Well its just wasting GC numbers as this person is leaving US anyways, why GC???
I have seen many people leave US after once they get their GC, how stupid is that?
That is the BEAUTY of Green Card.
1. Most of them do not want to stay here, because they don't like something here....
2. They want to stay back there...
3. They don't like things back there...
4. They need an option to come to US anytime in future... (They worked half of their life to aquire this option)
So from 1 and 3, it is obvious that they don't like to stay in East End or in West End. They can not go to North End (freezing to death) or South End (No place attracting).
It all says that "They don't like the WORLD".
So, a slight change in your title "Just a LIFE gone waste".
God must be crazy and not doing QA after producing these humans.

That was exactly what I was looking for.
What happen if the employer fire me because the project I am working on finishes and they can't reallocate me right away? Or for any other reasons? Of course I will not push anything to be fired, but it is a situation that can happen, specially with IT.
Tks!
That is a different story. I you have been terminated, and the termination was beyond your control, get a letter of termination, keep it in a safe place for the time you get naturalized, and move forward.

If I remember my Uncle's word correctly, it was Ted Kennedy who was instrumental in relaxing (changing) the rules for future immigrants in 60 or 70's. Only then, we saw a huge increase in immigrants from India especially doctor's and engineers in 60's & 70's.
Obtaining Green cards (or permanent resident stamps in the passport) at the port of entry if you had a degree in medicine or engineering and a job offer from an American company. Of course the total population of Indians in the US even until the late 80s was about 900 thousand. Only when the tech boom started in 1993-94 did immigration especially from India go up rapidly.
Also unlike now, a H1B was strictly for 6 years, no extensions until you spent 1 year outside the country and came in on a fresh petition.

He is ripping money out of you, where are you located?
I just came back from doc..and he charged 400 dollars (xray will cost more in next few days. Anyways, he says he need to administer Tetnus 3 times (6 months apart).
I am not sure what he will say in report (which i get in couple of days). But my question to you all is :
When Shots are given with time lag, Is 485 processed normally or RFE happens or do USCIS just wait for all shots to be completed and submission of report by doc before they process anything?
Please Reply

receiving RFE during 485 stage has become more of a common thing. Dont worry about it. Once you get the letter, prepare a response with the right evidence with the help of the attorney, and you should be fine.
Thank you very much. I'm just too nervous about this. I want to get it over with this. Thank you for your positive supports.

I travelled thru Frankfurt last december. No need of Transit visa, no hassels; though Air-hostess that hands out I-94 card did not know what AP meant. I boarded at Bangalore airport and Lufthansa staff at check-in were aware of AP. At immigration in chicago, the guy gave me a short lecture- AP should be used only for emergency purpose etc; I jsut nodded and he stamped the I-94 and AP doc

I was looking for similar info -
Applying for a Canadian tourist visa with AP (no H-1), would this be a problem? Would we get the Canadian visa for only the validity of AP (one yr at most)?
I would be interested in finding out the answers to the original poster's questions as well. It would be very helpful if anyone could share their experience with this.

My gully, I should have issued personal cheque instead of asking the atty. to use his cheques. I could then saved the trouble of asking the atty. everynow and then.
I still have 20 days left before I could get my RN based on the rate of receipting recently.

That is my opinion. I may be wrong. I was always under the impression with my 2 cent of brain that 7% of ( Familiy Based+ Emplyment Based ) will be given to each state.
I try to search every where for clarification. I could not find it. However the language is not clear in the law which states that 7% of 140,000 will be alloted to each state during the fiscal year.
Can some one share there light on it please.

Yeh you guys are right, almost everyone is doing it. Don't know whats up with her.....
If I was you, would give a second thought or have a plan B in place to switch to better attorney who at least knows some basic not like your current lawyer....(ask your lawyer to take some crash course & refresh her memory!!!)
not to scare you but a friendly advise you many want to re-think about this attorney who filed your 140/485 and don't know what type of damage she must have already done with your application and having good attorney will at least helpful if something goes wrong (for god's NOTHING wrong should happen to you or anyone in this whole GC process). this GC journey it self is a toucher!!

