I received an RFE too in Nov 1st week. It was about the evaluation. (It was submitted earlier but still) Lawyer mailed them the required document and now the status has changed to "We received your response to the request on Nov 14th and the case processing has resumed".
How many days does it take them now to make a decision? (Btw I am EB3 and my 140 submission date was Nov 2006)

First of all let me congratulate and thank IV for working tirelessly to bring about this huge benefit for most folks stuck in the green card mess. I have always believed in IV and its power to move mountains. However, in the midst of all this rejoicing, let's not forget a certain class of IV members who will not be able to take advantage of this recent benefit for all practical purposes. I am talking about the folks who are currently single and will not be able to file for their (future) spouse before Aug 17. It seems to me that the best thing that IV can do to bring relief to these folks is to lobby for and effect legislation to exclude dependents from the visa cap, i.e let dependents (or at least spouse) to file for I-485 even when priority dates are not current. I believe this single piece of legislation (if we can make that happen) will have a big effect on the entire community, because that will free up that many visa numbers that would otherwise have been used up, and let folks get their GCs faster (even if they are happy with their EADs and APs). Can IV focus on this front please ?
Congratulations btw to everyone who will be taking advantage of this window of opportunity.
LOL :D

Inform to SSN Office that you are leaving the country. It will make sure that nobody if steel your identity misuse your SSN. If some point in future if you return to US your credit history will not be bad.
Just send a letter for address change to US Imme office also get stamped in your passport about border crossing at US point.
I also had Canada PR but can not find a good job so cancelled it. I found that India is far better than Canada.

All,
anyone knows about this visa, is this family sponsorship GC ?
Family Second Preference (F2): Spouses, minor children, and unmarried sons and daughters (over age 20) of lawful permanent residents. (114,200) At least seventy-seven percent of all visas available for this category will go to the spouses and children; the remainder will be allocated to unmarried sons and daughters.
What do you want to know? I130 and I485 needs to be filed. Both Counselor Processing as well as AOS allowed.
This is current Priority Date
--- China ---- India
2A 01OCT03 01OCT03 For Spouse and Children
2B 01NOV99 01NOV99 For Unmarried children above 21
For EB based guys, my understanding is that this PD is same as Labor Certification PD which was used for GC - correct me if I am wrong.

#1. Schools can have policies. For example, some schools don't allow higher education on H4 Visa.
#2. As AOS pending based on spouse, one can engage in studies (full time or part time). Also, one can do job full time or part time (if EAD is applied for). As far as immegration (USCIS) is concerned, there should not be any problem
#3. I am not sure, whether the school in question allows studies while AOS is pending. I think it does not, so they are asking to take Full Time F1.
Usually people sitting on counter may not know entire detail. You may have to ask senior staff.
I have been is situations, where INS explained me that Schools can have their own policies and that don't dictate it.

You can contact your local Senator's office. They proved very helpful in my case. (I got my EAD within a week of contacting them)
One thing I noticed was that when I contacted them about my EAD renewal delay, they also followed up on my pending GC app. and sent me a letter saying that the date wasn't current. I guess in your case they might prod USCIS to process your GC quicker...
...anyway... best of luck with both apps. Hope you get them soon

For this reason IV should stop posting any strategy and plans on www that is accessible to everyone.
With due respect to your contribution to Immigration Voice, I completely disagree with you. I don't think there is anything wrong in discussing strategies on IV. Actually people will support that not discussing strategies among members have created more damage to us then discussing and let antis know about them.

Medical exam is considered part of "intial evidence" for the I485. If your friend files without the medical report, his application will be rejected without an RFE.
Hmmm...we realized that after reading immigration-law.com. Earlier USCIS was lenient and they used to issue RFE but it seems that since so many application will be filed in coming months, they are going to be strict and will deny the application without issuing RFE.
Thanks for bringing out attention to it.

I wrote about our retrogression problem to our senator Barack Obama three months ago and I got reply from him today.I couldn't find the answer to my question.Can you help? Here is his response:
Thank you for writing me regarding immigration policy. I have heard from constituents on both sides of this issue, all making passionate arguments. This is unquestionably a complicated policy challenge with far reaching ramifications across society.
After much study and discussion, I have concluded that the best course is to pass comprehensive reform that reaffirms the rule of law and brings the undocumented population out of hiding through an earned path to citizenship. In my view, the approach presented by the immigration bill passed last year by the Senate lays the foundation for such a permanent solution.
To address the immigration problems in our country, that bill put forth a three-pronged response: 1) it strengthens border security; 2) it establishes a path to citizenship that included fines, a requirement to learn English, and adherence to the rule of law for immigrants and their families who may have entered the United States illegally but are now contributing and responsible members of society; and 3) it creates a "guest worker" program whereby American businesses can temporarily recruit foreign workers for jobs that American workers cannot or refuse to fill. This proposal passed the Senate by a 62 to 36 bipartisan vote, but a joint House/Senate conference committee appointed to reconcile the differences between this bill and a separate version passed by the House of Representatives (H.R. 4437) was unable to complete its negotiations before Congress adjourned.
Like our nation's religious and civil rights communities, I opposed enforcement-only approaches like H.R. 4437. That House bill is also opposed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the AFL-CIO, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and over 200 other faith-based, business, labor, religious, local governments, civil rights, and ethnic groups. The common denominator of this opposition is that the bill would have had a profoundly negative impact on workers, on businesses, on families, and on local communities without making the country safer or fixing any part of the broken immigration system.
The President and Congress should look at immigration reform in a comprehensive manner to guarantee both that enforcement and border security are enhanced and that all workers, including immigrant and “guest” workers, are treated fairly and are afforded basic labor protections. This approach will curtail the flow of illegal immigrants into the country, reward work and unite families. I look forward to continuing to work with President Bush, my colleagues in Congress, and the people of Illinois on this important challenge.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Please stay in touch on this or any other issue of concern.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama
United States Senator

