My I485 is pending, recently I have changed my address online. I also recieved confirmation letters for this address change.
After 2 weeks of address change, USCIS issued an RFE. I have not yet received it, but I just want to prepare for this.
What could be the reason for this RFE? Is it common?
Did you move to a different state?

There is some procedure known as Follow to Join, which might be relevant to you. I personally haven't used it nor do I know anyone who has, but try looking into that.
I found this link on IV related to the FTJ topic...
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum5-all-other-green-card-issues/21256-following-to-join-timeframe.html
And I join the others who responded strongly recommending that you hire a good lawyer with experience working on FTJ cases...good luck to you and your wife.

I have the letter thay gave me and proof I did work with them.
And I guess I will start keeping news paper clips because right now everyone knows how bad the real estate market is but in 5 years or more I hope USCIS remember.

Guys, this is not an Indian site. Half the posts have word Indian in them.
I am not apologetic about being Indian but lets remain true to the IV cause
The current economic crisis has many victims. To hear about this 90 year old woman who attempted suicide is depressing too. There is a slight twist at the end, Fannie Mae forgave her debt.
http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=5957063
On a different note, what about us folks who have been on this never ending path to legal immigration for ever and such events e.g economic crisis, rising unemployement etc impact us in a huge way and we don't have any recourse. What do you guys think should the USCIS do? Should they "forgive" us our circumstances. Should there be special rules in these unforseen circumstances?
gsc999, u are very correct. What about us? Someone in us can be next victim.

I would say Canada because British Columbia has a much higher standard of living than Boston. Canada is generally a much better place for raising kids and the stress levels are lower because of freebies like health care etc. BC also has a much better weather compared to Boston.
The other reason is that you could always come to the USA from Canada later but if you lose the Canadian PR now and don't manage to get a green card in the US, you lose everything.
Hi All,
I would really appreciate everyone's honest opinions on this matter.
We filed 140 and 485 concurrently in July 2007, EB3. As of now there is no word on either application. Previously we had also obtained Canadian PR, the 3 year grace period of which will expire this August.
Not only am I faced with a decision of staying in the US or going to Canada, but my future career is on the line too. This year I will be 23. After taking my undergrad degree in electrical engineering, I have been accepted into Boston University Law School in the US as well as the University of British Columbia Faculty of Law in Canada. Canadian lawyers make around half as much as American ones after all factors are considered.
In your opinion, should I stay in the US, going to law school, in hopes that the green card will come through, or should I pursue a new life in Canada, but take the lower future salary / international renown?
This issue is currently causing much discord in my family. I hope to hear your frank opinion so that I won't take my decision lightly.
Many Thanks! :)

A 700billion$ bailout is not helping much. You think we can help the economy? We are at the mercy of the employers whose earning results are going down because of recession. :( It is hard for me to believe that we can help the economy by buying houses and how are the law makers going to get convinced? Show me the proof.

I believe that the illegal immigrant issue is the sticky whicket and that section of the legislation will be slashed and burned.
For us, I think that the House will want a reduction in EB visas. They may go for removing the dependent's counting against the quota to even it out.
Just a humble opinion. IV keep up the good work and remember, you can't please all the people all the time.

Do not forget that the nurses / ph Therapist category swallows bunch of or all of EB3 visa numbers. This category is always current and they can make this EB3 to get stuck in April 22'01 for years.
Unfortunately most of the nurses also come from India I beleive. Some come south africa and phillipines. Do we have any data on this anywhere?
if 110,786 cases are due to retro...
then these cases are either (2nd China/India, 3rd, and other workers)??
considering 140,000 visa numbers available, and other catagories being current, only portions these retro cases will get visa numbers by this year..
no hope for PD advancement???

Let�s see, Senate has so far passed Bill #2
And here are some of the bills in numerical order in which they were listed in Senate
3. Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007
4. Medicare Prescription Drug Price Negotiation Act of 2007
5. College Student Relief Act of 2007
6. CLEAN Energy Act of 2007
7. College Opportunity Act of 2007
8. Rebuilding America's Military Act of 2007
9. Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007
Also on an average it takes about 10 Business days to debate and vote on bill.
Lookup at the senate calendar (working days week offs etc)
Lets assume (when have things gone right for us?) everything goes according to the order listed above. We have 80 days of work before CIR comes to senate.
Considering that senate takes weeks off (first from Feb 19-23, second from April 2-9). I don�t see how they can start CIR before May at the latest.
Now they might say some of the bills could be a days worth of work, or not necessary bills will be taken up in numerical order etc.
But I ask you again. When was the last time we were lucky?

There has been years if not decades of abuse of US visa by most IT consulting/services companies. Eventually it reached epidemic proportions and eventually we are seeing a massive crackdown.
This is why I said 221G is a good initiative. Even if people have to suffer a little bit, full check is needed for every visa stamping and every green card application.

