On papaer it sounds like a very good idea. I have canadian PR and I was also very tempted when I read this. But here are some disadvantages:
1. Windsor is a small place so hard for wife to find a job there.
2. Schools may not be the same quality as Toronto.
3. You might be putting your career in holding mode for another 1-2 years whereas you could do a much better job in Toronto.
Basically, my point is in order to try to wait for GC for another 1-2 years, you might have to compromise with your job/wife's job/kids education. I am at a point where I don't want to compromise with any of these if I move to canada. I want to make full use of the freedom of having a PR (take up whatever job/start a business/have wife take up whatever job/good school for kids etc)
I really depends on your situation, by what date do u need to move to canada to retain the PR and what stage of GC process are you in?
I was thinking this is a good way for short term period until we know for sure what is going to happen to us as far as GC situation is concerned. It may not make the most sense in the long term but is a good way of hedging your bets until you know for sure which way immigration issues are headed.
This may be a good soln for people who do not want to loose their Canadian PR or those who dont want to move back to India for their own reasons (ppl like me who have been in this country for 10 plus yrs on F1 and H1 cobined but with no GC in sight).

Reduced Course Load - 214.2(f)(6)(iii)
The new rule establishes that a reduced course load is only acceptable to maintain F-1 status if it is subject to prior approval by the school and includes at least six semester or quarter hours, or half the clock hours required for a full course of study. A reduced course load for less than half time is only acceptable for defined medical reasons (214.2(f)(6)(iii)(B)) or for the final term of study if the school determines that fewer courses are needed to complete the course of study (214.2(f)(6)(iii)(C)).
I need urgent advice from you. As you know my wife is on F1 visa and completed most of her credit hours needed by school. She has get only 1 credit hr to complete the course. However, that�s below 9 hr full time student status. She has been asked to register for additional 8 hrs..and pay tuition fee accordingly ( > 8K). Which I think is unreasonable. They told her that if she doesn�t register by tomorrow they have to report it to INS. She told them that she has EAD..there answer doesn�t matter in order to remain in school and F1 visa she has to register.
My questions is:
1) Can she continue working on her Thesis on her EAD and AP ?
2) What will happen to her f1 if she use EAD
In response to these questions my Lawyer said
1.) yes, she can continue to be a student as an adjustment applicant � she can work using the EAD and travel using the AP.
2) she is basically no longer an F-1 because she has demonstrated immigrant intent by filing the adjustment. Which is fine � she has valid legal status as an adjustment applicant and can work with the EAD and travel with the AP.
What do pro�s think..:)

How can we all become ILLEGAL....

What other options do we have? Please explore them here
1. Goto queens NY and join a fish shop. Most of them dont want to be legal though :) as they have to pay tax!!
2. Go climb Statue of Liberty wearing a T-shirt "Gimme Z"

Having 3 years EAD/AP and ability to refile AOS (in the worst case) is the best workable solution to an economic turndown and lay-off. Having a recapture done will also help many

4/ How can we be so sure that the amendments we are suggesting sound �fair, reasonable and in US interests� to senators and congressmen?
The amendments we are proposing are essentially what the National Academies report has suggested- we are adding nothing new. The report wants all PhDs in science and technology with 1 year job experience to be allowed automatic AOS benefits (and not just for some future F4 graduates). Again, the report in general talks about all the sciences- specifically highlighting benefits of the life sciences in several pages- and not just the physical sciences. It is for this reason, and if we correctly reference our arguments, that their reasonableness will be obvious to any and every US lawmaker and his/her staff. Had we demanded these based just on our requirements or wishes, it would have had virtually zero chance of getting through. For exact references to the National Academies report, look up the attached letter in the thread linked above.

Funds are really needed but another important thing is to leverage the momentum obtained due to CIR and more recently July Visa fiasco.
I think iV should aggressively focus on recapture of visas, 1 visa per family(Hillary Clinton already supports us on this and we can rope in Zoe loe****
who supported us now) and also removing country based limit.
Momentum is very important and now is the time to restart and I m sure funds ll flow. Removing country based quota is the easiest one to target first.
Cheers

I guess you can either come back or reschedule you FP appt...
Try your best not to miss the FP appointment. There is certainly a way to reschedule, but with so much backlog, your next date can be very far away. Missing a FP will also impact your processing time.

You can apply for extension. Fees are not applicable for extension of status. If it involves status transfer e.g H4 to H1, then you need to pay the fees. I extended my wife, and daughters status just by filing the paper work and got the new I-94.
I did a blunder by not renewing my passport and travelled to India in August 2007, while returning to US , CBP officer in Chicago issued my I94 only till the expiration of Passport , which is March 2008 . My VISA was valid till Jan 2010
I tried to argue but no use his quote "You can not stay in this country with expired passport" as if there is definitive rule
Irony is I travelled to Canada in July 2007 and at that time my I94 was issued till Jan 2010 . It depends on the officer .
Moral of the Stroy "Renew your passports as soon as you can"
I went to Chicago airport after renewing my passport to renew my I94 , but the officer bluntly denied and asked me to visit USCIS local office . Again just few months back my friend was able to change his I94 in the same airport , looks like I m not that lucky
I contacted my Lawyer on the situation and he suggested either to apply for I94 extension with CIS or travel to Canada . Applying with CIS with 300$ fee doesnt make much sense to me so I decided to fly to Canada and got my new I94 -- Yahoooo atlast valid till Jan 2010
Again in the Tornoto airport officer offered me to keep the same I94 as I did not leave US for more than 30 days , After few scary moments I requested that I needed the new I94 and explained my situation and got it.

Finally I gave a thought to all this GC business and I am planning to start my Canadian PR too, here are my questions :
1. Does anybody know of any good immigration cunsulting company for Canadian PR processing ?
2. How much would be the total cost to get it done throught the consulting services ?
3. Are there any hidden costs which these companies tell you at the end and try to rip you ?
Thanks
1) Best do your own job. The agents/consulting companies most dont do a
good job.
http://britishexpats.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=33
Thats the newsgroup of can immigration.
You need IELTS score 7 in each section. It takes about 1.5 years if you apply from US.
"3. Are there any hidden costs which these companies tell you at the end and try to rip you ?"
Companies will always say u qualify to get you on board (for the money they get)
well companies will put the burden on u to get 7 in each section.
So my advice is u first get 7 in each section. Then only u will know if u
clear passmark. Note: 7 in each section is not a walk in the park. U need
practice(stategy).
For details see Canada immigration section in britishexpats.com
Even then if u want some help (because u dont have time etc)
contact andrew miller or jim humphries (who post in the newsgroups
often) They do have knowledge of the rules etc which u yourself can know
by reading on the newsgroup.
Cost are (if u do yourself) for one adult person ( of course family members dont need ielts test) Note: child has lesser fees
550 Can $ + 475 Can $ (if u get through) + IELTS fee (120Aust Dollars approx) + medical testing (depends on where u do india or us)
+ transcript fees + mailing feee + other smal fees.

You are right axp817, but small correction.
Company A (old company) attorney filed I 485 based on the I-140 approval from
company A.
If there was offer letter from company A you can safely say that job was for future. If you did not include a letter from company A then all goes by the argument of future employment. But Finally it should be OK.

I came back via Frankfurt last month. AP no prob. But be aware of Lufthansa. It was worst trip of my life. Bugger airline had cancelled flight from FRA to Mumbai without notifying. They gave me two options after I landed at FRA. 1. Wait at airport for 27 HOURS for next days flight (as they don't give Indians visa @ airport for hotel stay) or 2. Wait for another 6 hours at airport, then take flight from FRA to zurich, wait at zurich for 3 hrs, then zurich to Dubai, wait at dubai for 3 hrs and then dubai to Mumbai. Unwillingly I had to accept 2nd option.
Staff is damn rude, had to wait in long line for 3 hours to talk to cust service.
Never in my life will I travel with Lufthansa :mad: :mad: :mad:
Did anybody fly recently in Lufthansa to India? I wanted to know whether you need transit visa.
I have booked the tickets in Lufthansa to india in Dec.
My travel agent says you dont need transit visa if you have AP.
Since i have time now, i can apply nowif needed.
Also please give me the details about the appln forms to apply for the transit visa.
please advise.

Read this!!!!! they did not use all the recaptured visas from last time
http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/statistics/publications/LPR_FR_2007.pdf
The large num-ber of LPRs in the employment preferences in 2005 was primarily due to the American Competitiveness in the 21 Century Act of st2000 (AC21). This Act resulted in the recapture of 130,107 unused employment-based visa numbers from 1999 and 2000 to be made available to first, second, and third preference employment-based immigrants once the annual limit had been reached. Approximately 94,000 of those recaptured visa numbers were used in 2005, none were used in 2006, and 7,312 were used in 2007.
In 2007, the number of employment-based preference immigrants exceeded the above limit. This was due to provisions of the REAL ID Act of 2005
that allowed the recapture of 50,000 unused employment-based
visas (4,743 of these visas were used in 2007) and provisions of the American Competitiveness in the 21st Century Act of 2000 that
permitted the recapture of 130,107 visas (7,312 of these visas were used in 2007).

So you mean I should not even think of invoking AC21 EVEN after 180 days ?
go ahead and invoke AC-21, you are not necessarily going to run into the problems that poster faced (in fact based on anecdotes on Forums the AC-21 related denials by USCIS have gone down a lot since 2005, probably because of the yates memo that came out then calrifying all this). Try to stay on H1 as long as possible though (you dont HAVE to use EAD to invoke AC-21 and change jobs).
At the end of the day a lot depends on your luck. Some people get unlucky and end up with all this nonsense, some people end up getting caught in namecheck... they are both thankfully a small percentage of the cases, so dont let your career choices be decided by what USCIS might do. Take precautions where possible (staying on H1 etc) but do what you think is right for your career and family. The whole point of this AC-21 clause was to provide flexibility to the employee, make use of it.
P.S: I am also planning to invoke AC-21 to switch jobs.

I am in similar situation. Originally applied to NSC, got Xfr'd to CSC. Now CSC after processing EAD/AP Xfr'd my I-485 back to NSC.
ANyone in similar situation has rcvd Finger printing notices? I assume Aug 17th filers at NSC are ahead of us?
Also, i received the EADs in mail, but haven't received the AP even though online status reads AP mailed a week back. Any idea how long it takes to get AP after it online status reads approved?
Please share any information.
