Can we go after State dept to have them make an administrative fix to publish 2 sets of Visa dates, one for Visa posts and one for USCIS. CIS Dates to reflect their processing length and allow for an early AOS application..
Just thought.. Suggestions are welcome.
Visa Bulletin for AOS and CP are two different HTML pages already :D. Your idea will not fly. BTW, Update your IV tracker

The first I -797 notice that I got, states that they received my I-485 application on July 16, 2007. On the website for USCIS status update, it states that they received my application on September 8, 2007.
According to my understanding, one does not have to submit the $340 application fee for a work permit if they received the notice AFTER July 30, 2007. This is where it gets confusing.
Here's the problem...if they say on my paper notice that they received the application on July 16, 2007, then I would have to pay the $340.00 - correct?
But if the website states that they received it on September 8, 2007, then I would not have to pay the fee.
I need a job, plain and simple. I have been in this country for 6 years and have not had a single paycheck. I get room and board for taking care of an elderly disabled person and that's it. Any money I do get is from the kindness of friends and family or maybe babysitting for a friend etc.
I cannot afford the fee, but I don't want to take the time to fill out and submit the application if I have to pay.
How do I determine which notice to follow? Should I assume I have to pay the $340 and try to do so by borrowing the money from someone and if it wasn't necessary will they give it back? Or do I just go ahead and submit the application without the money and hope it gets approved? Does a work permit usually get approved or am I wasting my time?
If it is approved, do I get a social security number or what? I can't open a bank account nor change my driver's license without a social security number so I'm feeling really stuck.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
My parents' and 2 brothers' B2 visas got rejected yesterday. The VO didn't state the refusal reason. He didn't stamp anything on their passports. I got my GC through asylum, and will get married in Nov. 2009. I supplied a formal letter from my pastor about the wedding that it's real. And my parents stated that they are not bringing my youngest brother to the US because he has school. During the interview, the VO asked them about me. He knew that I got my GC through asylum. He asked if I work or go to school. My parents answered honestly that I'm currently working to support myself.
My parents didn't show their bank account, certificate of properties and business because the VO didn't ask for it. Should they show them to VO eventhough he didn't ask to see it?
Now, we're preparing to apply B2 visa for a second time. Here are my questions:
1. When do you think they should apply for the visas again?
2. What can I do to support the fact that they will definitely go back to their country? Should we write a letter stating the reasons why they won't immigrate to US?
3. My parents are taking care of my elderly grandfather, 80 years old. Should they state this for a reason they'll come back, and also bring his photo?
4. Will they get a better chance if they leave all of my 3 younger brothers at home?
Help...help....please...I really want them to attend my wedding.
Thanks a bunch for all of your advise!

Does anybody have idea or experience how long it takes for USCIS to make desicion about I-485 expedition (pending for 2.8 years now)?
My hospital sent expedition request to TSC about 3 months ago, there is no replay yet.
I'll appreciate any advice/information.

Hello friends,
I filed for I-485 in mid-June 2007 but never received the receipt notice
(due to the issue described in this thread: http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=11788&highlight=undeliverable).
After months of calling USCIS (probably called at least 10-15 times over past 6 months) and having the lawyer send a written letter, I still did not receive the receipt notice as the customer service reps kept telling me that USCIS doesn't send a duplicate receipt notice.
When I saw that one of my friends who had the same issue received a "Replacement Receipt Notice" after calling them numerous times, I decided to call them again. I was able to convince one of the reps to put in a service request requesting "resend whatever was returned to USCIS as undeliverable".
I finally received a letter from USCIS that they will resend the receipt notice but it has been a few weeks since then and I still have not received the promised receipt notice.
Now I need to file for EAD ASAP but it requires you to attach the receipt notice (Notice of Action I-797C or I-797??).
(lawyer didn't file for EAD with I-485 as I have H1)
So my question is:
Can I use the Biometric appointment notice (ASC Appointment Notice I-797C) instead of I-485 Receipt Notice I-797 to file EAD form I-765 as a proof that I filed I-485 ?
What are the odds that they will send my EAD application back saying that I need the actual I-485 receipt notice?
What are my options?
Thanks in advance!

