This is exactly what I said in my previous posts. EB2 India may become unavailable towards the end of September as most of the visas will be used in August itself and we will see a flood of approvals starting August 1st itself. I think most of the approvable cases are already processed by USCIS after it gave the data to DOS on July 8th. I think most of the straight forward and less complicated cases during 2004 - 2006 period will be approved soon.
I do not want to spoil the party fun but somewhere in my mind there is a lingering doubt. I read Ron Gotcher's post about August 2008 bulletin.
http://immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?p=20233#post20233
He says that Eb2 India will retrogress to 2003 or 2004.
This is my opinion. TSC 485 processing time is July 17,2008. NSC 485 processing cut off date is July 28th, 2008. I don't know if CSC is still processing 485 EB applications but CSC EB processing cut off date on its website is April 04, 2006. The priority date for June 2007 bulletin was April 1st2004.
Lot of big law firms filed 485's around August 1st because the date for filing 485's was extended to August 17th. So I think these 485's are still unadjudicated. Once they get adjudicated there would be retrogression. Analysts analyze. However the silver lining would be removal of concurrent processing of I-140 and I-485 which may give some additional EB 2 numbers next year.

Was e-Filed a month back. Waiting for the fingerprint notices. EAD expiring in 20 days so will probably have to be on a "loss of pay" for about a month.

Assume the following worst case.
1. We create an authentic database of member payments.
2. All non-paying members are unhappy and/or leave.
Let us have a civil and focussed debate on the following strongly related questions.
1. What is the utility of a non-paying member?
2. What is lost if a non-paying member leaves?

You need to know what is your current job & duties mentioned in the Labor certification if you want to change the job with AC21. Otherwise you dont need the LC. But its good idea to have all the docs with you.

Gurus,
Sorry for not mentioning in my first post earlier... Just now I received a copy of the Letter which my company received from the USCIS. It is mentioned as "NOTICE OF INTENT TO DENY (NOID)".
Reasons:
- Section 203(b)(2)(A) of the Act states
- 8 C.F.R 204.5(I)(3)(ii)(C)
These are related to the Education for 3 yrs degree..
- What is the next step ?
- What is the chance of a positive result?
Thank you,
Regds,
Raju

I found the EAD v/s H1B article quite informative, articulate and really eye-opening. I dont see any issues with posting links to other immigration sites, PROVIDED those links are not simply marketing links and DO actually provide good immigration-related info. Some of the stuff he has written makes a lot of sense and Ron is not taking the same stance everyone else takes where they advise people to stay on H1B status to keep milking them for attorney fees.

The idea here could be to give tough time for people who do not have valid visas. If they cannot get drivers license because they are on expired visa they cannot drive.
Illegals will anyway figure out a way to drive. They may even drive without a drivers license.
We are the ones who have to bear the brunt of all these illogical rules.
Can't we do anything about this ?
I read somewhere in IV that employers can't even ask for the type of work authorization when giving a job.
How come DMVs can ask our immigration status for drivers license ?
There may be scope for some action here.

It i svery hard to make predictions because of the possible distortion in the trend due to the new NC>180 day rule.
If you know Process Control, we need to wait for it to settle down for at least 2 more months (by June) before the trend starts to normalize.

If that is such the case, ISO800 is noisy and you can't really shoot above that.
but judging by comments elsewhere, the resolution is very good on lower ISO shots. (better than the 1D Mark II some say?)
It's also a model that has been out for a while. A replacement is overdue? (Photokina...)
If we're talking strategy :p, then I believe this is the time to consider waiting. Almost every camera except the 1D Mark II will likely be superceded by newer and cheaper models come September. (10D, S2, 300D, D70 and perhaps Sigma SD10 is my guess) That date is not that far off... (usually no point in waiting, but if the original poster already has a camera and is in no rush...)

Just two things:
1. Make up your mind about your last name and stick with it. Jumping last names can create trouble for you in future. I work for a bank and two different last names mean different people, your credit report will also be messed up so in the long run you will have a lot of pain.
2. Since your first name has three names, and I am guessing out of those two one would be your town and other you father name or something like that, it would be hlepful for you to convert them to single letter and just keep your given name as full name. Most of the systems in US cannon handle three first names and you will face this trouble again and again even if you get it figured out in the visa.
For your current problem just state that your new 797 is approved with a wrong last name, and talk to a lawyer. If he asks show him your new passport and explain the reason for the last name change.
DMV story will create unnecessary confusion so skip it.

I am in a situation, my h1b is expiring next month. 485 filed,still working on h1b. What are my options for bringing my wife in case if I get married next year?
rxsimha
03-17 05:03 PM
That is good idea to keep H1B status as much as possible. Use EAD when u have to use it.
Thanks
Thanks for the reply.
But consider the below scenarios.
- A person is on his 5th Year of H1 and his I-485 gets rejected - he can go back to H1 (Since he has 1 year left).
- A person has exhausted his 6 years (May be in his 7th year). Now his I-485 gets rejected - he cannot go back to H1 (Since he has exhausted his 6 years on H1).
Not sure if my understanding is right here

Kumar1,
where can i validate this
"Yes, extended H1-B is no longer valid after that. You simply can not fall back on that."
My attorney said, h1 will last till its expiration but cannot be renewed after 485 denial.
