The rule that USCIS follows is that if they estimate that your priority date wil become current within a year they give you a 1 year EAD. When they estimate a wait of more than a year they give a 2 years EAD. ofcourse this is not strictly followed as we have seen cases of people falling through the crack and getting 1 year EAD when their priority date is far in the grey area (1 to 1.5 years from the current date)
Look at the bright side a 1 year EAD means that you will most probabaly be current in a year :D:D:D

I know that if you don't have H1 stamping you need AP to reenter. But if you have AP why do you need H1 stamping if you are working for the same H1 employer after reentery? Is H1 stamping a backup to AP?
If you have a 3 year H1 extension (like I do now) you can get a stamping for 3 years and wont get tied up in AP extension filing etc. With the flood of applicants in July I think USCIS is going to take much longer to process AP/EAD and I am expecting periods between APs where I would be stuck, unable to travel. With a 3 year H1 stamp all those issues go away.
Traveling on AP also has the funny effect that your I-94 would be stamped to the expiry of the AP (1 year) rather than H1 (3 years) and I dont know what happens when that I-94 expires... H1 travel is simpler once you have a long lasting H1 stamp. Main advantage of AP is I can renew without leaving the country and if my I-485 ever gets approved when I am outside the country, I can re-enter (my H1 would be invalid at that point)

With so many people changing jobs using AC21, not only IO, everyone in USCIS will be aware of it. Let's discuss something other interesting topic rather when 180days start/end.
IOs will see your I-485, use some calculator/software to find out of 180days and then say pass/fail. End of the game.
:) true, a LOT of people are going to be getting very familiar with AC-21/AP/EAD.
Back when the July VB was first published, even the birth registrar in my hometown knew about the dates becoming current (when tons of parents all landed up in his office within a day or two, trying to get certificates for their children here :)
Airline folks who used to see a few APs here and there, are now going to be seeing a lot more people APs.
HR folks are going to be more familar with AC-21 and EAD...

got the numbers from the attorney
just got email from CRIS that my 485 has been transferred to TSC as my 140 was approved last year from TSC
How did you got your RN and ND. Did you call USCIS? or got from your Attorney?
I filed on July 23rd and signed by R. Pitcher at 9.29 AM and no news so far.
Thanks,

dates make no sense
The dates for H4 I 539 renewal are struck at 14th June 2007 where as most of people who filed their renewal's have already got it. These dates are meaningless.
No. That means ALL cases filed before 14th June07 have been processed. You may have filed on July 1st might have been processed, but this has no relevance to the previous statement.
That's why I think all the 485s filed before July 27th 2007 at NSC have undergone some processing, if not completed.
Problem cases, those which may need RFEs may get notified in the coming weeks.

3 options
1) file H1 on Apr 1st and if H4 is not approved by then withdraw pending H4
2) file H1 on Apr 1st before the current H4 expires and hope that H4 is approved before H1. H1 should be approved after H4 to have the H1 status. If H4 is approved later, H1 status will be lost
3) Request PP of extension and 99.9% of time 539 is approved along with 129.
I will add more info as I find.

While we can seek IV's help in this for future.......
If majority of the people
- dont want to be involved with IV action items,
- can not overcome their obsession about receipt notice and FP notice and EAD/AP approval...., and anxiety attacks about visa bulletins
then there will be a time where there is no IV.

Last time around exactly the same time in 2006 CIR took off like crazy because of the tremendous backing of Senate Judiciary committee chairman Arlen Specter and Senate majority Leader Bill Frist (who actually gave a deadline for a the bill to be introduced to the senate floor, to speed it up) and president bush supporting it as well. In spite of all these it took the senate from Feb-march 2006 to around September 2006 to get it passed.
Now to the present situation, Harry Reid, the current majority leader never ever publicly spoke one good word about CIR, the present senate judiciary committee chairman, Patrick J. Leahy has not displayed even 1/100 the urgency nor the interest in CIR, president Bush though still supporting CIR is a wounded president licking his wounds and has truly become a lame duck president (most unfortunately for us).
Having considered the above facts what are the chances of CIR happening? Its very painful to say that but I think very low. Even by a miracle (a very big miracle at that) if something happens it will be November or December 2007 before it passes.
As if this not painful enough there is a 60 day waiting period from the day the president signs it before it becomes a law. I think there is some confusion on this 60 day period (I am not 100% sure on this). In addition to it if I remember correctly there was a strange condition which was something like there would be a 6 month investigation period to determine the effects of CIR before becoming a law. If you add all this nonsense up I think in the best case scenario January or February 2008 before CIR becomes law and worst case scenario July or August 2008 to become a law. just my 2 cents. I can only pray and hope I am wrong.
There are some inaccuracies in your post:
The CIR in the Senate passed on 25th May 2006. Bill number S. 2611 of 109th congress. (See for this on thomas.loc.gov )
The 60 day waiting period is something that may be removed this year as this year, the Dems are in control.
I can go on and on about why CIR did not become a law in 2006. However if one were allowed just one phrase to describe the reason why CIR didnt happen in 2006, is : United States House of Representatives (http://www.house.gov/).
If you remember, in Nov 2005, the house had already pass its own CIR. They called it CIR, but no one else called it that. Its was H.R. 4437. Created by dear Chairman Jim Sensenbrenner. The bill provided for making illegal presence a felony and basically deporting 11 million already here. That was the House's CIR.
What happens this year, even God cannot predict. What we've said here at IV, is CIR will come in SENATE, in March-April. It will be debated and passed in Senate, most likely, just like last year. After that, as far as the House is concerned, it remains to be seen how much pressure the White House and Senate can put on them. Basically, if the White House were to direct a few more raids by ICE on some meat packing plants and some construction, that's all it takes for the House to be shamed into doing something about a widespread problem unless it wants to be called a do-nothing congress.
Now we cannot predict if the above course of events will take place. Its impossible to predict. Some people (on other sites) have laid out percentages like 20% chance this will happen, 80% chance that will happen. That's really laughable.

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)
lookin at the approvals i think it will take anywhere from 1-3 months

The status of my Travel document on USCIS site has been following for a while -:
Application Type: I131, APPLICATION FOR USCIS TRAVEL DOCUMENT
Current Status: Document mailed to applicant.
On September 20, 2007 we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service.
How long does it take for it to actually arrive??? Any idea??
Hi rc0878,
Yes, I do have EAD and AP in hand. I got my AP papers in mail around 1 week back. I am not sure about processing times at this very moment.
Also, received original 485 receipt notices from my Attoreny and it does say RD is July 2, 2007, which is good.
My case has successfully reached at NSC and have not seen any LUD after that. Still waiting for FP notices so that I can consider that everything is good with my case at NSC..
Thx..

I don't own a D70 or know of anyone, but sometimes I just wonder if it's the hands in control of the device that have a lack of experience and blame it on the equipment.
Rest assured that if that's the camera of your choosing, buy it and I'm sure that you will be fine most likely. There are plenty of happy D70 owners that you're NOT hearing from, they are out taking photos!
The Canon 10D was plagued by forum reports of backfocusing, and perhaps there were a few/some that exhibited this behavior. But the majority do not and with everything, there may be a few bad apples in the bunch.
Buy your gear and don't worry so much about the forum problems you read about. You have a warranty if something just happens to be not right.
