Hi All,
Need some comments on my situation. My lawyer filed for my I-140, I-485, AP, and EAD on November 20th on EB2 Row Category. I just emails yesterday stating that my EAD card is sent to production, but they have asked for initial evidence on 485. Is it possible to review 485 without looking at the 140? I am not sure what that query is, but really hoping that it is not something serious. I've already waited for 16 months for my Labor to get approved. Please share your experiences, suggestions etc. regarding this.
yes, 485 processing and 140 processing is different. They are joined thread, So they will not approve 485 until your 140 is approved.

Your PD is already current now:
Visa Bulletin For June 2011 (http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5452.html)
Hi all
My I-485 is pending(EB-3,India)since 2007. I changed employer & successfully ported PD on new I-140 approval in EB-2 category. My PD is in Oct 2006 & I expect that to become current in the coming few months.
Now, I need to do Interfiling to link my pending I-485 to my new I-140.
(1) What all documents/wordings are required for interfiling? Can someone pls provide a checklist?
(2) Who should do Interfiling- Myself or "Attorney of File" on my original I-485 or my current attorney (who did my new I-140)?
(3) Can I send my Interfiling request to USCIS even before my PD becomes current?
Thanks

Please give us more details , don't mention color of the receipts(one is Visa appointment fees and second Visa issuance fee )
as far I remember , the receipt used to get visa appointment should match with what you you submit at consulate. If you have lost it then u need to get another DD and book/if possible edit the appointment deatils
But if you have lost Visa issuance fees , u don't have to modify ur appointment details but sure you need to get another DD
my wife still needs to go for VISA, HDFC gives 2 receipts.. 1 which we have to submit(yellow), I have that .. .the other 1 that we have to show at the time of interview.. (pink) I have a copy of tht (stamped by HDFC)..

thx aruben.
so it looks like the only way out for a prospective indian investor would be to start his enterprise outside usa, get employed in it for 1+ yr, then enter the usa on L1 and apply for GC under EB-5 category?

My lawyer initiated the PERM process late last year, the timeline was such that the prevailing wage request was filed with State Workforce Agency (SWA) on 12-30-2009. The SWA prevailing wage determination was received back by my lawyer on the 1/11/10.
Subsequently the recruitment process started and everything was going smooth. The PERM was supposed to be filed in the first week of April. My lawyer now is saying that they need to push the application filing because of the new rule which came into effect Jan 1st which requires all prevailing wage requests to be filed with the DOL. The rule states that:
On January 1, 2010, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) changed the way that prevailing wage determinations (PWDs) are processed for the PERM, H-1B, H-1B1 (Chile/Singapore), E-3 (Australia), and H-2B programs. PWDs are now issued by DOL�s National Prevailing Wage and Helpdesk Center (NPWHC) in Washington, DC. Below are updated Frequently Asked Questions about the new process.
From my understanding the new law should not be applicable to me, since we filed for the PWD on 12/30/09. I am not sure why we need to reinitiate the process, since the new law is _effective_ as of 01/01/2010.
Is anyone in a similar situation or anyone has any advice?

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/flag_CNMI.gifAll immigration law attorneys must deal with foreign countries, unique international legal issues, and some quaint interpretations of law. The lawyers at Los Angeles' Fong & Chun are no exception, and in fact, this recent change affects some of our clients who do business in or own businesses in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI).
On 28 November 2008, "the United States" as defined for purposes of the Immigration & Nationality Act (INA) just got bigger, with the addition of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Although there are probably wrinkles I have not yet read in the treaty, this essentially puts the CNMI on the same footing as Puerto Rico. Here's the cute part:
Because the CNMI will become part of the "United States" as defined by �101(a)(38) of the INA, "residence or presence in the CNMI before 28 November 2009 shall NOT be considered residence or physical presence within the USA for INA purposes. Thus, on 29 November 2009, all persons physically present in the CNMI are considered "to be present in the United States without inspection, by operation of law."
Will these PWIs (present without inspection) be eligible to adjust status? Unclear? Are they working "abroad" for purposes of L visas? Yes, as it turns out. One thing is clear: Legal Permanent Residents (so-called "green" card holders) who wish to base a naturalization application based on physical presence in the CNMI will NOT be able to do so for pre-29 November 2009 periods of time. Isn't this esoterica fun? --jcf

Photoshop might have a filter that could do this, although I'm not sure off the top of my head. I'd go with the Flash version myself, it's quick, easy and you can cut and paste the result into another package without any hassle.

I am on H1-B, and about to apply for I140.
My wife has recently got a F1 visa (and her H4 visa has been left valid).
I am applying for I140. Is it ok to mention her name on my I140 as my spouse?
Thanks in advance,
Ace
Your wife's H4 is no longer valid since she switched to F1. You cannot hold non-immigrant status in two different classification at the same time. However, I think it is okay and even expedient that you mention her in your I-140.

I am in 5th year of my H1B visa and have visa stamped through the end of September 2010. I am traveling to India May 15th, 2010 and returning to the US on June 6th, 2010. That means I will have about 4 months of valid visa by the time I will be entering the USA. I am planning on renewing my visa after returning to the US. On a side note, my labor has ben approved and filed I-140 recently.
My questions is, do you think I have to start my H1B visa renewal before I leave to India or I can apply for renewal after I return?
Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks,

But my lawyer chose this. and I already signed the form. Does it really matter? As he stated " Spose has an approved I-140"
I'm sure you'll be okay. All they want to know is the basis of your eligibility for filing I-485 and choosing (h) and adding this explanation should be fine.

I filed my 485 application at TSC at the beginning of August, still did not get any receipt number, neither are the checks cashed.
Any idea how long USCIS/TSC is taking these days to issue a receipt or cash the checks?
Thanks,
Finally got the receipts on 3rd Sep..so in about 24 days!!

Until now, new inmates booked into the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) prison system had their fingerprints checked only for criminal history information. But now, each new inmate booked into the Huntsville, Texas, intake site will now also have his or her fingerprints checked by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) biometric system for any immigration record.
The TDCJ prison system is the first in the United States to partner with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in this new program, called Secure Communities. This comprehensive program is intended to streamline the process by which ICE determines if the screened inmate is a criminal alien, subject to automatic removal after the inmate completes his or her prison term. Highest priority is given to inmate aliens who have been convicted of crimes such as rape, robbery, murder, kidnapping, and major drug offenses.
Eventually all 24 intake sites in Texas will have the same capability to screen inmates’ immigration history. ICE currently partners with 50 counties and law enforcement agencies across the nation in the Secure Communities program, and looks to expand the program to all law enforcement agencies throughout the United States.
More information about ICE's Secure Communities effort is available at www.ice.gov (http://www.ice.gov). Additional information about TDCJ’s partnership with ICE may be found at: http://www.ice.gov/pi/nr/0905/090519huntsville.htm.

Dear Sir/Mam,
I am presently working in India. My wife is getting an L1 visa approval petition. We need to go to the US consulate for visa stamping.
My question is that 1) Do I need to resign from my current job to get a L2 visa stamping on my passport? 2) If not required, do I need to carry any form or letter from the company that I am on long leave/vacation to show it to the US consulate officier?
Please advice.
Thanks
