I did a year ago, gave my US address. They entered the US address in passport. So now you loose your indian address as a proof :)
Regarding H1-B, if your passport is stamped with Visa, I don't think notarized H1-B copy is required. Since the passport has a valid visa.

What USCIS did to the other worker category in June was clearly a violation of Federal regulation (8 CFR Section 245.1(g)) - however since the numbers were insignificant, the violation went unnoticed.
It goes without saying that AILA will file a federal law suit seeking immediate interim relief, if the USCIS does this again...
The repercussions of such a law suit will be worse for the USCIS and very good for the filers. If the judge grants interim relief, that will mean USCIS cannot close the doors until the law suit is settled...USCIS is probably already aware of this possible repercussion and will most certainly avoid this lawsuit situation...
There are an estimated 250,000 (primary) filers expected to take advantage of the July visa bulletin...a number that is hard to go unnoticed...
AILA has already sent a legal memo to the USCIS, not to violate Federal regulation (8 CFR Section 245.1(g)), he is pretty confident, USCIS will continue to accept I-485s at least until the end of July...

Hi
I applied for H1B and Change of Status in April 2007 and got approval for the same in August 2007.
I have to go to India so, I want to know Can I Travel outside US and re-enter on H4 visa (which is valid till 2009) before October 1st?(Before H1 becomes effective)
I am aware of the fact that you can not travel outside US while your application is pending. But in my case I have the approval. So is it possible?
Thanks
You can come back to US on H4, but you may have to apply for change of status from h4 to h1 again, to be able to work in US.

GCPerm, Saralayar, spicy_guy, freedom_fighter and others ........ dedicate your time (30 or 60 minutes everyday) on green card backlog issues. Help us all in this process.
Things are not as easy as it seems......Writing letters alone does not solve problems - and reading pappu's post - monthly trips to DC, meeting with (dont know who all), raising funds, having lobbyists -- all of these are things that take up time. IV has already said that it cannot take it on unless they achieve the primary goal of clearing backlogs.
Think about it, gcperm is the only guy who has met with Schumer's office. That's it. Even he has no idea on how many more senate offices he has to meet....... Or how deals are cut to get any legislation considered............. I read the Citizenship doc - nothing in it is viable - everything in it only shows the total lack of knowledge regarding laws.
US in never going to adopt point based system - for green card or citizenship. Every other recommendation past 4 relates to point based system - so chuck them out. As for recommending the form and the fee for it - and actually putting the price on it - again shows the lack of thought.
The third and most important one, you are asking for these benefits for employment based category - things never work that way. Every group of immigrants will ask the same benefits or if they cannot get it, they will fight tooth and nail so that no nobody else gets it too.
Congratulations for getting your green cards. Stay and help out the members who are yet to get their green cards. IV am sure would take on the issue of citizenship once it has achieved its primary goal.....
I agree. No point system. But how is asking for wait time after filing 485, counted against citizenship eligibility, not valid? Its perfectly valid and that eases the pain for MANY!

@snathan: Have you checked with your lawyer if he sent an email to DOL. You may have been audited.
Whenever I call atorny...he says it will take time and be patient. Its not FIFO with USCIS...I have seen cases pending from Nov 2007. I really dont know how to push him to send a mail.

What people are doing here is basically discounting the value of education. They are questioning the point of going to college at all (or to get a graduate degree), when you can just go to a trade school and learn a programming language that gets you a job. By that logic, why study history, biology, philosophy, languages, etc., if you eventually want to be in the software industry.
What people need to understand is that education gives you perspective. I don't directly use 95% of the education that I gained in many years of school, college and graduate studies. Does that mean it's worthless? I beg to differ, and so do my employers and people who work with me.
I stand corrected. I misunderstood his statement. I thought he was referring to a non-US degree. Yes, I agree, a sound theoretical foundation goes a long way.

