Thanks for contacting IV with your SOS.
An IV core member is going to be helping you to fix this with USCIS. Let us know if you need help. He already tried contacting you yesterday.
As IV grows maybe this is a help IV can extend to all its donor members and help them if they get in such extreme distress situations. This is one of the ideas we are thinking for our members in the donor group.
I appreciate your response even if the guy is not a donor. Great job.

With the new rule on FBI name checks, a potential 47K with current PDs could get their GS's soon. I wonder how much of a shift we will see in the PD's from now, after the 47K is not taken into account. I would predict a minimum of atleast a year jump, or am I being optimistic. :confused:

Based on what I heard(my experience too), if your attorney submits your I485 along with EAD and AP, you don't get a FP on the EAD card. When you apply for EAD online, then you will do a FP based on the FP notice that you will get later.
To activate EAD, you need to go to SSN office and apply for new SSN and once you get your new SSN, you are all set.
This is only my experience. For expert advice, always check with a qualified attorney
My wife will be on H1(currently on H4) october onwards...we received our EAD's yesterday. Can I still go and apply for SSN? I mean will that mean she is on EAD and H1 no longer valid?

I don't see a reason why you want to campaign, is it just because this months visa bulletin didn't make you happy?
Sending flowers and telling USCIS how to fix their issues will not help. We must stop and think first before we ask them to do this and than.
Good to see the count already three (here) in just 30 min of posting this idea (IV's one of the peaceful ways). So I am sure there will be huge response. Please spread this message as much as you can, and see if we can gather a good #.
ALSO we will have to wait for IV Admin to approve this, as I am just a junior member and dont have that capacity. WE MUSt start one more campaign.
Please spread this among your friends and make a difference. On this INdependence eve, lets work in the same lines as those great people did. We may like one leader or we may not like due to their approaches. But one most common thing you will see in all is UNity in what they did and strength came from there.

Some one pointed out in another thread, that the USCIS FAQ mentioned that only a 'subset' of the potential 47k cases have namecheck pending for more than 180 days. So may be not all of the 47k cases (even those with current PDs) may be eligible to qualify under 180 day FBI namecheck auto approval rule. Thus not all 47k cases will be approved by the mid March deadline that USCIS mentioned.

That's very correct. But I think AILA or concerned folks like us should ask USCIS to clarify their stand on it. I am sure they will do it soon.
Also, an approved extsnsion with the new employer is by no means a approval of your valid status. Simply speaking, there are various H1B approvals granted "that were approvable at the time of application". This doesn't mean that status is valid for the entire duration, one has to maintain the status by keeping the job etc and meeting the other requirements of approved H1B petition. That's true for extensions too it MIGHT be valid/approvable at the time of filling when your I-140 was approved and not revoked. If revoked you could be potentially out of status if indeed that was the CONDITION of the approval.
Unless we know that CONDITION of approval (it could be unconditional approval too but it must be stated) we are not sure. If the USCIS later clarifies that CONDITION it could be applied retroactively and that means one is out of status during the whole time after the I-140 was revoked.
I am not saying this will happen but it is essential to find out the CONDITION of apporval whatever it may be.
The USCIS has not taken any official position on whether they would allow the after I-140 3-year extension to be transferred to another employer.
Using this loophole looks like many of us have actually sucessfully tranferred the H1B to a new employer after the 6 year limit..
As long as USCIS does not release any regulations...We can do this ....
If asked officialy some attorneys say that it cannot be done and some are fine with that...
Immigration laws are kind of applied sporadically and can be pushed to a certain extent

This is also key for people having questions about travel on AP:
AILA requests that USCIS confirm in a policy memorandum that an individual whose application for adjustment of status remains pending is lawfully present in the United States regardless of the fact that the individuals advance parole related Form I-94 may have expired.
Response: No unlawful presence begins to accrue upon the expiration of an I-94 where the subject of the I-94 has an I-485 properly pending before USCIS.
We will review whether your concerns warrant clarification in the form of a policy memorandum.

I agree that IV should be focused, but this doesn't mean that all the tasks within that focus group need to be worked on in one go. I was just suggesting that excluding dependents from visa numbers is something that we can probably add to a forthcoming bill. Or at the very least, let dependents file for I-485 without the requirement that PD of the primary applicant be current. Just think about it, the main reason why the majority of the members are happy now is because they expect to get EADs for their spouses so they can start working, not because their GCs will be obtained any sooner. Let's not forget a potentially sizable portion of our member base (whether they have already contributed is another matter, this might actually inspire them all to contribute) who while thankful to IV are unsure of what lies ahead for them and their (future) spouses.
And yes, my sympathies out to the labor backlog victims too. With hundreds of thousands of people applying for their AOS now, I wonder when they would be able to file for their I485 at all. The same question is being asked by many singles as well.

