On the infopass web site, there are four categories, and I can't relate to any of them. I don't have an SR because the rep refused to open one; I don't have a notice. Is it still possible to go for infopass?
We offer 4 kinds of appointments for a case that you have already filed. Please choose from the following -
Order from Immigration Court - If you were directed to us for processing based on an order from the Immigration Judge. You must bring all documents required in the post order instructions given to you by the court.
Case Processing Appointment - If you received a notice to go to your local office for further case processing.
EAD inquiry appointment - If your I-765 employment authorization application has been pending for more than 90 days.
Case Services follow-up appointment - If it has been over 45 days since you contacted NCSC and have not received a response to your inquiry. You must bring the Service Request ID Number related to your inquiry to the appointment.
You made a different selection at the first step.
Under
Please select Kind of Service you need
You need Service on a case that has already been filed
You are a new Permanent Resident and have not yet received your Permanent Resident Card
You want to file an application in person
You need information or other services
You need a form.
You are a United States Military Member, Military Retiree or a Military Dependant
I guess you chose option 1. Here if you choose "You need information or other services" you can schedule one. Try your luck with infopass - it depends on the IO you talk to. Tell them that the customer service rep told you to go to infopass to get the PP stamped.

120 days (maximum) from the date of expiry of your EAD. The same applies for AP, if I am not wrong.

Some more data points to that calculation:
There are 44 I-485 adjudicators at NSC (an NSC IIO mentioned that to me a few months ago) at the conservative rate of 6 apps/visa numbers (EB only) per adjudicator per day it will be 264 visa numbers per day just at NSC.
Double that and you reach 528 per day at NSC + TSC only.
Not including district office and consular numbers.
Say 600 EB approvals per day * 21 working days of August would make it 12600 EB approvals in August.
If ones multiplies that number for 12 months we reach 151,200 EB visas...which is so close to the number that was approved last year ! (Includes numbers from FB overflow)
1% to 5% of I485 applicants register in . This figure 1% to 5% is quoted at several places and in absence of any other data, I am using this data. If we take median value of 3% worldwide EB2 approvals are around 50 and so TSC+NSC approved 1600 cases in four working days of August (400 per day).
Median value is OK for reference, couple of places, it is quoted that 20,000 GC numbers are available for EB2. For 40 working days in Aug/Sep, it averages to 500 GC per day.

Who asked for a combined AP and EAD?
What help will it offer really?
It would have been better to ask for a 5 year EAD. But some person would have posted asking for a combined document?
What will we really do with a 2 in 1 document????

You could either file AC21 or file after you revceive RFE, but when there is RFE they may also request paystubs, not just offer letter.

Getting the driver's license is not the problem, I know it will come. Problem here is why I cannot drive outside SC for up to 60 days waiting for the DL card? Remember I've to surrender my old SC license. This is serious limitation to my work, e.g. I need to go to Atlanta on 08/19 and I cannot drive there.
In September I will go to Italy, what if I don�t get my DL till then?
And you say �Not sure why you thought of it as being punished�
This is ridiculous
On Checking the SC dmv site and it is interesting to note that non-citizens are not allowed to renew their license online. I guess this is the result of illegal immigration reform thing which is now a part of so many states along with SC. And I think they are running background checks against the legal status of any non-citizen folks. My take would be that you should consider meeting the senator and explaining the issue. They can basically expedite the process so that you wont have to wait for a long time.

I truly believe India IS a developed country.
Sorry , wont agree with you.
It does have the potential to be , and it would be if the corruption in the government ceases to exist. The amount of money Indian politicians, have in swiss banks, and other offshore banks , is amazing.

In talking to multiple travel agents, I don't think there is such a thing called "open ticket". I guess there is always a return date and most air lines will allow you to reschedule, some for free and some for a charge based on your ticket class.
The 6 months return validity suggestion above is valid, assuming they are on a visit visa (not have a GC themselves :). when my parents came they only have the ticket for 4 months and the officer at POE gave them 6 months on the departure card.

Summer travel season is around the corner, and unfortunately, because of the swine flu scare, each and every person entering India from USA (and some other countries) will have to go through a medical screening (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/American--European-visitors-to-be-screened-for-swine-flu/articleshow/4457075.cms) at the airports beginning yesterday. Some chaos is expected, particularly in busy terminals such as Delhi and Mumbai, given that "Airport authorities said they are still in the dark and are yet to gear up for these checks". So, it may be a good idea if those of you, who have just returned from India, share your experiences with this procedure; for example, the likelihood of facing stricter screening (or even a brief quarantine) if someone sneezes/coughs for any reason, or the "fitness certificate" forms that airlines are supposed to hand over to each passenger, etc.

Thanks for your suggestions, I am sure IV-Core will note them.
Did you send out letters to the WH + IV?
The recapturing of numbers does not need legislation, it can be done by administrative intervention.
PLEASE SEND YOUR LETTERS!
Thanks!

I was working with Employer-A till 30/Nov/08 and then filed H1 transfer with employer-B. I started working with Employer B on Dec/08/08 as we received the receipt.
My H1B visa transfer with Employer-B was denied on Mar/02/2009 as the contract between Employer-B and Client was not signed by Client.
My current H1B transfer is denied and previous H1B and I-94 is expired.
Current H1B transfer:
Start date: Nov-21-08,
RFE received: Dec-30-08,
RFE responded: Feb-06-09
RFE expiry date: Feb-10-09
Received Denial: Mar-02-09.
Previous H1B with Employer-A expired: Jan-31-09.
I-94 expired: Feb-10-2009.
What are my options? I believe that I am out of status since Mar/02/09 (Denial date). Is there any way that I can stay on H1 status in US? I think H1 transfer is not possible as my current H1 is denied and previous H1 is expired. Can anyone confirm?
If any new employer sponsors H1 for me with premium processing (I think I dont need to go through 2009 lottery system as I have already got H1 in 2006 cap), Is it legal for an employer to sponsor new H1B when beneficiary is out of status in US? Should I leave US and then my new employer can file fresh H1 using same 2006 cap so I dont need to go trhough 2009 lottery. Which is the good option? Should I stay in US or India while filing new H1? Within how much time should I leave the country? Is it ok to overstay for 15-20 days after denial?
Please guide me asap. Thanking you in advance!
If you are able to get the contract signe by your end client, you can appeal. Untill the final decision comes you would be in status. Otherwise you are already out of status. So might leave sooner. Also talk to attorney and update here. It might be useful for people who are in the same situation.

Thanks a lot. I understand the process better now.
Horscrop,
Yes, it is possible that USCIS would reject the extension because the PERM was not filed 365 days before the end of six years. However, a rejection on this basis is clearly contrary to both the language and intent of AC21, and I believe, could be successfully challenged on appeal.

Hi All,
I got promoted to Manager but my GC is applied for a Consultant 2 position (Developer Job Description). My Lawyers do not think it is an issue since it has been more than 6 months of my 485 application.
Is this really true?
Thanks,

If you are lazy (like I am right now), you could just create an owl smiley and have the tag name by "O' RLY"! That way you won't have to fret about getting the owl's expression just right in the tiny < 20 pixel per side area!
