Can anyone tell me after my 6th year of H1 i have a 3 year extension of h1 visa, can i go to india and come back on that visa or do i need to have AP. I got my 140 approved and i got my 485 receipt notices.
you can use the visa, need not use AP if you dont want to. If you have a visa stamping already, using the H1 visa is the preferred way to return:
- you get an I-94 valid for 3 more years (with AP you get one for just one year, which is a bit weird)
- using AP atleast sometimes pushes you into secondary inspection which is another hour spent with the customs and border patrol folks. While they are typically nice and friendly, I personally hate being stuck in that no-mans land at the airport.
Only advantage of AP is if your GC is approved while you are abroad, you are supposed to return on AP as your H1 status would have ended. in practice people have re-entered on H1 in such cases and its been ok. Depending on your PD this may not may not be a concern

I recently found out that someone had stolen my credit card information to purchase items online. I have since then closed that credit card and went ahead and put a fraud alert for 90 days on my credit report. I don't believe my SSN was stolen, but I want to check my credit report and also for protection have the alert so that no one tries to apply for loans etc. using any of my information.
Will having the fraud alert have an impact on my 485 filing in any way? Let me know what the best process is to handle this if it does have an impact on 485 background checks, and pending green card approvals etc.
I have no criminal history.
Thanks,

Fraud alert does not go into your permanent credit report. All this does it is that when you try to open a new loan/credit account, the lender will see that there is a fraud alert on your profile and may call you to verify. It should not have any effect on your I-485.
I have been thinking of signing up with lifelock.com. You may wanna check them out.

It is my guess that USCIS will take the finger printing records that they have in file when we filed 485 and approve the future EAD's.
I am on the same boat. I applied on May 9, recd a receipt dated May 11 and no additional info after that.

Got an RFE to produce employment verification letter from my current employer. Yes, i changed the employer recently but didn't file AC-21.
Do you know how long USCIS takes to update the status online?
Thanks.

I had a question about using using AC21.
Here is the scenario: Let us say I work for XYZ Company who applied for my 140 and 485. I have approved 140, H-1b, EAD and AP.
If XYZ laid me off or I left them for career progression or more money 180 days after my 485 was filed and 140 approved, what happens to my 485 application?
Wouldn't USCIS question that since my sponsoring employer does not exist anymore, who am I going to work for once I get my green card? or is this coverd under AC21?
Please advice!
sir, if you have worked 180 days for this employer after filling of 485, there are no issues with CIS, atleast legally. However there are some unfortunate incidents going on where IO wrongfully denied 485 petitions when a person changed jobs using AC-21. I urge you to take part in IV AC-21 letters campaign which will help you and all of us to survive any unfortunate, unforseen job loss due to current downturn in economy. (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22182) It is actully very easy, just print 4 pages and mail it thru' USPS. Won't even cost you $2. Remember this for yours and our future and peace of mind. Arul, I humbly request you to do so for sake of our community. Thanks!

Hey gaurav - I double checked with a few colleagues, and this is a WPF issue. Unfortunately, there isn't a good workaround at this time. My only suggestion would be to not use those abnormally wide fonts at large text sizes :P

I am trying to get a green card for the US. My parents are from east asia and I was born in Canada. I went to University in Maryland from 1992-96 and obtained my dental license. I am licensed in the US and intend to purchase a dental office soon. I will still be keeping my dental office in Canada for at least 1 year once I am able to work in the US. I heard about a investment visa however I am not investing more than $400k but it will employ at least 4 US nationals(ctizens). Can I still use the investment visa or can I get a visa for opening a secondary dental office in the US and still keep my existing office in Canada until I qualify for a green card. Also can anyone recommend a good lawyer. How much should it cost for me and my family(wife and 3 children ). Email me if you wish AT

Folks make sure the A number is same in both applications, if they are different USCIS puts it aside and will not process, I found out today while getting my address verified with USCIS IO, they had entered my address wrongly.
WHile checking the IO said it was good that my wife's derivate app under me, and her self 485 App A numbers match. Otherwise, they put it in pending state forever.
I am still in a confused state.IV friends continue to neglect my threads.:D.
I was in L2 EAD and had a A# starting with 1 .Now after filing for GC all my receipt notices have a different A# starting with"0"."Alien number is something like SSN " was my persumption.I had also filled in the applications for GC using the L2 EAD alien number.Attorney never replies.Totally confused.:confused:

This story is priceless -- after all the anti-H1B and anti-immigrant rhetoric,
"The California Republican Party has decided no American is qualified to take one of its most crucial positions � state deputy political director � and has hired a Canadian for the job through a coveted H-1B visa."

