this is also assuming that you have filed for your 485. you cannot apply portability with:
approved labor + approved I140
you can only move to another employer with:
approved labor + approved I140 + pending 485

I am in the same situation with H1/H4 extension receipt dates of Dec 21,2006. My current H1 and wife's H4 are expiring in June 2007. I dont think the H4 will be approved before Apr 2007. My company wont sponsor for premium processing neither its allowing me to pay for it. Can we just file for H4 to H1 under regular processing and submit the H4 extension approval once we get it approved. I am sure it will take them atleast 5-6 months to process regular H1 filings. Can more documentation be submitted to USCIS based on the receipt notice without them asking for it. I am just worried incase her H1 is approved without an attached I-94. It's a nightmare to go for stamping back home. Any suggestions/views?

Why shud he call the anti immigrant by that filthy word when all or most of what that guy conveyed with his post are nothin but pure facts. There r hundreds of gultis doing all sorts of illegal stuff in the name of immigration without any shame. Theres a saying that goes like..."If u tell someone as it is, he protests and kicks on ur chest" which seems very appropriate here.
I remember, you were the one to fuel fight between Andhrites and others. You were also active on threads on Muslims vs others.

You need to also correct your fake profile if you want anyone to take you seriously.

Got the approval notice today :) "Welcome to the United States of America" - ironically i have been in this country for a decade now! finally the "welcome" :)
It has been a very long journey!!! and a very frustrating one for the last few years... but the feeling that I now get is really liberating... first thing I did was thanked God for ending the seemingly endless wait that me and my wife (she didn't care as much) were in.
I'm already thinking of the things I want to do after this new found liberation... it includes showing the middle finger to those who have taken undue advantage of my status :cool: :D and i'm not taking it anymore... I'll be a new person starting Monday!
Just so there is no confusion... my PD was Feb 2003 EB3 but my wife's PD was EB2 April 2004... we got our freedom through her application. If anyone needs more info on how/what/when - i can share that (it had its up's and downs - mainly downs, but all's well that ends well)!
Lastly as a token of my real support to the cause of IV I will be donating a small amount. I have donated in the past... I have participated in conversations in the past... I was not so active on other fronts but I truly believe in this organizations effort to help the community. And God willing each one of you will get this freedom soon! God Bless!
Many congratulations..enjoy your freedom and don't forget IV ! :-)

Raju, true indeed.....
I have noticed for several cases in here, where all the 3 applications are sent to the california service center....and CSC processes the EAD and AP and forwards the 485 app. back to NSC / TSC for further processing. The positive thing is that CSC is quick in processing AP/EAD....thus in a way this situation can prove to be lucky for all those whose applications are forwarded from NSC to CSC.
I believe USCIS is trying to comlete the receipting job from all the Service centres.
so you wont be sruprised if folks started reporting their receipt numbers start with EAC (for Vermont).
Let USCIS do their job of receipting everyone who filed in July-Aug 2007.
Ultimately processing will be done at USCIS NSC and TSC for I-140 and I-485 due to their bi-specialization program.
So no worry be happy...Support IV

well..I have been waiting for my labor certifcation to get certfied for too long. just after Sep 11 I applied both for US GC and Canadian PR. My wife also applied for her GC. meanwhile her GC moved to regional when suddenly DOL thought it was time to regroup and there it went into BPC. In the meantime we got canadian PR some 2 years ago but we did not move thinking that we have jobs here.Then she got pregnant and lot of complications ( premature labor) and during those complications her company got acquired by another bigger firm who thought they don't need her..and result was job loss plus GC into the trash....meanwhile my labor certification even after 5 years was still sleeping in EB3 category(PD Oct, 2001) when i still have Masters( god knows why my lawyer put into that category)..Now my canadian PR was set to expire in march, 2007..so I thought i should decide fast..and i applied for jobs..and I got offer in vancouver with moving expenses paid from califronia..It has been the toughest decision because my employer is Indian here in california..and I have had good growth(10% average) but not the way I had wanted..I guess he also exploits..Indian exploiting another Indian..because they know I am not going anywhere..plus we work hard.. I asked him to match what was being offered in vancouver..and he started converting CAD into USD..well..it is not fair..So I have decided to heck with US and the Employer..and move on...at least I can come back..it is not an easy move because my son being premature child had lot of free facilities in california..hopefully he will get the same in Vancouver until he gets to 3 years ..and then it stops..
I have been in this country too long..and I guess one should settle down rather just wait for them to give GC...reading the other post about one lady whose EAD card got expired just tells me that how inconsistent this GC process can be and right until the end...
Anyway that is all for now

