Looks like it is mistake. Is it your second FP appt? It is possible that they already have FP with them and I 140 and I 485 both approved on the same date - within an hour difference.

Hey Alabaman,
First of all thanks for your reply.
No I haven't filed a tax return before, because there was no need. I started studying in August 2008 and remained most of 2009 in the US.
2 points:
1. So therefore I guess I'm a nonresident for 2009 (because I wasn't a lot in the US in 2008).
But I'm a resident for 2010 (because I was in the US almost all of 2009). With 2010 I mean the tax filling I'll have to do next year.
Am I correct with this reasoning? Does the substantial presence test only count for the next year?
2. Is it correct, that they took 25% of my sign up bonus away? I was an F-1 all of 2009.

I' am new here and find it hard to find my way through the "post all you want wherever you want":) feel that this forum gives me.
Anyways, is there anyone out there waiting on an EAD from VSC? I hoped to see an EAD section or service center section on the forum but...
I e-filed since November 3rd 2009 for EAD and did submit absolutely all required info, did biometrics in Feb.2010 not without having to inquire couple of times about the progress of my case. To this day I have received nothing that makes sense. It is an initial card.
Yes, I have done plenty of SRE, calls, mails with return receipt until I saw a movement on my case status. My card was mailed on May 26 2010. To my surprise, after 7 painful months of wait for a card that should take around 3 months; the card for some reasons (that the post office refuse to accept as being accurate) was being returned as undeliverable on the 1st of June and again the 8th of June:confused::confused::confused::confused:: (I did call USCIS between that time time period to provide the address they already had!!!).
I have not moved at all lately. The last change of address that I did was done by mail with return receipt, online, over the phone and I did receive a mail back at my new address stating that I did update my info. It was done in Novedmber 2009!!!!
Out of the blue, the address at which I received my biometrics appointment and all other documents following the many calls and inquiries was not right when it came to mail my card....:D
The post office that I did contact told me they had no reason to not deliver that particular mail since, yes my full name is displayed on the mail box, and yes it is a house not an apartment so less mismatches an all my other mails were dlivered... I have of course updated the address that they already have couple of times already but all I can do is wait ... Oh and I did the infopass as well, they could only type a note and give me a number linked to the inquiry like I get all the time. My DL expires tomorrow and the DMV won't renew without EAD or GC ...new policy at DMV!(my I485 is pending on I360 approved)
That's where my actual burden is because I have to drive myself to school and not being able to do so is just a living nightmare for me.
Now that you get the picture, I wonder if anyone who filed for an EAD at VSC since last year is still waiting? Is there any special backlog at VSC for EAD's that could help me start to understand what is going on here?

Health care reform has been passed for good or bad only time will tell.
But suffice to say it will give 30 million Americans some kind of coverage to seek medical care meaning more physicians are needed to provide care for these folks.
IV in the past had been working on excluding non-immigrant physicians from the EB category.Now that Health care reform has been passed, has anything been included in it for physicians practicing in rural areas(immigration benefits) ? If not i think we have missed a golden opportunity.

Given the situation for 485 denial. AFAIK, You have an option of filing for H1B (not counted against quota) based on your B's labor approval and pending 140. Once you use the EAD, technically you don't have the H1B status to transfer or extend. Hence, it will require you to go to consulate (b/c approval will come without I94) to stamp, and start working for Company B after you return.

lets fight to recapture Visa numbers from the previous years.. As this article rightly points us, the road ahead:
Not the End of the Road
Still unresolved is the issue of green cards that have gone unused in the past decade or more. USCIS estimates that 10,000 green cards of the 140,000 allotted for employment-based applicants were not issued last year. Immigration Voice estimates that 200,000 in total have gone unused in the last decade. Immigrant advocates have been urging the federal government to offer make these green-card slots available to help relieve the backlog of those waiting for green cards, an estimated 500,000.
Using green cards from previous years would require legislation from Congress. Lofgren says there have been "some discussions going on informally" about whether such a move is possible. But it's no sure thing. It would be difficult to pass such legislation in a Congress that is leery of any immigration issue after a comprehensive reform effort with the support of President George W. Bush and bipartisan leaders in the Senate got shot down earlier this summer.
Meanwhile, immigrant advocates say they will continue to press to speed the process of turning workers with visas into permanent residents. "This [decision] helps us move from a more painful limbo to a less painful limbo, but it's limbo nonetheless," says Immigration Voice's Pradhan. "Adjustment of status is not our final destination; green-card status is."

