did you get a letter from USCIS to your new address that they have received your address change request?
i changed my address back in last week of September and got the letter in mid october. i got two separte letter one addressed to me and one addressed to my wife. this letter will ensure that they have your new correct address on the file. you should get one letter for you and for each dependent. also, you should change addresses for each individuals (for you and dependent).
also keep in touch with your lawyer, they shall recieve one notice for FP alongwith you.
Did you apply online or thru regular mail? Also, if you sent regular mail, was it certified mail or just regular first-class mail?

Most west coast technology firms are very aware of the AC21 regulations. I recently talked to the HR of a reputed west coast firm and they told me the procedure for porting. They also let me talk to their law firm which deals with their immigration process. So the answer really depends on the company that you are about to join. It is not a bad idea to get everything clear before making the move.

Where did everyone get the 10 days estimate from??
As far as I read, the production date for the new system is 10/29.. So, maybe suprises in December bulletin.
I don't think there will be any surprises for the next 9 months as India and China have very limited quota per year. Besides the overflow that happens during the last quarter, I guess it is going to be a snail crawl for EB2.
EB3 India - well, can hibernate for the next 3-4 years.

The AP (which is a travel document) just allows you to enter the country (or like I mentioned before) to apply for permission to enter the US.
The I-94 determines your status and the date on the I-94 (and in the passport) is the date till which you are allowed to be in the US as a parolee. This is usually one year from the date you enter the US as a parolee. The assumption is that you get your GC before that one year is up - and it has worked histrorically - but we now know better, thanks to the July 2007 fiasco.
Think of this analogy - AP is like the H1B visa, based on which you fill out the I-94. The I-94 determines the validity of your status.
At some point you might have to get a new I-94 issued (not sure how; maybe local USCIS office can issue you one) if it happens that you don't travel internationally before that one year is up.
Once you have no valid H1 or L1, you technically are a foreigner without a visa. CBP, by law, can't admit anybody in without a visa, and hence the work-around of AP (which is an authorization to CBP to let you, a foreigner, in, in inspite of you not having a valid visa). One yr stamp by CBP is a workaround for another law for people who are admitted without a visa. Idea behind this is to determine what to do with you (person in the US without a visa) within that one year. AOS/EAD are other workarounds for managing govt inefficiency for those already in the country (but not for entry to the country). Complex maze of work-arounds !!

I will be promoted shortly as a Manager. My GC was applied as Programmer Analyst for the same company. When contacted the company attorney informed that it is not a problem, since 6 Months has been completed.

Can someone confirm if finger printing required for both paper (by mail) and on-line AP application? Somewhere I read that finger printing is required only for on-line applicants. Is that true?
It will save me lot of trouble as my nearest INS office for finger printing is about 150 miles away.
Thanks in advance.

In thi case you can only get GC if you remain alive while serving the US Army. Remember they want to put you in front of the enemy first before they pu their citizens.
If you die you will get citizen directly, not a bad deal is it? :D

If I cant find any (recommended lawyer) within Houston, I will go to him. But does he practice employment law? His website says " The practice is focused exclusively on immigration and naturalization law". I am looking for a lawyer to discus my non-compete clause.
Appreciate your response. Thank you so much.
He is based in Dallas,TX. he provided excellant service to me in my tough journey.

Call USCIS and tell them you have not received your green cards yet..
Do not give any incorrect directions.
TexasGuy: As long as you remember your alien number that would do - Since you filed for replacement card, you have nothing to worry. Just make sure, your are not the victim of identity theft.

Rob,
I was a big fan of PhotoSig when I discovered it about a year ago.. I loved to look through others photos and also share some to have critiqued.. Here's my old user page over there:
My photosig page (http://www.photosig.com/go/users/userphotos?id=38138)
I haven't updated this in about a year. I'd love to see something like that over here.. I just haven't found the galleries as easy to look through as I did over there.. I actually quit going there when they changed the system and the overkill of nudes that were just distasteful.
-- Matt
If every member critiques 5 photos a week, in no time, all photos will have comments.
I don't know about you, but I love comments, good or bad about my photos...
many help me to focus efforts and make better images...
Thoughts??

I am in the same boat as you, PM ed you, please reply
Hi,
First some background.
EB2I PD is July 2006
I140 filed Sept. 2006 and approved Oct 2006 with Company A.
Left Company A and joined Company B in March 2007 (172 days after I140 approved).
Filed I485 in July 2007 (Medical RFE received and answered in 2009 - implies possible pre-adjudication??)
While with Company B started new EB2I process for a similar job profile (lawyer thinks it is close enough for portability) with PD Oct. 2008. I140 approved June 2009.
With current rapid movement in EB2 cut-off dates, if I become current in Sept 2010 what is best course of action to ensure I receive and keep the GC that is based on application sponsored by Company A?
1. If I get GC, just keep working for Company B (lawyer thinks this is just fine to do).
2. If I do get current in Sept 2010, try to capture PD of first application and use for application sponsored by Company B?
3. Get the GC and move back to company A?
4. Any other options??
Thanks for your time.

Sorry, but the agenda is already set for legislative and administrative goals of IV. Greencards for spouses of greencard holders is a painful problem and we understand that but this site and this org is specifically created and funded for relief to employment based immigration.
