you told that fees are reasonable, can you tell me you get answers all your questions promptly?
or do lawyers asks extra money for every related question? (this is reported on other thread by some members). say for example, if I want to ask about not only AC21 but also about travelling on AP etc.?

With all due respect.. members (including senior members) have just made the entire e-filing discussion (EAD / AP) just bit complected..
Here is the link to USCIS website, which specifically talks about e-filing forms (Top right side of the page).
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=f3fe194d3e88d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=9059d9808bcbd010VgnVCM100000d1f1d6a1 RCRD
If the link doesn't work then go on uscis.gov >>> select Immigration Forms >>> select Electronic Filing (Left side of the page) >>> select Forms Currently Available for E-Filing.
Once there you can read all about e-filing and click on the desired form to move forward.
Good luck fellow members.

Sorry typo Labor date should be 8/13/2003
Your Labor Approval date is 8/13/2007 and you had already applied for 485 on June 29th, how is that possible?

sanjay , prinive - believe me folks, a lot of pushing is needed, not everyone are proactive like you and me. I guess you are in the tri state chapter - you can see for yourself, how many members are active and how many are not. I am also just like you all - the core trusts me to be a chapter lead and I do want to do what best I can - I will be very happy if more and more people come forward and carry things forward.

Nobody is policing here. This is to inspire some of those 8,394 "mature adults" who made no contribution yet love to surf this site. We are all starting to think that core group is wasting its time if only 212 members out of 8,606 (only 2.4 %) want to support this organization.
Your logic does not really make sense to me. If I contribute X amount, I do so because I believe in IV's cause (which is my cause too) and not because someone else has contributed Y amount.
I think we are all mature adults and not school kids, and do not require such kind of policing.

Hey folks,
The proposed bill to give green card to PhDS does not include all the PhDs. PhDs listed as STEM(Science engineering technology majors) are only eligible through this bill in current form. Graduates from pharmacy, medicine, veterinary medicine, animal science are not listed as STEM. I am sure there are many more majors not listed as STEM. I think we should write a letter to congressmen about this anomaly. And I encourage non STEM PhDs to represent their concern so that we can unite and represent our concerns to the congress men. immigrtion service department has listed the subject codes fall under STEM.
You have to browse through the following link to see code for your major. http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2002/cip2000/ciplist.asp.
once you know the code for your major you can go to http://www.ice.gov/sevis/stemlist.htm to check weather your program is listed there as STEM.
good luck

I am not sure if this is that simple. There are no clear laws that state what would be the implication if:
Your I-140 on which you were granted an extension is revoked by your employer. This is quite possible if you are not working for that employer and the employer decided to go by the book. Most big employers would do it just as a prodedure. Some would do to subsitute the underlying labor.
I have heard various things in this regard some from lawyers too, and I haven't got a clear answer on it. This provision comes from AC-21 which fails to state the above condition. There were further directives (Yates memo etc) after AC-21 to clarify various situations, unfortunately this situation wasn't answered in any of them either.
If you draw parallels from extensions granted on Labor Certification, the H1B is valid till the end of duration as long as labor remains pending. If Labor is approved or denied or subsituted the underlying H1B status is quentionable. This could mean that the extension granted is not without strings attached. This is just my opinion.
If you have an approved I140 (does not matter which company whether former, curent or future employer), you can get a 3 year H1 extension. There is nothing your current employer can do. How ever, as the others suggested above, you should find you new job and transfer your H1 by using premium processing to be on the safe side. Also apply for new GC process which would allow you to port your priority date as long as your I140 is not revoked for froad/misrepresentation. There are certain rebates on this too.
If you are layed-off, there is nothing much to think. Just act quickly to get your 3 year extension and be optimistic.

7th year extension was instituted as part of AC21 - which was a major immigration package backed by the tech industry (somewhat like SKIL) including the provision to increase H1-B quota to 195K. Point being unless there is some powerful godfather for such a bill - whether it is big business or the pro-illegal alien lobby , congress is not going to prioritize some piecemeal legislation just to give us relief. Right now the tech industry is pushing hard for SKIL while the illegal alien lobby is pushing hard for CIR. Our best hope is to ride either of these bills .. and I am sure core team is always on the lookout for any other bills that we can possibly hitch on to. Just that its not all that easy to do.
I think it was Collin Powell that help passed the 7th year extension and one year extensions there on if LC is pending for a year..this was passed since there was a crisis with delay in LC adjudications....so we are at a point that we need such a relief soon...we are heading towards such a crisis point..soon...