Hello,
My H1B was approved 3 weeks back i.e on July 1st and also received approval notice from USCIS on July 5th in USPS mail
But today I have received the status change from Approved to Document mailed from USCIS online system
Application Type: I129 , PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER
Current Status: DOCUMENT OTHER THAN CARD OR TRAVEL DOCUMENT MAILED TO APPLICANT
On July 21, 2009, your document I129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER was processed and mailed to the address on record. If you have not received it within 30 days of July 21, 2009, contact our customer service at 1-800-375-5283. If you move while your case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your address.
what does it mean ?
Thanks in Advance
The USCIS system if often messed up, as long as you have received your approval you are good to work on H-1. In rare cases they may decide to send an notice to revoke after they approve the case since they have overlooked something. I would not worry until i actually get such a notice, also you can have your employer call national customer service to make sure everything is okay with your approval.

I think my employer is not willing to sponsor the process due to some reasons.
Is there any other way of processing the Green card.Can i initiate it myself along with a lawyer
The only way you can make use of the fast track option available for L-1A visas is through your L employer. There is no other way.
One other option is to get a H-1b through a different employer who is also willing to sponsor a GC.
A sleazy option is to find one of those green card shops who will sponsor your GC for future employment in exchange for a fee. You can continue with your current L employer and your GC will continue through Mr Sleaze. Obviously this is abusing the system, but you would be surprised to know how many are doing it.
Note that both these options are not fast track. You will have to go through the full process and wait time.

Hi folks. My wife is petitioning for my green card and we are kind of stuck on a few questions. Hope someone can help us with some or all of these queries we have.
I-130
1. Part C q#10 - I arrived in the US in 2004 on an F1 visa. Now, I'm on H1B status. I don't believe I have ever been given an alien registration number. Am I wrong?
2. Part C q#14 - Do I say I arrived as a student even though I am currently on H1-B? If so, I don't have that I-94 anymore. It was taken by the airline when I left to get my H1-B stamped. Also, I have travelled extensively for work ever since I started my job. Consequently, I have two I94's. This is because I recently renewed my passport and when I went to Canada for business, upon returning they gave me a new I-94 (the previous I-94 is still in my old passport). So, what do i say i arrived as? And which I-94 number should I provide? Also, the format of the I-94 number on the top of the card seems to be different from that on the application ie. xxx-xxxxxxxx???
3. Part C q#19 and 20 - I don't really have any relatives in my home country anymore. Do I still have to give an address? Also, I can't write my name in my native language either. What do i do?
4. Part C q#22 - The instructions for I-485 say that if I am filing concurrently then I should mail everything to their lockbox address in Chicago. So, do I enter Chicago, IL here? or my current city, state of residence?
I-485
1. Part 3 - Non Immigrant visa number? I don't see this particular number anywhere on my H1-B visa. Can anyone help me locate this??
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards
k.

Last year my father expired and my mother is incapable of taking care of herself alone (she is suffering from pysio frania which basically means she fears strangers and repeats stuff) so i would like to apply for Visa extension for her. Can anyone suggest what points i should take care of while applying for Visa extension for her? or is there any visa under which i can have stay with me in US as dependent??

Why is Tata giving such huge donations to schools in US that are already established?
I would think he should have given donations to schools or colleges in India that really need it. Especially in remote villages where there are no schools or proper infrastructure.
Good question.
I am busy in meetings today and this weekend. But I will have some time on Monday. Please remind me on Monday to ask him your question. Thank you. :D
