Hello gg_ny,
It is too scary.. Plz note that the surname change is after mariz.. As per our convention, after mariz, wife's surname changes to that of husbands.. We have the mariz certificate with us.
Is this still that major problem, as earlier explained by you?
The problem as I it was traveling on your old passport after you obtained a new one. You could have travelled on the new one attached to the old one and your change of name document.
I concur with others...you need to sort this out fast before you land in trouble. See an immigration attorney quickly. My 2 cents.

Lets figure out the next course of Action for IV in the best interests of its members. Let's itemize each one of them and propose possible solutions. This thread is not for question / answers about individual situations but broad GC issues to be resolved by Govt/Congress/USCIS/DHS/DOL by way of proposing bills/acts/resolutions/amendments. IV must have done this but I didn't see an easy way of getting it.
First we could categorize them into different buckets such as that IV did for the forums. Just made up some to give an example. Some gurus on IV can suggest a better categorizing
Ex:
1) Labor
a) Allow one to get promoted instead fixing to of a fixed job position in the labor advt.
2) I-140
a) Allow One to file for two I-140's
b) Have freedom to change employer when I-140 is pending
3) I-485
a) Allow one to get married while I-485 is pending or after approval or provide some status to the spouse for whose I-485 is approved
b) Have the flexibility of filing multiple 485's so that one can choose the best one at end of the approval stage
4) Finger Printing
a) ...
b) ...
5) Backlog
a) Resolve backlogs from 1999.. so and so..
OR in the following format
1) Labor
a) Issue : One cannot change job position while a labor is approved
Soln: Allow one to get promoted instead fixing to a fixed job position in the labor advt. Say so and so provision/act/amendment (Sect 2.3.1 blah blah has to be changed to resolve this issue.
2) I-140
a) Issue: More RFE's for I-140 change in job profiles
Soln: As the time passes and technologies changes the job profiles may change and it is not wise to look for word to word match in the job descriptions. Say so and so provision/act/amendment (Sect 5.3.2 blah blah has to be changed to resolve this issue.
b) Have freedom to change employer when I-140 is pending
Soln: The time taking for getting the PD is too long and so EAD has to be issued at the I-140 stage itself. Provision/act/amendment (Sect 2.3.4 blah blah has to be changed to resolve this issue.
3) I-485
a) Issue: One cannot get married and bring the spouse while I-485 is pending
Soln : As most of the GC aspirants are in their marriage age and this hampers prospect of getting married when I-485 is pending. Allow one to get married while I-485 is pending or after approval or provide some status to the spouse for whose I-485 is approved. Section 6..7..8 blah blah has to be modified to accomodate this
b) Have the flexibility of filing multiple 485's so that one can choose the best one at end of the approval stage
Soln: Give the freedom for some one to file multiple 485's but allow to choose one. Modify section 554.34.3.34 blah
4) Finger Printing
a) blah blah..
b) blah blah
5) Backlog
a) Resolve backlogs from 1999.. so and so..
I just cooked up some above but the actual one's may be different
I am sure the IV Core must have these itemized already. Some one in the core team may take a lead on this and formalize the process. This is what probably the way we try resolving problems rather than balabbering issues among ourselves in the postings amongst us.
There are lot many individual stories on different threads, and there is some thing common out of all these postings and that common issue should be the action item to be taken up by IV.
Guys put in your thoughts and come up with better approach or improve up one of the above approaches. But do something before every looses the tempo.
If this can be made as a sticky and the first post can be updated with each new issue that itself takes us what we need to do and how we are trying to tackle and what are the time lines.
Hope this helps

To the IV Core Team,
I want to express my solidarity & support with you guys. You have been great in bringing so much focus on our issues in just the last 3 months. Kudos to you guys !!!
The core team has spent so much of their personal time, money & energy into this, I fully support the suggestion someone else had put in this thread. If any money is left at the end of our ordeal, let the core team be rewarded by the remaining amount being split between them. I too know that this suggestion may be turned down by the Core Team members themselves, but here's my vote for it.
Just remember that for every 1 person complaining here, there are at least 10 people supporting you. Thanks for all that you are doing to help our cause !!!
To the members here who are always complaining,
Please stop behaving like a bunch of spoiled kids. You seem to demonstrate this attitude by behaving like a kid going up to someone, handing over a 5 dollar bill & asking for the "Tower of Paris". If you want your Tower of Paris, come & help us build it.
Go IV Core Team members !!!!! :)

