I would suggest not to risk renewing your passport in India just because you don't know if you would get stuck for some odd reason or another or not. As many have already posted on this thread - do it in the US if you have the time. I did my passport renewal from the SFO office a couple years ago and it was a simple straightforward process by mail (2-3 weeks).

Not simply because she applied for her SSN.
The EAD kicks in, once her employer fills out her I-9 using her EAD as permission to work inside the US. If she holds multiple jobs, then entering EAD into one I-9 will mean she has to ensure that she has all her I-9s from all employers updated to the EAD.
At this point, the H-1b is no longer used, but does not get cancelled (unless the employer revokes it). It just goes dormant and can be revived again by filing an extension. Another way is to go out of the country and return using the H-1b visa.
Thanks!!

You can file as many I-140's in any category (EB2/EB3/NIW) as long as you have a certified labor for a bona fide position with a matching education and company has ability to pay for those positions. These I-140's can come from one company or different ones it doesn't matter.
In your current situation:
1. Don't even think about doing anything with pending I-140 and AOS. There is a definite delay in I-140 approvals at both NSC/TSC so waiting is the best thing to do. As long as your qualification matches the LC description you will get your I-140 approved. If your I-140 is pending 30 days past the processing time and you haven't received an RFE, it might have been stuck in security check. Your lawyer needs to open a service request to find out what is going on.
2. For the labor that is expiring in Jan, go ahead and file an I-140 petition right now, there is nothing to worry about two I-140. If nothing else this petition can be used for 3 year H1B extension in case the first one gets stuck.
3. The second I-140 that you are filing can't be used for your pending AOS if your priority date is not current. Check the Pearson Interfiling memo ( from link below). If your priority dates are current and will remain current (EB2 ROW) file for an new AOS application when your second I-140 gets approved. If by this time your first I-140 is approved you can simply toss the second I-140 in the office shredder.

Thanks CanadianDream. Your words are encouraging. I will check with the lawyer. The reason we want to file another I-140 is just to safeguard the H-1B status. I am in my 5th year.
BTW, I have another question. Do they do security check for I-140 also? I never know this. I thought FBI check is only for I-485. My I-140 has been pending for 1.5 years so far. NO RFEs. Nothing. Every time my lawyer calls USCIS, they say it requires additional review and since no REFs are give, adjudication should be forthcoming.
Are there anything we can do to get the status on the security check? How long usually does it take?

Truth always hurts. It is not too much talking when I say that people can't afford to contribute 20 bucks to IV. Out of roughly 9000 members, only 200 contributed in the last contribution drive and now you should be able to do the math yourself. That is the fact and it's very troubling that 98% of the members chose to contribute nothing.
If you expect 200 people to find relief for 1 million so called high skilled immigrants present in United States, may be you need to wake up and do some reality check. Just checking IV 50 times a day for an update will not bring any relief, if that's what you are counting on. No wonder we are yet to see any relief whatsoever.
Please dont be rubbish to others. your suggestion to open another thread which make sense. BUT your contribution request and even talking their affordability to 20 bucks are too much talking.

i applied for EAD on Dec 21st, got card ordered for production email on Jan 21, and got the card via USPS 2 days ago. My PD is just few months away from May 2006 (EB2), but I still got 2 years validity (on the EAD card).
I cannot possibly imagine the fact that PD wont move even a few months when spillover begins.

I similarly applied online on Dec 20th and haven't heard anything at all. I applied online and the documents were sent to the Neb office. Can you please share your details on I765 extension filing?

ppl. working on fundraising are all the same people and unfortunately we only have 24 hours in a day just like everyone else.
Thanks to all the gurus in IV ...last week I was also being abused with these so called repos and i brought it into everyons notice....i'm so happy to see u guys taking step against them despite of ur busy schedule. thanks once again.

Thank you EB3_SEP04.
C'mon dude, i wouldn't use the word "get lost" for someone who has kept cool and putting up thoughts without using extreme/harsg words. even if you suspect the person could be from anti-immigrant group, I don't think it's appropriate to sentence someone based on suspicion.
Dear vjone, like somebody said above, there is no profession where there are no fraud people, there are fraud doctors, fraud lawyers, fraud religious leaders(are there any good ones?), fraud teachers you name it. Posts like yours are welcome, they help us remember that there could be fraud happening around you and you gotta be careful. But in case you are not immigrant and the news made you believe that the %age of such fraud people among legal immigrants is significant then let me assure you that it is not, in fact work-visa community is at the top of the list of cleanest/noble communities. Their contribution to national prosperity and keeping America is # 1 is among the highest. In a way they are the soldiers with keyboards in their hands, fighting for America.
You are more than welcome to express your thoughts as long as they are in line with the goal/mission of this site.

