Just a quick update
Today my checks got cashed and from the back of the checks I got the receipt numbers. I was able to track these numbers on USCIS site and the EAD application for myself and my wife is now pending at TSC.
So the mailing address to Mesquite, TX turned out to be the correct location for me to file...

How about Mexico? I saw some notes on tavle.state.gov (Mexico (http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_970.html)), which says -
"As of May 1, 2010, non-U.S. citizens with valid U.S. visas may enter Mexico with the U.S. visa, and do not have to obtain a Mexican visa. "
No visa required with GC. But, since I only had my AP, they asked me to get a Mexican visa ($36). The above rule must be new (no visas needed with non-immigrant US visas).

If DOS has set the priority date for EB2 India to Jun 2006, and USCIS does not want to waste visas, they have no other choice but to forward the processing dates at NSC/TSC. Even though the 485 processing dates may not move significantly in much awaited July Processing dates publishing, the August Processing dates bulletin will show the massive forward movement (485 processing date will reach till June 2006).

My company laid me off in one day without thinking a H1B guy has to leave the country immediatley. I asked them to buy my car, furniture and appartment lease as an obligation for fair value. ...
This is important information. Is it really true that a company laying off an H1 employee is under the obligation to buy all his household stuff, car, apartment lease etc.? If this is correct, we must share this information with others. In this economy lots of H1 guys are getting laid off. Many are selling their cars at distress values. They can benefit from this information.

Personally I do think giving this 55,000 annual quota green cards to employment-based Science & Medicine immigrants is better than giving DV-lottery to other lucky people just win the lottery but without any high educational qualification. Also, since international students have stayed in US for long years and they have documents such as social security no. and driver licenses' to run the comprehensive background check. Therefore, it minimizes a lot of the risk to invite the criminals to immigrate.
However, I am curious whether this bill will be beneficial to all US advanced graduates in Science & Medicine or not. I know some new H-1B workers in those advanced degrees may NOT be the EB-type and they need to wait for certain years and then the employers will sponsor them green cards as the EB-category. And if the employers don't sponsor them green cards due to companies' merging different departments or for other accidental reason, they will lose their green cards.
Also, some advanced graduates in Science & Medicine cannot get the H-1B working visa smoothly due to H-1B quota is full and need to leave US and some of them can't get the
H-1B extension and need to leave US. Or some of them got laid off during their employment period due to merge of 2 companies and if they can't find another employer, they need to leave US too.
Therefore, if they can't get into the EB category, this bill cannot help them out!! Personally I do think if to allow all those advanced graduates in Science & Medicine to enroll online by "first come, first served basis" and once the 55,000 quota is filled, then they need to wait for the next year to immigrate. This will be fair and can retain all those US advanced gradudates in Science & Medicine who are graduated in different years with different luck to get the H-1B working visa.

Exactly.
Chances are Obama never even saw your letter, his office has an aide who has a saved format of this letter which is printed out with your name and adressed.
But keep writing and keep calling. They might listen.
Its called a form-letter.
The staff writes those.
They use the same letter and change the name and address of the constituent and copy-paste the generic position on immigration.
That is the reason you are seeing a letter that casts a wide net on immigration issues, like border security, illegals, etc. etc. The staff would send out the same letter to all constituents who are writing for or against immigration or any issue related to immigration.
All lawmakers have staff who repond to communication from constituents and 99% of the time, you get a form-letter response...the one-size-fits-all letter. The audacity of form-letters. ;)

I dont think you need to be worried. my friend( Came to US in 2003 after working in offshore with the same company for 2 years, but his company filed his GC only in 2006) got this interview in March 2008, they reviewed all his papers(W2's, Birth Certificate,all Employment letters) and said that its ready to go when PD becomes current. His PD is 2006 March ( Perm),EB3, I 140 Approved , and now he is waiting for his dates to become current to get the GC. His case is pre-adjudicated and is ready to be released as per USCIS. His attorney didnt go for the Interview.
One of friend attend the interview in Feb. 2008 his PD is Dec2006 EB2,they asked him his birth certificates,W2,recent pay slips proof for his current employment, after the interview they told him that your case has been approved but you need to wait until your PD gets current.

