A 700billion$ bailout is not helping much. You think we can help the economy? We are at the mercy of the employers whose earning results are going down because of recession. :( It is hard for me to believe that we can help the economy by buying houses and how are the law makers going to get convinced? Show me the proof.

I will next month. Using same/similar job. And also, my lawyer said that we do not need to send AC-21 letter to USCIS, wait for the RFE, if any. So don't worry and enjoy this small freedom.

a recapture helps everone by moving the line forward and making dates current. there is also a parallel effort on to bring changes like 485 filing without PD being current. so no one ie being left behind or ignored. these efforts will help all of us affected by retrogression and stuck in different stages.

All those who have contributed please send me the details via private message so that this thread does not get swamped - I will work on it next weekend.
Thanks ramaonline for your help. Instead of relying on PMs lets open a new thread... The PM folder may overflow -- I think opening a new thread and asking contributing members to respond will be a better idea. Should I open the thread?

I need urgent advice from you. As you know my wife is on F1 visa and completed most of her credit hours needed by school. She has get only 1 credit hr to complete the course. However, that�s below 9 hr full time student status. She has been asked to register for additional 8 hrs..and pay tuition fee accordingly ( > 8K). Which I think is unreasonable. They told her that if she doesn�t register by tomorrow they have to report it to INS. She told them that she has EAD..there answer doesn�t matter in order to remain in school and F1 visa she has to register.
My questions is:
1) Can she continue working on her Thesis on her EAD and AP ?
2) What will happen to her f1 if she use EAD
In response to these questions my Lawyer said
1.) yes, she can continue to be a student as an adjustment applicant � she can work using the EAD and travel using the AP.
2) she is basically no longer an F-1 because she has demonstrated immigrant intent by filing the adjustment. Which is fine � she has valid legal status as an adjustment applicant and can work with the EAD and travel with the AP.
What do pro�s think..:)

Hi all,
I am from Grand Rapids. I'd like to help.
I think, It would be a good idea to get an approximate count of legal immigrants who are stuck in the GC process in Michigan. We should use these numbers to write to our Senator and make them feel that the State of Michigan is not about americans only, its about us as well.
What are you thoughts? Amit, do you want me to email you on your email address?
thanks
Akhilesh.

if you have EAD and 140 is approved (And 180 passed since 485filed), then why are you worried about H1 status ?
am I missing something here ..I let my H1 expire and am using EAD now.
I had another question - if one has EAD and 140 is approved (and 180 days passed and a person does not hav H1) - then how long can that person stay unemployed ? please reply if you know ..Thanks !!
I read in some other thread. I believe that you can be unemployed till you get I-485 approval. If I-485 is not yet approved, then you become out of status and in the case of no fall back upon, one needs to leave the country within 180 days.

Government dictates the rule for granting F1 non-immigrant visa and eligibility of a school or its programs to admit students under such provisions. When a student is at the school, the school/department has full control on what are the conditions for an international student to be on a valid visa. For example, some schools enforce 9 credit requirements per semester while other requires 12 (so yes school dictates these details) or some have no such requirements such as Kaplan/Language schools etc. There are other details too like duration of completion and criteria for expulsion. In violation of any of these conditions each school can cancel F1 status based on its own rules. Government doesn't dictate on what criteria can a school expel a student and thereby voiding his/her F1 visa status.
As for intent, merely showing an intent is different from actually changing visa status. F1 with a pending AOS is a gray area for precisely the same reason. The best thing an F1 student could do is to complete the course meeting the F1 criteria of possible and/or switch to EAD by formally taking up an employment and filing I-9 which will be same as changing status explicitly.
As for previous non-immigrant status it remains so until one uses EAD regardless of what that status was. There is no ambiguity in it, that's why people obtain EAD and never use it to maintain their previous non-immigrant status. If you maintain a valid F1 status and say your I-485 is denied you are still safe because your F1 status is still valid, it didn't go away just because you showed an intent to immigrate by filing I-485. That's what I was suggesting to original poster, if for some reason you prefer to maintain non-immigrant status you should keep either F1 or H4 whichever is convenient to you.
The school policies does not determine whether someone can be on F1 status or not. Government has laid down the rules for F1 status. School cant say that one has to take so many credit hrs for that person to be on F1. The rule is that to maintain F1 status, one has to be a full time student with minimum 3 courses , thats 9 credit hrs, but the exception is the final semester where that student can have less then 9 credit hrs.
Plus since the F1 is not a dual intent visa type , when someone applies for 485 , the F1 status is forfitted. what you are mentioning about the previous non-immigrant visa status continues even after obtaining EAD and remain so until EAD is used only applies to the non-immigrant status like H1 , H4 , L1 etc which are dual intent visa types. For F1 your statement does not apply.

dates make no sense
The dates for H4 I 539 renewal are struck at 14th June 2007 where as most of people who filed their renewal's have already got it. These dates are meaningless.
No. That means ALL cases filed before 14th June07 have been processed. You may have filed on July 1st might have been processed, but this has no relevance to the previous statement.
That's why I think all the 485s filed before July 27th 2007 at NSC have undergone some processing, if not completed.
Problem cases, those which may need RFEs may get notified in the coming weeks.

