YOU: If thats a valid visa until 2009 you can travel without AP. Else, you can travel but will need H1 stamped.
YOUR WIFE: If she needs H4 stamped, she can get that done and re-enter.
If your travels are not urgent you could wait for AP and save couple hundred bucks!
But dont you need to wait for AP approval to travel if you are in AdjustmentOfStatus Phase?
Thanks

Pappu -- Is there anything i need to do besides sending the e-mail. I've sent the e-mail twice and its been a week since the contribution has made. I am by no means waiting desperately waiting to get access to donor forums but i am curious. Please let me know what i am missing. If the team is busy, may be IV should think about looking for more volunteers.
I also have access issue, but just since yesterday. Again like Rahul, I'm by no means desperate to have access to the forums, but would be nice. Please let us know if there is an issue that we can help out with in this regards!

Friends,
In your opinion, if we were to choose among the many amendments people are proposing to improve the pending immigration billsm what will you choose?
My choice is
1. Either remove country quota
or
2. Re-instate soft quota.
Other choices could include
1. Filing of 485 with pri dates
2. H1b extension by 3 yrs with pending labor
3. Including MBA under stem
One request - please think of the broader implications of your choice and not your case. E.g, my wife has 140 pending approval and 485 will help me immensely but I would rather have the GC than EAD, so that is why I chose country quota removal. It unfairly victimizes an individual for his/he country of birth.

I am sure there are many guys in this forum as frustrated as I am and we all have been wondering what our other options are. I also know that lot of people have started to think very seriously about immigration to other countries.
Based on our current circumstances, I have been wondering if it will be worth making a collective effort. In other words, how about if wrote an open and collective letter to leaders of the other immigrant friendly countries about our interest in immigration to their country for the mutual economic and professional benefits. I know this sounds a little silly but if USA is not ready to recognize and appreciate the benefits of legal immigrant community then I am sure there will be several other countries willing to benefit from this situation and gain competitive excellence. After all, we are all professionals and we all have lot to offer to the economy of today's competitive world. I believe we deserve a little better than we got right now.
Any thoughts?

I want to make sure we acknowledge every contribution our members make, monetary and in terms of ideas.
As I said in the main thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=9780&postcount=33) it was posts on the forum by virtual55, jkays94 and cpolisetti that set the WaPo ball rolling.
Thank you to them and every member who does his or her part in big and small ways.

I have similar question about EB2 and experience with current employer
I came from China, so EB3 are really bad comparing with EB2
As I know I could not use experience at my current employer (Company A) to fill EB2, can I find a consulting company (Company B) who willing to sponsor my EB2, while still work for Company A (through Company B)?
Will that be some problem, or is it legal?

Hi Raysakat
Thanks for the quick and helpful reply. Just to clarify a bit more, can i still file for I-140 with her being primary(as cross chargibility is applied)
You need to be the primary applicant in the I-140 (I am assuming that you are the one whose employer is filing I-140). Then you can use either spouse's country of birth for chargeability (which in your case would be UAE) for I-485 (I-485's are individual: for her I-485, she will use her country of birth; for your I-485, you will use your spouse's country of birth).
while she is on F1 or wold it lead to conflict in visa status?
As I said, once I-485 is filed for her, I believe that her F1 status would cease to exist and her status will become AOS. But you need to get confirmation from a lawyer on that.
SHe does not exits on my PERM application, but she is currently with me on H4, suggesting her intent to immigrate with my PERM application
Thanks
Not sure what you mean. If the PERM application asked you to list your dependents, and if you were married that time, you must have put her name as a dependent.
As for immigration intent: H visa is dual intent. I think she would be fine until I-485 is submitted on her behalf. If she enters the country on F1 visa (therefore expressing non-immigration intent), then it may be wise to wait for 60-90 days after the date of admission before submitting I-485 (and hence expressing immigration intent). I do not know what are the rules/precedence if she changes status in the country and does not travel.

I see IV has done an excellent job in promoting the event as I see it listed in several newspapers (and listed on lawfirm websites such as murthy, siskund, etc. I think it will be a huge turnout and you want to be a part of this exciting rally. If you're thinking "well there's enough people already" then you need to think "i'm doing my part, that's what matters, no matter how many show/don't show up". Stand up for what is right. Stand up cause enough is enough. Stand up because each and every one counts. Come on to D.C. You'll make a lot of new friends and can have fun in person talking to people who understand....you can talk about your receipts in person too :p Will be great...don't miss out.

