My H4 spouse left the country for vacation on May 25 (before h4 expiry)
Attorney filed 7th year ext and I 539 on Jun14.
My 6th year of H1 ended on Jun 17.
The attorney was not reachable by HR or myself. HR calls me today about problem with H4 and the attorney wants to discuss. What the heck ? Do they file I-539 when some one is not in the country ? She and I always maintained proper status. What can be the problem? I am freaking out to get my h1 ext approval asap and bring her back to file 485. Now my head is exploding. Any clues ? I cant bear this suspense.
Once your wife is not in this country..she would not be eligible to file 539...
But I do not think your head needs to explode...All you have to do now is to send your extension papers to wife back home and get her H4 stamped...
Without a stamp she cannot come back and by leaving country she abandoned the I539....
It is OK ...you shall live....Your attorney is gonna tell you the same thing tomorrow..

I need your input.
My PD was Feb 2006-EB2.
I changed job on June 22nd to another company using EAD. Now the PD has become current for Aug.My old company and the new company are in different cities but it is the same state.
I was planning to apply for AC-21 but i have not gotten consistent pay checks yet. My first check was a partial check. I will have 2 consistent paychecks by Aug 15th.
1) Is it safe to just wait and see if i get a 485 approval without alerting USCIS about my job change?
I am thinking since the job change is very recent they might not know about this job change.
2) If they denied my 485 application for any reason ,can i continue to work while i apply for "reconsidering my 485 application" and file AC-21 with the new company?
Please advice what you think about this. Basically i am trying to "not rock the boat" and raise suspicion and more RFEs by notifying them about this very recent change.
Thank you very much for your advice and help in this matter.

hi gjoe,
thanks for your reply. now EB3 Priority dates are gone back to 2001. say there is no visa numbers available after the 485 applications processed which are submitted in july and aug 2007. then waht they do? they have to keep the processed applications aside untill the visa numbers available right? so at that time which one become priority is Labour filing date or 485 RD?

Thanks MC thats a valid Point.
There are 2 reasons that I thought of for not applying / renewing.
1) I'm not planning on going anywhere after / atleast for a year.
2) My wife's AP filed last year took Six months to get approved and what happens if you fly out while your AP is pending / sent for renewal. I read in this forum, not fly out, while you AP is pending.
Appreciate your time.
Regards
Karthik

I am kindda in a similar situation. if your wife goes to F1 visa, and the dates become current (i.e you are eligible to apply for 485), you cannot add your wife to your 485 (immigrant AOS) petition on her F1 status. She either will have to come to H-1B/H-4/L-1/L-2 status. I had this conversation long time ago with my lawyer. The reason is that these categories of visas are recognized to have dual intent of migration. F-1, B-1 etc are not so you cannot apply for 485 if you are in any of those category of visas.
This is the biggest thing why you may have to consider being on H-1B only so that she can be on H-4 and you can add her whenever the dates are current for you again. Secondly, being on H-1B has other advantage for you as well. Suppose there is a problem with your 485 application and (god forbid) it gets denied. Then in that case you are not out of status if you have retained your H-1B status. You can be here in US until your H-1B petition expires and fight for a motion-to-reconsider on your 485 and resolve the issue. Had you been on EAD, you are out-of-status the day your 485 gets rejected.
I understand that not many employers are keen on doing H-1B due to the costs involved, but it might be a worthwhile option for you to explain to your employer the benefits associated with keeping an H-1B petition.

Bob, I'm clueless on portrait photography, but they look very good to me! :)
As far as the games is concerned, I try to keep the shutter speed at 1/500 or maybe 1/400 if necessary, to freeze motion reasonably well. There's still movement visible on sticks and pucks, but that's fine IMO. The arenas I've been to so far (small local areans for lower divisions) generally have poor lighting so... I usually get f/2-f/2.8 and 1/500 or thereabouts, and I'm still underexposing slightly. Use larger apertures and too much is OOF, the DOF is too shallow as it is. I'd love to try hockey in better light.
EDIT: Forgot the lenses... most good ones seem to come from 300/2.8 (mostly from the seats as it's on the long side), 135/2 (best results so far) and 85/1.8. My 70-200/2.8 is a bit of a disappointment, it is nowhere near as good as the 135/2 when used wide open. I've also started playing around a bit with wide-angles, it can give you some unusual action shots as long as you have the nerve to remain by the boards when the players come storming by. :)
Thanks Anders.......I think I will try my 200 1.8 and 135 2.0 (I'll also bring my 85 1.8)

