Hello all,
Here is my status
I am currently using H1(3 year extension since I140 was filed) and wife is using EAD. And I also have EAD and approved I140. I have filed for my I-485 (2005 PD) with my current company in Midwest in July 2007.
I have an offer from a company in California. Is it OK to accept the offer.
1. Does it matter if I change the geographical region
2. Also my field of work does not change. Only thing that might change is my increased roles and responsibilities and my designation for example from Senior Staff Engineer(Company X) to Principal Staff Engineer (company Y)
I would like to know if Would be in trouble or if my GC would be in trouble having waited from 1997(F1) until now.
-thanks

PennDot Issued 1 year driver's license for both me and my wife. We took H1B 8th year original receipt notice, original employer verification letter and passports. PennDot issued 1 year license based on that. Everything took less than 15 minutes.Please make sure your employer verification letter states your employment duration i.e. how long your company intents to employ you.

Yes. That is exactly what happens. Everytime a cut-off date advances in a certain category, a sweep is conducted of all previously submitted I-485s, and either continue their processing, or if processed far enough, approve it. If a category retrogresses, processing on the case may or may not stop, but APPROVAL IS IMPOSSIBLE if the PD is before the cut-off date.
--> Plethora of information. Thanks
Yes, it is exactly the same. And that means their processing STOPS before approval. The 50,001st schedule A, submitted in, say, June/July/Aug 2006, will NOT be approved until her EB2 or EB3 PD becomes current.
--> Let say 50,001st appl has been filed in Aug 06. Shouldnt USCIS pass on the info to DOS so that they can retrogress it in OCT? In fact they have been saying that it might very well hit the 50K number some where in OCT and thats why they retrogressed it with Nov bulletin
Well, that is what happens. For example. My PD became current with the release of the Nov 2006 bulletin (I have submitted my I-485 3 years ago, and have had 2 sets of Fingerprints taken). Processing was completed on my case over a year ago, but I could not be approved until Nov 2006, because of my PD.
If, god forbid, I am not approved in November, and EB3 retrogresses back 2 months, I will once again be stalled.
--> I am sorry and Thanks again for making me aware of this. What you said makes sense to all other categories but some how I am under the impression that the Schedule A which is a one time quota will be the same. Now I dont understand why they have to retrogress schedule A to 10/05. How does retrogression even apply to a one time quota? Its not like there is another 50k
visas that will be available in 2 to 3 months ( assuming congress hasnt acted on any )
Of course their petitions wioll freeze, this is ALWAYS what happens with retrogression. Minor processing may take palce, but approval cannot and will not be given.
The 765/131s will be approved, I have had 3 sets since I submitted my I-485. These do not require your date to be current, they only require that your I-485 be submitted.
--> Good, they get their EAD's and AP's. What happens when DOS takes the Schedule A category off of VB?

Jokes apart, by now USCIS knows dual effect of cut off date advancing. It makes visa available for I-485 filers with PD prior to the new cut off date. It also invites additional I-485filings with eligible PD's. In an effort to finish with leftover visas in September, USCIS might move cutoff dates upto July 07, but not beyond. They know, doing that will get them more I-485 filings for which they are not prepared.
Let us see what comes out for September. If there is a big movement, as in the past, some lucky ones will get GC ahead of others.

It appears that you are cracking a joke, but I cannot stop from replying to your post. Why are you asking God to save IV? For the things we cannot do or for the things we dcon't understand, why do we always have to bring in 'God' in the picture? Can't we even crack a joke without brining in God?
I am just trying to prevent world war III on these forums. Thats why my request for not referring "God'. We will all be much more happier funnier and peaceful if we try not to bring in 'God' in the mix.
Next thing you will see, someone will post - "God, when will the VB dates move for my category".
.
we know what you two will do after getting your GC/Citizenship..
hopefulgc will join the republican party.. you will join the ACLU :D

Going back might be a good call. But the truth is, no matter how much money you got, how secured you are, the bottom-line is that the call has to come from the individual.
I will share my concern. I was 23 when I moved here and I already spent 10 years of prime life here in this country. After finishing my college, I worked in India for a year and half, and as any young adult I grew up thinking one day, I will change the way life operates in India. There is a system which operates India. It is powerful, normal human like you and I cannot overcome the system. People like Gandhi could, they are willing to sacrifice them self for the best of others. Or you could people like our current politicians who know how to work the system. People like lallu, Jaya, Karunanidhi, Naidu etc, they grew up as a part of the system. For them even when killing someone, they might not feel the remorse. But you and I cannot even bribe without feeling bad, which is good. But the question is how long can you sustain that? I am not 23 anymore; Now, I know what responsibility is all about. I have 2 kids; I don�t know whether I am hard enough to fight the system at this current stage of my life.
There is a famous quote, which states that there is a breaking point for every human, once we are pushed beyond that point, your action does not originate from your brain. In other words you will become part of the system.
For me this is the main concern. When I talk to people here who wants to go back, they say that they will buy a house in some close community and they will live a happy life inside. For me that�s a fools dream. You cannot shut off from others, may be for a month or two, soon you have to face the real world.
So the answer for your question like in this question. How are you going to handle the system in India? I do not believe that things will change. May be in 25 years; Not anytime soon. So until then you have to live a life where in you have to adjust to the system.
I do not have an answer to the question. How will I manage the day to day life? If you know the answer let me know

cant agree with u more on this..

