My priority date is EB3 (August 2005). Last week her status changed to following. The thing is I checked with my lawyer & my employer and both said that they never received any RFE or never responded anything for my wife to USCIS.
Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Response to request for evidence received, and case processing has resumed.
On July 24, 2008, we received your response to our request for evidence. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. You should expect to receive a written decision or written update within 60 days of the date we received your response unless fingerprint processing or an interview are standard parts of case processing and have not yet been completed, in which case you can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done. This case is at our TEXAS SERVICE CENTER location. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.
This is not similar to the Op's case. Your case was transferred to the texas processing center because that center processes all cases from the north east or the eastern state, the op's case was transferred to a local uscis office,

Guys and Gals,
I decided to go with my credit union and called them this morning to lock the rates. I just received some disclosures and rate lock agreement, when I was reading it, there was a section where it asks "Are you a U.S citizen?", loan office assumed that I'm a citizen and checked the box.
I understand that I should tell them the truth, but wondering if that may increase my interest rates. Please share your experience or advice you may have for me.
H1B - Valid till 2011
EAD - Expires on Sept 08 (will be renewing it soon).
You have to inform that you are in H1 ...Mention to them that you are processing your green card.I own my home for the past 4 years.At first she was hesistant and later she did work out great rates for me.Actually it does not matter.

Called USCIS and they are asking me to take an Infopass appointment.
Update1: Infopass appointment was not useful. They asked us to wait for the notification from MSC.
Sorry to hear about that ... try taking another infopass ... they should assist.
Like dhundhun said there must be a procedure for shuttling packets between offices
(When we did a infopass for EAD delay - we got a really good rep - but for a friend of mine the rep was less than helpful - for the exact same thing)

I find Ron Gotcher's website very informative. It�s your choice not to read or to disagree with the speculative part, but he definitely is doing a fantastic job of educating the immigration community by answering the simplest of questions. I don�t care if this is a marketing tool for him, but I get a huge relief on the verge of getting laid off, when he quotes from the law-book to assure me that it�s ok to be unemployed after AOS. He takes the time to do that for me. There are not too many out there doing the same!
(just don�t jump on me yet saying that there are other attorneys out there answering the same question, as I just said it as an example)

Try the following:
1. Send all the documents that are requested to the field office one more time with FedEx signature confirmation. Take InfoPass appointment and fly to the field office and see what's going on.
2. Find your local congressman/woman by using Zip Code. Call him/her and speak to person in charge of immigration matters. Take an appointment or send them all your case details and copy of all the documents. They will follow it up generally with the agency. Also, send a personal letter describing about the hardships that you are facing because of this delay.
3. Send the same package to both the senators of your state. Follow up with them by making a phone call and personal appointment.
4. Check with your employer if they have wage issues with DOL or tax issues with IRS or other RFE cases like yours in the past. Ask them if these are resolved.
The seattle, WA office or any other local office doesnt accept form I907 (which is for PP). After my case transfered to seattle, WA my employer tried to convert into PP. He sent it to USCIS, CA they said it is not with them so they can not accept it. Then he sent it to Seattle, WA with all the letters attached. The seattle office rejected the 907 saying they dont accept 907 in their office.

Indian work visas for US citizens equal H1Bs L1s (http://www.samachar.com/Indian-work-visas-for-US-citizens-equal-H1Bs-L1s-le2mJKhhjcc.html)
That article is a joke and more like propaganda. It says around 58K H1Bs are issued and most of them are extension - but are they not aware the extensions are not counted towards the cap...?
The moment I read this...I have stopped reading any further.
The job is first moved by the out sourcing firm and then offered for Americans...?

what is your PD, Country etc?
Hi everyone, I have been approved on 9/6/7.
only 92 days after AOS filing.
My sponsor, I did work with them from 2002-2007. They agree to file i-485 in the hopes economy would get better. However house builders are doing very bad now and they cannot take me back after approval.
The question is, does this spoiled my chances for citizenship?

The benefits to the porting are obvious. However let me share with you the considerations:
1) You have to change jobs presumably on another H1b visa in order to do so. There is inherently a risk in this when you do not have a green card. You'd certainly be a brave soul to change jobs on an EAD based on your EB3 petition while trying for an EB2 petition. How would you justify the same/similar requirement?
2) PERM labor certification is not going to be what it was previously given the current oversight.
3) Ported cases will definitely get more scrutiny (and probably more RFEs) from the USCIS.
4) Premium processing of 140 petitions is for a narrow subset of 140 filers who need to extend their H1b visas, failing which you are likely to take well over a year to get you 140 approved and therefore your PD ported.
5) Political calculations and the elections will be over by later this year, there will definitely be the impetus to address immigration as an urgent issue in the new political cycle and there will likely be a solution. If you are at the 485 stage, with a retrogressed PD as your only issue then you have one problem, if you are at an earlier stage then you may not be approvable at the stage when they are "generous".
If even after all this you feel your best chances are with EB2 then you should go ahead.
Good luck.

...and you dont want to get a H-1B visa stamped because it is risky? What kind of risk does that involve? There is no risk. Just get your H-1B stamped when you go to your destination. Simple.
My F1 visa was rejected for no good reason long back, before i even came on H1B. So its kind of scary every time I have to go for visa stamping. Its very random. Guess its just the fear inside me.
So I guess its all about the risk, if or not I want to get my H1B visa stamped or just wait for the freaking AP.

