Q2. What are the things I can do proactively.
I have read on various threads that it is possible to join other employers and port the PD to them. But considering the fact that company that started the GC process is no longer there, how would this porting of PD with new labor, 140 etc would occur...
I would appreciate if someone can provide answers to my questions. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

If you are planning to interview at Delhi, then check out the policies of the Delhi Consulate here: http://newdelhi.usembassy.gov/applyinghlopq.html
As of last Sept, there was no requirement to drop off the application a week before the interview, however, Mumbai did have that requirement.
By the way, did you investigate the delays due to PIMS? Any update on how one can request the information about the approved H-1B sent to the consulsate?
I am planning on taking an interview date in Delhi. I read that for mumbai, you have to drop your docs 1 week prior to your appointment. Can anyone explain the procedure for Delhi, please?
I am still waiting for it to show the availablity. But I got HDFC receipt from India.
Once date is shown- I will apply for non immigrant visa on the website. Now will they ask me to put my petition info (I-797) at this time? Or I will just fill in DS 156 and DS 157 forms??
Once I fill in the forms (with bar code), I will have to take them along in the interview. Is it true?? Or I will have to drop out my docs. at VFS location even for Delhi consulate????
Please help ppl...this stamping ordeal is taking toll on me now...alas! I was born earlier ;):p

Since you have work authorization (EAD), you should apply for SSN. For job application you donot need SSN but once you get a job then your employer might ask yr SSN for background check and afterwards for pay check. Generally it takes 2 weeks to get SSN so it's better to apply in advance.
Refer to http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10002.html#how and check out Application For A Social Security Card (Form SS-5) under How do I get a number and card? You need to fill out this form.
This form has list of documents you need to get a SSN card. Generally you need to carry your Passport and EAD. They will return all the documents at same time. They won't keep the documents with them and they need all original documents. They donot accept Copies. Hope this helps.

As an F1 student you can surely apply for EB2-NIW. Being from India you will not be able to file an I-485 concurrently as EB2 priority dates are not current. On the other hand you may file for EB1-A and I-485 concurrently. Getting approval under any of these categories is not trivial though as there are a lot of things to prove to the USCIS's satisfaction.
One thing to note is that you may have trouble renewing an F1 visa from a consulate in India if you have a permanent residence petition pending. This is because an F1 visa is a non-immigrant visa with an intent to return to home country on completion of study. Filing for permanent residence will show that you are a potential immigrant and so donot fulfil the terms and condition for an F1 visa and will be a reason for denial.
Hope this help .........I'm not a lawyer though.

Following are the answers to your questions. :)
I have a question for you too: How are you contributing to Immigrationvoice?
Dear All ,
I recently got my I-140 approved, got our(me and spouse) EAD and AP too.Now what I am wondering is that
1.Am I still on H1 status or the status now becomes EAD ?
You are on H1 unless you request your employer to update your I-9 with EAD.
2. If my H1 still holds good then should I go back to India to get my fresh H1 stamping as it will expire november next year or should I go for one year H1 extensions(as I heard from friends ) till I get the GC ?
Your H1 is not good after it expires. You have to get extension to be in H1 status. Stamping from India would be required if you travel to India with expired stamp on your passport and you choose not to use your AP to return to US.
3. Is there any stipulated time limit within which my wife has to apply for her SSN( we have not yet applied for it. )
There is no time limit.
4. My passport is going to expire on December next year. Do I need to go to India for renewal or it can be done from here itself. If it can be done from here itself then when is the earliest to start that process ?( I will be happy if u could send some links that will guide me ).
You can renew your passport in US and following are the links for Indian Consulates in USA.

One of my friend who applied for an EAD renewal got it approved. But it went back to USCIS as undeliverable by post office. So he calls USCIS and opens an SR, and the rep says that his PR card application has been approved and will be remailed to him. Which means, they initially sent the GC instead of EAD. Can this happen? His PD is not current, he is from india with a PD of 2004.
Also, after he opened an SR for this, he received a notice from USCIS via postal mail that an SR was created and that they are remailing the PR card and if he does not receive it within 60 days, he needs to call them.
I told him that they are mistaking PR card for an EAD card and its the EAD card thats coming back to him. Anyone here had such an experience?? And defenitely my friend is just not excited too as he knows USCIS does not even know to put the correct card name in the notice.

it dont just sound like you have dust on your sensor. you do have dust on your sensor. at this point you have 3 options. you can do what nikon and canon recomend and blow the dust out with a blower bulb at wich point your head may explode from the frustration of NOT getting the dust of since it clings to it through static charge. the next and most stress free way to do it is to find a local camera shop that will clean it for you (not all will do this for you however). the service is available here in okc for 85 smakaronies. The should use a stero scope to get down there and get every piece of dust off so that your sensor will be back to the original shape absolutely no dust. or you can be brave and make a small investment on ecipse cleaning solution and cleaning swabbs. the solution is streakless after it dries. also get a special set of cleaning brushes that you can swipe across the sensor without scratching the sensor. as i said the method i recomend is paying the mola to have someone else do it as when i tried to clean my sensor i was so nervouse i just did not trust myself to do a good job.
