I do not have the approval notice used to obtain a visa to enter the country for the very first time in 2001.
All attempts to obtain a copy of the I-797 from company/attorney have failed and so I have filed a I-824 for a duplicate. That will take a few months.
I am wondering what will happen if USCIS issues a RFE on my I-485 asking for evidence of lawful presence all these years.
I don't have all the I-94s either. I do have the visa stamp on my passport.
Man,
First of all change your title. It looks like you actually did get an RFE !
Secondly, they do not ask for your status since first entry. They look for last entry.
I've never seen any RFE like this.
I know 200,000 people who do not have their past I-797s and/or I-94s, none of them is worried....
If Immigration let you enter ona visa last time, alll your previous sins are forgotten!
Chill
And please change the title

Finished FP this morning. Got LUD on 485 45 mins after FP completion. Status language changed from
"The I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was transferred and is now pending standard processing at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you...blah..blah..blah"
to
"On October 9, 2007, we transferred this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS to our LINCOLN, NE location for processing because they now have jurisdiction over the case...blah..blah..blah"
Then got second LUD this evening with a 11/28 date on it, even though it was still 11/27, even on East coast. No change in mesg.
Any thoughts???

You must file AC21 letter before your old employer revokes I140. Otherwise, your I485 will be denied. Request your old employer to wait to revoke I140 until you have sent that letter.
Is this true??
I thought after 180 days, revocation of I140 by old employer will not affect the pending I485?

Hi,
My Wife is currently on H1B, but for personal reason she wants to quit her job and take a break from work for some time. She plans to quit some time in october 2007. But she wants to start working again sometime next year around June 2008. So here are my questions:
1. When she quits her job in october 2007 is her status automatically changed to H4 or do we need to fill up an application to USCIS ?
2. When she applies for H1B next year i.e. June 2008 will that be considered against the H1B cap ? If not, then can she apply around june next year to get her H1B, as opposed to applying early in April when the H1B quota gets full. Also if we apply in June 2008 will her start date be Oct 1'2008 or can she start working as soon as she receives her WAC/LIN number ?
3. When we apply for H1B next year will they require some H4 stamped on my wifes passport ? We dont plan to go out of the country for a couple of years so we will not be doing any stamping (H4). Currently she has her H1B stamped.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks

I am in the same position too. A couple of days back I talked to my lawyer and she told me its ok and that she has never heard of anyone's case being rejected or getting a RFE jus because they dint write their name in the native language.
One of friend's lawyer also said its not a big deal and if u r from India the USCIS wont bother abt it(dunno how true this is!)
All,
I sent out my application to USCIS last week and while talking to a friend I realized that I had not filled the Item
"If your native alphabet is in other than Roman letters, write your name in your native alphabet below:"
I neither filled it with my native alphabet nor filled it with a "N/A" Even my lawyer has not detected this.
Is this going to be an issue? What will the USCIS do about it? Since I still have time does it make sense to send a revised form? Is some one out there who have done this?
Please let me know
Thanks

Thanks a lot for the response Glus. So if I understand right, my chances of getting a non immigrant Visa (F1/B1/Visitor) is forever impaired because I decided to ditch US and leave for my home country once upon a time?
In other words, I can never step back into the US?

The Senate and the house may be passing the tax refund bill soon (due to slowing economy). There is lot of pressure on the government to act soon.
Can we get them to attach atleast one of our provisions with these bills - the most important and non controversial being recapture of unused visa numbers.
Just a suggestion................I know there is no dearth of suggestions.
We should definitely try (in addition to writing letters).
Can we get some more information about this bill? Who are the key players supporting/pushing it, who/how do we contact to try and push some of these reforms?

My priority date will become current on June 1st 2011. I will add my wife to green card process on June 1st 2011 (she is in US in H-4 status now). My I-485 is with Texas processing Center.
If I leave my sponsoring (green card) employer after 3-4 months of getting my green card and join another employer or have my own company, does it affect my wife's green card process assuming it takes 6-7 months for her to get her green card.

I have a thought, right now the housing industry is slowing down, The new home sales have dropped signinficantly last month.
We all know that Indians and Chinese are very good savers and have significant amount of their salary saved. Normally Indians and Chinese do not commit to buy a home when their GC is in process. They wait for a GC to be approved and buy a house only after they get their GC.
SO CAN WE TAP INTO THE LOBBYISTS FROM THE HOUSING INDUSTRY??
My thesis is one of the MAIN reasons in the new homes slow down is that people are waiting either at labor stage in BEC or in stage 3 for priority date for GC to be approved to buy houses.
We are talking about well educated well paid immigrants who have a very good discipline of saving and will definitely become home owners if GC is approved faster.
SO CAN WE CONVINCE THE HOUSING INDUSTRY LOBBYISTS TO FUND OUR LOBBYING OR USE THEIR RESOURCES FOR OUR JUST CAUSES??
Just a thought......

We had one LUD on 1-485 after FP, then on I-140 there are three LUDs, I dont know why. LUD Dates are 11/4, 11/21 and 11/23, there is no LUD on I-485 and my I-140 approved last year. Why they are touching already approved case this many times.
Thanks,

I came across comments that H1 to EAD is one way. So its better to be in H1 rather than being in EAD. The expenses may not be great even you have to shell out some dollars. If you wish to change jobs and get around 30% increase use EAD.
I attended an interview that i have EAD then when it came to negotiations on salary i accepted the little lower offer and asked them to do H1B transfer. It works....

The EM immigration is just a mess....Basically a bunch of congressmen discussed about it and created some rules!
Labor certification is the most ridiculous thing! I-140, I-485 blah blah...., just like the sub-prime mortgage mess these are paper work mess created by US lawmakers. Their intention was good, but the in reality nothing makes sense. I wish the Immigration committe invites H1 people and discuss with them the real issues just like how they speak with businesses.
I think, we should follow the EU way. Do all the stupid paperwork before you bring anyone to US. Once someone is here he/she should have a green card (atleast a temp green card). After 3 years, the temp card should be converted to a permanent green card. What is going on here is just "Modern day slavery"! H1 B people are exploited by Employers/Lawyers.
We dress nice, have cars, sometime homes, but we also have a virtual (invisible) handcuffs which noone sees!
I am just sick and tired!

FYI: Reg. EAD, AP and H1 usages and Extension possibilities:
I entered as a Parolee last year using AP. I have EAD since 2005 - but, never used it due to continuous H1 apprival with Sponsoring employer.
My H1 expires in few months and my empoyer applied for extension; I just heard that it is approved this week (I did not get any papers yet). My employer uses H1 only (no EAD details provided since 2005). I am working on H1 (not on EAD) even thought I used AP in my last entry.
My wife entered using AP and we got her H4 approval as well for another 3 years (I may not need!). This is my fourth H1 (i.e. almost 9 yrs in H1 already).
It is my 4th EAD for my safety (backup) reasons and never used with this employer yet (and nor with another job yet). My attorney asked me not to try for H1 stamping now-a-days and just travel using AP and work on H1 as long as I am with this employer!

Hopefully, all will be well and does not affect the productivity at CIS...The productivity is already so low at CIS...Hoping for the best...