I saw this on an anti immigrant site by a M*****r.
Hope some of you will learn a lesson from it and stop posting threads about Telgus, Eb3 vs Eb2.
I have also seen posts by ignorant educated illiterates on IV where they advice people to do illegal things. Some of you own consulting firms or businesses and try to promote it by posting and sending Private messages. If we see such message, let us give reds and report to IV. We also need to discourage people from answering wrong info to posts where someone is illegal/out of status. All this used against us.
They are right to be worried. The L-1 has more restrictions on it than the H-1B, because of a crackdown about 5-6 years ago (if memory serves). They were interpreting ANY IT skill as 'specialized knowledge' that would justify bringing in their folks, then shopping them out to displace ours. Even that notorious traitor, Harris Miller (former head of ITAA) warned them to cut it out, but Hindu hubris prevailed. Until the crackdown. There are two types of L-1 visa, one for managers and one for subject specialists.
One interesting thing: over on Immigration Voice and on any board that allows posts, as soon as we start nailing the problems of the H-1B visa, they start whining, 'what about the L-1' and 'what about the illegals from Mexico' (as in, go worry about them and leave us alone). When the seat gets really hot for them, then the internal ethnic and caste hostilities often start to show. 'It's those gultis' (Andhra Pradeshis), 'It's those gujjus' (Gujaratis), 'It's those greedy Banias' (large merchant class), 'It's the northerners (or southerners)' and so on and so forth.
Another interesting thing: In all the years that I've been watching Immigrationvoice.org, I've seen many situations where an H-1B has fallen out of status. Firing, layoff, botched job switch, etc. In only ONE case have I seen the advice be, "pack your bags." There are a million loopholes that Americans might be outraged to learn about. 8-9 years ago, the average American had no clue about guestworkers visas, but now they know something has gone very wrong in the job market.

From a Constitution standpoint, Obama believes the Congress should pass the law and his executive branch will implement it.
Unfortunately, thanks to the filibuster, the senate is broken and nothing important has gotten passed. The Health care bill was watered down to make it almost useless.
He seems to forget that he also has a role of a leader to move the country in the right direction even if it may be unpopular.
There are issues that have over 60% support (eg. Don't ask Don't tell, Legal immigration issues, Energy tax credit, etc.) that he can support via executive orders but refuses to do so from a standpoint of the Constitution.
So, we are at
the Left are frustrated because he has abandoned their core issues
the Independents are frustrated because of the Job market and benefits from Health care won't kick in till 2012, etc.
the very small moderate right does not like him because of differences in policies
the rest of extreme right hates him since they think he was born in Kenya or black guy should not be the president.
It will be interesting to see what this election changes :)

Thanks for bringing this up.. This is a legitimate concern.. Lets just hope this doesn't happen to any of us... Although hope is all we can do for now...:(
Has anyone considered the implications of identity theft, fraud etc if the USCIS does start returning the adjustment of status applications? When my daughter applied for adjustment of status a couple of years ago her application was rejected erroneously and returned to her. When she opened the package, it not only contained her information, but also someone else's highly confidential and personal documents. The documents were completely mixed in with hers - all out of order - and even the other person's check was returned to her. The person's case was also very time sensitive and of an extremely confidential nature.
We gathered up the information and personally returned it the local USCIS office - who told us it happens all the time! We sent a letter to the person concerned telling him what had happened and advising him to contact the office immediately.
Imagine what might happen if the USCIS starts returning the 1000's of July applications. There is a good possibility they could mix up applications, return them to wrong addresses or lose valuable paperwork. They certainly won't return applications via Fedex or UPS - they'll just throw them in the mail without any way to track them.
Many green card applicants, have social security numbers and have been working for years to build good a credit history. Anyone getting hold of these packages will have access to all personal history, addresses and of course the bank account information on the checks sent to pay the application fees. Just a thought . . .

My wife will be on H1(currently on H4) october onwards...we received our EAD's yesterday. Can I still go and apply for SSN? I mean will that mean she is on EAD and H1 no longer valid?
In my case my wife was on H4. She had to activate EAD to begin working. For that reason she applied for a new SSN.
Based on my limited knowledge, if anybody activate's EAD and begins working on that EAD, they'll lose their H status. Experts need to confirm this.
This is based on my limited knowledge. For expert advice, always consult a qualified attorney

Let us say I accumulate 40 points and return to India for good. Do I still get Social Security in India if -
1. I am a US Citizen living in India?
2. If I am a GC holder living in India?
3. I am neither a US citizen nor a GC holder living in India?
Any helpful links are appreciated. I have tried to calculate benefits using Social Security benefits calculator, but if you key in residence outside USA and non-citizen, it does not work...
With citizens of India, it is full penson benefits, what ever it is (earned based on contributions). You don't get medicare type of thing.
For citizens of countries like Canada, it is limited by windfall limits. People who worked in both US and Canada become elligible for too much retirement benefits and it is curtailed by limits.
So in nutshell, any treaty may worsen benefits of 10 or 10+ Social Security Contributers.
