I apologize for hijacking this thread. I could not find a way to create a new thread. I subscribed for monthly contributions almost 5 days back and still don't have access to Donor's forum. Emailed the admins, still no response. Can the admins take a look at this one please?
And also how do I create a new thread? I did this some time back, but could not find it where to start.
Thanks

They are just trying to justify both of their notifications,
1) Fee hike notification effective from today
2) July bulletin released on Jun13th
lets give them a break,
they are actually trying to straighten things out.

This kind of happened to me. Got the AP approval email then after 4 days got EAD approval email. Got EAD card in the mail a week after that.
And surprisingly got AP in mail a whole week after that. Looking at the AP
envelope it was postmarked after the EAD card was actually put in mail.
So it might be that your AP is on its way. But 30 days sounds a lot of
time. I would try and talk to the customer service and open a SR.

Hi Friends.
I got the pink slip 3 weeks back with one month severance. So my target was to secure the job in one month to avoid loss of pay. Finally secured the job with 3 offers from 3 top companies.
Some tips if it may be helpful to others , that I recently expereinced
1. Read your resume thoroughly and see if there are anything that you can improve and make the resume with the core skills, do not make the resume of mix of different profiles, like dba, architect, project manager, make them all seperate.
2. Try to make the submission to the direct employer or recruiter on top of the chain. You can do that finding contacts on linked in.
3. Do not compromise a lot, this makes these recruiters to think that you are vulnerable for any exploitation, (happened with me, I kicked there butt after getting selected and telling them on why did I do that)
All the best to everyone.

assuming you don't have all your I-94s and I797s,
having W-2s/paystubs for all the years is enough to prove that you have always been in status?

Friends, my EAD/AP will expire later this year along with my 8th year H-1B extension. My 140 isn't approved yet. Now, what happens if my employer wants to cut costs and says let's extend only your H-1B for now and let your EAD/AP expire? If I'm not wrong, filing for H-1B/H4 extension is cheaper than that for EAD/AP.
Specifically, these are my questions:
1. Can I extend EAD/AP on my own?
2. If I let my EAD/AP expire and continue working on H-1B, can I reinstate them (EAD and AP) at a later date in the future once my 140 is approved? In this scenario, there will be a gap between two successive EAD/APs.
Thanks.

I called them this morning and IO told me that my file has been assigned to an officer. What does this mean? Can anyone tell me?
Thanks
Why yes! Didn't you get the memo?
What this means is that somebody at USCIS probably ran out of TP at home.

Thanks you all so much for the reply! I really appreciate it!
How do I respond to the government's motion that the USCIS's decision on the adjustment of status (I485) is discretionary, so it does not fall under Mandamus? The U.S. attorneys wrote that only NATURALIZATION (but not greencard application) falls under Mandamus. Any suggestions?
I am thinking about using a different lawyer. My current lawyer only complains that he lost money on my case (I paid $2,500 lawyer fee!), but does not really care about the outcome of my case.
I will definitely check with Sheila Murthy. Any other recommendations? If you do not feel comfortable posting your lawyers' contact info. here, can you send me a private message (yingli95@gmail.com)?

Hi,
I submitted my 485 in julyEven i applied for my wife too.....we both got EAD, AP...She left to India...we have problems and we may seperate each other...So not sure when we get divorce because of outdated Indian marriage laws...Are there going to be any problems when they are adjudicating my 485 application? Her FP done and she got AP until Sep 2008...Now what will happen if USCIS sends out an FP notice for my wife...She won't be doing finger printing...Is it going effect my GC in anyway?
Your case is not simple as it seems.You need to inform USCIS as you have filed I-134 to support her and you will leagally responsible for next 10 years, but in that case you will be away from daughter.
Best to reconcile if that's possible.

I lost my passport too and panicked too much. It took a month to get the duplicate passport, you need to provide the police complaint details while applying to the duplicate passport.
I found my lost passport later :rolleyes:
Assume you have a photo copy of your wife's passport. It's very important to provide this while applying for the duplicate passport.

