both you and your wife should be in US to file for AOS

What was your status when you filed? H1 or L1 or F1? Have you filed before and got rejected? Were you in deportation proceedings before?

Is your PD current in June?

Has there been any updates on the combined EAD + AP document? After the disappointing Sept 2010 VB, this atleast will lessen the pain...

1) Combine EAD and AP into one document and issue for 3 years.

USCIS is in the process of developing a combination work authorization (EAD) and Advance Parole (AP) card. An announcement regarding this combination card will be made later this year.

This is odd! California Service Center has stopped processing EB I-485s long time ago.

Why the heck would NSC process I-485 based on CSC time-line when the case is actually pending at NSC? This just doesn't make any sense.

I highly doubt if the IO (if that's what s/he was) really knows anything.

Hi All,

We are devastated. We got robbed last weekend. We lost everything including our green cards. After 6 years of wait, we got the cards in May. Unfortunately, we did not make any photocopies. We applied for replacement of cards using I-90 forms. Has anyone been in such a situation ?

Please help us with any suggestions.

Thanking you all.

You can open a PO Box in your name and update the address with USCIS. I've done that.

Yes, IV is working on that. If you have not sent the fax #10 and #11 already, please send them and encourage your friends to send it. It addresses your concerns.

Problems for EB based immigration is due to visa number shortages and relief can be achieved by an increase in the visa numbers. This will require legislation. Ombudsman has no role in this. Every one knows the current problems are due to shortage of visa numbers. Unfortunately, it is looking highly unlikely that congress will do anything until after the presidential elections. I don't know if you noticed it, as the democratic campaigns are going on, Hilary was being attacked for supporting no licenses for illegals in New York State. These people will avoid any immigration legislation. Whereas employment based immigration is non controversial, democrats know if they pass any such legislation, no republican will vote for the legalization. So the stalemate will continue until after next year's house and presidential election. Even republicans such as Cornyn are tiring out for legal immigration bills, where as the democrats are as enthusiastic as ever about solving illegal immigration problems only. Note the frequent atttempts at gettting the Dream act passed every few weeks.

....
one thing what we can do is start writing emails to the ombudsman cisombudsman@dhs.gov

i think everybody shall start telling their stories and give the ombudsman a bulleted list about what needs to happen to fix the broken system...just a thought...it may have a chance of better visibility.

i may be too naive but nevertheless why miss the opportunity to spread the word around...

Thanks for the comment!

I've done the entire process on my own untill today. I also did not have any lawyers involved in any of the misdemeanors. I do have documentation of all the cases. All cases are closed and I'm just paying the fines and have to put up with the probation. I spoke to a lawyer (first time I met with him) today and he advise me to pay him $600 to accompany me to the interview.

Any take on the lawyer's advice? Or can I take the challenge on my own?

Better to take a lawyer with you. He knows immigration law better than you do. At the most you stand to lose 600 bucks that way.
