Did you have LUD (Last Update Date) on your I-140?

Can you let us know know why you cudn't get it corrected at the CBP? Its clearly a mistake by the POE officer. Try other CBPs till you succeed. thats the best option you have. I've done it myself. First time, when I called them to get an appointment they said it can't be done. I called them again and got an appointment without any problem (obviously it was somebody else who attended the phone). Went in person and explained it clearly and the officer accepted the mistake and apologized on behalf of the POE Officer. He gave me a new I-94 and struck out the new number and wrote the old I94# on it. He also updated it in the system.
So, please give it a try before trying out other options. HTH!
What will be my status after i file my I485?
My current I-94 will expire on 16th Sep 2007 (on the day my current visa stamp in my passport expires and my current H1 B is set to expire Mid April 2008).
I am planning to make a trip to Cannda or someplace to get a new I-94 as soon as i get my new passport (i had sent it for renewal on june 2nd). But i am a little worried about my status if i am unable to make the trip.
So my question is what will be my status after 16th sep 2007 (once i file for I485 (first week of July2007) and my I-94 expires on 16th Sep 2007)?
Appreciate any responses ...

...I don't mean to sound skeptical, but it is my firm belief (after watching the series of events over the last 8 months), that nothing is final till it's final.
Though, this kind of encouraging news pops up every now and then in the media - we have to (as part of the IV group), work toward getting our provisions passed in whichever Immigration Bill that is on the floor for discussion.
It's surprising that IV is the only group representing the "highly skilled group" and though 100s' of thousands have been affected by the "retrogression" phenomena, we have just about 9000 members...
Let's hope something concrete gets done, this year!
Hope 2007 is the year which puts to rest all the uncertainties we face...

labor sub is not neccessarily always bad.
I have seen lot of folks who were stuck in a bad wait and only way could leave was to use labor sub.
Having said that, this case seems just bad situation..
Why couldn't he just check before he filed I140 if someone else has already used that labor?
It's easy to do...
Also why not just use I140 premium when it was allowed back then..
I am thinking someone got greedy and got conned while trying to con immigration system..
you play with fire .. sometimes fingers get burnt.. I feel pity for this guy but I got no love for him..
how do u check if a 485 isn't being filed based on I 140

Friends,
Are we required to carry GC with us all the time ? :confused:
My attorney says we must. What if I lose it or damage it ? Can we carry a photocopy ?

Someone referred this creditunion in this post and when i checked the rates, they seem to be better than dcu.org.
When i checked the eligibility criteria to join penfed, its vague and it seems that if i join military officers assn of america for 13dollar annual membership(which i dont need to retain) , i can get their membership. Is this correct?
If i get membership with this moaa, would that hurt my greencard process as the greencard assumes no affiliation with any military associations etc... (i remember some questions like that). Can someone please advise ?
Thanks

I am in the same Boat. My PD is May 26 2004. Mine and my wife's case was transffered to Des Moines Iowa on March 19th 2008 and says its for additional processing. I applied for EAD renewal on June 11th and no approvals yet. I called uscis and they say that my ead would not be approved until the additional processing on my 485 is completed.. I am guessing it would be an interview.
Not necessarily in the same boat, although in the same pond.. :) In your case if the email says 'additional"processing and clearly indicates the DEs Moines office then it might very well be for an interview. In the case of ABH though all it says is that it was transferred to a USCIS office for "standard" processing, which could be as simple as USCIS mailing the packets from CSC to NSC.

One of my friend got EAD 2 year back even though his priority date was not came. Ofcourse this was even b4 this mess created USCIS. He was still using his H1 till couple months back, he is afraid of USCIS may roll back his EAD since PD is not yet reached.
I do heared 11 people from Infxxxx company got EAD even though their PD was not current. They are saying by mistake send the package but they got EAD.
I do know personally that person on the 1st paragraph, on the 2nd paragraph I dont have any evidence.....
Just sharing this information to help this thread, hope there may be lot more cases got EAD without PD even before this mess they have created.:D
You don't need your PD to be current for EAD/AP

