alright..I came back without any problem.
Immigration at POE (Dulles airport) was breeze, first officer said, "oh..you have parole letter".
he checked something in the system and asked me to go inside..
Took baggage..went into customs...where they sent me into another room.
CBP officer took the AP..felt bad that I have been waiting since 2007 for GC..in < 5 mins, stamped and said, good luck..you are done.
Thats it.
Welcome back and thanks for posting the conclusion of the thread.
Hope all is well on home front.

For the record, that did seem to help and can be credited (at least partially) for the reversal of USCIS' stated position during the July '02 visa bulletin fiasco. It also brought IV and our issues a fair amount of publicity.
It's easy to be an armchair critic... at least IV as an organization does something. :)
Regardless, if you have any creative suggestions, feel free to post.

It will also slow down the overall processing, increase revenues for USCIS with tons of EAD/AP renewal fees. Its also a bonanza for lawyers. What a lovely system! To think that people still believe stupidities like marching in DC or sending flowers to USCIS will fix the system!

When did you file I-140 at TX? RFE could be for documents about ability to pay.

what you are looking. Come out of the secret location and give some hints. Are you in Montana? Just kidding.
I am not getting any appointment in June with any doctor within 60 miles from my place. So I took an appointment with a doc 70+ miles away for end of june. The only problem is I need to go twice 70 miles one way. The clinic suggested I do the blood work in nearby county clinic, but the county clinic wants 7-10 days to get results of blood work. I asked them for HIV and Sephallius test to be done. I already got TB Skin test(tested negative) done at county clinic.
Can someone please tell what all blood tests need to be done, so I can check if any other doctor can do the blood work and I can save one 70 mile trip . Thanks.

Focus on the core issues (if you care), not on extraneous stuff. For petes sake, it is already approved, seems like most of us are only focussed on our own backs or riding on others.
cygent I disagree with you.
this journey for me started 5 years ago, at this stage I'll take whatever piece of information, trend or experience I can get to better understand the process.
lets be honest, USCIS have been less than helpful in providing updates and many lawyers are as lost as we are
so I'll take whatever extraneous stuff I can get, not just to understand my case, but to see the trends with other people too

The desperation of your post suggests that you don't need direction, you need therapy. We just need someone to give us some assurance that we will all be fine and live to see the light of the day on Tuesday even if DoS sends out a revised Visa Bulletin. At this time, I too need similar assurance from someone. Can anybody help?
Show us that you too know something about DOS. Please let us know what you know whether it's 50% truth or 98%.
We badly need an update from core team... even if it's conditional update.

hi,
I am in the same boat too. After liivng at the same place for more than 3 yrs,I have now decided to move on to new place, closer to work and to the kids school.
I am no longer with the employer through whom i filed the GC. Iam currently working on EAD as a permanent employee with a new company.(i haven't used AC21 either).
I don't want to file an AR11 with USCIS for address change.
Can somebody suggest as to what options i have regarding forwarding of mails from USCIS?
Thanks,

Hello,
We were current in the July bulletin (PD Dec 04, EB3 India) but did not apply for AP along with 485. I sent the AP application on Aug 16, after over-the-phone assurances from USCIS that I can apply with old fees as long as the application is post marked before Aug 17.
The application was not delivered for some reason on the 17, although I sent next-day express, but on the 20th. The application was returned citing incorrect fees.
I read in a thread on IV that such cases can be addressed to a specific officer, with clear instructions to the mailroom that they should not open/process the application. But inspite of a long search, I could not find that thread again.
Could someone please point me to the correct thread, or to any information about this exceptional process ? Can I speak directly to this officer ?
Thanks for your help.

The online AR11 form is giving 2 options . which one should we choose?
Only the first option (for US citizen) is giving options for pending cases!!!!
* Yes, this change of address is for a US Citizen
* No, this change of address is not for a US Citizen
Thanks

My AP was approved last week (Monday) still to get in mail.
Seems like AP takes a longer route to the mail box in USCIS... Mine is at NSC and my experience is that everything out of there is slower...
Anyways I am greatful that they approved it and its in mail ( fingers crossed )

This is my understanding.
when someone is on H1 status, employer is bound to pay him/her unless they have explicitly terminated the employment by a termination letter/H1 cancellation/Change of status/resignation letter from the employee.
How will USCIS know that the beneficiary has switched out of H1 status ?
You are right.
Employer must pay H-1 employee salary until
1. employee is notified of job termination (or employee resigns)
AND
2. USCIS is notified of such termination by request to cancel the H-1B petition.

They have a provision for deporting legal (and illegal) immigrants on their first DUI conviction. Seems to me they are now serious about creating an officialy declared permanent underclass in this country. The house Democrats are also singing the same chorus. I just can't believe that these are the same Democrats who we thought will replace the Republican Congress on the Hill and legalize every immigrants in this country. There were very few on this forum who thoght otherwise during 2006-CIR failure in the Republican congress.:mad:

While you can apply for an H-1B, the petition will not be approved for a change of status. Rather you will have to go back to your home country at the end of your L-1 status and apply for the H-1B visa in your home country, based upon the approved H-1B petition.
This is because your status will expire with the expiration of your I-94. So there will be a gap of about a month or so between your I-94 expiring in August and the H-1B petition start date of October 1st.
Your wife's status is tied to your status, so she will have to leave with you and come back on H-4 or get her own H-1B. She will not be able to work on H-4.
Whether or not you can apply for a green card now depends on what category you are eligible to apply in. The answer is probably no. Your L-1 was probably denied because you could not show that you had developed your company enough in the past year to warrant an extension of the L. That same issue is going to be a problem with you being able to file for an EB-1 multinational manager or executive. Any other category you are probably eligible for is going to require you to go through the PERM process.