MrWaitingGC,
My H1B is valid till April of 2008. When i went for vacation and entered the country in March 2007, the guy at the border patrol did some mistake and put the date on I-94 as 16th sep of 2007 instead of April 2008.
Your status is governed by the I-94 date and not by the visa expiration date.
I tried to get it corrected at the local CBP office but could not do it ... So i am planning to make a trip to Canada before my visa stamp expries to get a new I-94 which is valid till April 2008.
But since i have sent my passport for renewal, i am not sure if I can make the trip bfr my I-94 expires.
And also i am not sure if i can file for extension of my H1B as it is more than 6 months ( it is about 10 months early) before the expiration date on my current H1B.
You can file for H1 extension 6 months BEFORE STATUS EXPIRY date (16 Sep 2007), so you are ok and while extension is pending you can continue to work for the H1 employer upto 240 days. You should get new I-94 with the H1 extension approval notice. You don't need new H1 visa stamp until you travel out of USA.
At this point i am helpless with out my passport. I hope i get it soon.
So what i wanted to find out is, is my status still legal after 16th sep 2007 if i file my 485 ...
Like stated earlier, as long as your employer files for H1 extension before Sep 16th 2007, you are ok.
See above in Blue.

Not to single you out, but why aren't people from the West willing to attend the rally?
1. Too much workload (cannot afford to take even 1 day off)
2. Cannot afford flying into DC, accomodation, etc.
3. I didn't attend the SJ rally, what will they say if I attend the DC rally;)
4. DC Rally is a waste of time, I do not support it
5. I don't have to have a green card, I can live without it, for the next 10 years!
6. I am happy to eat the fruit of someone else's hardwork, I don't want to put in any hardwork myself

1. Oh come on, how do you then keep browsing IV for so many hours?

5. Great... maybe you should ask your spouse and children too... how long do you want them to go through all that they go through... because of your temporary status
6. I envy you... for I cannot even imagine thinking like you! But please at least thank IV when you receive the fruit of its hardwork!

CNN-IBN,NDTV to major part , Indian express, Hindu ,Times group to some part work for certain elements outside India(West,Arab,Communism as far as I know) and a certain family(ies) within India.
So don't worry about the quality of their news .It may look like they are influencing the society but even they don't have such power and they are not everything.So we don't have to let our minds be consumed with disappointment,anger. Instead we should focus on what we can do to improve things with whatever resources we have.
Least you could do is not visit those sites.
Prannoy Roy of NDTV is half Indian and is married to Prakash Karat's(communist) wife's sister.
Rajdeep Sardesai of CNN-IBN is a classic example of Macaulian Indian and he has connections with Prannoy Roy of NDTV which goes way back to his stint with NDTV.
As we know there was split in old Indian express .Shekhar Gupta 's Indian express works for Gandhi family though it may not be so obvious some times.
Express buzz the other part of the old Inidan express ,rediff are some of the news site(s) that are somewhat better.
So yes things are bad but are not that bad either.
Indian media was also kind of all over the place about the White House Diwali celebrations and American media totally ignored it.
I have a feeling this media war on everything that's Hindu is like passing cloud.Also it's understandable especilly when the power centres ruling India are western.
Look at the abrupt change in A.P political scenario when the govt's eyes,hands got so greedy, long that they got to the treasures of the sacred religious,spiritual centers. I read somewhere A.P govt was working on this master plan of selling the Tirumala treasures as govt coffers were empty what with distribution of free money to people, and all other kinds of corruption.
A wave always recedes before it makes that huge jump.