Some Bank Notary's tell that way.. Once I had the same answer. Went to another branch and got the notarization.. You can try different branches in your area.
For Photo - any light background is ok. Infact I did it myself thru online website and printed in walmart.. got the renewal in less than 10 days.
as per http://www.indianembassy.org/newsite/NEW%20PASSPORT.asp#1
The following documents and fee are required to be submitted with the application:
� After having filled the application online, print a copy.
� Affix photograph as per specification in the box (do not staple photograph)
� Old Passport (in original)
� Additional booklet, if any, (in original)
� Three recent passport size photographs (3.5 cm x 3.5 cm -front facial pose). Photograph should have only a white background. (Photograph with coloured or dark glasses or in uniform or in Polaroid prints or Computer prints will not be accepted). One photograph to be pasted on the space provided on the first page of the application form
� Two proofs of residential address of the applicant, which may include current Driving License, Utility Bill, rent lease agreement showing the residential address.
Photocopy of the first five and last two pages of the original / old passport;
� Pages of passport showing US visa or Green Card (in original) Employment Authorization Card (in original) or other visa documents must be shown at the counter. A photocopy of the entire document / Card should be appended with the application (in case the application is sent by mail, a notarized copy of these documents should be sent);
� In case application for Green Card or EAC or visa is pending/being processed, a copy of documents in support of this fact must be submitted;
� In case the current passport does not contain the name of the spouse and the applicant wishes to have it entered in the new passport, copy of notarized marriage certificate must be submitted along with the application.
I am confused with few things in the above list of reqd documents:
1.It says white background , But I am only able get Cream colored background photos in CVS or Walgreen's
2.When I went notary in Bank Of America , the lady at bank says that she can't do notary for any copy of the document , she says she can do notary for a Application form that is signed in front of her.Same with marriage certificate.
I am confused and I need to travel by the end of this month.I need to drive 10 hrs 1-way to go to the consulate personally.

I am in a similar position and am going to wait till the end of the year for the AP. I am hoping to be able to go for the H1B stamping with the AP. So if there is any problem with the H1 I can atleast re-enter using the AP. Its a nice backup...

I agree with sri1309. This would stop the bleeding of the economic crisis. Folks just wont stop by buying house alone, they all will be motivated to spend more money. guys, our folks most of them are well positioned with good paying jobs and pay and the only reason for not spending and not buy houses are because of the insecurity of the stay due to the h1b extension.
We all to some extent know that this whole mess is due to the deregulation of the financial institiution and because of which high supply of houses ( SUPPLY and DEMAND. Now with the bailout government owns all these houses). By passing some legislation can control the deregulation but how do you sell the government owned houses quickly to the people? who will buy? Immigration is the best option. Here is my recommendation, regulate and tightenend the loans for the house constructing companies to control the supply side from the constructing compnay and issue green cards to all the legal immigrants to increase the demand side of the equation. Additionally bringing the ?? milliion illegal immigrants to legal will increase the tax revenue of the government. My 2cents says that whoever the next president, the comprehensive immigration reforms would be the best solutions for solving the current economic mess.
There are a lot of US citizens wanting to buy house. The problem is they are not able to afford and sitting on the sidelines. The house values will drop to affordable levels for regular folks to buy. Nothing will stop it. Even if all immigrants buy today, you can only postpone the crash. The basic problem is affordability. You can reduce the supply, but who will be able to pay inflated house prices?

Hello Gurus,
My I-140 was recently approved. 140-485 filed concurently in July 2007. I have a new job offer and plan to use AC21. However I am worried because the wages at new job would be significantly higher than the old job. There are two reasons for the big difference
1-Desi employer v/s corporate employer
2-Dallas v/s New York
Any comments from people who have faced similar situation will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
usually wage difference is not something on which your GC can be denied, but very large descripancy can raise questions.

I used to be client of Gowda couple of years back and I did not like the experience at all.
My situation was little different. Gowda's firm was the de-facto firm used by my employer although I used to pay all attorney fees out of my pocket. In spite of me paying for his fees the firm always put my employer's interests ahead of mine. My employer then was a typical blood sucking desi consultancy shop and used pending GC as one of their leverage to make employees stuck with them in spite of poor pay scale. As far as my own experience goes Gowda's firm happily played along with my employer in the grand scheme. They denied me any update regarding whether my labor was cleared as well as didn't send me any original approval notices/receipts etc. at my employer's request. When I raised lot of noise I was finally told I can no longer have direct access to the attorneys and have to route my requests through my employer! I wised up, cut short my losses and ditched both of them to join a big respectable company loosing my earlier PD and approved labor in the process (which I'm sure my employer must have sold back when LC substitution was legal). I finally received my GC in September.
Your experience maybe different if you directly retain Gowda without involving your employer. Competency is not an issue here, conflict of interest is.
This is a news RK charging for suggestions.
I spoke to him couple of times prior to becoming his client and he never charged me anything.
He was very polite and replied all my questions. He even responded to my emails. This was in 2006.
I also suggest Amarnath Gowda(www.gowda.com), even he won;t charge any money for the suggestions to the general questions.
I used Gowda and RK and I was satisfied with both of them.
You should clear most of your questions prior to hire any attorney, then choose them according to to your satisfaction.
