To xyz2009:
Congratulations on getting approved. My wife traveleved to India in a similar situation. She left 2 days after the GC approval email. She returned yesterday on her H1B. I think the systems at the POE take time to reflect the new status. She was planning to inform the IO in case he/she asks about the GC approval - but they did not ask anything. Before she left, she spoke to a second level IO who said it was OK to travel and just to explain to the IO at POE in case it comes up. D-155 stamp is not done at POE.
Your wife can either use AP or H4.
to be precise, since your wife used H1B, officer may have just verified H1B(same with H4 ).
But if you use AP, they will send you to a different room, where they seem to be able access much more information. There they will see your entire information (like when 485 applied etc)..so at that point, officer will give you a welcome message and stamp the passport most likely.

Just enjoy your green...I was wondering why the status went backwards (from CPO to Decision) and if that that is a normal process.
Thanks,

Allowing to file on July 02 or July 03 depends on visa numbers available which in turn depends usage the preceding month. If all the numbers are used up (meaning Immigration Officers have requested visas from DOS in the process of approving pending I-485) they cannot allow anyone to file on July 02 or July 03 and so on.
I guess currently race is on from USCIS to consume Visa numbers (40,000 or so) from DOS at unprecedented pace. That's why bulletin hasn't changed as yet. USCIS on its part is possibly trying to avoid flood of application at all cost, even if it requires working extra hours (and approving as many cases as possible) if it can save them later. DOS will NOT move the date back until the numbers are used up or near used up. I guess race is on....we will know on Monday. One way to know how true this is will be watching I-485 approvals from now till Monday. We are caught in the tug of war between USCIS and DOS. CIRCus isn't over yesterday....it is back in town again !!!
For the nth time.. numbers are reduced only after approval and not based on receipt of application. So if you can submit it on July 2nd you submit it on 3rd and so on.

Seems like there might be an internal memo or understanding between USCIS and DOS not to approve many Eb2 India 485 even though there dates are current, this is the only explanation I can come up for the lack for eb2 india approvals in October. Even with the limited number of visas every quarter I was hoping there would be lot of approvals because of Visa spillover occuring every quarter instead of once every year, but looking at the USCIS performance in the first week of october it seems like there wont be any quarterly spillover at all.

Will you guys stop this madness atleast now?. If US started bending rules for people who send flowers, then everyone will try to manipulate the system. There is a lot of difference between the circumstances of originla gandhigiri and now. :rolleyes: That was our country back then, for crying out loud.We are in a foriegn country and the issuance of visa a previlege not a right.Why cant you guys understand this simple fact?. Now stop making fools of yourself and get a life.
That USCIS director gave a good answer. Is your pain more than those citizens of this country who gave their limbs and life for US?. :eek:
BTW, i am one of the guys who couldn't file I-485 because of this fiasco. But i understand the reality.:)
The following is the response I got from an american friend and my previous roommate who just came from vacation .
"I feel so bad about what happened with your application.
Can you send me the letter you wrote to the congress people?
If I can read it and understand it ok then I can send it myself (as a registered voter) too. "
No one is here is foolish to say that Green card is a right or no one here is saying ones life is miserable than the soldier who made sacrifices for ones country.
According to commander in chief , look what constitutes a sacrifice
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/white_house/jan-june07/bush_01-16.html
Its ridiculous on your part to compare those brave men and women in uniform to people on this forum(including me).
There is a reason why people who fought in world war II are called greatest generation.
To begin with I was not comfortable with the idea of sending flowers. But I did not call people fools. Dont be judgemental .

And you did not understand that this is a way for the lawyer to advertise himself.
He may have seen many people worried about this issue on IV and he wrote on his site . Now you are becoming his agent and posting on this site. This is not a news. It is only a comment. It can be true/partially true or partially false.
To me this issue is a non issue for which IV is working and this lawyer is blowing out of proportion. Only handful of people got denials and that too because their Desi employer acted in revenge for them leaving the company.
Even if Desi Employer (blood sucker at least in this case, agreed?) go for revenge, there should not be impact if I-140 is approved and 485 is filed for more than 6 months. Few cases also should give enough alarm.

