I am almost at the same situation.I have been here for since July 2000.Instead of getting married for american citizen I decided to go the long way.I have been changing visas from B2-H2b-F1 and now recently I apply with I140/I485.After having Masters degree in civil engineering from my country I went to school to become a nurse.After 3 years and many school I did finished and I passed the National exam for nurses but just when I was about to file for Schedule A the visa number finished and there was no chance of getting new once.Thank god they open the EB3 in July,or so I was thinking.USCIS did not separated my I140 from I 485 so I had no answer for 5.5 months.Only after I ask senators for help the thigs started moving.Finnaly I got my EAD and I can go back to saving life,which by the way I love.My advice is to marry US citized ASAP.Will save you a lot of trouble and if you love that person even better.;)

On June 1, 2009, new document requirements go into effect at land and sea ports for entry into the United States. Pursuant to the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative ("WHTI") an individual may show one of the following documents in order to be admitted into the United States:
U.S. or Canadian passport;
Trusted Traveler Card (Nexus, Sentri, or Fast/Express);
U.S. passport card;
State or province issued enhanced driver's license.
California does not issue "enhanced driver's licenses." (Enhanced driver's licenses contain multiple levels of security features.) It is no longer possible after June 1, to travel to Canada and expect to return with just a California driver's license. You must therefore have proof of citizenship as indicated above or proof of lawful permanent residence (i.e., "green card"), or proof of some other kind of non-immigrant status in order to be able to return to the United States.
For more information about the document requirements, please see my previous post on "Free travel widget helps plan trips abroad and return to the United States (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/2008/10/free_travel_widget_helps_plan_1.html)." You may also go the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (http://www.getyouhome.gov/html/eng_map.html) website on WHTI to obtain further information.

USCIS updates the status with this generic message when they receive response to the RFE. Regarding the interview, I think its random and there is no specific criteria for USCIS.

Hi,
I have worked in the US for 3 months (april, may and june) on H1b visa and still haven't got my pay stubs. Recently I came to India for my marriage and after marriage, I want to go to US on L2 visa (my fiance is on L1 visa). While trying to go to US on L2 visa, will I be asked to produce my previous pay stubs? Also when I asked my employer to give my pay stubs he said he had lost them and said instead of pay stubs I can have W2 which will be the proof that I have worked. Will the W2 be enough or I need the pay stubs? Please someone clarify my doubts.
Thanks.

as long as your gc is pending, you can get 1 year extension. After 140 approval and 485 still pending you can get 3 year extension. OR you can apply for EAD to continue in status.

When will they post inventory data? I got bored with analyzing/looking May 2010 inventory. EB3 filers like me needs something to munch on for next couple of years.
Note to USCIS: don't delay your release dates of inventories. Keep us busy ...
Funny. Nothing like using sarcasm as humor to lighten the mood, eh ?

Please share the information with everybody. I am also in same situation.
Thanks
MC
Moved from GC sponsoring company A to a different employer B using H1B transfer (expenses paid by me).
Now I see that the market is so bad and there are no contracting calls. The only calls that I get is for full time. And I do not know if they would give me a offer letter that is specified in my labor (which is different than what I work).
I am trying to asses the risk of using EAD compared to staying on h1(after spending so much money for transferring).
Please provide your thoughts of using EAD.
Thanks

Greetings everyone.
I ran into these forums few days ago and realized what I have been missing for the past few years :-). Anyway, my GC priority date is Nov 2005 under EB2 (India). I am very GC-illiterate in the sense that after actively tracking and monitoring it for a year or so after filing for labor, I kind of gave up on the fact that I was going to get GC anytime soon and moved on. Except for replying to lawyer's emails whenever I get them, I didn't really monitor anything else. Anyway, here is some additional information -
1) I applied along with everyone else in July 2007 for I-485 and got my EAD.
2) I went for VISA stamping in Hyderabad in Nov 2009 and got 221(g) (I had all the documents but you know how 221(g)s were given out at Hyd like M&Ms at that time) and upon lawyer's recommendation entered the country through AP.
3) A part of my company was recently acquired by a different very large MNC and I chose to remain in the other half which wasn't acquired and we chose to do business as (DBA) as a different company. Lawyer said she took care of it on the GC app - I am guessing she filed for AC-21.
4) I currently applied for a EAD (current one expires in couple of months) and AP.
Long story short, my app status currently shows, "post-decision activity" -->Does it mean they already took the decision? Is there a chance something could go wrong in the next few weeks? I called the lawyer's office yesterday and they said I should hear from them in the first week of August and if the app status doesn't change, they will open a SR on my behalf around Aug 10th...
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch!

Hey guys
I just wanted to let you know that all the San Jose members are thrilled that other people have been inspired to hold their own rally.
We are working on a document that details what gives advice on what we did and how we did it. As well as things we learned that we should have done!
Hopefully we'll be able to post it in a few days time, but please bear with us, we need sleep, to catch up at work and make sure we cover all the details.

Hi
We had applied for an extension of my in-laws visa, and it got rejected. Is there any way we can appeal this decision?
Also, they are here a day past their I-94 expiration. Will their multiple entry visas be cancelled? They will leave within 30 days time past their I-94 expiration.
Many thanks

No point in dreaming about getting any support from dems, they will bring up DREAM act for illegals and will hold legals hostage until CIR.
Our best chance is to get support from the republican pro-legal immigration senators like - Cornyn, Kyl, Judd Greg etc..
I second this. How about getting our members to contact them by phone or mail for support?

I have returned from India on AP three days ago. Immigration officer just asked questions on my employment, but he did not ask for proof. If you have multiple APs you should submit all of them for stamping. Thats it!
I got AP..and H1B till 09..I am hoping to reenter using AP while comming back from india..Apart from AP do I require anything else. like employement letter to reenter the contry??..
:)
thx

your old 140 will still be valid even if the new one is deneid and as long its not withdrawn or revoked by USCIS. You should be able to get 3 yrs H1 based on your approved 140. Hope this helps.

Hello,
I have recently moved from Company A(where I worked for 6 years of which last 4 years was in US on H1B) to Company B(working here for 6 months). My H1B transfer is complete but my VISA needs stamping. I need to travel to UK for 2-3 days next week.
Am I eligible to get the Visa stamping done in London? If so, is this a high risk option? How do you compare the risk of the option with the risk of alternate in making a trip to India from UK to get my Visa stamped? Does the fact that my current job is with a smaller(200 to 500 employees) IT consulting firm add to the risk significantly?
Do you think it is possible to get stamping dates around Dec 12-13?
In case VISA gets rejected in UK, what are the chances I can go back to India and get it stamped after that? And how long will that take on average?
Thanks much for your time.

hie,
i was on opt and my opt ended jan 24th 2009. i had applied to a masters program for spring 09. my old school ( where i did my bachelors) transfered my sevis information to my new school( where i was to start masters). however i decided to discontinue with my new school's masters program. i did not registered for classes. i told them that i would no longer want to pursue that particular masters anymore. i now want to join another institute for a short time. they require my sevis information in order to make an i20 for me. my new school( where i had applied for masters) says that they do not have an i20 for me since i cancelled my program. whichever institute i transfer to for future studies would require a copy of a current i20 from me for admissions.
now where does this situation leave me? am i out of status as of now? will i be able to transfer to any university/institute for my future studies?
