Today I got I-140 approval and I am eligible for apply for I-485.
Case successfully transfer from EB3 to EB2
I am also anticipating international travel on business.
My lawyer told, just applies for I-485. As I have H1 approval till 2009 and current visa sampled on my passport.
I am thinking to apply for I-485, EAD and AP at the same time.
Is it good to apply I-485, EAD and AP all at the same time?
I was told, once I-485 applied I can�t travel unit received the notice of receipt of I-485. Is this true?
Today�s contribution $40

By Mr. Cannon:
"NNCPS is partnering with other Agencies to provide contractors and personnel to process name checks. For example, the FBI and USCIS have implemented a key initiative to use contractor resources to prioritize the processing of "Single-Hit" USClS Name Check requests, that is, pending name check requests that have only one FBI file potentially identified with it that needs to be reviewed in order to process the request. By applying contractor resources to process these "Single Hit" requests, the FBI may significantly reduce the pending USClS name check workload."
Are they interested in national security or just numbers of processed name checks? Why not create a special team to handle requests with the high number of "hits" as those are much more dangerous potentially for the national security?

Applying 485 through Spouse
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Priority date is Jan 2006, EB2-India category having approved I-140. My husband is in EB3-India having pd Jan'2004, already applied I-485 (140 is approved) and got his EAD and AP. He is already using his EAD. I am a dependent in his I-485 but did not use my EAD and still continuing on H1-B.
Since my case is EB2-India which is going to be current in August'2008. Am I eligible to apply for I-485 me being the primary and my husband being my dependent? If so would there be any problem when USCIS adjudicates my case?
Your valuable response is highly appreciated.
Interfiling I-485 is not possible in your case. Recommended option will be to file a second I-485 set to use your EB2 category benefit. Again talk to you attorney and get his expert advise.

What if my spouse and I both have approved/ pending I-140s?
Some of our clients who have pending or approved I-140 petitions also have a spouse with a pending/ approved I-140 petition. The question arises of which I-140 petition to attach the I-485 filing to. This determination depends on several factors, including which spouse has greater job security; whether one spouse wishes to leave his/her employer; whether one spouse is in a preference category for which visa numbers will become available more quickly, etc.
In a recent meeting with the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), USCIS officials stated that while the regulations do not prohibit the filing of multiple adjustment of status applications by one alien, if one person does file two such applications, they may pick one to deny since both cannot be approved. USCIS also stated that where one alien is the principal applicant and the other is the derivative, the I-485 applications cannot be transferred to the other spouse’s I-140 petition. Instead, the pending I-485s must be withdrawn and new I-485s must be filed with the other spouse listed as the principal applicant.

I am going for concurrent 140 & 485. Can I apply for EAD and AP now? or do I need to have my 140 cleared before I can apply for EAD and AP?
Hi Guys,
I am also in the same situation. Recently I changed the employer. My new employer is going to file I-140 and I-485 using the Labor substitution.
I also want to file EAD and AP but the company attorney is saying it is safer to file the EAD and AP once the I-140 is approved. Can any one please answer this is true or not? Should I wait for I-140 to be approved or should I try convince the attorney to file EAD and AP also along with I-140 and I-485.
I have one more question which is if We do not file the EAD and AP along with the I-485 and once the priority dates are retrogessed. Can we file
EAD and AP even though the priority dates are not current.
I would appreciate the answers.
Thanks

Be ready with the following supporting documents. My attorney asked the following:
1. Personal Details -
(Travel Plans in the next 3 months, Moving Plans in the next 6 months, Contact Information, Passport and I-94 info, Employment Hisotry - Last 5 years+ Last job ouside US, Residence History - Last 5 years + last residence outside US, LC, I-140, EAD and details, and a few other questions, etc)
2. Passport copies- all pages, current, all old.
3. All I-20, I-94, I-797, LC, I-140 copies
4. Birth Certificates or Birth Affidavits
5. Marriage Certificate or Marriage Affidavits -
6. Sealed Medical Exam Cover - I-693
7. 6 photos for adults ( 4 if under 14)
8. Photocopy of current I-94
9. Divorce Certificate (if applicable)
Happy Filing.
My lawyer said that I can travel after filling 485, but at the same time the form he sent asks my travel plan for next 3 month. Do you know why they want to know that detail?

