I am not sure what is the process after fingerprinting. Can someone please clarify?
I believe NameCheck must have been initiated. As far as processing 485 is concerned, does the PD have to be current?
I am trying to figure out what is the tentative schedule for the "magical" GC to appear in my mailbox :) ?
I would appreciate any pointers / links

Please forgive me if these kind of posts are not allowed (Admins, feel free to remove this post if this is not the correct forum).
I am getting ready to apply for PIO for our new born (born in US) but one of my friend mentioned about applying for OCI instead.
The information on eligiblity for OCI in the NewYork consulate website is little confusing. My question is since me and my wife hold Indian passports, would my new born be eligible for OCI?
Also is there something called CIO (Not Chief Information Officer)?
Thanks.

my wife is filing her I-485 based on my filed I-485 under EB2. Do I need to include an affidavit of support I-864.

NO. I-864 is for family based cases only. Some people include I-134 But not required

My AP is pending and my H1 visa on passport has expired like 3 months back. I am on valid H1 status which is good for another 3 years till 2010. I have scheduled H1 stamping renewal interview in India. Can there be any problems in H1 visa stamping as my AP application (I131)is still pending?
Thanks,
Immigal.
Hello Immigal,
I hope your h1b stamping worked out well. if I would have read this post earlier then I would have warned you about 221(g) adminitrative processing which is a possibility for delay. I am in the boat for over 75 days and did not leave with AP approval. Got it after my interview and my lawyer advised me against using it.
I would have waited for AP...
On the other hand..god forbid you got 221g...but if you did then did you used your approved AP (if it got approved while you were out of the US) to go back to the US? What was your lawyers opinion on this?

My salary in 2011 has been raised by $20K per annum, from what it was in 2010.
Will this have any consequences on my next H-1B renewal OR if i go for visa stamping OR on the PERM application?
Mine is a small company with just 12 employees and I hold the same position as I used to when i sarted. I just want to know if there would be any issues with this on any stages.
Your replies would be appreciated.

I'm talking with couple of companies about getting a H1. What documents I need to show for H1 for USCIS? Do I need to show any experience to USCIS?
Please reply

Can we ( VA, DC and MD members ) could meet up some week end to discuss Past/present/future IV/Non-IV issues. And it would be a good event not only to get to know each other and to get new people in.It would be a great if atleast one core member presides the event.

CIS is bound by law to not accept early AOS applications. It depends on State published visa dates. So if we can work with State dept to have them publish the dates for Visa posts for CP as they do today (Which is faster) and add CIS processing delay to the Dates and publish second set of dates for AOS which always be atleast 2 years or more added to current dates published by State.
This gives chance to people, who missed their chance to file in AOS in 2007 July. They can atleast get benefits of AC21 in this tough economy.

Hi All,
I just joined a new company and would like to use AC21 as I will be working on EAD. 140 is approved and 485 is pending for more than 180 days. New job is same or similar as per ONET job code.
My question is,
Is it necessary to involve your attorney or you can simply go ahead and file AC21 yourself?
I would like to what others have done? What kind of extra fees your attorney has charged for AC21?
Thanks
There is nothing called AC21 filing ie AC21 does not have a form that you fill out etc.... generally Attorneys attach the docs with a covering letter citing the AC21 clause and from what I understand, these docs may/may not get into your file.
The advantage of using an Attorney is,
(1) G28 filing - Attorney will get communication and be in position to respond or guide appropriately
(2) NOID, RFE and denials might happen and MTR may have to be filed.
Most times, issues arise when old employer withdraws the 140 petition.
USCIS needs to have a better way of handling this and avoid unnecessary tensions and errors

Convert to H4 if spouse is on H1B. Chances of getting F2 approval are also high if spouse is on F1 and has not applied for I-140 (even if F2 is approved you should not go out of the country for stamping as the embassy will not issue visa due to intent to immigrate). Greencard processing can continue in the meantime as it is process for future job offering.

Hi, I am a holder G4 visa working on a international institution in Washington DC, USA...and my fiance is a G4 visa holder too, working on other international institution in the same city (we are foreigners, south americans, especifically)...ok...the main issue is that we want to get married next month in USA and sure as G4 visa holders at that time....but on this September, my fiance is going to change his status to a F1 visa, because he is going to pursue his PHD on a US University....and I cannot change my status as dependent of him (F1 dependant), cuz I need to keep working, and I dont know if it is necessary for studying here to have exclusively F1 visa as a foreigner student, or he could become a G4 visa dependant from me, after he stop working to start studying.
...So my question is if we get married before that he changes his status from G4 to F1...would I be able to keep working on any international institution meanwhile he can keep his F1 student visa?, with no need to become a dependent from each other, but to keep, my G4 visa, and his future F1 visa, respectively?
My doubt is based on one comment that i heard from someone, but i am not sure, cuz that person told me, that if my husband changes his visa from G4, resigning my G4 dependent status, i couldn't be rehired later...i tried to get advide from a lawyer but his service is so expensive for me...so i hope someone can help me, cuz this issue is so important for us.
Ps: For more information, my fiancee would have to go to his country and getting his F1 visa and go back to USA as a F1 visa holder....And before that trip...we would like to get married...and meanwhile he is studying with his F1 visa, I can work with no problems with my G4 visa rehired as many times as I am re hired...

I've been reading a lot regarding how many people is submitting their application this month, some how after see the possible figures I feel demoralized, looks like before July 2007 all of us were having an idea of our process, then the USCIS mess appeared and now I have no idea of when I will receive the GC or if some day I will receive it.
The USCIS just gave us the sense of advancement but in reality they did not giveus anything, just look the facts, you will have EAD and PAD, but if your I140 or I485 fail then you will be ouf of status, so many people will decide to maintain their H1B status, so why did we apply?
Can any one elaborate or give an estimate of when will we be receiving our GC (whe nI say we I'm thinking in all the people applying under the Visa Bulletin 2007 mess).
Thanks

"In a recent panel discussion at the Library of Congress, Bill Gates suggested to "get rid of the H-1B visa caps," finding the numerical limitation for technology workers "questionable," suggesting that "the theory behind the H-1B" (cap) is "too many smart people are coming" to temporarily work in this country."
I wonder if the richest man in the world can understand and feel the pain about this why it is so hard for sen. and congress. Why corporations like microsoft is not stepping up.

I came to US in 2009 March (on H4 Visa) ,
I filed my H1B in September 2009 with Company A and got approved October 2009. I search for projects 2 months; my employer was unable to place me. So he said he will revoke the H1B petition. After that due to family emergency I gone back to India and while re-entering I entered as H4. (As per I-94 Copy). That H1B never got used and I never got any pay stub from Company A.
Now I am on H4 till date.
I have found the project and the new employer (who is client say Company B) is ready to file my H1B application. Now as per the Company B�s Legal Team, they can�t get the approval before 1st October 2011 (or start date of H1B visa) and they have to fill this position by this month End. (Which is May or Mid June)
Now I have inquired some other place and gone through different forums to get answer.
Here is the query,
If Company B files my H1B petition with attachment of existing I-797, will my petition get approved from the quota of 2009 (since I got visa with validity date as 1st Oct 2009 year)??
What kind of H1B petition I need to file and when it will get approved?
Will this be a fresh H1B petition or something different?
Can I get approval immediately ( if I filed in Premium processing) so I can start working. Or does the petition will say as start date 1st October 2011?
Please help me in this issue. I will really appreciate your help.
Any document/ link which shares light to similar issue is really helpful for me.

Thanks. Where do I file for renewal? At the service center where my 485 is pending (in my case that's TSC) or follow the instruction given in 765 instructions?
