Done! Below is my message.
I am a high tech immigrant struck in backlog for about ten years now. Imagine the agony of having to do a narrowly specified set of tasks for ten years when your peers have gone on become vice presidents! I hope the administration does work on clearing off green card back logs for hitech immigrants and help them help America by creating new enterprises and jobs.

Did you see Oct 9th as LUD on your case? We are trying to figure out if LUD is giving any indication towards when USCIS issues the approval.
NO LUD AS YET
STILL SAYS 8/31/2007 AS LAST UPDATE

Thanks.

Wow..I am so proud of this inidan dude, he seems to be very close to Mr. President. Can you please ask this Indian guy to talk to President for our GC issue?
Thanks
MC
Why should he?
What are you going to give him in return/what is he going to get by helping us?
We need to first learn to help ourselves.

Just A thought.
It Looks somebody pointed out earlier that Adjudicator need to see Currentness of FBI background check, and for 2004/05 cases it was stale data, hence they reordered the Check. While for 2006, Background check might be current.
So say during September, 2008 VISA Bulletin they move Priority date to 2007, we'll see Lots if 2007 cases Approved.
then why is'nt NSC approving 2006 cases at the rate at which TSC is?
Its not just what year petitions are getting approvals, the two service centers are taking different approaches. That makes a mockery of the visa bulletin. Its almost NSC giving the middle finger to DOS saying, we dont care where you move dates, we'll approve whatever petitions we wnat, at whatever rate we want.

AJ,
Thanks for the offer. I am not sure if I have permission to shoot any thing on a federal govt agency premises, but will do my best. My sources tell me that some main stream media will cover it. For us to be able to make a good impact, we need to have people there.
As USCIS announced about forwarding Flowers to Hospitals , some one can go to those hospitals and cover that.

Thanks for your reply. Since I won't be working for Company A, so I have to tell them the situation. If Company A is willing to keep my H1B with them active, until Company B gets my H1B approved, you think that will be OK for me?
I am not sure, I can use a H1B transfer, from Company A to Company B, since I never work for Company A, so I do not have a pay check from Company A. Would this be an obstacle for me to transfer my H1B from Company A to B?
I appreciate your help!
I dont think the H1B from company A and company B are related. Since you are on OPT which is a valid status, you may not need the H1B from company A. Moreover there is nothing called transfer. Every time its new H1B only you wont be calculated against the cap if you are already in H1B.
Also you dont need to join the company A and technically they can have the H1 valid and need not cancel it. Means you can have multiple H1 valid at the same time. But there are restrictions how many pay roll can run.
Simply, just leave the company A's H1 intact. Once your Company B is approved you can tell them or work for one month and leave company A.

I think as long as she is pending AOS status, she should be fine. But I don't think H4 will be eligible for FAFSA. But if you filed tax jointly and your income is good then she will not get FAFSA funding, HOWEVER, she will get FAFSA loan (subsidized and unsubsidized). Subsidized loan is loan you don't pay interest until you graduate.
During FAFSA application, you need to submit I-94 and it will verify your status I believe. I have seen people getting FAFSA approval for pending AOS without any problem.
I hope this helps. You can get more information from the college she is applying for.

NRE accounts--> interest earned is not taxable in India but has to be reported in your 1040 here.
NRO accuont--> earns very high interest rates (was 11%) just a few months ago. There will be TDS but you can file an income tax return and claim the amount that they deducted above what you would be taxed.
For eg:- if your total interest earned is 100,000 they would withhold upto 30% of it (may be lesser depending upon your situation). When you file your returns your total income is only 100,000 which is below the taxable limits and therefor you will be returned all that was witheld. Only those with interests >180,000 per anum will really lose money.
Some people split accounts and try to hide interest income. This is not advisable if you ever want to repatriate the interest income. Once you have payed required taxes on the interest you can repatriate any amount of interest income to the US. Many people use this as a source of regular income.

The rule is if company B files a Labor 365 days before your H expiration then that H could be extended. However L visa probably doesn't have a specified time limit like 6 yrs. So theoretically you could let companyB file Perm and I-140 for you and keep working in Company A till your Priority date become current and you get EAD.
But the best practical option is to jump to Company B via H1 and let them file the Labor and you continue extending the H1 as I'm doing. Once EAD comes you could trash the H1 or even transfer that H1 to a 3rd company.
The choice is yours !
Thanks again guys.
Well company A can file my GC but the issue is that the financial books of company A are not clear right now. Hence there are chances I-140 will be refused even if I file on EB1.
Company B is willing to take me but the issue is how do I join B. The options which I see are that B files my GC under EB2 or EB3 and I continue to work with company A till then. But then in EB2/EB3 the processing will take years till I get my EAD and join company B.

485 not yet filed
Second (approved labor from different company):
labor date: EB3-Apr-2004 and labor approved
140 filed: July 13 2007 - case is pending as of now
485 filed: July 13 2007 - case is pending as of now
I dont know what to do with my original green card one (whether to file one more 485 or not)
Gurus help me with your knowlege which option i have to choose
1. withdraw the 485 (filed with substituion labor) and file new 485 with the original one
2. file one more 485
3. wait for the substituion labor 140 to be approved and transfer priority date and category?
:confused:
I guess u could interfile with the first 140

@ Meet
You will not get new H1. Your remaining time on H1 will be extended once you decide to do COS from H4 to H1. If you were out of country for one full year ony then you will get NEW H1 and then the new fee hike applies to you.
But if you were not out of country for one year then you will get the same H1 extended for the remainder period (6 years minus what ever you have used so far). The new fee hike applies to new H1 applications only.
Hope that helps.
Do we need to apply H4 to H1 thru the same original company to reinstate the old H1.
Please let me know.

Yes i did. It was the same way for my dad when i was on H-1B.
I sent him the copies of my 140, 485, and EAD and also an employment letter from my new employer , as i have used AC-21.
He was asked what i am doing and he told them i am working for XYX company and has also filed his GC. The office said all the best to him and granted my dad a 10 year multiple visa. If you have any questions, please send me a message.
I hope this helps.

My greencard application has stuck in name checks for 3 years. I recently filed a Writ of Mandamus. Before going to court, U.S. Attorneys filed to dismiss my case, citing that the adjustment of status is discretionary and the FBI can take as long as they want to do background checks.
I am hesitating whether to go ahead with a court hearing. In addition, I am not happy with my current lawyer.
Can someone recommend a good lawyer to me? Many thanks!
