"Mike Aytes, head of domestic operations for the USCIS, said all 147,141 employment-based green cards have now been issued for the year. "We are very sympathetic to the fact that people really had expectations … Folks spent a lot of time and effort, but it turned out they couldn't file, after all," he said."

we just came back from india (June end) to SFO
At primary area the officer just saw AP, scanned passports, checked something in the computer and sent us to secondary area.
At secondary inspection just submitted APs(all copies),passport. After 45 mins they called us
returned the passport, I-94, and one original AP all stamped
If you are married and your wife is coming alone make sure she has all original copies of AP
We came from ahmedabad, and the immigration officer knew about AP so was smooth, but can be a real headache if airline guys are unaware of it (headache means time consuming).
hope this helps

Your lawyer does not know what he is talking about. There is no need to do anything. If you were on H1-B and still working at the same company, you are still under H1-B not under EAD no matter how you entered the USA.
You will lose H1B status if and ONLY IF, you use EAD.
AP is only a re-entry permit and has no effect on your immigration status.
Vivek -
I have similar situation.
Now, my H1b expires in a few months. I am wondering whether I am eligible for H1b extension as I have Parolee I-94.
Please let me know. Thanks

Emigration or Immigration ?? Isnt there a difference between the two ;-)
As per m-w.com
Emigrate :-
Etymology: Latin emigratus, past participle of emigrare, from e- + migrare to migrate
: to leave one's place of residence or country to live elsewhere <emigrated from Canada to the United States>
Immigrate :
Etymology: Latin immigratus, past participle of immigrare to remove, go in, from in- + migrare to migrate
intransitive verb : to enter and usually become established; especially : to come into a country of which one is not a native for permanent residence
Hope the writer of the article knows the difference too....

I was wondering if we could have on this site some reliable information about the most important aspects of GC processing. People are posting a lot all the time and asking the same things all over again, and while many answers are pertinent, we must realize not everyone knows the laws and rules.Not to mention how much time it takes to search the threads and find what you want to know. If there was a place where they could lookup the information they need and this information would be provided by knowledgeable persons, like admins or moderators, not other members, maybe we could avoid having so many threads and posts.I understand that would involve some effort, but in the end there would not be so much need to go thru all the posts and make sure people are not misleading others or create panic.
Of course, this is stil a forum and it's only natural to have people expressing themselves, but maybe in that situation they would not have to post so much and use the space on the servers.
Thank you
Spending a few minutes and searching through the forum would probably answer some of the basic questions and some of them are posted in the sticky's but people dont have the patience and they need answers straight away and open a a new thread. So how would you the threads to be less. If a 5 people open threads just to talk about receipts or dhl or ups or fedex tracking then it would add no value but just threads..
--go figure ..

You have to use I-824 if you change the consulate, if it is a consular case. If your I-94 is extended within america, there is no need. However because of PIMS, it is better to initiate a I-824 and get confirmation before proceeding for stamping. It is better to check your lawyer to get the right legal advise.
Guys,
I had applied for my original H1 in London, First extension in Vienna Austria, and the last one in Delhi... and when i went to Delhi Embassy site - Since I was an H1-b holder already working in USA I had the option to apply at any consular office in India... I chose Delhi and will do it again in Dec at Delhi...
In short - unless is consular processing you can choose any consulate/embassy you want provided you have a reason to be there in that country... I think Mexico and Canada are exceptions to that rule as well...
Hope this helps

Hey Guys
I need your help on these issues. My labor certification was filed on October 25th 2006 and had it approved on 5th of November 2006.
Now my employer is ready to file the 1-140 together with 1-1485. My question is, I do not now whether my priority date is current for the filling of these forms.
Looking at the above filling date, can some one brief me on my likely priority date?
The other question is, even though my employer is taking the responsibilty of my filing process, I am paying all the expenses ( be it the Attorney fee as well as other additional fees are being borne by me).
When do you think will be appropriate for me to quit this job after my 1-140 and 1-1485 have been filed? Please advice me on this because my initially promised to pay for all the expenses but denied this after I have taken up the job.
Your priority date is the date your labor certification application was filed or the date you filed I-140 if your category does not require a labor certification.
So, in your case your PD is October 25, 2006. If you are EB1 or EB2 and not from India or China then I would say your priority date is current and you may file both I-140 and I-485 concurrently. Otherwise, you may file I-140 now and then file I-485 when your PD is current.
To find if your PD is current check the Visa Bulletin at http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_1360.html
Using AC21 you may quit after your I-485 has been outstanding for more than 180 days. If you quit before then, you may have to restart your GC process.

