Argument:
Due to un-availability of revised bulletin, if NSC approves i485 and issues AP and EAD, they cannot cancel it..as they have not used any visa # at this time ? Am I correct ?

I heard once you get your GC, you have to stay 6 months in US?
thats correct , india is booming right now and it will only go up
So i think that even if we succeed in getting the green card , we should always have one option to going back.

Are there civil surgeons approved by USCIS in India who can do the TB test for her?
There are so many green card cases which are counselor processing. How do they get their medical? So this is something you could explore the possibilites of medical test in India.
bbct & vin13,
Thanks for all your feedback.
I explored civil surgeon in India option. Didnt work out. Panel physicians in India do medicals for FB AOS. Civil surgeons in US do medicals for EB AOS.
It can not be interchanged since the forms and procedures are different.
Everyone I asked say gambling against USCIS is like playing with fire. I don't want to jeopardize my wife's pending I-485.
We should have done her TB test before trip. That is a mistake I did and now paying a price. Another Lesson learned!

Hi Gurus
I have applied I-485 for me and my spouse. I did not apply for EAD as my H1B is valid until Nov 2009 and visa is stamped untill June 2008. My wife is also on H1B, stamping valid until April 2009. I heard that if I apply for EAD the immigration officer at port of entry might ask advance parol where as if I continue to use my H1B I can travel anytime without any problem
here is the question - should I apply EAD & Advance parol before 17th to take advantage of old fees structure? or wait for the I -485 receipt or DO not apply untill my H1B is valid?
thanks in advance
Just because you applied for EAD does not mean that you need to enter on AP. You can still come back on your H1 stamp.
its your personal decision based on your own goals/needs. If you intend to take up multiple jobs or your spouse wishes to work in a non-H1B type position, or stop working and then start working again without worrying about change of status (H1->H4->H1) then applying for EAD+AP would be helpful.
If you want to maintain a backup, you can still apply (an approved EAD does not change your status, you need to actively use it). Applying after you get the receipt might be better (since USCIS can easily tie your case together).

happy to see so many folks can finally apply for I-485 and many stuck in retro can finally get GC.
my PD is nov 2005 so I guess we will be waiting to apply for I-485 for a while (perhaps, 3-4yrs) :cool:
or not!:p

I looked at converting to RIR but there seems to be no point in changing. There is no guarantee that an RIR application will be processed before an TR. Also, they are picking up applications in random order and not FIFO. So, I decided against the conversion.

Hello Core Members ,
We are seeing that some applications are being returned by USCIS mail room people , for improper fees and missing forms . This looks to be a very bit issue for people who have filed the cases , during July . Its possible that the filers may have made any mistake or this can be a mistake of Mail room People too due to huge volume of applications they have received . During Normal process every one had a fair chance of applying again with in the current month or many times even the preceding months. This is definitely not the case this time. If some case is rejected after Aug 17, they will not be able to file I 485 for Years . Can any of the core members suggest a way to contact the USCIS or DHS people and get some relief from this , and allow to re file the I 485 .
Thanks
Kumar

