Hi,
My passport expires in Nov, '07 and am planning to travel to India shortly. I would like to know if we are required to submit the original/copy of I-94 for passport renewal.
Your answers are very much appreciated.

Most of us are not eligible to vote in the Nov elections , so PLEASE STOP CAMPAIGNING for Obama unless u have something to say worthwhile abt immigration etc
i'm not campaigning for obama...... simply trying to set the record straight.....
the title of this thread implies that obama is not doing admin fix.... its not always about the campaign & votes, sometimes its about the truth and the truth is that republicans leaked the draft admin memo and wrote letters to oppose admin fix.... but now everyone here is blaming obama..... i'm simply defending the absent.....
most people pass judgments based on incomplete or incorrect headlines...... i'm merely saying that there is more to the news than just the headlines.... & this is related to immigration.... unless u think that the only valid immigration question is - when will i get my gc......

I searched for my LC case in one of the DBs in this website. I could not find it, though there were lots of other cases from my employer. I have the case number and approval notice so I am sure about genuinity of my case. Is this possible that some of the cases might go missing here ?

These are the reasons
(1) Employers will have ability to pay issues or just do not want to carry paperwork after you leave - cancelling 140 is beneficial for them - they win the goodwill of USCIS
(2) For USCIS - handling AC21 paperwork means assigning an IO and time and resources - without any fee associated - it is easier to send denial and get money through MTR so that the IO can be working on your case as "billable work" and not "free work"
(3) The intent of long duration standards set by USCIS is nto make immigration difficult and not easy, so when one changes job using AC21 - with no process in place - it is easy to mess up things rather than fixing them.
(4) In reality - in a perfect world - there is no need for AC21 regulations - this is just a provision for cases where there are long delays - so I doubt if this process will be officially handled through forms and fees and procedures - USCIS handles this only through memos and IOs have their own way.
Please participate in the AC21 campaign and lets make it a success. We have to stop seeing denials and start seeing atleast RFE or NOID

But remember that this does NOT include 3 LARGE groups of potential EB's:
1. Those who have NOTHING filed with USCIS yet, since their LC is still at the BEC==>THIS IS CORRECT
2. Those whose I-140's have been approved, but can't file I-485 yet.==>I THINK THIS HAS BEEN TAKEN ACCOUNT OF BY USCIS.
3. The dependants of (1) and (2).==>THIS IS CORRECT
None of the above would be counted as having a 'pending' case with USCIS.==>nO.2 HAS BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR

I thought that I will share my recent experience.
I arrived in USA in 2003 on a L1 visa.
It was expiring soon, but instead of renewing, because of fear of denial, my company converted me to H1 using premium processing.
Department of state was going to close the VISA revalidation process, so in 2004 I sent my passport to them and got a h1 Stamp (within the USA).
I changed my employer later using H1 transfer and they kept renewing my H1 petition.
My new employer also started my GC processing and in Jul 2007 I applied for my 485 along with wife's.
Since then I have been working with the same employer on EAD.
After a long time I wanted to visit India, so applied and got my AP.
Although I had my AP, I wanted to visit India, get an h1 stamp and reenter on H1.
This is because EAD is taking too long for renewal.
I went to India, visited Mumbai Consulate, they did not ask me a single document.
They understood that I was asking for a stamp after 7 years, so they asked me "so your GC process is ON huh?". I said, "Yup".
No other questions asked.
I got my h1 stamp in 2-3 days.
Planning to reenter USA on that stamp.
Once I return my company will switch me from EAD to H1.
Hopefully EAD will arrive after that.
I will just keep that handy.
If I move to another employer, I will have a choice, use H1 or EAD.
I am keeping my H1 for the only reason, that if 485 gets rejected for any stupid reasons, I will have a way to fall back on something.
I have a house and a small kid born in the USA, don't want to have ANY illegal status, even for a day.
Wife will continue to work on EAD.
H1 is valid for 3 years, so I can travel to and fro USA to other countries with much more ease than the AP.
Plus I don't have to pay the crazy AP fees each time.
Please do comment if you find this information useful or any issues in my plans stated above.
I will update this post when I arrive back in USA.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Please let us know where did you get your stamping and also what questions and documents were asked?
Thanks.