An article in news talking about immigrtion reform bill:
http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/stories/2006/01/16/focus5.html?from_rss=1
The gist of it below:
Employers concerned about access to foreign-born talent at the higher-skill end of the scale may also find that the New Year brings good news, of a sort. If the border security and guest worker issues are dealt with early in the year, some in Congress are evidently preparing to try and "fix" the employment-based immigration system, originally designed in 1952, which has become close to unworkable.
However, a Congress fractured on immigration policy most likely lacks the political will to fully reengineer the system. Instead of a major renovation to make the U.S. competitive in the global market for highly skilled talent, there probably will be only the usual technical fixes around the edges.

Hey guys
I was a mostly passive observer during the S 1932 battle, and really admire all of your perseverance. I think all of you did very well with the limited time and zero funds that you had. A little bit about myself: I am a physician from India currently doing medical research here. I am currently busy interviewing for the medical residency Match 2006 (for those of you who know or care) and therefore will not be able to spend as much time here as I would like. I myself am not a GC applicant yet but am extremely interested in the cause you guys are taking up and want to see this thing being worked through. I believe our demands are just and fair, and perfectly in line with the American tradition of fairness. Our demands are just waiting to be intelligently articulated and brought to wider public attention, and will resonate well with all lawmakers irrespective of ideology. We will have to be careful about distinguishing our requirements from competing and confusing interests like illegal aliens, security issues and even H1B visa seekers.
No American, from the most socially conservative Republican to the scared-about-job-loss Democrat will grudge a legal immigrant -who has played by all the rules all the time and pays all taxes- to reduce his immigration wait period from 7 years to 2 years! We have to play on this sense of American fairness (which exists btw to those who are skeptical) and spread the news about our legit demands (and indeed our existence) to the wider American audience. We have to carry this issue from the arena of policy debate to the personal - tell Americans how it feels like for spouses to waste their time and hope, to not be able to buy a home or plan any kind of life beyond the wait period for the green card. We have to tell them that we are not just potentially controversial legislation, but real people, with dreams, hopes, fears and sensitivities- just like them. After all, we are a significant number among their physicians and software engineers, scientists and nurses, professors and graduate students.
But we should present these facts well to our audience, and not let communication glitches convert a no-brainer into a close contest. We should not let bad English or an unprofessional approach towards lawmakers/ media feed into stereotypes of “cheap labor” class peddled by the anti-immigrant groups. We have to be savvy and creative about our PR. We have to collect funds and organize the enormous mass of people affected by this issue. Among other things, we have to be politically sensitive and not pass judgments on illegal aliens or protectionist Democrats or anti-immigrant groups in our dialogue amongst ourselves or with others.
I am aware all of this is tall order, but if we can manage this, I think America will give us what we ask for inside of 6 months. I will contribute as much as I can, as will be allowed by my current pressured situation ; ) Like many others here, I can put forth ideas and suggestions. I think I am politically aware and because I (used to) closely follow the general political media, I will probably be able to provide the American perspective on things, which again many others here regularly do.
Thanks for your time and may 2006 have the very best for us!

But we should present these facts well to our audience, and not let communication glitches convert a no-brainer into a close contest. We should not let bad English or an unprofessional approach towards lawmakers/ media feed into stereotypes of “cheap labor” class peddled by the anti-immigrant groups. We have to be savvy and creative about our PR. We have to collect funds and organize the enormous mass of people affected by this issue. Among other things, we have to be politically sensitive and not pass judgments on illegal aliens or protectionist Democrats or anti-immigrant groups in our dialogue amongst ourselves or with others.
I am aware all of this is tall order, but if we can manage this, I think America will give us what we ask for inside of 6 months. I will contribute as much as I can, as will be allowed by my current pressured situation ; ) Like many others here, I can put forth ideas and suggestions. I think I am politically aware and because I (used to) closely follow the general political media, I will probably be able to provide the American perspective on things, which again many others here regularly do.
Thanks for your time and may 2006 have the very best for us!

