As far as i think H4 will be a great option to avoid complications and immigration troubles at the POE. If you are maintaing H1. then H4 is the way to go. As per Oh-Law a person whould have the AP before leaving the US. Even if they don't find that upon entry the 485 may be denied if she leaves before getting the AP approved. See the article in immigration-law.com that was posted a couple of days back.
Hope this helps.

IO ( Nice Lady): Its pending, thats what I can tell you right now,
I: My RD and PD both are current, is there any thing else you can tell me.
IO: All the cases for 2001 & 2002 are pending for adjudication, and your is one among them. Officers will be making decision on these cases with in 30-90 days. Your case is not yet assigned to any officer. If you want, I can send an email to Officer to look into your file.
I: Is there anything else you can tell me
IO: Thats all I can help you with today.
Thankyou & have a nice day.
SENIORS/EXPERTS: Can you throw some light on this situation:
That means your case is still waiting to be assigned. Just like mine for the past two months. I also called NSC this afternoon and got the same response.
NC pending, Waiting to be assigned, Call after 60 days. I don't know what to say.

I have a expired H1 visa and will be travelling to India (plan to use AP for reentry) and will be stopping in Dubai for sightseeing for 3 days.
I understand I need a transit visa and would like to apply for one in US. I am flying Emirates and believe Emirates can sponsor for the visa. They told me to use CIBT (http://www.cibt.com) for applying for a visa. On the cibt site, it asks for a unexpired visa or a Green Card.
I wonder how others with expired H1s have got transit visa to Dubai.
Any help is really really appreciated. :confused:
Recently, we did a stop over while going to India. For Indian's its required to get transit visa before you arrive in Dubai. You can contact the customer support of emirate airlines, whey will help you the documentation required to get transit visa. They usally charge around 52 $ for getting the transit visa.

There should be one point which says
If good happens I am planning to go back after 5years.
This will give us a count of how many will return to India. I am pretty sure this count will be good number and will increase down the line. Irrespective of this law passes or not.

Hi All.
Have a related question.
Say I work for company A and my 6 year H-1B is set to expire soon and I also have a pending I-140 appn with company B.
Can I apply for a 3 year H-1B extension to continue working in company A based on that pending I-140 ?
Thank You.

I think my question is that :
Can one change the job immediately after receiving the GC? Somebody mentioned that
My question is, how USCIS would know if you change job after getting the GC?
Your employer can inform USCIS that you quit as soon as you got your GC. USCIS will then revoke the GC.
It is better for you to use AC21 and join a new job than quit the day after your GC has been approved. Although many people suggest to wait 6 months, I feel if you quit anytime before 2 yrs, the onus will be on you to prove that you did not intend to abandon your employer - if your employer goes to USCIS and complains. If the company is doing well and they have not treated you badly (for e.g. given you raise, promotion, etc.) - then it will be extremely difficult for you to prove that you are not to blame. After 2 yrs, however, it is up to USCIS/ employer to prove that you intended to abandon employment as soon as you got your GC (if any questions arise or employer complains to USCIS). This is just my opinion - but talk to a good lawyer if you intend to quit as soon as you got your GC.
As far as you breaking the contract is concerned, if the contract says that you cannot quit for one yr after GC - and if you quit, then you have to pay GC costs - then they can come after you legally if you quit and do not pay the GC processing amount. However, if the contract says you must work for one yr after GC and there is no break clause, they cannot come after you legally (except ofcourse to complain to USCIS - in which case USCIS can revoke the GC).

I believe that is not correct. To get back into US when you are on H1B/H4/L1/L2, you need to have a valid unexpired stamp on your passport.
Say, your stamp expires on July 31st 2008 but you have a approved I-797
which is valid up to Dec 31st 2009, then you may get an I-94 that is valid upto
Dec 31st 2009.
Not surrendering I-94 before leaving US is not a great idea!
This is correct information
Individuals who are already in the U.S. and remain in legal status are encouraged to apply at non-border U.S. embassies and consulates in conjunction with foreign travel for business or pleasure. Those who plan to visit Canada, Mexico or, in the cases of students and exchange visitors, adjacent islands, may re-enter the U.S. within thirty days on expired visas as long as they possess a valid I-94 form unless they are excluded from automatic revalidation, as noted below.

