Today I got I-140 approval and I am eligible for apply for I-485.
Case successfully transfer from EB3 to EB2
I am also anticipating international travel on business.
My lawyer told, just applies for I-485. As I have H1 approval till 2009 and current visa sampled on my passport.
I am thinking to apply for I-485, EAD and AP at the same time.
Is it good to apply I-485, EAD and AP all at the same time?
I was told, once I-485 applied I can�t travel unit received the notice of receipt of I-485. Is this true?
Today�s contribution $40

Wanted to let everybody know that we received our green cards in hand today. We immediately made a trip to the Social Security office to update the records and get rid of the clause that says "not valid for work without INS authorization". We also signed a new I-9 with the green card.

First let me state that I need people like you to proceed and hence I will be happy to answer the points you rasied to the best of my ability:
We all agree that there is severe backlog. Only way the backlog will alleviate is by increasing visa numbers, which not going to happen any time sooner.
So some people (and I know around 10 of them) what they are doing is the following:
They got the chance to file their 485 last July , which is pending. They are now contacting several small desi consulting firms to file for their fresh labor in EB2 category. Once their labor is filled and new I-140 is approved, they plan to attach new I-140 to the original 485 and hence effectively convering to Eb2 category but with priority dates in 2002 and 2003 (because original I-140 had that priority). Worst, they would never join that desi consulting firm...
This how the system is being gamed. If I know 10 such cases, I am sure there must be thousand like that.Now you tell me , isn't that unfair to the people already in Eb2 line as well as the ones who do not know how to game the system
By the way: If any one is interested, I know of three such consulting firms that can do for you for a fee.
First: I appreciate that you have not lost your cool yet despite all the opposition and rude posts against you. Rollingflood on the other hand does not share those qualities with you well. We will not close the thread as long as the discussion remains civil.
While I personally do not support the lawsuit idea because it divides the community in two parts and there are better ways to help the community. You can try to help positively for the greater good for everyone or run a negative campaign that will help some but hurt others who are also like you and are genuinely following the law. I also think it will be expensive and may not have a lifeline. As IV members we need to all work together to fix the system. This was the basis of founding IV. The aim was never to look after our own selfish interests and hurt others who are like us. We never discriminated between different EB categories or country of chargeability. The intent of our fight is not to deny others their greencards and get ours first, but to allow everyone get their greencards. The intent is to have the system be efficient and work the way it was intended. IV core team has never made action items or ask lists in campaigns to suit their own selfish needs.
Now in this post you have raised a serious issue. If a fraud is going on, do collect evidence and file a complaint against it. If consulting companies are making money by gaming the system, drag those companies in your complaint. Help punish such people who are gaming the system. IV community will appreciate that.
There is some wisdom needed here to draw a line between selfishness and working with honest intentions to clean up the system.

HRs generally "quote" the policy word in every sentence they speak or write. It is a matter of interpretation. The HR may not have a decision making power and is just following what he/she is asked to do. No company has a policy that says GC or citizen, but policy can says "Authorized to work for any em ployer in the United States. I guess it is a matter of interpretation.
The HR seems to be ill informed. Many companies do accept EAD and they are quite aware of the delays in EAD renewal - and that has rarely been the basis to reject a petition.
If this is a trend then it is an issue to all, but if this is an isolated case then definitely you can look into places other than Capital One.
If you want to spend time and resources you can go to a lawyer, but you have no guarantee that you will get the job there too.
I see in Capital Ones' career website they only have the restriction
"Capital One will not file non-immigrant visa petitions for alien workers."
Need to tell him that
1- EAD does not involve filing any petition on your behalf
2- Making a rule to hire only Citizen and GC with no security reason is as discriminatory as not hiring based on race (DHS opinion not yours)
3- You will not let something like this go quietly (try to put that point politely, but they may see it as a positive thing that you are determined and have the courage to stand up for what's right)

Hi Friends,
I am in the process of filling I-485 form and got the following question, can you please help?
My stamped visa expired 1 year back and I am currently with H1B approval notice. In the 2nd page of I-485 form, under Part 3. Processing Information, I am wondering what I need to fill for the following columns.
1. Nonimmigrant visa number: Is this the EAC number of my current I797 or the visa number from my expired visa?. If it is from the expired visa, there are multiple numbers in the visa stamp, which one is the visa number?
2.Consulate where visa was issued: Is it the name of the consulate issued my last visa or Department?
3.Date visa isssued: Is this is the date of last visa issued or the approval date of my current I797
Thanks advance for all your valuable suggestions.

Thanks ndialani.
I raised an SR on 8/25/2009. I got a response that my "case was being actively processed, allow 60 days for a decision to be made". I kept calling uscis, every CSR told me the same thing "wait until Oct 25, and then raise another SR". I got the CPO email on 10/22.
As I mentioed in the previous posts, though I tried Senator, Ombudsman, calls thru my lawyer, I beleive that SR is the one that makes the IOs take a case out of a whole bunch and keeps it in the queue for approval.

Looks like Obmudsman office have acknowledged the problem. Just read this on their site
......
However, the Ombudsman understands that USCIS may deny the Form I-485 in cases of portability (the ability to change jobs) before first issuing a Notice of Intent to Deny in certain limited circumstances. These include, for example, where the beneficiary is ineligible for the benefits of the Form I-485 by statute, or the Form I-140 is withdrawn before the Form I-485 was pending for 180 days........

Once again a big Thank You to all of the volunteers behind this campaign.

Hi
I just spoke to a very nice IO. I asked about my name check , she said that it's pendig and FBI name check is 9 months behind the scheduale. That all the information she gave me.
does everybody go through FBI check name or only a percentage?
Everybody has to go through name check. A "small percentage" get stuck. Right now most of this forum is in "receipt mode". Let us wait for 1 more year to see how many scream " i am stuck in namecheck" . Just ask Indians/Chinese/Russians.

Plz stop throwing mud at each other.
US Mortogage Economy is much bigger pie in which our share sometimes minimum (people like me who did not by home) and people who bought are venting out the prices are come down.
The fact of the matter is, anything is possible in US. Did not we hear Real Estate downs in New York and California in late 90s?
By saying that you want to make money by selling house, you are taking risk.
Now, if system provides a mechanism to walk away with a foreclosure, people will do it. It has been happening on Backruptcy and hence GOVT tightened it.
The foreclosure process might also get changed in future.
I do not know full details of ins and outs of Foreclosure so I will leave that to experts advice.
But please stop blaming each other!!!
This is not meant for blame game but for advice to an "co-immigrant".
