Yes but I was thinking, spouse and children are counted in family based visas and how exempting them will benefit EB visas. Correct me if I'm wrong. :confused:

I have got this response from Congressional Liaison, when I asked them for Update on my case whether I have to wiat till Oct or not based on the recent update on visa bulletin.
They Sent me This Email:
Your I-485 received on 5/21/07 and the Southern Service Center(TSC) is working these types of applications filed 9/11/06. They received your biometrics from the ASC 6/13/07 and the case has been assigned to an Adjudicating Officer for review. But, by the processing times, you still has a little time to wait.
Couple of question: They received your biometrics from the ASC 6/13/07 : Is this mean my FBI and Name Check cleared : I did my FP on same day?
the case has been assigned to an Adjudicating Officer for review: Is this mean I am in the last stage of getting final decision?
Anyone ?
RajForGC,
How does one go about getting in touch with a congressional Liaison?
Thanks

Is it possible to change to Consular processing while I-140 and I-485 is in pending.
I filed 485 in Aug and do not have the receipt either.
Kindly advice.

You will have 10 days from day of the denial to leave the country unless you file for Motion to Reopen (MTR).
Did you try filing another H1b through another employer after the RFE?
If that is the case and if you have the LIN number then you may be able to continue working with your current client (if new employer and client etc are ok with it).
If you have all the documents to go for MTR then you can go for it. I am not an attorney but this is per my knowledge.
Good Luck :o

USCIS - Change of Address Information (http://www.uscis.gov/addresschange)
Penalties for Failure to Comply
A willful failure to give written notice to the USCIS of a change of address within 10 days of moving to the new address is a misdemeanor crime. If convicted, you (or parent or legal guardian of an alien under age 14 who is required to give notice) can be fined up to $200 or imprisoned up to 30 days, or both. The alien may also be subject to removal from the United States. (INA � 266(b)). Compliance with the requirement to notify the USCIS of any address changes is also a condition of your stay in the United States. Failure to comply could also jeopardize your ability to obtain a future visa or other immigration benefit.

I usually spend some time every day at my San Francisco Bay Area immigration law office making inquires on pending cases. It is a frustrating process because I rarely receive answers and when I do, they usually are not helpful.
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS") has recently released guidance on how to make inquiries at their Service Centers (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/USCIS%20update.pdf). They provide a three step process. The first step is to call their National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283. If the issue is not resolved in 30 days, you proceed on to the next step which is to email the USCIS Service Center where your case is pending. The email addresses are:
California Service Center csc-ncsc-followup@dhs.gov Vermont Service Center vsc.ncscfollowup@dhs.gov Nebraska Service Center ncscfollowup.nsc@dhs.gov Texas Service Center tsc.ncscfollowup@dhs.gov (tsc.ncsfollowup@dhs.gov)
If there is no response to the email, you proceed to the last step which is to notify the USCIS Headquarters office of Service Center Operations by email at SCOPSSCATA@dhs.gov. The notice indicates that you will receive a response from this email within ten days.
It remains to be seen whether this system actually works. I will try it out in a few cases and will report back what happens.

Hi,
I am on h1b status and my wife is on h4. She applied for an h1b(COS) this year (FY 2011) and the application has been approved. We received all the documents regarding H1b approval(except I-94). her employer said that we won't get an extended I-94 in this case.
My concerns are,
our visa's are getting expired on Sep 23(as per I-94 on visa its till 30Sep) and my company is planning to extend both H1B and H4. As she would be able to start work only from Oct 1 2010 and the visa is expiring on Sep 23, I think we have to extend her visa to avoid out-of-status. If I extend her h4 will it make her already approved H1b invalid?
if its required to extend the H4 is it mandatory to start working on 1 Oct 2010? (she is pregnant now and due is on Nov 2010 , so cannot start on Oct-1)
thanks
Jim

Hi,
Can the work experience without H1B be countable when you apply for I140 (EB2, BS + 5yrs ) ?
I kept my part time job about 3 yrs while I was working as a full timer at other companies. But the problem is I was getting paid but didn't file H1B as a part timer. I know that I should have filed for H1B but I just had a H1B as a full timer with my other company. If I can count my part time work experience ( 3yrs part time / 2 = 1.5 yrs as full time) along with my full time experience (3.7 yrs), It exceeds 5 yrs of related work experience that requires for EB2.
Thanks, dbn
To be working on part time while on H1-B for an employer that is not the one who sponsored your H1-B is not legal. Please refer to a heated discussion currently under way in the Away-Qxter discussion topic.

Hi,
Got a 1-797 Notice of Action today in Mail for my pending I-485 and the Notice Type: WELCOME NOTICE: SECTION: Adjustment as direct beneficiary of immigrant petition.
In the details section it says" Welcome to United States"...your application for permanent residence has been approved...we will soon mail you a new Permananet Resident Card....
HOWEVER, the online status still shows "Case pending" and NO LUD update.
1. Any reason to get concerned as the online case status still show it as Pending altough I see approval in Mail Notice?
2. Should i call customer service?
3. How long typically the card in mail takes?
Congratulations!!!
Online updateds are done in batch jobs in the night.
So i guess you should see change in online status tomorrow if not call customer service.

I have a original copy whereas the lawyer has the approved I140.
Should I ask for the original or is that copy good enough?

This must be the worst immigrant experience I have heard.
I am sorry to hear that you have to go through this. You must approach social workers' group in your local area. They will help you get proper treatment from reliable sources, and they will also appoint you a lawyer if you cant afford one.
Dont let that loser off the hook. Despite of all emotions involved in this case, go after him hard and square. Make him pay for what he did to your daughter.
I dont know about your GC process, for which consulting an immigration lawyer is the best thing to do, right now you have a much important issue at hand than just a green card.