They just added the following as well:
07/11/2007: July 2007 EB 485 Filers, Please Keep the Original of Supporting Documentation
The potential drawback of filing EB-485 during July is the currently unanswered question of "what happens if the rejected applications are not returned for months and if visa number becomes current for him or her in October 2007?" At this time, no one knows how many EB-485 applications have been received by the Service Centers since July 2, 2007. Additionally, there is no way to find out how many more applications they will receive during the next 20 days. Obviously, the number of filings must have slowed down lately as affected by the AILF that they will seek certification from the court to include certain non-filers as members of the class action. Still, the number may turn out to be quite substantial by the end of July. No one knows when the "hold order" will be lifted and how long it will take to process rejection notices and mailings in the future.
Under the USCIS policy, the applicants are not required to submit any "original" evidence for filing of applications and petitions. It will thus be prudent that people may not want to submit original documents "other than medical report" as part of the supporting documentation to the EB-485 applications. Please keep original documents safe against the future need for refiling of the EB-485 applications in the future.
07/11/2007: Sources of Rumor of USCIS Potential Reverse of July 2007 485 Applications Rejection
There has been going around a rumor lately that the USCIS was internally discussing retreat from the 485 rejection decision. It appears that this rumor probably started from the USCIS HQ order over the Texas Service Center to hold all the July 2007 EB-485 applications abeyanbce and not to return the applications to applicants. Unconfirmed sources indicate that because of the order, the Texas Service Center is not returning the EB-485 applications which have been received since July 2, 2007. However, there is no evidence that the decision is necessarily related to its potential decision to withdraw the rejection decision. At this point, its reasons are completion unknown. Please stay tuned.You sure abt this. I could not find it @immigration-law. Can you post the link here ?

I have sold a house in US while being physically in India. All you need to do is give a notarized affidavit to your Realtor and you don't need to be on the closing table. There is always a solution to worst case scenarios. Dude do some googling and you'll know what I am talking about.
You need to live in that house for at least 5 years to recoupe the commision/closing cost. Will you pay the loss if someone needs to sell the house suddenly due to immigration.

You can apply for extension. Fees are not applicable for extension of status. If it involves status transfer e.g H4 to H1, then you need to pay the fees. I extended my wife, and daughters status just by filing the paper work and got the new I-94.
I did a blunder by not renewing my passport and travelled to India in August 2007, while returning to US , CBP officer in Chicago issued my I94 only till the expiration of Passport , which is March 2008 . My VISA was valid till Jan 2010
I tried to argue but no use his quote "You can not stay in this country with expired passport" as if there is definitive rule
Irony is I travelled to Canada in July 2007 and at that time my I94 was issued till Jan 2010 . It depends on the officer .
Moral of the Stroy "Renew your passports as soon as you can"
I went to Chicago airport after renewing my passport to renew my I94 , but the officer bluntly denied and asked me to visit USCIS local office . Again just few months back my friend was able to change his I94 in the same airport , looks like I m not that lucky
I contacted my Lawyer on the situation and he suggested either to apply for I94 extension with CIS or travel to Canada . Applying with CIS with 300$ fee doesnt make much sense to me so I decided to fly to Canada and got my new I94 -- Yahoooo atlast valid till Jan 2010
Again in the Tornoto airport officer offered me to keep the same I94 as I did not leave US for more than 30 days , After few scary moments I requested that I needed the new I94 and explained my situation and got it.

Check this article at:

At the bottom they made the following completely ignorant statement:
"The State Department said the employment visa numbers are no longer available because resources are being used to reduce the backlog of passport applications."
So much for media taking this seriously...
Isn't this a lie? Didn't the release from the State Department say that the reason was sudden backlog reduction efforts from USCIS? Why do they have to lie about this?
They may think that once they mention that they were doing this for the sake of Americans, they could get away with it. NO WAY!
We should let the media, esp. this station, know the truth.
Outrageous! :mad:
