It is not 1 month , it is 21 days to be precise.
Your attorney messed up with Labor, was sleeping from Feb 25 (Labor approved) to March 4 (129 mailed). Why is that a fault of CIS ?

My I485 is pending, recently I have changed my address online. I also recieved confirmation letters for this address change.
After 2 weeks of address change, USCIS issued an RFE. I have not yet received it, but I just want to prepare for this.
What could be the reason for this RFE? Is it common?

I bought a D70 October 29th, and have terrible back focus problems. I've been a photographer since 1959, used Nikons since Vietnam in 1968, and know what I'm doing.
To test whether the back focus might be my fault somehow, I have had several friends use the camera without telling them what I was testing. All had awful back focus; not one low light, wide aperture image is anywhere near acceptable.
Clearly, this is a systemic problem with the D70. I had similarly disabling problems with my first two FEs when I bought them in about 1978; apparently Nikon still tests its products on its first year's customers. Back then, it caused me to change to Canons until I bought an N90s and came back to Nikon.
I might do the same thing again. It is very sad; I like my Nikons and we've seen a lot together, but this is the way a company drives its loyal customers away.

I was the guy from Sweden. I agree with the Russian student.
The reason I was there was because my green card process was a painful and stressful experience for 5 years. And I was still one of the lucky ones! I don't want to put anyone through the same agony, not even my worst enemy. I really feel for the people still stuck in the mess.
I talked to a Polish guy who had been here 9 years fully legally and could not leave. He had not seen his family in 9 years and did not want to risk going back just in case they would not approve his H1B in his home country. They are very strict there it seems, because none of his family members or friends could not even get a tourist nor visit visa to see his graduation. Shocking!
I was glad I showed up at the rally just to hear all the peoples' stories.
Most people who did not show up probably think they are ok after applying the i485. They will join IV rallies, when they realize how wrong they are. People have applied for i485s years ago and still don't have a green card...

What???? without checks cashed you got Receipt?
Are you sure? Did you put your checks or attorney used his?
They may have been deposited, but I havent seen it clear off of my account yet, or my bank may be slow, but I do have another friend who is in the same scenario, I am guessing it should clear off my account today though.

Hi All,
Could someone provide some guidance regarding my situation:
1. Currently on 6th year H1-B valid till Mar, 2008, with visa stamped in Mumbai Feb 2005.
2. Have applied for I-485, AP, EAD on June 25, 2007 as dependent on spouse's employment based GC (India, EB3, , priority date Jan 2003). Got EAD, have FP done.
3. The last time I came back from India in Feb 05 after visa stamping, I-94 was stamped with expiry date of 12/26/06 since passport was expiring then. Officer said I could go to local USCIS office and get new I-94 when I get passport renewed.
4. Went to local office with new passport, and officer says they cannot issue new I-94, and that I-94 at bottom of H1 is the valid one, no issues.
Finally coming to the main issue -> Recently got a new job and company wants to transfer H1, but says cannot apply for H1 transfer until I get a corrected I-94 from the airport I entered from.
Anyone with similar experiences, or knowledge of how to get a corrected I-94 ?
Also, any implications of my situation on the I-485 process ?
Thanks a lot for any input!

The easiest option is to travel outside the country and come back and get a new I-94. You might want tot go back to the local office where you went earlier, they might not issue a new I-94, but will be able to correct the date on the issued I-94, after you explain them the situation. A similar thibg happened to my wife on H4 few years ago. We went to the local office (Boston) and got it fixed.

"Representative Elton Gallegly (R-CA) introduced H.R. 133, Citizenship Reform Act of 2007, which would limit citizenship by birth to children born to at least one permanent resident or citizen parent."
Does this mean that if we do not have green cards our childern born here are not citizens. Am I understanding it right..

I took an infopass appointment on 12/13 and met with an IO. All the IO did was to e-mail the service center for FP. I now see two soft LUDs on 12/15 and 12/18 on my I-485. I don't know if these are related to the generation of FP notice or something else.
infopass is not useful for fp. I too tried that way, but didnt help.
if you use the poj, and you are lucky to get hold of IO at the office where your 485 is pending, then they have the authority to create new fp notice and they can also check whether your name check is cleared or not. they will also give you the dates as to when the name check was initiated (this is usually 1 week after your notice date).

Are the processing times according to the notice date or the received date ? Mine are 4 months apart.
USCIS needs to work with paper files for review/approval. RD as on your receipt is the mailroom receive date. Real receive date of a processing center is when they actually opened your file and entered in the system, which is what you see online as, "...your case was received on...". Processing centers prefer to treat this date as RD as this suites them better. In your case your true RD should be a couple of days prior to your ND. Who is responsible for the 4 months period in between when several thousand applications may have been received and entered in the system (and placed ahead of you)? Nobody.
babawa10: Your case has shuffled around between centers. It was received last by TSC in Aug 08. Therefore, don't get surprized if your Real RD is now Aug 08. USCIS makes a simple claim, they process cases in order they receive them. Perhaps they are talking about the paper files, which are placed in sequence on shelves as they arrive. Check online what it now says for "...your case was received on...".

Wake up guys, i am not being negative, i am just being positive,
the points that you mentioned applies to US economy, I Myself is playing very important role in Multi-million $$ product,
do you think US politicians care about us, they just showed straight finger, if you don't get then it'z not my problem
The only way we can get any thing out of these politicans by playing politics, show them the meat, we need to figure that out
One thing always worked is MEDIA, we need to get more attention on national media
again I am just being practicle
I don't agree with 'eb3india'. Don't be on negative attitudes. Negative thinking will not gain anything. Think positive !
India Government will listen to us because;
1) If you stay here in USA, you will send money to your parents and relatives.
They will spend money and improve indian economy.
2) If you stay here and become rich, you may start a busness in india and employ indians and indian economy will grow.
3) You may invest in houses and properties in india.
So, If you continue to work in US and make money, Indian economy will grow
indirectly. Did you get my point ? Mr Vayalar Ravi knows this very well. He knows the earning potential on NRIs in US.

I got an update via CRIS
UPDATE: On August 5, 2008, we transferred this case to our NORFOLK, VA location for additional processing.
My current status: My case was filed as EB2 and the PD is Mar2006, so I am current for another 6 days (Oct 2006 is retrogressing to 2003).
I have talked to several of my friends and they said this update means an interview is in the works.
Do you guys agree?
If so, I had questions based on that. Me and my wife were planning to travel to India this December.
1) Will I still be getting an interview since my case is not going to be current starting OCT 2008?
2) In case we should expect an interview, should we wait till we finish the interview?
Any input would be appreciated.

I would support this bill since it makes a lot of sense. I am not going to benefit from this since I have masters and not PhD but people who have sacrificed the lure of big money to live on campus with 2-3 roomies for almost 5 years in which time their friends who graduated are driving lexus and staying in 5 Br homes need some consolation prize. This is a great move for these students as well as the country.

I am not sure about AP weather it gets canceled or what but I think you did a wise thing cos even if your 485 gets rejected you loose ur EAD and AP but based on your approved I-140 you can keep on getting H1 extension for 3 years. So H1 is much safer than EAD.
regarding AP thing consult with your attorney

Please don't travel thru countries that impose this ridiculous transit Visa requirement on individuals, especially from India. Ask them to justify the charges, and you would get no response from them.
So, even if takes to spend $200 - 300 more, AVOID these crook countries that charge Transit Visa. People we must send the message across. In this century, I think its Indians that are traveling the most on these trans-atlantic-asia route, and collectively avoiding these 'snob' countries would send a very good signal.
If you are buying the transit visa, your dignity is at stake. Its like saying buying insurance for a person who is poor. They dont charge for countries that are more developed. so, AVOID AVOID these countries.
I am traveling to India soon, and I am going thru Brussels not because I got a cheap ticket, but because there is no transit visa required there.
I had to apply for UK transit visa last time I went to India (air india). This time I am taking non-stop Chicago to Delhi. I agree about avoiding countries that require transit visa.

Please lets keep IV's forums for constructive conversations about our agenda -- breaking news on legislation, upcoming actions, broadening support for our activities.
It really shouldn't be Immigration Portal Version 2 where everything and anything goes.
