I was looking at status of my EAD I applied on 15th October'2008 online at TSC.Status shows that my card has been ordered for production on 31st October.I received letter for Biometric appointment on 5th November. I went to ASC on Saturday( 11/1/2008) and had my fingerprinting done.
How can they order the card on 31st october when my biometrics were done by that date and my appointment was set for 5th Nov 2008 ? Anybody faced the same situation? I had gone for finger printing for I-485 this January.
I got FP notice for my EAD one month after I got my EAD in hand.

I have an approved I-140 and my 3-year H1-B extension is currently being processed but not in premium and has not been approved yet.
I have decided to leave the job/country and want to know if there were any consequences of leaving without the approval (current I-94 has a July 2010 expiration date). I am still working and technically in status as it is in process but the approval could take a few more months. Should I push for premium? Any advice? I would hate to have any problems with getting future visas to the US, either tourist or getting back on an H1-B.
Many thanks!

Is that normal to have the same I-94 number on my renewed H1B and my wife's H4 approval notices?
Seems it is a mistake that my old I 94 is given in H4 extension application. Do I need to apply for correction? Any Lawyer / Member, please confirm. Thanks in advance.

You are not supposed to work on EAD until unless it�s renewed that is sure, you can work on H1B for your H1B employer if H1B is not revoked.
I suggest a attorneys advice on H1B once.

hi all
im in F2B ( LPR filing for son over 21 )
my PD : 12-aug-2009
ON 23-dec-2009 case has been approved , based on the Visa Bulletin currently the are processing visas for F2A with priority date before 1- JUN i think soon " within 2 month " it will become current and thus all unused visa numbers will transfer to F2B ( spilover ) if this happen i assume i will get my paper and interiview within 2011 .
AM I RIGHT ?????
any insight will be appreciated

H4 time has been decoupled from H1 time but L1 time still counts against you so it will be 72 months -40 months

As most of us know, Senator Specter and the Judiciary Committee passed a bill last night. All the pro-immigrant legislation remained in there (which is a good thing)
Senator Frist had threatened that he will bring his bill to the floor if the Senate Judiciary Committee does not do it. Since the bill passed the committee yesterday, most people assume that the Senate will debate Senator Specter's bill.
WRONG!
As per this news here http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2006/03/28/panel_acts_to_expand_immigrant_rights/?page=full
Despite yesterday's vote, Senate majority leader Bill Frist warned that he may substitute his bill, which only enforces borders, and ask the full Senate to vote on it instead of the far broader and more lenient measure approved yesterday by the judiciary committee.
In any event, a bruising battle on the Senate floor is expected this week. And even if the Senate approves the committee's bill, any measure that appears to provide ''amnesty" to those who are here illegally faces fierce opposition in the House, which in December passed a bill that would erect a fence along the Mexican border and make it a crime to provide social services to undocumented immigrants.
And while President Bush is a strong supporter of a guest worker program, he has signaled hesitancy to allowing undocumented immigrants to gain legal status.
Basically there is NO guarantee which bill comes to the floor. Please update this thread as you find more information about this

Hi,
I would really appreciate if someone throws some light on this issue. I am a J1 scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. I do not know what category that is because I am not paid either by my sponsor (upenn) or by my own government(India).
Who does pay you? Don't your paychecks come from UPenn? Even if a company is sponsoring your project, technically the company is paying UPenn, and you are being paid by UPenn.
Now, i wish to get enrolled in a full time MS program of University of Arkansas. In order to do that, should I apply for transfer of J1 from UPenn to U of A ...or should apply of transfer of visa from J1 to F1.
As far as I remember, you cannot be a full-time student in J1. You need to get F1.
In case I apply for F1, can I :
1. Start my classes till my transfer from j1 to f1 is pending
No, you must get F1 on hand.
2.receive assistantship or on campus employment from UofA till my status from j1 to f1 is pending?
Thanks in advance.
No, you must get F1 on hand.
In any case, the International Student's Office in U of A will be able to tell you the exact requirements (they will not let you join unless you have the right VISA in hand), and basically you must follow what they say. Typically universities handle visa norms very strictly.

