Since you asked what I am exactly doing here:
I am not here to discuss illegal immigration. I am here to discuss how we can put acceptable proposals out there so we can all get out of this mess, or at least get out of here a little faster !
Folks, allow me to tell you that we cannot succeed in this fight if our strategy remains wrong. By no means we shall find ourselves supporting what is against public opinion in our host country, which is now America. You guys from time to time, now what is called senior members from IV, pst phrases which may be PERCEIVED as an attempt to disguise the status of illegal aliens movement. Undocumented immigration simply doesn't exist. There are numerous ways one can find oneself without documents. I outlined an example before. "Immigrant" is not the correct designation if you never immigrated here. Start by showing our alignment with this country by using the correct term. We may be better accepted that way. By the way, wake up, is in major part thanks to the illegal aliens that many of us are stuck.
Tomorrow you can go to India as an immigrant. The day that you find yourself pushing for more immigration than Indians want, it is the day you will not be welcome in that lovely country anymore. Italy is a sweet country, but people are fed up with immigration there. How about France ? America is next. The lack of sympathy for immigration is in the air. Which are our chances to fight against it just because we conceal our proposals ? Minimal.
Sure. Do you want another one ?

What will be my status after i file my I485?
My current I-94 will expire on 16th Sep 2007 (on the day my current visa stamp in my passport expires and my current H1 B is set to expire Mid April 2008).
I am planning to make a trip to Cannda or someplace to get a new I-94 as soon as i get my new passport (i had sent it for renewal on june 2nd). But i am a little worried about my status if i am unable to make the trip.
So my question is what will be my status after 16th sep 2007 (once i file for I485 (first week of July2007) and my I-94 expires on 16th Sep 2007)?
Appreciate any responses ...
Your question is not clear but when you say I-94 I assume you mean the I-94 that you got the last time you entered the country, right? The expiration date on that has nothing to do with your status as long you have an approved I-797 for your H1B extension till April 2008. You are in status till that time.
But you do need an unexpired Visa stamp on your passport if you leave the country and want to come back to the US.
So the way I see it, even after filing 485 you will continue to be in status till April 2008 and then I am sure you will extend that for another term if your I-485 is still pending.
As for going to Canada to get a new I-94, it may not work because they do not make you surrender your old I-94 when you go to Canada and so therefore do not issue a new I94 when you return after a short trip to Canada.

I am also in similar situation although no RFE yet. I have submitted a non-availability of birth certificate letter and affadivit of parents. I have the following questions
(1) Do we get the letter from the muncipal office from the place of birth or we can get from the muncipal office that we are presently residing. (birth was in UP , residing in TN) I believe the non-availibility certificate has to be from the jurisdiction of the birth and not current residence
(2)What is the letter for , is it for birth certificate or for non availability of birth certificate. If you were born before a certain year (not sure about the exact year) there is a great chance that your birth was not registered. That is why you have to ask the local authority to search the records and give you a letter saying that such and such person's birth was not registered and no records exist
(3) Is there any body who has gotten a letter post a copy. (after removing personal details.)
Hope this helps. Again most of what I mentioned is information gathered from such postings here and there.

that is a good guess - I hope it is correct.
However, whether the fees are being used for overtime or for more people working on a case, that means USCIS is understaffed and needs to hire more people. In that case, isn't it logical that they would increase fees across the board for all applications, not just PP? i.e. fee hikes would be for new applications to pay for the extra resources, and existing applications should be processed under a flat fee for all cases.
If they are claiming that those who pay extra fees are entitled to faster processing, ahead of the line, then that, my friend, is a bribe, whatever official term is used. Because otherwise if they were understaffed, which it appears they are, they would simply raise fees for all applications.
I can understand a corporation doing this, like getting your tax refunds processed faster through a company if you pay more, but imagine if IRS suggested they would process faster for an extra fee.
They cannot raise fees without providing extra service. USCIS does raise fees once in while though. But the PP fees bring in a very large amount of revenue in comparison to small increases in regular fees.
Also, for better service, people often pay more. I invariably pay more in an airplane to be in the first class. Not sure why USCIS cannot use that logic to make some more money. I don't think it is comparable to a bribe. But, I guess we will agree to disagree here.

Degree may be from anywhere in world as long as the institute is accredited by local accredeting body. I checked U21 and really could not understand its legal status. It looks like a group of universities under one umbrella body. As long as you have a degree from a accredited university, you are fine.
Once again, you will need a Masters degree , a diploma will mostly not work (but check with attorney)

My experience was just great. My company had inhouse immigration deptt and their own attorney as employees.. She was just great and very transparent on every process. She sent all the documents and updated my at every step on where I stand.
I really respect that lady, who was doing way beyond her job profile to keep us updated and well informed. never paid anything for the attorney service or GC filing except a one time fee of $500 when the company hired some attorneys on contract to get over the overwhelming request during July fiasco. The attorney also adviced me and guided me on how to leave the company and what is AC-21 and how to do that. So gave me a lot of pointers on how to choose a new attorney. Though I had a lot of conflict of interest with my company policy and management, one thing I always appreciated about it was that their healthcare and immigration was far better than any company in US. Now I heard its not great and employees have issues related to this. I paid on $15 for the delivery of the baby and that was the total amount I paid in 9 months .. thats it.
The crux of the story is , when choosing a company , initially these things really dun matter but in the long run these are things that really matters, I would suggest everyone who is switching the companies, make sure the company has the right healthcare plan and immigration services. Do not hesitate to discuss this with the HR. I always do and make it clear, whenever I am questioned by HR , I just tell them , "The company has selected me but I haven't selected the company yet." The HR also has the pressure to close the position they will provide you with all the different options. Do not always run for the $$$ a few 1000 $$$ doesn't make the difference as at the end of the day those also shrink with tax and deductions, but the perks like these stay and pay more than $$$