My wife recently returned from India and at port of entry, the officer incorrectly wrote the paroled until date as Jul 12, 2010 instead of Jul 12, 2011. The date is incorrect on both I-94 and AP.
Will this create any issues and how can this be corrected? Her status is AOS pending, she doesn't have a EAD or H-visa
My wife's AP is valid till Oct 12, 2010. I would appreciate any help
Thanks a lot!

Hello all:
First, I'd like to express my thanks to IV for taking up this cause and doing a wonderful job!
I am currently on an H1-B visa. My 6 year term expires 2/1/09. Current employer is yet to file LCA. Company lawyers have advised that any time I've spent out of the country (past & within next few months) can be used to offset the 1-yr cut off requirement for LCA application. I've been out for a total of 6 weeks to date, but would need more time, looking at an April-end LCA filing. I am now looking to change my job.
-Can I change my status to H4 until I get another job and then file for GC with new employer?
-What are current processing times for H4 if applied from within the US?
-Will I get subjected to H1 quota when changing back from H4 to H1?
-I've been told time spent on H4 is not counted for H1 term and I can apply that time (in addition to my 6 weeks) to the 1-yr limit (LCA should be filed 1 yr before 6-year H1 expiration). Is this true?
-If so, what about the time taken for H4 approval? Can I be in status after resigning & while waiting for H4 approval? Can the time taken for H4 approval be counted towards time not on an H1?
-Has anyone heard of such a situation? What are the chances of getting an extension if H1 ported to new company & LCA filed with them after joining?
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Hi,
I'm on L1B and wife on L2B with EAD and currently working. Both are expiring on Dec 30,2010. I got my H1 with COS, which is effective from Oct 01,2010 for 1 year and my wife got H4, effective from same time. My wife's company is filing for H1 for her and has already applied for LCA. After the LCA, they are not sure whether to apply for COS from L2 to H1 before Oct 1st or if they want to wait till Oct 1st and then file for new H1 with COS from H4 to H1. In the second case, she will not be able to work till she gets her H1.
Also if they file for H1 before Oct 1st with L2 to H1 COS, and if she gets RFE, then not sure whether the whole application is invalid as my wife's status would have changed from L2 to H4 during the course.
Please advice my options. Is it OK if her company file for new H1 with COS from L2 to H1 as soon as her LCA get approved with premium processing? Is it going to be a problem if she gets RFE?
Or is it adviseable to continue to be on L1/L2 till she gets H1? If yes, how can I change my status back to L1 before Oct 1st 2010? Can my company do it me? How long the process will take? I also heard that if I go abroad and come back, I will continue to be on L1. In that case should my wife acccompany me? Do I have to go out and re enter before Oct 1st?
If I change my status back to L1, what will happen to my H1? Will it still be valid? If I'm planning to change to a different company, can it be just transferred to that company and I can work there?
Please help.
Thanks

You don't have to leave the country if your change of status to H1 is approved with a new I-94 attached to it. However, if they approve COS without providing new I-94 then you need to immediately leave the country and re-enter with a new visa stamp.

We don't want to waste our golden years of life waiting for law to change, so we can get EAD or GC to start business here in USA.
I have very good business idea where there is huge potential to make it big. My 6th year H1 expires in Feb 2011. PERM recruitment is going on, but my heart is leaning towards starting the business.
So, we decided to take Entrepreneur Federal Immigration to Canada. We are not yet ready to move to India. My case certainly needs consultation (most likely processing) from Immigration Attorney for Canada.
I was looking at Canadavisa.com, but looking for more options. Can anyone recommend other attorneys?
My business idea doesn't require $500,000 investment to target investor visa in USA.
I was thinking NZ Long Term Business Visa, but first I would like to explore Canada and then consider NZ.
So have you decided Canada or NZ?
What about any countries in Europe. Are they any good ?

I haven't had "any" FP yet, but I have my EAD and my advanced parole for tavel. I also have my H1B current and stamped in my passport.
Last time I got H1B stamped in the embassy, they took my fingerprits, 10 fingers (I also asked if they want the 10 toes :D)
Can that fingerprinting in the embassy be the reason why they haven't sent any notices for my fingerprinting?
Should I be worried?
Can somebody, please, tell me how do you ask for a service request?
Thanks in advance
