I received an RFE too in Nov 1st week. It was about the evaluation. (It was submitted earlier but still) Lawyer mailed them the required document and now the status has changed to "We received your response to the request on Nov 14th and the case processing has resumed".
How many days does it take them now to make a decision? (Btw I am EB3 and my 140 submission date was Nov 2006)
lookin at the approvals i think it will take anywhere from 1-3 months

:mad: 12/11/2006: USCIS Considers Termination of Concurrent Filing (140/485)
According to the USCIS rule-making agenda, the USCIS is to propose to terminate current concurrent I-140 and I-485 filing. The proposed rule is scheduled to be published in March 2007 with 60-day comment period. It is thus not imminent, but in the later part of next year(Oops!), the immigrant community may see a totally different filing procedure including electronic registration and filing just like current PERM labor certificaiton application procedure. Once the concurrent filing is terminated, the immigrants may experience a terrible pain as related to maintenance of nonimmigrant status pending I-140 petition, eligibility for 245K benefit, plus unavailability of EAD and AP pending I-140 petition, AC-21 180-day portability, etc. etc. Should the I-140 petition processing be dragged, the pain will be extremely unbearable!

11) is it possible to switch the GC processing to "future employment", although the Labor/I-140 were approved with the understanding that I was to continue working for the same employer?
Yes. GC is always for future employment.
12) is the H1 visa/Priority Date of approved labor/I-140 carried over when the individual changes citizenship - from Indian to Canadian?
Changing citizenship does not affect how Priority Dates are recaptured.
13) when do the dependents' citizenship come into the picture in the GC process? If I continue to be an Indian citizen but my spouse becomes a Canadian citizen, will my approved Labor/I-140 be affected in any way?
It is country-of-birth that matters. if your spouse is born in another country that is not subject to PD backlog, you may apply your I-485 to your spouse�s country of birth.

Thanks for responding.
I was going back through the statements that we received from the Insurance Company. The statements shows OASDI tax withheld, which is the SS tax. I believe, the employer is equally responsible to contribute 6.2% of the income to the SS and 1.45% to medicare. That means, this income should be added to the SS wages and medicare wages by the employer. I would be complaining about this employer tomorrow to IRS.
bbct :
My wife was on maternity leave last year. She was paid partially by the State and partially by a 3rd party insurance company. Her employer did not pay for these, so they did not include it on her W2.
I am not sure if your case is similar, but this is what I know about maternity leave benefits. BTW I am in CA, so I am not sure how it works for other states.
AFAIK, Short term disability payments are not taxed by Fed and State. We got a W-2 from the 3rd party ins company. This W2 only mentions the payments as "Third-party sick pay" and does not add to the gross W2 wages. My wife also took the CA paid family leave which is paid by the State. We got a 1099-G from the state for this. AFAIK, the paid family leave payments are taxable by Fed but not by CA state. BTW, fathers are also eligible for this paid family leave in CA within the 1st birthday of the baby.

There are 16 million houses underwater mortgage, 40 million with mortgage and 26 million fully paid.
While presidential candidates are trying to come up with solution to save underwater mortgage and mortgage house, immigragation community can buy very small percentage of house under foreclosure. One of the presidential candidates requested to put a halt on foreclosures. IL police refused the job of forcing people out of foreclosed homes.
I was planning to buy some house, but the market data is too scary. My fear includes invalidating transactions (as an example, in Utah sales were cancelled - http://www.abc4.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=d8329b86-6237-4ed2-896b-bbec104d13d2).

I agree with sri1309. This would stop the bleeding of the economic crisis. Folks just wont stop by buying house alone, they all will be motivated to spend more money. guys, our folks most of them are well positioned with good paying jobs and pay and the only reason for not spending and not buy houses are because of the insecurity of the stay due to the h1b extension.
We all to some extent know that this whole mess is due to the deregulation of the financial institiution and because of which high supply of houses ( SUPPLY and DEMAND. Now with the bailout government owns all these houses). By passing some legislation can control the deregulation but how do you sell the government owned houses quickly to the people? who will buy? Immigration is the best option. Here is my recommendation, regulate and tightenend the loans for the house constructing companies to control the supply side from the constructing compnay and issue green cards to all the legal immigrants to increase the demand side of the equation. Additionally bringing the ?? milliion illegal immigrants to legal will increase the tax revenue of the government. My 2cents says that whoever the next president, the comprehensive immigration reforms would be the best solutions for solving the current economic mess.

