I am currently waiting on my 485 (EB2). My priority date is Sept 16 2005, and 485 date is Aug 27 2007. I have traveled out of the country and back on advance parole and am still on H1 as I am still with the same company. My current advance parole ends in Jan 31 2010. I have to travel again in the first week of Feb 2010. I applied for another advance parole at the TSC on Aug 31 2009 for both my Wife and I. My Wife got her parole in a week, but I am yet to receive it.
I checked the USCIS site for the time frame and it says 3 months for TSC. I am thinking I might not have received it yet as I have a parole which is active. But I want to make the travel reservations now and I wanted a confirmed parole. USCIS said that they could put in an expedited request for the parole if it is an emergency. My lawyer says not to worry as I had applied in August, I had plenty of time to receive it.
Please advice. What should I do.

All too often, it seems that some examiners at USCIS Service Centers are just looking for a way to deny petitions. Long-standing policies are ignored and new theories are advanced to deny perfectly-qualified applicants for immigration benefits. A few months ago, a few examiners decided on their own that M.B.B.S. degrees which are issued to physicians from British Commonwealth countries were not equivalent to M.D. degrees issued by medical schools in the U.S. As a result, many petitions and applications were denied on this basis. After much protest from the medical community, the USCIS in Washington got involved, and the...

Hello -
Can anyone suggest if there is a way to check the priority date on a I-485 application after an interfile request has been made? I am not sure if a call to the Service Center is the only way, or if there is a form I can submit requesting this information.
The context of my question is this: My original I-485 application was filed based on a LC/I-140 approved by PERM with PD May 2005. But later, as part of backlog elimination, an older LC for me with PD Aug 2004 was cleared and my company's immigration law firm got another I-140 approved based on this earlier LC. They've told me that they contacted USCIS with a request to get my I-485 attached to the older PD. I would like to get this confirmed since a 9 month gap in PDs can easily translate to years more of waiting time.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help out or suggest if I should be doing anything different with getting the PD of my I-485 changed.

I spoke with TSC Rep today. I called up to re-check what lot of other guys are saying here that TSC no longer is honoring 180 day namecheck rule mandated by court few months back.
TSC Rep said she has no idea about 180 day rule but knows about FBI/USCIS joint effort for clearing name checks pending more than year, 2 years etc.
So atleast, my call suggested that some people at USCIS have no idea about 180 days rule mandaged by court.

Dear All,
As I work for a consulting company and my previous lawyer was my employer's ass kisser, I decided to go for a new lawyer.
(1) Will the new lawyer need any documents from old lawyer? As such I have copies of everything till now
(2) My employer is in Dallas and I am on a project in New Jersey, but my petition is for my permanant work location in Dallas - is it advisable to choose a lawyer from Dallas (future employment area) or NYC/NJ where I currently have my project (i plan to stay here for a while) - what is the general take - physical accessibility to lawyer or choose lawyer close to company location?
(3) How hard is it to find lawyers? Last month when dates moved considerably - I heard lawyers have been stressed and over burdened over the mad rush of petitions and have been least responsive - will lawyers take new cases in such situations???
(4) Can anyone suggest a communicative lawyer? The best of all :)
Thanks for your responses

Hello,
We have our 485 interview's next week @ the Baltimore Field Office. My PD is current for EB-2. My case is pretty straightforward so hopefully should not be a issue.
Would appreciate any comments from folks in MD who have been interviewed @ the Fallon Federal Building in downtown.
Particularly - can they approve our cases right there & then.? Will they stamp our passports for approval since PD is current for January 2011.? Can there be any issued with visa number not available, etc. ?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks!

I am a July 2007 filer. I filed for I-485 using the old fee structure and also applied for AP in July 2007. My AP got approved in 07 but expired so I had to apply for AP in Aug 2008. So I filed in Aug 2008 and paid $305 for AP fee. Now it's to reapply for AP as it expires soon; however I was under the impression that I wouldn't have to pay for AP fee again. I sent the forms to USCIS but the AP package got returned as they claim i don't qualify for free fling.
Anyone else in this position (I am assuming a lot of you guys are... please share your experience). Do we have to pay every year for AP?
Thanks!

