My I485 is pending, recently I have changed my address online. I also recieved confirmation letters for this address change.
After 2 weeks of address change, USCIS issued an RFE. I have not yet received it, but I just want to prepare for this.
What could be the reason for this RFE? Is it common?
seriously dude..whats urgent about this? why do people create new threads with words like urgent, please help, etc etc, when the matter is not even urgent. This is a public forum, if its really urgent case, i have seen lots of people including myself, pitching in and giving their advices. And also, if it is really an urgent issue that you can't wait for responses, you need to be talking to the lawyer.
now coming to your case, i have no reason to believe that your case / question is urgent. You changed address and you got an RFE. you can respond to RFE as long as you are in the same/ simlar job description or whatever the RFE is for. You do not even have the actual RFE with u yet. Tell me whats the urgency about this. Infact if you just follow my posts, i have also posted to a thread that deals with responses to RFE's. I am wondering whats the need to open a new thread with URGENT as the thread name.
I hate to tell this, due to posts and threads like this, people who really require help with some urgent issues, their posts gets ignored. Please understand that this is a public forum and understand that I am just using your thread to send this message to everyone who does this. Nothing personal against you. Hoping you will understand..
Thanks.

I guess when it comes to GC processing, NOTHING is really "wrong" is it? If you get a chance to work around and beat the long lines, I guess "It's all good". Some people are lucky that they get a chance to get Labor Sub, some ppl marry the GC and some ppl like the rest of us wait in line like "honest citizens".
The REAL question is, just how many of us would have refused a good labour sub, given the present conditions, solely on the basis that "it is unfair to others"? I know i would have taken it. Reason? It's LEGAL (or used to be). Our "misfortune" (if i can use that word), is that we did not get a similar chance.
For those wondering, what I am babbling about: "Let's not look down on this guy who got his GC approved by Labour Sub, or even continuously point out that he did."
Fellas, I exactly understand your pain you feel when you see a person like me with Labor Substutute ending GC journey in 3 years.
I know my words are not going to change your opinion or make your pain feel less but be rest assured that i had gone thro same agony and distress as you during this immigration process for past 10 years. I entered USA as F1 in Aug/1997. I had been legally working (ResearchAssistant/OPT/H1) eversince. Before that I had 3 years of experiance in top indian company as an engineeer. Many of my Batch mates have received their GCs 4-5 years ago. So logically i should have got my GC then since i had alredy busted by B*** enough so that USA economy gets benefitted.
I coulnnt get GC because i was late in applying. Are you going to now say that simply because i was late in applying to GC, my efforts put in job for my employer are worthless to get an immigrant benefit?
I put the same point to my employer who rightfully agrreed with it and helped me with a labour substitute. I am sure if you had a valid case , a genuine USAbased employer would have done the same to you.
Anyways, I belive all of those who had applied GC after July VB will get their cards within next 6 months due to economics of situation. USA is on the verge of reccession right now lead by crappy housing market. The USA government does understand that EB based immigrants do have a (lot of) money and if they pump that money in USA economy , the recession could be avoided/be less severe. Also Conservative Bush administration people ( lIke Attorney General Alberto Gonzales) are resigning and are being replaced by less fanatic administrators. So (artificial) crapy things like Namecheck can not be cooked anymore. This will result in many many apporvals. Trust me no one can ask feds if thay give millions of GCs to legal immigrants (Off course the converse is not true- yaa the VB scenario) so expect your approval soon.
Thanks you, Wish you all hte best and Good Bye.
BTW , i have also contributed $100 to IV so far.

Hello All ,
My application for i485 , i765 and i131 was recvd in Lincoln,Nebraska on July 23 , 2007. (Sent by my company's attorney on July 21) . I have been waiting for over 2 months for any updates or receipt notice but nothing so far . After reading some forums in this website , i called USCIS (number from USCIS website) and got my case escalated to an officer who asked my last name ,first name , date of birth and coutry of birth . He gave me all the three receipt numbers for AOS , AP and EAD . All the receipts numbers are starting with WAC meaning the cases were xferred from Nebraska to California Service Center . When i looked at online status of i485 case , it says the case is xferred to Nebraska since it is in their jurisdiction . The other two cases for EAD and AP are pending . I still have not recvd any receipt notices from my attorney . So , i guess everyone who is waiting for their receipt notices might want to call USCIS and get their numbers .