This is about illegals. Do not fall for that trap.
These organizations are looking for bodies to send faxes. Illegals do not know computer and English. But programmers who sit in a cubicle all day and have plenty of time to go on websites and post, are a perfect fit to further the agenda of this organization.
Just ask yourself:
Has this organization leader spoken to you or IV asking for support and promised that they will work for legals?
So why are you promoting them?
They will not do anything for you if CIR comes.
Ganguteli, I hope you are not just a 'body'. Has anyone on this thread faxed anything through that website supporting illegals?? People @ IV (may be not all) are smart enough to use their tool for our advantage.

How confident can Nikon users be that Nikon can maintain pace in the professional DSLR arena?
While pros are buyers for high-end DSLR, there are many serious hobbyists and rich individuals (majority?) for that market too.
What does a MAP $4,500 1D-II meant to me, a long time Nikon loyalist waiting anxiously to switch to Canon? I don't expect to get a 1D-II lower than the MAP price before 2004 year end. If I need the pixs, a $2,600 14MP Kodak 14n is extremely attractive for landscape now. I can opt for a used D1x around $2,000 too.
For a cost sensitive person like me (not can't but don't), I am NOT getting the 1D-II, and switch, not soon. Am I the extreme minority? George, the manufacturing jobs have gone to China, and more IT jobs are going to India. We are bleeding; come down here and see it yourself!

If he stayed for 180 days and used AC21 then AC21 WILL protect this person
Not exactly. That person has more leverage, even if he/she does not worked 180 days after filing 485. How? If that first guy worked considerable period of time with that employer in H1B status, and if that guy was working with that employer when that (fradulant?) employer filed LC and 140, he has a strong intent to work for that employer. In no court employer can win. Even if that guy left with in 2 months after 485 filing date, he is so safe.
Read the recent AC21 memo. It clarly says one can leave the sponsering employer before 6 months of 485 pending, if the intent is strong in both parties at the time of filing 485. The AC21 rule is that, a if 485 is not adjudicated in 180 days, it is a valid one for a new job which is similar to the orginal one. That does not mean that one has to wait atleast 6 months to change the job.
Here is the part of memo
Question 10. Should service centers or district offices deny portability cases on the sole basis that the alien has left his or her employment with the I-140 petitioner prior to the I-485 application pending for 180 days?
Answer: No. The basis for adjustment is not actual (current) employment but prospective employment. Since there is no requirement that the alien have ever been employed by the petitioner while the I-140 and/or I-485 was pending, the fact that an alien left the I-140 petitioner before the I-485 has been pending 180 days will not necessarily render the alien ineligible to port. However, in all cases an offer of employment must have been bona fide. This means that, as of the time the I-140 was filed and at the time of filing the I-485 if not filed concurrently, the I-140 petitioner must have had the intent to employ the beneficiary, and the alien must have intended to undertake the employment, upon adjustment. Adjudicators should not presume absence of such intent and may take the I-140 and supporting documents themselves as prima facie evidence of such intent, but in appropriate cases additional evidence or investigation may be appropriate.

One possible reason is that Americans just don't want people smarter than them to come here and have the high paying jobs, create companies and have success on their own country.
It's OK to have a bunch of illegal immigrants to do the dirty work.
Let's think as a modern slavery. They want to be in command, to be the boss. It's their nature. And they just don't accept skilled immigrants coming here and taking the top positions from them. They want people who just take orders - from Americans.
I dont agree with that coment. Whether it is an american/foreigner, if you are not suitably qualified (work skill and knowledge + Social / managerial / personal) you are destined to be in the recieving mode all your life. Now I do agree that being in a foreign country, always it would be easier for the natives to reach the managerial position faster, compared to a foreigner. So what we can do is improve our skills and be more confident about ourselves. The american citizens have been exposed to years of economic prosperity that has lead to the belief that even if they dont study / work hard the country will provide them the jobs to enjoy life. When suddenly they find that they are not enjoying the same liberty (chaning jobs as they wish, bargaining for more pay, employer at employees mercy kind of thing) they are unhappy and are starting to complain. Now regarding ilegal immig doing dirty work, its not the fault of the american employer. Its because the workers find, what you call as dirty job, better than what they have at home.