Based on the criteria above I dont see how it is illegal to ask what type of work authorization one has, and if EAD , how long it is valid. It may be illegal to disqualify a candidate who has EAD with validity for the required amount of time. But I sure can ask about the details within legal limits, can't I?
-------------------------------------
It is illegal... On I-9 it clearly says that an employer can not deny employment because of an expiry date on a valid work authorization document. This makes sense, since the employer does not have any authority to check for this candidate's ability to renew the authorization, neither the candidate is obligated to share that information. Per DHS & DOL once you have valid EAD, you are good to go! I am curious though who should be responsible for educating these employers!:confused:
Good to know. As to who should be responsible to educate the employers....there's no doubt in my mind ! It should be us - prospective employees - applying for job. If we don't raise the issue, then who else will do it for us !!!
People can follow a polite plan of action for such questions...
- Be aware of the law
- Be prepared to respond back politely - giving the bare minimum info that would be sufficient
- Point politely to the law during interviews if pressed hard to divulge details.
- If you see the interview going no where, without having to divulge the details, then at that point its a matter of consience....If you had EAD with enough validity, and you think/guess, that the employer is only concerned with people with soon expiring EADs, and if you want the job bad, then may be you can give it a shot and divulge your details. But as much as possible one should shirk the issue politely until you pass the interview process and they are ready to hire... Divulging at that point is beneficial since you know if you get rejected at the point, it was purely because of EAD issue and can take them for a task. If you divulged too early then they could hide behind other reasons for not hiring you.....(unless the employer is CapitolOne, and the HR guy sends out an email blatantly providing proof of discrimination and leaving themselves at your mercy to be sued :) )

I used the format below:
Dear Officer,
My case has been pending since September 2007. Below are the steps I have taken till now in order to get a decision on my case:
1: Initiated enquiry through my attorney.
2: Opened a service request with USCIS (Got an invalid response of no visa numbers available)
3: Made an Infopass appointment with an immigration officer.
None of the above has resulted in any clarity towards my case status.
Below are my case details- (Myself & spouse)-
Applicant name:
Application type: I-485
Category: Employment based EB2 (India)
Priority date:
Receipt number:
Spouse details:

I had the following questions on my case:

2: When can I expect a decision to be made on my case as my case is pre-adjudicated.
If you need any additional details from me, I can be reached at email or phone @ phone number.

Friends,
Finally we got our receipt numbers today from the Check Images. Our Application reached USCIS on 07/03 by USPS Mail. Don't know who signed it. Have been waiting for it patiently. All our receipt numbers start with SRC so from Texas. My I140 was approved form Texas and there was an LUD on the I140 on 07/28.
All the best for whom ever is waiting for the receipt numbers. You guys should get it pretty soon.

I had a reqruiter discussing a great job opportunity and finally when it came to the status thing, it was my mistake, i said "I have EAD". She said "That's fine" and never got back to me, she said she will be in touch via email but never did that.
So this is a pattern now.
Reqruiters and HR know they can say "Sorry we do not sponser visas" so they say it without any issue but not EAD.
I am just baffled as to why are some people so fussy about EAD. Isn't EAD holders a piece of cake for the company? People with skills and eligible to work for any employer????
I am sure the hiring managers would love to bring good people on board. But unfortunately, these reqruiters and HR are creating the mess.
Looks like for reqruiters, they think they can just apply the filter to lessen their burden on collecting resumes.
The problem here is, she may not have responded back for some other reason. We cannot assume the EAD is always the reason. We cannot know unless they explicity say so, as I experienced yesterday.
My wife had her resume on monster under the GC cateogry (they do not have an EAD category as far as I know). She was interviewed and selected and when submitting her I-9, she put in her EAD details and attached a copy. No one raised a hoot at any point.
There are only some sections rejecting EADs either because of ignorance or due to the additional work required in screening EAD candidates as the recruiter explained to me.
It may also be a good idea for people who recently had success with EADs to post their cases here or people will begin to get anxious about their work status as no one really knows how long they will be stuck with EADs.

H1 quota will be over on day 1 also started as a rumor ..however USICS quickly jumped and clarified how they will handle the situation ..i hope the same this time also .
Only intresting thing is will they accept applications on day 1 and cover their skin ?...Then no body can question DOS/USICS as they always had a reason to defend themself....Guys what ever happens if you can file today thats fine else ..do use fedex same day service and make sure the application will reach b4 5 on monday
