Hi guys,
Some of may think "Wait for the actual letter to come" but I feel too nervous and just want to share my thoughts. I applied for EB5 and my I526 was approved. Then I applied adjustment of status and got an I485 RFE. Have not got the letter yet but got the email that my case is on hold right now. Can you tell me about the RFE? Is that common? Is that the first step of denial? I'm so nervous right now. I will write what they are asking when I got the letter which I'm expecting on Tuesday or Wednesday. Thank you very much.

In simple words..
Trying to game the internal processing of USCIS case handling is like trying to guess the weather based on daily horoscope... ! No way attorney can know that.. only reason they probably want to wait is some ulterior motive such as company trying to hold onto the employee or attorny looking for extra fees.. absent that.. I would be worried coz then that would mean attorny is incompetent and does not know which end is up..
Here's what we do know
I485 filing provides MAJOR benefits.
140 processing can go on for year or so and meanwhile a lot can change in terms of Priority dates etc.
485 filing does not begin 485 processing if 140 is pending.. that's in USCIS memos.. only same office will handle 485 so in fact it is better! coz once you get past 140.. you are home free.. as opposed to other cases where 140 evidence is being re-checked at the time of 485 approval..
So GO AHEAD file concurrently..

I'm sure many more states will want this kind of law, and thats what pushes the CIR to the top of the files.

another distraction for the officers? already they are eagerly waiting for the visa bulletin (just like all of us) to decide on future course of work... :D
Now they might all just forget work, come out and dance to the marathi number... :eek:

went for infopass for correcting wife's DOB. Officer said it cannot be corrected here. After some protest, he took photocopies of birth certificate and passport and then sent e-mail to service center. Also, enquired about her EAD which is now pending for 110 days. Officer was not able to say why it is pending. just have to wait.
My wife went for her biometrics today and what a surprise, her date of birth on the system was wrong.
She only had DL on her and no passport. So, the ASC staff took her biometrics but refused to correct her DOB, claiming that passport was needed.
So, we called up USCIS and upon description of the problem,were immediately transferred to level 2. Level 2 looked at the cases and confirmed that DOB was wrong on I-485. It was correct in I-765 and I-131. She said that the only way to correct it was to take infopass and present passport and DL.
It is now more or less clear that DOB mismatch has caused her EAD to be stalled for so long.I have already got my EAD.
Moral of the story : take passport for FP, infopass, etc. all the time.
Our EADs and APs were filed separately with I-485 courier receipt. What a mess !!
lets see what happens at infopass.

Hi,
I looking for porting my approved EB3 labor and 140 to EB2. Here are my details:
My qualification: Diploma in electronics and communication Engg in India
(3 years diploma after 10th)
Years of experience: Since 1991 in IT (About 20 YRs)
Green card process: EB3 Approved labor and 140.
Situation: When I contacted one of the university in USA they informed me that I can
do the Masters instead of BS online degree.
My question1: Will I be eligible to file my EB2 if I do Masters without doing BS?
My question 2: Is MS from International Technological University (http://www.ITU.EDU) is accepted bu USCIS for Immigration purpose?
Thanks in advance
3-yr diploma is considered equivalent to US High-school diploma( 12th grade) and how can one get MS without bachelor's degree? and remember in most cased USCIS require you to show 4-year US equivalent bachelor degree even for EB3

You cannot work with an expired EAD. End of the story.
But if it is approved and you haven't got the card in your hand , few companies would allow you to work for 90 days from the date of approval.
so a person whose EAD expires but is waiting renewed EAD card has to resign and then be rehired??? Isn't there some clarity regarding this?