I am not sure. There are two red flags I see in this argument. The first is that for your wish to come true next 4 years you need only 30K GC labor to be filed. But analyst are predicting recession to be over by this year end or 2nd qtr of 2010 after which hiring will start and also the whole GC process. The second argument is in 2009 we were in recession with 30K apps filed but we did not see any huge jump in EB2 numbers if this bulletin had put dates in 2006 range then we could have said that the spill was really large. Looks like the spill was not huge since every one knew that EB2I was always somehwere near 2004. all they did was put it all the way to cover entire 2004.
Due to the economic downturn there aren't many companies sponsoring GCs for employees. I doubt it would be more than 20 to 30k per year from now. This leaves 100-110k visas available every year for retrogressed countries like india and china
if there 300-400k pending GC applications in all categories then shouldn't all of us get our GC in next 3-4 years?

You can apply for extension. Fees are not applicable for extension of status. If it involves status transfer e.g H4 to H1, then you need to pay the fees. I extended my wife, and daughters status just by filing the paper work and got the new I-94.
So if I m extending my H1 or H4, I dont need to pay any fees ? Can you explain exactly what extension you got with out paying the fee .

Today I received RFE for my H1 Extension.
I received only one RFE which is obtaining contract documents from the chain .
Here is my situation.
I work for Client A for whom Company B does the project work. I was contracted through Company C who is the prime vendor for Company B.
Here is the chain.. My Company --> Company C --> Company B --> Client A.
RFE states that my company need to provide contract documents within the entire chain which is highly unlikely they can obtain.
Company B and Company C can only provide letters to affirm that that I work for Client A. Will this be enough or does it need to be only a Contract document?
Below are my questions
==================
1.) My company says that they have PO from Company C which provides details about the entire chain. Will this be enough to answer the RFE?
2.) Does withdrawing H1 extension cause any problems ? I can invoke EAD
3.)Also Company B is willing to take me fulltime, so essentially if I abaondon H1 extension and join Company B , will this help or cause any more problems?
Thanks and appreciate your response.

I like ur idea, can you design this or get someone to do this. It still has to have the same basic principle. we all have ideas we need someone to actually do this since we are mostly IT folks with programming skills can we get a volunteer or a group of volunteer who can do this?

You should read that RonGothers thread - he is strongly of the opinion that maintaining H1B status while AOS is pending is useless. Moreover, it seems like USCIS can revoke your remaining H1B when they deny AOS application basically kicking you out of the country immediately. Now as a practical matter, I don't think they are doing that anyway. So guys, once you burn up your 6 year H1B, there is no real strong cushion if 485 gets denied. To heck with these laws. Stupid and irritating.
...and the confusion regarding this rule continues :)

Why don't you contact some senator! You have been current for so long ..
because USCIS is not even willing to talk if the Service center does not have processing dates current. And if my case is in California (which website says), then the processing dates are not current and have never been current and probably will not be current for a very long time. CSC does not process 485 applications at all.

"Yesterday, we described potential four options for the DOS and the USCIS. Unconfirmed sources indicate that the last option appears to be "out." ...."
And the last option is ....
"The fourth, which is important but difficult, option might be to change its rule to permit I-485 application, I-765 employment authorization application, and I-131 applications for the foreign workers and their spouses and children if the foreign workers have obtained the labor certification approvals."
So if this rumour is true, then no EAD's & AC21 after I-140 and before 485 :(

You should read that RonGothers thread - he is strongly of the opinion that maintaining H1B status while AOS is pending is useless
Its not useless if you are in a ROW country/category that is always/usually current since your I-485 can be approved in a short period of time, without having to extend H-1. So you can save yourself the hassle of switching back and forth between H-1 and EAD.
It only becomes pointless when you are in a backlogged country like most of us are. By the time a decision is made on the I-485 you wouldve already extended your H-1 beyond 6 years, thus making it dependant on that EB petition.

Good joke :)
I totally agree. Good joke indeed.
Agreed that they are humans. Disagree that they are doing their best. I have worked in a government agency part-time on OPT here in the US, and let's just say, more than half the time is spent away from desk, and outside buildings for smoke/coffee breaks. IT Projects that should not take more than a month or two to finish, linger on for years.
