To all IV members and the core team:
Thanks a bunch for mobilizing members to get their voices heard - first at the historic San Jose rally of high-skilled legal immigrants, and now with this monumental effort in DC on September 18th.
Thanks to all your efforts (myself included), we were able to file for Adjustment of Status (AOS), EAD and AP in July, and had the extension till August 17th to file it for those of us who couldn't do it sooner.
Thanks also to the lawmaker(s), and others who voiced their opinions and drew attention to the plight of highly educated, skilled, tax-paying, brilliant, and entrepreneurial folks, waiting for their GCs for as long as a decade.
We finally received our EADs yesterday, and our APs have been approved (awaiting notices).
The road from here to finally becoming permanent residents and perhaps eventually citizens of this great country (for those of us who wish to) is a long, winding one, full of tricky situations, significant risks, and the inevitable delays by the agencies concerned.
We all need to collectively make our voices heard, tell the lawmakers, the media, and the world about our lives that we continue living in limbo, and will be forced to do so for a long long time if we don't act.
I WILL ENTHUSIASTICALLY JOIN THE DC RALLY NEXT WEEK.

Hi,
I got an email from a reporter at the Seattle Business Magazine who is writing an article on the lack of Immigration reform in the United States and how that is adversely affecting innovation and job creation.
The magazine in question is definitely not a major publication, however I think its important to highlight our case wherever possible.
Is there a 'Media Kit' on the lines of "meet your lawmaker kit' ? I looked at the "contact media" link on the home page but could not find anything.
I would be grateful if someone can point me to the relevant material, or if someone is willing to share their experience in talking to the media.
Thanks

Is it permitted to enter the US on a tourist visa and while you are here, can you start working since H1B approval has been received? The reason I ask is that my some time is needed to set up an apartment, get SSN etc. and it would be easier to come a little early while H1B is being processed. Can you get the H1B stamped in the passport later in Canada? Thanks in advance!

You are paroled into US until Dec 05, 2009. But if you want to travel outside US after July 29, you better apply for AP now.
Hi Friends,
I am confused with AP expiration date.
The printed exiration date is :July 29, 2009
But my latest paroled stamp on AP it is : Dec 05, 2009.
Which date should i follow to renew my AP?
thanks

Hello I recently purchased a Nikon D70 to use for concert photography. I was using a Sony Mavica CD-250 but it wasn't cutting it for the larger shows where no flash could be used. I just did my first show where flash could not be used and the pictures came out so-so. I have 2 lenses a Nikkor AF 28-80mm and a Nikkor AF 70-300mm. I have full access to photo pits in front of the stage and am wondering what the best settings are for the D70 in these conditions to ensure at least some of the photos will come out decent.
All the photos I have taken can be found here:

any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is no need to withdraw your 485. But why do you need 2 485's. It just shuts out visas for others. You can continue on H1b with your current employer and join in EAD with the other.
Not an attorney , please validate with one
Under current USCIS processing two 485s do not waste visa numbers (as visa numbers are only assigned at the time of approval). When petition is approved, the other one will be automatically denied/withdrawn, or USCIS will send an RFE just around approval time, asking for one of the two apps to be withdrawn.

There are some website that help you to prepare tax return, for example Finalysis.com, myIBSN.com.
These guys are filing 2106 form for claiming employee job expenses and Misc deductions and getting more refund.
In my case my offshore company (in India) has office in NY/NJ and I am working in Georgia state and for whole year 2007 i was working in Georgia state and I had never been to NY/NJ.
In this scenario can i claim for rent/meals/commutation/laundry?
There are many applicants filing through these tax preparer's approx 2,50,000 are these agencies reliable?
- Thanks for your help

If you don't get your Cards in a reasonable timeframe, I suggest you take an appointment with your local USCIS office using infopass, and take a copy of this ruling to show them. I expect them to act promptly after seeing that you are considering suing them for the delay.

