Can someone please confirm if "Card Production Ordered" email from USCIS mean my 485 is approved and I have gotten GC ?
I have only got this "Card Production Ordered" email and not an email specifically saying "485 approved". How long does it take after "Card Production Ordered" email to get actual card.
Also if May bulletin is Unavailable it still means that GC;s issued if your date is current in April are valid ? My email came yesterday same day as the new May bulletin ?
When they approve, they have to check boxes for emails/actions. Sometimes they forget some of them. Your email confirms that your GC journey is over. Congrats.

Your lawyer is right. People are taking advantage of portabilty of PD in multiple 140s. However, they are forgetting fundamental of 140 sponsership. Your employer already filed a 140 for a higher level position (EB2) and now requesting again USCIS to approve a 140 for a lower level position (EB3) for same employee with in a months. How will you justify? Howmany job offer your employer can give you? Is there any logic involved, for a person already given a higher level position, to take a lower level position. In the eyes of USCIS, it will defintly looks like your employer is doing fraud and there is no genuine job offer to you. If it is otherway, it may not look bad. If your first I-140 was EB3 and second one is EB2, then there may be a logic.
If what you are saying constitutes a fraud, isnt filing the PERM the first step of the fraud and thats already committed -
I'm not a lawyer - so dont know much about legalities - but this is a common practise nowadays - filing multiple labor petitions for the same person does happen - I believe it certainly is possible that you can go forward provided and thats very important - provided your company is willing to cooperate. It can always happen that they had job 'X' initially but later on the requirements changed which created job 'Y'. Now, you are overqualified for 'Y' as X's qualitifications were greater than Y but that doesnt stop you from applying for or to be considered for job 'Y'. There are folks who have 10 years of experience and their labor is for 2 or 3 years of experience. Certainly doesnt look like fraud to me - of course, if your company wants you to be stuck - you dont have much choices. I've known another instance where the company claimed it may be fraud and on something that they had proposed to do all along - things did sort out finally but its a long story :-)

You need experience letter from employer A. Explain to employer A that you are attempting a switch to EB2 for your own career and if it does not work out, you will stick with theim. Telling lies is not a good idea.

I am a july 2007 filler as well and my GC was approved last month though the processing date was few months behind. I know some other cases as well whose 485 was approved when the processing date was not current. So i would say that just stay positive and keep your fingers crossed. Happy days should be just around the corner.
can you share more details about your case?

ok.. what about july 2nd filers...have i filed or not filed?
no. Do not count any I-485 filed in July 2007. Perhaps I should have changed that to "Filed 485 and have receipt" :)

I need your help on these issues. My labor certification was filed on October 25th 2006 and had it approved on 5th of November 2006.
Now my employer is ready to file the 1-140 together with 1-1485. My question is, I do not know whether my priority date is current for the filing of these forms.
Looking at the above filing date, can some one brief me on my likely priority date?
The other question is, even though my employer is taking the responsibilty of my filing process, I am paying all the expenses ( be it the Attorney fee as well as other additional fees are being borne by me).
When do you think will be appropriate for me to quit this job after my 1-140 and 1-1485 have been filed? Please advice me on this because my initially promised to pay for all the expenses but denied this after I have taken up the job.[/QUOTE]

Hello All,
One of my friends mentioned that there is a possibility that I-94 card could be stamped with the date on my current visa stamp at the port of entry. This would invalidate my wife's transfer since the new transferred visa is valid until 2009 whereas my stamping with my old employer is valid only until Dec 2007. In order to avoid this, should my wife submit her passport as well as the I-797 and I-539 from my current employer and ask the officer to stamp the new dates on the I-94? Please advise.
Regards,
Azeez

My lawyer have said that I need to submit last year's tax return.
USCIS can ask for previous tax return any time. you maynot have tofile now but better to clean that. refile 1040X and pay the taxes and interst. you will be fine. IRS is good if you accept your mistake instead of catching you later.

One more thing about stamping in Canada and Mexico.
The chances of getting a new H1 stamp, even if you have another H1 stamp that's expired, are very low if you have no college Education from USA.
So if you have your college degrees from outside USA, its best to go to home country for stamping. The reason is that the consulate would simply pass the buck and say "Go to your home country for stamping as we do not have qualified people to evaluate your education from India/China/whatever".
On the other hand, if you have MS, or BS from USA, then visa stamping should be a fairly easy process, unless there are other complications in your case.
Then you would have to fly directly from Canada to your home-country for stamping.

I just booked tickets for an emergency 1 week trip to India and 30 mins later got a CRIS email
---------------------------
We reopened this I129 PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER on August 28, 2009, and are now reviewing our earlier decision. We also mailed you a notice describing the next steps in the process. Please follow any instructions on this notice. Our review should be completed within 30 days. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service
-------------------------------
Most likely my company revoked H1. Until this email came I was confident I could travel without worries of 485 getting touched/denied when I was in India.(I am planning to reenter using AP).
I currently have found a similar job but havent filed AC21 papers yet. I am now hesitating to travel as something happens to my 485 when I am out of the country there is not much that can be done.
So with
a) H1 Revoked aug 28th
b) Address changed
c) AC21 not filed
I am thinking of not travelling. Am I overreacting here ?

EndlessWait I hope ur wait will end soonI can't sleep all night.. cmon atleast give us few options.
My take on the permanent solution:
1. Recapture lost visa numbers
2. Medical tests are going to be valid indefinitely
3. Ppl who've worked for X years automatically can apply for I-485
5. All can apply as per the old bulletin
6. ????
cmon guys help me with this.i'm running out of ideas..:D

I think, for an employment-based case, there is effectively a 180-day grace period because of 245[k]. Please explore this, which may be helpful for gaps like I485 refusal and MTR.
From: http://www.murthy.com/adjsta.html
Section 245(k) enables a person who is adjusting status in an employment-based category (whether on the basis of a labor certification or in one of the special Green Card categories that does not require a labor certification or job offer) to adjust, even if s/he has been out of status or worked without authorization for less than 180 days. This provision does not require an immigrant petition or labor certification to have been filed on or before any particular date and there is also no penalty fee involved.

Thanks so much for your insights. If I migrate south bound again, I will probably not return to my current company as I am fed up being the designated work horse.
I have permanent residencies in 4 countries including Canada and I am getting tired being victimized by the immigration system. Unless there is a systematic fix up or my PD becomes current, I plan to continue exploring opportunities else where.
For ladies and gents who are already seeing the light at the end of their tunnels, I wish you the very best.

Folks,
As many of us get ready to use AC21 to switch from current employers, i wanted to get your feed back on a very common contartual obligation.
My contract with my desi consultant basically says
"Agreement Not to Compete. While I am employed by Employer, and for ONE years/ 12 months afterward, I will not directly or indirectly participate in a business in a similar capacity that is similar to a business now or later operated by Employer in the same geographical area. This includes participating in my own business or as a co-owner, director, officer, consultant, independent contractor, employee or agent of another business.
In particular, I will not:
(i) Solicit or attempt to solicit any business or trade from Employer's actual or prospective customers or clients; or
(ii) Divert or attempt to divert business away from Employer;"
Now my employer had nothing to do with me getting my clients, i do my own marketing and negotiationas, but of course the employer signs on all the papers. Will i still have to change clients when i switch employer?

To answer your questions:
1. Transfer from H4 to F1 is very straight forward and you can do it yourself. I did the same for my wife.
2. You need to show 1 yr expenses in your account.
3. One year should be fine.
4. If your parents want to fund her study, then you have list them as one of the sponsor and then show the money in the bank.
