The only answer to your question is:"it depends". Who are your state's Senators and how interested/influential are they in immigration issues? Same question for whoever is the Congressperson for your district. I don't think any there is any harm in contacting both Senators as well as the Congressperson for your district.

Hi,
We will be travelling to India and are looking to book Visa appointment. In Mumbai only first week of december is available. As we have to mail the documents, first week of december is not an option for us.
Has the Mumbai consulate opened the dates for December 2nd week and further or has the appointments been booked?

USCIS might re-start PP for I-140 once they complete receipting 485 applications and EAD, AP approvals for July and August filers..which may take atleast 3 to 4 more months!!

Keep Visiting IV
It is better to maintain ur F1-status (meaning all that needed to be on F1) atleast till you get receipt number.
(So that there is no need to worry incase ur application gets rejected and you dont get receipr number).
If you are on F1 while applying i-485, There is no clearly defined rules on when your F1 status goes out after aplying I-485.
If you are currently on valid F1 status then you can keep that status if you want to, provided if you obey all F1 rules
In general, If you use I-485 EAD and AP you are almost out of F1-status
http://www.nafsa.org/_/Document/_/nsc-nafsa_open_house.pdf
from above link:
16. What is the guidance regarding adjustment of status and SEVIS maintenance? Until what point must a person maintain F-1 or J-1 status?
A period of authorized stay begins at the time the applicant properly files his/hersection 245 I-485 with CIS. The applicant’s nonimmigrant F-1 or J-1 status should bemaintained at least until their I-485 is properly filed to avoid triggering unlawful presence issues.

My case was approved by BEC on July 18. My attorney says that my 140 has to be filed by July 31 to be eligible to file under July visa bulletin [by 17th August]
Is his interpretation correct?
I can not do concurrent for a few more days, until my family returns from India.
If I go with 140 now, I am afraid the 140 receipt may not arrive in time for me to file for 485.

Thank you for your replies...
My confusion is, as soon as I enter on AP I am on EAD and I don't have approved EAD. Does this mean I can not work untill I get EAD approved? I don't have Visa Stamped and I am not planning for Visa Stamping.
you can still continue on H1B (same employer) as long it is validity..even when you use AP at POE..

My wife did her MBA and used her OPT before marriage. After a gap of OPT period she again went to school and got a MS degree. During her OPT, she did not work at all. Now she is unable to get second OPT for her recent MS degree.
Is there a way out to get second OPT? Can this new law (29 months OPT) if passed, be used to apply for second OPT.
What should be best approach? Please advice.
Thanks
A student can get an OPT once for every level of education. Since your wife already had an OPT at the "master's" level (it does not matter whether she could earn money during that period or not), she can only get another if she goes for a Ph.D. After completing the Ph.D., she will get one more OPT.
I do not know how the new law, if passed, will be "grandfathered", but I doubt if it can be used for your wife's case.

Given the fact that we have a sum total of all Applications in the system :
We should have a pretty good idea soon how the PD would stand.
We should be able to fill in a quick poll to see how the numbers get split up with our members to get a rough idea of the % age wait. The goal is, most folks now are aware of IV and atleast visit IV frequently. They should be able to add 1 unit to the count, so we have a rough idea of the wait times to calculate to understand realistically How long to wait for the GC Visa # allotment.
We have waited long enough on BEC

Sen. Patrick Leahy ( D-Vermont ) introduced the Uniting American Families Act ( S. 424 ) earlier this year; it has 18 co-sponsors. The bill would allow same sex couples the same immigration rights as married heterosexual couples. Passage of the bill is likely to be tied to overall immigration reform.
At the moment, same-sex partners of legal immigrants do not have the same rights to dependent status that heterosexual spouses get. This is true even if the couple is legally married in their home country. Often, the "dependent" partner must apply for a B-2 visitor visa at the consulate, to accompany his/her partner. This visa is discretionary, and consulates could refuse to issue it. In addition, B-2 status does not allow the dependent partner to work in the US. Many heterosexual dependent spouses have a status that doesn't allow them to work either, however.
As the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/03/us/politics/03immig.html) reports:
Senator Leahy�s bill would add the term �permanent partner� to sections of current immigration law that refer to married couples, and would provide a legal definition of those terms.
�I just think it�s a matter of fairness,� he said Tuesday in an interview, noting that a number of American allies, including Canada, France and Germany, recognize same-sex couples in immigration law. Photo by http://www.flickr.com/photos/boscobridalexpos/

Hi
I am about to start my process for green card. Not the best of times to file, but I absolutely cant afford to lose more time. My filing would be in EB3 as I have a 3 year bachelor degree. I have a professional accounting degree also but I dont think I would be making use of it. My approach right now is of least risk.
What I am little concerned about is the designation / job code to use. Though I have worked as a Programmer Analyst till now for 8 years now with some elements of Business Analysis - my idea is file as a Systems Analyst (Onet code - 15-1051.00 ). The reasons are two fold - one, to allow me to work as Business / Financial Analyst when I decide to change my role couple of years down the line and second, to limit the number of responses to advert given present market conditions.
I am not sure if what I am trying to do has any risks. My lawyer suggests that I should put only and only those elements in advert, for which I can provide experience letters at I 140 stage. So the exact business analysis elements may be difficult to get, but I see the job description at Onet site can quite fit my profile well. (I have done requirements analysis in my last job)
Also I am wondering if I need this approach at all. Like if I would want to work as a Business Analyst later on, I could file an another labor in anycase - the time lags to get 485 cleared are so long that I can get another labor approved before I apply for 485. This way right now I can get the priority date crystallized first up and care about job role later on.
However I dont know if the other reason - to prevent too many applications by posting this job code is a pragmatic one or not.
Please advise. Thanks much in advance.

I wonder how many of you caught this from Obama's facebook:
Advise the Advisor | The White House (http://www.whitehouse.gov/advise)
I threw in my advise on the two questions:
* How is American innovation affecting your community?
* What are the obstacles to innovation that you see in
your community? And what steps can be taken to remove them?
e-Trade and e-commerce is the most prominent product of innovation, and continues to grow.
Obstacles to innovation in my community: I belong to the community of people who are in US on a work visa. Our main obstacle is the US laws themselves, because the present laws forbid us from doing anything on our own. If I wanted to make facebook, US laws would say, hey, go back home and come back on an EB5. Of course, we cant do that. So your laws are being ridiculous

I have a question, with the current retrogression and processing dates what is the time for one to get a green card, given that the labor,I-140 being cleared within months, but what is the overall time to wait. Is the process moving forward or is there any improvement ?.
If any one can throw some light on it , would be Great.
Thanks

Welcome to world of GC.As of now,you will able to get your GC may be in 8-12yrs(minimum years) and the max cannot be calculated.If you have on your first H1 then it is right now to file for GC as you may get 3-year extension based on I140 approcal after you finish all the six years on H1..or some kind of bill may get passed before you complete all the six years and you will get the plastic(GC)..

I work for a Fortune 10 company ( I am FTE there) and have been working with them since 2001. Got my 4th 3 year H1b Extension in 2009.
I had the visit from USCIS officer few months back, she said that is it Random. She asked routine questions. In our company we have two titles a corporate title and a working title (one for industry and one for job) she was very understanding about that difference. She asked me for a salary slip, address for my HR and some routine questions for my job.
I did talk to my lawyer after that and she said that she has started hearing about that for our company and it is ok. It is nearly 3 months since then and I have not heard anything so I assume everything is ok.
Don't worry I was very unsetled to see the USCIS and it did take me few days to get over it, but everything should be ok.
