Usually at this stage, RFEs are for Employment verification. Did you use AC21 to change job or roles? Did you change your house address?

Gurus Pls help
I was with Company A whn I got married which had my visa and I 94 till Nov 08,2006. My wife wnt to consul. and got her visa and I-94 till same date.
I came back to US alone and changed to company B in July 06 and got my I-94 till 2009. Since my wife came to USA after that she didnt get her xtension.
i forgot to file for her xtension.
I had to agn change the company C in Dec 06. Thats whn i realised her I-94 expired in Nov. My lawyer said it shud be Ok since she has not passed 180 days after it has expired. or else she cud be black listed
Today lawyer got an email from USCIS saying they r waiting on security check on my wife. Wht r the options my wife has becos her 180 days will reach in May 08. Can she stay here till a decision on her is finalised by USCIS?
Guruls..Pls any help will be appreciated..
Also,
How come no one in your company B asked you whether you are married or not and whether or not you need H4 filed for you spouse. Same thing about company C. Either of these companies' HR or immigration lawyer should have asked you about dependents and spouse?
I dont know but even the smallest of consulting companies dont make this kind of mistake and they would remind you if you forget. My company's lawyer is quite lazy and slow but even his paralegal asked all the right questions and got all documents needed and didnt forget stuff when filing for various things.

You might want to add some important words there. Otherwise you will be at the tail of 12 million people queue and god knows how long would that take them to clear.
There are a big disadvantage for them.
- They will not be able to milk us of those dollars on EAD/AP renewals year after year
Just 2 simple things...
1, Green card to anyone who has been "legally" employed in the US for 5 Consecutive years( can provide W2 for the past 5 years)
2, Citizenship for someone who has been in the US "legally" for 10 years.
1.1, Once this provision kicks in normal approval within a specific time frame. say 6/12 months.
1.2, They can also tie the 5 GC years with some minimum salary/prevailing age with region of employment.
Advantages to us..
- Removes all the stuff to do with country impartiality.
- Makes us independent of employer.
- Makes us competitive.
Advantages for them..
- Simple
- Provides proof that the individual has been productive to the economy/country in the past.
- They may wanna tie Citizenship with the 40 Credits from Social Security or something if that helps.
- Removes loopholes which assists in driving down wages as employee would like to make sure he is employed enough to meet the prevailing wage for the year. (Drive the complain that we bring down rates etc)
There might be more advantages, but I just wrote down a few.

Most of us are missing the point here. The bill is aimed at those immigrants who have obtained advanced degrees in the US. And believe me, there are lot of aspiring immigrants who have been waiting since 2002-2003 who also happen to have American degrees, most of them stuck with EB3. Priority Dates will still be in play. Most probably, there will be a new category. These additional visas will help clear up backlogs irrespective of your current visa category. If you have a US degree and your PD is current, you will be eligible. Not sure what the confusion is about :)
What you say is true but can you please let me know what you think might be the reasoning of the introducer of the bill.
1. Get rid of DV because they add no value to economy - That i can understand
2. Give the saved 55 k visa to US educated GC applicants. That i CANNOT understand
WHY ?? Don't GC applicants who work but are not educated here contribute to the economy also
Instead of focussing the energy of an organiazation towards unrealistic targets such as removal of country quota and recapture of unused visa it would be better to channel all efforts to get the 55K visas given to people with older priority date, and if it makes EB2 guys panicky ask for a rule to keep the date difference between EB2 and EB3 by 3 years (an arbitary number) . That will keep EB2 and EB3 happy instead of the bill in teh current form

Hastert Deals Blow to Immigration Bill
By SUZANNE GAMBOA
The Associated Press
Tuesday, June 13, 2006; 7:57 PM
WASHINGTON -- Hopes for a quick compromise on immigration were dealt a blow Tuesday after House Speaker Dennis Hastert said he wanted to take a "long look" at a Senate bill offering possible citizenship to millions of illegal immigrants.
Hastert said hearings on the Senate bill should be held before appointing anyone to a House-Senate committee to negotiate a compromise immigration bill. Later, he said he was unsure what the House's next move would be.
The Immigration Debate
IMG ALT The Washington Post's coverage of the immigration issue, from the politics of revising the nation's immigration laws to the impact of illegal immigration on the U.S.-Mexico border and the Washington region.
"We're going to take a long look at it," Hastert said late Tuesday.

