I was in Canada and came back to US last weekend using AP. I only had two documents. They asked for three but I told them that I only have two and that is all I got from USCIS.
They made me wait for 15 minutes and then stamped both AP documents and gave it back to me with an I 94 and entry date/stamp.

I believe you should have your Advance Parole document and not with the immigration.

If you are e-filing, answer to Q 15 is not mandatory, so I guess if in doubt it's safe to skip it.
Folks;

Would greatly appreciate your response for following quick inquires;

Q.#11 Dates ... is this the date I signed the I-765 application, or lawyer signed, or the date we mailed or the date USCIS recieved the application?:confused:

Q. #15 Current Immigration Status ... I researched on this forum and concur with those who say AOS.:)

Q.#16 Eligibility under 8 CFR 274a.12 ... Selected (c)(9)(). I filed during July-07 under EB2 category. Also this is what was mentioned on my original I-765 application that had been approved last year.:rolleyes:

roseball,
Thank you.

Hi,

I have a question regarding Priority Date Re-capture. When a new I-140 is filed requesting priority date re-capture from the old I-140, what happens to the old I-140. I hope the old I-140 is not cancelled. The reason I ask is, if the new I-140 runs into any issues, I don't want to lose the old I-140 as well. Thanks.

(I will appreciate if anyone could help me figure out how to create a new thread.)

Dear Friends,

I am a derived applicant in my green card process and recently I converted to EAD status from H1B.
My sister is US citizen. I would like to know if I am eligible to file another set of green card application thru family based option that is available. I know its a long queue.
I want to know if I am eligible for this process.
If I am eligible to file, am I eligible to file EAD thru that application as well.

Thanks

It's taking anywhere between 4 to 6 weeks on an average after the introduction of the new lockbox system. We received our receipts in 29 days, so I don't think you should panic yet :)

I think they don't have much to say. Look he even got an award from the Semiconductor Association of America for pushing Maths and Science in America. Not to mention the SKIL bill.

what are they saying

Pls. google USCIS pages for official info. You cannot stay for more than 6 months away from US each year every year. The situation might be different if its a US based company abroad.

I-94 determines your status in US and visa stamp is a merely used to enter into US .hence make sure your I-94 is stamped till the expiry date of new I-797 otherwise you would get into issues.

Here is the link to SA 1150, the real bill text debated.

http://immigrationvoice.org/media/forums/Immigration_Bill_Substitute.pdf

Acting Associate Director Donald Neufeld has issued revised guidance regarding the
I-90 Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card. The guidance is dated February 6, 2009.

Previously, if an I-90 applicant presented a national security concern or had a record of arrest or presented an �Egregious Public Safety� concern, then the USCIS adjudicator was instructed to immediately suspend adjudication of the 1-90 and refer the case to ICE.

The problem with that position, as pointed out in the Neufeld memo, is that an I-90 applicant who is a Lawful Permanent Resident LPR holds that status until he or she either abandons it themselves or has it revoked through rescission or removal proceedings. Therefore, until the LPR status is either abandoned or revoked, the applicant is entitled to evidence of his or her status.

Now, the Neufeld memo provides that all 1-90 applications will be adjudicated when all of the basic filing requirements and conditions have been met:

1. The applicant has established his or her identity; and

2. It has been established that the applicant is a lawful permanent resident.

Once those conditions have been met, the I-90 should be approved regardless of whether derogatory information comes up during the fingerprint and IBIS checks. If that happens, the I-90 should still be approved first and the derogatory information issue addressed second, presumable with a referral to ICE.

In the past, some applicants have been served with Requests for Evidence (RFE) asking for arrest records or court dispositions. Now any RFE that is issued must be limited to requesting supporting documentation related to establishing identity or status.

Dallas-Fort Worth Immigration Lawyer Has Just Posted the Following:
Effective January 4, 2010, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Center for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS/CDC) is removing HIV from the list of communicable diseases of public health significance and references to HIV from the scope of medical examinations for foreign nationals.

Until the rule goes into effect, non-citizens who are HIV-positive cannot be admitted into the U.S. unless the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) grants a waiver. Once the rule goes into effect on January 4, 2010, HIV infection will no longer be defined as a communicable disease of public health significance, immigrant visa applicants who are required to undergo a medical screening exam will no longer be tested for HIV, a waiver for entry into the U.S. will no longer be necessary, and HIV-positive visa applicants will not be found ineligible for visas under Section 212(a)(1)(A)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Although foreign nationals with HIV who apply for visas will no longer be ineligible under INA Section 212(a)(1)(A)(i), they still must overcome the public charge under INA Section 212(a)(4) by demonstrating to the consular officers that they will have the means of support in the U.S. and that they will not need to seek public financial assistance. Please visit CDC’s Web site (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dq/laws_regs/fed_reg/remove-hiv/final-rule-hiv.htm) for more information.

Have you guys seen the letters written by Compete America Board to US Senators and Congressmen. The points they talk about are very similar to the issues identified by us. You may browse the section when you have some time. The link is

Hi Folks.
Whats the cost of filing a motion to reopen the case 485 if wrongly rejected(either due to using AC21...). I mean lawyer fees + other fees.
I am sure there are folks here who went through this.

I currently have approved EAD, I-140 and waiting for a Visa number to become available. My receipt date for I-485 was July 2nd 2007 and my notice date was September 27th. My employer is closing the IT department in March. Though it has been 180 days since my receipt date, it's not 180 days since my notice date. Will my I-485 processing be impacted when a Visa number becomes available? Also, will it be Ok if I'm out of a job for a short time while I'm looking for my next job? I sincerely appreciate the help and guidance in this matter.
Thanks

No


will it be Ok if I'm out of a job for a short time while I'm looking for my next job?
.

If you are planning to use EAD no problem, but if you are planning to use AC21 with H1B then you need to maintain valid status as specified in your H1B. i.e., if you can mainting the salary specified in your offer letter and if that matches your W2 for the year, then you are ok.

These are my thoughts.

Good luck my friend and I am in process of doing my H1B using AC21

I just talked with my current employer, and they seems willing to sign letter as appropriate in respondin to RFE.
