well - for the antis - the ONLY post they liked seems to be "pack your bags and go home". Lets not try to force ourselves to satisfy them.
Now, when it comes to out of status issues - lot of people do genuinely fall out of status. There is nothing called exploiting the loophole unless someone breaks the laws.
It is obvious that one must not be on bench, or after layoff without a job. There is no room for loopholes.
We have always seen that USCIS does treat every petition for renewal on a case to case basis. Grace period (considerable) has been considered for genuine cases.
Infighting is common - it happens everywhere. People seldom change.
See - IV is not something like a freedom movement or asking for rights for poor or downtrodden - IV is basically a group of immigrants who are skilled and well educated who want to lobby for a change in system and sort issues. Everyone here has their own selfish motive and that's why this infighting among eb2 vs eb3 , MS vs BS, India vs ROW et al......
So lets not worry too much because antis paint all of us together because of actions of some people. If people realize and change - well it is good for all - otherwise - "we cannot make the horse drink water .." you know what I mean

suggest you call CIS if you have only have to reschedule your FP. I'm a NSC > CSC >NSC filer, I was out of the country when my FP arrived. So called and rescheduled after returning and received new FP's a week later.
I called them up yesterday and i was kept on hold for around 2:15 hrs before i hung up! the music was not pleasing either! Will give it a try again sometime tomorrow!

Are the sample affadavits floating around the ones to be used (that my parents can fill in and sign) and would that be sufficient. Does it have to be notariazed or parents filling/signing it is sufficient.
Also do consulates of India etc provide such affadavits/birth certificates?
confused...
it has to be 2 affadavits....right...one by parents (both parents on one i'm assuming) and the other say an uncle (is there a format for that one)...
You need 2 affidavits, one from each parent. Or from one parent and one close relative. Or two from two close relatives. They do not need to be notarized as long as they are self-attested. Scanned copies are fine. Retain the original with you in case the CIS asks for it.

stucklabor,
Thanks for your post. It's good to hear the perspective of a core member of IV like yourself. I understand your point of view but respectfully disagree with your definition of the greatest good. The greatest good will not be achieved by just passing the labor cert. stage. The greatest good is achieved once we have the GC card. Your effort on retrogression to benefit 250k & 200k is plausible. But you help them to pass one bridge, to just get stuck on the next. If there are 25k people stuck in name check at this time, imagine what will happen when the estimated 200k-250k reach that stage.
If the 25k spent in average 3 years in the name check, what will be the wait time for that massive population that are headed that way after retrog & labor cert? The EB process is a big picture and the greatest number will not get the greatest good until all these obstacle are resolved all the way to the end.
Sroym, you are missing the point. If it is only about 20% of the people who are stuck in name check - for whatever reason - the proportion is going to remain the same once the 250K+200K that we are talking about get to that stage. 80% of the people are NOT going to be stuck. IV has limited resources. We can't focus on all the issues all the time. It is the greatest good for the greatest number. You are focusing on greatest good. We are focusing on the whole.

Sbind,
I am also in the same situation, My (including my wife) I-485 case was approved on 8/5, my wife received physical card 2 weeks after and I received a FP notice (Code 2) and i gave my biometrics on 9/29 and my I-485 status changed from Approved to Initial Review on the same day. Its scared me and i immediately called USCIS to know whats happenning and have created an SR...so far no response yet. I have my approval notice, as you suggested i will take an INFO pass and get it stamped on my passport.
Please update your case in this thread.
Thank you
chintainfogc
I got my FP done on 10/05. My 485 status changed from Approved to Initial Review on that day. I believe it's auto status change. I have my approval notice and Permanent Resident stamp on my passport. I booked infopass appointment on 11/01 to know inquire about this change.

Hi gurus-
Please let me know Can we use EAD with out I140 Approval.
Thanks
Aj
Yes, You can use EAD and start working on it before I-140 approval BUT you can not change employer using AC21 without an approved I-140 even if your I-485 is pending for more than 180 days.
Let me clarify some doubts people have on this thread...
It's your choice whether to use EAD or H1 to work,
You can change employer on EAD as well as H1(EAD is just easier, no application fee involved), provided your 485 is pending for 180 days and 140 is approved.
EAD does not give you the freedom to change employer if the other 2 conditions are not met(140 approval and 485 pending for 180 days). Once these 2 conditions are met, you can change even on H1....

