PLEASE HELP ME WITH ANSWERS ON ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS, APPROVED I360 VAWA AND INTERVIEW?
I just received an approved i360 vawa petition from VSC dated January 26, 2011. The petition was approved on December 20, 2010 and I have a pending I485, filed on January 2010 and I asked the local office during my interview to hold on to it till my VAWA I360 is approved. Now, my VAWA I360 has been approved, I would immensely appreciate your kind help if someone can help me with the following questions.
1. How long does it take for an approved VAWA I360 to get notified to National Benefit Center to link my pending I485 to my approved I360?
2. Has anyone ever experienced this situation and how long did it take before securing interview notice?
3. Do I need to contact the local office since I suspect my pending I485 should be at the NBC or do you think its been transferred to local office.
4. My work permit EAD is expiring on March 9th this year and I would like to renew it since I still have a pending I485 since April last year and approved I360 this year. Do you think I have to renew my EAD since I'm hoping to secure my green card soon rather than paying another $380 this week for my work permit renewal?
If you need additional information, do let me know.
I have read couple of things online but I would really appreciate if someone can help me out. Many thanks as look forward to hearing from you guys.

My second 140 may be approved by this month end.. Neb-Nov. 08-filing... i am hoping i will be able to port my PD..to 12-05
Now..in case i lose my job... and since i am in my 9th yr-h1..which expires may-2010..
suppose ..i cant find a job ...and if i have to leave US.....(but my employer agrees not to cancel my 140)
a.) what should i do to retain my GC process?
b.) How do i switch to CP processing....
Thanks in advance..
You need to file I 824 form and let USCSIS know that you want to transfer your case to consulate. If you are from Mumbai consulate area then u can do AC I 140. becasue I 824 can take 1-2 years to transfer your details.
While in AC I 140 you just need receipt of I 824 and attorney certified package. More details you can get on internet. If you PD is near to current then u can initiate this process and thus with in 3-4 months if PD become current you can get visa interview. Generally they dont ask for hard ship reason for AC I 140 but in your case you can explain about your wait time and impact on your career etc..
To do AC I 140 or normal CP process u need offer letter from employer.

From your post it is not clear if your 140 is already approved or pending.
Anyhow, assuming it is approved and he cancels, then an RFE is bound to come, it is best to file for AC21 with new employer, since RFE could also involve EVL with recent paystubs................. now since in your case even your new job is with a consulting company (do not know how big it is), you might get stuck with RFE too.

President Obama will send up to 1,200 National Guard troops to the Southwest border and increase spending on law enforcement, yielding to demands from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers there that border security be tightened, administration officials said.
That was the opening of an article in the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/26/us/26border.html?partner=rss&emc=rss). Here are additional excerpts:
Homeland Security officials said that the troops would provide support to law enforcement officers already working along the border by helping observe and monitor traffic between official crossing points, and would help analyze trafficking patterns in hopes of intercepting illegal drug shipments. They performed similar tasks in an earlier deployment along the border from 2006 to 2008, when they also assisted with road and fence construction. The troops have not been involved directly in intercepting border crossers.
In addition to the soldiers, the White House said it would request $500 million in supplemental funds to pay for more federal agents, prosecutors, investigators and technology at the border.
Homeland Security officials have said that they have significantly increased border security efforts since Mr. Obama took office. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, a former governor of Arizona, said last month that the border was “as secure now as it has ever been,” though she conceded there was room for improvement. Critics on the right derided her remarks as out of touch.

My wife's H1 ends and before it expires she is leaving for home country, there she will apply for h4 to come back on.

in home country She gets H4 stamp..When she enters US again she gets H4 status..
No need to file another change of status...

I dont know your exact visa background, but why do you want to use EAD, it is always better to stay on h1, if you are planning to shift employer then do h1 transfer. There are lots of threads explaining the pros and cons of using AC21 and switchin to EAD etc... but the safest way is to stay on h1.
If you can then i would suggest staying on h1, if you are shiftin employer talk to new one to ask for h1 transfer...

Hi,
I am really confused about my current status.
I am currently on Opt Extension, which expires on June 1st 2010.
When i filed for H1b visa last year April 2009.
I got my petition approved, but my change of status was denied.
The reason was stated as :
The status previously accorded the worker had expired before this petition was filed. Therefore, the worker si not eligible for change of status.
Now, I am still in US. Is my status illegal?

Thanks.

Hi all,
I am currently out of USA.My new employer has submitted H1 Transfer and extension of stay.
The petition has been approved along with new I-94. I have the original I-797 with me .
I understand that we have to surrender I-94 before leaving USA.But in my case I got I-94 after I left USA.Now I need to go for visa stamping in India.
Should I submit the new I-94 to the US consulate in India?
Please advise.
Thank you
