Yes, it won't be a rejection or a denial either...just a simple RFE. Since both the names on the marriage certificate are different from the applicant (you) and the beneficiary (your wife), USCIS should be able to deduce that it's a mistake.

You can get 1099 MISC on H1B and also include that in your tax returns. You need to file a separate form though. I have done this before and confirmed with my attny that there should be no issues with that. The only thing that is important is that the income must be of a passive type.
Income must be passive type meaning it should not exceed the income which iam getting on my present H1job or anything else which iam missing.

Guys, I guess almost everybody is done with their finger printing by now. I am wondering what is the status of everybody's I-485 application on the case-status-online website after finger printing? Mine is showing some weird status, so I thought I better check with others.

Really? Did they give you that information?
I have taken infopass 2 times in last 2 years, and they just tell me - we cannot tell anything about that info from the "screen" they have access to.
They just give a vague answer that everything is in order but your visa numbers are not available for your dates, you need to wait for visa number

I have interview for AOS employment based on June 20th, 2006. The letter simply says get passport and I94. However i am planning to take all documents with me.
Here are my case details:
- Labor was filed in 2001 Nov in MI
- 140 approved in Oct 2003
- 485 filed in Jan 2004
- changed employer in 2004 Nov on EAD
- RFE for employment letter in Mar 2004
- Case transfered to local office (Newark), May 2005
- 3 EAD renewals, 3 AP renewals
- 25 % more salary than old job. Title in old job was programmer/analyst.
- New job when joined was Systems Analyst.
- For RFE response, supplied a good letter with same job description.
- The current JOb is NJ with a well known insurance company.
- Recently i got promoted to Information systems Consultant
Now my Qs are
- What can i expect during the interview?
- Anyone with similar experience, can you share ur experience?
- Change in titles, more salary, labor being from a different state etc are
making me very nervous
- Are there chances that i get rejected/approved same day? if rejected, will be disastrous as i am not H1 anymore?
Most of the time they will just verify some of your application details verbally. The fact that this is an AOS interview should give you positive hope instead of negative feelings. In my experience they will never schedule an appointment if they have queries or doubts about your status, bro.

"1) if I tell the current employer to contine the process(which I dont think he will have problem with) and join the job on h1b will my I-485 status be changed or will it effects the current process?
2) I am currently runnig on sixth year of h1b and my current visa expires in 2010 bades on the pending process with current employer. if I join the new employer on h1b what will be the H1b status will be?
"
--Questions are not clear or I failed to understand them. IMO, when I-140 is denied, 485 goes down the drain. While your I-140 is in MTR process, you can switch to another job on h1b and start PERM process and then I-140 immediately. Since your 6 years on h1b are up, make sure the new process qualifies you for further h1b extensions(beyond 6 years) based on 365 day rule.
My guess is, if your I-140 gets denied, your h1b with 3 years of validity is not going to be valid any longer. Because you got that extension based on your previous labor and I-140. You have to jump to new GC process as soon as possible.
Also, talk to your lawyer. Hold my opinion as mere opinion.

The Orange County Register has an article about Immigration related policy making (CIR?) that is going on behind the scenes.
http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/news/nationworld/article_1624369.php
Agreed that this is no New York Times or Washington Post report, but hey some news is better than no news at all, don't you agree?