I would say Canada because British Columbia has a much higher standard of living than Boston. Canada is generally a much better place for raising kids and the stress levels are lower because of freebies like health care etc. BC also has a much better weather compared to Boston.
The other reason is that you could always come to the USA from Canada later but if you lose the Canadian PR now and don't manage to get a green card in the US, you lose everything.
Thanks for the reply isedkeem, and best wishes for your GC journey.
Just throwing some thoughts out: I've seen many rant about the dismal employment situation, unaffordable housing, and high taxes in Canada compared to the United States. Can anyone share their thoughts or experiences on this?

I started the US immigration in 2006, PD-September 2006, by CP, EB3ROW. DS230 renewed 3 times since then... a couple of months ago I applied to Canadian PR, now I am waiting for my interview date. So I have two processes parallel - US GC & Canadian PR. My question is : How these two immigrations can jeopardise each other? :confused:
Logicaly I will attend the Canadian interview first, will they ask me about US immigration? should I tell the truth? Will they deny the PR because of the GC process?
Presume that I have successfuly done with canadians and have landed in Canada with my PR in 8-10 months from now, and suddenly, I,ve got an invitation to the GC interview... :eek: Does the fact that I have a Can. PR will kill my future GC and at the interview the will deny and cancell my case? :confused: Or The interview will be successful and I will have my GC, but somewere in the future there is a point where I should refuse one - GC or PR? :confused:
I should mention that the GC is the choise No1 , and PR is a plan "B"...
I believe that my situation is not unique, but now I am out side the US and in my country it is difficult to find a competent lawer. So I hope that somebody from this forum could answer my questions.
Appreciate all useful answers and ancillary information. :):)

Please donate that extra money meant for leisure to IV instead going to Bahama this year. You may help yourself doing this and that humble act may get your GC quick and thus enable you to enjoy cruises to Bahama every year without worrying about Visa validity and time lines.

sam_hoosier,
You are correct to the 'could' part.
Let me begin my explanation by stating my position on debt default:It is bad, it' NOT worth it and don't ever do it. With the explanation that I will be providing below, I don't want to sound like I'm encouraging debt defaulting, which I'm absolutely NOT. There are severe consequences for your credit, if you default a debt.
So, with that accusation out of my way :), let me explain the logic behind why I think OP is ok. Only thing that is in OP's favor is statutory time-limits, he had dodged the debt bullet for 5 years,afaik, creditors including the collection agencies lose their right to take him to court for a debt older than 5 years from the first date of default. Unless, OP makes some kind of partial payment now, which will bring the debt to current. At this point it will be a mistake for OP to do that. Collection agencies force him to do that mistake with all kinds of scary tactics -- He got to have a thick skin to settle the debt with whatever he can afford once for all.
Secondly, collection agencies buy debt in bulk, like 1000 defaults at a time. Collection agencies go through a rigorous screening processes, including threatening phone calls, attorney-letter-head notifications etc, for each debt, even before they can take it to court. When they could not talk to him or trace him or find any utility bills of him for 5 years, they would just consider him as MIA. Unless this guy is a rich dude with Hummers parked outside his mansion all the time Or has couple of rental properties on his name, they will not risk further investment on this particular debt.
Like always, my 2 cents.
I stand by my suggestion that OP must seek help from a Govt or a not-for-profit Debt Help or the best thing is to seek Attorney's help if you can afford. Don't go to the collection agency or to any of your debtors first.
Best!
Your comment is factually incorrect.
The creditor (or collection agency) can take you to court. If you don’t show up,the judge rules in favor of the creditor and against you. However, this judgment is just an acknowledgement that you owe the money.
In order to collect another court date must be assigned to perform a ‘writ of execution’. If they summon you for this, and you don’t appear, they may issue a bench warrant for your arrest.
If the amount is small enough, the creditor may just write it off (with impact to your credit history). But if its big enough they could go down the legal route.

corba, what area are you working in? Do you know if this is a Technology Alert List (TAL) check?
I went to Chennai US consulate for my 7th year H1B visa stamping. Without verifying any of my docs which took it with me, VO just issued 221g green slip and asking all petitioner's docs....
Here is more detail about my case.
1. I am working for a small company < 50 employees as a full time employee, since 2005.
2. I am the only one H1B in my company ...
3. My company was acquired by our competitor and name got changed ...
Here are my concerns
1. If they have any concern / doubt about me / petitioner, Why dont they clear it before approving I-129? Now DOS is sending back all the 221g cases to USCIS only for further verfication. So does it mean USCIS is not doing enough verification before approving I-129?
2. Can IV team / Experts help to rectify this too much of back and forth b/w USCIS and DOS?
3. If my visa is rejected, How do I vacate my apt, selling my car?
4. What will happen to my son's school? i.e. How do I transfer or continue his education in India...
5. I would suggest all the H1b people to think twice before going for visa stamping in India.
If anybody in similar situation, Please share your exp here ...
