I sat waiting for birds that didn't show, and then a 2-inch bubble floats by... bored to bits I took some pictures just before the bubble burst, and it came out cooler than I expected. What do you think?

If 15 months has passed since your last FP and your GC is still pending then you will receive an FP notice again. It does not mean things are moving and/or someone looking at your AOS file. If you EFILE the EAD - you will receive a FP notice each time for thumb and picture, this is different from 485 FP.

Hi kzinzuwadia,

My infopass went well, in fact, it was good that I took it, the IO told me that due to some error on their part, my file is no longer with them, it was sent back to the main office, she requested my file back from the other office & they will process once it comes back, which takes approx. 2-3 weeks.

Due to that we didn't get my Wife's GC in the court, the IJ told us that since the primary don't have GC, she can't get it. Now we will have to wait another 5 months for her GC.

Does anyone know if the court date can be moved forward if I get my GC ?

Thank you kzinzuwadia.

EAD is one of the documents that is listed in I-9 as the document that confirms both identity and right to work. You spouse can apply for SSN as soon as she has her EAD in hand. S/he may start working before SSN is issued if she applied for the SSN.

When can one add a spouse to the I-485 application, and until when can a spouse be added before getting the Green Card?

My 485 is pending, have the EAD card, and the I-140 is approved. My priority date is not current... anyone knows?

Gradually it has to come to 2007 for sure
because

1)It came till OCT 2006 in 2007 as well as in 2008 , There would be really few members who would have missed the two boats under EB2
but there will be EB3 -> EB2 conversions not sure how many , Hard to estimate

2)The applications to USCIS are gradually decreasing and the trend probably will continue in 2010, Hence lesser revenues for USCIS

so if PD is stable in coming months or even if it has slow and steady increment, I believe 2007 will be current again in coming 3 quarters, if it doesnt happen in oct bulletin

Good job.

Fantastic job Salil. The idea of the poster was simply fabulous.

Keep it up!

The reality is there will not be another immigration bill this year if CIR does not make it. And calling CIR the "amnesty bill" means some of us may have started pandering to and unfortunately have fallen for the anti-immigrationists propaganda trap. That is fine if one thinks its okay to wait for another two years while a new congress settles in and for key immigration bills to come to the floor. However "cutting and running" is what we do when out of fear of association we fail to stand up and speak up and explain our motivating cause which is the plight of legal law abiding immigrants who contribute legally to this country. In my own personal opinion this is an excellent opportunity that can put IV in the spot light and distinguish IV for standing up for highly skilled immigrants. This requires good orational and communication skills so that one is not misquoted. If it takes wearing a t-shirt saying "Support Legal Immigrants" then so be it, but lets not cut and run on the basis of someone elses propaganda. If IV opts out then let it be because we could not find someone who could clearly get our unique message and goals out. Thanks to randallemery for bringing this opportunity to IV's attention and I hope the IV core will respond appropriately as this needs to be a well coordinated effort. When people fully understand the humanitarian reasons why legal immigrants need relief through CIR they tend to be more compassionate and supportive. However if we sit and twiddle our thumbs because of what Lou Dobbs says then we are doing exactly what these anti-immigrationists want us to do. The primary victory of Rep Chris Cannon (R) in Utah ought to be a shot in the arm for those fighting for CIR. Instead of cutting and running he supported CIR, the anti-immigrationist opponents attacked CIR and in the end they still lost. Rep Cannon had the opportunity of being associated with the alleged "amnesty" bill but he stood up bravely to be counted as a CIR supporter and prevailed in the end.

I also called Sen. Menendez regarding the Murray amendment and talked to someone a lady.

hello every1,

I was wondering how many of you are here who had applied their labor with MS + 0 years of experience..

Could you please shed some light on your profile and current standing in GC process ??

Thank youu....

AFAIK, everyone is standing in the queue waiting for the turn. If you have a specific question, please do write instead of collecting statistics

I did not get a second finger printing notice (yet?). The 485 approval notice said that a biometric appt may be sent or the card will arrive. Just keeping my fingers crossed.

My first FP was done in Dec 2007

Congrats. Hope 2 get ur email and cards soon.

My first FP was done in Nov 2007. Its already 15mths and i was wondering they will ask for 2nd one now. But seeing your case, i think my case is normal. i have also read some other threads where ppl have not received 2nd FP even after 15mths.

previously discussed.

check out my post and gc28262 's response in the following link

I believe you need more than 6months of stay for it to be called as continous presence. Anyone shed some light.

RD: July 2nd
PD: Oct 2005
ND: Aug 24 2008
EB2 I

Someone in another thread posted saying TSC IO said they are processing by ND...

using AP with H1B will not affect your h1b status in anyway.

Go with what roseball said ..................... 100% true

What you are saying is incorrect and not what roseball said at all. If you enter on an AP you will no longer be in H1B status. You will be in parolee status. However, you may continue to work on your H1B. Seriously folks, it's not that hard to understand.

Why are you so scared of posting by saying that this problem is with you. Why do you have to bring your friend in. If it is really for your friend, then why cant he come and ask himself.

I wish I had a friend like you who will find answers to my immigration problems ....
I am also your friend as you are also member of IV and we all are fighting for the same cause.

I will also help you if there is a need and if I can.

Please check my profile. I have filed my 485 on July 2nd and one of the few who was benefited thru IV flower campaign
I have been a member in IV for a while and I have also made contributions.
I am not afraid to speak out, Please reply if you know the answer.



Thanks once again

Card Production Order. I saw this message on I- 765 application on-line check.
hope this help.

You can take any number of salary hike but not different job duties than specified in the labor. No need to inform the labaor department. Because as per law you cannot have different job duties until you get your gc and max one year beyond that.

I am also stuck in the same boat. Infact, I got promoted with 16k hike and demoted in two months. My attorney got a apology letter signed by my VP for attorney records. It is that serious to change job duties.

Great pledge and Thanks.

Members, please update your signature with your pledge. It is an inspiration point for you as well as to other members. We need this inspiration for ourselves more than IV needed.

This pledge and contribution is for ourselves and not for anyone else. We are going to enjoy the fruits if we can make the difference with lawmakers. IV core members can put their head into more important statergic thinking than worrying about funds. We can atleaset help ourselves by this simple pledge. There is not physical work invovled with it. Commonnnnn..... cheer up and lets get what we want from the new congress.

Do your KARMA and leave the results to time.

I pledge to contribute $40 a month. And more when ever I can.

-- Also guys lets keep the momentum going .. we need more people enrolled and every single one of us opening up their wallets.

You missed the sarcasm, never mind :)

Yes, depending on how the educational requirements in your LC is worded - I mean right down to the last word - it just might leave you with some room for manoeuvre.

Yes. I have paid quite amount of money to fill the PERM application.
So, what you are saying that I actually can continue the process?

My humble opinion: the first one is the best. The second and fourth have too much large stuff in the foreground (edit: looking again, the fourth isn't too bad, maybe about as good as the first). The second and fifth shots have too much shadow in the foreground, so the eye prefers the lighter portions of the frame (which incidentally doesn't make the photos seem as deep). The third one is a good shot, but doesn't seem to have enough depth for this assignment, partly (I assume) because the background actually wasn't that far off, though using a wider lens than ~36mm (effective) might help.

My other humble opinion: wait for the birds to get out of... oops, those aren't birds. Clean your sensor! ;)

Needhelp, new year greetings!

Its a team effort, nandakumar, abhijit and few others are behind this new effort. You will see, as the day progresses.


Wonderful news!
And gsc is back with a bang!
