Greetings everyone.
I ran into these forums few days ago and realized what I have been missing for the past few years :-). Anyway, my GC priority date is Nov 2005 under EB2 (India). I am very GC-illiterate in the sense that after actively tracking and monitoring it for a year or so after filing for labor, I kind of gave up on the fact that I was going to get GC anytime soon and moved on. Except for replying to lawyer's emails whenever I get them, I didn't really monitor anything else. Anyway, here is some additional information -
1) I applied along with everyone else in July 2007 for I-485 and got my EAD.
2) I went for VISA stamping in Hyderabad in Nov 2009 and got 221(g) (I had all the documents but you know how 221(g)s were given out at Hyd like M&Ms at that time) and upon lawyer's recommendation entered the country through AP.
3) A part of my company was recently acquired by a different very large MNC and I chose to remain in the other half which wasn't acquired and we chose to do business as (DBA) as a different company. Lawyer said she took care of it on the GC app - I am guessing she filed for AC-21.
4) I currently applied for a EAD (current one expires in couple of months) and AP.
Long story short, my app status currently shows, "post-decision activity" -->Does it mean they already took the decision? Is there a chance something could go wrong in the next few weeks? I called the lawyer's office yesterday and they said I should hear from them in the first week of August and if the app status doesn't change, they will open a SR on my behalf around Aug 10th...
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch!

Good evening,
I am currently in the United States and in the process of changing my Q1 into a F1 visa.
My contract with the Q1 visa unexpedently ended in June 2009 and the visa was expiring on the 17th of september 2009.
I sent the file with all the papers to the USCIS before the end of the expiration date and is still in process at this time.
I heard that i can not exceed the period of 180 days after my last day of work with my Q1 Visa.. Is this true ?
I was thinking by the time i filed everything before the end of my Q1 visa, i could stay in the United States until the approval or denial of my F1 visa...
if this is true :
1. Do I have to wait in France for the answer of the USCIS, or my case will be cancelled and I have to start all oveer again in France ?
2. If I do not stay more than 180 days, going back to France and coming back for exemple 1 week after to the US with a tourist visa, am I able to change my status to F-1 ?
3. If i receive an approval answer from USCIS after a few days that I've been back in France, will it be valid ? Can it be sent to me ?
4. Do I have to get a new I-20 from the university if I am starting the process in France, or the one that I have is still valid ?
Could you help me please, beause i am confused...:confused:
Thanking you by advance for your answer

Hi,
I have applied for my wife's AP with NSC today and She needs to travel on April 3rd. I wanted to know how long does it take these days for approval?
Also, if she does not get the AP by April 3rd she would be travelling anyway. Because, I can mail her the AP once we receive even after her departure as I am going to be here in US. My question is if she travels out of the country before the approval, would USCIS know about it and would it affect her application? And if it does not come at all, can she apply for H4 stamping in India and come back on it? Please let me know guys.

I think that you would need something like 3DSMax for that. It's not something that swift does well. I think if you created each finger joint in the lathe, and then put each together yourself, on the stage, you might be able to do it, but this is not something that swift does well.

I dont think that holds true. If you follow you'll see they have been approving cases even in December for 2003 when the PD has been retrogressed to 2002 for December.
The actural allocation of a visa # hapens after your 485 is approved. After he approves your case, the adjudicating officer will send the case to someone else to allocate the visa # for you. This will take days. That will explain what you've metioned here. Those cases were acturally approved in Nov. I bet you wouldn't see any more such case by late or even mid Dec.

Now if Olympus and Konica-Minolta could only collaborate on a next gen dSLR we might hit the jackpot -- dust protection AND anti-shake!
Olympus products are great both in terms of build quality and optics. You won't be disappointed.

Hi,
My attorney had filed our 485 at Nebraska SC on July 30th. She didnt file EAD & AP.
On August 10th I myself filed EAD & AP at Nebraska SC. I got receipts for AP. For EAD, they have sent back our docs saying that 765 has been filed with improper fee (guy who picked the file is not aware of July VB fee valid till Aug 17th). So I have sent back the documents with a cover letter stating we come under July VB, after a week they sent back the packet again with same reason to file with proper fee of $340. I dont want to waste time and energy.. so this time I have sent $340 and after a week on Oct1 we got receipts for EAD.
Mean while I called USCIS to check the status of my 485 and luckily got the receipts numbers from them. The file has been transferred to Texas.
My questions are:
1.The received date on the EAD receipt is stated as September 27th. But the very 1st time we filed was August 10th. So would they treat our file as that filed on August 10th or Sep 27th???
2.My EAD & AP are at Nebraska and 485 is at Texas..would that cause any delays..concerns?
Anyone been thru such experience. Please throw some light.
Thanks in Advance
Indy.