I am in the same boat. I have asked my paralegal about it a few times and he seems reluctant. He said they don't normally do it. By law, are they not required to let us have the receipt? Like you, I do have the receipt numbers, but not the physical copy of the receipt. Like you, I currently have no intentions of quitting, but I would like to have a copy... just in case.
Well..I am sure there might be lot of people like us..is there anything we can do to control these pigs..??
I am sure there may be many people who now say,
who asked you to come to this country
who asked you join them..blah blah...
just because we get hired doesnt mean we allow them to abuse us
I think we should take some initiative to control them or alteast save people like us :cool:

from Ron's newsletter
"One additional reason for making sure that you have a valid EAD at all times is so that you can claim unemployment benefits in the event you lose your job"
This is my understanding too, one doesn't have to have a continues employment in AOS status, only required to have a job or a job offer at the time of adjudications of I-485. I know one person who was able to get his green card on the basis of a new job offer at the time of adjudication (during interview process). Ron's newsletter is the first I have seen which is specifically mentioning unemployment benefit for AOS applicants. Thanks OP!!!

After eight years my husband is almost able to work (waiting for EAD) and my son has aged out for derivative benefits and is on an F1 with no realistic path to permanent residency and eventual citizenship.
I agree, those who crossed a border illegally or overstayed are now looking at the American Dream being handed to them.
The DREAM act, if it stays in the legislation will give the children of the illegals state tuition rates (I work for the university my son attends and found it hard to get in state tuition rates for him) and they will also get conditional residency and will be able to apply for their own green cards after five years.
Amazing really, that we are seeing and hearing this in the land we chose to live in which claims to be a land where the rule of law is paramount.
I am in the same boat. Waiting in GC line for 5 years. LC still pending. Two children - one aged out two years ago, other will age out in 3 months. We were hoping that DREAM Act will get them through. But no, that benefit will be reserved only for children of illegals. Only they will get in-state tuition, and can apply for GC till age 30. If you are child of legal alien, you age out at 21. What a cruel joke!

Hi,
I got an email saying "we mailed the document to the applicant" and it says the same thing on my uscis protfolio.
I would like to know if this means the case was approved or is it some other document being sent.
When they approved my EAD, it clearly said "Approval notice sent".

Recently I spoke a IO at NSC and she specifically told me that the local office does not see if its assigned to an officer or not. All they see is what room it is in. Ironically, the rooms names are like name of a person.
So it may not be with an IO realistically. The infopass information may not be the best answers you get.

Many asked you about H1B employees...but I have a different question for you...
Do you place consultants (and they are not your employees) thru vendor to the client place ? Like just forwarding resume to vendor (not to client) and charge every hour say 5-20$ per hour as long as the consultant is on the project for just forwarding the resume ? I know many desi employers do so I wanted to ask you.

When there are so much negative opinion, instead of chasing this avenue, let us all focus on what is tangible (such as connecting with media and building up public support). If by chance he goes against the legal immigration too, then we burn candle from both ends. The risk is not worth it.

I agree 100%. Anything that affects business and competitiveness of the US will be always more important than sob stories of individuals. Latter is collateral:)
just an idea, but the reporter should probably speak to the employers of people who have left, and highlight instances where they have found it difficult to replace the departing employee.
USCs are probably more impressed by effect on the US than the hardships faced by us

Agree...although "Posted" date is indicated as July 16th 2009, the "As of Date" says May 31,2009. This NOT upto date info. does put all TSC June 2009 EAD renewal waiters in distress/chaos/panic mode....
EAD applicants need not be in panic. They take around 50-60 days. There is clear note that if you don't get it in time you can get something on priority basis from a local center. It is a hassle of course.
Difference betwen "As of ..." and "Posted on ..." dates suggests that someone is reviewing the data before it is posted. Govt reviews, you know, are not very quick. Bosses may be on vacation, checking, asking questioins, getting explanations, all on paper/emails between offices all over the US, etc. etc. Inside information suggests USCIS is working hard, but beurocracy has limits, and changes over the years (most to provide interim benefits to us), and very long ques are not efficiently handled by the systems developed prior to these changes. For example, systems are not designed for managing severely retrogressed PD's, or someone waiting several years for GC, etc.

I went for consular approval last year. At that time I had applied for LC. The form had the question Have you ever filed an immigrant visa petion, or has an immigrant visa petiion was ever filed on your behalf? My attorney told me to say No.
USCIS has F1 file. Why did they not reject I-140?
They cannot reject...I thaught I exaplained it clearly enough....
