Hi All
I just saw the USCIS GC approval email notice - EB2-I - Dec 20'th 2005 Priority Date
I have same issue as few others have. I'm not married yet. I have applied for GC and luckily the GC has been approved (when I really don't want it to be approved). ... Trust me I was praying god all the time.
My priority date is EB2-I Dec 20'th 2005 and god knows how they approved it much before every one else. When all others really want their GC's.
There are lots people who are in queue with Jan 2004 and later priority dates and whose cases are still pending... How could they approve my case so soon...
I have scheduled for a travel to India on August 15'th 2008 to get married. I wanted to marry and get my wife to USA. I 'm engaged with girl at India and all set for marriage this month (August 2008).
I believe my H1-B has been automatically canceled on immediate approval of GC.
How do I get my future wife to USA?. What are the options left out to me now?.
Please excuse me if this is a duplicate thread. I'm really in hurry and could not check all threads properly.

Hi Suresh,
I saw a similar post in this forum about someone being single and getting GC approved, at that time lot of users suggested withdrawing the 485 app, if you had withdrawn it then you could have filed it again later.
I personally feel, marriage and life is more important than a plastic card.
Try for h1b or f1 visa, if you had got married before approval atleast you could have tried follow to join.
All the best.

What about H4 spouses or secondary GC applicants who are not working? How will they get DL if the DMV is asking for EVL or pay stubs?
Santa,
Thanks for your response.
Education evaluation was not done for bachelors because the Labor only required masters. My attorney is planning to use 2 years of my experience to compensate for the additional 1 year of bachelors degree
H1Girl,
Thanks for your response.
Even my attorney says the argument of USCIS could be "building blocks" argument i.e. In US, for masters, 4 year bachelors is required. But, I only have a 3 year bachelor degree.
Sounds awesome!!! Do you know of any cases in the past where USCIS has considered experience in lieu of 1 year's education? If so, then you have a good chance to get through. Hope they approve yours sooner! Good luck

lol, i see fantasies are growing. A person may not have mother-in-law at all - why can't he marry to both: daughter and mother?
i guess the formula becomes 0<=x<=20... this is sick...
I beg to differ, he can definitely marry both, mother and daughter, but will end up with atleast one mother-in-law. the grandmother:)
so it should be more like: 1<=x<=20
hope the poor soul isnt reading all this!!!!!

Could you please tell me how is it with the pictures for I-485 ?
Is the photo digital or paper? OR the photo is first digital then you're printing it? Am I correct?
So from my understanding.....you go to Kinkos or CVS( do they know the requeirments of photo if I tell them about immigration photo for Adjustment of status?) .....they make a digital photo of you and then they are printing the digital photo? is this correct?
Please tell me what to do and where to go for I-485 photos.
Thank you in advance so much for your help.

2010 vision, and perception and
Illegals will lobby hard now for discrimination against Z category and come up with amendment, not to allow employers to ask for their status. For sure they will get this one under the protection act of discrimination.
Employers will not be allowed to asked the status. You are supposed to give your Z-plastic card after you accept the offer and the prospective employer accepts you. If he fires you since you are Z-class, then you are eligible to sue the employer for 1 mil $$. These are the amendments that will be passed along with this stuppp...d CIR.
GO ILLEGALLLL is the message for everyone. By the way, dont forget to get your parents / sisters / grand father / etc just few days before this law passes. Throw the passport away and let them claim that they are here for the past few years.
I was thinking how to get a high tec job with Z visa. Because you might need to tell the employer that you are on Z visa. Tech employer might be hesitent to give us job on Z visa.
But you can start a new company and do consulting. You do not need to tell them what status you are in. All they need to know is you are a employee XYZ company.

I tend to agree with your interpretation that "NOT SUBJECT TO PER COUNTRY LIMITATION IF ADDITIONAL VISAS AVAILABLE" refers to those beyond 140K. The language of law is always beautiful, isn't it?:)
Anyhow, I still think it merits a deeper investigation and consultation with attorneys.
INA 202 (a) (5) (A)
EMPLOYMENT-BASED IMMIGRANTS NOT SUBJECT TO PER COUNTRY LIMITATION IF ADDITIONAL VISAS AVAILABLE- If the total number of visas available under paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), or (5) of section 203(b) for a calendar quarter exceeds the number of qualified immigrants who may otherwise be issued such visas, the visas made available under that paragraph shall be issued without regard to the numerical limitation under paragraph (2) of this subsection during the remainder of the calendar quarter.
Please read the above section carefully. The additional visas mentioned above refers to visas in excess of 140k visas set by the annual quota; i.e. it refers to recaptured visa numbers, IMHO.

