Hi,
I am in the same situation too, my lawyer misplaced my wife photographs, but still went ahead and send the documents to USCIS.
Even i am worrying what would happen with my application.

Says that :
If you stay outside of the
U.S. for one year or more and did not apply for a re-entry
permit before you left, then you may be considered to have
abandoned your permanent resident status and may be refused
entry into the U.S. if you try to return. If you are in this situation,
contact the U.S. Consulate about a returning resident visa.
You might want to talk to an attorney before !
Good Luck and hope DHS/USCIS will provide some relief to you.
They have decades old laws, which don't make much sense and they have no agenda to change 'em.

If you do not get an infopass, you can put your home zipcode to a different one and try so it will search the nearest ASC.

This is the EB1 the usage for the last 14 years
06 = 36,960
05 = 64.731
04 = 31,291
03 = 14,544
02 = 34,452
01 = 41,801
00 = 27,706
99 = 14,898
98 = 21,408
97 = 21,810
96 = 27,501
95 = 17,339
94 = 21,053
93 = 21,114
The limit was at least 40.040 for each FY. In FY 06 it was 41,170. As you can see the limit has been reached twice in the last 14 years.
I went to REC (one of the top 20 schools in India) did my Mastrs in Full scholarship and have International papers for IEEE + Few Algorithms that have been presented at Int. Conferences,( I could not attend the conf. in Paris since I did not want to go and get stamped and go through all the hassel- Go figure). I am an Ideal candidate for EB1 but my lawyer said there is a 50/50 chance for further enquiry and it will only delay the process.
I know, I know but trust me, I was a University topper in Probablity and AI theories and I decided to chicken-out.
Not because I am afraid of enquiries, I just dont want to raise any flags. I want to keep working, Hopefully get my GC within few* years and then prove myself .
I applied under EB2 only because I don't want any enquiries and I know these POS lawyers will only delay the RFE's.
Anyway, I was just frustated, sorry about this rage but just needed an outlet.
People will only file under EB1 when A) They are not from India/China and They are not afraid to go and face any flags.
& /OR B) They have good lawyer, who is very much prudent and willing to take chances.
Any other theories and welcome

I'm in the same hole. Oct'2003 is my PD EB2I. had interview 3 months back. Was waiting so eagerly for this day. no update on my case. While I see Dec'2004 cases getting approved. Why can't USCIS do some organization and issue green card purely by priority dates rather than at the mercy of the officer. Why should they make lives of poor immigrants and green card applicants as miserable and touch as possible? Can't do anything more than feeling bad. :-(
If your PD is current, try creating a service request. This will force IO to look at your case. If it is ready for approval, he would probably approve it.

For any given fiscal year, either you are on f1 or h1. If for majority of the year (>183days) you are on f1 then claim as f1 for the whole year otherwise its h1.
If you are on f1 you do not pay ssn/medicare. You should get it back from your employer if they have deducted it. If they have already paid it to IRS then you should get it back from IRS. Contact your employer. Also your overall burden for federal/state taxes is less when you are on f1.
If you are on h1 for the whole year then you will not get back fica taxes. You also cannot claim fica taxes as deductions from your AGI. If you have not paid state taxes then you will have to pay them on h1 when you file for taxes.
Contact an attorney/CPA for advise. Take any advise on this forum as a guidance. Best is to contact your employer/international students office.

Dear All,
I was doing part -time school in a university and before they wanted to admit me,the university procedures included TB test. I showed positive in skin test and negative in X-ray about 4 months ago.
But the school procedures expected me to take TB tablets otherwise they wont let me register for courses. For the last 4 months I am on TB medication, I have it going on until october of this year.
Right now, I am in a dilemma. Since all our PD's our current, we need to get medical examination done. I don't know how my skin test is going to be since I am taking meds.
Should I inform my doctor that I am on medications or should I just hide it?
And should I take a letter from my school health department about how I don't have TB but been given medicines for School purposes? What should I do?
Please advise.

- Based on personal experience and not a professional advice
- I am assuming your PD is not current yet
I have lots of friends who have applied their H1-B extension, even though their 140, EAD, FP, AP all are approved and 485 applied. Even in my case (I have everything listed above except 140), my lawyer was actually waiting for 140 to get approved so that I can get a 3 year extension, but then applied extension as 140 is taking too long. You may want to talk to another lawyer.
If what your lawyer says is true, then almost all ~300K July filers will be without H1-Bs after some time. ;) ;) ;)

The fact that you are moving to a new employer using your EAD is in essence using the AC-21 portability provision. This new employer will now have to support your AC-21 claim.
You don't have to do anything further. In case employer A revokes your I-140, then USCIS might send an NOID. This can be easily reversed by sending in your AC-21 documents via the new employer.
There is no such thing as "continuing your GC process with your old employer" in your case. It is only true if you are working for your new employer using H1-B or other type of a visa, NOT EAD.
If anyone has doubts about what I said then please correct me.

please update us on when you get your visa and please post your entire experience as it would help others. you should have applied for AP while you are in US. Now that you are outside and do not have AP, the only options I see are you just wait on the visa from US consulate in Canada or alternatively, you can request your passport back telling them that you would like to apply for visa in India as you cannot stay in Canada for an extended period of time.

I am in the same situation as yours, (Actually my H1-B got denied)but i haven't filed for H1-B, i have inquired about it. You can file for H-1B and you are not subjected to quota . Only thing is your time towards on EAD will be counted against your H1-B. say out of 6 years of total H1-B, if you have 3 years of it and 1 year on EAD, when you apply for H1-B, you'll get the remaining 2 years. Your attorney will be able to help you out on this..Please keep us posted about the outcome and good luck..
In my case, H1B already expired. I have used it for 7 years. Now I am on EAD after 7 years of H1B.

well discussion is always welcome but do you mean that by discussing in the forums, you will have an effect on what will happen to the bill in the senate?i am all for any steps that will have a direct or indirect impact on the future of the bill. but do you really think that by arguing and debating with each other about what should happen will have any impact on the future of the legal immigration??
I do not think anybody here is a great political personality who is having a voice in the senate or congress, YOu know which forum you are in IV is lobbying and trying to make changes in the bill by lobbying and helping the immigrant communities, so ideas comes from debating and discussing that is the democractic way. Even lot of threads immigrationvoice hosted for ideas alone. so open your eyes. Dont wait to make effect in senate alone, but a combined effort by all of us will do.

Dear All,
My wife had applied for H1 last year through one desi employer. We received the H1. The employer took initial money from us to pay for the H1 fees promising that once project got started he would pay back. But during search for a project he mentally harassed us a lot. Luckily my PD became current, my wife got EAD and we could work independently. We were thinking of complaint against him to DOL. We have even prepared the case with all the documents and everything.
We were ready to send it but yesterday we came across a case of one Vishal Goyal who sued Patni for paying him low wages. Patni then threatened to harm his family in india if he doesent withdraw the case.
We are just afraid of something like that. I request people to please share if they have been abused by desi employer and if they have sucessfully complained to DOL and their experience in what they went through. Thank You.

I may have to use it for work from January as I am invoking AC21. I am confused now whether to re-apply or just use it like as it is.
My attorney informed USCIS about the typo error when they received the AOS receipts , but it looks like EAD Card was ordered before USCIS was notified. My Advance Parole has also mis-spelled Lastname. I have USCIS letter confirming typo error attached to my case. Would this be a sufficient proof that my EAD has a different Lastname which is only a typo error?
Gurus please advise.
