Thanks. Great to see someone active and contributing despite getting the greencard.

If we have more people like you we can work on trying to get the eligibility start time for citizenship counted from the time I140 gets approved rather than the day you get Greencard.

This maybe a big change and even help us politically as more people will become citizens earlier and can vote.

This is something for all IV GC holder members and all other GC holders everywhere to think about. They are invited to have a dialogue and participation in such an effort if interested.

hi sharadara,

Try to talk to someone in spain consultate or someone who knows spain visa rules.
For example a person on h4 visa in US cannot work, so it depends on what visa type you are going to be going for in Spain and does that visa type allow you to work.

If it allows you to work, then you can do telecommute and work and make money.

So the country of residence and your visa type dictates the same.

This forum has lot of folks who work in US/Canada, but not many from spain, i would try googling for some other forums or contact the spain consulate for help.

Thanks

For me they accepted interfiling and it introduced another problem. I had 140/485 filed with sub LC and before they looked at this concurrent file, another I140 with my original LC approved. Both are in EB2. We asked uscis to use my second approved I140 in place of pending I140 (lc sub). After 6 months, they looked at my concurrent file, sent rfe and denied my first I140 as they didn't agree my BITS-pilani MS is equal to US masters.

Then they looked at our request on interfiling that was sent 6 months before, then sent an intent to revoke on my approved I140 too with the same reason. Our attorney replied this time equating my AMIETE to US bachelors since they any way denied with Masters. We are still waiting after 2 months+.

The moral is, they accept the interfiling, but it takes time for them to put it in your file - some one said 2-3 months. You don't receive any ack on successful interfiling though.

Hope this helps.

Let's say you setup a business entity (LLC, LLP, LP etc.). You would need to open a business bank account for the entity you incorporated. Use the business account to receive your proceeds from selling the app. You have not violated any laws as long as you don't pay yourself from running your company. Again, there are laws as to how many hours you can "volunteer" as a manager/director to run the company (bookkeeping, accounting etc.) before you end up as someone who SHOULD be paid for running the company. Keep a documentation trail if you decide to go down this path.

You would have to wait until you get your green card to pay yourself out though.

PS: I am not a lawyer.

Does any one on this forum know under what section of law family to emp based spill over happens ? Last year DOS allocated some 10k family visas ( unused) to emp quota but it was distributed.

Just checking if this allocation is by book of law or interpretation of DOS based on some law. There are some chances that this year family based quota could be more and if DOS make them to fall down from Eb1 -- > Eb2 --> Eb3 -- > Eb4 -- > Eb5. then it could make C for all EB2 and those visas can fall down to Eb3 and this way in Oct 2010 atleast EB3 India get some 10-15 k extra visas. but if DOS allocate them across all category from day one then Eb2 row and Eb1 , 4, 5 keep consuming them and during last quarter spill over come down less..

Lets find out if there is any thing in law.

We July2nd filers called them this morning and they couldn't find us in DB by FN,LN, DOB...

And in the evening they are saying we are in DB but receipts are yet to be generated ???

See the disclaimer at the bottom of the page. It says it might take another 14 days to receive the receipt even though they might have issued it. What I understand from this is that USCIS has completed the data entry for the dates given and issue the receipts (essentially means, receipt date has been marked against your application in the database) but the receipt will take another 14 days to reach.

So guys keep patience as USCIS is going to give us update every week now...mentioned in the news letter.

For getting the Copy of my Labor Certificate, Do I still need to submit the FOIA form to USCIS or should it be submitted to different department. Please advise.

Is is possible to file for a new H1 once you start using EAD/pending 485? My lawyer says there might be a problem...awaiting more details.

Only last week I saw an article that said something to the effect that " Want US GC, get Masters". At that time, we all laughed at how these reports are compiled and brushed them off as tabloids.
Unfortunately , this time IV has got the right message and the publicity, but how will an average reader decide which article is saying the truth. People will understand/interpret the news the way their minds wants it to be , regardless of what the absolute truth is.

Regardless , a step in the positive direction for us

Interestingly lot of folks like me are doing 485 on their own - because its NOT difficult. Its small Project and you have to get the Docs right and complete.

Regd - Lawyers dont really answer RFE - they ask us to give the piece of extra information and henceforth charge 3000-4000... Like if a RFE comes to me because i didn't submit W2 and Tax returns - I'll send that. What do i need a lawyer to send my W2's ?

So far as critical RFE's like Birth Certificate , Employment letter unsatisfactory they will straight away reject the case - No question of RFE an no need of
lawyer answering it.

I feel like lawyers are collectively spreading these rumours because they want peoples like me to feel scared with the overall tense environment so that they get more business !!

I mailed my case today June 30th and it should hit Lincoln, NE July 2nd
Since the Visa bulletion is still showing current i have a right to do that.