Sundeep:
You are already benefited by AOS 485. How can you shift now. I know, there is a Form 8xxx. something, which would cancel 485, and provide CP. But knowing the level of efficiency and proximity, it is NO BRAINER to adapt that route.
Also, if Ron's Pessimism should hold good, NO ONE in the immgn. community is good to go. Dont worry tooo much, Look at the pace, you got July 07, Fiasco results. I donot think, the error cases are even 1% of total filing. Though, they initially messed around, people were benefited with that.
Again see the flow of EAD Renewals... Good and encouraging. Dont swing around, and stay tuned.. You are fine to go.. Trust me.. Have confidence in the system, it will deliver. :) Your good friend's advice.
What's your PD/RD/ND/ Category ??
I'have appplied for 485 thru AOS...i am currnetly workin on EAD.....i was wonderin if i can switch to CP at this stage..
windsor..u surely will get ur GC....based on what i read on ron's website....ron is sayin that for people who are waiitin for USCIS to approve their cases here ...its really not goin to happen...

But now that your 485 has been re-opened, doesn't that mean that your unlawful presence counter is back to 0? Or do those 3 months stay on your record, and ADD to any unlawful presence that you might accrue in the future were your 485 to be denied again? I certainly hope not.
My I-485 is still not open. It is still in denial status.......The counter has to go back to 0 as soon the case status changes to open and pending.......

Thank you. I will use this information when i discuss with my attorney.
Regards
You are welcome.
In my case the judge actually granted MTD, so you should be prepared for that scenario. If that happens, you can file an appeal with the court of appeals. An attorney will probably ask too much for the appeal process so do it yourself. That's what I went thru. Eventually you'll win.

The brief info below is our basic background:
Perm EB2，
LC Perm PD：10/2005，approved in 11/2005 at Chicago；
140 RD：01/17/2006， approved on 01/23/2006 at TSC；
485 was delivered to NSC on June 27, 2007, no receipt yet.
In order to track if there is a LUD on my I-140 to check when the receipt could be mailed out to me, I checked my I-140 status this morning. From the info above, I expected to see if there is LUD or not. To be super surprised, I found the following info:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Receipt Number: SRC06081XXXXX
Application Type: I140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER
Current Status: Response to request for evidence received, and case processing has resumed
On March 13, 2006, we received your response to our request for evidence. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. You
should expect to receive a written decision or written update within 60 days of the date we received your response unless fingerprint processing or an interview are standard parts of case processing and have not yet been
completed, in which case you can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done
-----------------------------------------------------------------
What is this message supposed to mean? My I-140 has been approved on 01/17/06. I am still holding the photocopy of the approval letter. Why is it saying my I-140 still processing?
To prove my I-140 is indeed approved, the message below is the copy I keep when my I-140 was approved on 01/17/06
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Receipt Number: SRC06081XXXXX
Application Type: I140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER
Current Status:
This case has been approved. On January 23, 2006, an approval notice was mailed. If 14 days have passed and you have not received this notice, you may wish to verify or update your address. To update your address, please call the National Customer Service Center at (800) 375-5283.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The same receipt number gives me totally different message. And I am still holding the hardcopy of my I-140 approval letter. Is there anyone know what is the problem? Is this problem going to hurt my I-485 filing?
In terms of the worst scenario, do I need to reapply I-140? If this is the case, shall I concurrent file I-140 and I-485 before Aug 17th? I am a June filer. I still don't get why I am put into such a big trouble!
Thanks a billion for answering my weird question!

We are screwed indeed.
In Murthy's website they mentioned that EB3-India may retrogress further. I think it is cluster-mess and no one knows how the dates would move. Hopefully clouds would clear by the end of the year. By the time BEC should be done with all the labor certifications. So, the State department can predict more precisely how the dates would move in future.
We are so screwed !!!
For India, EB2 is reduced to more than 700% compared to 2003; EB3 is reduced to more than 800% compared to 2004. The retrogression situation would deteriorate with each year.

I understand that your are frustrated and panicing....but I would recommend 2 things...
1> Stop calling your lawyer every now and then. You said you have already talke to the lawyer and the lawyer says that he/she is going to re-file...so trust them....give them a few days....
2> Talk to your employer and tell him to be in touch with the lawyer about ur case...why should you be the one doing the running.....What the heck is ur employer doing.....You tell him that you are not going to take shit and run behind the attorney...if he needs the 20-30% from you then he better get his act together....
Do you think companies are trustworthy. I think its better to talk to lawyer directly as you can sue lawyers if they tell lies

I have called my lawmakers office for appointment to discuss this matter. This is my first attempt, I am a little shaky, but i believe that the time to act is now and will always be now - that is the only way to get solutions. A lot of talk is happening in washington, we should capitalize on it!

Good suggestion and thought. You never know who is monitoring these public forum.

senthil, no offense, but I feel we should be careful about what we post here in these public forums...there are just too many folks from the other side of the fence in this forum monitoring every post. Just my personal opinion, but I feel if I had to post something negative, it would probably do greater good if I just held it back instead.