Zcool,
I applied for my H-1B extension and got an RFE asking for contracts and client letters for the requested period i.e., for the next 3 years.
I see that they asked for client letters from you ... but did they ask for the next 3 years? and if so, did you guys reply the RFE with a client for 3 years?
I have been working at the same client for the last 3 years, through a vendor. Mine is a small consulting company. The client has been extending the contract in 6 month increments and I could get a client letter for the next 6 months only.
Same is the case with the contract.
I could not file for 140/485 in july, 07.. so do not have the EAD safety net.
Please advise.
Thank you.

The IV is about issues/problems of employment based immigrants, and the goal is to get support as much as possible from every corner in this country to further the cause. Everyone who supports this cause fit in to some category (within legal limits - pro, anti, this group, that lobby, this ethincity, that nationality, etc.), and that does not mean we are promoting something or have preferences for a group. In my opinion any support (with in the legal framework) to the cause of IV from any corner in this country is welcome and should be appreciated.

No, They did not cancel H4 when I went for H1 stamping.
I want to see if there is any way that the H1 can be withdrawn pending determination from USCIS?

Hi Prinive,
I too am in the same club, having a priority date of Sept 2001. I am still awaiting my I-140 approval, filed in March 2007.
Hoping things would be sorted out sooner rather than later....I am in EB-3....How about U??
I have been on H1B for 3000 days so far and I am still waiting for GC, (filed for 140/485 in November) and I thought I have been waiting for too long, but it looks like one of these people might actually qualify for Guinness Book.

Yes you can do it. You could have done this last yr as well.
I am on H-1B and wife on H-4. We did not get our stimulus payment last year since she does not have SSN.
For people who did not receive stimulus payment last year can claim it this year. So for people like me whose wives are on ITIN, can get $600 back this year or so I think. The way to do this can be:
First file Married filing separately, claim $600 credit and then amend it to file married filing jointly. IRS will not ask stimulus back. Let me know your thoughts on this idea. I wish I could get $1200 but hey even $600 is better than nothing.
Any thoughts??

that you will attend the DC rally... I won't tell you if I got the receipt notice;)
(I filed my AOS on July 2 at TSC)
TSC has officially progressed to 6/30 so the July filers should now start receiving their receipt notices! But the question is, what do we do after we get them, or in the worst case, if our AOS got rejected? There is nothing you or I can do at this time... the deadline to re-submit is over on August 17th.
The root cause of the whole problem is retrogression & country caps, and unless we speak up about it in one voice, no one will do anything to fix that root cause!
So keep looking at the road as you drive, but also take a moment to look beyond the next 1 mile... where there is a traffic jam in which you and I will get stuck for the next 5 to 10 years... unless we do something about it.. together!
So, please take a break from tracking receipts, and decide how long you are willing to renew EADs and worry about following the complex AC21 rules & regulations. If you are like me and not willing to do that forever, then make up your mind and attend the DC rally!
If you attend the rally, you can travel to DC for free/ a fraction of the cost, please look at these threads:

Is there a pattern for RFEs? Why some on gets an RFE for AP?
Good question - based on what I am reading on this forum, it seems to me like the RFE is requested for people who travel a lot in and out of the country. My wife has traveled a lot of times - I even lost track in the last 5 years - and she did tell me that they did not take her I-94. It would be still attached to the passport and when she enters back - if the travel time was less than 20 days, the officer discarded her new I-94 and asked her to keep the old I-94 - in some cases, he/she would just take it during entry. This happens mostly when she travels to Mexico or South America. The evidence that was being requested is the dates of travel and type of visa used to enter the country with the required documented evidence on the passport (color copy).

So does that mean that if one's I-485 is rejected (Has no luck with MTR either) -
Then he cannot continue after his current H1-B expires (After 0 to 3 years)?
Going back to his home country is the only option?

Guys as a RULE. Pls contact the Core members before contacting ANYONE no matter HOW pro-immigrant we think he may be. Let that be a policy of sorts. Just talk to ANY one core member and discuss it before u take any action. Media exposure is a double edged sword so let us please be careful as to who we contact.
Guys did you notice , advice from eb3_nepa. I just wanted to repeat it for all. That's a good advise , I think.

My I 140 got approved just after moving to company B
My old attoney only filed I485 with old labor and I 140.
To summarize your case, you got your LC approved from company A and filed I-140. Then left company A and joined company B. You got your I-140 approved after joining company B so your attorney from company B applied I-485 based on the I-140 approval from company A. Did I get this right?
If so, I hope you are not currently working on EAD. Only way you can save your I-485 petition is if you can get an offer letter from company A stating that you will be re-hired upon GC approval. I hope this is possible and I wish you good luck.
