Ombudsman:
Get your facts straight. "Undocumented" does not mean a person who has "lost" his documents....it means a person about whom there is no record (i.e. documentation) at the USCIS/Dept. of State. A legal immigrant would not become out of status just because he lost his documents or they were destroyed in a flood or fire because there are typically copies and records available at the employer, the IRS, the Social Security Administration and the USCIS. A person who has all his documents would still be classified as illegal if he or she overstays their visa.
Anyways....please do not try to hijack this thread in a different direction than what is intended. After a series of hearing by the strongly enforcement only leaning house questioning each and every aspect of the CIR with negative connotations, finally, there is a hearing organized by Senator John Cornyn, who was instrumental in getting the SKIL bill included in the CIR focusing on something positive and fairly non-controversial in the CIR/SKIL/PACE bills and that directly affects all of us legal, documented, high skilled immigrants.
SO, to bring the thread back to its original intended path...Are there any members in the Dallas or nearby areas who would be interested in attending the hearing, please contact himanshu at immigrationvoice.org The hearing is scheduled for tomorrow.

Hi,
I self e-filed my EAD application and the Receipt date is 6/7/10. They called for Biometrics which is done.
I got an email saying that they have sent a RFE. Waited for 10 days, still no signs of RFE. When I called USCIS, they asked me to wait for 15 days. When I called after 15 days, they created a Service Request to re-mail the RFE. Now they say, I have to wait for 45 days. When I asked them if they will extend my deadline to reply to the RFE, she said she doesn't know.
Has anyone been in this situation ?
What kind of RFE will they send for an EAD extension.
I sent my 485 receipt and a copy of my EAD when I e-filed.
How many days do they usually give to respond to the RFE ?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks.

Similar situation...
I am getting married in the 1st week of Sep and am planning to get my spouse by mid Sep.
Can someone please suggest if I am fine, if I apply alone for I-485 around Jul30(and not for EAD and AP??) and add my spouse around sep20th. I-140 approval is pending and have a valid visa till '08.
How long does it take for the I-485 'approval' and is 2-3 months a safe window to add ones spouse?
Any suggestions and help with my planning are greatly appreciated. :)

Hi pd,
thanks for the post - its useful.
There is comment in the report about the EAD/AP validity for three years, as in "Employment authorization documents (EAD) are presently valid for one year at a time. The CIS is about to extend this validity to three years. The same is true of advance parole (AP) documents".
I thought they are now giving two years for EAD (if PD is under retrogession) - this plan of extending this validity to three years - is it new or some sort of typo? If true - that would be good.

Hi!
My lawyer filed my application in Nebraska on July 2 ( it should have been filed in Texas). Probably it will get transfered to Texas?
But I have not recieved any updates on my case
- no checks cashed
- no reciepts issued.
The USCIS asks me to wait for 3 months ( till Oct 2) to help in any way.
Is any one in similar situation. Is this normal?

Yes. 2001 to 2002 was the worst period as far as job market goes. I know, a lot of my friends left the country and went back to India. I was without a job for 5 months in 2001. Luckily, I had a secure job during 9/11 and afterwards. But, if 2008 is going to be anything like 2001-02, everyone should start preparing for it. Most of the members in IV might have an option to port their jobs, thanks to AC21. But, there are so many unlucky people who will have a tough time. From my past experiences and based on the current market, I think, banking is and will be the worst hit sector. Food Products, Medical, Insurance industries should be ok.
I had a lunch meeting with the President of my consulting Company.(This is an american company). She met with a few CIO's and gave us their view points. Most of these CIO's are going to budget for new projects and products for this fiscal year and beyond. But, they said, they will be cautious in actually using the budget so early in the year.
My personal opinion, If anyone is planning to use AC21 to port jobs, please do so carefully. If you already have a stable job, it would be best to hold on to it, instead of looking for better pay at this time.
Good luck to everyone in this economy.

But with the new rule, it doesn't matter if FBI name check is pending.If your PD is current, whether your name check is pendign or not GC will be approved.
Am I correct?
GC will be approved contingent on the grounds that it can be cancelled/annulled if the FBI name check comes up not in your favour when the FBI finally reviews your name ..In a way, it's a conditional approval till the actual FBI clearance....IV seniors may be better at answering this.