To my best knowledge the PD is set at the I-140 stage. As a matter of fact, there's a field in the administrative part of that form where the PD is stated. Short of saying that it wouldn't be possible to claim an earlier PD at the I-485 stage I would assume that your lawyer should jump much more loops to get you an earlier PD then.
Thank you all for your response. As per him ( my attorney) - you apply for I-485 with the new I-140. Provide reference to earlier PD as reason for your application. He provided the following text from the USCIS's I-140/I-485 adjudication document.
If an alien is the beneficiary of two (or more) approved employment-based immigrant visa petitions, the priority of the earlier petition may be applied to all subsequently-filed employment-based petitions. For example:
Company A files a labor certification request on behalf of an alien ("Joe") as a janitor on January 10, 2003. The DOL issues the certification on March 20, 2003. Company A later files, and USCIS approves, a relating I-140 visa petition under the EB-3 category. On July 15, 2003, Joe files a second I-140 visa petition in his own behalf as a rocket scientist under the EB-1 category, which USCIS approves. Joe is entitled to use the January 10, 2003, priority date to apply for adjustment under either the EB-1 or the EB-3 classification
ANYBODY HAS A DOCUMENT COUNTERING IT ( STATING IT CAN NOT BE DONE AT I-485 OR IT MUST BE DONE AT I-140). PLEASE PROVIDE LINKS OR REFERENCES. SORRY FOR THE URGENCY.

My lawyer filed my Labor certification stating that the job requires 'BS degree in CS'. My labor got approved last month.
I hold a MS degree in CS and BS degree in Industrial Engg.
Now while I am about to file for I-140, I am getting information from various sources that my bachelor's degree has to be in CS, irrespective of holding a master's degree in CS.
Has anyone faced similar situation? How can I resolve this issue?
Please help as I almost spent 4 years in LC backlog queue!!!!!!!!
The DOl might have overlooked your case and you got approved..your education no way fits with your employment AD. Have a serious discussion with your attroney and employer.
Good Luck!!!

My sister is currently working abroad as a Nurse and is looking to work in US. I have done some asking around and figured that Nurses are not welcomed in US as they used to be.
My question is: Is it possible for my sister to come and work in the country on an H1 visa, since she cannot come in with GC anyways. If yes, how do I explore this avenue.
I am raising this query through IV forum to get more clarity on her options. I am being told that there are specialist nurses who are coming in, on H1 to US. Only I can't validate it with anyone.
Any help would be appreciated as always.
Look forward to hearing from you all..

Hi People,
I getting even more confused:mad:
My status - AOS, H1B expired, staying on EAD.
Ap is valid until the middle of November 2008.
I have to travel abroad end re-enter more than 2 times from now to the AP expiry date
..
USCIS sent me 2 exact copies of AP - is that mean that only one stamp per each re-entry implying that I may travel out of country only twice until AP exparation end re-enter twice only???
Or there allowed more than one stamp on AP paper - using one AP per multiple entries??
Sorry, I am confused :confused:
When it is three copies (Nebraska has been giving three), on first travel, one copy goes to airlines, the 2nd copy goes to POE and 3rd copy remains with AP holder (the 3rd copy must be stamped at POE). On subsequent travels give a photocopy (of 3rd) to airlines, ask POE to make a copy (of 3rd) for themselves and keep 3rd (after getting subsequents stamp).
When it is two copies (Texas has been giving two), on first travel, give a photocopy to airlines the 1nd copy goes to POE and 2nd copy remains with AP holder (the 2nd copy must be stamped at POE). On subsequent travels give a photocopy (of 2nd) to airlines, ask POE to make a copy (of 2nd) for themselves and keep 2nd (after getting subsequents stamp).

Not sure if i cant use the EAD. My lawyer said if USCIS hasnt revoked the EAD it is safe to use it. Currently though I am on H1B which is valid for one more month.
It doesnt make sense to me that i have to pay for USCIS mistake. Would contacting senator/congressman will help?

First of all thanks for your valuable feedback.
FYI: I am a derivative I-485 applicant (my spouce is a primary 485 applicant).
So, Did you mean I can join an employer on EAD and file for green card processing (labor cert, 140, and 485) as a primary applicant with my prospective employer?
Thanks,
You can use the EAD to start working. Then start the GC process. But I dont think you can caputre the 2003 EB3 PD for your EB2. Only your spouse can port the PD if he starts his GC in EB2. I believe you can not port your spouse's PD for your GC. So whats the use of doing this. You will be having EB2 PD sometime in 2010 as it takes 3-6 months time to file the PERM.

Hi,
Can someone please tell me the entire process involved to bring parents to U.S as Visitors.I know few things but am very confused about the documents we need to send and needed application forms .
I went through vfs site for required documentation (I know we should book the interview date through vfs-usa site.)
They mentioned DS-156 and I-134 forms. where to get these forms from?
What are the documents that should be sent from U.S
What about the financial support proof. Should we show specific amount as proof of support for each person visiting?
Please Advise.
Thank you.
For the DS-156 and I-134 forms you can download it from travel.state.gov.
List of reqd docs from US:
Couple months of your paytubs
Last 2 years of W2.
Full Passport copy.
Employment letter.
Bank statements showing the balance (from the date account is opened).
your status in US( say I 797 approval notice and I 94)