Thanks.
But couldn't make out if it would apply to new H1B applications or new and H1B extensions.
If anyone can throw some light on this please do..

Maybe we can use the H-1 B reform bill, to recapture unused visas during the last many years. Make H-1 B tough but at the same time, release those green card numbers. Carrot and Stick approach.
The percentage of people here are a very small percentage of that 25%.
H1/L1 restrictions are not going to encourage american kids. It does not impact their thinking. Maths, science are tougher subjects for kids. Kids in India were pushed by their parents to study science in search for a good career. Kids here have a lot other avenues which are more attractive to a kid. Kids do not understand L1/H1. 90% of adult population here does not understand H1/L1. REstricting H1/L1 will not influence a kid to take up science and engineering.

Friends, IV�ians and fellow sufferers,
Today we received our physical Green card; 63 years since my motherland got her freedom I got mine. Its been a long journey and I am glad that I can shut this chapter and go on to the next..
First of all let me tell you that the mail that you get the card is as incognito as they come. Its not in the USCIS envelope, looks almost like a credit card offer. Wife was almost going to shred it but felt the card and opened it :). Its actually green. With the date of birth mentioned a gazillion times. Magnetic strip, hologram and all that kind of jazzy stuff. I have no freaking clue where they got the picture from, its not what I submitted with the I485. It should be the one they took while finger printing in 2007.
Finally I popped the cork off a bottle of Champagne that I have been saving for this occasion and have taken more than a few morsel sips of the bubbly. (please pardon any excesses I might make in this post :D). Now I can chart out my career as I want to with no constraints to cap my potential. I can attain full self actualization in whatever I decide to do and also hopefully contribute more to society both here in my karma bhoomi and back in India my janma bhoomi.
If I may paraphrase Jawaharlal Nehru � when the world sleeps (its 12:45AM eastern); I awaken� !!
I have contributed both financially and with my time to IV. I will continue to do so. I wish all of you the very best and hope the ones waiting in get their GC soon. Keep the faith.
Smisachu,
I am happy for you. The process indeed takes an emotional toll on us. Thanks for the heads up about the type of mail. I will be careful to watch out for "credit card offer" type snail mails.

Here is the response I got from my Senator in TX. Looks like atleast this senator is aware of what's going on. Is there anyway the leaders at immigrationvoice.org could arrange a meeting with him in Washington to see if he can influence our cause.
Dear Dr. XXXXX:
I regret that my reply to your letter has been delayed. I strive to respond to each constituent in a timely fashion, but a technical error in an e-mail system used by the Senate prevented my reply from reaching you before today. The input that you and other Texans provide is valuable to me, and I appreciate the opportunity to respond without further delay.
Thank you for contacting me about delays in securing immigration visas. I appreciate having the benefit of your comments on this matter.
In the wake of customer complaints and concerns voiced by elected officials, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has informed my office that it is committed to ensuring six-month processing times for all applications and petitions by the close of 2006. Though the USCIS security check process is time consuming, USCIS reforms will not compromise national security in any way. USCIS officials reported recently that streamlining efforts, together with additional resources from Congress, have enabled it to reduce the backlog for many applications. Officials are confident they will achieve their goal for all applications. I applaud this commitment to customer service and look forward to a time when all who seek to visit or immigrate to America receive a prompt decision.
It has also come to my attention that once USCIS approves a petition, many individuals must wait lengthy periods of time because of visa shortages. I recently voted to support a measure that would recapture unused visas from prior years a move which would reduce the overall waiting period for visas. I will also continue to advocate for additional opportunities for legal immigration. Our immigration laws must not favor illegal immigration, but must instead reward those who comply with the rule of law.
I appreciate having the opportunity to represent Texans in the United States Senate. Thank you for taking the time to contact me.
Sincerely,
XXXXXXXXXXX
United States Senator
