USCIS reverses its rule. I-485 can now be submitted without medicals. RFE will be sent for that.

Last time around exactly the same time in 2006 CIR took off like crazy because of the tremendous backing of Senate Judiciary committee chairman Arlen Specter and Senate majority Leader Bill Frist (who actually gave a deadline for a the bill to be introduced to the senate floor, to speed it up) and president bush supporting it as well. In spite of all these it took the senate from Feb-march 2006 to around September 2006 to get it passed.
Now to the present situation, Harry Reid, the current majority leader never ever publicly spoke one good word about CIR, the present senate judiciary committee chairman, Patrick J. Leahy has not displayed even 1/100 the urgency nor the interest in CIR, president Bush though still supporting CIR is a wounded president licking his wounds and has truly become a lame duck president (most unfortunately for us).
Having considered the above facts what are the chances of CIR happening? Its very painful to say that but I think very low. Even by a miracle (a very big miracle at that) if something happens it will be November or December 2007 before it passes.
As if this not painful enough there is a 60 day waiting period from the day the president signs it before it becomes a law. I think there is some confusion on this 60 day period (I am not 100% sure on this). In addition to it if I remember correctly there was a strange condition which was something like there would be a 6 month investigation period to determine the effects of CIR before becoming a law. If you add all this nonsense up I think in the best case scenario January or February 2008 before CIR becomes law and worst case scenario July or August 2008 to become a law. just my 2 cents. I can only pray and hope I am wrong.
There are some inaccuracies in your post:
The CIR in the Senate passed on 25th May 2006. Bill number S. 2611 of 109th congress. (See for this on thomas.loc.gov )
The 60 day waiting period is something that may be removed this year as this year, the Dems are in control.
I can go on and on about why CIR did not become a law in 2006. However if one were allowed just one phrase to describe the reason why CIR didnt happen in 2006, is : United States House of Representatives (http://www.house.gov/).
If you remember, in Nov 2005, the house had already pass its own CIR. They called it CIR, but no one else called it that. Its was H.R. 4437. Created by dear Chairman Jim Sensenbrenner. The bill provided for making illegal presence a felony and basically deporting 11 million already here. That was the House's CIR.
What happens this year, even God cannot predict. What we've said here at IV, is CIR will come in SENATE, in March-April. It will be debated and passed in Senate, most likely, just like last year. After that, as far as the House is concerned, it remains to be seen how much pressure the White House and Senate can put on them. Basically, if the White House were to direct a few more raids by ICE on some meat packing plants and some construction, that's all it takes for the House to be shamed into doing something about a widespread problem unless it wants to be called a do-nothing congress.
Now we cannot predict if the above course of events will take place. Its impossible to predict. Some people (on other sites) have laid out percentages like 20% chance this will happen, 80% chance that will happen. That's really laughable.

Under Post decision activity it will mention a date :
"we approved this petition and sent it on date -->
This date is when they mailed your green card.
If you do not receive it in 7 days after that date (that is mentioned on "post decision activity" message, you need to check with your local post man/post office and then consider infopass to see what has happened.
The card comes in a "neutral looking envelope" with "return service requested"marked on it and upper left corner has address of Nebraska or Missouri (two places where they are produced). Nothing else on that envelope (it is slightly large than norma envelope): keep looking for it in your mail.
Good Lcuk.

We are not here illegally. We are proud to be highly skilled, in demand and in America to improve American competitiveness.
The National Anthem was sung (and thank you Panjak, you bought a tear to my eye) as we are waiting patiently in line.
It was sung as a mark of respect to the country of which we aspire to eventually become citizens of. Its the same reason we held the American and State flags up high and proud during the walk.
It is a powerful statement
Sorry to whoever left me some nasty negative comment. I merely meant to say it was sung in respect for the country we are in. It is common courtesy.
I apologize for having upset you by my comment.

VOTES. That's what these politicians are after.
What is 0.5 million against 12 million? In addition, this is pandering to Hispanics who have a huge representation in this country. They don't have a sense of Legal Vs Illegal. Even if it's an illegal hispanic, the legal hispanics will support him because most hispanics have a distorted feeling that somehow they're 'entitled' to be here and the laws don't apply to them. I am not denigrating them but I have read about what they feel (from non-partisan blogs and articles) and it's scary what their agenda is. It's sad but that's what the reality is.
We 'legal' immigrants are here to work hard and contribute but I'm sure we don't have any 'hidden' agenda of changing the cultural fabric of this country. These people do and we should be concerned about it too if we plan to live here for a long time. There might soon be a day when 'English' will disappear and be replaced by 'Spanish'. They have done it in a lot of places in the border states.

That's pretty much what my lawyer told me.
Okay. I was able to talk to my attorney just a few minutes ago. He said, to do interfiling , you do not need to have PD current based on new I-140 as this is just a case update with new 140 information. He said that in any case, your 485 will be picked based on PD. I found him very very confident when he was telling me all this info to me.

