Hello,
I'm outside US with AP (expiring in about a month). My GC has been approved this June.
My GC employer has run out of work. He is likely to get work later.
My options are:
a) Stay outside US and look for project. On getting confirmed work, enter US to join employer.
b) Enter US, look for project. On getting confirmed work, join employer.
Getting employed by GC sponsor employer with, either option could take few months.
While entering US, I will NOT have EVL(employment letter), only AP & I485 Approval Notice.
Which is safer option (a or b) for US entry ?
What questions can be asked at POE ? What should I say if asked about employer ?
Can GC be revoked at POE?
Which is safer option (a or b) for GC renewal, citizenship ?
Thanks.

The Director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Emilio Gonzalez, stated in an interview with the New York Times that he is recommending a significant increase in USCIS fees to cover the cost of processing applications. While the article specifically mentions naturalization applications, it does not clearly limit the recommended increase only to this application. It is possible, therefore, that many applications and petitions processed by the USCIS could be affected by his recommendation.

we can pay more fees if they can process our cases fast.:) :) :)

As a humble suggestion : Why not pursue an offensive approach ?
Let us show in approx numbers how many Million / Billions of $$$ immigratants can influence the system, and how they can take the money out to put it elsewehre to grow companies/talents..
We always get compared with a grapes picker, let us face facts, we generate so much income for state, savings in banks, investment in property, invest in new seed companies and grow corporate profits, pay huge taxes, and exercising options, means - millions and billions to govt via state taxes, and capital gains. - Who benefits ? The GOVT. When we talk $$$ we make sense to them. If we whine on how the system should be fair and CIR, or SKIL, this will fall in deaf ears. Afterall in US, $ talks.
Look at @ Apple, steve jobs is almost getting aways with all the back , the reason the financial muscle :-( !

As far as I know, since you are past 180 days of 485 filing, you are ok. You can stay in the country based on your pending 485 application. You can take whatever time it takes for you to get a job in your same/similar job classification. However, if your 485 is close to approval, then you need to hurry to find the job, since a job offer is required at the time of adjudication of 485. This will depend on your country of chargeability and PD. If you are from India/china/philippines/mexico with a later PD, you should be ok as long as you find a job in the same or similar classification.
Others can correct me if I am wrong.

Please call USCIS or better yet, take an infopass appointment.
I can not take infopass appointment as I don't have receipt number. Alos, I called up USCIS and they informed me that it is taking longer time for entry and so far they don't see my EAD and AP entries in their system. Although they have received I-485 which was sent along EAD/AP. I just wondering if anyone come across similar sitaution, also does it make sense to file EAD/AP again without any further waiting ?

I meant to ask about a turks & caicos visa. It is a british overseas territory but doesn't seem to require a visa from anyone.
You may not need a visa to visit those British territories....but, you need a visa or AP or GC to enter US. Once you have gone there for visiting (or any other purpose), you have crossed the international border of US.

My parents Staying currently at Dubai and I wants to invite them USA. First of all, is it good idea to call them directly from UAE? or better schedule interview in India and then bring them USA.
Where can I find visitor Visa documents details?

Dallas-Fort Worth Immigration Lawyer Has Just Posted the Following:
Nearly 300 illegal immigrants with criminal convictions were arrested last week in Texas, the Dallas Morning News (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/texassouthwest/stories/022510dnmeticeraids.1572cfa1e.html) reports. The largest number of arrests, 119, were in North Texas. According to the article:
Of the total, about half of the immigrants had convictions for violent crimes or drug offenses. Most of the crimes were committed in the United States, authorities said.
The arrests, though, raises questions about why the immigrants hadn’t been deported earlier, immediately after they'd served their time for criminal convictions.
A new program, called Secure Communities, seeks to link jail staff with federal data banks to ensure that those with criminal convictions are removed from the country. There are only 110 jail locations in the country that now use the program.
Secure Communities has come under scrutiny for the relatively low number of persons caught who have been convicted of violent crimes – or what’s known in ICE as a "level one" offense.
Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Irving, Mesquite and Dallas and Denton counties are among the jurisdictions using Secure Communities processes. The program began in November 2008.

