Thanks for the reply. I am planning to maintain a address at location where my LCA belongs to. I want to know If I work for say 4-5 months from India on US payroll will there be any issues on reentering US?

So basically you are cheating the system? correct me if i am wrong.

My problem with these hearings is that they play soccer with the interests of immigrants. There are pro and anti immigrant views in discussion.

Enforcement is all about closing the borders and deporting immigrants. But why do we not see hearings to discuss and introduce bills that fine the employers and put them in jail if they hire an undocumented? But nobody, not even the anti-immigrant groups are pushing for such a bill. A lot of undocumented problem will be solved if employers cannot hire undocumented. We call immigrants as illegal, but why can't we use the same standard for employers who illegally hire undocumented?

Secondly when they talk about legalization and path to citizenship, there is no country limits for them. But as soon as we talk about removing country limits in front of the same people, we hear talks about diversity etc.

The same people who favor legals in such discussions, become anti-legal when they have a chance to do something for legals. Why a simple bill like recapture not introduced by these same people till now?

Overall Immigration is more about politics, votes than actually solving a problem. If these folks are serious about fixing a problem, a lot could have been done till now. We need to hear more action than just talk.
Pappu, I can't agree with you more....

VERY WELL SAID!

Me too.

I use IE 7.0

I live in bayarea. If we have't found enough people from LA, i can drive to LA.
If more people wants to join documentary efforts from bay area , we all can car pool together.

I dont have any changes to status when I check my 485 case status online but today in the mail i received I797c notice welcoming me as a premenant residence. I am a bit hesitant to celebrate, but am I seeing green?:o

EB2- India [ Oct 2005 @ NSC]
485 filed Aug 2007

what do you want? President Bush to come home and welcome you with hugs and kisses? A ticker tape parade? A band? 45 skimpily clad, extremely beautiful cheerleaders dancing and singing: "he got a G, he got a C, he got a GC!"?

you got an approval notice, you are through. enjoy man. :cool:

I missed the opportunity in July 2007 and would like to file for EAD.

Does replying to RFE along with all required documents means GC is coming soon ??

Augustus..did you get GC yet ?

Thanks


My husband too replied to the RFE. So far, there has been only case resumed message. I am not sure if this kind of RFE will result in a Green Card. I pray that we all get our cards soon. I feel we have all given our share of sacrifices and played it fair and square so far.

It may be better to contact Judy Woodruff, who is driving this whole program at Yahoo. I remember seeing Judy as a former CNN anchor (quite a prominent one).

Judy may be the link to other possibilities for IV.

Pappu?

I am in the same boat as you, PM ed you, please reply

Hi,

First some background.
EB2I PD is July 2006
I140 filed Sept. 2006 and approved Oct 2006 with Company A.
Left Company A and joined Company B in March 2007 (172 days after I140 approved).

Filed I485 in July 2007 (Medical RFE received and answered in 2009 - implies possible pre-adjudication??)

While with Company B started new EB2I process for a similar job profile (lawyer thinks it is close enough for portability) with PD Oct. 2008. I140 approved June 2009.

With current rapid movement in EB2 cut-off dates, if I become current in Sept 2010 what is best course of action to ensure I receive and keep the GC that is based on application sponsored by Company A?

1. If I get GC, just keep working for Company B (lawyer thinks this is just fine to do).
2. If I do get current in Sept 2010, try to capture PD of first application and use for application sponsored by Company B?
3. Get the GC and move back to company A?
4. Any other options??

Thanks for your time.

I assume, You will have to report the income earned through foreign sources only if you are not paying taxes overseas. To get a better clarification, just consult a CPA

One has to pay taxes on worldwide income if filing taxes as US resident. He/she can deduct foreign taxes paid as credit. It does not matter if income is taxed or not in the foreign country.

This applies to interest earned on deposits in banks as well.

but in this case the H1b stamp on my passport is still valid and not expired.

i am entering on nov 11th. stamp expires on december 1. why i am worried is just because the stamp is still of old employer whereas 797 is of new employer.

port of entry may ask me why didnt i get the stamp again when it is just expiring after 20 days ?? U know....

