Hi:
I am currently using EAD. My I-485 is pending status. I am planning to get married in India soon. She will be in India as I can not bring her on H4 and student visa is difficult. So dilemma is about 485 name addition. Can I add spouse's name in I-485 application whenever Priority Date is current?
If yes, then how does it work? I mean is it possible at all?
It is going to be difficult. She has to come in on some kind of dual-intent visa. She could come in on a student visa but would be difficult to prove that she does not intend to immigrate in the interview if they find out about your I-485. Alternatively, you would have to get a H1 and she would have to come in on a H4.
This is not legal advice, please consult a lawyer for your specific case.

My husband is the primary and got his GC in July last year, under EB2. Upon suggestion, from my lawyer, I have made 1 info pass appointment (Oct 07) and raised 4 service tickets till now. All say they are processing.
My priority date is Aug 05. Now that the priority dates have moved. I have put one more service ticket but do not know what will happen. Upon again contacting my lawyer, suggested me to contact Congressman / Senator.
Anyone in the same pool ? Any suggestions ? I am in Pennsylvania state (Chester County).
Thanks.

Labor/I-140/485/EB3 approved with PD of 2003. THe approved Labor had criteria that meets EB2 so trying to apply new I-140 in EB2 with the same labor. All is well except, lawyer concerned about the degree mentioned in labor is "computer science or equivalent" and I have "electronics engineering". One education evaluator said my degree is equivalent to electrical engineering which I disagree. I believe it is equivalent to Computer science. So two questions:
1. In the worst case of denial of new I-140 AND revoking of an approved I-140 and denial of I-485 due to degree issue, can I
continue to stay and work in US for the next 3 years of an approved H1B extension.
If you get the extension before the I-140 denial, you can continue. Otherwise no
2. WHat are the chances of EB2 approval and conversion based on the slight difference in the degree above? How do I improve, if chances of success are bleak
50:50. There is nothing you can do as USCIS increased the scrutiny for EB2. There is a chance that you are inviting the devil.
Appreciate advice.

My company had promised that they would start my GC processing once I complete a year which was in March 2009. Since then they have been going back and forth with the lawyers writing the job description to post the job ad.
The lawyer tells us that the department of labour has tightened up the process and so the job description needs to be very generic with minimum number of years of experience(2 for a sr. software engineer) and this has caused a lot of controversy that this will cause an audit and so on and forth.
I am sure there are many other people out there who are applying even now. I do not know if its the lawyer or the company that is causing an issue here.
My only option would be to search for another job who will do my GC. But i dont have so much time left for all that.
What can i do?
Hey - I called up your lawyer and company - they both agree that you are not worth to file for GC

Hi guys
thanks for the info. Since he got I 485 approved the GC status already began for him or only on receipt of GC his Green card status begins.
Which is correct? Any help.

Computer would not let officer open SR if your application is well within processing time. So I am not sure, how your SR was opened. Wait for your time to come and your GC would be approved.

Hello,
I've been working on EAD for about 4 years now as priority dates are backed up a lot. My I-140 has been approved in 2007 and still waiting on I-485 to get approved. My current employer is not my original sponsor. I changed jobs after the "180 days post I-485 receipt" policy. Now, I'm interested to accept an offer (similar job) in another state. How will this affect my I-485 if I'm changing employers for the 3rd time and this time, at another state?
Thank you very much.
In EAD, there is no restriction on the number of times you can change the job and also in what state you are employed (could be different from the one your labor was filed), provided the new job is in same or similar category.
In your case (moving to a difrerent state), chance of getting RFE for EVL is high. So make sure that the new employer can provide a EVL stating that the new job is in the same or similar category as your old one (for which the labor got approved).
Other than that, you should be fine...
BTW, dont forget to file AR-11 within 10 days of your change of address.