Ivar, thanks for the info. I am thinking of applying for porting now.How long does it typically take to process. Also was there any audit you are aware of that came for your case?
I do not have master's degree but I have 10+ years of experience and my job requirements are also for managing a team etc.

please don't post information you are not sure of. unless employer withdraws H1 there is no way USCIS can know of this. (Employers are not legally bound to file for H1 withdrawal) Also I would like to know the source of your 'zero tolerance' policy in regards to H1. In fact they forgive upto 6 months of 'unauthorized' employment when processing I-485. (http://www.murthy.com/news/n_nscuna.html). If they wanted to have 'zero tolerance' they would have forced employers to withdraw H1 or atleast inform USCIS of layoff.
Also you say "one should inform USCIS before I-485 is approved'. Again this is wrong information.
Please do not start fear mongering based on incomplete information.
This is not fear mongering. You DO NOT have a grace period for H1B termination as you do on F1-OPT or anything similar.
The right way to stay in H1 status is to get a transfer BEFORE the termination date on your H1B.
In reality however, USCIS may not look at it from a zero tolerance policy while ACTUALLY adjudicating the case. They may approve the transfer if the paystubs are "RECENT" enough or may send an RFE. The usual criteria for recent is two weeks or sometimes upto a month. Anything longer is at your own risk.
The 6 month period hoolahous refers to in the link is for "UNAUTHORIZED EMPLOYMENT" meaning working for an employer other than your H1b sponsoring entity usually the H1B petition is still valid. I believe that is not the case here.
If you would like to stay on H1 status, my suggestion would be to apply for a transfer with another employer before the end date of your current job.
If that does not work, you always have the option of using EAD to get another job, but in the meantime your status should be fine as you have filed for your 485 and you will be in AOS.
As always, check with an attorney for your specific situation and use your best judgement.
Good Luck!

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.

I am on H-1B and wife on H-4. We did not get our stimulus payment last year since she does not have SSN.
For people who did not receive stimulus payment last year can claim it this year. So for people like me whose wives are on ITIN, can get $600 back this year or so I think. The way to do this can be:
First file Married filing separately, claim $600 credit and then amend it to file married filing jointly. IRS will not ask stimulus back. Let me know your thoughts on this idea. I wish I could get $1200 but hey even $600 is better than nothing.
Any thoughts??

I think its good idea to try to add just one demand i.e. I-485 filing provision without current priority date into Supplemental resolution bill. But I think it will be really nice to try to get ability to change employer without waiting for six months(after filing 485) into the bill also. So that person can invoke AC21 without waiting for six months. I think both of these provisions go hand in hand.
Does anybody know when the next session is starting and when are they going to start discussing this bill and when will we be able to find out if our provisions are there or not?

I think you can get a letter from employer stating that they can not employ you any more. I am not sure if they issue a letter to every person that loses the job. Just make sure that your intention to work with the sponsering employer is documented somehow .
I have an idea here ... just write an email to your boss or HR stating "how good company has been to you and how they helped you with your immigration process and given a choice you would rather work with the same company"
Take a printout of all these emails and save them if you still have a chance. You can use all these to prove if you run into any problems during the naturalization process.
Apart from these things collect the news paper clips or company wide emails that talk about downsizing. These things should help you to prove your intentions if there is a query about your intentions at the time of naturalization.
If you think company will survive for 5 or 10 more years , just keep in touch with your HR
I got a letter saying they can not give me my job back dated 5 days after my approval.
I show up told them I was approved, they say sorry we have not sold anything on those 3 months, we are doing bad, cannot take you back.
They dont have any problems with it and I can wait 10 years to become a citizen if that is what it takes.

I received RFE on my 140 on nov 15th. I came to know about this when i checked the status online. It says on Nov 15th we mailed you a notice requesting further evidence . I-140 Receipt date is dec 11 2006. I do not yet know what the RFE is about. How many days does it take for the RFE to arrive normally ??
As USCIS sends out the RFE in regular mail, it takes about 4/5 business days to get it in hand. The lawyer and employer will add their buffer if they are busy or if the RFE is related to the employer, etc. The reason being once you know about the RFE you would get on top of them to send a response. They will use this opportunity to make bottom line money.
One good thing that USCIS had done is put time constraints on the RFE's (Though I don’t support this 100% as there are drawbacks). In earlier days the employer used to send response after 3/4 months so that they could delay the case as long as they can to have you tied down.
As I-140 is an employer's document, you might not have much say in this case. I suggest you to take it easy and watch out carefully in your benefit. Obtain a copy of the RFE before you do anything as there are lots of professional fraud lawyers out there who will do anything to make money.
I wish you good luck in your I-140 case.