I checked with some folks who have got GCs in the past and they mentioned that FP (2nd time ) is not needed.....unlike the minds of USCIS one's FP doesn't change over his lifetime...that said..if you apply renew EAD u can get FP notice....
But if 15 month rule of FP is correct then very few will get approved as very few have received 2nd FP notice....so I am not sure what is good or bad...we need to know if the folks who had got FP notice had recently renewed their EADs or not.
I am current next month but I rate my odds as 2/98 meaning 2% chance of getting clear.....taking into account RD/ND/transfer/FP all vagaries into account....even Indian monsoon is more predictable.
SoP
Per my attorney and several forums i researched a second FP Is generally sent when your case is about ready to be approved and normally a good sign as they can approve GC and ask for FP after that before sending you cards. However in one forum i found someone posted a DHS release from 2007 describing the FP data is switched to digital storage in a system called BSS and will remain valid for 75 years, thus one theory says that if your first FP was done digitally you may not need second FO and IO can access the results of first FP and approve. But who knows what is true, all of these are speculations.
I have not got second FP notice either and my first and only FP happened in Nov 2007.

Chandu,
Although you bring up interesting discussion, but these stories about Neelima are really old. Dec 2005 ?
Did you see anything recent on her ? Any updates ?
As for handling these situatsions being diplomatic is best but that is easier said than done.
Also, I think we are much more likely to face these types of problems with small companies which are in remote areas.
Big corporations are much much better. I have been lucky in this regards that I have mostly worked with big corps.
These companies actually go to extra lenghts to appreciate diversity.
In fact last year in my current client Indians organized big Diwali festival celebrations to
give American people a chance to enjoy Indian food and learn about our culture.
Its not all bad. There are some very very good facets as well.

Thanks for your informed comments. Like you, I am also surprised to find many people in this forum, who are interested in fire arms.
I don't own a fire arm and not planning to while the immigration status is not yet Citizenship. I don't want the authorities to give another reason to look into my case. I just go for fishing once in a while.
But our family owns two guns in India and have worked with guns from childhood.
Another point is I am very much impressed with how the Americans manage wild life and the nature in general. They enjoy it while preserving it. India does neither. We just destroy it, and write eloquent speeches on nature protection.
Thank you, always glad to help. Many years ago, I was looking for answers to these questions and had to do my own research, internet forums weren't as big then.
I am a hunter as well, and when I went through hunter education, I was amazed to learn how serious the west was about wildlife and nature conservation. Hunting is a very important part of nature conservation. Every country that legalizes hunting, does so in a controlled manner in order to prevent a biological surplus in a species' habitat.
I don't fish that often, except for the odd deep sea fishing trip when the weather is nice, but anything that can get one outdoors breathing fresh air wins my vote.
godspeed,

The question in the WSJ poll referred to a separate effort, pushed by President Bush, to revamp the immigration system and provide a path to citizenship for those in the U.S. illegally.

Please tell us when you applied , and NSC or TSC , EB3 or EB2, etc..so we will get some idea? thanks..
I recently applied for my renewal (AP & EAD) - got my AP approved in less than 3 weeks (which is good processing time).
Validity was for one year, only and from the date the previous AP expired.
EAD - Still waiting - it's 47th day, today and counting. Hopefully before I hit the 60 day mark...that seems to be the processing time, these days.

Did my post suggest in any way that I was defending the guy? I was only ridiculing those who were bad mouthing him.
Are you suggesting that my post would have scored more points if I came out with more ammunition? I did not post in order to win your accolades. The fact that you felt there is not enough ammunition, suggests to me that you think it is perfectly fine to do all those filthy things I was referring to. This tells me about your moral standard.
You had to assume that I probably have a criminal issue too, and thats why I was defending the original poster? Is that the best your mind can think of?
You are sick and tired of defending our community? Do you imply that most people from our community have turned to criminal acts these days, and so you are tired? Because, I have not seen that around the people that I move around with. Is it all too common in your circles and the people you associate with?
You most probably have half the education that I have, your salary is most likely half that of mine, and your moral standard is probably half that of mine. If I start ridiculing you more, you will suffer sleepless nights. So I won't do it (after this post, I mean).
You don't post bullshit in a public forum, just because you can't see the people you are talking to, infront of you. Would you dare call the original poster 'thief' if he is standing infront of you? Would you call him that, if he is a friend of your roommate and your roommate brings him over to your house? The internet must be a new technology for you. Please learn how to use it to spread some love.
To the poster above you:
It is true that the law does not impose punishments on backstabbers, womanizers, sexual perverts, etc. Prostitution is legal in a lot of countries. The fact that the law permits some things, does not have any bearing on the moral severity or the lack thereof, of those things. Would you choose a 'prostitute' over a 'shop lifter' for a wife? If these are the only 2 options, I would be content with a shop lifter. Would you choose a 'prostitute' because there are no criminal issues involved and you will get your greencard faster?
Even though not many people have posted in support of my post, my reputation has gone up, and yours probably went down. Please don't respond just because you want a revenge.
I will always stand up for the one weak guy who is bullied by a 100 really nice & powerful ones. This can't be called defending the act of 'shop lifting' !!!
You are trying to defend a criminal and thus some people objected to it. Crimes by immigrants, whatever they maybe bring bad repute to their country and the immigrant community.