I have seen a similar thing with our other campaign - "File 485 before PD is current". There are some forums spreading negative information about IV and this might be the reason.
Of course theoretically it is possible to have them participate in these without creating an ID (which is free). We have to verify in some way to avoid antis, maybe ID or bill or some other way.
We don't want to go to USCIS with 100s of members from numbersUSA or fishing site users.
That is the ONLY bloody way you can assure yourself of a CLEAN organisation..i do not know what it will take for IV 'CORE" to understand this.
Paying, vetted members ONLY!!

What a crack-head - I didn't know H1Bs were 5-year visas - I guess I've overstayed my welcome...
And to say that everyone stays here is ludicrous - Half the people that started with me on my project have gone back to India for better positions with better pay and the rest have gone on to green cards and some even citizenship. He thinks that everyone stays here after 5 years (???) and then works illegally - like that's possible - idiot!
He thinks a company hiring skilled workers like computer analysts is going to let you stay on past 6 years if you haven’t filed for your green card and jeopardize their reputation and legal standings? They would just hire new H1B workers and kick you to the curb – at which point you would have to work under the table flipping burgers – but I guess the ignorant freak thinks that’s better than going back home and getting a project managerial position, because all other Countries are third world and live in mud huts?

Following info may useful who are looking for SSN on H4
Below is part of a message I posted in another discussion, but this deserves it own discussion. If you are a legal resident of the US, such as an H4, even if you are a child, and you have an ITIN, you can get a Social Security Number, because that is the only way to get the Economic Stimulus Payment.
Be forewarned that the SSA will put up road blocks. You will likely be denied your first application. However, the law is clear and there is no cost to apply. You also have a right to appeal. A cover letter explaining why you have a RIGHT to a Social Security Number will help support your case. Your letter should refer to the laws and statutes cited below.
The only way to get the stimulus payment is to obtain a Social Security Number for "non-work" purposes. The SSA may issue an SSN to an alien under the following provision:
20 C.F.R. � 422.104(a)(3)
(i) You need a social security number to satisfy a Federal statute or regulation that requires you to have a social security number in order to receive a Federally-funded benefit to which you have otherwise established entitlement and you reside either in or outside the U.S.;
http://www.socialsecurity.gov/OP_Home/cfr20/422/422-0104.htm
The Social Security Administration is required by federal law to issue Social Security Numbers to legal aliens who require them to receive federally funded benefits under Section 205(c)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Social Security Act, which states that the Social Security Administration is required to assign an SSN to "any individual who is an applicant for or recipient of a benefit funded in whole or in part with Federal funds."
Here are some documents from official Senate and House websites (senate.gov, house.gov), which refer to the stimulus payment as a benefit. Print these out and attach them to your application.
Lawmakers
Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House
"Residents of the U.S. territories will also receive the benefit."
Johnny Isakson, United States Senator from Georgia
The benefit would phase out for single people earning more than $75,000 a year and married couples earning more than $150,000.
Johnson (GA04) | Press Release | Rep. Johnson Votes to Stimulate Economy
Americans who earned at least $3,000 in 2007 will receive the benefit, including Social Security recipients and 250,000 disabled veterans. Higher income taxpayers are not eligible and the relief phases out above incomes of $75,000 for a single earner and $150,000 for married couples.
Senator Robert Menendez | Newsroom
"Today's event is a chance to spread the word so that everyone is aware of the steps they need to take to receive this benefit."
News | Senator Pete V. Domenici
This benefit would help an estimated 20 million seniors and 250,000 disabled veterans.
EconomicStimulus2008
The 2008 tax instructions will include a worksheet to help those who did not qualify for a payment or those who received a reduced amount determine if they can obtain a benefit when they file their 2008 tax returns next year.
Senate Finance Committee
020808 Econ Stim Staff Summary.pdf (application/pdf Object)
The amount of the credit is phased out at a rate of 5% of adjusted gross income beginning at $75,000 ($150,000 in the case of joint returns). Residents of the U.S. possessions will also receive the benefit�
The law also clearly states that qualified recipients of this benefit must have social security numbers to receive these funds. No other identification number is considered permissible. SEC. 6428 (h) (2) "Identification Number Requirement" states, "For purposes of paragraph (1), the term `valid identification number' means a social security number issued to an individual by the Social Security Administration. Such term shall not include a TIN issued by the Internal Revenue Service."
According to SSA document 20 CFR Part 422 [Reg. No. 22] RIN 0960-AF05 Evidence Requirements for Assignment of Social Security Numbers (SSNs); Assignment of SSNs for Nonwork Purposes, a "valid non-work purpose" results when the "law requires an alien who is legally in the U.S. to have an SSN in order to receive general public assistance benefits (i.e., a public benefit that is means-tested) to which the alien has established Entitlement."
The means-testing provision of H.R. 5140, the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 is stated in SEC. 6428 (d) Limitation Based on Adjusted Gross Income.
The federal government has also defined H.R. 5140 as a form of financial relief to persons who fall within certain income categories. According to a Whitehouse publication explaining the means-testing provision of H.R. 5140, "This relief would be available to everyone with adjusted gross income less than $75,000 for singles and $150,000 for married couples filing jointly. It will be phased out for taxpayers above those income thresholds. Taxpayers may qualify by filing a tax return for 2007 and including a valid Social Security number on their tax return." [Fact Sheet: Bipartisan Growth Package Will Help Protect Our Nation's Economic Health, Office of the Press Secretary, February 13, 2008, whitehouse.gov].
Lawmakers included the identification requirements to HR.5140 under the belief that all legal residents of the United States will hold Social Security numbers. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the Commissioner of Social Security to "take affirmative measures to assure that social security account numbers will, to the maximum extent practicable, be assigned to all members of appropriate groups or categories of individuals by assigning such numbers" [Section 205(c)(2)(B)(i)] and that all qualified individuals receive "financial relief" under H.R. 5140 according to the stated will and intention of the United States Congress and Senate (as described in the links above).