I am in the process of changing job. The new employer is saying that I can start working with them from the very next day, after they file H1B transfer application. ie I don't have to wait for the receipt. Is this true? They are asking me to give 2 weeks notice immediately so that by the time they file H1B, 2 weeks will get over, and I can start there immediately.
Please reply its kind of urgent for me.
Thanks.
Yes,, that's true. You dont need to wait for the USCIS Receipt.. the Fedex delivery receipt is enough for you start working...but it is considered safer to wait for a week before you start working.. because USCIS would have banked the check by then for the fees and that usually the check would have the receipt no on the back.. but again you dont have to wait for this..the fedex ack is enough to start work

We filed for 485 in 2007 july fiasco... and so far, we never received FPs for me or my wife..
my lawyer called the TSC a couple of times, and I called at least 3 times, and all the time, they say it is fine, and they will contact me if they need anything. We got our EADs and APs renewed as well, but never received FPs...
Every time I contacted them and explained the problem, they would open up a case to investigate and they send us letters a couple of months later saying my application is within the current processing times...
I am hoping this is only normal, and there are others out there in the same boat as mine...
Am I wrong in assuming so? Let me know if there is anything I should do?

Huh??
I'm just curious. How will the driver read "No right turn on red"? There is no sign for that.
As far as "No right turn on red" is concerned, there could be text only (http://www.safetysystemshawaii.com/store/assets/images/product-catalog/bs_regulatory_signs/r10/sr16_4ea_18x24_hi.jpg) or sign only (http://www.trafficsignstore.com/R10-11c.jpg) or both.
For "text only" cases also drivers of other languages must honor. The sign test has several "text only" questions. I think, DMVs are making effort, so that other language driver also must know all the signs and texts - at least by taking exams.

my wife's case was little different, Most of the time they(SSN office staff) don't know the procedure. It happned to my wife who entered US on H1B and we went to SSN office 3rd day after her arrival. The representative told us to wait 2 weeks and then apply as shw can't pull the data, we went very next day and told that we have called the office and they said there is no such rule to wait, the representative should accept your application immidiately. the lady took our application and guess what - less than 2 weeks we received SSN card for my wife.
My wife's H1 got approved & it is valid from October Ist. When she went to Social Security Office today 9/30 - they denied saying they can't pull up her information in their system (from INS) & hence they can't issue the SSN.
She was carrying her I-797 approval (along with I-94).
Anyone else faced a similar situation ? Any suggestions.

It takes courage to stand with fliers in your hand in the middle of a crowd, trying to hand out to people and in return get a look from them as if they are saying we are not buying whatever you are selling.
But three of our members had courage to face that looks and ignore the humiliation of being ignored by most people. These people are Raj , Murali and Kumar.
In spite of several people residing in tri state area , only four (including myself) volunteers showed up to distribute fliers at the India day parade. In the eyes of IV and all those who are living far enough to participate in our effort, these people are true heroes.
Interestingly, we met couple of people at the parade who claimed to be member of IV. What does being a member of IV means? Unless you actively participate, you are not a real member.
Anyways, the crowd at the parade was good and our team did best they could do and were able to distribute around 500 fliers. I fully agree that we could have done more and with more enthusiasm had our number were greater. But in spite of the odds, the spirits remained high.
I thank again to Raj , Murali and Kumar for sticking together for our cause. It is the people like you who will make the change happen.
May god bless you!
Thanks
Sanjeev

wooah...i got the problem solved.
The problem we had was, we got the pay from jan to may but the employer gave all the pay just for pay period May instead of individual months.
NY ways, i consulted a attorney and he suggested few things....
Interesting that you got it solved in 3 hours and then came back here to delete your post...
Good luck with whatever it is that you are doing!
Thanks,

Let us give our leaders a break for now. Let us focus on filing the apps ASAP. IV core has been working on these issues for a long time. Let us knock one wicket at a time.
Superdude and others -- momentum does not stick around -- acting before the bureaucratic mumbo jumbo starts is pretty important. While the Emilio Gonzalez and Co are still feeling the heat, while Lofgren and Co remember why this happened in the first place, before Numbersusa and Co get their story together even on this issue. The attention span of Congress, the attention span of the press is very very short.
To be completely frank, EADs and APs are crumbs -- crumbs we will all be eating for years as we wait for our green cards.