With a user id that you have and your comment above :D, I think people might take you seriously. Take it easy buddy.:) I might not go to the mall today as I was planning to and stick to home.
Life has lots of other issues,so while the GC is important it cannot and should not come before all other problems in life. Talk to the people who have been diagnosed with cancer or something else and have been told that they will live 6 months at the most, you'll understand what priorities in life are.
I do wish it was Friday today then could have downed a few pegs tonight :rolleyes:

In our state chapter meeting one of the idea "is to post ad in the local theatres where Indian movies are being shown" - I bet there are good potential members coming to the movies..
To post in local theatres, the state chapter members have agreed to pitch in and cover the cost rather than requesting from IV core.

I would suggest our discussion with the congressional staff should focues on relief in two parts. Many in media are reporting that there is going to be another stimulus bill after healthcare reforms.
So we should try to get waiver on green card quota limits for buying a house. We can make it part of stimulus bill.
All other things including termination of country quota, racapture, exclusion of dependents can be part of CIR.

The number of cases approved during 2002-2005 was at least 2-3 times what was being approved now(when recapture was in force)... improving efficiency will not give us any more visas... if there are 100k waiting for a GC they will still keep waiting no matter how efficient USCIS is. The fact of the matter is that they can only approve 3k per category per country. recaptured visas are free of country and category caps. It will not cause divisions or issues and will help unite everyone behind one cause. Other short term issues dont help(multiyear EADs or APs and such)...they just prolong the pain and drain money every year. The queue can only be reduced, by time or attrition or more output... we can all agree which is better.
Firstly the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of un-used visa's is a clear indicator of poor USCIS efficiency. Even if the recapture visa effort bears fruit and people will get interim benefit it will do nothing to improve the efficiency of processing cases at USCIS which I think is the root cause of this problem. Yes there is also a supply and demand situation but unless USCIS improves the delays and backlogs may not stand a chance.

Just wanted to let you know that I've booked my ticket and will be attending the advocacy days on both days. This is my first time coming to the advocacy days and am looking forward to it. I'll registering for the event tomorrow, but wanted to pass on the information.
Also, I'll be staying at a friend's place who lives in Cockeysville, MD, a suburb of Baltimore. If anybody from this area is traveling for the event, I'd love to ride along because I won't have a car and don't know the area.

Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum14-members-forum/1599353-want-to-file-485-when-pd-is-not-current-gather-here.html)) and momentum to continue with this campaign.
The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
pappu
I would think that is no more need for waiting the survey results to see how important is this item for immigration community and/or IV!
If we look just on advocacy day contributions and see that the biggest part of the contribution came from people how did not have the chance to file in July 2007, from my point of view that say everything.

I'm all for this. This is very close to my heart. I probably care more about this than I do, my 485 approval.(can't have one without the other, I know I know. But still.).
I don't know when I'll get my 485 approved, hopefully within the next year. But I'm willing to work on this, whatever it takes - contributions, lawmaker meetings, DC.
I'm in.
This has got to be simple too. When the citizenship law was first drafted, immigrants got their green cards within months of entering the country. Start to End of the greencard process took under a year, if not less.
The intention of the law was to have them learn the language, the ways of the country, and assimilate, which was expected to take about 5 years, before applying for citizenship.
These days the green card process itself take over 5 years for a lot of people. Most Indians and Chinese in the EB2 category, and pretty much the entire EB3 category have lived here longer than 5 years. In those 5 years they have gone to school here, paid income taxes, bought homes, and learned the language (well they had to, in order to qualify for an employment based green card!). What more "assimilation" do they need to do?
I definitely think that the following should be the criteria for eligibility to apply for citizenship,
- An approved green card
- 5 years of continuous U.S. residence starting from the date the 485 application was received.
Let's do this.

Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.
We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.
Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.
People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.
Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.
I totally feel for you right now. A lot of people are celebrating the unexpected news, and those that have applied for labor possibly MUCH earlier are still stuck.
Let's hope that the BEC keep to their new revised deadline and the Visa Bulletins remain rosy for you
