I am confused because I read that you have to declare any foreign accounts held.
This applies to US Citizens ...it may apply to you if you already have your green card...but i am not fully sure about this....and i am quite sure it does not apply if you are on a work visa

Does any one know how mant days it takes to get denail notive .I-140 denied on April 22 and says notice mailed but didnt recieve yet .Both emploter and attorney havent recieved any thing yet .Is this Normal ?
Talash, this is not normal. Your notice could have been lost in the mail. Ask your attorney to contact USCIS and explain. Also employers can request a courtesy copy. So also ask your employer to request one. USCIS will not entertain any request from you, since I140 is a employer filed petition.

Thats great! Congrats!! :) Are they charging $350 just for initial checkup or with shots, x-ray??
360 for initial checkup - without xray and shots
1 shot is around 60-90.00 depending on shots.
x-ray - 80.00

Regulations
Please provide an update on the status of regulations regarding the following: AC21, CSPA, T regulations for adjustment of status, EB-5, and religious workers.
Response: The AC21 rule and the EB-5 Special Class rule are both undergoing revision and should be published in the near future.
I wonder what the AC21 rule revision is going to be?
good catch. Yeah that one is a bit scary. I believe they said somewhere that they were going to tighten the AC-21 requirements, and if they do so, then it will also apply retroactively (meaning if htey say salary cannot change by more than 10%, and someone invoked AC-21 to a new job with salary change of 30% that person could potentially be in trouble). I hope they dont do that (I myself have invoked AC-21 with >40% salary change!)

AT the POE the visa officer will know where you are. Apart from regualr list of docs for h4 stamping I dont think any other doc is required! But please verify with your attorney.

house oys. quotes and sayings
I agree that having things work efficiently without bribes is of course the best way.
But faced with a choice between bureaucracy that cannot be solved, or bureacracy that can be solved by paying a few extra bucks, which is better?
About USCIS using PP fees to pay salaries, arent the fees for non-PP also used for the same purpose? the same amount of work goes into it, the same number of people do it, the only difference is that with PP it gets done faster. Tell me, isnt that the definition of a bribe?
Not trying to convince you, but seriously I would like to understand if there is a reason for the extra fee.
Incentives are often given to workers for extra work. In a back-logged situation, people working at USCIS are working more than they used to (when they started these jobs). They may also need extra recources to clear these backlogs. I am guessing the extra money is being used for these expenditures.

You wont be watching the visa bulletin after 12 years as by then you have got you GC or you are back in your home country since your patience would run off by then.
Whatever be the case, its better to forget keeping a track of when the Visa "sad News" Bulletin is going to come and predict.
Good Luck!

IV is the only group that is trying something for EB gc's!!! If you don't agree with IV mission statement - least you can do is SHUT UP! If you have other selfish agenda's take them some place else... don't use IV as a platform to segregate a group.
(In my personal opinion... IV should BAN anyone who suggests anything that breaks this group down! Enough is ENOUGH!)
____________________________
Mission Statement
The mission of Immigration Voice is to organize grassroots efforts and resources to solve several problems in the employment based green card process including (a) delays due to Retrogression (visa number unavailability for certain employment-based categories) (b) delays due to USCIS processing backlogs and (c) delays due to Labor Certification backlogs. We will work to remove these and other flaws by supporting changes to immigration law for high-skilled legal employment-based immigrants. High-skilled legal immigrants strengthen the United States' economy and help maintain American technological superiority.
_____________________________
P.S sorry for the rant - but some of the threads are really disappointing... EB2 vs EB3, Masters vs Non-masters....
It is very disappointing to see the division among the IV members, We need to look for a long term solution rather than fighting for individual short term solution

One way to get reciept notice or anything else for that matter is to file G-28 and change attorney on record. Second would be to file for Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and asking for all the records. Here what I gathered from Murthy Chat
Chat User : When the employer sponsors and retains the I-485 receipt without processing the EAD/AP, can an individual apply for an EAD mentioning the receipt number without jeopardizing GC processing?
Attorney Murthy : Yes, a person may file the EAD with just the receipt number on the Form I-765 without jeopardizing the I-485 processing. The EAD and AP are merely incidental benefits and are not directly connected with the I-485 processing or adjudication.
BumbleB
BumbleB,
Even if I can apply for EAD/AP, will I be able to change employer using AC21 without the receipt notice? Using G28 may not be an option before 6 months as the current lawyer is hired and paid by the employer.
How much time does FOIA take?
Thanks

My Lawyer does whatever my employer tells him. They never give any receipt notice or approval notice to employees.
They did not even let me file my EAD and AP along with I-485.
I can file EAD/AP myself but I'm worried they might not give me the receipt notice of my I-485 filed in july, in a last ditch effort to prevent me from fleeing(I don't yet have any intention btw) or atleast make it difficult for me.
I'm sure there would be many in this situation.
Any thoughts what can be done?
If they do not show you anything, how do you know your I140 was applied/cleared? How do you know your 485 was filed?
If we place ourselves in the employer position, almost everyone who can file 485 now is dreaming of invoking AC21 6 months from now. Imagine the mayhem if everyone or almost everyone quits. Many companies which are not direct vendors & where the employees are mostly H-1b will probably have to close shop. Naturally, employers would want to be cautious.
In your case, since you do not have the intention, you do not need the EAD anyway. At the least, try to get the case number. Even if your attorney does not give it to you, you can call USCIS and get your case number for 485 as 485 is really your application. You can also change the 485 address to yours during the call and then all communication will come to you.
You can invoke AC21 with your H-1b. That is the preferred method.

Or take non stop flights from JFK/EWR for east coast ppl.
People travelling to India, especially from the West coast should fly via the Pacific. Asian airlines such as Thai, Cathay and Asiana all offer better fares, better service and faster transit times.Plus these countries are not trying to fleece people by requiring that they get a "Direct Airside Transit Visa". It happened with my family when they reached the airport to board their flight on Virgin , they were not allowed.I then bought tickets on Thai for the next day. To compound the pain, Virgin imposed a "No Show" fee on each ticket despite going to the airport. I think it would be best to avoid most European carriers, if for no other reason but they offer higher fares, terrible service, long transit times and last but not the least; the scam of the century(Airport Transit Visas). What do they think the passengers will try to do, jump off the walkway and make a run for it so they can settle illegally in U.K!I think the U.K govt is running out of ways to make money so they have found the most ridiculous way to make a few extra pounds from people foolish enough to travel on one of their carriers! DONT FLY VIA U.K. PERIOD!
