What makes you think in this Direction ?
looks like they will make us wait till 17th and accept/reject case from July 2nd...and most of the rejected cases might not be eligible to refile :mad:...this is my guess!

Me too getting worried about my wife's status...
Good thing is she had this issue when transferring H1 Visa when she was out of status for few months and she had to go to home country for stamping (explaining IO the situation where she was out of status) and came back on status...and she was on status till date.
One more thing is , the status will be counted from the last date of entry to US . If this is the case, I do not have any problem on my wife's status.
If your wife has maintained her status since she last visted US, may be going for H1 stamping and coming back to US, this should not matter..and more over she filed 485 as your dependent.
This is what my understanding is with respect to maintaing status....Let me know if this is not correct

I agree with sri1309. This is very very scary time. We need a special attention right now. Right now no one is sure that he will have his job tomorrow.
We need to send a letter to Obama, Homeland Security Secretary and Ombudsman. Someone can take a lead to prepare a letter and that letter should be approved by IV.
It is really important for us to take a decison by IV core because this is really a very bad time.
Thanks in advance.

did you provide social security number? temporary license can be issued only if you do not provide social security number.
Yes, they take all copies - SSN, I797, passport everytime the license has to be renewed. More frustrating thing is they only issue a paper license which is valid only for 30 days and the card is mailed in 3-4 weeks from Tallahassee (State capital) after they perform immigration & background check. This paper license can't be used for ID purposes.

Hi Friends,
My PD is Mar, 2005 filed under EB2. Me & My wife got an RFE asking status for a particular period [like May 01, xxxx to Feb xxxx]. These dates exactly fall under just one month before graduation to OPT expiration.
For my case �.. no issues providing evidence and everything is straight forward.
But for my wife �.we have some issue (I think)
USCIS wants her status from May 01, 2003 to Mar 01 2006.
She graduated on May 23, 2003. She used 60 days grace period before applying for EAD.
OPT from July 31, 2003 to July 30, 2004 [exactly one year and was looking for job�didn't find one]
We filed H1B in April, 2004 so that she can start working from Oct, 2004 [H1B approved for Oct 2004 to Sep 2007 ..extension approved too�]
But No status from July 31, 2004 to Sep 30, 2004 [USCIS issued a gap relief for all the F1 students like this]�.
What are odds that her case might we rejected�any opinions here.
Thanks,
Jingi

Immigrant petition was filed only for me. However, AoS has been filed for the entire family. So in my opinion the answers to three questions sholuld be 1 - No, 2- No, 3- Yes.- Would that be Correct?
Since the primary applicant of form I-539 is my wife, i wasn't sure if there should be a mention of my immigrant petition when describing the circumstances on a separate sheet of paper. Should I add receipt number of form I-485 or attach a copy of the form as support documents?
Thanks!
Once you file I-485 it is as good as filing an Immigrant petition. So your Answer will be 'Yes' for Everyone who has applied for I-485.

Hi, I am in exactly the same situation. Would just the I-140 receipt number suffice? My employer also hasn't given me any copies of the I-140 and labor certification copies. My I-140 is approved and it's been more than 180 days since I-485 filing..please advise.
I am planning to change jobs using the EAD / AC-21 in the next couple of months. To start off the process I wanted to get all the approval notices from the lawyer so that I have all the documents in place before I change jobs.
My employer uses a popular law firm to handle the immigration filing etc. I sent an email to the lawyer asking them to send me a copy of the I-140 approval notice.The lawyer responded that according to my company's internal policy they will not provide me a copy of the I-140 approval notice.
I would like to know the following -
1) Has someone else also faced a similar issue ?
MANY PEOPLE ARE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION.
2) If so , is there a way to get them to send me a copy of th 140 approval notice
NO - EXCEPT IF THEY HAVE A CHANGE OF HEART (GOOD LUCK FINDING LAWYERS WITH HEARTS!)
3) Does the employer by law have the authority to restrict the distribution of the 140 approval notice
THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE SAY.
4) Do I need the 140 approval notice in order to use EAD/AC-21 to change jobs ?
IT'S GOOD TO HAVE IT AS A REFERENCE, ESPECIALLY IF THERE ARE 'REQUEST FOR EVIDENCE' IN THE FUTURE. IN ANY CASE, AFTER 180 DAYS OF 1-485 FILING, AND IF YOUR 1-140 IS ALREADY APPROVED, EVEN IF YOUR EMPLOYER REVOKES THE 1-140 IT DOESN'T IMPACT YOUR ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS APPLICATION.
AS A SIDENOTE - IN ALL LIKELIHOOD YOUR LAWYERS WOULD HAVE INFORMED YOUR EMPLOYER THAT YOU WERE ASKING FOR I-140 RECEIPT, THEREBY SENDING A SIGNAL TO YOUR EMPLOYER THAT YOU MAY BE JUMPING THE SHIP SOON!
Thanks
ALL THE BEST!