Experts,
My friend got a letter from USCIS saying his H1 B transfer got Denied due to Client Contract / Letter.
1. Is he out of status?
2. He can appeal with proper evidence to show that we have contract..with clients..
3. What si the procedure.. pelase advice
Thanks in advance.
If your previous H1B expired, he is out of status. File the appeal asap. Once the appeal is accepted, he is in status till the final decision is made.
This is my opinion only. Please check with attorney.

you need pdf writer, use demo.
I don't think it's anything to do with pdf writer. If he is asking about forms like I-485, G-325 A etc..those have pdf security enable and wont allow you to save it. Whereas if you try I-693 form (for medical), that will allow you to save the form even if you do not have pdf writer.

I travelled thru Frankfurt last december. No need of Transit visa, no hassels; though Air-hostess that hands out I-94 card did not know what AP meant. I boarded at Bangalore airport and Lufthansa staff at check-in were aware of AP. At immigration in chicago, the guy gave me a short lecture- AP should be used only for emergency purpose etc; I jsut nodded and he stamped the I-94 and AP doc

Hi,
My educational background is Bachelor of Engginerring in Computer science.
I came to United states in December 2006. when i came i was having six years of experience.
My employer applied for my Labor in 2nd week of August 2008. After 2 weeks my attorney asked for a self affidavit having details about my work experience from 2001 till 2006 and also he gave me a format.
I prepared one affidavit for one employer ( totaly five affidavit for five employers between 2001 to 2006 ). I was team member in First and second Employer, i was a Team Lead in third employer, I was a Project Leader in Fourth and Fifth employer.
When i prepared the self affidavit i made a mistake, I gave the correct dates, correct designation ( Which is in my offer and reliving letter ) but i kept same responsiblities for all employers.
I didnot get any issues in my Labor. My Labor got approved in March 2009. Now my employer filed I - 140 in the end of september. Two days back he said that there is a RFE regarding my I - 140 case. THe RFE contains the Below Details.
"SINCE THE EVIDENCE INDICATES THAT THE BENEFICIARY DOES NOT HOLD AN ADVANCED DEGREE, IT MUST ESTABLISH THAT HIS POST-BACCALAUREATE EXPERIENCE WAS PROGRESSIVE. HOWEVER, HIS SWORN AFFIDAVITS INDICATES THAT WHILE HIS JOB TITLES CHANGED, HIS DUTIES IN 2006 WERE STILL THE SAME AS THEY WERE IN 2001 FOR EMPLOYER 2. PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW HIS EXPERIENCE WAS PROGRESSIVE"
I explained the suitation to my employer but he is saying there is only 50:50 chance for I-140 to get approved.
What will happen now ?
What type of document i should provide to USCIS for this query?
Will my I - 140 get approved ?
Thanks & Regards,
Raj..

THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH FOR PRECISE REPLY BUEHLER but am I not within my legal right to work for any hospital branch because they are all with one name.
My final question would be YES I was told that I will have a new ID and new payroll number and a separate paycheck but what can be done to rectify this situation. Like do they have to amend the H1B petition(mine is a non-cap hospital--- a charity hospital).
My H1B stipulates that I am a full-timer with 40 hrs per week but starting from next week it is going to be 32 sometimes and 40 hrs some weeks as we are not seeing many patients into our hospital due to the economy,jobs etc.
What is the solution. Do I have to move to a different job or can there be a solution to work for the same company (in different branches)

Hi All,
I have a question regarding the status check of the 485 process. Does USCIS change the Updated date (maybe a soft LUD) before approval/completion of processing of 485 on the Case Status.
I know its a yes/no/maybe not always kinda answer but I wanted to check with those who already had approved 485s if they had noticed updates before the Approval. If yes, what is the usual timeframe after the update when the approval has been noticed.
I am sure, like me :) you must have kept checking the Case Status page like crazy once the dates were current so, please respond and I am sure many will benefit from your responses.
I am sure, many of you who are still waiting like me,already have friends who went thru this process, so, even your inputs are welcome.
Thanks,
Amar.
In my case, it did not. The I-485 application status changed directly to "Approval notice sent". Then next day I got "Card production ordered" and after that "Welcome notice sent".