Gifts & Items Sent to the White House
Items sent to the White House often experience a significant delivery delay and can be irreparably harmed due to the security screening process. Therefore, please do not send items of personal importance, such as family photographs, because items may be unable to be returned. We also request that gifts of a consumable nature, such as food, flowers, and other perishable items, not be sent to the White House due to the security screening process. While the President and Mrs. Bush and Vice President and Mrs. Cheney appreciate your thoughtfulness, they request that you look instead to your local community for opportunities to assist your neighbors in need.

hi, My Lawyer says that texas SWA gave him a figure of $ 105,000 annual salary as a prevailing wage for 5 years experience java,j2ee guy. After discussing with people who have already filed in EB2 i get the feeling that this is too much amount and the wage requirement is somewhere between 80-85,0000. My lawyer is trying to downgrade me to EB3. I want to contest his claim but I am not sure what mistake he has made. What questions should I ask him to figure it out. Any help would be great.

We recently filed I485 for my K1 wife and got a RFE explaining that the I693 she handed over at the port of entry never made it to CIS. I presume it was lost at some point.
Because we already had the I693 on file due to her entry, we only filed I693A with our I485. However they never got the I693, so the RFE requests a new one from an approved Civil Surgeon.
However.. my wife is lucky enough to have another sealed envelope from her overseas examination with (we believe) her I693 + Xray in it.
Does anyone think I should chance sending this to USCIS ? Or would it be best to just pay for another examination and get a new I693?
One thing that makes me question the wisdom of sending in the overseas package is that the envelope is huge - bigger than 11"x17" at least - so I'm not sure how well it would survive mailing and/or be accepted.

Hello,
Can someone give me a brief idea as to how long it takes for the USCIS to respond to an MTR? I think I read somewhere that they respond within 60 days. Is that accurate? My MTR was filed 2 months back & I have not yet heard back from the USCIS. It was filed at TSC.
Thanks,
MTRs can take months or years. There is no 60-day processing time. The prior poster's answer of a few years is not unusual.

I have got exactly the same RFE.....i am going to send the same documents and hoping that this is enough. There was one question that was bothering me on my i485RFE. It started like this...............
Your FORM I485 Application Must be accompanied with two colored Photographs.................
I am confused if they mean that i should re submit the i485 application or just the letter taht came with it.
i also never got any colored sheet as i have heard most of the people got. Is this normal practise or something i should be conserned about

My PD is 08/04/06, and my AP is expiring on June 2nd, I probably will have to travel sometimes June end. I am in a fix if I should go ahead and apply for Ap now. My PD will be current begining June 1st. I heard it may take 1 week to 60 days to get GC after your date becomes current, Do you guys think it's good idea to just apply for AP just in case?
Thanks

Hi,
I am in desperate need of answer to my question and good thing I found this forum.
I have a boyfriend who was a refugee and so he has a special case green card that doesn't expire. He was 2 yrs. old when he came here but never thought about applying for citizenship. Last year, we decided to go to Philippines this Feb 2011 due to a friend's wedding and vacation. He couldn't apply for passport since he was born in a refugee camp and so he doesn't have a birth certificate. He decided to apply for a I 131 on August. According to the I 797 that he received, received date was Aug. 30, 2010, notice date was Sept. 1, 2010. Since we were expecting to receive the I 131 before our travel date (feb 4th to be exact), we decided to buy the tickets last month (december). He's been calling USCIS about his status and yet, he got the same response as to what is posted when he checks his status online "accepted" which is not very helpful. He asked the customer service rep if he can expedite it and they said, they can't do anything about it. It's very frustrating that we can't get hold of anyone who's really working on his paper. Then somebody told us to try Infopass. He scheduled it today but the earliest date is on Jan. 21st which is like 2 weeks after our scheduled departure. Will that be enough time for them to process it just in case they will just gonna process it by then?
My other questions are, can Infopass help him with his problem? Can they release his I 131 or refugee travel document by the time of his appointment? According to their processing time, it should take them 3 months and it's been more than 3 months, can we travel without a travel document and without a passport? This is very frustrating and stressful... Your response is very much appreciated..

You can live in US legally beyound your current H1B I-94.
As long as your AOS (I-485) is Pending, Ofcoure u need EAD for work.
Hello Friends,
I have utilized AC-21 and moved onto another employer and I will be using my EAD. I have an I-94, from the I-797 of my previous employer, which expires in May 2008.
The question I have is if we have utilized AC-21 can we still live here in US past the I-94 date? Will the stay be considered legal? I ask because as far as I know when a person is on H1B he can not afford to go past the I-94 validity date, does the same apply with an AOS applicant?