Hey can we sue these law firms who have spread the rumors, I could not sleep all night yesterday. Think about those who have not submitted the paperwork to their lawyer yet ....

I saw immigration law (Matthew Oh) & Murthy publizing these rumors. Even Shusterman could have done the same he is one of the top immg attorneys but I feel just to make us already suffering souls file before the holiday these firms has run some water down our drain ....

All u require is
- take the EAD cards
- take some ID like drivers license or passport
- fill this form

Thats it....

http://www.ssa.gov/online/ss-5.pdf

Folks,

I was just reviewing the form, we should select " Legal Alien Allowed to Work" on the SSN application form if we have been issued the EAD card right ? All we need to take along with us is the valid EAD , drivers license, and foreign passport. Do you know how long it takes them to process the SSN.

Do we have to wait for the SSN to apply for a job or can we start working once we have the receipt stating that we have applied for the SSN.

Thanks!

Please go through this (http://www.immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5192)and reanalyze if you really want to go to H1 from EAD ....

The reason we want to maintain is to get the spouse to USA on H4. I am not sure if there is other ways of bringing the spouse to USA while on EAD/AOS

Is this not a good reason to be on H1?

The link really doesn't say anything about this situation.

Please spare some time & thought & decide to be in DC at the rally.

In my opinion USCIS is not very strict on the RFE deadlines. I was late by 3 days for an RFE on my I140. They accepted. But that was more than a year ago. May be, it depends on officer.


This is the latest on my LIN number ...

Response to request for evidence received, and case processing has resumed.

What does it mean ... Any Ideas folks ...

Hi all,

I have been trying to get an appointment from Hyderabad consulate, AP, India for the past two days on 27th or 28th of May 2009.

When I check the availability, the website shows that 27 thru 29th of May are available for appointments. But after I create and save the application it doesn't take me to the page where I can select the appointment dates. We sent an email to VFS customer support but till now we did not receive any reply.We are two H1bs(myself and my husband) and two H4s(kids).

Did anyone get an appointment successfully ?

The entire process of H1b revalidation itself is a tormenting procedure. On the top of it VFS website is really annoying.Sorry for venting my frustration.

Can anyone please help me out and guide me through the process.

Thanks in advance

What I heard is, 485 packet need to be send to the office where the I-140 got approved.

Look at your I-140 approval notice, aka I-797. At the bottom is the address (including the PO box) that processed your I-140, and that's where you have to file your I-485.

I got the above information from USCIS automated system.

Thank you for the information,

Any idea for filing 485?

thank you and have a nice weekend.

Take one by one and try to answer properly.

1. What is CIS is returning visa #'s to DOS.?

There are some unused and unallocated visa numbers reported by various means. Few# got reported by consulate abroad and few reported by USCIS.

2. How USCIS and Consulate can report unused Visa #'s?

You might be reading the I-485 rejection cases by CIS and Consulate
You might be hearing about USCIS is unable to process the applications received
You might be hearing people could not able to file whose cased were current in June.

All these Visa #'s are reported back

3. To me around 20000 such numbers are available for this years quota

4. Can my applications sneak into this #?

Answer is uncertain.

If your have an old priority dates then probability is high

If you have recent 05/06/07 priority date then there could be issues in issuing an EAD. People whose PD are old will take legal action against USCIS of they do not consider their case and approve yours.

5. What would August VB have?

If they do not approve any July2 filling then here is what they will do

a) Retain petition with old PD and adjust them in Aug
b) Reject all I-485 application for candidates recent PD

They are making a decision fast, that the reason Aug VB is not yet published

6. Will USCIS reverse the new decision?

Answer is NO. Why? There is no such pattern in USCIS behavior and July time is running out.

7. How about Law suite?

:) Do not worry there is a slick chance. All govt depts. are inter related.
Don�t you think Justice dept does not know about this before issuing the reversal notification in July. All CIS communication also being forwarded to Justice dept.

State--> Immigration --> Justice are all same with different names.

I have no hope from this process. It's just building a fake hope.

8. People are still filling the application.

Candidates are filling because of advice of their attorney. When you deal with the attorney directly they will encourage you to apply because they will get the money now.

There is no guarantee that you will process your application from XYZ law firm in Oct.

If you file now through them, you are bonded with him until you hear some good news from CIS.

There is a say in India.. Always try to out of trouble and Attorney. They will tell everything is possible.

Another thing after July 16th, I am not sure if they can charge money to you directly. They will rush you to pay before just 16th.


Declaimer: I am not an attorney or do not have any background of law. This is my conclusion from reading IV and many other forums. My PD is 2007 EB2.


I dont think whatever you are saying is true...

State--> Immigration --> Justice are all same with different names.

Please be careful while you post since lot of people are viewing it.

Ok.. here's the link to save some of your time