Hi to all,
MY I 485 RD is August 14, 2007, 180 days rule will end on 10 Feb 2008.
I am planning to use AC21 on Jan 20th itself with three weeks vacation notice to current GC filing employer to go for Contract to Hire job.
Is it safe to do?
I do maintain good relationship with current employer.
But not sure, what will be his reaction after three vacation notice ends and he comes to know I have switched job.
Also my LC as Programmer Analyst, but the new job would be Database Administrator.
Is this will be issue?
Could you advise on these questions?
Thanks to all.

** Sponsor of two IV members to attend DC rally.
Keep in mind that employer can revoke I-140 before your 180 days are up. If its just a question of a few weeks, why are you taking a chance ?

I would not recomen contacting Mr Savage. He does not appear to be the person that would help our cause.
He is openly anti-latino, openly calls for burning of mexican flag etc..
why do you think he would support legal immigration?
I'm not concerned about he being anti-latino but he is anti-immigrant he feels immigration is destroying the American Culture.
See below
These are the candid words of Michael Savage, the son of immigrants, whose love for America and trenchant insights into the leftist propaganda that threatens our way of life have made him a giant in talk radio. In this book, written in his muscular, electrifying style, Savage warns that our country is losing its identity, becoming a victim of political correctness, unmonitored immigration, and socialistic ideals: "When it comes to our culture, we're being told by liberals to let the illegal invaders as well as the legal newcomers redefine and reshape our culture into their image."

This thread is getting lost.. Lets keep this thread on top.
When you send this message please make sure you put your complete name, address, email and phone number at the bottom.. If you don't how come somebody can get in touch with us...
I agree. This is one of the easiest things we can do right now. Yes, I mentioned by name, address (along with apartment number), phone number. I did not mention my email address, as it is visible in the "from" field of the email.
However, I was thinking about this approach later. I thought it would be MUCH more effective if we could get others to write to the media/ congressmen/ senators etc... including people who already have GCs and citizenships. The more people convey their resentment to this DOS/ USCIS decision, the more effective it is.
Also, we should preferably also write letters... not just emails.
Emails is a somewhat frowned upon medium, as it is easy to abuse. Also, it is easier to simply delete an email thinking of it as spam... that is, if the email is not already blocked/classified as "spam" by the recepient's email software. (e.g. My yahoo mailbox gets tens of spam emails everyday and they are moved automatically to the spam folder.) On the other hand, it is not equally easy to ignore 1000 "letters" on the subject (preferably signed personally, but even otherwise).
But how can we get others to write letters for us?
Obviously no one will do that... but what if, I "write up" an appeal into a word doc, and email it to my friends, relatives, and colleagues in the USA who are either in the same boat (but not part of IV), or already hold GCs, or are citizens. I would explain our situation very briefly in the email... maybe with 5 bullet points. I would request that if they think what happened is wrong, the they may please write their full name & address + phone num in the space provided in the word doc, and send the document back to me by email. I print these documents and package them up and "post" (snail mail) them to the congressmen/senators and the media.
I am not suggesting I would stop writing "emails to media contacts" (or calling up/ meeting our senators). This will be in addition to that effort.
Let me know if you guys think this approach is useful... and please... if you disagree... just take it easy... don't blast me for just sharing my thoughts.
Thanks!

Why was your I140 denied after it was approved? Provide more details
What did your denial letter for I140 and I485 say?
My I-140 was never approved..
there was a first RFE for my exp letters,
and then there was an enquiry against Employer
and then RFE for A2P
and after answering A@P it is denied.
while it was pending, during July07 fiasco we applied for I-485.

Thanks all for the replies.
Here are more details.
My receipt no. is starting with WAC. I had already got transfer notice in September 2007 about getting transferred to NSC as they have juridiction over my case.
Thanks
Yep..but in typical USCIS efficiency, many cases were never actually transferred but kept at CSC, although LUDs were sent out. I know because I received the same email twice. The attorney was confused with all this and fllowed up through the AILA liasion when we came to know that many packets were prepared for shipping but were never sent (i guess NSC ran out of shelf space?) so I still think it is not a big deal and wouldn't lose sleep over it.

dpp: did you open a SR or contact USCIS that you think might have expedited your FP? Also, what was the timeline of your case Xfr from CSC back to NSC? Also, is your FP scheduled at an ASC in CA Bay area? Pleasr provide more information.
I am July 2 filer, ASC in Bay Area. My case was receipted at CSC with ND Sep 6. It was then transferred and received by NSC on Sep 21.
I then opened a service request for FP on Oct 2. On Oct 22, NSC responded that case is waiting for biometrics at local ASC. I then lost all my patience and on Nov 6 shot off a mail to ombudsman, Prakash , highlighting my details.
Subesequently, my FP notice got generated on Nov 7 and my spouse's was generated on Nov 8.
I am writing the details to highlight that for NSC_CSC_NSC filers, you definitely have to act to get FP notice, especially if you are in Bay area. You might get lucky and fet FP by waiting, but it is better to act.