My lawyer sent out the LC Substitution/140/485/EAD on July 2nd and said that all these can be filed concurrently and he wanted to take advantage of the dates being current.
I read in several forums that it's necessary to have the LC substitution stage completed before filing for 140/485. Is this true?
Is it possible that there are more chances of LC substitution denial? If so, what are my options?
Thanks!
PS: This is a genuine LC substitution case!

AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
Senator Sessions cannot leave his hands off of E-Verify. Now in "stealth" mode, Senator Sessions has slyly introduced an E-Verify amendment (SB 1371) during today's full Senate vote on the DHS appropriations bill.
The Sessions amendment calls for a permanent reauthorization of the Basic Pilot/E-Verify program, and mandates its use for all federal contractors and subcontractors - including the verification of all existing employees. This amounts to a massive expansion of a program that is still not ready for prime-time.
We must call our Senators and tell them to oppose this sneak attack by Senator Sessions for the following reasons:
It would impose exorbitant costs on businesses at a time when our economy is most vulnerable:
An economic analysis commissioned by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
concluded that the net societal costs of the program would be $10 billion a year
� a cost that would be felt disproportionately by small businesses. It would make Basic Pilot/E-Verify permanent without addressing its well documented database inaccuracies:
A 2007 independent evaluation of the program commissioned by DHS found that
the Basic Pilot/E-Verify database �is still not sufficiently up to date� to meet
the requirements for �accurate verification.�
SSA has estimated that if Basic Pilot/E-Verify were to become mandatory and
the databases were not improved, SSA database errors alone could result in 3.6
million workers a year being misidentified as not authorized for employment.
This would result in 6 out of every 100 workers having to visit an SSA office to
correct their records or lose their job.
It would force workers and businesses to pay a high price for Basic Pilot/E-Verify's inaccuracies:
Queries submitted to Basic Pilot/E-Verify by Intel Corporation in 2008 resulted
in nearly 13 percent of all workers being initially flagged as unauthorized for
employment. All of these workers were cleared by Basic Pilot/E-Verify as
work-authorized, but only after �significant investment of time and money�
and �lost productivity.�We urge all AILA members to call their Congressman today and oppose the Sessions amendment (SB 1371). Don't let Senator Session's stealth tactics create a nationwide crisis for employers!

They will go to ur michigan address i guess.
Online u can change the address for each receipt number of ead ,485 and ap using ar-11 form online link. or u can also call custom rep also to make sure it is reflected.FP notice they will send a copy to ur lawyer .So ask him to let you know once he gets it. sending ar-11 form itself does not change the address against the recipt numbers.

Hi-
I am applying for my EAD/AP renewal. The received date on my I-485 notice is Aug 2007. According to USCIS, if you filed after July 30 2007, you are not required to include a Fee.
I am looking at my receipt notices and I feel like I payed under the old fee structure and should include the fee. Here are the amounts
I-485 : $395.00
I-765 : $180.00
I-131: $170.00
Can someone please advice if I need to include the fee for AP and EAD renewal.
Thanks
I think it is Aug 17th or afterwards and in new fee structure you do not have to pay for the renewal.

I had my Labor go through without any issues. I haven't yet applied for 140.
what would happen if I apply for F-1 visa to pursue my studies as full time student since F-1 is a non-immigrant visa and I have cleared my labor.
I know I can't proceed with 140 since its a petition for immigrant status and my F-1 will be rejected. My question is does labor certification also affects F-1 visa application?
Thanks in advance
My wife switched from h4 to f1 status. you can do the same and status studies, assuming you have valid status/visa right now. Later you can get visa stamped.
H visa is dual intent, and f is non-immigration. Since you already have h visa it will not be a trouble. This is from my experience and some of my friends.
good luck .

Thanks for letting me know. I think paskal is in India now. Anyways we had a very small window of time to seek someone quickly. I have found one member willing to reveal his name and give the interview. The information is forwarded to the reporter. The reporter has to quickly do a story so that should be all for now. In case the reporter needs any more members, I will open this thread. Otherwise the thread will remain closed.
Thanks everyone.
Thanks everyone.