Before posting this did you even think that the ship may be crossing international waters and US immigration laws may not hold good in that region? Were you not too quick to judge one's competency?
Don't you think the person going on a cruise should make an effort to check this out with the cruiseline?
Many of you have probably been to niagara falls and been on the boat that takes you close the falls. If the boat by mistake goes even an inch over the canada side of the water, they will check your passports and visas before letting you into US side.:D

[QUOTE=Can2004;227413]Hi All,
I used to commute across the border from Canada to work(on h1b) between 2004 and 2006. My passport was stamped just the first time and never after that.
In 2006 we moved to US by road and started living here. Haven't left States since then. Our passports were checked as usual but not stamped at the border although the U-Haul I was driving was inspected and our luggage and other stuff was inspected too.
Now I have received a RFE from USCIS on our pending I- 485's that were filed last August. They want us to prove that our last date of entry was indeed what we have entered in the I-485 form.
Any suggestions on how to respond to this RFE.
I would suggest to take a letter from your employer saying that you reported to work the following day. Also show any purchases you made after coming back here like credit card bills. Any lease paperwork and checks that you were paying rent or mortgage. These are just few ideas . But do check with your attorney as they are in better position to respond.
I also did my PR landing in canada and when returning back next day I was not given any new I-94 nor the I-94 was stamped because I was returning within 30 days. But I have not gone back to canada after that and have given up the canada PR because I wanted to pursue the US PR here.

So here are three more from the same "session" last evening which do include some foreground framing/interest. (slight adjustments on these to levels, color, etc. no cropping though)
Enjoy,
KAC
Number 3 is by far the better pic to my mind. Re: Destroying your cloud....
yeah, just playing with some new scatter brushes that I didn't have control over yet :D...was aiming more for something like your pic 3 above.
In cases where there is no natural framing (Flora, fauna, dock posts, etc etc), on a sunset shot you can use people (silhouttes) to add elements of interest. Or maybe shoot from ground level; just suggestions and it's always fun to experiment with these things.

We are in the same boat. I am the primary and mine has been Xfrd to field office in VA where as my wife's 485 has been xfrd to MO. I called up customer support and they said it is normal to transfer across field offices.
Many say when the 485 is transferred to a field office there could be an interview.
Usually the interview will happen to closest local USCIS office to your address on 485. Even if the case is sent to an office which is miles away from where you live it wont matter as the case-file will be sent to the closest local office for the purpose of interview. Just go prepared with all documents and be calm. There is nuthing to worry :)
Documents one shall carry
-Employment Letter from current as well as past employers
-W2 for last 3 or more years
-Pay Stub last X month (take as many as you have-wont hurt)
-Should know job title of Labor alongwith details and should be able to relate that to day-to -day job duties if asked by officer.
-Marriage Certificate
-Husband Wife shall be in Synch (will be if the marriage is REAL :) ) while asnwering questions about when did you meet, how did you get married, when did you came to us together, where do you live etc. etc.
-140 approval copy
-H1b petition copy or copies for both primary and secondary applicant
-Should remember Last entry date (entry into US)
-They will ask if you took any kind of money in welfare etc rom government or any other agency in US
-They will ask 4-5 questions which I think are from form 485 . Here is the link, look at part 3
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-485.pdf
I will post more questions if I can recall something later.........
Cheers

I have recently changed my job using AC21. My new employer has filed H-1B transfer and I also had two years of EAD
While filling up the I-9 form I have used EAD alien #, when I checked the emplyer HR they said that I-9 stays in the office and they do not send its copy to USCIS so my question is how USCIS knows that whether I am on EAD or H-1 B ?
Can I treat myself on EAD and H-1B both
Thanks for your response...