You got a success story in 1 month time frame. Be happy.
The documents being asked, all are always in your hand, just keep few copies and keep sending for every H1 transfer.
Hope you are not doing H1 transfer every three months.
To make you more sad, there is a change in the process (read in murth news letter), that all the documents must be attached even if you want to make an amendment in your petition. So, you have your name misspelled, date misspelled, birth date wrong, prepare one more set of documents for that too.
Thank you.I just waned to let others knows about that you have to give two weeks notice to your current employer and join the new employer which is not possible according to the new system.Also there are lot of denials and you are not sure about the H1 is goint to get approved.At this point of time I don't think it is a better idea to start working for a company with out getting approval.Because you won't get more than one offer at this time.Also your previous employer may not want you be back.

You can file appeal your I-140 denial and based on the appeal, you can get your 9th year extension. As long as appeal is filed and pending, you can extend your H1B. This is what I heard.

“It has been an intractable wall we have been chipping away at for years, but this time, we feel they are convinced that there is a sound social security sytem in India,” the official said. If India succeeds in formalizing the pact, it will be only the second Asian country after South Korea to do so. Once signed, the US President will have to report the deal to the Congress with a report on the estimated number of individuals affected and its effect on the Social Security fund’s flows.
I don't think that India has any system comparable to social security so far. I wish they develop some kind of system though.

Hi there,
What a rationale you are using. So then "kids should not suffer" and then the answer is yes, go ahead and reward those who broke laws with an amnesty. That would make their 19 old kids very soon able to apply for I-485 to bring in their parents as well. The USCIS does not have enough cases left from the 245(i) amnesty to be processed ahead of the legal folks, right? Pump up few more MILLION Dream Act amnesty cases there and let us know how you do. What a slap on the face of those who played by the rules? Moreover, are you going to apply your kindness to the 1 billion of people who want to come here? I agree children should not suffer. How about a feasible solution? Here it is :So why don't you write to the Congress of respective countries these kids came from and make them repatriate their folks and provide government employment and a reintegration program back home for those kids? Yes, that is technically doable. That would solve the situation of their children and more importantly, it would be a clear message that parents should not expose their children to this situation.
Think about the absurdity of this Dream Act and your line of thought;it just encourages more parents to come here illegally and bring their children here "to suffer", making us, the legal folks and citizens of this country pay for it unfairly. No, thank you! I came here on H1B and my children is not eligible for in-state tuition. If we start playing this game that people who jumped the fence and now can take advantage of it because they were "smart, so it would be time to rename this country name from USA to Mexico. Believe me, I don't think that is going to happen without a good fight though. Trust me.
Bill Gates did a good job today in his speech. What is fair is fair. Now trying to come up with this Dream Act thing and again we the legal folks would be pushed to the back of the line. You guys don't get it. Every time something goes around, it comes to hurt whoever plays by the rules. Coming from India and other *#&#$ places and being educated and after observing what that freaking 245(i) and other amnesties have done to us, I am surprised you still do not get it. Yes, count on me to write to the US Congress. I will write to denounce this absurd Dream Act and ask them to adopt a fair immigration system to the legal employment base greencard applicants. For the children, I will urge them to adopt the proposed and feasible solution of charging the government of the respective countries to reintegrate and support their own children. Win-Win situation for everyone.
If you have a perception that I am pissed off, you are a winner.
Thanks,
Tito
Let us get opinion of others on this. Should we write to law-makers to address this issue. Atleast these kids should not suffer. If they have got their most of the education here in US, they should be be given permnent residence before they go to college.

Believe me, I don't think that is going to happen without a good fight though. Trust me.
Bill Gates did a good job today in his speech. What is fair is fair. Now trying to come up with this Dream Act thing and again we the legal folks would be pushed to the back of the line. You guys don't get it. Every time something goes around, it comes to hurt whoever plays by the rules. Coming from India and other *#&#$ places and being educated and after observing what that freaking 245(i) and other amnesties have done to us, I am surprised you still do not get it. Yes, count on me to write to the US Congress. I will write to denounce this absurd Dream Act and ask them to adopt a fair immigration system to the legal employment base greencard applicants. For the children, I will urge them to adopt the proposed and feasible solution of charging the government of the respective countries to reintegrate and support their own children. Win-Win situation for everyone.
If you have a perception that I am pissed off, you are a winner.
Thanks,
Tito
Let us get opinion of others on this. Should we write to law-makers to address this issue. Atleast these kids should not suffer. If they have got their most of the education here in US, they should be be given permnent residence before they go to college.
