The USCIS Webmaster has returned to work. His EAD must have expired on Friday hence the site must have gone down, but the new one is approved and hence the site is up.

Dear Attorney,

Can you please reply to my question? I really need this info at the earliest.

hmmmm how odd....hope its not doing that to anyone else

" I have filed my I-485 (AOS) and I will get an EAD soon. So why should I bother about Rally? -DUH!! "

My dear friend, because when you have filed for I-485, so did 3,49,999 others. Your category will not get more than 3500 visas a year ((1,40,000 *7/100)/3). No matter what your priority date is, USCIS will not even get to your application for atleast a year and after that, the PD may not move forward for several years. At this rate you will not get a GC for several years !!!!!

"I will get EAD, so where is the problem? I can change jobs with EAD."

The problem is in your brain (opps) I meant perception. You may be able to change jobs on EAD, but you cannot get promoted to a job with a different job description. You cannot get a raise more than nominal raise (5%). Bottom-line, you cannot do anything where you will not be able to justify that you will perform job listed in I-140.

So, what should I do?

Lobby to change the laws. Participate in lawmaker awareness programs. Expresss support to people who are trying to get laws changed in your favour. Go to Washington, DC this Tuesday, Spt. 18th and express your support to IV. Meet your lawmaker and ask what he/she can do for you.

Thank You homers and desixp. Yes I also look forward seeing you at the event. We need to encourage our fellow chapter members who have not yet registered for the event.

Would either of you can help make some calls to our chapter members? Let me know.

Hi,

Have a question on EAD/H1b. I am joining a new company using AC21 and EAD. Lets say after few months if INS denies my GC application then will I be able to transfer my h1b. Basically I got the info that I can re-capture my unused period of H1b out of 6 years. Is that true ?

Thanks.

I don't know if the following information is applicable if the GC is denied.

Last year, my friend started working on an EAD (after his H-1B visa expired). Unfortunately, he did not get his renewal EAD in hand before the expiry of the current EAD, so the lawyer submitted a H-1B petition to use the unused portion (India vacations for him, but basically any time when you were outside the US) from his old H-1B so my friend could continue working. If I remember well, it was applied under Premium Processing, but I know for sure that it definitely came through. But so did his EAD card...on the day his current EAD expired.

Again, I want to reiterate that I don't know how the above scenario plays out if the GC is denied, so do check with a lawyer.

Hey vts, the box looks ok, but what's going on with that white smokey thing?

mine is march '07 and still waiting.................

You can find noraties always at the nearest "Mailboxes Etc".. in the town; they are pricey though at $ 10 per attestation, else you should check your legal department in your work place.

no answers for LC SUBs....... sorry...

I think I know what you mean, however, I'm not sure how to do it in Swift alone.
You could do the opposite of what you want (objects together at the beginning then splitting up) import the swf into flash, then select the 30 frames and choose the 'Reverse frames' option to get the desired effect.

I refer you again to our posting guidelines. Individual cases and advice are better discussed on other portals such as Immigration Portal.

Good luck with your problem,

To everyone who reads my post. I apologize for not being clear. The article says that they are talking about eliminating the per country caps and giving green cards to STEM graduates. In my haste and excitement I should have spelled this out. Now with that said I do not appreciate the snide remark from the previous poster. This is a forum for productive discussion, not for people to be condescending. So let us rejoice that maybe people are listening to us!

Can wife stay in India for more than 6 months while 485 is pending?

What she have now is an approved AP till 2009 december.

thanks

Please forgive me if these kind of posts are not allowed (Admins, feel free to remove this post if this is not the correct forum).

I am getting ready to apply for PIO for our new born (born in US) but one of my friend mentioned about applying for OCI instead.

The information on eligiblity for OCI in the NewYork consulate website is little confusing. My question is since me and my wife hold Indian passports, would my new born be eligible for OCI?

Also is there something called CIO (Not Chief Information Officer)?

Thanks.

How do i find out if a RFE has been issued on a case?
Does USCIS "check case status" mentions it? My lawyer is one heck of a person and i have to keep track of my case.

I saw the case status online and it says "Request for Additional Evidence Sent".

From your post it is not clear if your 140 is already approved or pending.

Anyhow, assuming it is approved and he cancels, then an RFE is bound to come, it is best to file for AC21 with new employer, since RFE could also involve EVL with recent paystubs................. now since in your case even your new job is with a consulting company (do not know how big it is), you might get stuck with RFE too.

I got hold of a copy of the actual RFE and when I read closely, the above statement sounded alarming. Since the labor was filed in 2003, I was wondering what relevance June 26, 2006 has.

Any help is appreciated.

While responding to RFE add this information. Ask them note that your priority date is August 2003 and you have two years of experience prior to that date.