I moved from Company A to company B towards the end of my H1 6 th year with only a month and half left in my H1. Company B applied for my 140 and 140 was approved just on the day of my 6 year completion. H1 transfer was filed in parallel in normal processing. H1 transfer has got an RFE now a day after 140 was approved.
1. Will there be any problems in getting the H1 transfer based on the 140 approval with the new company? Please note that I do not have any days left in my original H1.
2. What will the duration of H1 if the transfer gets approved?
3. I am continuing to work based on 140 approval and pending h1 transfer. Please advice is it is ok.
Thanks,
Deepa

USCIC announced the availability of two new grants that are designed to help lawful permanent residents prepare for citizenship and integration in the U.S. This year, nearly $7 million will be made available for education initiatives throughout the country. According to USCIS, these two competitive grant programs will help expand citizenship preparation programs for lawful permanent residents that wish to achieve U.S. citizenship.
Citizenship and Integration Direct Services Grant Program - The first funding opportunity will focus on providing funding for local programs that are currently working to promote the rights and responsibilities of citizenship through direct citizenship preparation programs for lawful permanent residents. Examples of such programs include those with initiatives to prepare lawful permanent residents for the civics and the English reading, writing and speaking portions of the naturalization test.
Organizations interested in applying for this grant opportunity should send a required letter of intent by March 26, 2010 to the following email address: citizenshipgrantprogram@dhs.gov.
Citizenship and Integration National Capacity Building Grant Program- The second funding opportunity will focus on increasing the capacity building initiatives of national, regional and statewide organizations that provide citizenship services in underserved communities. Funding through this grant will assist these organizations in promoting the integration of immigrants in the U.S. through direct citizenship services for lawful permanent residents.
Organizations interested in applying for this grant opportunity should send a required letter of intent by March 26, 2010 to the following email address: citizenshipgrantprogram@dhs.gov.
To apply for either of these programs, visit www.grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov).

If your processing date is current, if your PD is current, and if you are name check is cleared, they most likely be processing or processed your case.
If your processing date is current, if your PD is current, but if you are name check is not cleared, and so as per new rule, they will process your case in a month or so.
If your processing date is current, but if your PD is not current, but if you are name check is cleared, most probably they will pre-adjudicate your case. So the day your PD becomes current, you will get your GC. In this case if your NC is not cleared, you have to wait another month as long as you are above 180days of NC waiting...
If your processing date is not current, but if your PD is current, I have seen people getting GC, so I believe they must have cleared their NC. But I don't quite understand this scenario...
this is just my belief from the pattern i have seen so far, correct me!

I was just wondering if they stall the 485 processing once they issue an RFE on EAD. Would they hold the case in abeyance or are these two mutually exclusive.
Btw, am not sure of the reason for RFE yet.
Has anyone had their 485 approved with an RFE pending on EAD or AP?

PD: June 2004
I140 Approved: Aug 2006

RFE on EAD: Aug 6, 2008

Hi,
I have an approved I140 and a PD of Apr 08. I am planning to change company .
Some where in May I heard the news that end of this year USCIS is going to halt concurrent filing of I-140 and I485 and introduce an extra step called Pre-App for I485 and which can only be done after I140 approval.
1) what are the chances that this would happen?
2) What will happen if one switches company after 180 days of PreApp of 485.
can he/she invoke Ac21 ?
3) will Pre-App makes one eligible for EAD/Parole ?
Thanks

My H1B transfer got denied on last month because of end client contract was not provided.
At this time, we are trying get to all contract details(start to end client) and file new h1b petition (CAP Exempt) on premium processing and Lawyers are suggesting me to go for Counslar Processing.
I want to know What are options have to selected on I-129 for counslar processing (I am going through Lawyer However, I want to ensure that we are selecting right one)
On I-129 Form, Part 2,
Question 2: Basis for Classification (Check one):
a. New employment (including new employer filing H-1B extension).
b. Continuation of previously approved employment without change with the
same employer.
c. Change in previously approved employment
d. New concurrent employment.
e. Change of employer
f. Amended petition
Question 5: Requested Action (Check one):
a. Notify the office in Part 4 so the person(s) can obtain a visa or be admitted.
(NOTE: a petition is not required for an E-1 or E-2 visa).
b. Change the person(s)' status and extend their stay since the person(s) are all
now in the U.S. in another status (see instructions for limitations). This is
available only where you check "New Employment" in Item 2, above.
c. Extend the stay of the person(s) since they now hold this status.
d. Amend the stay of the person(s) since they now hold this status.
e. Extend the status of a nonimmigrant classification based on a Free Trade Agreement. (See Free Trade Supplement for TN
and H1B1 to Form I-129).
f. Change status to a nonimmigrant classification based on a Free Trade Agreement. (See Free Trade Supplement for TN and
H1B1 to Form I-129).
Any help appriciated.

I thought this will be a useful information to everyone.
My Case,
04/18/2008 -Applied EAD online
06/19/2008 -Status changes to "Approved" but no Notice sent.
07/20/2008 -Waited for 30 Days and called USCIS to open a Service Request.
07/24/2008 - Received EAD at home.
08/26/2008 - Received the letter from USCIS saying we have sent you the card but never received back or delivered to you hence concluding it is considered lost and if you need it, Please file for EAD again.
I called USCIS, Customer server rep said take an Infopass appointment to make sure it is valid.
Took the appointment, went USCIS on 09/10/2008.
Officer takes a look and tells me "Obviuosly you have EAD in your possession and unless you made it up on a color Laser printer, It is my fault that I have provided wrong information to USCIS and not waited for 30 days as I should have and I am there to pick up a fight with USCIS,bla bla bbla"
I remained very calm knowing he does not like his job but have to do it.
He is rude and clueless at the most why I am there. My first experience with USCIS, I dont think I want to go to their office again.
Finally conclusion he tell me "Once EAD is issued it remains VALID until you notify USCIS that it is lost or stolen or tempered with, USCIS DOES NOT take any proactive actions on EADs that are issued. Hence NO action is neccessary at this time"
Moral of Story is DO NOT go to USCIS if you receive such type of letter from USCIS after opening a service request for EAD.
I wasted a good amount of time and money just to take this BS.
Thanks
I hope this helps.
