He is neither new nor inexperienced. He is one of the new gang which post pointless yet barely believable posts here. The purpose is to confuse, raise hopes and aggravate. Try to avoid responding to such posts. One good criteria is posts by people with just 2-5 posts and a few greens already.

After reading "Handing the president a win on a major issue like immigration reform in the run up to the 2008 elections might be good policy, but it would be bad politics." in the Time article, I have not much hope in getting a GC in the near future.
If the Democrats agrees with the Republicans and passes any meaningful CIR, then the whole credit would go to Bush and Co. It would make the Republican campaign very easy for Bush.
If I were a Democratic Senator, I would do every thing to block any CIR from getting passed.
With the record number of H1 applications recently, we can also expect that they would put serious limitations on H1, claiming that the whole thing is misused.
Apparently, the whole thing is hugely bad for America. It is not just Indian politician who can destroy their own country, American politicians can also do a fantastic job of destroying their country.
I feel sorry for my kids, who are US citizens by birth.
Cheers,

Thats good to know that lots of people have done this.
If someone can share their experience that will be great.
It is the first contract between Company (B) and my husbands company (A). Above all my husband himself found this project.
Above all, the contract between Company (B) and Company (A) does not mention the end client name, and the contract seems to be a general contract, basically saying that my husband is rendering services to Company (B).
I will really appreciate all the help and guidance.

USCIS will attempt to reconcile multiple 485s and combine them into one app. A lot depends on the A# assigned(should be present on the 485 receipt). If both your receipts show the same Alien number then you should be ok. If not that goes to the 'admin processing' procedure.
Even if your A# is same on both 485s, you should call USCIS and check to see if both the apps have been combined. That way once one of your 485s is approved the other will be given a NOID and you can withdraw the other app.
NOTE: On your one of your 485 appl, you should have marked yes for the question regarding previous/other 485s.

On the infopass web site, there are four categories, and I can't relate to any of them. I don't have an SR because the rep refused to open one; I don't have a notice. Is it still possible to go for infopass?
We offer 4 kinds of appointments for a case that you have already filed. Please choose from the following -
Order from Immigration Court - If you were directed to us for processing based on an order from the Immigration Judge. You must bring all documents required in the post order instructions given to you by the court.
Case Processing Appointment - If you received a notice to go to your local office for further case processing.
EAD inquiry appointment - If your I-765 employment authorization application has been pending for more than 90 days.
Case Services follow-up appointment - If it has been over 45 days since you contacted NCSC and have not received a response to your inquiry. You must bring the Service Request ID Number related to your inquiry to the appointment.
You made a different selection at the first step.
Under
Please select Kind of Service you need
You need Service on a case that has already been filed
You are a new Permanent Resident and have not yet received your Permanent Resident Card
You want to file an application in person
You need information or other services
You need a form.
You are a United States Military Member, Military Retiree or a Military Dependant
I guess you chose option 1. Here if you choose "You need information or other services" you can schedule one. Try your luck with infopass - it depends on the IO you talk to. Tell them that the customer service rep told you to go to infopass to get the PP stamped.

Hi Experts,
I E-Filed the EAD renewal on July 2nd. I sent all the required supporting documents properly. Also, completed the ASC - Finger print on Aug 5th. Meanwhile, on Aug 3rd, I got an RFE for the three missing documents.
They are ,
1. Photos
2. Application form not signed
3. Identity documents.
I do see that lot of RFEs are trigggered for photos and identity documents for e-filing.
But the main confusion pont here is that "Signature missing in the application form". I am not sure whether they checked if it is E-filed or not. Also, the have mentioned in the RFE letter that "Pl. ensure that you sign and return the enclosed photocopy of your application" for point 2. Funny part is, I only got the RFE letter and the GOLD paper(cover letter). Thats all. No other documents enclosed. I am totally confused at this point whereas photos and identity docs RFE are generally seen in the forum.
1. Please advice me if I have to fill in a new application with signature and send it.
2. Please suggest me if I have to write a cover letter with all the details to explain to the USCIS officer along with filled-in application.
3. Am i eligible for the Interim EAD Card after 90 days starting from July 2nd? I do see in few threads that I may not get the Interim EAD card after 90 days period as the 90 days clock will be reset when the officer resumes my application after receiving my RFE docs.
I am totally confused and job is at stake.
Eagerly waiting for your expert guidelines.
Thanks,
Raj

