You know what, you win I loose. Keep paying for your GC out of your pocket.
7.5K and counting. :pNobody wins. I would be glad if my company pays for it. Anyway it's good for me that I got this opportunity at least. And you are right, it's still counting. I'm renewing EAD every 9 months for 3 of us - 180 x 3 =540

Someone posted a link describing I-485 Standard Operating Procedures. It is very detailed and interesting to read. It even described color of paperclip to use, place it on left or right corner, how to fold papers, how to form group family cases, how to shelve and label them, etc. It also has a very detailed description on where to click on screen while working on cases. The link is:
http://www.ilw.com/seminars/august2002_citation2b.pdf
The document is dated year 2001 but may have been revised since. Contents of this doc suggest that cases are first reviewed following some work distribution method, original mailroom RD is used wherever receive date is to be entered (automatically generated RD might be different though). PD is not part of initial data entry. Cases are placed in order of PD ONLY after they have been pre-adjudicated (shelved as 'waiting for visa number availablity'). etc. etc.
There is also a expedite procedure for cases with children between 20 and 21 years, where files are hand transferred from desk to desk.
Very interesting to read.
Amazing! thank you sharing.

Compile a list of famous immigrants like Albert Einstien, Madelene Albright, Henry Kissinger. Add to that the list of doctors, scientists who were immigrants and benefited mankind. Change the mental image of the immigrant as a low wage seeking, will work for food worker.

Well, my attorney filed interfiling last friday and according to him, my 485 file should be updated with the new I-140 in 3 to 4 weeks from now. He informed that we should not expect any written confirmation from USCIS though. I will keep you guys updated in this regard. In the mean time, if anybody in the forum has gone through this process, please share your experience.

But...I'm not comfortable with subject, that is starting with a question.. ( reply to svn's post)
IMO, it might backfire as...'What da xxxx is in it for legal immigrants?'( depending upon ones mood at that time)
I'm more for a lowered tone...request, that is.
Thanks hsingh82! for the post and validating the site.
Leo, that was just a suggestion - as I said, feel free to modify as you deem appropriate! The important thing is to send the faxes so we can draw attention to our plight!

Hi ,
I received RFE on my I-131 application asking for all the I-94's that is being issued to me.
I had been in and out of US many times and there's lot if I-94's involved and I don't anything with me except the latest. What options do I have?... Also couple of times during my earlier trip (initial visits in US), the AIR Line didn't even take the I-94 from my Passport which ultimately I lost.
My Passport has all the entries indicating my Date in and Date out...
Gurus - What do you advise on my case...
Anybody's input are highly appreciated and I know we could somehow get the I-94 copies by requesting USCIS. (That is time consuming)... I have to respond in next five to ten days...
What options do I have?...
Thanks.

That's good for you. As long as you understand the pro's and con's of invoking the H1B as well. The con's mostly depend on whether you have already exhausted your 6 years of permitted H1B.
I spoke with USCIS again this morning and this time got hold of a more helping IO.

Hi,
On a side note, could you share what documentation you had to send for e-filing for advanced parole?
Thanks
Bidhan
I efiled EAD and AP for my wife and myself over this weekend. My earlier documents had been filed at TSC. In answering Question 11 of EAD, I "assumed" Dallas TX Field office and USCIS TSC are one and the same. So I selected Dallas TX Field office as the answer.
When the receipts were generated for our applications they were generated for National Benefits Center with MSC as the prefix. This got me confused and I asked this question (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=19323) on IV. This evening to research what is going on I started a dummy application and saw what I had done wrong. I canceled the dummy application.
I am writing this to alert anyone to not do the same mistake. I am mighty concerned. I will call USCIS tomorrow morning and ask on what will happen and where should I send me supporting documents. I will also get hold of some local attorney.
In the mean time what do you guys think of our situation. Any experiences, ideas? Please share. This will be long night :-|