My suggestion is not to insult or hurt anybody. I understand the purpose of immigrationvoice. I am a contributor and will continue to support IV. However the way people hijack threads really pisses me off. The leaders of IV should figure out a better way to motivate people to donate. If people are not inclined then stop calling them names etc. I am not talking about anybody in particular. If somebody is not inclined it is not completely his/her fault. The coercive tactics some people use on the forum to make people donate actually does piss of a lot of people. I am nor talking about anybody in particular, but this is NOT the way to motivate people to contribute.
Sorry if I heart anybody feelings.
And I will donate to IV again..
I understand your point but theres been barely three fundraising threads to my knowledge in the whole existence of iv. and frankly ppl are just waiting to get offended - grow up ppl!

It appears we did not get to have a leader for this chapter. Since I am in lansing Michigan, the heart of where all the lawmakers are in MI. I will be happy to coordinate any IV activity.
I have just sent some of you an email to contact me, so that we can plan to meet the lawmakers next week. Please send me your name, email add and phone number. Please send a PM or email.
Thanks
Thanks for taking this initiative.
Sent you PM with my details.

Well - these people get VIP treatment in prison - believe me - they get good food, drinks, entertainment, cell phones, cable tv, reading room and other things. They wont keep VIPs along with pickpockets and robbers.
Most of the VIP frauds actually continue their business operations or start new ventures when in jail and sometimes form new partnerships with like minded VIP frauds who are also in the same prison.
It is a haven for them.
After all the heat goes down and after few years they are released, no one cares - they may either settle in a beach house or continue with another fraud company or maybe enter politics.

You should have done this at least 6 months before your I-94 expiry date so that you could have used automatic Visa revalidation to reenter US after which you could have handed over your I-94 and left Canada by plane.
Now that you're running out of options, my suggestion is that you leave US by plane and find alternatives to transport your car. This is a surefire way to get your records updated.
Don't even bother about following up with attorneys or mailing the documents to "ACS - CBP SBU" as it's all time consuming and complicated. If the CBP didn’t update their records due to whatever reason, then the onus is on you to prove that you didn’t overstay your I-94.
Refer http://www.amcits.com/form_i-94.asp and search for “What If No One Takes Your I-94 Form Upon Departure”

I got my house loan 4 years ago.
Everybody at that time recomended Credit Unions. after talking to lender and telling them about the rate of credit unions, they were never able to desqualify Credit union, beside credit unions will probably never sell your mortgage to third parties. you will actually talk to the real lender no brokers.

Gurus/Experts,
First of all, thanks for your time and any suggestions you can provide for me to handle my case.
Here are the details:
- I am employed with a mid-size consulting/services company.
- Perm approved in EB2 and I140 filed 11/2009. I have a BE degree and 9 yrs of progressive experience before perm filing.
- Earlier this month I received an RFE asking for '60 months of exp before labor filing in form of document from current or previous employer'
- All my EB2 qualifying experience is with previous employer(a top 10 Indian IT company) as labor was filed by my current employer the same month i joined them. I was with them for 5.5 yrs
Problem:
- I was on an onsite deputation from Indian company. Before leaving for US they make you sign a bond of approx $10k and the condition is for you to return back and resign. I know that as per US laws this is not enforceable but in India this very much stands true and if you wish to fight it out you need to go thru legal systems, may not be worth the time and energy dealing with a big corporation.
- Considering the heavy amount being asked i had decided not to close my case with them as there was no impact working here in US.
- Now I need an experience letter and they are taking there own time to process my case. I doubt I can get exp. letter from them before due date of my RFE.
Possible solutions based on my knowledge:
- Get a letter on previous company letterhead from some known manager. Contacted some managers but no one seems to willing to do this.
- Get affidavits from co-workers who worked with me during the time. Already have them and had submitted to company lawyer alongwith previous co. offer letter, yearly appraisal letters and last few pay stubs. Basically, everything to prove my 5.5 yrs of work exp. was provided with the only exception of an exp. letter from previous company on its letter head.
Has anyone of you came across this scenario? How did you handle this and what papers did you provide ? Please share your experience and suggestions.
Thanks again for your time.

Hi friends,
Can we start working for the new company immediately once the transfer petition is mailed i.e. without waiting for the EAC number ?
NO.
Mailed is not equal to received or applied for transfer. Until you have proof that USCIS has received your application, dont start at the new employer. Waiting for the receipt # is the safe route down the road even though you have to delay by a week or so.