how can they approve 485's by 2010 if there are very limited visas available. Getting EAD or AP is not the end of the road. Final freedom is when you get the GC and that is not possible if unless we all lobby to change the law....I hope people understand that we are in for a very long wait if there is not change in the law, quota..
USCIS can simply say that they have eliminated backlogs by processing all applications.This does not IMPLY that all 2007 filers will have green cards in their hands.. Please understand thay my reply is not directed to you, instead it is in response to all the people i meet who expect to have GCs by 2010...its simply not possible with status quo.
Many point to track it and say that 485s are being approved out of turn. Please understand that this to is a load of crap, either some people are exteremly lucky or USCIS screwed up a small number of cases..the rest of us are in the same slow sinking boat to nowhere.
Take a look at this link. As per this, 2010 is the timeline promised by USCIS to clear all backlogs.

One of my friends had his 485 pending. He took leave of absence from company and went on to pursue full time MBA for 2 years.
In the middle of MBA, company had to remove him from payroll due to re-org.
Green card came in a few months.
He is now doing a hot shot MBA job using GC.
Will he face issues during N-400?
Is there anything wrong in what he did?
This is according to Ron Gotcher at http://immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6273
----------
Generally speaking, there is nothing to prevent someone from going back to school while they await final green card processing. The new school program, however, raises two important questions:
First, after completing the new program, will you work in the same or similar occupational classification as that for which you received foreign labor certification? If so, then there is no problem. If not, that presents a very serious problem. At first glance, it would appear that receiving an MBA would move you into a different occupational classification. That will certainly be an issue if you pursue this path.
Second, you are obligated to take up employment in your field within a reasonably short time after your green card is approved. I would think that if you had already started a new semester, you could wait until it ended to resume your employment, but not much beyond that.

Hello all,
My 6 year H1B is ending on May 21, 2009. I am eligible to file for a 3 year extension since my 140 is approved and I485 has been filed in Aug 2007. However, my current job situation is pretty shaky and I could be laid off anytime. I have an EAD but would like to continue my H1 because my priority date is Jan 2007 (EB3 India)...i.e. a long GC wait. I have been told by my current employer's attorney that I can start the process of extension 6 months prior to current H1B expiring.
But given my job situation, I was thinking of looking for employment with another employer as soon as possible. Will the new employer be able to file for my H1 transfer AND H1 extension at the same time?
OR
Will they have to file for a transfer first (valid from date of switching to May 21, 2009), then wait for approval and then file for the 3 year extension??
I tried looking around for my question but could not find good thread for answer. Please let me know your views and/or point me to a good source for this information.
Thanks

While I am touched by your concern for EB1 fraud and how it impacts EB3, i would hazard a guess that the OP was a troll OP and does not merit any answers
EB1 Spill Over --> EB2 with oldest priority dates --> EB2 ROW --> --> EB3 with oldest priority dates(India & China) -->EB3 ROW.
Believe me, stopping EB1C fraud directly helps EB3 India.

Do we need photo copies (about originals - having original labor is not possible it would have been submitted with I140; most employer keep the original I140 as well). Some companies dont provide copies of labor or I140.
Is it risky to change jobs and invoke AC21 in this situation? (This is the scenario: labor, I140 is approved. I485 is pending for six+ months. EAD and AP are approved and are with cadidate; have six months pay stubs/tax info to prove that have been original labor sponsored employer for six months after filing I485).
Thanks.

Can someone please confirm if "Card Production Ordered" email from USCIS mean my 485 is approved and I have gotten GC ?
I have only got this "Card Production Ordered" email and not an email specifically saying "485 approved". How long does it take after "Card Production Ordered" email to get actual card.
Also if May bulletin is Unavailable it still means that GC;s issued if your date is current in April are valid ? My email came yesterday same day as the new May bulletin ?
If I remember right from your older post you are the one who was waiting for some 15-18 years right ? You deserve it. Congrats my friend and enjoy your life ahead.

If so, what are you using? I'm using a Nikon 60mm f/2.8 AF-D micro, the usual reversers, the extension rings, etc. But I think I'm going to be buying myself some more working distance and invest in a 200mm f/4 micro - have you been happier with anything cheaper than this solution on your nikon?
Has anyone tried the Canon screw in diopter adjustment lenses for 77mm filter size Nikon lenses?
This is a 60mm Macro shot...

This is the same 60mm lens but with three extension tubes (pk11, pk12, pk13) stacked to increase magnification of the lens.
