U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced that it has posted a revised Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Form I-485. In addition to a revised form, there are new filing locations. The changes are part of an overall effort to transition the intake of USCIS benefit forms from Service Centers to Lockbox facilities. Centralizing form and fee intake allows USCIS to provide the public more efficient and effective initial processing of applications and fees.
Beginning February 25, 2010, most applicants must submit Form I-485 to a USCIS Lockbox facility, depending on the eligibility category under which they are filing, as provided in the form instructions. USCIS Service Centers will forward all Form I-485 applications to the appropriate Lockbox facility until March 29, 2010. USCIS will accept previous versions of Form I-485 until March 29, 2010. After March 29, 2010, USCIS will only accept the Form I-485 dated �12/03/09.�Any previous versions of the the form that are submitted will be rejected. After the transitional period, the Service Centers will return any incorrectly filed Form I-485 with instructions to send the application to the correct location.
At this time, applicants should not concurrently file Form I-485 with an Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker (Form I-140) at a USCIS Lockbox facility. Refer to the Form I-140 filing Instructions for information on how to file forms concurrently.
When filing Form I-485 at a Lockbox facility, you may elect to receive an email and/or text message notifying you that USCIS has accepted your application. To receive notification, you must complete an E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance (Form G-1145), and attach it to the first page of your application.
For more information on USCIS programs, visit (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis) or call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.

I do not know about the number of recipts#, but if you gave the checks for the applications then most of the banks give images of cashed-check. That image will have the recipt number printed on the back side of check.
BTW, When did your 485 application/package reach USCIS? June or July 2007
Yes. You can get the numbers for the cancelled checks as well.

Hi Gurus,
Here is my situation. Have H1B expiring on June 2008. Planning to Renew. I-140 approved last Month. I485 applied and pending for more than 180 days. Have EAD, AP.
Now - I am planning to switch to another job for Title , Hike. Not happy with the current company.
I have the following question :
1) If I switch,what will happen to my I-485 / I-140. do I need to reapply ? . do I lost my priority date.
2) If I go to India, what will happen to My 485/140. Can I change AOS to consular processing.
Please advise.
1. Use Ac21
2. Are you going to India for a visit or long time? you need to come before ur AP expires and get a new one(If H1 is not valid)
Otherwise you can take a vacation on H1.
For Cp you have to withdraw your 485 application and refile your application.

By Deborah Notkin, AILA Past President
Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has successfully carried out a crusade against the fraud and deception of "immigration consultants" who take advantage of unknowing and vulnerable immigrants. At a recent media conference, Cuomo indicated that his office is seeking civil remedies, at least initially against those involved in immigration assistance fraud because the first goal is to get restitution for victims. http://www.ag.ny.gov/media_center/2010/mar/mar1a_10.html
The latest victory in the fight against immigration fraud and victimization was announced by Cuomo's office on March 1, 2010. The Attorney Generals' Office has won a court judgment of more than $3 million against a "consultant" in Queens who has targeted and defrauded immigrants. In this case, the "consultant" routinely charged a retainer of $7,000 with fees often reaching up to $15,000 per person for the promise of permanent residence. The consultant wrongly claimed that she could get permanent resident status through alleged relationships with government officials. Of course, the services were never performed and the consultant routinely refused to give refunds or return documents.
As a result of Cuomo's lawsuit, the New York Supreme Court has ordered the consultant to pay full restitution to 37 families who came forward and demonstrated that they were defrauded by this consultant. An additional $2.7 million in penalties was imposed for engaging in the unauthorized practice of law and misrepresentation of services that could be performed. The consultant is also permanently restricted directly and indirectly from engaging in the business of immigration-related services.
Over the past several months, other consultants have been shut down and active investigations continue. The fight to end this blight on immigrant communities in New York City and State continues and serves as an example for all who are committed to fighting immigration fraud and the unauthorized practice of law.

I like the DOF, and it would also work if the whole string of flowers were sharp.
There is possibly a bit too much flash, the shadows between the flowers are a bit hard IMHO.
I'd clone out the leaf at the lower left.

We can't mount fire-fighting operation on each and every front. Let's ignore them.
We have a purpose to tell, educate, highlight the issues we all legal immigrants face. This has happened under this Republican Regime. Various reasons - mainly lack of funds, lack of green card numbers, lack of staff etc.
We can continue writing small specific personal letters to lawmakers. Then as a group we address employers asking them their effort to help them best employees.
I was browsing the jobs forum on craigslist and i was shocked to see some user urging people to call Senator Cornyn to not push H1 and Eb visa increases.

Why is receipt date different on the I485/EAD.
I am reading some of the posts from other members.
Their receipt data on the EAD is different(at least 1, 2 months delayed) from the date USCIS actually received their application. I thought USCIS is going to honour the actual date when they received the application by mail.
It is obviously more than 2 months late for many of the applications.
If some one to use AC21 portability, what exact date is honoured? the date when USCIS received the application or the receive date printed on the EAD?
Is the date when USCIS received is stored some where?
In my case, I filed my I485 on July27 at TEXAS Service Center, I received a notice on Oct 6 from CALIFORNIA Service Center, Details below :
Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Receipt Date : Oct 1, 2007
Notice Date : Oct 2, 2007
Current Status: This case has been sent to another office for processing because it has jurisdiction over the case.
On October 2, 2007, we transferred this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS to our TEXAS SERVICE CENTER location for processing because they now have jurisdiction over the case. We sent you a notice of this transfer. Please follow any instructions on this notice. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you.....
Now, I am not sure, what exactly is my Received Date. And how it went to California Center? I have confirmation from FEDEX tracking that it is delivered to Texas Center.

I mailed my first EAD application in the last week of Dec/09.
Never thought it would take so long for receipting, and worried something wrong in my application..
Good to see others ...
Will wait further then..
Next time will go online..although it requires a trip to local office for biometrics

Dallas-Fort Worth Immigration Lawyer Has Just Posted the Following:
On November 12, 2009, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) launched a 30 day pilot program to test the entry process for travelers under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) from Auckland, New Zealand to Los Angeles International Airport. The program automates the arrival/departure of travelers with an approved Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) for travelers on Air New Zealand Flight 6. Travelers on this flight will not need to fill out the paper I-94W.
The VWP allows nationals from VWP countries to fill out an ESTA application prior to traveling to the United States to determine the traveler’s eligibility and whether such travel poses a security risk. The ESTA application provides basic biographical, travel, and eligibility information and must be submitted online prior to traveling. There are currently 35 countries eligible to travel to the United States under the VWP. Travelers under this program may enter the U.S. for either business or tourism for up to 90 days without obtaining a visa.
To view the list of VWP countries please visit the CBP website at www.cbp.gov (http://www.cbp.gov).

Folks,
It is outrageous that NSC is not churning out any post April 2004 approvals for EB2-I. Is any one is taking any actions?
What can be done?
How do you know that NSC is not processing the post April 2004 EB-2 cases? any source like infopass or calling the customer service?

Will Advance Parole be valid until she comes back? Technically you cannot take her Green card and give it to her outside US.