CIR is dead and DOS is trying to revise its VB. these two are good news from some aspects. They will help us to concentrate our focus on strategy. Here are some of my suggestions:
1) We may have limited power to speak out alone. But we can unify all groups, parties or sources which will benefit our strategy, such like business group, AILA/AILF, Ombudsman of USCIS, some media reporters and capitol hill insiders.
2) Short term strategy - To revise petition process
a) I/140 and I/485 are the continous steps of the process for imigration petition. Right now. they are broken by VB. Applicants with approved I140 should file petition right away.
b) Following Ombudsman's suggestion included in his 2007 report, we shall suggest that the visa number shall be issued within 180 days of the processing window regardless the visa number availability and conclusion of the name check. The procedure chance will significantly improve the VB predition and limit the waste of visa numbers or revision of the VB during the middle of the month.
c) Started with new fees, the application of I-485 will be a package including AP and EAD. The renewal of AP and EAD will be removed during the pending of I-485. Then following the suggestion b, we shall request USCIS to provide a case process report after 180 days indicating the status of the process if it can not be concluded within 180 days.( reasons maybe name check or visa availability). Furthermore, USCIS shall have temporary green cards for the applicants whose applications have been approved but the green cards could not be issued due to other reasons as mentioned above. and teh temporary green cards shall be renewed peroidically or be replaced by formal cards if everything is clear.
d) name check shall be concluded within a reasonable time window. Otherwise name check won't be a sense. Generally speaking, people with a longer history will take more time to complete the process and people with all documentations will take more time to complete it compared with illegal ones since they don't have any records at FBI. Also validation will be questioned if the process takes too long. If the process takes three years, so how to make sure that there is nothing during these three years? Also most of us report our status faithfully, have inspections when re-entering the states.
e) In order to avoiding wasting visas, USCIS shall have some time to complete the previous year's visa left-over, such as first 2 monthes.
3) Long term strategy- flexible visa cap according to market requirements

USCIS just went through the laborous task of processing more than 1 million applications for 485, ead, ap combined and also sending out FP notices and guess what, come Feb-march most of us will be ready to reapply for EAD and AP and USCIS has to go through the same process and this is likely to continue for next 4-5 years atleast..All USCIS wil be doing is processing EADs and AP..
Don't you guys think USCIS must be seriuosly thinking of a solution to clear this mess once and for all
Options
1) Give 3 yr ead and AP
2) As a one time thing make priority dates of all july applications only current :) (highly unlikely)
The EAD/AP renewal business is a cash cow for USCIS, and they will not do anything to jeorpardize that.;)
Result - status quo :p

1) current visa stamp has already expired, so I have to apply for a new stamp(this is the key question: how long is the visa stamp? 3-moth or only till June 30?)2) the validity of new I-797 approval notice will till 2010. I guess it will be approved next month.
My wish is the visa stamp is 3-month and then I can enter US with the new I-797 extension approval. Am I right?
As far as I know if your current visa is valid until June30 , 2007 and you go to stamping with that visa , your new stamp will only be valid until June30 , 2007. You can enter US by that date. You will probably asked proof about new extension if you travel to wards end of month. I don't think it will be valid for 3 months (say until September) even though your visa was only valid until June30.
Since your visa stamp is expired you MUST get new stamping before re-entering the US.
If you go to stamping with new extension , you will get the stamping until that date (2010).
PS: I am not an attorney , get help from an attorney when in doubt.

Another possible example here: I heard a case where one labor led to TWO green cards. My understanding this is not possible and might have happened because of the rush USCIS was approving cases.
A friend of mine got 485 approval on June 29th. He was not expecting it to be approved for a specific reason: his company applied his GC using a pre-approved labor. The original labor was with a differnet person who left the company after his 485 was pending for six months (during retrogession time). That person later joined a company and eventually got his 485 approved. Meanwhile the company applied for the I140 withdrawal and simultaneously went ahead applying for I140 and 485 for my friend (he played along since nothing worse going to happen to anyone; and he had a complicated visa situation). They were not hopeful of approval but suddenly they saw the approval on June 29th.
Who knows how many more irregularities happened there during last two weeks.
There is nothing wrong in people getting approvals on july 2nd or for that matter entire this week or this month.. That is because, eventhough people get approval notice e-mails as july 2nd or any date after that, the actual approval happened 2-3 weeks before..
For example, for most of NSC approval in june 18th week, people have indicated that there Green card physical copy showed approval as June 4th. They got approval notice, and actual green cards starting only in June 3rd week. There has been flood of approvals, at least in NSC region.. Just ask any last month GC approved person, to tell what is the date for "Resident Since" on the green card..

its good you have your backup plan. My case was very similar to yours. I had applied for my AP simultaneously with my wife. While my wife got hers in 2 months, mine was gathering dust. I had to write to the ombudsman to get some action on my case after 4 months had passed. Finally I saw a few LUDs and it turned out to be an RFE!!!! They said I didn't include photos, which clearly wasn't true. They had probably lost my photos. So I resent my photos and included the overnight envelopes. They approved my AP, but still chose to send it by USPS. Pretty aggravating.

Thanks Lazycis.
From my experience, if you file EAD/AP by yourself, all communications regarding EAD/AP will go to you. No need to file G-28. If you want all I-485 communication rerouted to you, you need to file G-28 and put yourself as a representative.
I could not find age restriction for EAD, you may try to file. However there are legal restrictions on child labor in US so I really doubt they will issue EAD for a minor (under 14 years). My friend cound not get EAD for 12 year old.
Any others suggestions from other members...
