    I believe, USCIS website was updated on Sep 21st 2009.

    My Priority date is Jun 2006 and applied in EB3 category.
    I got an email on Sep 22nd 2009 from USCIS saying "Document mailed to applicant". When I see online status, it is "Document production or Oath Ceremony".
    I called twice USCIS to confirm it. But they are saying "According to online status the document was already sent to your current address".

    I am in a situation to beleive it or not? to celebrate it or not.... :-( .....

    And one more thing is "I got EAD before my marriage and I haven't added my wife to I485"?

    If I get GC, how to add my wife to GC? is it possible? what is her status right now?

    Thanks in advance...

    It was less than year. See answers below..

    I think there is a possiblity that they might not cross check you G325A with the consulate becuase DOS purges non immgrant applications whihc are one year old. Since there are so many applications filed by the time they go for this check your data may have been purged ( this is a very high possiblity ) as by the time this request is made it would december or so . As i heard that TSC will issue recipts by Oct End ,beofer cross checking g235A there are many checks and many other processes they need to follow. So this is a possiblity.

    My case cannot be processed under CSPA, because the form I-824 was not filed within one year of the visa becoming available.

    but i have a valid point mentioned after the follwing subject. please check if the point is valid.
    ACC TO SUBJECT: CHILD STATUS PROTECTION ACT: ALDAC #2
    REF: (A) 02 STATE 163054 (B) 02 STATE 123775

    -------

    If the principal applicant adjusted status in the U.S. and a derivative is applying for a visa abroad to

    follow-to-join, then the date on which the derivative will be considered to have sought LPR status for

    purposes of satisfying CSPA Section 3 will generally be the date on which the principal (acting as the

    derivative beneficiary's agent) filed the Form I-824 that is used to process the derivative's following to

    join application. Therefore, in cases involving a derivative seeking to follow to join a principal who adjusted

    in the U.S., the derivative can benefit from the CSPA if the principal filed a Form I-824 for the beneficiary

    within one year of a visa becoming available (i.e., within one year of the case becoming current or petition

    approval, whichever is later). The instructions to Form I-485 (the adjustment application) advise aliens

    adjusting status in the U.S. who have derivatives abroad to file a Form I-824 for such derivatives, and the

    I-485 Form indicates that that Form I-824 can be filed simultaneously with the Form I-485
    (READ MORE FROM http://guangzhou.usconsulate.gov/cspa.html )

    I NEED HELP AND I THINK THERE IS ALWAYS AN ALTERNATIVE OF THINGS.
    IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY ANY ANY ANY WAY???
    CAN THEY APPROVE IF I REQUEST THEM ?
    WHAT IS the way out?

    I checked the visa bulletin from august 2003 to the dates when it was current for our category E3.

    I have found this point please have a look and determine if there is a chance?

    VISA WAS AVAILABLE FROM AUGUST 2003 TO JUNE 2005.
    ACC TO LAW FORM i-824 SHOULD BE FILED WITHIN 1 YEAR OF VISA AVAILIABILITY.
    SINCE THE I-824 WAS FILED ON AUGUST 2005 WHICH COMES WITHIN ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE

    JUNE 2005. SO IS IT A VALID POINT TO BE ELEGIBLE TO PROCESSED UNDER CSPA?

    ALSO there is a last hope

    A 221(g) refusal will not be considered a "final determination," regardless of whether it occurred within

    a year of August 6, 2002 or earlier. (The only exception to this would be if the alien's case was ultimately

    terminated under INA 203(g) for failure to make reasonable efforts to overcome to 221(g) refusal. A

    203(g) termination will be considered a "final determination.")
    AND VISA AVAILIBLITY IS THE DATE WHEN THE PRIORITY DATES BECAME CURRENT OR THE DATE WHEN I-140 WAS APPROVED.

    WITH this OR option in above line we can also consider the visa availibity date as the date when priority dates were current

    Please correct me.
    You do not give the date when the I140 was approved? This is the only thing as I see it that can make a difference. Also, when did you file your I485?

    My girlfriend is an Australian citizen and I am an Indian citizen.

    Her uncle and cousins immigrated to the US years ago and she seems to have a Family-Based Immigrant VISA under category F4.

    Her parents have greencards too.

