I think lets not get diverted. We have to display prudence in our action
We have 2 question infront of us.
Q1) What we want?
A: We all know that..
Q2) How we can achive this.
A:By convicing lawmaker.
Lets get this things clear
US prsident DO NOT make any law he pass the law or vetos the law.
Economic report 2006 says that US Presidents understand our plight. So if the law passes in HR and Senate I dont see any reason why this will not be signed into law.
Involving Indian authority will may jepordise our cause.
Why?
Permanant Residentship is Privilage NOT Right
America is a soverign nation and many in Congress or Senate specially the Republicans may not like the influence of foreign Government in law making descision. Senators or HR who may sympathise our cause may turn away after India try to put her influence.
We are playing very DANGEROUS game here.
Involve India only if your rights are violated not if your privilage is stuck. I hate to use these words but looks like we are acting as kids rather than adults.
We are not dealing with any trivial issue we are dealing with Government of a country where we are known as "Aliens".

Considering that "Have you ever?" has caused several posts, it is clear that such a question about the Bible does make people think. Now, why do people so many react to a question like that? Do they feel guilt? Do they feel satisfaction with their life? Do they have some secret hatred against Catholic Priests ever since they were 7 years old? Do they feel annoyed at all these constant "do they" questions?
How is it that a question about the Bible raises so much feedback, whereas a question like "Have you ever climbed Mount Everest?" would have little or no affect.
Staying on topic, I thought the end was already clear until omnom jumped ahead. :)

when my lawyer applied my 2nd I-140, he clearly asked PD to be ported so I got the PD ported but since, I already applied I-485 a few days ago, so I could not include my new I-140 with that. Now, my attorney is going to request USCIS, to update my I-485 file with the new I-140.
I am not sure if this case has anything to do with PD needs to be current.

Yes you can do it. You could have done this last yr as well.
I am on H-1B and wife on H-4. We did not get our stimulus payment last year since she does not have SSN.
For people who did not receive stimulus payment last year can claim it this year. So for people like me whose wives are on ITIN, can get $600 back this year or so I think. The way to do this can be:
First file Married filing separately, claim $600 credit and then amend it to file married filing jointly. IRS will not ask stimulus back. Let me know your thoughts on this idea. I wish I could get $1200 but hey even $600 is better than nothing.
Any thoughts??

You should read that RonGothers thread - he is strongly of the opinion that maintaining H1B status while AOS is pending is useless
Its not useless if you are in a ROW country/category that is always/usually current since your I-485 can be approved in a short period of time, without having to extend H-1. So you can save yourself the hassle of switching back and forth between H-1 and EAD.
It only becomes pointless when you are in a backlogged country like most of us are. By the time a decision is made on the I-485 you wouldve already extended your H-1 beyond 6 years, thus making it dependant on that EB petition.

I know a person who applied TIN number for their parents as they stayed in US for more than 180 days(that is technically possible as some months have 31 days, so if you correctly plan your paretns trip, people on visitor visa will be allowed to stay for 6 month or 183 days) . Also ff you talk to your immigration officer at the port of entry and convince him that an extra three days would be helpful for parents, he might give you 183 days visa.
You need to prove the substantial presence of parents in US.They have a formula to calculate that (total number of days present in current year + 1/2 of number of days in previous year + 1/3 of the a year before previous year) and it that total is greater than 180 days + some other technicalities(which are easy to prove), you can file for TIN number and file taxes showing them as dependents.

I somhow feel that Name Check problem has not been taken care of within its entirety. I agree with one thing that NC will be "improved" but has not been and will never be streamlined the way actually it should be.
Reference:
http://blogs.ilw.com/gregsiskind/fil...Procedures.pdf
I may be wrong but my doubts are as under:
------------------------------------------
(1)180 days period is from the "Date of FBI Name Check initiation. It is not
from 485 receipt date. Nobody knows when USCIS will initiate FBI Name
Check. So I see a big playground for USCIS to play if it decides to play.
What if uSCIS sends FBI name check initiation after 2 years of 485 receipt?
Do we have a way to know or keep an eye on USCIS about this? At least I
do not know and if somebody has the information please share it.
(2) "If 485 Otherwise is processable" then USCIS can go ahead without
waiting for NC check... What if USCIS decides to keep 100000 cases on
rack eating dust just by not moving the processing date for particular
service center? This you can see right now.. USCIS is making Texas slow
day by day not moving processing date. I remember Texas was ahead
with comparison to Nebraska around May to August 2007. If this happens your case is no more "processable".. Yes you can say that you are not stuck in NC queue but you will be stuck. USCIS may come up with altogether different startegy... To align processing times with FBI processing and FBI NC initiation. That may screw the things further.
Expert or differed opinions please?

Who r u to ask him to get lost??? Just becoz u have so many greens dozn't mean that u can rule the roost. Therez something called as freedom of speech and hez just using it. Its a free forum and u cant dictate terms here while u r a member here urself. Accept the truth and live with it. Whyz that some desis get so offended when someone rightly points out the dirty behavior of desi employers? He has a point and u need to respect that. And yes this is immigration related and causes awareness among the legal immigrant community. If that dozn't get into ur thick skull then God knows what doz. Maybe visa bulletin monitoring and RFEs and PDs???
Go on give me reds now...
Thank you.
I really see useless threads a ton here, some of them are opened by these guys. They might be helping this organization by donating some money , that does not mean they can dictate terms. I will say these guys motives will not help any one.

