You mentioned in just two weeks you had got the appointment. When was the appointment after those two weeks. was it one week later or more. Please respond, because I have to book her air travel too. Thanks a lot.
Wait till you get your Fp notices,then you can reschedule your wife's FP app.
I have done for my family members FP's as they are away from the country. There will be a check box in FP notice, for rescheduling, you just put a tick mark and write a letter if you need a specific date. I just sent that FP notice via register post,within two weeks I got next FP app.
Hope that helps.

I work for my company in city A. My GC application is in process (I-140 is approved in EB2 category with a priority date in Dec 2007 and I-485 has not been filed). I have received admission to a top 10 business school in city B (in another state) for a part-time MBA program. I wish to relocate to city B to pursue the MBA and still be working remotely in the same position for the same department from our company office in city B. Once the GC is approved, in say 2-3 years, I would relocate back to city A and continue in the position that the GC was petitioned for.
My management is in on board with the plan but our immigration attorney is recommending against it claiming that there is a huge risk of GC denial. Her argument is �The GC application is premised on the fact that I intend to work for my company on a permanent full-time basis in the position and at the location described in the GC application. I must maintain that intention throughout the GC process. By relocating to pursue an MBA, it looks like I don�t have that intent and USCIS could use this as a basis to deny my GC.�
I desperately want to attend the business school in city B but not at the cost of risking GC. In order to make this decision I need to assess the risk involved. Please help me in estimating the risk!
To what extent are her fears valid? By going against her advice would I be putting my GC in grave danger? Do you know cases where people have relocated for pursuing MBAs during the GC process and yet received their GC?

Hi
My H1B visa on passport expired last year-aug 2006...After that got two extensions but have not left the country to get it stamped. Now we are planning to go to India to get it stamped but while trying to make an appointment on the VFS website they have a new question
"Are you applying for same visa class that expired in the last 12 months?"
I am in same class , but my visa has expired for more than 12 mths. If I select option "NO" there are no dates available.
The VFS instructions also says:
The following applicants do NOT qualify for appointments in the visa renewal category:
1. Applicants who have never had a US visa.
2. Applicants who have a U.S. visa that expired more than 12 months ago.
3. Applicants applying for a different category visa (e.g. had a student visa, now applying for a work visa).
Does anyone have any information on this. Please help.

Hello,
Thanks everybody for the replies and the information.
Could you please let me know if I need to produce the EAD card when entering the US through AP, at the Port of Entry?
I now have my original I-797 with a valid H1B and a valid AP (only my passport is with the Consulate office).
But unfortunately I left my valid EAD card at my home in US.
Could not being able to produce a valid EAD create problem when entering through AP?
Thanks.
You will be OK without EAD. EAD is a back up for H1, just in case u need to use it and has nothing to do with or at POE..
You will be just fine with AP and other job related docs.

But the problem is there is no LUD after Fp, so I dont know weather the FP person has keyed in all the information.
Still have not received EAD, will wait till next week as it will be 60 days over then will call USCIS and ask for any update.

true however typically when you get laid off you already have about 2 weeks of your pay on the employer in which case you will be receiving the pay from them for a pre-dated period. This will give you atleast 2 weeks to find an employer and yes usually you are ok within 180 days, however there is no guarantee that you will not be denied a 485 for the small gap.
The idea is to invoke AC21 on EAD rather than H1 because that will then potentially cause your labor and 140 to cease ( if the employer withdraws)
its true if you are past 180 days you are safe, if you are not you are screwed as you can post using AC21( did i miss anything here?)
cheers
This 180 days mentioned is 180 days from i-485 receipt or 180 days after u joined a company on EAD?
As u never know if there is any change in policy in the company and u get laid off after joining within 180 days, what u should do ?

In some other thread I had mentioned that one of my acquaintances from EB2, India with a PD of July 2005 also got his approved last week!
It is worth noting that before the DoS issued the bulletin update on July 2nd, it issued visa numbers to all approvable "documentarily qualified" - in other words pre-adjudicated petitions. As all PD's were current in July, this happened on July 1 and early morning before the revision of EB visa availabilty irrespective of whether they were from retrogressed countries or EB1/2/3.
Remember they "updated" the July Bulletin as soon as all EB numbers were allocated. It should not be assumed that they stopped requested visa #'s on June 30th.
My educated guess: Although visa numbers for FY 2007 were made available -There are large no. of aos piled (including July 2007 applications, ofcourse) and these will be processed as and when visa #s for 2008 fy are available (may be beginning 2008 FY quota begining Oct 07). They will honor and entertain aos filed /received till july 31st. -no body will like it but- they may come up with aug VB showing most catagories U

I just contributed $100 using paypal. I am convinced betting on this forum will give more bang for the bucks than to give to lawyers for simple form filling.
Great job to date!, my contribution details are as below. I will also be doing recurring contribution

