I strongly support filing I-485 without the priority date restriction.

I am not sure what is best on the long term basis. Where can INS decrease the processsing time with the existing format. What type of techniques or methods can change the existing GC processing format so the time required for a petetion to go through decreases significantly?

Ya thats true but these people must return these GC's as they were processe by mistake, anyday they figure it out these guys will be out of US ....

There may be other avenues to get AP for a longer period. EAD nothing to do with your 485 processing. Without EAD you can get AP if 485 is pending.

Please consult your attorney.

Hello,
My wife and I have a pending AOS, and have our EADs.
My priority date for EB-2 is September 2004.

I plan to go back to school in Spain - starting November 2009. The program ends in December 2010. However, my EAD expires October 2010.

Is there anything I can do to keep my GC processing on track? Can I renew my EAD while I'm in Spain?

Thank you,
Sidd.

People applying for tourist visas for the United States in Qatar have greater chance of accessing them than in any other GCC country. Figures released by the US Administration suggest that only 3.2 percent requests for US tourist visas made to the US embassy in Doha were turned down in the FY 2010.

A US government website citing tourist visa (B-Visas) refusal details country-wise said the data were preliminary through September 30, 2010. As for Qatar, the data show this was the lowest percentage of tourist visa refusal in the entire GCC region. The next Gulf state with a lower percentage of rejection was Kuwait (3.6 percent). Bahrain ranked third with a 4.1 percent rejection rate while the percentage for the largest GCC state Saudi Arabia was six.

As for Oman and the UAE, the percentages were higher-8.7 and 9.7, respectively. The GCC states ranked much above their peers in the Arab world like Egypt, Yemen, Sudan and even Iraq. The rate of B-visa rejection in these countries was more than 30 percent.

Somalia topped the list with a rejection rate of almost 70 percent followed by Djibouti (60.2 percent), Yemen (54.3 percent), Mauritania (49.7 percent) and Iraq (42.2 percent). It is interesting to note that the next Arab country after the GCC states with lower refusal percentage was Libya (14.3 percent). Morocco with a refusal rate of 15.5 percent and Tunisia with 15.6 percent rejection ranked next.

Among non-Arab Asian countries, China with a 13.3 percent rejection rate and India with double that percentage fared better than Pakistan (41.6 percent) and the Philippines (38 percent). Sri Lanka (28.6 percent) and Bangladesh (36.4 percent) were much better off as compared to Pakistan and the Philippines. US embassy officials were not immediately available for comment but it is understood that after Qatar Airways introduced flights to major US cities beginning June 2007, tourist visa requests from Qatari nationals as well as expatriates here have multiplied.

The victim was an immigrant like us and became a naturalized citizen here.
No one knows the motive behind the attack, it is still being investigated.
It was posted here to caution the immigrants of these attacks (just like in Australia).

Thank you, I looked through the blog but it didnt have any posts that could answer my queries. I am just trying to find out if it is ok to travel if I have a pending case with USCIS? Also, if my H4 goes out of status on 09/23/2010, then does that mean I have immediately leave the country? Any answers would help, thanks.

She was detained for five hours but not strip searched. Understandably she was upset by it."


Wow. She was upset because she was not strip searched? :D

Yes, that is the correct address. Good luck...

I think it is apparent that people on this forum are frustrated with media representation and lack of understanding of the problems that our group, and those that we represent, face.

Without wishing to get into general political debates, it is probably a fair assumption that American citizens who are actively part of grassroots activism would be concerned about our situation if they knew about it.

There is a voice in numbers, and I believe it might be a good idea to reach out to organizations such as www.indymedia.com (http://www.indymedia.org/en/index.shtml). This is a main hub, there are various regional versions of the organization.

Just another thought on how to publicize our issues.

I dont think so since someone is doing premium processing, the chances of getting RFE are more. Rather i read in other posts that we should go for Premium processing as it is faster and we come to know the result of the case quickly rather that awaiting for weeks/months.
