My case is very straight-forward but some really inefficient guy is making it complicated. I need your experience and inputs. Please do advise.
I came to US on J-1 in 2000. After 3-years on J-1 got 'waiver (i-612)" and then moved on to H1B visa and filed I-485 in july07 (with an approved I-140). I have stayed with the same university medical school (my GC sponsor) since 2000. Last month, I got a simple RFE --asking for a copy of approval notice of 'waiver' . Same was sent within a day and it followed with several LUDs and read rfe response received.....
Last week, got 'Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID)' for myself and same/ditto for my derivative-spouse. It is asking both of us to provide evidence/ IAP-66 and H1B approvals to prove our legal status from 2000 to 2006 (Please, note they asked only until 2006 and not until today). I have IAP-66 and H1B approvals ready to respond to this.
My Question is: Since my spouse/derivative was my dependant and was on J-2 visa, the IAP-66 were all in my name how should we respond to derivative's noid as-far-as IAP-66 approvals are concerned. We know IAPs and waiver are good for dependants and I want to end this back-and-forth with my response to uscis.
Please, advise and let me know of your thoughts....

I was just thinking, the wastage of visa numbers we see, is that basically due to the per country quota. The rule that no country can have more than X% of GC's in a year, would mean that even though there are visa's available, they cannot be alloted due to that per country limit.
Anyway the smaller number of application is good news.
-AD
The wastage is due to handicap USCIS, they dont make basic calculations for the visa numbers used per year.
To give u an example, lets say they have to give x amount of visa, they just process x number of apps and at the end of the FY some people are still struck up in other processes like Name check etc. So those numbers who are struck up, get wasted.

Guys, I think we should have some media coverage for the USCIS and DOS actions. Since immigration news has been hot in the media for a while. It will be easy to get channels to cover this story.

Administration Slams Door on Thousands of Legal Immigrants: AILA Condemns Agencies� Bait and Switch

WASHINGTON, D.C.--The American Immigration Lawyers Association strongly condemns the bait and switch perpetrated by the federal government on thousands of intending immigrants who have waited in line for years and were following the rules for obtaining a "green card."
On June 13, 2007, the U.S. State Department announced that, as of July 2, individuals seeking permanent residence ("green cards") through employer sponsorship finally would be allowed to proceed with their applications. Applicants would have a short window, possibly only through July or perhaps August, to complete their paperwork.
Those intending immigrants, immediately and at great expense, rushed to gather final documents, complete their paperwork and obtain required medical exams. Many sent their applications off on Friday, June 29 for arrival on July 2 at the Department of Homeland Security, for the last phase of the multi-step process that leads to a green card.
However, on the very day the door was to open, DOS and DHS slammed it shut.
On July 2, DHS and DOS announced-based on no different information than they had on June 13 when they announced the opening of this filing door-that all applications would be turned away.
"People ask why those who come to the United States illegally can't just follow the rules," said Kathleen Campbell Walker, President of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. "But here people followed the rules and did everything right, yet without warning or explanation the door was slammed in their faces. This hoax perpetrated by these two government agencies is unconscionable, and is an example of how badly our immigration system is broken."
AILA calls on the Administration to do the right thing and keep its promise to the people affected by this sudden reversal. AILA also calls on Congress to get it right this time and fix our badly broken system.

So what you are saying is that INS and IRS systems are connected?
IRS can go back 3 years unless they have evidence that you understated your income by more than 20%. There are some depreciation issues that may allow them to go back further.
As far as I know, IRS and INS (USCIS) do not share information with each other. USCIS is under the Dept of Homeland Security and IRS is under Department of the Treasury.
I actually read a newscoverage in California couple of years ago where INS sued the IRS for not providing information about the illegal immigrants. INS claimed that they failed to obtain information from the IRS about the illegal immigrants who were filing tax returns using TIN numbers. If I remember correctly, INS lost the lawsuit and IRS was ordered not to release information on people to the INS.
Just to clarify a little more about TIN and SSN is that you cannot get a SSN unlress you have some sort of work authorization (Such as H-1, EAD or even F-1 working/willing to work on-campus) where you can get TIN numbers from IRS and they don't want to know your visa/residency status. So, if you are living illegally in the U.S., you can still get TIN number and file tax returns.

Googler,
How is this possible, EB3 ROW also has a limit to how many they can use correct? They only can use what ever is beyond the 7 % used for India/China/Mexico/Phil (28% in total). Out of 1/3 of the 140K.
Am I right here ?
I think EB3 - ROW will stop or retro. next month or for sure in the next couple of months back to where they were. Lot of people here are saying that ROW will be current soon I am not sure where they are getting these facts.
Randy and others, do go through the older threads, there are quite detailed explanation of quota allocations. ROW is the rest of the world, and yes they get to use ALL of the rest: within ROW spillover occurs from EB-1 to EB-2 to EB-3, so whatever visas are available/leftover will be used up by EB-3 ROW -- they have suffered massive retrogression for many years, and now early PDs will not be stuck in the FBI blackhole.
I am not saying that EB-3 ROW cutoff will necessarily move further forward (i.e forward from Jan05) -- DOS intent is to use up all the remaining greencards -- and it might well be that the current cutoff will achieve that goal -- if it doesn't only then will they move the EB-3 ROW dates forward. Oversubscribed countries get a spillover ONLY if EB-1 ROW + EB-2 ROW + EB-3 ROW still leave unused visas.
See my post here (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=224031&postcount=200) as well.

I have two 797s: one which is current valid till June 2007 and the other from July '07 till July '10 (using my approved I140). I am going for visa stamping this March at Chennai consulate. Can they combine both my 797s and stamp me till 2010 or they'll do it only till June 2007?
They will stamp for the latest i797A. The old one is obsolete. If you notice the I94 numbers are the same.

It's because you, me, or any temporary legal immigrant will go back home if some law changes, and new batch of H1 B people will come in to fulfill industry requirement, but for illegal, route from South America is a one way street to USA and no going back. Plus, if temporary legal immigrants leave, US Govt. got to keep all our social security, retirement saving etc. if you think from their angle (US govt.), I guess for them, it makes more sense to legalize illegal (so at-least govt. can get some share of money from their taxes) because no matter what govt. do, illegal are never going to go back.
After one has been here for 10 yrs. , does US have any Internation tax treaty with INDIA to give back social secuirty benefits or return the taxes back, if one goes back.
I dont care about GC, Indian govt. must get our social security taxes back. This is a legitimate concern atleast. I guess Indian govt. can take this issue up for sure.

The pattern of RFE's on AP's are from those cases applied at NSC >> CSC issued Receipts/EAD/AP >> 485 back to NSC.
I got an RFE for I-131 for both myself and my wife. They have asked for absolutely everything (I-485 receipt, I-140 approval, I-94s, I-797s, marriage certificate, Passport copies etc). As my lawyer said "they have thrown the kitchen sink at you".
I dont even know why - but the amount of documentation they have asked for seems absurd just to issue a travel document.
BTW - my EAD from the sample application was approved!