Most Immigration Lawyers that care for their work are tired of Mr. Dobbs. Mr. Leopold from AILA posted a valid statement about Dobbs' campagin of Hate:
CNN has a journalistic obligation to dump Lou Dobbs and his campaign of hate against immigrants.
It is unthinkable that a major network would permit someone to build a career based on fear and hatred of human beings. Why the double standard when it comes to immigrants?
As Janet Murguia, the President and CEO of the National Council of La Raza pointed out yesterday in her Huffington Post blog, http://bit.ly/Mk0ez, Dobbs disgarded any sense of journalistic objectivity or integrity (assuming he had any to begin with) when he openly participated in an anti-immigrant rally in Washington, DC sponsored by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), an organization designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as a hate group. According to SPLC:
� FAIR was founded by John Tanton, who also operates a racist publishing company and has compared immigrants to "bacteria."
� FAIR has employed members of white supremacist groups in key positions.
� FAIR has promoted racist conspiracy theories.
� FAIR has accepted more than $1 million from the Pioneer Fund, a foundation devoted to eugenics and to proving a connection between race and IQ.
� FAIR president Dan Stein once suggested that Asians and Hispanics were engaged in "competitive breeding."
Of course Dobbs� recent display of hate mongering is just his most recent in a long line of abuse including, as Murguia points out in her blog,
� His regular use of guests representing hate groups, vigilantes, and nativists as experts on immigration
� His relentless repetition of stories on immigrants and crime that project an impression far from reality
� His association of immigrants as carriers of disease that has been both inaccurate and pejorative
Enough is enough.
If CNN is serious about responsible broadcast journalism it must put an end to Lou Dobbs' hateful tirade once and for all.

Why do you think that will happen..
I am guessing that if you 140 is approved (which is company based), then you are good because 485 is based entirely on the applicant..
Guru's pease throw some light on this

Hi ,
I am in strange situation. I am in 7th year of H1B and I have applied for H1B extension which was expiring on April 4th through my company on Feb 14th through normal processing. I have the LIN number from receipt notice. I was never able to check the status online as the LIN number was not found and when attorney called USCIS regarding this on March 23rd, We were told that the information will be updated to see the status online. Our attorney did not follow up with USCIS since then. Our attorney followed up again just today and found that an RFE was sent on March 25th which was never received by attorney. Currently we do not know what exactly is requested in the RFE or dead line for the response. RFE was requested again today from USCIS and was told that will be received in around 30 days. Do you think new dead line will be given for the RFE as the initial deadline might have passed for the initial RFE. I am not sure what to do at this point if I am in status or not. Please provide your advise as to what I should be doing? Appreciate your advises.
Thanks for your help.

Regarding "how soon can you go for stamping"
Depends on the consulate. Mumbai consulate allows you to go for stamping 90 days prior to start of your extension. In your case if your extension starts on 1st October 2010, you can go for stamping as early as 5th July 2010. Since you are expecting to receive the extension by August you can go for stamping as soon as you receive it.
I would recommend dropping a mail to VFS and asking this question for the consulate you are interested in.

I had a friend in the same situation. Had H1 and EAD. He worked halftime for two years to finish his MBA. Now went back to fulltime H1. I think your company has to approve it and yes he filed ammendment.
Thanks for the info. I am in the process of asking for approval from my company and I don't anticipate major problems.
So far other than H1b amendment I don't see any other actions I need to take. If anybody can think of anything else please reply to this post.
Thanks.

My company attorney has mailed my I-140 application to NSC for premium processing on 12th october by priority mail. Waiting for receipt notice.
The amount of $1000 has been deducted but it has been through online banking and not the check, so there is no way yet to determine the case number. How many days does it usually take for NSC to issue a receipt notice? Is it quicker for PP cases?pls do reply.thanks.

Folks, let us concentrate on sending the output of all the good analysis done by various members to this person who it appears has a job to identify and recommend systemic fixes. It would be far more useful than sharing woes amongst ourselves in these b-boards.
If he could fix everything we would'nt be in trouble.
