Somebody please help me...
Do I see any update in online status of my I485, If USCIS sends me FP notice. Filling date is July 10th. I received everything else (Receipts, AP, EAD) but FP notice. If I call USCIS, do they help me find my FP notice status??? Please help...
Thanks

Thank u so much for the info you've collected. In my case, PP expiry is sometime in August. So no issues with that. And I assume the I-94 date issue is applicable only if I used the AP instead of AVR while coming back.
And yes, as per Murthy's site, I'd be carrying the telegram with me to show the IO if needed. And yes...you are right. Its only good NOT to lie to the IO at the POE and promptly tell him that I had been to Canada for landing purpose. But the negative side to this would be a possible RFE on the pending 485 as per this link: http://murthyforum.atinfopop.com/4/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=1024039761&f=3274000912&m=8451014631&showpollresults=Y
After analysing the situation on that link, I think its wise NOT to LAND in Canada for a PR status while 485 is pending although some people can get lucky if the IO doesn't notice. Some IOs (who are good :)) might even not make an entry on your record even after knowing that you are back from Canada after accepting PR which is another luck scenario. But in the worst case scenario, an RFE on 485 is definitely not a good sign even if there could be ways to get thru it by replying back with reason etc...Bottom line, the 485 adjudication can take a while and might even get rejected with this RFE what with all the stringent laws and scrutinization.
Thoughts appreciated...
If you go through the thread for I-485 RFE on Canadian PR it mentions that
“Service records shows that you filed canadian P.R after you submitted your application for P.R in US.”
As long as you have applied for Canadian PR before filing for US GC there shouldn’t be any problems. My best guess for the source of this RFE is the FBI finger printing submitted towards Canadian PR and not the IO at the POE.

Consulare processing means, you have to go out of the country to your home country and over there you have an interview for an immigrant visa. If approved you come to the states with that visa and receive GC here. If denied, consular processing CANNOT be appealed. The decision is usually final. When you do I485, whcih is adjustment of status, you stay in the US and if gets denied you CAN appeal the decision. To be eligible for adjustment of status in the U.S. one must show he/she never violated non-immigrant status until the I485 was filed(since last entry).
If you file I140 while being on F1, that could be taken as "violation of non-immigrant" status. It is advisable to change to a dual intent visa before filing for I485. Such visas are H1 and L1.
I am not attorney so don't take my answers for granted.

Well I had explored this option quite extensively too and
gave up my canadian PR after seeing that its not a viable option.
PR residents and canadian citizens need to get nexus pass at the border if they intend to live in canada and work in us. You need to undergo an extensive interview with US CBP. where in quite a lot of documents and neccessity are questioned and evaualted by US authorities. Also there is no guarantee that one would get it inspite of undergoing the interview. Its like acquiring a visa. If you say you had been living in US for the last 7-10 yrs and now tell them you are moving to canada because you want to work in US, that might be a problem.

Cars coming into Canada and USA are checked and custom duties applied even for half eaten sandwiches. This causes uncertain wait times and delayes
Not many IT jobs(not sure what you are) in detroit area and you need to maintain your H1 status. What if your projects ends in detroit what would you do?
There are many more issues, can't explain all here.
Bascially nexus is a good option for canadian citizens not for PR.
I am an EB3 India applicant with a PD of August 2001. Cant file I 485 due to retro so cant get AP or EAD for spouse. I am currently in 7th yr of H1 and will soon be applying for 3 yr extension for 8,9,10 th yr based on approved I 140.
I am also a Canadian PR and one option is to move to Canada. However one option which I have been researching seriously lately is to live in Windsor, Ontario and work in Detroit , Michigan.
Windsor and Detroit are both Urban areas and twin cities on each side of the border connected by bridge and a tunnel. From Windsor most of Detroit metro is only 1 hrs drive. Downtown Detroit is only half hr drive.
Here are some advantages to this.
1) You keep your H1 B visa, and US Salary.
2) You earn time towards maintaining your Canadian residency and even Canadian Citizenship.
3) You have best of both worlds. (US Salaries opportunities, Canadian healthcare/social benefits).
4) Spouse can work in Canada and keep H4 also.
5) Can continue GC process without loss of security.
6) Visit other cities in US. ie even if spouse /fly is in other city you can easily commute once a month etc.
7) Once you get GC you can always move back to US.
Disadvantages
1) Crossing border each day (normally not an issue but border gets busy on some days).
2) Paying Canadian income tax.
3) Only possible if you get transfer to Detroit or new job there.
4) If you own home etc or your wife is studying etc you may have to live separately for some time.
Has anyone done this or knows anyone who has done this ? In theory and on paper its a good idea. Apparently thousand of ppl (even non immigrants) do this both ways.
Any insights anyone can share ? This may be good option in many cases.
Thanks

Isn't the UK issue different.
They are trying to change rules retroactively. There is no such thing going on here.
A similar stance would be if in midstream: lawmakers changed retroactively that only if the job makes more then $150,000 it is qualified for EB2; only companies with revenues of over $20 million can apply for greencards. If they changed the rules retroactively in USA which would preclude people who are already in line; then you would see massive amounts of protests.
However; what is happening in UK is not the same issue here. Same thing happened in Canada a few years ago when they changed the point system and wanted to do it for people retroactively.

