I see an update on jan 24 on this bill to grant 55000 visas for advance degree holders from DV lottery. Does this mean progress? Rest of the immigration bills never make it to the sub committee.
Jan 5th Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Jan 24th Referred to the Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement
This is interesting, and if the DV system is taken out, it will help many in the eb category. This is good, hopefully it will come to a vote.

Guys
I filed my EAD recently and here is what you should do,
Send the supporting documents to the address mentioned at the bottom of your receipt.
Documents I have sent,
1. Cover Letter
2. Receipt Notice for online EAD filing
3. your earlier EAD paper in which your EAD arrived ( if this is renewal)
4. Your 485 Receipt Notice
This should suffice.
P.S I have already done finger printing.

Ok, let us be united. Let us work on getting USCIS to follow the letter of the law. What is it you ask? It is that the Visas be spilled over as required by the law. It is nothing to do against EB3 or EB2. The visa spillover suggests that the overflowing visas be issued to the most critically retrogressed queue (upon satisfaction of per country limits). Does it help Eb3 or EB2? Both, whenever there is a longer queue, that line is able to move forward.
Right now it is EB3 which is reeling under the incorrect implementation, and EB3s want to see it rectified, while the EB2ers demand Unity (knowing well that they stand to lose -- what was never theirs), I would not be surprised that EB2 raise the loudest voice of action (and no talks about unity) had the tables been turned.
So you see why I think the message of unity sounds so hollow.
Well hollow or shallow does it help you?
hmhmh =------- NO!
Stop questioning EB2 or EB3, they both represent EB community. Yes you maybe right about people thinking about EB2 faster thatn EB3,
But have you followed the bulletin lately?
And the ways things are going, do you really think EB 2 will clear fast and then EB3 will gain a faster movement?
Golden Answer? NO
Whether you like it or not, we need each other, the impact is always greater when the intensity applied to it is greater.
You can keep thinking about how hollow you and I are, but the fact is we both need each other. Everyone see's us as EB community, not as EB2 or EB3,
Most of those Morons don't even understand the difference between H1b and green cards,
So get yourself to think EB community as a whole, not EB2 or EB3, or who benefits first?

They should also allow people from Backlog Centre (PD 2001-MARCH 2005) to file 485. Looks like they really cant make any impact. How many more years to wait just to file 485 ? Oh Gosh....

NatrajS - I got my FP notice - its scheduled for 1st week of Sep.
Ivaka -I am sorry I dont know about checks cashing because we are doing through a company attorney - company pays for our GC expenses..
Dhirajs - There's no FP on my EAD, Is that a prob.?
Sheetal81,
USCIS had issued 60K visas(EAD) by in a month or so and I believe they cannot do FP if they issued those visas in months time. SO I don't think you have to worry about FP for now. If they need it they will get it from you sometime later in the process.
BTW, how it took for you get the EAD after your cheks were cashed?
All the best.

Here is the Chicago Tribune editorial on the Senate CIR bill.
The Senate's better vision
Published May 26, 2006
.............
The Senate on a 62-36 vote Thursday approved a far better plan.
...................
This issue is too important for such heavy-handed partisanship. If the House fails to compromise to get an immigration law, it will reinforce the broad public impression that this GOP-led Congress can't get anything done.
..................
Against long odds, the Senate has produced a comprehensive immigration bill that looks beyond the House's one-dimensional solution. It deserves to be considered in good faith in conference committee. Building on the lessons of 20 years of failed immigration policy, the Senate bill represents our best chance yet to finally set things right. It's time for negotiation, not noise.

Hello All,
I have a valid H1 (I-797, I-94) till 2009, but my H1 Visa on my passport has expired in 2005. My wife has a valid H4 till 2009; similarly her H4 visa on her passport got expired, we haven�t traveled outside of US from then. Now she is planning to go to India next month because of some family urgency and she is planning to take an appointment for H4 visa stamping in Chennai consulate (India). My question is, is there going to be any problem for her stamping as my Visa on my passport has been expired even though I have a valid H1 I-797 till 2009?. Is there any rule which states primary applicant has to have valid visa on his/her passport for H4 stamping.
If any one of you had a similar situation please share your experiece, it will be very helpful.
Thank you for your help
The issue exista only if the H4 attempts to enter us when the primary applicant is not already in the us.