Please see some answers I am guessing:
1. Do I Need an airport transit visa since iam travelling visa France ?
No idea. Do not think so.
2. How long will it take to get my fresh passport if I applied over the counter on emergency system (Tatkaal) If you mail it it takes a week, over the counter should be much-much faster - same dayThey do it same day for Visa. I believe that they should do it for new passport too. Indian consulate has good information on their website.
3. Can I travel with an expired H4 visa ? you can always go back to India - travel to India is fine since you are a citizen of India (guessing). Comming back you need a visa, and your expired visa wont do. you need a valid H4 visa that is stamped in your passsport, by US Consulate. You have to get an approved I-539 here before you leave for India. Then on your visit to India, you can schedule an appointment at the US consulate to get the Visa (Appointment has to be scheduled way in advance and nowadays there are other requirements like mailing the papers in advance- please check on website)
Please check with a lawyer or consult lawyers website for other requirements.
My opinion, please do not rely on this information
Iam on H4 and my visa expired on oct 31 '06 , I have apllied for extension on oct 20 '06 , but havent got my extension yet, I have another problem my passport is expiring on Feb 13 '07. WIll be going to Houston to get my fresh passport this weekend.
I have to visit India this month end and have booked my tickets trhough delta, from Us to India via Paris(France).
I have 3 questions :
1. Do I Need an airport transit visa since iam travelling visa France ?
2. How long will it take to get my fresh passport if I applied over the counter on emergency system (Tatkaal) [.
3. Can I travel with an expired H4 visa ?
Please Help ???

I went to Kanha and Bandhavgarh National parks, the last two times I had been to India. The december season is not the best one for tiger viewing, however; if you give it 2-3 days, you will see some activity.
I will recommend Bandhavgarh. Although not as accessible as Kanha, the forest has best tiger density of all Indian parks and hence improves your chance of sighting. The forest area is much smaller than Kanha, so you will see less of other wildlife, there are no bisons or barasinghas in Bandhavgarh, but you will definitely see tigers. Took 4 game drives, sighted twice, once two tigers were fighting ferociously. Captured it all like on Animal planet.
Kanha: Is a much bigger& beautiful forest, is more easily accessible. I took 3 game drives in 2008, no sightings. You have better chance of sighting other animals such as sloth bears, nilgai, bisons here. Spotting a tiger can be and in any forest will be a matter of chance. Kanha still has a tiger show in the morning in which if they see a tiger they take you by elephant to the tiger. This show is no more in play @ Bandhavgarh.
All of my 7 game drives were a thrill & most memorable experiences. You can take a flight to Jabalpur from Delhi and either forest is a 6 hr drive from there. Watching a tiger in the wild and the thrill to seek it was one of the most memorable moments of my life.
Or you can go to Kajuraho from Delhi by flight and Bandhavgargh is a 6 hr drive.
Have fun in what you do.
Do you go with family/kids? game drive? Do you drive through the forest in a personal vehicle? Jeep? Are there guides available? You said 2-3 days so are there motels nearby? Seems very interesting activity and completely agree with the thrill (fear!). What about sunderbans? have you been to any other reserves? finally are these areas safe (I mean from man attacks-thieves). Are there forest guest houses available? How much was the average total cost (including flight, stay, etc)? Appreciate you sharing such information

Hi Friends.
I got the pink slip 3 weeks back with one month severance. So my target was to secure the job in one month to avoid loss of pay. Finally secured the job with 3 offers from 3 top companies.
Some tips if it may be helpful to others , that I recently expereinced
1. Read your resume thoroughly and see if there are anything that you can improve and make the resume with the core skills, do not make the resume of mix of different profiles, like dba, architect, project manager, make them all seperate.
2. Try to make the submission to the direct employer or recruiter on top of the chain. You can do that finding contacts on linked in.
3. Do not compromise a lot, this makes these recruiters to think that you are vulnerable for any exploitation, (happened with me, I kicked there butt after getting selected and telling them on why did I do that)
All the best to everyone.

Well How do you know that all the members who are registered with IV is aware of this Webfax? Did you guys notify them in anyway? Do you expect/mandate all the IV members should be checking the website/forums all the time? No Hard feeling.... Just my 2 cents

I was just thinking from the view of the people who are opposing have argument that, new American Jobs will be taken away. In my first post, I have written that we have not thought of or do not want to think about dropping FB Visa recapture. But it was just a proposal that we can tell those people that no American job will be lost. I am not against Family based immigration or any kind of immigration. This idea was just put forward for those Groups who oppose immigration due to fear of taking away new American jobs.
PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD.
Family based visas has a lot of support from the citizens who are actually voting in the elections, no wonder politicians like it. No matter what you say, anti-immigrants will always twist the truth and spread the news that all these visas are new and will take away American jobs. Dont you think family based people will want to drop all the employment based green cards?

Here is the satement of Senator Salzar on ICE Action and the Need for CIR
http://salazar.senate.gov/news/releases/061212immg.htm
It is common knowledge that CIR is required - perhaps more visible than the SKIL, since most Senators or Reps are either not that aware or not that concerned, about the Skilled Non-Immigrant community.
Either case - whether it's the CIR that comes to the fore during the 110th congress or the SKIL, it will be advantageous for us.
For now, I guess all we can do is wait for the new congress to step in, in Jan to see what happens.

Translate yourself and get it approved by a friend/colleague who knows your written native language and English.
Theory behind translation service is this- It is an open document, so whoever translating can not lie. If I translate incorrectly from Marathi, 100 other Marathi speakers or a Marathi literati can easily point that out.
Something like our public key , private key encryption :-) :)