Thanks beppynyc. Fortunately nothing abt legals in that "warning". Does anyone know when the PACE and the TALENT act come up for debate?
Unfortunately this bill seems to be a total fight between Senate v/s house, Demo v/s Repub, Repub v/s repub. Like Senator Specter said, there is almost No common vision.
Still a little confused about what the actual stance is right now with Sen Frist's bill. Are they going to go ahead with the Frist bill or is the Senate Judiciary committee going to prevail?

Thanks bro for great information.
however, I have some questions. You say that the officer told you that your AP was approved on Oct 1, 2007. Did you see a LUD change that day in your status. If you did, what did it say. I ask because I got a LUD change on our AP on Nov 2 but the message is still the same as it was when i got the receipt notice. No mention of AP approved.
Ans: Yes, I already mentioned that in my write up. First (and only)LUD change happened for me on 10/1*/2007 and that is the approval date as per lady officer in USCIS. During LUD change message content never changed for me and still it is the same which is as under. so currently I have not received physical AP papers yet and on line status still does not show our AP aaproved yet I found our APs are approved during this infopass appointment.
Receipt Number: LIN*******
Application Type: I131, APPLICATION FOR USCIS TRAVEL DOCUMENT
Current Status: Case received and pending.
September 1* we received your application .....
My recetip date is August 14, and NOtice date is Oct 2, 2007. SO the TExas website states 3 months. Is it 3 months after notice date or receipt date.
I have heard people getting their AP without their online status being changed. Is this true. Anyhows, I have yet to go and do my finger prints. It is scheduled for Nov 21. Maybe they need to wait for finger print to before the AP is approved. or is this not the case.
Anyhows, comments are appreciated.
Thanks

I too thought that it could be a hoax call. But When I discussed with my employer and came to know the name of the person who called me is same as that of person who visited our employer 2 months back, then I realized that it is not a hoax call.
But I really don't understand what was the purpose and why I got such call and why he did not show up. Till now there is no communication from the officer.
Do you have this "officer"'s caller id in your phone records ?
In case it is one of your colleagues trying to fool you.

dresses Quotes Ezekiel#39;s Vision of
Thanks for your detailed reply. Till now I have not paid for anything for my GC. I have been here since last 12 yrs. My employer is picking up the cost for PERM and I140, as you said I may pay for premium processing for 140 if I opt it that way. My concern is, he said we need to file I485 also as my old 485 is in old format (paying for EAD renewal and AP), not sure about that.
So we do not need to file a new I485 if EB3's 485 is pending ? After I140 is approved under EB2, we just need to request USCIS to look at this new application with old PD to approve EB3 485 ?
That is right, no need to file I-485 again. The format of I-485 has nothing to do with this. I am assuming he is just trying to make money by doing the additional paper work. A couple of my colleagues got their GCs that way in July and my employer is also in the process of filing my EB-2 I-140 under Premium Processing this week with a request to port my earlier EB-3 PD and a letter to USCIS requesting to adjudicate my pending I-485 under EB-2 preference, once EB-2 I-140 is approved. In my colleague's case, TSC approved both Eb-2 I-140 and pending I-485 (was at TSC as well) concurrently in July.

This thread makes no sense... everyone is out to sell each other out. Why would anyone want to wait. Besides, do you think 100% of applicants are on IV and agree to file late? Utter nonsense... People who have their applications ready should apply on July 1st.:D

Nice coverage by immigration-law on Gandhigiri:-
07/08/2007: Massive Flower Send-In Campaign by Indian Community in Spirit of Mahatma Gandhi's Nonviolent Protest Against the Injustice Involving Visa Bulletin Fiasco
The East Indian community has been engaging in an interesting campaign sending a massive bouque of flowers with a message of protest to the leaders of the USCIS and the State Deparment, including Mr. Emilio Gonzalez, Director of USCIS and Dr. Rice, Secretary of Department of State relating to the ongoing Visa Bulletin commotion. Indians are the primary sources of foreign high-tech workers and the country's much needed sources of brains for the businesses and the employers, and it turns out that the current Visa Bulletin fiasco has hit most them and their U.S. employers. Considering the fact that the Congress sidelined foreign legal workers and brains as a backburner issue in the ill-fated CIR, the current Visa Bulletin fiasco appears to add the heat of outrage to the Congress' unfair and unjust treatment of the legal immigrants by leaders in this country. OUCH!

What if we used so much of our time and energy in finding jobs in India/China and moving back, instead of going after media/govt? :confused:
Some of us have spent $35-40 on sending flowers, if we gave a internet job board that kind of money to send our resumes to prospective employers and headhunters in India, we may have a chance in finding a job in the emerging economy of India/China.. that will be THE biggest impact on US Govt... To add to my opinion, I would like to direct your attention to Microsoft... They didn't waste their resources on fighting the media, govt.. they just moved to Canada.. And believe me, there will be more such instances...