Perm applied in May 2007 . Got audit in June . Responded within a week. No response since then. Company lawyer approached DOL 3 times checking for the labor status. No response.
Is it possible to resubmit the perm application retaining old date. Any suggestion if that might help.

I have a approved I-140 with company A. It is a substitute labor.
I am getting laid off end of the month and I have a new offer from company B.
Can I port priority date of this I-140 to new company B? Does porting work for substitute labor also?
Thanks

I am currently studying in the US on an F visa and have managed to loose my passport a couple of months ago. The passport itself is replaced but I hesitated to renew the I-94 since it takes longer time than my duration of status and it is cheaper to just leave the country and send a mail to USCIS later with proof of departure.
To the problem, I am changing status from F to A. Since the interview is not required I was able to obtain the new visa through mail. Now, I am currently in the US with a valid new visa but no I-94 which means I will be out of status two months after my F visa expires. Being close to the Mexican border my plan is to cross it and come back on the same day to officially get the A status and a new I-94. I will of course send photocopies of all the papers and stamps to USCIS to not fall out of status on the previous visa. Are there any legal problems doing this?

My employer says that he is going to run the taxes from the state where the company is located and not from the state where I'm actually working.
Says something changed on the company's front and the CPA advised that there won't be any problem .He's giving me all kinds of reasons about how he can't run the taxes from my state and says there won't be any problem in 485 stage.
If called for the 485 interview we may have to bring our pay stubs to the interview .In that case would there be any problem with this scenario.?
By the way the address I have on file for all my applications is another state (different from where I'm living and where my company is located).(If) called for an interview I guess it will be in the state which is on my applications . Does any one know if I'm right?
Please let me know if this fine.
Thank you.

I had filled my & my wife's 485 on July 16th 2007. However I noticed that the check that I had sent for my 485 had a minor overwriting in the amount field. I had filed for my wife's H-4 extension last month with a similar issue in the check and the USCIS has sent the H-4 application back. Obviously, I do not want the 485 application to be rejected. So i need urgent help on this matter from you all immigration experts, please help me weigh my options:
1.) Can I refile 485 for me and my wife? Is it possible to have 2 485 applications for a person.
2.) If I refile, and then the USCIS accepts my first application, then will loose the fees for second application or will it be refunded?
3.) Do you think I will simply be asked for another check if I dont refile (which I really doubt.)
I know the mistake might sound stupid but Please guide me in this dilemma. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

Republicans who think Hispanic voters really are just the same as every other group and don't care about immigration are dead wrong. Most Americans don't think much about immigration and rank it way down on the list of pressing issues. And they're mixed on how they feel about it. But Hispanics - swing voters in numerous states - are fired up on this issue. When they turn out in big numbers (like in 2008), states that should be reliably red (Indiana, Virginia) go blue. The smart Republican GOP contenders (Jeb Bush, Newt Gingrich, Donald Trump) are making it clear that...

The questions is, if i have an approved I-140 from Company A and I switch over to Company B, then would i be able to file my 485 based on 140 related to Company A when my PD for Labor (company A) becomes current.
Thanks, please let me know

Hello There,
I just got an RFE on my 485 as following.
Submit a letter of employment attesting to your current employment. This letter should be written on the company's official letterhead and cite the date you started working, whether the position is permanent and full-time, a description of the position, a description of the position that you currently hold for the company (if any), and the offered salary.
When I invoked my AC21, my new lawyer submitted G-28 but with out any details about my new employment. I hoping that this RFE is related to that. My only concern is that my old job title is programmer analyst and my new job title is Business Solutions Architect with similar (probably a little more) job duties.
Please share your experiences if any one has received similar RFEs.
Thanks