The text of the article:
Kennedy says immigration bill will happen
California's Assembly Speaker meets with veteran lawmaker as part of Washington lobbying trip.
By DENA BUNIS
The Orange County Register
WASHINGTON Just because a comprehensive immigration bill has not yet been introduced in the Senate that doesn't mean the issue has gotten off the track, Sen. Edward Kennedy said today.
The Massachusetts Democrat said bipartisan negotiations are continuing both among the members of the Judiciary Committee and with the White House. The veteran lawmaker has made the calculation that it's better to get as much agreement on the elements of what is likely to be a complex and controversial bill before it gets introduced than after.
"It is the judgment of those who want the bill that the way we are following is the fastest way of getting the legislation,' said Kennedy. "Obviously we have to consider it on the floor in May or no later than June.''
Kennedy spoke to reporters about the status of an immigration bill this afternoon after a meeting with California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nu�ez and Assembly Republican leader Mike Villines. More than 30 state lawmakers are spending three days in the nation's Capitol, lobbying federal officials on issues ranging from education to the environment to immigration.
"We believe states like California are disproportionately affected by immigration since we have such a large population of undocumented in our state,'' said Nu�ez. "But we also believe these undocumented immigrants, whether they come here legally or not are a contributing factor to California's economy. We have hundreds of thousands of families that are looking forward to a comprehensive solution to immigration reform. "
Villines attended the meeting with Kennedy but skipped the following news conference.
"If is doesn't happen it isn't going to be for a lack of effort,'' said Nu�ez. The Assembly leader plans to meet today with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and he said he will make it clear that this is a top priority for state lawmakers.
When asked, Pelosi has said she supports a comprehensive bill but it is not an issue she often mentions when enumerating her top goals. A bipartisan group of House members are working on their own immigration bill, which could be introduced as early as this week.
That measure, as well as any bill Kennedy is a part of, will likely include increased border enforcement, a new guest worker program, and a computerized program to verify employment status and a path to legalization for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants here now.
President Bush supports such a plan despite vocal opposition from members of his own party.
Kennedy has spent months negotiating a broad overhaul bill with his partner thus far in this effort, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. But last week, after it became clear that there were still significant details the two could not agree on, Kennedy said he instead planned to bring back the bill that was voted out of the Judiciary Committee last year.
Also complicating the deal making this year are separate talks among a group of GOP senators and the White House. Several of the Republican senators involved in the talks are known not to be willing to vote for a bill that includes a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
Asked whether he is concerned about such a proposal, Kennedy indicated that such a bill wouldn't work.
"If the constituency groups and the stakeholders are not interested in this then the legislation isn't worth the paper it's printed on,'' he said.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., recently said she believes the best route to take may be to pass a bill that would affect the five million agricultural workers and do that as a first step towards a broader solution.
But Nu�ez said he doesn't favor such an approach.
Nu�ez said the labor needs of the inner cities in California and around the country wouldn't be taken care of if just agriculture is addressed.
"If you take care of the ags piece I fear it will be a long time before you get comprehensive reform in the other areas,'' Nu�ez said. "Our hope obviously in California, is that we can solve this problem in its entirety and do it in one effort."

Hi,
I submitted my 485 in julyEven i applied for my wife too.....we both got EAD, AP...She left to India...we have problems and we may seperate each other...So not sure when we get divorce because of outdated Indian marriage laws...Are there going to be any problems when they are adjudicating my 485 application? Her FP done and she got AP until Sep 2008...Now what will happen if USCIS sends out an FP notice for my wife...She won't be doing finger printing...Is it going effect my GC in anyway?
Since it looks like you are the primary applicant and your wife is the derivative beneficiary, I do not think your processing should be affected. I am not sure what you need to do to inform USCIS of your new status after you are divorced from your wife.

Dear Members
I seek your expert advise on following situation as my lawayer is not much clear on the topic.
I am from India and filed through university my I-140 and I-485 Concurrently on August-22,2006 in EB-2 SCHEDULE A ( Categorey II) EXCEPTIONAL ABILITY which is still current for all countries including India.. I had not seen any activity on My I-140 yet and Now for EB-2 Premiumprocessing is available now.More over Schedule A is likely to retrogess some time in November,2006
In this regards I need your guidance on following points.
(1) Does the possible retrogession in November means they will retrogess from November-2006 onwards? or they may retrogess even before say March-2006 or any previous date.
(2) If they retrogess from say Nov-15 than does it means that since I applied on August-23, My I-485s ( me and my family) will continue to be processed?
(3) In the view of possible retrogession of Schedule A, do you think I should go for Premium processing or not? Does it will help in any way to avoid retrogession of I-485s
(4)Based on past experiences, Does the application for premium processing hurt in any way in terms of final decision ( not the speed but out come approval or denial)?
Your input will greatly help me in deciding about premium processing.
Thanks

Please admin I need help here. I am leaving my best job and going back to join worst desi employer just to file for 485. But I am scared to death what if he denies to file my 485? what are the documents needed if he denies?
Otherwise I will be from nowhere .
Like I said, please contact a good lawyer for best possible course of action. You will need 140 approval photocopy at the minimum. If you have that, then its possible to file 485 behind employer's back BUT PLEASE CONSULT A LAWYER as there may be pitfalls that apply to your case and you need to know about them.