    She believes her greencard was filed for her by her uncle after he got his US Citizenship.

    1. Can this be the case? ( Can an uncle file a green card for a niece? Or was it filed by the cousins? )

    Does she or does she not have a green card in her hand?

    We were recently browsing the USCIS site and it seems she still has to maintain continious residence in the US for 3 more years to be eligible for naturalization.

    This is after she receives the greencard...not merely by staying in the U.S on a non-immigrant visa. What is her legal status now?

    2. Is it mandatory for green card holders to have 5 years in the US to be eligible for naturalization regardless from the country they are from?

    Yes.

    I mean, a lot of immigrants come from India, China etc, but applications from Australia are a lot less.

    Will she, being an Australian citizen, have to wait for 5 years just like immigrants from India, China etc have to? Or can she wait in the US for less time?

    All immgrants except ones in the U.S military will have to wait 5 years to become citizen AFTER obtaining the greencard (I think the spouse of an U.S citizen may get it in 3 years). There is a seperate wait time for greencard based on country of nationality. So, again, does she have a green card already or is she staying on non-immigrant visa?

    3. We would love to get married soon. I don't have any immigrant or dual intent VISAs for the US nor am I very much interested in going to the US either.

    However, her uncle has told her that her greencard would be revoked if she got married to me before getting her US Citizenship.

    Not true.

    Is this just empty an threat from her uncle or are there really restrictions on how person with a greencard can get married or not?

    Spouses of green card holders who are aliens have a typical 5 year wait (especially if you are from India) to get a green card

    4. Are not all greencards created equal?

    Most green cards are but, the road to getting them is not equal. Also, some of the green cards have a restriction of 2 years initially (also known as conditional green cards) when you are married to a U.S citizen for example.

    5. Is there any way by which we can verify, by ourselves, what is the category and type of greencard she has?

    If she has a green card, that is all there is to it (unless she obtained it via marriage which may have a conditional 2 year validity initially). It is an immigrant visa without restrictions. As long as no laws are broken while receiving it and thereafter, she can apply for your green card as a spouse.

    Any special serial numbers/markings/etc?

    I would love to have contacts of good immigration attorneys either in Hyderabad, India or San Francisco, US in case this case is complicated

    Please post this in the lawyers section so that an immigration attorney can help if he/she is from SFO.

    Recently I was asked by a state University to submit additional documentation to prove my legal resident status in the United States after I presented I-485 receipt notice.
    ......

    There is no status during the time I-485 is pending, unless, the person is maintaining other allowed non-immigrant status such as H-1, H-4, L-1, L-2. What commonly referred as "AOS status" is nothing but period of authorized stay.

    The pendancy of an affirmative application for adjustment of status is designated as a period of stay authorized by the Secretary of Homeland Security, during which an applicant does not accrue unlawful presence.

    http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/87120.pdf

    [From the PDF file]
    b. DHS has interpreted "period of stay authorized by the Secretary of Homeland Security" to include:
    .......
    ........

    (5) For aliens who have properly filed an application for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident (LPR), the entire period of the pendency of the application, even if the application is subsequently denied or abandoned, provided the alien did not file for adjustment "defensively" (i.e., after deportation proceedings had already been initiated) .....

    Per Charles Oppenheim, Chief of Immigrant Visa Control and Reporting Division at the U.S. Department of State (DOS) the visa numbers for EB2 and EB3 - India & China to Stay at Current Levels in year 2007.
    (Post from http://www.murthy.com/bulletin.html )

    Employment-Based Second Preference / EB2

    The employment-based second preference (EB2) category is expected to remain at its current cutoff dates for nationals of India and China. These dates have been stagnant at April 22, 2005 for China and January 8, 2003 for India for a few months.

    Employment-Based Third Preference / EB3

    No forward movement is expected for the employment-based third preference (EB3) category. In fact, as predicted in the March Visa Bulletin and confirmed by Mr. Oppenheim, there is a strong possibility that the EB3 numbers that are not in the "worldwide" chargeability will further retrogress, or move backward. This is expected to occur in the summer of 2007. This backward movement is based upon excessive demand for the limited supply of visa numbers. This will adversely affect nationals of India and China.

    This means it is much more important and essential to get Congress to allot more numbers for Legal Immigration or lease we will be struck with this in GC black hole for years to come.

