None of the responses can help you unless you state your state. Believe me, I have lived in 7 states till now. I went to the dmv in 4 of them.
I went for Driver licence renewal.I have I797 H1B notice of approval for 2 more years.But I don't have it stamped in passport.So when they see it,they said they won't consider it as visa on passport is not valid and expired.Though I am not using ,I have valid EAD card also.So When I shown it ,they renewd my licence.Now I am thinking,is it ok If I use my EAD card for licence renewal as I am not using EAD status now.I want to be on H1B only.I don't want to use EAD now. can anybody tell me will it be alright to use EAD?Does it effect anywhere in my status?
Please respond.

Folks, please help:
I had submitted both parents' affidavit along with my 485. Now i got RFE with only 3 weeks to reply. My name and DOB is diff in my BC so it's of no use and they won't issue NABC. I recvd BC from consulate and i am going to submit it along with a copy of my 10th grade leaving cert.
My questions are:
1. Can USCIS deny 485 solely due to lack of BC/NABC ? if yes then What are the chances of denial ?
2. If the officer does not think that consulate BC is enough, will they deny 485 or issue another RFE?
3. Do you know anyone whose 485 was denied simply for no BC/NABC reason?
4. My 485 was (wrongfully) denied few months ago when my ex revoked the approved I-140, could this affect the future processing of the case -vely (i hope not) ?
Thanks in advance.
I can not say on on Q1 or Q3 but for Q2, I am told by attorney USCIS does not entertain BC from consulate or BC issued by school board.

Ragz,
I have used a similar copy myself when meeting the staff of Congressman Michael Fitzpatric, with great results. However we were told that we were waiting for the lobby firms to give us their input. My guess was, if they are going to provide some really good insight, then we might as well wait a little and add that b4 meeting the Congressmen/Senators.
If you guys are decided on the presentation, then i can go ahead and book the appointment.
Check your private message too!

Hello
MY new 140 approved with PERM. Yet to see the approval but I hope they classified me in Eb2 and placed my old PD.please see my signature for the details
I have the following questions
1. What are the different things one can do to speed up the interfile process
2. Do we need to go through medicals again, last done in 2007?
3. Do we need to go through FBI clearance, last done in late 2007?
Asking Question #2 and #3 because it costs money and I have to spend from own pocket, employer not covering from 140 onwards
Any experience, thoughts, inputs are appreciated
Thank you

My preference was between 3 and 4. But 4 gives me the satisfaction of (or impression of) being at the corner looking into the field. The depth suggested by the rail going off to the right is good, too.
You have some nice clouds to file away for the next time you need to punch up a dull sky.

They are still good but they are direct to IO desks at NSC. I did not want to start barrage of calls to them. What I can do is I can PM you the numbers. You had been a contributing member and I would happy to tell you what I know. But please exercise your judgement....
You had some numbers there, are they not good anymore?

There are many applicants who are at the 485 stage waiting for years. Some have recieved RFE on their case. The case status says "Case Resumed" once the documents requested are submitted.
It would be nice if we can get a administrative fix to have USCIS update the case status as "Pre-Adjudicated waiting on Visa Availability". This should also trigger them to also issue EAD and AP for longer periods.
Apart from the peace of mind, this would definately help applicants to take some bold steps like buying a house or starting a business and investing, etc. If none of these are in someone's interest, they could atleast get a drivers license that lasts a longer time:)
Yes it is a good idea.

What would happen if my new EB2 application for some reason gets rejected. In that case will that affect my exisiting EB3 485 application in any way?

What are you saying he has no valid visa on his passportm his papers are valid. People who have a valid I-94 and like H1B - Valid i-797 can legally work in US without a valid visa on the passport.
Well getting a transit visa to france depends on the rules the French government has. Ask your travel agent.

I have been getting only 1 year extension after my first 3 years of H1. My I-140 has been approved in My 2nd year of my H1 visa. So it entirely depends on the USCIS discretion.

Both lawyers are right. To get the correct answers you have to be asking correct questions.
If you want to port your priority date to new employer, you have to file PERM and I-140 with new employer. Since you have PERM and I-140 already approved - you can do that.
From the other side, since you already filed your I-485, you don't have to do anything. You don't need your PD ported, just use AC21 and wait for your GC.
The only issue is that you never worked for sponsoring employer, USCIS might want some evidence that you really had/have intent working for him and will demand explanation why you are not working for them and never worked. This issue will disappear if you will refile PERM/I-140 with new employer.

I was told if you have valid stamping you do not need get new stamping even if you changed the employer. All you need is to give the new approval notice at the POE.
am I missing something here.
If one has I-797 notice without new I-94, he/she should get new H1 visa stamp.

All Employment-Based I-485 Inventory pending at the Service Centers as of March 08,2010.