Thanks to the core members and volunteers for working hard on this immigration issue. Hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel and hope it's not a never ending tunnel :)
I have asked a few of my friends to contribute, but as somebody else has mentioned, it's extremely hard to convince people to contribute. We can't force them :D

> On the same note guys..Nothing changes after GC.
Actually, it does. If you get a GC, you have the option to get citizenship in 5 yrs. If
you get citizenship, you can get Social security.....irrespective of whether you live in
US or in Timbaktu. So IMO, the biggest advantage of GC is getting back the money
you've been paying as part of Social security taxes.
And for those of you who think Social Security will run bankrupt....that will never happen,
or the US president will lose his job. The Govt will always fund SS even if it means
increasing a ballooning deficit.

Hi
Can I file for I-485 while I am waiting for I-140 approval. My PD is current under eb2 and my I-140 was filed on Jan-2007. I am going to upgrade to PP for I-140 but since lots of people will start going to file for PP, it is very much likely that NSC will issue RFE to reduce there workload. So my question is while I wait for I-140 approval, can I file I-485?
Yes, my attorney just confirmed that we do not need to get I-140 approved and directly file I-485. YES!!!

I recently renewed my passport at DC embassy. It was not a great experience. The online application system gave me a date of Nov 27th. I go to consulate on the scheduled time to find that the office is closed. There were many like me who had come from far in cold to submit applications. With no choice we go back on 30th and there is huge line and only one window open. The lady at window was efficient but it was just too much for one person. Took me 3 hrs to get to window after which it was flat 30 sec (since I had payment and everything ready).
They gave me a date of Jan 5th for the passport return. That was almost 5 weeks. Since I was not planning any trips I was OK but there were lots of folks who wanted to make India trip and were forced to opt for tatkal scheme. I guess a way to make money. My friend went to NYC around Nov 15th and got his passport in 3 working days.
There was no apology for wasting our time due to their mistakes in appointment system. Any ways I never expected any so no disappointment. I will post the forum once I get my new passport on how that goes.

Are the attorneys and law firms spreading rumors about
EB retogression on July 2nd ?
Cynical view:
May be they hope to discourage other people from filing this
weekend?
Non-cynical view:
May be they everyone is nervous and gone insane?:D
Is it possible to organize such a huge collaborative effort?
Thanks,

The best thing to do right now: At the cost of repeating myself, bear with me.
I believe this is going to work: Write letters and post them to your senators. Senate is in session, and all its going to take is a little spark.
In the past, we have sent emails and webfaxes to senators only to get canned- pre typed responses.
Recently, I have realised that senators favour written letters, posted (with postage stamp) especially if it comes from constituents from their state. Same with house reps. I have talked to my senator's staff and they have advised me to write a letter.
The staff member said, letters are always read, and responded. Senator will send an inquiry to the appropriate agency. This will create an impact, all of us should write letters.
Hi, I did that today. A personalized letter along with copies of the Interim Bulletin and te USCIS press release on July 2.
Next, I want to write to other senators who are friendly to skilled immigrants (Cantwell, Cornyn etc). Has someone compiled a list of them?

The recurring payment is a nice idea, however the options are limited.
For e.g. I tried to revise mine to $25 from $20, there's no option to do so.
I will probably cancel this subscription and setup one from my bank.
$25, $50, $75, $100 are ideal amounts. I don't know if PayPal charges for each subscription option you create(I would think not).
Please chew on it and and implement, if you think it's good.

I quoted a fact (rational and valid) to argue your assumptions. I never even claimed to know what USCIS would do and how they would present the data. It was you who presented a theory to justify that we should not go with any change in the spill over. I want to know why you dont want EB3I not to proceed with this measure. Is it because you believe it will take away numbers from EB2 or EB3I is doomed with plenty of cases and any amount will not make any changes. I believe its perhaps the earlier than the later. See, we all have our needs and we all want to look for ourselves first (including you and me). Its basic human nature. We all can generate obfuscatory facts to push our agenda. But at the end does it justify the means ?
I just presented a theory. Right or wrong is upto you to decide. I never said EB3 should not do anything for or against spillover. All I am saying is spill over either helps Eb3 from 2001 - 2003 (perhaps some 2004) or helps Eb2 post 2005 now for all other Eb3 folks the hope lies in PD recapture or upgrading to EB2 ( if spill over rules benefit EB2 only).
What about all those visa subs in July 07 with PD in 2002 - 2004 who are waiting less than EB2 2005 cases? Is it legal for them to get GC quicker the answer is YES. Is it ethical? I would leave it to the readers to decide.