How do we know if you have 40 credits?
Where do we check or compute this?
You get a yearly social security "statement" telling you how many credits you have accumulated.

Here is another link posted below, published just 2 days back.
http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/80818
In the absence of governing regulations, there is a lot of grey area and wide divergence of practice for how employers and employees handle AOS portability situations. However, USCIS expects to publish regulations governing AC-21 that purport to address these issues in the near future.
Can IV CORE address this issue ASAP with CIS??? I know speaking (or rather typing) is simple than doing it, but I am sure there must be some efforts going on in background.

RK on the other hand charges per second. I paid him 600$ for a 20 minute phone call and he did not tell me anything i did not already know....Rip off!!

Please kindly remind your friend to withdraw the EB3 485, and file marriage based 485 instead. There is absolutely no need for him to waste a precious EB quota. And, it is believed that marriage based 485 passes NC much faster.
I recently came across an old friend of mine. I was shocked to hear his case. He is an original applicant EB3 India with PD of September 1998. Please note he is the original applicant and this is not labor substitution.
Here are the details
Sep 1998 : Applied with Texas Workforce Commision as regular Non RIR.
Oct 2001: TWC asked to do recruitment. No action was taken on submitting results.
October 2006 : Labor finally approved from Dallas BEC. Concurrently file I 140 and I 485.
Jan 2007 : I 140 approved.
Nov 2007: Took Infopass appointment. Was told case pending name check.
This case is absolutely amazing. My friend doesnt care anymore since he recently married US citizen (genuine case ABCD). He has worked at the same company since 1998 and stuck to stupid job (non IT). My PD is August 2001 and seeing his case I am getting mentally prepared for much much longer wait.
Thanks

So after more than a month of sleepless nights, thanks to Immigration Voice looks like my I 485 application is back on track.
A recap of my situation:
Last month I got an email from USCIS-CRIS stating that my I 485 was withdrawn. After being in this country for close to 10 years and in the immigration queue for more than 7 years why would I withdraw the application ??? I did not withdraw my application !!!
It took me more than a month to find out the reason behind the withdrawal..trust me it was not easy..and guess what ....It was my Attorney who had withdrawn the application in Error. Now what ... I call USCIS multiple times.. talk to many different IO's .. some of them patient and try to help.. some extremely rude.. but all of them had only one thing to say... they cannot help!!..... I get an Info Pass... no help there either.. I set up an emergency meeting with my attorney (one of the large Immigration Law Firms) .. nothing...they accept their mistake tell me that they will do all they can .. but no assurance that they will reinstate the case .. limited forward movement.... things look gloomy and bleak..no one can help me.
Then I called Immigration Voice on the number that is listed on the site and left a voice mail. Promptly got a call back I spoke to a Core member who understood the gravity and urgency of the situation and swiflty moved forward and got in touch with their contacts in the government. The Core member also put me in a conference call with the person who was going to look into my case, I was so relieved that I could explain the situation first hand.
I got a call today and I was told that after evaluating my case my file has been reopened and they have mailed an offical notice regarding the same and I should get it in a few days. *Fingers crossed until I get this notice in hand *
The IV core was extremely sensitive to my situation and were very responsive and extremly helpful. I cant thank Immigration Voice enough for helping me resolve this issue in a quick manner.
I have registered to be a recurring contributing member and I intend to be an active member of this group.
My lessons from this crazy experience are:
- Never trust your attorney, always ask for a copy of any letter/document they send to USCIS on your behalf
- There is no organization besides IV out there that is looking out for the interests of the Immigrant Community.
- We need to strengthen IV in all ways we can, we need to be active.
- And as so many members have already said "We are IV." If we want things to be better "WE" need to do something about it.
I urge members who are still contemplating becoming active members to evaluate their options and to become active and contributing members of IV.
- Peace
ps:
Another point I would like to add is that no other organization has the kind of reach and the credibility with USCIS as IV has as far as representing the true interests of the Immigrant Community goes. IV is a huge asset we have and we should work towards strenthening it.
we are glad that it worked out.