Babu, thanks for confirming that this stupid rule is in fact true. I always wonder how USCIS gets crafty in making new rules.
It will be easier to just get the stamping done in INDIA. That way, will get stamp till 2010.
Looking at reply from Babu. I think Babu. got I-94 corrected through Amended H1 (INS) . and then travelled to INDIA. While returning from INDIA
by the last updated rule He would have retuned with a valid I-94.

I know there will be many people who are working on their employer's payroll but keeping maximum share of their rate.
I have my EAD and i want to switch my current company and move to a new
one as my current company is keeping around 20% share.
I am thinking of the following options:
1st option) I have my Canadian PR and thinking of an option to join the current vendor directly. Incase my 485 is rejected, then i can move to Canada.
In this case, i do not know how to run the paycheck and other related stuff to stay out of trouble for my current 485 processing.
2nd Option) I can find an employer who will just keep around 5/hr from my share and keep me on their payroll. I can also keep myself on my H1b by having my H1 transfer done. I will take care of running the payroll from a third party.
In this option i dont have to worry much as company will show me on its payroll and my H1b will be valid.
I would appreciate response from people on this forum. I know someone might be doing it right now.
Please suggest pros/cons of the above options.

What IO told is correct. Untill the case 140 is not approved, EB information is not updated and IOs at the infopass has limited access.
If the 140 is approved, IOs at infopass can see this, otherwise they cant.
I was also under the same impression that IO at Infopass is able to see whether my case is in EB2 or EB3. She told me that she cannot see even though both of my I-140s are approved and interfiled(hoping success).

I just read in Murthy.com that if a H1B is terminated and the same company wants him back they have to pay the entire salary for the period he was out of job. (google H1B employers obligations) So i think that won't be your case. You should be on EAD.
When you are on EAD they need not inform USCIS. There is no need for you to join your old company back.

