Hello,
So yesterday (Saturday) was another surprize, a pleasant one again! I got a call from the same IO who told me that he got all the documents that I had sent and has cleared my case for approval, but now my fingerprints have expired.
He asked if I could come right away to his office and he could give me an instant fingerprinting appointment in the nearby INS office. When I told him that I'm currently out of country on business trip and won't be back in US till April, he said he will send me an appointment near April 15th.
I thanked him for his follow-up and he said he was just doing his job. I know this might be an exception than a rule, but just wanted to acknowledge this particular IO and hope there are more like him.
Just checking....If you are out of country, How could the IO know you number if you are on business trip? :confused:

(C) Completion of course of study. The DSO may authorize a reduced course load in the student\'s final term, semester, or session if fewer courses are needed to complete the course of study. If the student is not required to take any additional courses to satisfy the requirements for completion, but continues to be enrolled for administrative purposes, the student is considered to have completed the course of study and must take action to maintain status. Such action may include application for change of status or departure from the US

USCIS is already aware of this. They have been notified through AILA and our letters are also working. IV has also been pushing for more broader AC21 regulations for a few months now.
Our request from IV is to keep sending the letters. Please send letters in thousands - not like 50 to 60 letters.
Everyone must take initiative and push other members. It is a very importasnt campaign.
It is very much possible that a lot of you may be a victim of AC21 denials. It is your call.
Please take responsibility and everyone must come forward and bring others also into this campaign.
This is encouraging. chandu, I read somewhere (mostly on murhty) that CIS will be publishing new AC21 soon and it is expected to be more stricter. Is this just the speculation or any other indications are received?? any idea? I am afraid that what will happen to people who already have used AC21 by following what currently exists???????

this is compeletely voluntary. I have contributed $50.00 so far. I think good way is to create spreadsheet showing member names and contributions, make link to it. Whoever wants to see, they can always look it. But I think we should not make it mandatory to contribute for becoming a member. Any advice / opinion is valuable for IV.

- You are a dependent EAD holder
AND
- You will never need to travel outside US
AND
- Some one else takes care of renewing your EAD every year
AND
- Someone else pays the $340 + $200 (lawyer fees) to renew the EAD
AND
- The principal applicant is able to find job in "same or similar" if laid off so that I-485 is not jeopardized
AND
- You are never going to get laid off because if you are, then good luck, because there are lots of companies out there that explicitly require green card holders and citizens because they don't want to get into any type of immigration issues (illegal by law, so you can technically file lawsuit against them).

Congrats to Goan2005.
For a lot of others it's a long wait. Unless you used substitution labor to jump the line, increasing the Visa numbers, elimination of country quotas is your only hope. IV is the only organization/movement working for it.
Be part of the movement to get those LUDs in your case. Real status is - 'Case Approved'. Rest all are passe. Work for the real thing.

I spoke to our immigration lawyer today.
He said that entering on h1 while I have a pending 485 does not affect the 485 in anyway.
He advised that I enter on h1 even if I have the AP.

LoL. The response from the senator (actually from one of his assistants, for Obama did not even read your letter), may appall you thoroughly, but it was completely expected. We may think of our predicament apocalyptic, but from the point of view of a wannabe president, it is not even a problem which requires a careful and personal reading of a letter. With huge issues like Iraq war and 12 million foreigners living illegally in the country bearing down on him, who has time for a few thousand law abiding workers waiting patiently in line.
How disheartening it can be to realize that let alone helping solve your problem, this country has not even noticed our problem on its radar. Part of our problems is actually caused by illegal immigrants, and yet we are being confused as being one of them. The analogy may sound crude to many, but now I know how the Sikhs must have felt when they were the victims of hate crimes in the wake of 9-11.
Somewhere in these forums I read somebody�s suggestion to rename the organization to legal-immigrants-first, or a similar sounding name. It may sound wholly redundant exercise to many of us, who are living the retrogression problem everyday, but it will make real difference in achieving our goals. We must first clearly identify and register ourselves in the eyes of leader of this country, before letting them know of our problems.

Following intresting info is listed on the immigration-law, wish it is true :)
"There has been going around a rumor lately that the USCIS was internally discussing retreat from the 485 rejection decision. It appears that this rumor probably started from the USCIS HQ order over the Texas Service Center to hold all the July 2007 EB-485 applications abeyanbce and not to return the applications to applicants. Unconfirmed sources indicate that because of the order, the Texas Service Center is not returning the EB-485 applications which have been received since July 2, 2007. However, there is no evidence that the decision is necessarily related to its potential decision to withdraw the rejection decision. At this point, its reasons are completion unknown. Please stay tuned. "
IS THIS APPLICABLE ONLY TO JULY 2 FILERS? FOR OTHERS, IS IT ADVISABLE TO FILE I485 NOW?

What jurisdiction mumbo jumbo are they giving your pp is still valid in all states in the US for H1-B.
The seattle, WA office or any other local office doesnt accept form I907 (which is for PP). After my case transfered to seattle, WA my employer tried to convert into PP. He sent it to USCIS, CA they said it is not with them so they can not accept it. Then he sent it to Seattle, WA with all the letters attached. The seattle office rejected the 907 saying they dont accept 907 in their office.

I am inches away from either creating a Therapy sub-forum or asking you lot to take the venting and therapy posts to Immigration Portal.
Please lets keep IV's forums for constructive conversations about our agenda -- breaking news on legislation, upcoming actions, broadening support for our activities.
It really shouldn't be Immigration Portal Version 2 where everything and anything goes.

Thanks. My lawyer was worried to file I485 as derivative due to the fact my primary application is considered withdrawn. So he made a request in letter to adjudicate together instead of filing another 485. I guess i have to wait.

Hello guys,
My frustration is increasing and patience going down. I am strongly considering moving back to India. When planning the move, a few questions popped in my head the answer to which I am not able to find (yet); hence putting it out here.
1. How can I inform SSN department or credit bureau that I am not longer in USA..hence no one can use my SSN even if it gets stolen? Is there a way to "lock" things down?
2. What happens to 401K? Is there a IRS tax law that says because this guy was on H1-B and leaving..don't charge him the 40% penalty?
2.1 After 40% in penalty and 30% in taxes...with the market beaten down...not much remains...wonder if it's even worth touching it. So if I decide to leave the money here in my 401K account, what happens when I want to withdraw it? Rather what is the best way to withdraw it?
3. Any estimates on how much it costs to ship things back to India? I live in 2 bedroom apt..so have the usual stuff.....couch, bed, tv, clothes of many sizes, lots of kitchen utensils. Just an average...I understand things can vary a lot.
4. PIO card has the passport number of my son on it...the passport will expire when he is five year old. So do I get a new passport number? If so what happens to the PIO card? Do I need to get a new one?
Others, please feel free to add to the list of questions.
Thanks

Hey, I have a question too
- How come people like me go red after 1-2 posts, and utter rascals here remain fully green even after redded by many?
Even though the context of your question and intention is suspicious at best....it's actually a really good question.
Let me restate it for the benefit of others
Q. How does the red and green rating system truly work?
A. The general rule that it is directly related to how much fellow members like your post holds true but there are also some finer details. Supervisors/admins can award much higher points either positive or negative. The total number of your posts even if unrated is a factor...generally unrated posts tilt the balance towards positive...which makes sense since no one found it offensive.
So becoming green is easy when the majority of your posts help your fellow IV members.
It's really tough to stay red when you have a large number of posts cause lots of fellow members have to rate your posts negatively.
Hope this helps.
Admins can chime in here and clarify if I haven't explained it right.
It's good to have a clear explanation of policy.