From Murthy Law Firm : U.S. Immigration Law (http://www.murthy.com)
1. USCIS Update on Pending Employment-Based I-485s
�MurthyDotCom
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has updated charts of pending employment-based (EB) adjustment of status (I-485) cases. These charts provide precise details of the numbers of I-485 cases currently filed and pending with the USCIS by year and month of priority date, and country of chargeability. They provide a helpful picture of the pending demand for the limited immigrant visa numbers in each EB category. They also can be compared to earlier charts to gain insights into visa number usage.
�MurthyDotCom
Background on USCIS Charts on EB I-485s
�MurthyDotCom
The USCIS started providing the pending EB I-485 charts after the overhaul of the USCIS WebSite. The first set of these charts was reported to MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers in our article, USCIS Shares Useful Info in Pending I-485 Charts (30.Oct.2009). As before, there are six separate charts with details of pending EB I-485 cases.
�MurthyDotCom
Current USCIS I-485 Charts and Usage of Immigrant Visas
�MurthyDotCom
The most recent charts (PDF 450KB), with data as of March 8, 2010, are available on the USCIS WebSite. The real insight that can be gleaned from these charts relates to the demand for immigrant visa numbers. In order for an I-485 to be approved, and for an applicant to become a permanent resident, there must be an immigrant visa number available. The immigrant visa numbers represent the annual limit on the number of foreign nationals permitted to become U.S. permanent residents in each fiscal year.
�MurthyDotCom
Visa number availability is reflected in the U.S. Department of State (DOS) Visa Bulletin issued each month. The Visa Bulletin cutoff dates are established by the DOS based upon estimates of demand for immigrant visa numbers.
�MurthyDotCom
The USCIS charts provide a picture of that demand and, for some, a clearer explanation of why the cutoff dates in the Visa Bulletin move so slowly or stagnate. MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers who are unfamiliar with the concept of priority dates, visa numbers, and the Visa Bulletin may find some of the articles on these topics helpful. They are posted regularly on MurthyDotCom, and available by using our search feature.
�MurthyDotCom
EB2 Analysis and Backlogs for India and China
�MurthyDotCom
In the EB2 category, historically, only India and China regularly experience cutoff dates in the Visa Bulletin. This is reflected in the volume of pending cases in EB2 for all countries other than India and China. There are enough visa numbers available to meet demand and, thus, there is not a large volume of pending cases. These cases can be routinely processed without delays due to visa number issues. Thus, there are only slightly more than 3,300 EB2 I-485s from countries other than India, China, Mexico, and the Philippines. Most of these cases have priority dates between 2005 to 2010.
�MurthyDotCom
This contrasts sharply with the volume of cases pending in EB2 for nationals of India and China. China has 16,630 pending EB2 cases, most having priority dates between 2005 and 2007. India has more than twice as many as China, with slightly more than 39,000 cases pending. Of these, most have priority dates that fall between 2005 and 2007.
�MurthyDotCom
When the current pending cases for EB2 India are compared to the chart provided in our October 2009 article, there is a noticeable change. The older charts show more than 6,000 pending EB2 India cases with priority dates in 2004. The newer charts reflect only about 300 such cases, and fewer than 300 with priority dates of earlier than 2004.
�MurthyDotCom
Thousands of LC Filings in March 2005
The Visa Bulletin cutoff date for EB2 India has been stagnant for four months as of this writing, with a cutoff date of February 1, 2005. The likelihood of forward movement increases, as the cases with earlier priority dates are processed to completion. However, one important reason for the stagnation in February becomes evident when reviewing the number of pending cases with a March 2005 priority date. The chart reflects more than 3,000 cases pending in EB2 India, with a March 2005 priority date. This is due to a large volume of labor certification cases filed prior to the shift to the mandatory PERM process in labor certification procedures, which occurred at the end of March 2005.
�MurthyDotCom
EB3 Analysis and Maximum Pending EB3s for Indians
�MurthyDotCom
The EB3 category has a demand for visa numbers that exceeds the supply for all countries of chargeability. The USCIS reports that, as of March 8, 2010, there were almost 136,000 pending EB3 I-485s. The vast majority - almost 60,000 - were filed by Indian nationals.
�MurthyDotCom
There continues to be a large number of EB3 cases with priority dates as early as 2001 and 2002. There are even larger numbers of pending cases with priority dates between 2003 and 2007. When compared to the charts from our October 2009 article, there is a noticeable reduction - over 5,000 - in the number of cases with 2001 priority dates.
�MurthyDotCom
Conclusion
�MurthyDotCom
These USCIS charts provide, for some, a rather grim picture of the wait time for visa numbers in their categories. For others, it may offer some hope that they are likely to be next in line. We believe that it is helpful to have a realistic picture and an understanding of why certain cases must wait for years for the I-485 approval under the current system. We appreciate the willingness of the USCIS to share these helpful updates so that individuals and their families can plan their lives.