My 485 was apporved in July 2010 and have not recieved the card yet. I have contacted with couple of Service Request for non-delivery of permanent cards. First reply from USCIS was that my case was waiting for finger printing information from my local USICS was backlogged for appointments. So, I have told to wait for 60 days for either FP notice or physical green card. After 60 days, I have called them and another service request was created and the reply was completely irrelavant as they says my address was updated for my query about non-delivery of GC.
Is there any other escalation request that I can made for deliveriy the GC or the FP notice? whenever I called the USICS are creating the SR and have to wait for answers like above.
I have recieved the 485 approval notices (for both of us) on July itself but waiting for cards now. Are anyone with the same boat ? Or Is the unusual case?
Thanks
Rama
Which service center is this at?

I donot see any point in paying off the house, as you can deduct the interest to get some tax benefits. Why loose any benefit you can get.
On the other hand, use the money you were thinking of paying off the home for investments. Investments may it be CDs or stocks ( though right will come in future).
Although personally i have never bought a brand new car in US. Car depreciation is biggest loss one can take; we just bought a 5 th car...all cash paid and it is used.
Keep your cash, play with 20-30% based on your risk apt, donot pay off your home...cash is king.
On your comment of " being a novice in financial "...i have to say it Everyone is a novice in every matter, we all learn it here. Rather one who says he/she is a novice will make cautious decisions; i am wary of so called experts/gurus who mauled financial markets and still call themselves experts.
Start reading finance articles, blogs and you will be able to understand.

Hi breddy2000:
Thanks for your reply and was RFE similar to mine?
Here is content of RFE:
Exact RFE text is:
1. Software consultants: The evidence indicates that the petitioner is engaged in the business of software development and computer consulting and is seeking the beneficiary�s services as computer programmer/analyst. However, the record does not show whether the petitioner is the actual employer of acting as an agent who arranges short-term employment for workers who are traditionally self-employed. As such, the evidence is insufficient to establish whether a specialty occupation exists for the beneficiary; and whether there was a bonafide job offer at the time of filing. USCIS must examine the ultimate employment of the alien, and determine whether the position qualifies as specialty occupation. Please clarify the petitioner�s employer-employee relationship with the beneficiary and provide evidence as follows:
A. Petitioner as the employer: If the petitioner is the employing entity, it must establish that it will hire, pay, fire, supervise, or otherwise control the work of the beneficiary. Evidence must be provided that establishes a specialty occupation position actually exists at the petitioner�s business location and that there is an employer-employee relationship. If the beneficiary will perform some work for clients outside the petitioner�s work site, evidence must be provided of the conditions of employment.
B. Petitioner as an Agent performing the function of an Employer: If the petitioner is an agent acting as the employer, it must guarantee the wages and other terms and conditions of employment through a contractual agreement with the beneficiary, and provide an itinerary of definite employment. The petitioner must establish that a specialty occupation position actually exists and that the beneficiary�s work will be under the control of the petitioner.
C. Petitioner is an Agent acting as a Representative for Multiple Employers: If the petitioner is acting as the representative for multiple employers, the terms and conditions of the employment for each of those employers must be explained and supported with an itinerary of definite employment. Copies of contracts between the employers and the beneficiary would further substantiate the petitioner�s claim of qualifying employment.
Depending on the petitioner�s employment circumstances, the evidence may include but is not limited to:
a. a description of conditions of employment, such as contracts of letters from authorized officials of the ultimate client companies, listing salary of wages paid, hours worked, benefits, a brief description of who will supervise the beneficiary and their duties, or any other related evidence;
b. contractual agreements, statements of work, work orders, service agreements letters from authorized officials of the ultimate client companies where the work will actually be performed, that provide a comprehensive description of the beneficiary�s proposed duties;
Note: Providing evidence of work to be performed for other consultants or employment agencies who provide consulting or employment services to other companies may not be sufficient. The evidence should show specialty occupation work with the actual client-company where the work will ultimately be performed.
c. an itinerary that specifies the dates of each service of engagement, the names and address of the actual employers, and the names and addresses of the establishment, venues, or locations where the services will be performed for the period of time that the temporary employment is requested;
d. copies of the petitioner�s present and past job vacancy announcements; classified advertisements soliciting for the current position, showing educational requirements, and the conditions of employment;
e. documentary examples of the petitioner�s products or services (e.g. copies of: business plans, reports, presentations, evaluations, recommendations, critical reviews, promotional materials, advertisements, designs, blueprints, newspaper articles, website text, news copy, photographs of prototypes, etc. presented in an 8 - x 11 inch format);
f. documentation of past employment practices showing H-1B employees routinely met conditions of employment, including full or part-time hours, and that the petitioner always fully pay their workers throughout the time periods requested. List of all non-immigrant employees and provide the receipt numbers for their approved petitions (e.g. WAC____).
g. Any other documents of appendices that petitioner feels will substantiate sufficient qualifying employment.

I wish all I-485 filers should get there receipt , EAD and AP as well as Final GC as soon as possible.