I was just thinking if it would help to gain more publicity if this site goes by a different name. On several instances while calling lawmakers or other people, the moment I mention immigrationvoice.org they think it is related to Illegal immigration / CIR etc. I need to stress that it is about legal immigration.
Even the flyers don't catch enough attention
Any name that does not have immigration in it (something like numbersusa), and reflects our main focus - green card retrogression and legal immigration would help - Just a thought...
That is a good point.
But now its too late. Changing names means:
1. We have to change names everywhere, including the name in the registration of the organization in New Jersey where its registered as non-profit, name change in other places like IRS where we got approved as a non-profit organization for tax purposes, in next year's tax return, etc.
2. Changing names in other reports we file at Federal Govt.
3. Letting all offices and other org we are working with know about this.
You would be surprised how much awareness and knowledge is there about Immigration Voice in the staff of various Senators and senior house members. Most of the Judiciary counsel staffers know about immigration voice. Since so much work has gone into building the name-recognition .... A VERY IMPORTANT ASSET... it would be tough to transfer all the name recognition to a new name.

Yes there is a security check at I-140 stage, it is not FBI name check. No one
know what this check is and who gets subjected to it or it is just random. I-140 stuck for 1.5 years without RFE makes it quite likely that your petition is stuck in this check. Take a look at this:
http://www.immigrationportal.com/archive/index.php/t-193663.html
Best way to find out is, your attorney raise a service request with USCIS.
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?

Hi guys,
I dont want to duplicate, but I think following "cut and paste" from my previous post may be a fair thing to do; just for the information.
I am not a lawyer; but this is what I believe to the best of my knowledge:
1. If you never used AC21 (still working with the employer who sponsored I 140); your obligation at the time of GC approval is to have a "good faith intention to work with the same employer permanently". It is not clear in the law as to how would you prove that intention...most people say that you should work for some duration (6 months or 12 months at least...or something like that) after GC is approved to "show" your good faith intention.
2. If you ported to employer B using AC 21 (before the approval of GC); you have the same obligation to the new employer B and NO obligation to original I 140 sponsoring employer. (this is especially true if you informed USCIS of your porting and also true if you did not inform USCIS but law is less clear in the later scenario)
There is really no law that specifies the duration.
All it says is :"you should have intention to work for the GC sponsoring employer (or AC21 employer if you ported) permanently."
Intention is a state of mind and it can change!! also all these employments are at will, and so it is possible that you may not like that job! Or on the other hand employer may not like you and fire you in a week.
Bottomline: You will be fine under most circumstances. However, if the issue is raised at the time of naturalization, it would be much easier for you to explain/show that you did have intention to work for the employer if you actually work for the sponsoring employer for some duration (6 months, 1 year...all these are arbitrary numbers).
If you never worked for the sponsoring employer, you may not have a lot of grounds to show that entire GC was not a fraud...
Again, there is no clear law on this...
followup post:
I think there is a mix up here between two things:
180 day clock does start on the first day after filing 485, but that is for the purpose of AC21. Once you use AC21, then the next employer assumes the role of "your future permanent employer" and you should have "intent to permanently work for that(new, not the sponsoring) employer" AT the time of GC approval.
If you use change the employers 7 times using AC21 before your GC gets approved; you should have "intent to work permanently for the latest employer".
You are not bonded slaves. The only issue is that the "burden of proof" of proving the intent to work for such and such employer is on the GC beneficiary and not on USCIS. So in future, if USCIS questions (or CBP questions), it is YOU who has to prove that intent.
One scenario where you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROVE IT: if you never worked for the sponsoring employer.
One scenario where you WILL NOT HAVE A PROBLEM PROVING IT: if you worked with sponsoring (or latest AC21) employer after GC approval for some duration (60 days?? 90 days?? 6 months?? 1 year??)...no law on this.
This is the whole purpose of Labor Certification process and I140. And it applies to the categories of EB2 (except NIW) and EB3--any category that requires LC.
This is from my discussion in following thread:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/sh...ad.php?t=20403
I just put it here so that everyone would not have to try the link and may be this information is useful to someone.
Good Luck.
