my current employer filed for my labor in march 2005, got approved in march 2007, filed I-140 in April 2005,and while I-140 was pending filed I-485 in july fiasco. In sep-2007 got intent to deny of I-140 based on A2P(ability to pay), employer filed M.T.R in October 2007. I have my fingered crossed looking at the financial statment from employer for the year 2005. chances are the MTR will be denied too. Now I have a new job offer from another employer who is willing to do new H1b for me and may be a labor petition too. the question is I want to see what comes out of the current MTR. Here is the question;
1/- if I tell the current employer to contine the process(which I dont think he will have problem with) and join the job on h1b will my I-485 status be changed or will it effects the current process?
2/- I am currently runnig on sixth year of h1b and my current visa expires in 2010 bades on the pending process with current employer. if I join the new employer on h1b what will be the H1b status will be?
thanks for the answers in advaced
a. You wait for MTR results and make a decision based on that
b. If you MTR is denied, you will have to start your GC process from scratch (labor -> 140 -> 485) because your 485 is automatically denied - so do not think of using EAD or avail AC21.
c. since you have an approved H1B till 2010, you can transfer it to new employer - ask the new employer to GC, and you will become eligible for further H1 extensions.
consult a lawyer immediately as yours is a tricky situation.

When my AP came up for renewal my attorney asked to get new set of photos.
In addition my cousin's EAD application got RFE'ed to get new set of photos even though the photos were recent. The reason given was that they had used same photos to renew their visa few months back (less than 6 months).
Is USCIS coming up some new rule about photos being 'unused' ?? The guidelines say that photos should be recent (taken in last 6 months). However nowhere I do I see that the photos should be 'unused' previously ?
Anyone else had same experience ?
hmm... and here i am wondering for last 10 years "why cannot i reuse stamps "

My feeling is that there wont be any new bills for years sometimes. Both house and senate are deeply divided on the immigration issues. All of them want reform. But nobody can agree on any proposals being put forward to.
Most of them want 11 million illegal immigrants here for their contributions. Most of them dont want 11 million illegal immigrants when they look at what they have to pay for their contributions.
When taking into account of all of these I feel like people will argue for sometime and then will become happy with whats left. The 11 million will stay as illegal for some more years. And the legal immigrants will wait in the line for their rest of the life.

Is getting H1 transfer with extension based on the I 485/I 140 is considered to be using AC21. Does the H1 job description need to be similer to the I140 job description?
In this situation how come H1 description is related to GC job description. AC21 only says that one can get H1 extension based on a pending GC application. But does the job need to be same/similer?

Hi All,
We took an infopass appointment at the Local USCIS office to get a temporary proof of our permanent residency status. Can anyone suggest us what documents to show ?
As I understand we need to show passport , driver's license,485 approval notice, police report and I-90 application.
Is there anything else that we need to show?
Thank you all for your suggestions.

Sorry Sen, your robot wasn't up when I posted my vote. It's very good as well, though I agree it would be nice if it wasn't as dark. :)

I wanted to start this thread so we could get together a plan of action for victims of undue processing delays for EAD/AP. This is a very serious and upcoming issue and we would all be well served to pool ideas.
Here is what I have so far. Some ideas based on my experience and some on searching the web.
1) Apply for your EAD atleast 120 days ahead of the expiry of the current one(USCIS now reccomends 6mths ahead!) Yes you may lose time if they approve it early but atleast, you have the peace of mind and it gives you 30 days breathing space in case of RFE or to get an interim EAD.
2) Check for a LUD at or slightly after 80 days pending. Contact your lawyer at about this time for suggestions.
3) Schedule an infopass appointment for day 91. Ask for the interim EAD.
You can also call the regional service center if you wish.
4) Contact your congressman's office at about this time and ask for their assistance in expediting this request.
5) Fedex an application for an interim EAD the same day. Include a copy of your current EAD copy, your pending 485 on which the interim benefits are based and a copy of attendance at any recently done biometrics.
6) Consider talking with your employer to take a few days off while sorting this out.
If anyone has any additions to this checklist of items or suggestions/modifications. Let me know.

I think its ok. I am in the same boat. But the applicaiton will be transfered to TSC.
Not sure how long it will take.
Hi All,
My employer filed my I-140 in Texas Service center and I-485/ I-765/ I-131 filed in Nebraska Service center. Is this OK?
When i asked for the reason they are saying they did intentionally. Please clarify.

Who asked for a combined AP and EAD?
What help will it offer really?
It would have been better to ask for a 5 year EAD. But some person would have posted asking for a combined document?
What will we really do with a 2 in 1 document????
Really....you can't see how good that is? I am surprised to the core.
A single document means simplification in filing....not having to keep track of when
which document expires. It will obviously come with lower total filing costs. I prefer if
they just give a single card (like EAD) that has all the details, 485/EAD/AP....so wherever
you go, you just present that card and you are done.....instead of carrying multiple
documents.

Yes if someone followed closely on EB3Chinese website you would notice they filed a class action suit and still going back n forth with USCIS on that. I would certainly appreciate the Transparency of EB3Chinese on money being spent on lawsuit as well as taking lead on filing a lawsuit.
If they win the lawsuit you can expect 100s more from chinese/indians/ROW etc
Transparency brings more clarity and more donors ofcourse as the donors know where their money is being spent.

hello :D
the best way to handle archives done in photoshop is PNG, in the window of your library you can modify the file as you like
for vectors use illustrator, in flash you can open the archives directly (importing like .ai or .eps)... if you use corel draw, exists and exporter to SWF you can find it in the site of corel

try POJO method to reach IO. You can find in "n" number of threads to reach IO based upon your service center. but it's based on your luck to get polite and cordial IO. Try multiple times and speak politely.
Posting this info. provided by some one in this forum long time back.
Call 1-800-375-5283
Press 1 to select English
Press 2 to skip introduction
Press 2
Press 6 to find case status information
Press 1
Now enter your receipt number SRCxxxxxxxxxx
Voice asks if SRC press 1
Then reads out application number, if correct, press 1 (now listen to the case update info..blah blah)
Part way through the blah blah press 3
Wait a moment and press 4
(now if you hear a male voice telling you that no IO is available, it will redirect it to National Customer Service Center (NCSC) you can cut the phone.. and try the same steps)
You should hear "You have reached the TSC of USCIS�" OTHERWISE you have been bounced to NCSC. NCSC only sees what you see when you login to check case status at https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/index.jsp i.e. you will not get any useful information out of them.
Once you get an IO, be very polite, and take notes for your records. Ask them for their badge number. That way you can reference each conversation by date and the badge number of the IO.
Some of the standard questions:
1) Name check Status ?
2) Background Check Status ?
3) Has it been assigned to an officer ?
4) When can I expect to get some updates on my case ?
5) Can you help me with a ball park date on when my case will be assigned to an officer?
Ofcourse, we all are aware of the standard response we get.
Good stuff. Thanks