    Guys wake up and start talking to Senators, Congressmen. Get your employers to send letters to Congress. Help IV by contributing and increasings IV membership, spread the word among you foreign friends , students.

    va_il,

    You said you gave it on Thu and picked up on Fri. Wondering if they assured that it would be ready for a pickup on Fri at the DC embassy ?

    If that is the case maybe I'll just land up there instead of mailing it.

    If you sure that they might lay you off, then better to transfer H1B right now ... You can decide to join that different company later.

    It is much easier to transfer H1B based on pending I-140. It becomes difficult to transfer once the employer revokes the I-140.

    The best scenario is to ask to your employer not to revoke I-140 and hope that you do not get any RFEs.

    I also heard that your H1B validity is valid until the time they gave you (although recent AC21 doc says a bit different) and you can do transfers and apply for new PERM during that period. Since you have sufficient time to apply for Labor ... I guess should be fine ...

    Asked Core Iv A Question And They Deleted The Thread

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I asked IV core on what version of immigration bill they support because I and other people wanted to know since there are so many amendments to the current immigration bill and Now I log in to see , the thread is missing, why, my question was straight forward, again I am asking them on what form of immigration bill they support. I highly doubt In what they are doing looks like they are working for the benefit of them self. Guys please don�t be ignorant and its your right to ask the question don�t be a dumb crowd but ask questions.
    I am too in the same GC queue with I140 and I485 filed and pending, so don�t count me as anti � immigrant but also want to see the betterment of others too who are in GC process and will be effected due to the introduction of the new bill.

    If she uses her H4 Visa stamp to enter , will have to file H4 to H1 Chane of status to be able to work on H1.

    She should be able to enter on H4. Then apply for COS from H4 to H1 when she is in US. This should take about 3 months.

    If possible, get the H1 visa stamped while in India. She can then enter on H1.

    I think there should not be any issues either way...

    Hi All,

    Please advise me on status below.

    My wife currently working on EAD, previusly she is on H1B and here employer cancelled H1B when she took permanent.
    Before coming to EAD, she travelled abrod and got I-94 till Sep-2010.
    My Question is: Does she needs to get new I-94 after Sep-2010. I believe if she goes out of country she gets I-94 when travelling with AP...is this correct?? Can someone please tell me necessary steps to take care to maintain status when on EAD.

    Thanks,
    Vishwa.

    I have been advised by some good attorneys that with AOS you do not need to go out and come back just to change status from Non-immigrant to Parolee or to extend I-94. AOS protects status and will not accrue any illegal presence. If you have vacation planned by all means go (take your AP along).
    There is however a Neufeld Memo which if conservatively interpreted will mean that you have to either maintain Non-immigrant status or become a parolee (come back in AP).
    �Example 2: An alien is admitted as a nonimmigrant, with a Form 1-94 that expires on January 1, 2009. On October 5, 2008, he properly files an application for adjustment of status. He does not, however, file any application to extend his nonimmigrant stay, which expires on January 1, 2009. The adjustment of status application is still pending on January 2, 2009. On January 2, 2009, he become subject to removal as a deportable alien under section 237(a)(1 )(C) of the Act because he has remained after the expiration of his nonimmigrant admission. For purposes of future inadmissibility, however, the pending adjustment application protects him from the accrual of unlawful presence. �
    -Source: http://www.laborimmigration.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/neufeld-memorandum-may-6-2009.pdf
    But the Attorneys believe that this alone will not cause you to get in trouble.
    My interpretation is, this is just meant so that they have the right to deport you if things go sour for multiple reasons e.g. you are caught carrying drugs, or get a DUI, or you go up and ask for unemployment benefit or something stupid like that (i.e. become public charge which is a big no no).
    But one thing to note is always ALWAYS make sure that your employment is authorized. (have EAD current or you aren't allowed to work). Working for the employer who filed for your I485 IMHO is best under the current ICY environment.

    This brings up a seperate question if employment gaps are not allowed in EB AOS then what if EAD renewal does not come in time. I have no idea about that one. Its messy. US really needs CIR they need to do some house cleaning.