There will be no issue in entering US as you got the visa stamp till Dec 1st 2007.

Visa stamp is just to allow a person to enter US. They don't care whether it is with current employer or old employer. They just need valid visa stamp and latest I-797 approval notice of same classification. I.e. if you have H1B visa stamp and you need to have only H1B approval notice. You cannot have B1 visa stamp and use H1B approval notice.

There will be no issue. As a precaution, carry all original old approval notices also.

They will give I-94 with the end date there on latest approval. Thats for sure. But just check what date he/she is putting on I-94.

Good luck.

But what if you don't like jelly-bellys? or your hand gets stuck reaching in? Ahhh... nevermind.

Weird analogy though :)

What About Eb3 Row?

thanks for your post. Ya its my sister's wedding. I had decided to go until this H1 revocation email came. I has seen some cases on IV a while ago where people got the H1 revocation email and I-485 denied without NOID/RFE. If this happens when I am in India I am screwed.
I realize that 80% nothing will happen, but it is that off chance that something happens to I-485 when I am out of the country which has me worried.
Anyways 2 more weeks of thinking I guess before I board that flight. Hanging by this EAD/AP thread and uncertainities of AC21 etc is really painful.

Hello :

My EAD expires on July 28, 2010. I have sent the application today with request to expedite with employer letter.

If I don't receive my new EAD card by July 28, 2010, then

1) Will/Should I stop working?

2) If I do stop working, what impact will that have on my pending I-485? Am I not OUT-OF-STATUS if I don't have a valid EAD?

3) If I continue to work, what impact will that have on my pending I-485? Am I not OUT-OF-STATUS if I don't have a valid EAD?

4) Can I continue to work/remain IN-STATUS as long as my EAD application shows "Approved" on USCIS website but I don't have the physical card with me?

Any response to these questions will be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

Asked seven so far. There are live discussions till 2 pm today. I am going as any number of times cheers

Actually I have opened up a ticket to resolve the issue. Some how the variable is false and not generating the email. Now assigned to the programmer group.

Hi there, First of all thanks for all active participants you are doing a great service.

One of my friend has a unique situation. His wife and daughter ( both on GC and daughter is 10 years old) has to live outside US for long time due to her health situations. These are the things happened.

1. First time she went to India and stayed there for almost 1 year ( but less than 1 year ) and both came into US with out any problems, but stayed in US for only 1 week to 10 days.
2. Now both are still in India and its been approximately 1 year 10 months ( didn�t fine any extensions or anything like that).
3. Now she got recovered completely and want to come back to US to join her husband, Can they both come back to country with out any problems? Does she need to file any documents to USCIS or in US consulate in India.

Your responses would be much appreciated. Once again thanks for all your help.

They need reentry permit. This page may be helpful:

Hi,
I need some URGENT HELP here. My I-485 was denied and so has been MTR filed by my attorney. To give you a quick background of my case:

I-140 approved in 2007
I-1485 in August 2007
Received RFE in May 2009. The RFE had two parts to it that are as follows:
Part 1: Request for Evidence for Birth
Part 2: When I filed the application, the following question was left unanswered by mistake:Have you ever, in or outside United States been arrested, cited, charged, indicted, fined or imprisoned for breaking or violating any law or ordinance, excluding traffic violations

When i sent the response, i included birth certificates for wife and I but somehow both my attorney and I did not notice that we failed to answer the question - the second part of the RFE. Because of which my I-485 case got denied.

Within 3 days of receving the denial notice, I , through my attorney filed a MTR that included a signed declaration that I have never been arrested. Today I received an email update from USCIS that my MTR has been denied. I will know more once I get the reasons for denial.

What are my options here? Is there a way this case can be fixed and brought back on track or am I in a no-go situation? Please advise on the next steps.

Thank you in advance to those who respond.