I wrote about our retrogression problem to our senator Barack Obama three months ago and I got reply from him today.I couldn't find the answer to my question.Can you help? Here is his response:
Thank you for writing me regarding immigration policy. I have heard from constituents on both sides of this issue, all making passionate arguments. This is unquestionably a complicated policy challenge with far reaching ramifications across society.
After much study and discussion, I have concluded that the best course is to pass comprehensive reform that reaffirms the rule of law and brings the undocumented population out of hiding through an earned path to citizenship. In my view, the approach presented by the immigration bill passed last year by the Senate lays the foundation for such a permanent solution.
To address the immigration problems in our country, that bill put forth a three-pronged response: 1) it strengthens border security; 2) it establishes a path to citizenship that included fines, a requirement to learn English, and adherence to the rule of law for immigrants and their families who may have entered the United States illegally but are now contributing and responsible members of society; and 3) it creates a "guest worker" program whereby American businesses can temporarily recruit foreign workers for jobs that American workers cannot or refuse to fill. This proposal passed the Senate by a 62 to 36 bipartisan vote, but a joint House/Senate conference committee appointed to reconcile the differences between this bill and a separate version passed by the House of Representatives (H.R. 4437) was unable to complete its negotiations before Congress adjourned.
Like our nation's religious and civil rights communities, I opposed enforcement-only approaches like H.R. 4437. That House bill is also opposed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the AFL-CIO, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and over 200 other faith-based, business, labor, religious, local governments, civil rights, and ethnic groups. The common denominator of this opposition is that the bill would have had a profoundly negative impact on workers, on businesses, on families, and on local communities without making the country safer or fixing any part of the broken immigration system.
The President and Congress should look at immigration reform in a comprehensive manner to guarantee both that enforcement and border security are enhanced and that all workers, including immigrant and “guest” workers, are treated fairly and are afforded basic labor protections. This approach will curtail the flow of illegal immigrants into the country, reward work and unite families. I look forward to continuing to work with President Bush, my colleagues in Congress, and the people of Illinois on this important challenge.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Please stay in touch on this or any other issue of concern.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama
United States Senator
Thank you for writing me regarding immigration policy. I have heard from constituents on both sides of this issue, all making passionate arguments. This is unquestionably a complicated policy challenge with far reaching ramifications across society.
After much study and discussion, I have concluded that the best course is to pass comprehensive reform that reaffirms the rule of law and brings the undocumented population out of hiding through an earned path to citizenship. In my view, the approach presented by the immigration bill passed last year by the Senate lays the foundation for such a permanent solution.

First of all let me congratulate and thank IV for working tirelessly to bring about this huge benefit for most folks stuck in the green card mess. I have always believed in IV and its power to move mountains. However, in the midst of all this rejoicing, let's not forget a certain class of IV members who will not be able to take advantage of this recent benefit for all practical purposes. I am talking about the folks who are currently single and will not be able to file for their (future) spouse before Aug 17. It seems to me that the best thing that IV can do to bring relief to these folks is to lobby for and effect legislation to exclude dependents from the visa cap, i.e let dependents (or at least spouse) to file for I-485 even when priority dates are not current. I believe this single piece of legislation (if we can make that happen) will have a big effect on the entire community, because that will free up that many visa numbers that would otherwise have been used up, and let folks get their GCs faster (even if they are happy with their EADs and APs). Can IV focus on this front please ?
Congratulations btw to everyone who will be taking advantage of this window of opportunity.
Alternatively, IV can find you a spouse to get married ASAP. Just kidding.

Just two things:
1. Make up your mind about your last name and stick with it. Jumping last names can create trouble for you in future. I work for a bank and two different last names mean different people, your credit report will also be messed up so in the long run you will have a lot of pain.
2. Since your first name has three names, and I am guessing out of those two one would be your town and other you father name or something like that, it would be hlepful for you to convert them to single letter and just keep your given name as full name. Most of the systems in US cannon handle three first names and you will face this trouble again and again even if you get it figured out in the visa.
For your current problem just state that your new 797 is approved with a wrong last name, and talk to a lawyer. If he asks show him your new passport and explain the reason for the last name change.
DMV story will create unnecessary confusion so skip it.

Why do you guys have such a hard time believing....
Law says what it says
Visa bulletin has the notce
Berkleybee isn't saying anything in that conversation with DOS which isn't already covered by the law or the note in 2005 visa bulletin.
Still; everyone is thinking it is a mistake and it is going to get current in 3 to 4months?
The cynic in me believes that everyone thinks it is just a matter of time before it becomes current or there is significant movements in dates. This is dead wrong. All one needs to do is look at data coming out from backlog processing centers; amount of 245i labors; statistics on how many people have come on h-1b; l-1's, b visas, f visas, amont of perm labor approvals; amount of greencards approved over the last five years.
It is going to be a very, very long time before there is significant movement in dates.
The cynic in me thinks Berkleybee posted it in immigration.com so that people may now get the message the dates aren't going to move. They aren't going to move significantly next year either. There is TOO many people going for greencards.
As long as people think that the dates are going to move, then they sit on the fence and don't do much to get rid of retrogression.
I am sure if people could get convinced that in current environment; visa dates will never get current then people may have some urgency in participating to get rid of retrogression.
UN,
I have strong belief on your postings. Don�t know about Berkleybee�
I am from India EB3. I strongly believe that we can change this system, after all it is human made, outdated and obviously not suitable for current scenario.
So realistically what we can do about this, if so what would be the approach.