My comments were quoted in the blog. As said by previous posters, they have picked few lines from my comments. These comments were related to Qn#1 (How can immigration reform support America’s competitiveness in a 21st century economy?). We can not expect to see all the quotes from one user in issues like this.

Got a 221g (pink) from Chennai consulate because I have a Phd in biology. After almost 4 weeks the status on the website was updated to 'submit passport'. I have a couple of questions. If anyone who has gone through a similar situation, can answer, I would very much appreciate it..
1. I have been asked to submit the passport to VFS. How long did it take for passport to be returned with visa.
2. I have already gone through the security clearance. Do I need to go through PIMS clearance again?
Please...appreciate responses from those who have gone through this themselves..
Thanks. Man..this has been an ordeal....
The bulk of your ordeal is done...that is waiting for the Security clearance...
Security clearance is different from PIMS from what I understand... two different processes...with some luck you might already be cleared for PIMS...I guess you will have to submit your passport and see. Cheers...

I went for an Infopass appointment at the Boston USCIS District Office today. My wife's case status had suddenly changed to "On November 5, 2007 a notice was returned to us undeliverable..." on Jan 7, and we wanted to find out what was going on (the national customer service was of no help at all when we called). Our appointment was at 8.15 AM; we arrived at the JFK Building (Government Center) at 8 AM, went through the standard federal security (very much like an airport) to the USCIS suite. There was hardly anybody waiting in line. The officer at the door checked our appointment notice, and gave us a ticket number, and asked us to take a seat and wait for our number to be called. The arrangment there is like the social security office...there are service counters, and a waiting area in front where you sit and wait to be called.
When our number was called, we walked up to the counter, and the agent greeted us and asked us to present our appointment letter and an ID. She then asked us the purpose of our visit. I explained to her how the status on my wife's pending I-485 had changed to "Notice returned undeliverable", and we were concerned about a missed deadline. She asked for the I-485 receipt notice, then proceeded to look for information on her computer. She repeated our mailing address that was in the system, and asked us to confirm that it was correct. She then printed out something, and told us she'll be right back. I guess she went to see her supervisor for some help (she appeared to be new). After about 5-7 minutes, she came back and told us that she couldn't see what the notice was that was returned, but everything looked ok on my wife's case. She told us (without our asking) that her name check was cleared, and so was her fingerprint search. She said that the case was assigned to an officer, and it was last updated on Jan 7.
Although the agent could still not tell us what was returned undeliverable, she pretty much cleared our doubt that a biometrics appoinmtment or something else was pending. She also confirmed that the name check was cleared.
Our infopass experience at the Boston office was pleasant and fruitful. I think one should try to go early, as there is less crowd, and agents are willing to spend more time answering your questions.

Hi,
I recently received EAD and my I-140 approved an year ago . I am waiting for the 180 days count down to be over. but my question here is after 180 days if i want to use AC21 , do we really need to have the I-140 apporval copy or receipt number bcz it is still with my employer and they are not going to share with the me for sure. But it got approved and year ago for me.
Also is there any way i can get the receipt number of I140 by calling the USCIS ?
Please help!
Thanks

Hello everyone and thank you IV for all your great work. Much appreciated.
I have a (hopefully ) simple question:
I am EB2 (had been current the whole time) and I am just now ready to file my I-140 and I-485.
That said and considering the now new window to file (till 8/17), should I premium process the I-140? Does it even matter? Am I going to basically throw away $1000?
I had ready that they would not even touch the I-485 till the I-140 was approved but that sounds like a contradiction to concurrent filing, right?
Any info, tips would be greatly appreciated.
My attorney is ready to file but I want to make sure I ask the right questions/get the right info from them before they do so.
Thank you all once again!