Item/Product Number: Contributions
I am seeing lots of new members with 1 post showing up in the latest update thread. Yes everyone is congratulating IV for the job done.
Everyone asked for every silly issue to show the results for them to contribute. I know even now we have not heard any good news yet, but we know there is going to be one in next 24 hours. I would like this moment of opportunity to inspire the silent members to come forward and contribute to IV and register for recurring contribution. IV goal is not yet complete. This is just a milestone if we could file I 485. Below are some issues and they are just the tip of ice berg.
1. Our fellow members are still stuck with BEC with PD of 2000 and 2001. We have to put ourselves today in their shoes and feel their pain.
2. There are lot of us who are stuck in name check for long time. Nothing is guaranteed if you file 485 today. You may be one among the FBI name check victim in future. I dont wish that to happen , but it could.
3. There are people who have filed 140 and 485 and the documents were misplaced by USCIS. There are chasing their own tail for years and stuck in their life.
4. Unexpected rejection in EAD and 485 and the case moved to different location.
5. Last but not least, the abuse of power by USCIS and wasting the visa numbers. Countries like India, china, mexico and philippines are are hugely affected by this negligence.
list goes on....
SO COMMON AND START CONTRIBUTING.

hi puding, i am also in the same boat as yours, I need to travel to India during nov 3rd week. I have efiled my AP at nebraska on aug 6th and i am seriously if i will get my AP before that. i have already booked my tickets, and concerned, if i will not get this AP. with the ticket prices these days, even if we postpone/cancel, we lose so much money on top of the AP money that we paid to USCIS. this does not make sense at all. I am going to say this loud, PAPPU or ANY IV admins, can you please help us in this.
We are already helping people facing EAD delays and this issue is linked to it for any processing fix anyways. But we would not take up any individual cases for AP delays at this time. We made a commitment for EAD folks and we will fulfill that. We have helped many people get expedited EADs so that they do not leave their Job or be without driver license. The AP delay is related to it and only a tiny % within this small % that are facing EAd delay will be impacted by it. One would be impacted with AP delays only if the person has to travel. An action item can only be taken up for such folks if there are hundreds of such folks. USCIS would need to see this problem as a widespread issue rather than being faced by a couple of unfortunate people due to case specific reasons. Another lesson learnt while working on EAD delays issue for IV is not to work on issues where people have other options. When people have exhausted all options like service requests, Ombudsman, Senator, Lawyers, info pass etc etc... and they come to IV, we should invest in it. For the EAD delay issue we helped people in mass and many of them were not even donor members or had any interest in IV advocacy work. Such members did not value the hard work we were putting in for getting their EADs approved. We heard nasty comments from some folks as if IV is responsible for their EAD delays/ we are their servants fulfilling all their demands (They will dare not be unprofessional with their lawyers or HR....)... that have demotivated us to work on issues where people are not desperate enough, are not donor members and have no other option left.

The question I had was from citizen perspective not GC holder. Let's say if parents arrive on first of the month on Visitor Visa, can the citizen apply their GC next day of their arrival or if there is any wait time...
Visitor visa is issued on the presumption that you do not have intent to immigrate. In fact when you fill out DS-156 you declare that you do not want to immigrate and you have to prove ties to your homeland during the visa interview. If you apply for green card the next day your parents arrive on visitor visa, the USCIS will not take it kindly.

Should we put the primary applicant's A Number or should it be left unfilled?

Congratulations!!!!
After 9 years of being in the US and after years of waiting for the GC processing, the quest for GC finally ended today with the approval of I-485 and the welcome email from USCIS. It is an overwhelming feeling which puts an end to the saga of constant worrying about what will happen to my GC and whether I�ll have to leave US if the GC didn�t work out for whatever reason. I have personally known several friends who had to leave to Canada after the unsuccessful bid for GC here and that experience didn�t make this journey any easier.
I just want to thank all IV members (and immigrationportal members before IV) who have provided invaluable suggestions and help during this long, difficult, and sometimes depressing journey and I wish you all the best for those who are still in the process.

Here is what I was told when i got a paycut of 10% however i am still working under my H1B not an EAD. I did not see you clearly say whether you still work as H1B or wether you switched to EAD.
As long as my pay was above the H1b Labor cert required minimum pay, all is good legally. Even though the letter that was sent for my greencard stated a higher salary, it does not have any impact because it is for a future job not my current job.
So if you are on H1B and the last salary you got the H1B with is less or equal to what you make with the pay cut you are fine, and legally they are not required to pay you more.
Just be careful with the hours, I was told that h1B usually is full time emplyee and in my case that means 40 hrs, so you still have to be employed for 40 hrs and not cut your hours. You can only have a paycut.
Dont burn your bridges, respond to the RFE asap, if you have not yet received a rfe for a verification letter that shows that you still are offered the job your greencard was filed for expect to see one coming.
So find a new job asap while you are still working for the old compnay and then invoke your EAD or transfer the H1B and make sure the new company is willing to provide you with a letter for the RFE should it come to verify they now offer you the job similar to what is been stated in your greencard papers.
Hope this helps