A Memorandum of Marriage is different from the Certificate of Marriage.
A Memorandum of Marriage is required to obtain a Marriage Certificate.
Here is a sample (Schedule A) of the Memorandum of Marriage.
You will need to obtain one from your local Marriage Court.
http://ncw.nic.in/compMarriageBill.pdf
I would say, the marriage certificate, a notarized copy of the Memorandum of Marriage from India, with some additional proof, like photos, invites', etc should suffice.
To avoid the RFE, will it be okay to get registered at the local county in US?
I think during the time of economic recession, USCIS is trying to help survive the immigration lawyers,. At present there are less cases of new H1B as the quote is still open. My lawyer sends me some past invoices in between. LOL

Why does everyone think it can only be something that the USCIS has the power/authority to act on by themselves. It's been almost two weeks since this fiasco started and they may have been meeting with the right people to put something together.
Because in the 2 weeks since - there has been no bill introduced in either the House or Senate. Moreover, the bill would have to be "debated" and then passed in both houses and then signed by Bush. After Bush signs it, it would come into effect after a certain time period.

I am wondering if there is a potential issue for the applications filed between July 3rd to july 17th. This is the period when everything was in limbo. Is there any disadvantage for these folks?
So far I haven't seen anyone getting checks cashed or recipted in this period. We do see July 2nd notices comming in.
I had my 485 application received at NSC on July 3rd. And now we are hearing that they may transfer cases to TSC if I-140 was approved from there. Another delay! This wait is getting me restless.
I don't think we need to worry about July3-17 cases, and July3rd application is not any different from the July2nd application, except the fact that there was a one day delay. :) This is my take on this issue:
According to Jan Pederson, NSC received roughly 35,000 applications in first two days of July.07. As of 08/03/2007, USCIS completed receipt entry for the I-485 applications received till 07/01/2007. If we ASSUME USCIS enters roughly 4000--which could be too high, I believe--I-485 applications a day, it requires atleast 9 working days to complete the receipt entry of July2nd applications. i.e by Aug.16th, USCIS would have entered all of the July2nd applications, and from Aug.17th , they would start working on July 3rd applications.
Secondly, while processing the July2nd applications, USCIS doesn't give any priority to the actual time the applications were received. That is why some of us raise our eyebrows as to how the 11.30am filer gets the receipt notice before the 7.55am filer receives the same.
Again, it is just based on my personal observation.:)

Guys.Don't make the mistake that I made.
When you do medicals, get a copy for yourself as the doctor would seal the form and give you. Keep a copy for yourself.
I went in to get Physicals done and was charged 580$ for me and my wife.
they normally charge 200$ per person which is quite normal here in NJ/NY.
But they couldn't fine a record for me and had to order blood work and charged me160 for it. Also gave me 25$ flu shot.
On top of all they won't use my insurance for physicals.
SUCKS!!!!

Hi Guys,
I just wanted to get some input from the veterans here who have started a business in partnership while they have been waiting for the coveted green card.
What kind of legal paperwork does it take to start a business? I would think as long as you don't work for the business it should be ok? If you can own part of a corporation (stocks), you can be a partner in a business?
Ideas?

What do you mean by
"Can an attorney force me to file AC-21 even if i dont want to?"
Are you asking if the attorney would file the change of employment letter?
Please clarify your question
What I am trying to say is if the attorney prefers Ac-21 filing without waiting for RFE, while I may want to wait for RFE if i am sure sponsoring employer wont withdraw 140, whose word will prevail?

Your Lawyer is correct:
As you left your employer in less than 180days from filing 485, you can not invoke AC21.
The only way for you to save this GC is to have intention (both, you and your employer) to have permanent job after GC and you and your employer should be able to confirm that in the event of an RFE.
Furthermore, if there is no RFE and your employer does note revoke I 140; and your GC get approved; you will have to start working with your employer (duration of such employment is never clarified in law; search the forum for details). If you dont do so, you may have trouble later on (CIS can revoke GC or you can be denied citizenship with revocation of GC several years later...).
Therefore, it may be a good idea to start another GC ASAP (if your current employer really does not want to hire you once GC is approved) and have another status as a backup to fall on to just in case your employer revokes I 140 (which he ideally should if he is not intending to hire you after the GC is approved).
Good Luck.