I was also lucky to meet one of their executive editors to whom I explained the issues posed by retrogression. He was very supportive but informed that he has been hearing from the other side as well.( I guess from NumbersUSA).
We too should be pro-active in campaigning to media about our valid cause.
I just sent the following E-mail to the Information Week Editors.
Sub:Your help requested for Skilled IT wokers to get their greencards
Dear Mr.McGee,
I had a chance to read your article about the issues
faced due to the H1B caps and the Greencard
Retrogression.("Time Is Running Out For H-1B Visa Cap
To Be Raised--Or Is It?"-Information
Week,Dt:06-Sep-06)
Thanks much for your insight about the SKILL bill.
It would be of great help if you could write more
Articles about the retrogression issues. Thousands of
unfortunate skilled workers like me have been caught
in the 'Retrogression' black hole and there is no
relief is visible in any near future.I have been
waiting for more than 5 years for my green card in
vain. We are in a state of limbo and are almost
similar to bonded laborers since our professional
mobility is very much limited.
People talk so much about the CIR and Illegal aliens
but very few people even know about the plight of the
LEGAL SKILLED workers.The retrogression has not only
affected my immediate future but it has also
negatively impacted the future of family/kids as well.
Our final hope is residing on the SKILL Bill and we
pray that it will be some how be passed in the
lame-duck session as you mentioned in your article.
Hundreds of Skilled workers like me have given up hope
already and are returning to their countries or are
looking for opportunities in other countries like
Canada etc. This also is having a significant negative
impact on US economy.
Just to give an example: Atleast 100,000 Skilled
workers are holding off the decision to buy a house
since they are not sure about their future here in US.
This amounts approximately to $30,000,000,000 (100000
X $300,000) inflow of money that could give a big
boost to the declining US Housing market.
It is sad to see that so many experienced LEGAL people
leaving this country due to immigration caps.
I kindly request you to publish a cover story on this
serious issue before the lame-duck session. I am sure
your words will have a big impact on the CEO's and
CIO's who in turn can lobby among the senators for our
cause.
Thanks again for your help so far.
Regards,
Sreekanth

be aware. All these PDF editing tools leave a watermark - "Draft" or "Trial Version".
They are totally useless.
Earlier trial Adobe 7.0 Professional did give edit and save. Not 8.0
Bottonline: don't waste time or by 8.0 for USD 1800 or so. Or use one who has PDF editors (Admins etc)

Does frankfurt require transit visa if some one is traveling to India if:
A) While going to india and have H1/H4 valid until 2011, but stamping expired.
B) while coming back to USA if I am planning on coming on Advance Parole ?
How long does the airport visa take ? I traveled through FF in 2005, but I had valid H1 stamp. It is expired since and perhaps wont get stamped before coming back, but use AP.
<edit> This is what I found on the germany.info site
"Indian, Turkish, Nigerian and Ghanaian airport transit travelers who
- are holding a valid visa or other residence permit for the USA (this includes advance paroles, but not approval notices), Canada or Switzerland and travel to the country which issued that visa or residence permit
or- after a legal stay in the USA (this includes holders of valid approval notices), Canada or Switzerland- return to the country whose citizenship they hold"

To hell with the checks and all, if you are all legit, there is absolutely no need to worry, people are ready to go back and not rot with this economy, increasing this intrusive checks will make people more averse towards H1 , which might help the local folks finds jobs, but it will adversely impact the economy of this country. I guess it has to be this way.

This being your first post on this forum, I'd like to advise that you include URL in your post otherwise one might think you are making this up.
Why AILA not suing State Dept. or USCIS for other issues... read a letter posted by someone in a forum
To AILF/AILA,
I appreciate your effort in filing lawsuit on behalf of July I-485 filers.
There are several critics on your July I-485 lawsuit. They criticize that you are doing for the benefit of your members (AILA). Definitely, your members will be benefited by huge amount of legal fees. Also, the critic says it is waste of time.
Even one of your reputed member (Rajiv Khanna @ immigration.com) posted in his website that chance of winning the law suit is very minimum.
He posted in his website as follows: "Please note folks, I don�t think this class will be easily approved by courts. CIS could argue a lot of things against it, which I don�t wish to publish in an open forum."
Why you cannot sue for the people who struck at Consulate due to administrative process without probable cause.
Several of them working in U.S (they have proof of employment, pay stubs, worked in the U.S on H1B visa for many years) just went to their home country for short vacation and applied for visa; they have rented house in the U.S and unable to break the lease; unable to pay car dues; their U.S citizen children also held overseas; they are loosing their jobs. State department is holding these visa application for more than a year in several cases.
What steps AILA has taken in this issue. If not, why you are not aware of this issue or why you are not giving importance. Do you think this issue will not bring such a huge legal fee like I-485 lawsuit?

I-140 approval with 6/06 as PD for EB2. But the notice says that the information submitted with the petition shows that the individual may not be be eligible to file for AOS at this time. Additional information about eligibility may be obtained from local INS office?? Is this how the approval should state
Do not worry.
At the time of approval your PD was not current, which is until Jume 30.
After July 1 you can apply for AOS.