It is true that the community colleges(A) and Arizona board of regents(B) set the guidelines but they have to follow Arizona Statutes which state that people with lawful immigration status are entitled to instate tuition. Therefore if (A) and (B) are not on the same page one could raise questions.
I am providing below the statutes as well as what the Arizona Board of Regents say. It appears that the Board of Regents do not provide clarity on the issue. I think one could force the issue and demand that they be given instate tuition as provided by the Arizona statutes and Board of Regents Interpretation.
In fact GC Card Dream should file an appeal to the Board of Regents as provided in their policy. Adding that community colleges allow H-1B's to avail of instate tuition would help get a decision in your favor.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the Arizona law for instate tuition -
Here is the link to all the statutes -
http://www.azleg.state.az.us/ArizonaRevisedStatutes.asp?Title=15
Go to chapter 14 to see statutes for education -
The applicable statutes are -
15-1803. Alien in-state student status
.....................
B. In accordance with the illegal immigration reform and immigrant responsibility act of 1996 (P.L. 104-208; 110 stat. 3009), a person who was not a citizen or legal resident of the United States or who is without lawful immigration status is not entitled to classification as an in-state student pursuant to section 15-1802 or entitled to classification as a county resident pursuant to section 15-1802.01.
........................
15-1805. Student status guidelines
A. The Arizona board of regents shall adopt guidelines applicable to all institutions under their jurisdiction that will ensure uniform criteria to aid the institutions in determining the tuition status of any student and that will establish uniform procedures for review of that status.
B. Community college districts shall adopt policies applicable to all institutions under their jurisdiction that will ensure uniform criteria to aid the institutions in determining the tuition status of any student and that will establish uniform procedures for review of that status.

Now here is the link to the Arizona Board of Regents
http://www.abor.asu.edu/1_the_regents/reports_factbook/residency.html
What is the resident status of immigrants, refugees and international students?
A noncitizen with a visa that prohibits establishing a domicile in Arizona during any portion of the durational period may not be granted resident status. Other noncitizens may qualify for resident status by meeting all requirements for residency outlined previously, or having been granted refugee status and meeting all other requirements for domicile.
---The above should be read with the definition of domicile in the statutes
15-1801. Definitions
In this article, unless the context otherwise requires:
....
3. "Domicile" means a person's true, fixed and permanent home and place of habitation. It is the place where he intends to remain and to which he expects to return when he leaves without intending to establish a new domicile elsewhere.
...............
and the actual Arizona Board of Regents policy as a pdf document
http://www.abor.asu.edu/1_the_regents/policymanual/chap4/chapter_iv.htm
4-102 Nonresident Tuition (PDF)
As required by A.R.S. �15-1803, a person who is not a citizen or legal resident of the United States or who is without lawful immigration status is not entitled to classification as an in-state resident.
I don't think the state is involved, but its the institution that makes its own set of rules. All the community colleges in the state of Arizona accepts both H and L status as proof of residency.

Firstly, i would like to thank you for replying to my question. Please find the below email sent by my lawyer today:
As per our conversation, attached are the two lists that you can review.
Starting from November 1st *Onet has changed the positions for software professionals, please find information below according to *Onet http://online.onetcenter.org/
There are no EB2 positions available for the Software professionals, only EB3 positions are available. However as we discussed earlier if the company has a business necessity and are able to produce the documents for the business necessity you can file the case under EB2, which is still beyond the requirement according to Labor Department.

I am going to India for couple months and plans to return back on AP.I am planning to get my passport Renewal in India.Is it OK to Renew in India as it shows my India address.
Thanks In advance
I think its easier to get the PP renewal done in US as it can be done via mail.
But i think its equally easy to get it done in India. I got my passport renewed within a week in India just last month. There is a 'Tatkal Service' for passport and you can apply under that and get your passport renewed very quickly.
One thing though, if you change your address on Passport, then it may go for police verification, but if nothing chnages on ur passport, you can get it back quickly in using Tatkal...hopefully within 1 week like i did.

Dear gcnotfiledyet,
Thanks for your comment.I am afraid you mis understood what I said medicine and pharnact vet med etc. There are practitioners in these fields called MD, DVM, PHARM D etc. However there are many more PhD students who do research in these fields. And they are not listed as STEM graduates. I guess whoever did this listing of the STEM majors don't really have much knowledge about various fields of research and also they ignored the highly multidisciplanary nature of the current day research. I hope more people will start taking this issue seriously.

It is very comprehensive list. It covers every field. Graduates of pharmacy, medicine, vet medicine etc are not PhDs. They have to go through special programs to get that degree.
thanx for your reply. However I am afraid you misunderstood pharmacy, medicine, vet med PhDS with practice professionals PharmD, MD,DVM.The people who made the list of STEM have ignored the fact that Research is highly interdisciplinary. This is unfair for many researchers in biology who should be in the STEM majors but they are not in just because of technical/clerical reasons. I request you all to take a look at this anomaly.