Hi all,
I submitted an application via premium processing for EB-1a with USCIS at the Texas Premium Processing Centre last month (April 2007).
I received an RFE notification via letter after two weeks listing the requirement of further evidence against 3 out of the 8 criteria I submitted.
I can submit further evidence - but my question is this ... "Why have they not made mention of the other 5 criteria I submitted" ? Has this failed ? Do they not matter ?. I am quite concerned because they have not made any mention of my other criteria ? Does anyone have any advice.
Thanks in advance.
There is a complete black box on the other side and you should be prepared for all 8 in case a query comes. good luck!

Here are few pending immigration bills which have a higher chances of passing in both house and senate. I was looking at some of the bills and noticed when a bill (or a varient )is introduced in both houses simultaneously the chances of that bill passing are higher.
This may be a good idea for us to try pushing some of the EB related measures if we can
into these bills. I know someone may say Hey these are family related bills But remember how they add the immigration, healthcare, veteran measures into budget or appropriation bills.....similarly we can try.
1 . Uniting American Families Act of 2009 (Introduced in Senate)[S.424.IS]
2 . Uniting American Families Act of 2009 (Introduced in House)[H.R.1024.IH]
This bill and varient were introduced in both house and senate. Note: It touches the
SEC. 4. NUMERICAL LIMITATIONS ON INDIVIDUAL FOREIGN STATES This is one item we always talk about removing the country limits......
The other bills in progress are
3 . Immigration Fraud Prevention Act of 2009 (Introduced in House)[H.R.1992.IH]
4 . Immigration Fraud Prevention Act of 2009 (Introduced in Senate)[S.577.IS]
5 . To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to exempt surviving spouses of United States citizens from the numerical limitations described in section 201 of such Act. (Introduced in Senate)[S.815.IS]
6 . To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide for relief to surviving spouses and children. (Introduced in House)[H.R.1870.IH]
Any thoughts.....

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The attorneys at Fong & Chun, LLP have helped hundreds of legal immigrants seek citizenship over the years. Whether we have worked with you at a naturalization drive, through labor unions, or in our own offices, citizenship is the ultimate goal of most immigrants. Today, the government announced (http://articles.latimes.com/2010/aug/22/local/la-me-refugee-assistance-20100823) that cash assistance to elderly and disabled immigrants who were granted entry based on humanitarian reasons may lose benefits unless they have naturalization applications pending. Many of those affected are people who were granted asylum or refugee status.
Most immigrants are eligible for naturalization after a 3 or 5 year period after their initial residency period begins. Many immigrants delay applying for naturalization because they fear the English or history exams. While the naturalization exam can seem daunting, the government allows for applicants to re-take their exams if they fail the first time. Some immigrants who are long term residents may even take the examination in their native language, but many immigrants simply put off the naturalization process because it has become intimidating or costly. However, in most cases, an immigrant who truly desires to naturalize and is eligible to do so can make an application and be successful with the right type of support and preparation. Today's announcement by the administration poses yet another reason for immigrants who have been putting off their citizenship application to call and find a qualified immigration attorney (http://www.fongandchun.com/lawyer-attorney-1416111.html) to help them with the process. Fong & Chun encourages those eligible for naturalization make an application and realize their dreams of finally becoming US citizens. ---ecf

I have similar issue and spoke to my Immig Attorney, who advised me as follows-
(1) In order to maintain your resident alien status, you should be in USA more than 181 days, in other words it is adviseable to stay less than 180 days outside USA.
(2) It is adviseable that you return to USA, ASAP, once you get CRIS email that GC approval has been provided.
(3) I believe you are going to use AP. You would prepare your I-94 card at the POA and the POA officer would ask you where you are employed before putting stamp on I-94. Be prepared to answer that question. Most likely 99%, the POE IO will not ask any proof. However, it is adviseable to have a current job (sort of Employment Verification Letter) and leave letter approval.
All the best.
