Hi Starscream,
I am currently in the same situation like you are (and hopefully were?); they are a mistake in filling the ETA9089.
The error is in such a way that from USCIS point of view, I worked during the gap of period between my OPT and H1-B transition.
So I guess I just want to know how your case is resolved? That way I have an idea what will happen to mine. ;(
Thanks for the info!

This is a very sad message this morning I got to read from my inbox. I am not bothered about losing the pledge, but I am shocked to see only 88 members pledged. The sadest part is that this pledge is created by a US Citizen for IV.
IV Members 6000+
Retrogressed members 350,000+
Why only 88 pledged? Many people wants free ride which they cannot get if they dont want to unite for the common cause. I know most of the H1b holders are paid well and spend a lot. But when it comes to donate, they feel $1 equivalent to $1000. The reason is they feel they are not getting anything in return which is not true and they feel they are smart to get a free ride when others donate.
If you dont unite for the common cause, everyone including is going to struggle to get what you want. But at least the donated members will feel good about trying their best.
*************** EMAIL FROM PLEDGEBANK *****************
We are sorry to have to inform you that the pledge to which you
signed up did not meet its target in the required time. It
required 1000 other people, but achieved only 88.
The pledge, created by Randall Emery, read: 'I will donate $10
monthly to Immigration Voice for one year but only if 1,000
other people will too.'
This means you don't have to do your part of the pledge.
Instead, why not sign up to local alerts at
http://www.en-gb.pledgebank.com/alert to find out when someone
creates a new pledge near you, browse the pledges at
http://www.en-gb.pledgebank.com/list or perhaps make your own

for 482 the 2 checks of 325 and 70 and one check of 180$ for I765 should be payble to 'Department of Homeland Security', or 'United States Citizenship and Immigration Service'
The form says it should be payble to 'Department of Homeland Security' and the immigration voice 485 help thread says it should be payble to 'United States Citizenship and Immigration Service' .
Please suggest and sorry if this si a repost. I could not find a exact answer.
Thanks
-M:confused:
Why 2 checks for I-485? My attorney advised 1 check for $395! And I was asked to issue the check favouring U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service.

Hi
My H1B expires on sept 30th 2010.(passport has vaild visa also stamped in it till sept 30th)
Extension has been applied . If extension is approved say by august, can I go for stamping in august end.Basically how soon can i go for h1b stamping before old stamping expires.
If there is a problem in stamping can i return on the old visa stamp.
Thanks
ANAND
I have been to the interview before approximately 60 days of visa expiration 3 times and no issues.
Last year when I went for interview I was told that my visa is approved and I will get the passport in 5-7 days but when I did not get the passport after 15 days I called embassy and was told that my case is in admin processing and will take up to 60 days. Since my previous visa was valid so I asked for my passport and got it and came on the old visa stamp.

In my opinion - with a Apr10 AP expiry date, getting a Schengen until Apr20 may not be possible. Unless the consulate wants to be nice to you! :)

I came to US on H4, 3 years ago. Later I took my H1B with a recruiter and got it with I-94. It was valid up to 2007 oct. But I couldn't take up any work due to some problems. Recently I went to India and came back. At the port of entry I got new I-94 with H4 stamping. Means My H1 Is not valid now ? In this case, is there any way to apply for change of status again as my H1 is valid up to 2007. Or else do I need to apply for my new H1B again ? Pl. any one clarify.
Once you are counted in the H1 cap you don't need to be counted again to extend your H1 status. But if you went to the consulate and got an H4 visa stamp, you might need to wait again till h1 visa is available again in april 2007.
I am curious to know, how your interview went in the consulate. Because you were on H1, without working. If you were not working and not recieving paystubs you are out of status. Didn't that create problems when you change to H4 ?

