That�s what exactly I am trying to find here. Since I am not USC or GC, would they take my complain seriously and I want to remain anonymous. Is it possible?

Happiness is Important in Life.We should live there , where we feel happy.Again what makes a person happy depends on that individual.We should be able to differentiate between Real Happiness and Pseudo Happiness.

another distraction for the officers? already they are eagerly waiting for the visa bulletin (just like all of us) to decide on future course of work... :D
Now they might all just forget work, come out and dance to the marathi number... :eek:

I agree. I have been doing this for a while (sending emails to CNN and Fox News) but with no impact... but with many hands on board I think we would get a better chance.

Friends, can someone help answer a few questions for considering filed I-485 and adding spouse at the later. I am planning to get married in the January or february time frame in India. I have read at several places that one can add spouse anytime BEFORE 485 APPROVAL. I work on H1B, I am from India and my priority date is Oct 06 with approved EAD and I 485 pending. I have some specific questions in case my priority date becomes current. My question is -
1. Can I travel and enter on my H1 even if my AP is approved/pending?
2. Is it safer to travel on AP even if I have a valid/invalid H1 stamped on my passport?
3. Can my wife enter on H4 and then we add her name to 485 when she is in US?
Thanks for any/all additional help you can provide with my scenario. I can be flexible if someone has any suggestions that can help my case.
Of course I will be taking my lawyer's advice and use your suggestions to enchance my knowledge and present some scenarios to the lawyer.
Thanks for all your help!!
1. Can I travel and enter on my H1 even if my AP is approved/pending?
Yes, you can travel and enter into USA on your H1 visa even if your AP is approved or pending as long as your visa has a valid stamping.
2. Is it safer to travel on AP even if I have a valid/invalid H1 stamped on my passport?
If you have an invalid H1 stamping on your passport, then AP is the only way to enter into USA. On the other hand, If you have a valid stamping and also have an approved AP, you can use either H1 or AP to enter into USA.
3. Can my wife enter on H4 and then we add her name to 485 when she is in US?
If you have a valid H1 Visa, your wife can enter on H4. Regarding adding your wife's name to your 485 case, I am not sure, but I believe you have to wait until your PD becomes current.
Consulting an attorney is the best option, I believe. Good luck!
Regards,
IK

1. Can we use AC21 provision without EAD card ?
2. My H1 expires in Jan 2008. Do I need to have EAD card before that ?
3. Can we apply for EAD later, after you have filed 485 and AP? If so do we need any reciept of 485 application?

Since the AP application is over 90 days pending, you may be eligible to discusss with the customer service. If you do not get good answer, you may be able to schedule an infopass.
We found out at the Infopass that my wife's AP application had been approved 2 months ago. But online system still shows as pending but just got a soft LUD on the date it was approved. So you never know what you may find out.
But not sure if they would give out information to the applicant's spouse

Now that all the aspiring *highly skilled* and *educated* immigrants are done bashing each other on whatever ethnic\religious\cultural issue is in vogue these days, here is what the new rule says:
USCIS will no longer automatically approve an I-485 if the background check has been pending for more than 180 days. Instead, if the check has been pending for 150 days, adjudicator will contact a designated person at the HQ who will then contact FBI to determine the reason for delay. The designated contact will then provide guidance to the adjudicator on whether the specific case should be approved or not.
Some may argue that we should give them the benefit of doubt. But after dealing with the incompetence of these folks for the last 10 years, I am a bit leery. Right on the surface, it seems that there are two choke points in the process: the designated contact at USCIS and the FBI. After a while, the designated office may start publishing dates saying that they are currently handling cases forwarded to them before MM/DD/YYYY or that the cases has been forwarded to FBI who is currently working on cases forwarded to them in MM1/DD1/YYYY1.
We may not be back to square one, but we may be half way there.
Best of luck to all

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".

I'm from Bangladesh and EB3. As you know the I485 was current in July and i applied along with my EAD and AP. but this month in visa bulletin i found that the date went back to 2002. What is the way it suppose to be?
My question is: are they going to consider my application current or i stuck in the backlog. my understanding is that the visa bulletin reflects the availibility to send the application....they received my application on July 2nd, 2007.
someone please clarify the matter please.......thanks ahead

I was asked the following questions:
1. Which client I am currently working at and what is my role there.
2. What is my education background.
3. Paystubs and W2's
4. How long have worked for my employer
Just get your papers in order and be confident. Being confident really helps.