Great work Alok in getting this endorsement from AAPI and Dr Koli. This goes to prove that we are getting more and more broad based support.
IV has been endorsed by Dr Vijay N Koli, President of American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin! http://www.aapiusa.org/index.aspx
AAPI, under the able leadership of Dr Koli and its Legislative Director, Anurag Varma, have been helping us behind the scenes. With acceptance of this Advisory Role Dr Koli has chosen to formalize this relationship.
Dr Koli is an Internal Medicine physician who has been in practice for over 27 years in San Antonio, TX and who has ably led AAPI on some fresh initiatives. One of these involves AAPI formally providing expertise to the Indian Government in healthcare � this was formally acknowledged by the Prime Minister of India as one of the great initiatives at the latest Pravasi Bharatia Divas.
Our cause is strengthened by Dr Koli and AAPI & their blessings!

I filed in Mid July for I-140 with NSC. the dates in the web site shows in November 2005. Are you sure the dates are currently in MAY 2006. I cannot upgrade my case to premium processing for technical reasons. IF the dates are in MAY/June, I would appreciate JAnilsal if you can reconfirm them.
Approvals for Mid-may have started now. They are in that region. July cases would be Nov/Dec.
I am telling because my mid-may I-140 case got approved today. I am from retrogressed country. So cannot file I-485.
Atleast you are able to file it, then why are you restless? Go have a beer!

Hi
Only My wife has got a medical RFE.
It talks about going to original civil surgeon and getting a TB test again and a Xray.
Did you face a similar situation as ours?
If yes can you throw some light on how to proceed.
I cannot go to the same surgeon since I live very far now.
Also worried why they have generated this RFE when I had submitted everything properly!
Anyways any guidance provided is much appreciated.
Thanks

From what I know TN visa is not dual intent like H1B.
This is correct.
So you can't continue processing your GC when holding a TN visa.
This is NOT correct.

[From the link]
The fact that an alien is the beneficiary of an approved I-140 petition may not be, in and of itself, a reason to deny an application for admission, readmission, or extension of stay if the alien�s intent is to remain in the United States temporarily.

Thank you very much for the response. My lawyer just responded back to DOL like around a week ago. It is very frustrated that I still don�t hear anything from DOL so far. I wonder if I change my visa to F1 by attending the school full times such as attending college. Can I stay in US and wait until I got my green card approved? Is it possible to do so?

As others mentioned, If you apply for J1.. Your husband wont be able to apply for 485 for you for SURE unless you are done with J1 Waiver. You may also potentially jeopardize your husbands 485 application because USCIS may find out that you(spouse) are on J1 even if he does not apply 485 for you. I am not sure about this point thou, You may want to confirm with a lawyer.
As i see things the only safe BET is your husband applies for 485 for both of you only after you finish your J1 waiver. Again in this case if USCIS finds you have done J1 in the past, Your application could be potentially delayed because they may have to do additional checks to confirm J1 waiver etc. When it comes to USCIS IMHO its better to not give them reasons to delay your application if possible.
Since in your case as you have not started yet you are looking at 3 years of residency + lets say 3 year of J1 waiver
So for the next 6 years from the day you start residency you may not be eligible to apply for 485. And the way USCIS works where they suddenly open the window to apply, I dont think its a good idea.
I would say find a program which sponsors H1B strictly. We faced the same predicament 2/3 years back when my wife applied for residency. We strictly applied to H1B residency programs only and my wife got into one of them (She had very good USMLE scores(99/98) and some good recos/prev work exp).
Hope this helps.
I'm trying to secure a residency in one of the hospitals in the US and my husband is already has I140 approved for himself. Currently i'm in the US on H-4 status and want to apply for residency at one of the hospitals. The problem is, some hospitals only offer J-1 visa and i know there is some restrictions to J-1 visa, that i might have to serve in some under serve area for ? years.
I was thinking that i can sign the contract but by the time i'm done with my residency, my husband will already have his EAD or atleast GC and he wil aplly for me as well. WOuld this releive me of the responsibility to serve in an underserve area ot not? Thanks.

Do they have a signature authorization from you? If not , they can not send a G-28 that is not signed by YOU !
even my employer didnt allow us to file saying, if employee files, FBI will get mad thinking it has toxics in it :D :D :D
trust me thats what they told me..dunno what he thinks..:) :)
but the point is I sent my docs to my employer and I didnt include any G-28 in it..which means we signed as we prepared all docs..
Now can they attach G-28 and introduce themselves as representatives and swallow all receipts???