If anyone from this group is visiting India in the near future, it might be helpful if you can arrange an audience with Ravi.....and make him aware of the concerns/issues..
What does the IV admin group have to say about this!?
Sure, Let me know if anyone would be going...I will try my level best.

Murthy's lawyer suggested Consular processing as an option.
She explained that in Consular processing I still need continued Sponsorship from my firm, but it will revoke my 485 application. I will end up filling bunch of forms with USCI, including 824.
This was my PD will remain intact and when it becomes current, I will have to go to Indian Consulate and get Immigrant Visa from there.
IN this whole process My firm needs to continue sponsor my GC processing. Advantage is : I don't have to come and renew my EAD and AP every year.

"fairly common"? But what does it indicate? And where has the case moved to?

My wife worked as a consultant for first half of 2008 with a desi employer as an employee (on W-2). After many calls and emails we received W-2 Thursday that has income and taxes of only first two months. Now he says that he showed remaining 4 months as his profit so he can only send 1099. Please advise if I can take any legal action against this employer.
Thank you

sbind,
Going to Initial Review after approval is scary but normal when you get done FP after approval. I think if you have the I-797 approval then there is nothing to worry about. If you follow a thread in tracki*t you will know that couple of people also got similar status change after FP.

Actions speak louder than words... Lou Dobbs says Microsoft has waged war against the American middleclass by taking the company to Canada. But that hasn't stopped the company from starting a development center in Canada, nor has the company cared to answer Lou Dobbs in a press release or anything. What I am saying is, we should not care about what Lou Dobbs thinks or says on his show. As long as we being here helps grow the American economy, nobody cares about what Lou Dobbs thinks!!!

It is so pathetic that there are so much people waiting in EB3-I category.
This Guy just applied in Dec 2004 and got GC. His question is whether i need to carry ?
it is only karma.
I feel for you buddy. You can't be hating the player....you got to hate the game. This is exactly how I felt when 2006 PDs were getting approved last year. You are totally right....GC depends on your Karma.

Andy,
Thanks for the pointer on the 539 processing.
Does the H4 approval need to be in hand if my wife were to change her status to H1? (or) Is there an option in I 129 where she can refer to the pending I 539.

IMO, it might backfire as...'What da xxxx is in it for legal immigrants?'( depending upon ones mood at that time)
I'm more for a lowered tone...request, that is.
Thanks hsingh82! for the post and validating the site.
Leo, that was just a suggestion - as I said, feel free to modify as you deem appropriate! The important thing is to send the faxes so we can draw attention to our plight!

Hi Cobra,
I would say...do not lose heart. I hope your case gets resolved soon. My friends who have gone for stamping lately have faced such problems. Almost all of them....one in Delhi consulate, another in Kolkata and another in chennai. they got 221g and had to over stay their vacation. But eventually all three of them could make it at the end. As long as you are able to provide all the docs they ask for, you should be good.
Regards,
vj

You should be allocated a visa number if nothing is wrong with your application... If its quite old as it looks to be, they may issue an RFE for EVL.. and you can respond asap and still be optimystic.. Chances are high that you'll get a Visa number assigned to you if the quota doesn't finish in the first week of March... Actual approval can come months later even if the PD has retrogressed...
So chill and prepare for EVL or straight approval...
Name check is irrelevant now.. Its 180 days from when FBI name check was initiated.. Its normally around your Notice Date...
Though my PD is quite old , I didn't get to my I-140 filing until Jan 2007 thanks to the labor certification backlog hell. It was filed premium and approved in Jan 07 itself. And also my I-485 was filed in last week of July. So the information USCIS has is kind of recent. And I have stayed with the same employer so far (One of world's well reputed & largest IT company)
I hope they look at these facts and dont bother sending an RFE or EVL and send me the straight approval ! (Fingers crossed and touch wood and whatever else !)

One of my friend got EAD 2 year back even though his priority date was not came. Ofcourse this was even b4 this mess created USCIS. He was still using his H1 till couple months back, he is afraid of USCIS may roll back his EAD since PD is not yet reached.
I do heared 11 people from Infxxxx company got EAD even though their PD was not current. They are saying by mistake send the package but they got EAD.
I do know personally that person on the 1st paragraph, on the 2nd paragraph I dont have any evidence.....
Just sharing this information to help this thread, hope there may be lot more cases got EAD without PD even before this mess they have created.:D
You don't need your PD to be current for EAD/AP