I would like to see this kind of report in front page of WSJ and NY times.
I like the below points from the report.
- There is no evidence that during the long periods of time when no foreign
nationals could receive new H-1B petitions the job market improved for U.S. workers or professionals.
- The March 2009 findings from Duke University and University of California, Berkeley researchers send a signal that America cannot take it for granted that outstanding international students, researchers and professionals from around the world will always want to stay and work in the United States.
- The relaxation of green card constraints proposed in the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 could have increased labor earnings and GDP by approximately $34 billion in the tenth year following enactment and had a net positive effect on the budget of $34 to $47 billion over ten years.
- Relaxation of H-1B caps under the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 could have increased labor earnings and GDP by $60 billion in the tenth year following enactment and improved the federal budget�s bottom line by $64 to $86 billion over ten years.�
- �Over the past 15 years, immigrants have started 25 percent of U.S. public companies that were venture-backed, a high percentage of the most innovative companies in America . . . The largest U.S. venture-backed public companies started by immigrants include Intel, Solectron, Sanmina-SCI, Sun Microsystems, eBay, Yahoo!, and Google.
- we estimate that all companies founded by immigrants from 1995 to 2005 produced $52 billion in sales and employed 450,000 workers in 2005,�

Looks like it is mistake. Is it your second FP appt? It is possible that they already have FP with them and I 140 and I 485 both approved on the same date - within an hour difference.

The Director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Emilio Gonzalez, stated in an interview with the New York Times that he is recommending a significant increase in USCIS fees to cover the cost of processing applications. While the article specifically mentions naturalization applications, it does not clearly limit the recommended increase only to this application. It is possible, therefore, that many applications and petitions processed by the USCIS could be affected by his recommendation.

we can pay more fees if they can process our cases fast.:) :) :)

In September 2001, I came here on visitor visa with my mother and resided here till today (I was 15). I went through 4 yrs of high school, got my GED followed by an associate degree from community college and now I'm an undergrad student pursuing my bachelor degree; will graduate in a year. Meanwhile, my mother became a U.S. citizen through marriage when I was a sophomore in college, simultaneously my I-130 was approved and now waiting for the visa availability; the priority date: Dec 08, 2006, F1.
Problem is that I turned 21 on October 13, 2006 right passed the time criterion for the Child Status Protection Act which technically makes me "aged-out" by about 2 months (filing date being DEC06), so I think that I am not be qualified as an immediate relative.
Currently, the visa availability date is at 15FEB06 which is getting close to DEC06.
Few months ago, I received a letter from NVC requesting DS-3032 and I-864 forms which I've filled out and sent to them but I regarded the fact that I live in the United States on an overstayed visa!!! I should have sent them a notice to adjust my status instead of paying the $70 and $400 fees that I already paid, apparently. I am not leaving the country to interview overseas with the NVC because that would put me in a 10 year ban obviously, I also do not understand how I can adjust my status with the USCIS once the priority date becomes current when I do not have a status as of now! So, I might've done all these for nothing. I've talked to some lawyers on the phone but they have completely shut my hopes down (maybe because I haven't paid them?). I do not have the money to pay for an expensive lawyer because all my funds can barely afford my college.
On top of everything, DREAM act just got rejected from the congress as I'm getting ready to graduate from college. I have no idea what to do.
With my college degree and knowledge that I have acquired over the years, I believe that I am an inevitable asset to this country but I am deeply saddened by the fact that American Dream is not becoming a reality for me. I know I can do more for the world but I'm immobilized by the system which I don't see any loopholes to at this point. I understand the views of the Republicans but I really wish that they can give one more look at the DREAM act. We do not intentionally break the law. I would actually be a law-abiding and a model citizen if I ever become one.
Anyhow, I lost all my hopes and dream in this country at this point in time, that I think the only/best way is to move back to where I am from immediately upon graduation.
If there is any hope, your help/advice/inputs will be greatly appreciated!

If both I-94s belong to the same person then I think it is normal.
I entered country last time in 2005. After that I have my H1 renewed twice both times I-94 number stayed the same. Same also goes for my wife. The renewed I-94 always carries the same number as the one you got while entering the country.

I'd like to see expert/legal opinion, but from my limited understanding -
if you continue to maintain the same address, work at the same company, the official looking at your I-485 application would have no reason to assume anything had changed.
And so you should get your application approved when your PD is current.
However, in case the officer decides to verify, he could send a RFE for Employment Verification Letter. At that time, it could potentially cause problems.. Will your company send a letter that yes you are still working there and performing the same duties as mentioned in your application? Or will they mention that your job profile has changed?
These questions are moot if you dont get a RFE and I would think chances of RFE are low if you dont change your address.
Others, please chime in...