What happens to an employee at any company who has done something positive but has been caught abusing his colleagues a few times. He gets warned by HR first and then gets fired right.
We have lot of things to focus on to get relief for our community and there is no reason to tolerate this behaviour towards fellow members.
what abt all the positive remakes given..??

Hi Cobra,
Don't lose hope. Your will get your approval.
My wife and I went to India in Jan 2011. We both are on H1 and work for the same employer. My company is a 150+ employee IT firm. We both went separately for our Visa interview to Mumbai Consulate.
When my wife appeared for Visa stamping, she was asked questions about her job, education and company. After her interview, the consular gave her the 221g form that requested all the employer details (tax returns, audit statements etc. ). So when I reached India, I carried the documents for my wife and similar set for myself. She appeared for the interview again and after reviewing the documents the consular approved her visa. Our immigration lawyer mentioned that it might take 2-3 months - but this was quicker than we initially assumed.
When I appeared for the Visa India, I was asked questions about my education and how am I on my 7th year of my H1. Once the consular noticed that I have filed GC and the 7th year extension is due to my I-140 approval, she issued me a 221g form and mentioned that my case is taken in administrative processing. They didn't give any turnaround time for the processing. However, I received email from consulate after 4 days to submit my passport and my visa was approved.
I noticed this has happened with most of the friends I know were visiting India for stamping. And the 221g form is issued to anyone, irrespective of IT or Non IT field, Small or Multi-billion Corporation. A friend of mine who is working in biggest telecom got 221g, another one working for Research Hospital for 221g, then one in a Biotech firm and in Manufacturing firm - all non IT got 221g
It will take it's course and you should get your approval. All the Best !!!

GreenMe

If USCIS was a tv company here is what would happen:
A person would purchase the tv and after the warranty expires within 3 years, the person will need to apply for extended warranty at a designated USCIS tv store before he can use the TV again.
Once the owner 'applies' to purchase warranty, the USCIS can choose to hand out a yellow form for further administrative processing, this can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 4 months, within which time , the owner is not allowed to switch on the TV. Once the warranty is approved and purchased, owner will need to repeat this process every other year.

I am in the same situation. They say once you start using AP, H4 becomes invalid....my wife IS working on EAD, she was in India for a while and came back on H4, again resumed job on EAD...then we renewed her EAD and put her current status as H4.........no issues whatsoever.
Use EAD, travel on H4......live life. I do not see any issue.
LostInGCProcess,
The only reason I want to still enter on H4 is that my H4 is stamped until 2010, hence why not use it and save money and hassle on AP entry. As you have said that working on EAD immediately invalidates the H4 status. This is OK for me, but at least I have avoided the AP procedure stuff. Plus the primary applicant is on H1 and hence we both can enter on H1 and H4 respectively rather than one entering on H1 and the other on AP. Let me know if this clears your doubt and if so, can you think this would work out. Also, if you can, please respond to my other questions
Thanks,

Hello,
Yes, as my PD is Feb 2005, this implies that the case has been pre-adjudicated as of now pending new finger prints.
My case was originally at NSC, was then send to MSC (National Benefits Center) and then was sent to local USCIS office in San Francisco where I went for an interview and then had this request for documents. The processing dates for San Francisco field office as of now for I-485 are Aug 1, 2008. So, I'm assuming that they have cleared all the cases that reached them by 31 July 2008 and that NSC sent my case file to them by 31st July 2008.
The IO who interviewed me was different than the one who has worked on my case since.
Yes, thanks for the wishes...but in this process, nothing is certain till the physical receipt of the cards, right? :)
PS: As far as I know, fingerprints and medical records are the two documents that may expire...apart from the applicant! ;)