Thank you so much for your responses! I did not mean to lie to the consulate when I answered "no" on the form the previous time. I think the thing that we've actually came back in time proves it. The new DS-160 form doesn't have this questions because I've heard that many people were confused by it. The consulate officer did not ask us if we were planning to immigrate to the US. I know of quite a few people who were issued a non-immigrant visa while replying "yes" to that question. Does it mean the law was broken on that case?
Does it matter if the "I-130" was not approved yet? Does it count "immigration intent" from the date they've received documents from my brother? Please comment. Thank you.

No, I did not misunderstand. That reply had no quote included and therefore was directed to the person who opened the thread (see very first post from AkhiChopra) and that has everything to do with salary. :o
I think you misunderstood. The OP is talking about his friend, his company and payment from clients. It has nothing to do with salary

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)
Thanks, that explains. I realized only couple of weeks back that i didn't need AP since my H1 stamping is valid until 2008 end and hopefully my GC will be approved by then. Anyway now i have backup since my AP also got approved yday.
btw, i read somewhere here that when your AP I-94 is about to expire you ammend that with your H1 so you will have the H1 expiry date.

Hello :
My EAD is valid till August 10, 2010. This is my second EAD. 1st filed with I-485 in 2007 and second renewed in 2008.
First Renewal Attempt :
I therefore sent my papers to my employer in early April 2010 (120 days in advance). My employer to 10 days to file with USCIS (Snail Mail - Phoenix Lockbox). Then USCIS took another 30 days to look at my papers. They rejected it. Reason :
The check amount is incorrect, or has not been provided. Please review the Form Instructions for fee information. Please resubmit the application/petition package with the appropriate fees to the USCIS address listed on the bottom of this notice.
The eligibility code you provide on your I-765 requires proof that an I-485 has been submitted. Please resubmit your Form I-765 with a copy of your Form I-485 receipt notice (I-797).
Turns out my employer did provide checks were provided in the correct amount but the name on the check was incorrect "USCIS Vermont Office"...Go figure.
Further, I had never received my I-485 receipt notice in mail (filed when the flood gates opened in July/August 2007). I had however received my ASC FP notice and had used it in my previous EAD renewal in 2008. I had sent in a copy of this with my paperwork. That did not seem to have worked. So I called USCIS NSC and they informed me that I need to attach a cover letter with my application explaining that I did not receive the I-797 for the I-485.
Second Renewal Attempt :
So this time, I filed my application to the Phoenix Lockbox myself via snail mail (never efiled so thought why take a chance). I sent my own checks payable to "US Department Of Homeland Security" as mentioned in the I-765 instructions. I also included a cover letter about my missing I-485 receipt notice and sent in the I-485 ASC FP notice copy along with a printout of the pending I-485 from USCIS website.
This new app reached USCIS on June 1, 2010.
It got rejected again and reached me yesterday on June 19, 2010. Reasons...Exactly the same as before.
Needless to say, I was confused, frustrated, angry, sad...and everything in between.
Starting Third Attempt :
Given that only 50 days are left for my current EAD to expire. I e-Filed again yesterday (June 20 2010) hoping that by doing so, I will bypass the Phoenix Lockbox and will avoid the reason for rejection regarding the check.
I will be mailing my supporting documents tomorrow. They will reach USCIS on June 22 2010. The only thing/s addtional that I am sending in now are...
a) The top tear-off from the original EAD mailer (had forgotten to send it in last two times as I thought it was not necessary)
b) A request for correction on the eFiled EAD as I mentioned "Country Of Citizenship" as "USA" instead of "India" (Thanks to my frustrated mood and the poor usability of the I-765 online form).
Request advice...
I know that I will have to stop working on August 11 2010 and I can't earn for as long as I don't have a valid EAD in my hand. I also know that it does not affect my Green Card I-485 app as long as I don't work without and EAD.
So what should I do from here on? Should I wait...I still have 50 days to hope to get my renewed EAD in. Should I call USCIS and request expedited processing of my case...but I haven't even received my receipt notices yet. Should I book and INFOPASS appt...but INFOPASS appointments for I-765 are only issued if it has been more than 90 days since the application was filed?
I will really appreciate any comments/suggestion regarding my case.

I have 4 years degree with Masters. However, if you made through EB3 you should be able to get through EB2. Nevertheless, it is worth a try as gains are large. I understand there is a risk (no risk no gain).
I have just started the process and my labor is in process. I am filing with my current employer who filed my EB3 case. Green card is for future job so they are taking me for higher position say manger. My lawyer is making sure there is some kind of sync up with Eb3 labor and H1B application. They should be supporting the present labor application.
Your employer need to be supportive and should be willing to work with you that help a lot. They have added some managerial stuff and kind of technical lead. I have not used my experience with present employer.
To best of my knowledge, there is no impact to eb3 case.
Hope this help.
I don't think there's any relationship H1-application. H1's for current employment where as PERM labor is for future employment. Future meaning, after your 485 has been approved. One doesn't even need to be on H1 to proceed for Eb3 to Eb2 conversion.