Got the approval notice today :) "Welcome to the United States of America" - ironically i have been in this country for a decade now! finally the "welcome" :)
It has been a very long journey!!! and a very frustrating one for the last few years... but the feeling that I now get is really liberating... first thing I did was thanked God for ending the seemingly endless wait that me and my wife (she didn't care as much) were in.
I'm already thinking of the things I want to do after this new found liberation... it includes showing the middle finger to those who have taken undue advantage of my status :cool: :D and i'm not taking it anymore... I'll be a new person starting Monday!
Just so there is no confusion... my PD was Feb 2003 EB3 but my wife's PD was EB2 April 2004... we got our freedom through her application. If anyone needs more info on how/what/when - i can share that (it had its up's and downs - mainly downs, but all's well that ends well)!
Lastly as a token of my real support to the cause of IV I will be donating a small amount. I have donated in the past... I have participated in conversations in the past... I was not so active on other fronts but I truly believe in this organizations effort to help the community. And God willing each one of you will get this freedom soon! God Bless!
Congrats.

Here is what I heard from my lawyer..
If you've your I-797 approved till say April'2008 and while entering USA if a new I-94 is issued with an earliear date say dec 2007. Then automatically your I-797 expires on dec 2007 (basically the date on the I-94) because I-94 has higher precedence than the dare on I-797 and the date on the visa stamp in your passport. You've to apply for new I-797 and get an approval before the expiry date of your I-94 to maintain status, if you want to continue on h1-b.
Going on EAD is an other option, if you have it....so please check with your lawyer immediately.

I am in a similar position and am going to wait till the end of the year for the AP. I am hoping to be able to go for the H1B stamping with the AP. So if there is any problem with the H1 I can atleast re-enter using the AP. Its a nice backup...
What if your AP does not come until July next year ? Are you planning to wait until then to travel ?

If someone has EB2 application, and EB2 is unavailable, but their EB2 PD is current with respect to EB3 visa bulletin date, will USCIS allow an EB2 to take an EB3 slot?
If not I wonder whether you can "down grade" by interfiling a new I140.

I did not understand the "time of filing I-485 (that means that visa is immediately available) minus time that I-140 was pending with USCIS" part.
My situation is as follows - My I-140 is approved and judging by the current situation my child will be above 21years (currently on H4) when visa becomes available.
My questions are - Will I be able to extend my child's H4 beyond his 21 years, assuming I continue on H1? And will I be able to adjust my child's status when visa becomes available?
ThanksShort answer No. Long answer: it depends on when you will apply for 485. For example: you filed I-140 on Jan 1-st 2006, it was approved on Jan 1-st 2007, so it was pending for 365 days. You are applying for 485 when you child is 21 years and 364 days old - he is covered by CPA (Child protection act) and can file 485 as your dependent. One day later - he is not covered and could not file 485.
Hope it helps.

thanks, it sure clarifies things.. and from what I read, these applications work in parallel. RFE on one application has no efffect on the other one. you just have to wait for one of them to come through, mostly probably EB1A. once you get approved on EB1A, they will cancel the remaining 2 applications. Good luck..
Yes, that's what my understanding is as well.
Thanks and good luck to you too.

Hey Everyone,
My brother is a US citizen who has filed an I-130 for me and my family in May, 2008. We've traveled to the US on B1/B2 visas in February, 2009. The thing about it is that in the DS-156 form point "36. Has Anyone Ever Filed an Immigrant Visa Petition on Your Behalf?" we've answered "No". I've had no idea at that time that it was referring to the petition for alien relative. Anyways, we've returned back home in time. Also, I've had 3 visas before (2 tourist and 1 student) and never violated any immigration laws.
Then in December, 2009 we've applied for F-1 visa and got denied. This time it was a DS-160 form that we filled out which replaced the old DS-156 form. It didn't have that question about the petition anymore. I think they've decided to exclude it because a lot of people were confused by it. Anyways, the consulate officer didn't like the fact that I haven't transferred my credits from 2 courses of University that I've completed in my home country. Plus my major differed from my previous education course.
So my question is. Is it ok to apply for F-1 visa while I-130 is pending? I mean we've been issued B1/B2 visas before. Even though we've answered "No" to that question, they saw that I had a brother in the US who is a US citizen. I'm thinking of transferring my credits and using same major course this time or at least similar. This way in the eyes of the consulate officer it will look as I am going to the US to finish my education. The thing is, I am planning to attend community college first in order to finish general courses and then transfer to the university. My major in my home university was physics and this community college doesn't have it. I may go with "general education" course at the community college and explain to the consulate officer my situation.
Is it even legal to apply for F-1 visa while I-130 is pending? I believe so. My another question is. Once I finish education. What's the next step would be? Will it be easy to transfer from F-1 to H1B visa while I-130 is pending? What about my wife and a baby who will be on F-2 status? Please share your thoughts. Thank you!
