As per my understanding, Lawyer or employer can not withdraw I485. I may be wrong, I 485 can be only withdrawn by applicant.
Any inputs..
I am in serious trouble, please read and comment if you can help.
- Spouse (Primary) and I filed I 485 in June 2007. (PD March 2004)
- Spouse Application is approved in July 2008
- Spouse changes employers after approval
- In October 08 we write to the law firm that initially filed the I 485 to withdraw their representation.
- In Nov 08 the Law firm incorrectly writes to USCIS to with draw the I 485 application.
- In March 08 I get an email from USCIS stating my application is withdrawn.
I obtained the notice of withdrawal and the notice says
'As a result of your request, your application is considered withdrawn, and it will recieve no further consideration by USCIS. There is no appeal to this decision.'
Neither I nor my wife have authorized the attorney to withdraw the application, we only wanted them to withdraw their representation (I have the letter we wrote to them and it clearly states it.)
what can we do.
Is it possible to reinstate our case?
Can we refile my AOS again, even thought the primary applicants green card is approved more than 6 months ago?

This I hope will convince more people to join and align themselves with IV's activities than going in their seperate ways.
Most of us will have ideas, but agreed with a consensus we should let IV Core decide on a set of activities and hopefully more members embrace it.
We can never control what anti's think or how immigrants are viewed etc. We ignore others and we fight for what we think is a just measure.
Look within ourselves than looking at others.
I hope more people embrace IV(monetarily, physically, morally) for us to be able to bring volume into our side of the arguments.
Thanks.

using a flash is ok, just be careful if you wear glasses (you might need some retakes before you get it right). and turn on red eye removal. 3.2 mp for the size (2x2) of picture is good enough.. Even 1 mp is good enough if you are zooming in to take pictures. but if you are cropping a 1 mp picture to take out surroundings, its better to use 2mp plus camera.
When using a flash you get harsher shadows, to counter that have light source both from left right and top and do the picture in daytime with atleast some natural light. Remember stand atleast 2 feet away from the white background.
Flash results specially in home environment without proper lighting won't be good at nighttime unless you use multiple synchronised flash guns.
I guess the other persons remark regarding flash may be related to lighting / over exposures/ shadows. (make sure you wipe your face if you have oily skin - no kidding )
In the end if you really want to make your pictures look good and per specifications go to a portrait studio.
Thanks Oldmonk for the detailed reply! I appreciate it.

It is not that i have full basket of apples now... my previous 2-employers promised me to start labor...but they did not do it..even i sent my docs 2-times to the previous employer ..but they gave lie assurances & very dumb...so i have lost my 2.5 years just waiting on their promises...& nothing got.
Finally, I made up my mind ...either to get it on fast track OR leave this option... forever.
I don't see anything wrong in it...as the previous person already left that labor unused... & employer needs those skills..which he found in me.
I would advise you to not worry about the naysayers on this thread!!
to each his own and as long as the lawyer signs off on it and you are convinced that the company is genuine, go for it.
for pete:
it is easy for you to pontificate. all things (salary + benefits + job satisfaction) being equal, if you got an offer from another hospital/university with an older LC that would allow you to file for your 485 on Monday, WOULD you not take it?

Aren't we over-estimating the overall $$ loss? Assuming we will eventually file for I-485, some of the fees that other members are mentioning are not really a waste.
I spent about $2500 in attorney fees but I do not consider this a waste. The next time I file for my I-485, all my paperwork is ready and I am assuming my attorney won't charge me again (atleast not another $2500).
I spent $360 for medical but it is valid for 1 year. If by any chance I can file for my I-485 within the next year, this is not a waste.
Filing fees are all going to come back. So it should not be counted as money spent. Photos would also come back (hopefully).
Only $$ loss I see as of now are the fedex charges and other micellaneous spendings. For me it is around $500. Not so bad....

Your wife cannot apply for I-485 when she is in India. One of the pre-condition is you have to be in US to apply for a I-485. She can only do consular processing.
However if you can get visitor visa and after entering america, if you apply for a I-485, most probably USCIS will approve your case. Therefore, In my opinion the challenge is getting B1/B2 visa when her husband is waiting for a adjustment of status.
Thanks friend. I do hope your prayers work for me. But I still find it strange that if someone has a pending I-485 through consular processing route, then he/she can't get a visitor visa no matter what? What if it is a medical crisis? Family reunion issues? This sure sucks. I will check with some lawyer on this.
And lastly what you detect as arrogance is my plain talking style. Did I make personal attack on anyone? no, right? Life is like a game of chess. Make the move which makes the best sense at any stage. What is the point in thinking about past moves?
Follow to join looks like a good move as of now. But I can use this move only if my GC is approved first. But I doubt my GC will be approved in a month or so. So if my GC is still pending and dates retrogress again, we are stuck. On the other hand if my wife applies I-485 in india she can't get a visitor visa. If she comes to US first on B1, then she can't file I-485 because of violation of intent. I need one damn grandmaster of a lawyer to fix this game man.

Factors you forgot to consider:
1. EB1 and EB2 applicants this July and Aug. ate up the numbers that were made available to EB3 last June 2007.
2. EB3 Visa number is just very few, around 800 per month per PICM country.

On a side note, I was wondering what happens to derivative/secondary beneficiaries 485 applications if the primary beneficiary is stuck in name check.....If secondary beneficiaries are cleared and primary is not, then does USCIS approve GCs for secondary beneficiaries..
No.. They are also stuck till primary gets clear.

oh God! all of you self-righteous prigs! get a life and give this person a break. He didnt like something, so came out and expressed it, and very politely, i might add. If all you want to do is show the world how pompous your ego is, then go do it somewhere else..enough already!! If someone expresses something, dont take it personal and start responding as if he directed his comments at you!
that's exactly what we did you self-righteous prig!
When we didn't like something, we came out and expressed it.

From their tone, I can tell the were trying hard to be helpful.
But, no receipt for me yet. July 2nd filer here as well.
Should I keep another set of 485 application ready, just in case if I don't hear about check cashing or receipt till august 15th ?
Is there any harm in filing the 485 again (just to be safe).... IF I don't get any indication of action on july2nd app ?
And how are you sure that the second application will be correct and not have any errors that the first one had? :D

I am very surprised about the requests for cheap photos !!! What a pity.
We were ready to spend thousands of dollars just a month ago just to have the ability to apply for I485, but when you get a chance , try to save a few dollars and risk an RFE , delay in processing or even denial.
Walmart photos suck , so are CVS photos. I had them take my pictures in the past. Never used the walmart ones and CVS photos got rejected for visa revalidation. They used Polaroid camera at walmat and they were not good at all.
I took them at Macy's studio , costed me about $30 for 6 copies but they are great. Please choose a professional studio, $20 extra dollars are worth every penny.
Some one mentioned about saving $20 and have a dinner. I would rather have peace of mind knowing my pictures are good enough for USCIS than have a $20 dinner.
Just my 2 cents though. May be I am extra cautious because I got burned once :)

This is ridiculous. Looks like, They want to increse the fees to collect money for border security, to build the fence on the border. Pretty sure they wouldnt use this money for speedig up the processing times for applications.