Thank you guys for the good wishes :)
Here is what we learned from my case, please feel wordsmith it and put it on wiki -
Some History:
My PD - Feb 2003 EB3 (140 was marked for CP)
May 2007: EB3 dates move to May 2003 - my lawyer prepared for June 1st filing of 485
June 2007: My wife's PD of April 2004 EB2 (140 was marked for AOS) becomes current - her lawyer starts preparing to file for 485.
We discussed the situation with our lawyers (but we were sure we would go with what my lawyer advices, she always gave good advice - both the law firms are very reputed and well known)
My Lawyers advice: Do not file both 485's at the same time, if the files get assigned with different alien #'s it will be very difficult to get the cases merged. Files could land up in two different physical locations etc... basically huge possibility of delays
Her Lawyers advice: We have not come across such situation, we think we should file anyways.
Our decision: File my set of 485 as we could do that on 1st June itself and apply for EAD for some relief! and not wait for July 1st (at that time we thought with was the best - better file what's current)
Interim efforts: Again discussed the situation with my lawyer as things were not moving, we discussed possibility of changing my wife's AOS application to CP - since dates became unavailable, we though we could probably capitalize on switching to CP with the hope that the files will get transferred to India, and as soon as visa #s are available we will get assigned one and called for the interview.
So we filed i824 - change request on exiting application, the request was pending all this while, we made several service requests in between. Basically it was a wasted effort, seems like USCIS officers didn't know what to do with the request.
Sept 2009: My wife's PD became current, we again prepared for filing 485 (took medical again etc).
Checked with my lawyer what needs to be done... her advice (this time both lawyers had the same advice), file 485 MAKE SURE they use the same Alien # that we got from my application.
Files on Sept 1st > Finger Printing 1st week Oct > my set of 485 files moved from Nebraska to Texas early November > 2nd set of 485's approved late November > 1st set of 485's denied based on 2nd set approval
Hope this helps!

I have been on H1B for 3000 days so far and I am still waiting for GC, (filed for 140/485 in November) and I thought I have been waiting for too long, but it looks like one of these people might actually qualify for Guinness Book.
3000 days might seem small when compared to a member's data whom I spoke with during the Sept Rally time. He has been here on a work visa since 1994 and unfortunately he had to start his greencard process several times. He was thankful that he finally got his I140 approved and filed I485 this year after such a long wait.
He was calling members and asking them to join the rally as he truly values IV and the fact that due to IV he could file his I485. I was very impressed with his dedication for IV and also felt sorry that he and his family had to endure such a long wait.

2. Section 201 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) sets an annual minimum family-sponsored preference limit of 226,000. The worldwide level for annual employment-based preference immigrants is at least 140,000. Section 202 prescribes that the per-country limit for preference immigrants is set at 7% of the total annual family-sponsored and employment-based preference limits, i.e., 25,620. The dependent area limit is set at 2%, or 7,320.
Thats in most of visa bulletins. It would require a change in law. Removing country quota is definitely not the news announcement. However, it is a very good change in the law that is required.
This is something that's doable without legislation. It would be done for employment based visas.
I've been reading the posts all day since yesterday. The most plausible "PERMANENT SOLUTION" has to be this. Please read the msg from IV
1. No change in July bulletin
2. No change in August bulletin
3. Well in that case it has to be this. It would be least controversial.

Dear All,
I am not one of the gurus who have an excellent idea about the number game! Nor am I a person who has obtained a US degree!
However, I feel that any bill which will provide more visas to the legal EB community should be supported and welcomed as this will certainly reduce the clogged line. Let us welcome and support this bill.
Again, let me add that I do not intend to support any particular group. I am only a supporter of legal immigrants!
Best wishes!

The FBI name check is not a side problem that once we finish fighting other problems, let's come back and pick up another problem. This is one of the major obstacles in the GC and Citizenship process which unfortunately is not transparent and there is no data available to tell you when you will pass this obstacle. If the attitude of some of the members in this organization is the delay in FBI name check is not going to happen to them and it is only random and a side problem, think again and watch out for what will be coming your way. By no means, this is not a side problem, this is one of those hidden obstacles that you don't know it is in your way once you hit it...and once you hit it, you are stuck. There is no congressman, senator or individual to help you. If we are going to be united and make the GC process transparent, we should not hand pick some of the problems that we want to fight today and come back to other problems later. You are going to soon realize how gigantic the delay with FBI name check is.

Important Note - I think the fine print of this bill was discussed a few days/weeks ago and the visas will actually be going to recent grads (within the past 5 years). It will in now way help the EB2's and EB3's who are waiting in line forever.
I think this is the right time to work on modifying the text of this bill. If not these GC's will be given away to people who haven't even applied yet !
