Are u the primary or dependant. If you are the dependant no issues cool and enjoy time with baby. If you are the primary then no issues till you get the GC. For primary it is not mandatory to work during the time 485 is pending. But once GC is approved then u need to start full time position with the employer.

Take a look at this link. As per this, 2010 is the timeline promised by USCIS to clear all backlogs.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080209/ap_on_go_pr_wh/immigration_backlogs
USCIS has been playing around with the definition of backlog... I believe the recent changes indicate that from now on only approvable cases will be considered a part of backlog. Meaning:
- if your PD is not current, or
- if your namecheck has started and is pending for <180 days
your case does not even count as a backlogged case... When they say they'll clear backlogs by 2010 what they mean is all approvable cases (PD current and Namecheck either clear or 180 days old) will be approved within the published timeframes (12-18 months for I-485).
For people stuck in retrogression such backlog reduction efforts have almost no meaning...

I did it few months back for my wife from CGI SFO. You should be fine. There ia one thing though. The I-693 medical exam needs your wife's passport number. You could do that only after you receive the new passport. May cause some delay.

My advice place the new approval as a bookmark on the current visa page when presenting the passport at the counter. This almost forces them to consider the new approval, also provide a copy of your I-797. Check the date before leaving the counter and politely ask for it to be corrected if wrong.

regular being Perm+140 + 1485...
can we switch to Consular processing after the 140 stage?
my attorney says.. as long as the company can provide a letter stating the "job" will be available after the applicant gets his GC.. its possible to switch to CP...even at the III stage of GC processing.
but then CP can be risky..;-|
Regular processing being what ? AOS ?

Hi Gurus please advice,
My 140 was approved in 2007 ,but today i got email from USCIS ,
Application Type: I140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER
Current Status: Case Transfered to Another Office for Processing
On May 12, 2009, we transferred this case I140 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER to our LINCOLN, NE location for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action. Please follow the instructions provided on the notice. We will notify you by mail when a decision is made. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283 to update your address. You can use our processing dates to estimate when your case may be processed by following the link below. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case by registering in the link below.
Any idea, what would be the possible reason for this? Please advice.
BTW I recently applied for EAD extension.
I suggest you call the number given. Seems to me there was a mistake.
I remember getting a similar email for H1B some 2-3 years back even though my H1 was approved and I already received the I797. No issues though, they just sent another I797. :)
I guess this can happen if their Database was restored to an older backup. So they had to go thru some of the processing again.

Hi All,
I am in tough situation. Hope you can help me. I applied and got OPT card on DEC-2007. I thought I can complete my MASTER's by that time but one of my proff gave me D grade and according to University rules, I cannot graduate if I have D grade in Graduating Semester(Even though I have 3.09 GPA including that subject). Right now I enrolled in an online course and I will graduating in MAY2008, at the same time I am in Consultancy who are applying for my H1. They don't have any idea about my Case and are really confused when I gave the Graduation status letter that was issued by our University.
This is the matter that I have in my Graduate Status letter.
"This is to verify that harish is graduate student in good standing, currently working on Master of Science degree with a major in Electrical Engineering. He has successfully completed 30 of the 33 required hours of enrollment on his graduate plan of study, and is currently enrolled in the remaining three hours. He has passed his exit examination, and has submitted his application for the degree for the spring semester of 2008. Provided that he successfully completes his final enrollment, he would be awarded his degree. Spring 2008 degrees will be officially conferred on May 26th, 2008. Diplomas and official transcripts that display spring awards will become available approximately the third week of July, 2008"
Is this enough to apply for H1 in Master's Quota? if not what is the right way to apply and get H1 safely. I am planning to apply H1 with Bachelors even to be on safe side but we all know the chance of getting H1 with Bachelors is very less.
Please help me what to do with this situation and having letter from the university.
no. until you complete all the requirements technicaly you have not completed your masters and cant use the masters quota.

What I have mostly heard is that people in consulting jobs are the ones who are having issues at POEs and not the ones in permanent/full-time positions...I am not making a statement here but saying this is what I heard and read.

All,
I sent out my application to USCIS last week and while talking to a friend I realized that I had not filled the Item
"If your native alphabet is in other than Roman letters, write your name in your native alphabet below:"
I neither filled it with my native alphabet nor filled it with a "N/A" Even my lawyer has not detected this.
Is this going to be an issue? What will the USCIS do about it? Since I still have time does it make sense to send a revised form? Is some one out there who have done this?
Please let me know
Thanks
-Sri

I am not sure I understand. My wife resides in Mumbai. She had her h1 stamped there some time back around 5 years. That h1 she used and is gone now. Now she applied for h1 in fresh qupta since she was out of us for more than one year. Right now so where should we go for stamping. Shes in us with me on h4. Can we go to canada?
Yes, you can go to canada for visa stamping. Note however that the canadian US consulate might require "security clearance" and then your wife will be stuck in canada, typically for months. Although chances are slim, such events do happen, and therefore it is advisable to go to the home country (non-home country consulates issue 221(g) more frequently) or at least to a place where your wife can afford to stay for months.

Thank you all for your valuable input. I have a follow up question :
Will I be breaking any laws if I just do voluntary marketing and promotional work for my company in India.
Here is the situation :
My clients will be in USA and they will be paying my company in India. I will be on the board of the company , and will be doing voluntary marketing and promotional work for the company while residing in USA.
Thank you for your time.
--On a lighter note. Let me handle your finances in India. You can work here on H1B.

If you think to consider option 4th
As per AC-21 you can port to self employment. Creating a website, a business plan, can be done within few days and if you can prove that you were working on self employment then i think you should be okay. Ac-21 does mention they need same or similar job requirement and wages won't be a question.
Let me know if you wish to try out this option. I can give you more suggestion. However i am not sure whether this will work or not.
Maybe you can try telling the truth and see whether you can come out of this.

Thanks a million MatsP. Here's proof of what I wrote about still learning about this camera after 4 years: I'd never come across EXIF before and after searching through the camera manual I figured I probably didn't have it. Just in case, though, I rumaged around in Irfan and Picture Window Pro and found that all that EXIF information is there after all and I never knew it. I will now take a photo at what I have calculated is the 50mm standard equiv focal length and then check the EXIF to see how close it is.
So, I'm really grateful for your drawing that to my attention. By the way, Farmborough - brings back memories of cycling from the RAE YMCA through to NGTE each day some 25 years ago. I know the YMCA's not there any more and I'm sure the RAE and NGTE have undergone many changes of name since then.
Thanks again
Martin

the main grey area for n2b is --
when he used ac21, if he had done h1 trnasfer and started work after getting h1 receipt, then there is NO qn at all that he is OK. he can work at new plc, his GC keeps going fine.
but in his case, he jumped to EAD (lost his nonimmigrant status temporarily) and is trying to jump back to H1 status.
im not sure but i think u shud be OK.
- in one of rajiv khannas free conf call. one person had used ead/ac21 and had received "intent to deny 485". he was asking rajiv what shall i do if it gets denied?.
rajiv said, u can fight ur denial for sure, but immediately ask ur company to tranfer ur h1 based on reason that u have an approved 140. and once u get recept u can continue to work and stay here and fight the denial if it happens.

Ouch, that hurt.
We had an attorney and she did not prepare us for what to expect. However, I should have researched it and am now in a bind.
Thanks for the advice.
Come on.
Do not expect attorney to tell you to renew your passport.
Dumb -- Dumber -- Dumbest!