    My case is similar. EB3 - June, 04. Applied I-485 in EB3 July-2007. Then had an EB2 from same employer PD-Aug-2006. The call center person is right, that is exactly what my lawyer advised me as well. Here is what I did

    Applied I-485 in EB3 - (July - 2007)
    Requested to port the I-485 to EB2 category (with I-140 approved for EB2 and EB3 in hand) in Aug-2008 (In Aug-2008) the dates were current for EB2, June-2004
    Created an SR in Aug-2009 when in Sept-2009 it was again becoming current for EB2-2004
    I-485 Approved on Sept, 2, 2009.

    My advise would be :
    Prepare the case with the lawyer on the category transfer (EB3->EB2) keeping the PD same. Wait EB2-Feb, 2007 becomes current and send the application and open an SR. People have noticed that creating the SR is helping but you must have to wait for EB2, Feb-2007 to be current for you.


    Note : There is a possibility that your I-485 application is already in EB2 category. I would suggest to take an InfoPass and confirm it in Oct-Nov when there are less people enquring.

    Regards
    (I am not an attorney)

    My P.date is 2002 EB-3 and I have used AC-21 is it possible for me to change to EB2 ? and can you share info of your attorney. Thanks.

    Guys...Thanks for the suggestions .

    I am planning to stay back for 1 more month ,i.e till end of July and try for a project. As it is near to impossible to get a H1 Transfer without a project, I would like to hold on for H1 Transfer for now. If l can manage to get a project ..say in 3rd or 4th week of July, can I be able to get a H1 Transfer approved without any issues or RFEs. My last paycheck was issued for the week ending June 28th, 2009. So I can provide a Paystub of only a prior month, if I apply for possible H1 Transfer. Will this be good enough .

    Please advise whether staying for 1 more month after H1 Termination should be fine or not, from the perspective of Job Searching and H1 Transfer.

    Just think that 40K green cards went to India last year and this year it will not exceed 10K by much. That was before BECs.
    It is a truly daunting situation.
    I however do feel there will be some solution to this mess within the next year with some sort of legislation that corporate america will push.

    Howdy fellow Aliens,

    My wife's EAD just got approved. Now I have to get her a SSN so she can start working part time. Firstly I should ask can she get a SSN provided her I-485 application is filed and she has a valid EAD ? Any idea how long it takes to get the dang SSN ? I appreciate your help as always.

    EAD is for work, SSN for Tax purposes, etc. Apply for SSN, I dont think you need to wait for the actual SSN number before your wife starts working.

    Congrats Buddy.....Was your I140 approved from TSC?

    03-29 08:43 PM
    I got the RFE notification in the mail yesterday and here is the RFE info:

    The Service acknowledges that you filed your I-485 Employment Based Application (Receipt #) based on your approved 3rd preference I-140 (Receipt #). Service records indicate that you also have an approved 2nd preference I-140 (Receipt #) with a priority date that affords you an available visa. If you wish to transfer this I-485 to your newly approved Form I-140 a request for conversion must be made in writing. If no response is received, USCIS will continue adjudication on the instant I-485 based on your 3rd preference I-140 and will wait for visa availability based on that preference classification".


    I had another approved I-140 in EB2 from the client where I worked as a contractor. That company got acquired by another and am not sure if they still support me in the process.


    1) Did anyone receive such RFE?
    2) Should I send USCIS a letter by requesting them to trasfer my I-485 to EB2?

    3) USCIS had issued this RFE on 03/03/10 with 04/03/10 deadline but I had received it yesterday(3/27/10). I have only 1 week to respond back.
    Is there a way to buy some more time if i cant respond back in 3-4 business days?


    Please advice. I really appreciate your help!

    Thanks in advance.

    Firstly, its good that USCIS is infact tracking all approved I-140s based on applicant's profile in order to adjudicate cases which have an available visa number based on PD porting.

    In your case, technically, you can only request to tag your I-485 to the EB-2 I-140 only when the EB-2 sponsoring employer is still willing to employ you when your I-485 is approved. You need to consider a situation of USCIS issuing another RFE in addition to your transfer letter, to produce an employment verification letter from your EB-2 employer. Best thing to do is to get in touch with your EB-2 employer and check to see if he is still willing to support you. In that case, you can request for transfer. Otherwise, technically, you cannot transfer your case but can continue your case in EB-3. Obviously, getting an expert opinion from a good attorney is key as time is running out.
