USCIS has recently published a new fact sheet of common questions and answers for members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/Immigration%20Information%20for%20Members%20of%20t he%20U.S.%20Armed%20Forces%20and%20their%20Familie s.pdf) The fact sheet contains the most frequently asked questions that USCIS receives.
The fact sheet is worth reading if you are in the Armed Forces because the answers to some of the questions are different (and usually more advantageous) to members and/or dependents of those in the Armed Forces. For instance, if you are a civilian, obtained your green card through a marriage to a U.S. Citizen and you have been married for less than two years, you must file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=f858d59cb7a5d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD) to remove the conditional residence and obtain your permanent green card. You must file this form even if you intend on applying for citizenship a year later. (Persons who are married to U.S. citizens may apply for citizenship in three years.)
Members of the armed forces do not have to file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence to remove conditional residence obtained through a marriage to a U.S. Citizen, if the foreign born spouse was inducted or enlisted in the military and is applying for naturalization based on qualifying military service. Thus, military personnel are permitted to "skip a step" and do not need to file form I-751.
Additional questions and answers and helpful email addresses to USCIS liaisons are included on the fact sheet.

I just checked the copy sent to me from my law office. It says I-485 pending for the current status. I got the EAD renewed without any problem.
I saw somewhere that you can alos write AOS pending.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
Actually I am e-filing, so the option for me are PAR:PAROLEE. DO not see any 'AOS pending' status.
1. Did you also enter on H1b and then switched using EAD?
2. So do you have H1B on 'Last entry status' and 'AOS pending' on 'Current status' questions?
Thanks again..

Most of the times all they want it that you introduce them as a sub vendor and pay them $2-5/hr. So the new relation ship will be
Z -> New Vendor -> Y -> X -> You

Yes, I just did that last month. I went to take my FP a week before my actual appointment date. I just walked in on Saturday morning. They were nice and helpful. But I did take my 485 Notice and FP Notice, you do need that. Mine was done in St. Paul, Minnesota service center.
Hi Saroj,
Thanks for the info. I have not got FP notice and it has been over 4 months from I-485 receipt date. Do you think ASC will entertain FP request if I just walk in with I-485 receipt?

It would be interesting to split the poll as: Apr-May, June-July, Sept-Oct and Nov-Dec 05. I know there r not many between apr 05 and sept 05. but there is a lot in mar05 and sept to dec05 as labors under perm started clearing after sept 05.

It seems as if the Big B has not given up on this issue just yet. He is making it a point to mention it atleast once each week, despite what other international developments are going on. I think he will be putting the full court press on the house republicans, it will be interesting to see whether he gets them to accept some compromise.

I am from India...Here are some details.
The travels in India will help a lot in these matters.
My parents got from ICICI. I also heard that Reliance is good to.
The insurance mainly covers the hospital charges in case of hospital admission. Not that great for office visits.
If the age is more than 60, the insurance is almost doubled..

Hi all,
My wife has MSc in Comp and has work experience of 2 yrs as a programmer in India. She came last year on F2 and applied for H1 this year but She didn't get selected in the lottery. Someone told her that she can apply for jobs in universities and they do H1 (no cap).
Can someone tell us that this is true? and also suggest us where else can she try looking for jobs? Are all the Not-for-Profit organizations same in terms of doing H1 (no cap)?
I appreciate any suggestions and thanks in advance.

Hello,
I am from India. My employer had applied for PERM EB2 labor while my old EB3 labor was still pending. My EB3 labor, with priority date of MAR 2005, was approved before July fiasco and I was able to apply for 485/EAD/AP/etc.
Last August (2007), my PERM labor was approved too; I had the chance to file a new I140 and request interfiling with my existing 485 application. But my lawyer suggested me not file a new I140 and we let the approved EB2 labor expire.
Now, I am having second thoughts, as I did then. Is there any way I can use the old expired labor (> 180 days after approval). I know I cannot use it directly to file I140, but are there any ancillary benefits of having an approved, albeit expired labor? I am thinking of either checking with my employer if they can file a new EB2 PERM labor if I qualify, or switching my jobs.
Thanks.

Hi,
I got a RFE on my 485 to submit all the W-2 and 1040. I do not have one of my W-2 form which my previous employer never provided me.
I want to write a covering letter regarding non availability of that W2. I have email proofs of my requests to the employer regarding the W2. I also want to attach a copy of the letter which IRS has sent me regarding the complaint I have filed regarding the same.
Could any of you guys help me with a format of the letter and also what all I need to include in that letter. I also need to know to whom should this letter be addressed.
Thanks for any help.

From immigration-law
The situation is particularly critical because of the USCIS decision not to accept the I-485 filings without the medical report. AILA demanded leniency but the USCIS reportely refused to accept such demand. Since medical report is "initial evidence" to I-485 filing, under the recent rule change, any I-485 filing with the medical report can be rejected or denied. Reports indicate that there are a huge backlog in scheduling medical examination in most of the areas in the country.
Does anyone face backlogs in getting medical examination? Please reply. Just Want to check the authenticity of this news?

Yes, it is a 10 page form which probably went to your lawyer. If not, The lawyer can follow up with DOL.

I have a friend in South Asia who wants to accept credit card payments for his website. There is no way for him to link paypal or any payment gateway to his bank account. I'm in the US with an H1B and I know i'm not allowed to start a business or even have a merchant account since this qualifies as active investing.
Is there anyway I can help him? I'm not interested in making any money off of this.
I know I could open a paypal account and point it to my bank account. That way, as long as the transactions are < $20000/yr , it won't be reported to the IRS and all I have to do is pay tax on the interest from my bank account. What could be potential problems with this approach? If this is illegal, I would refrain from doing it.
Can someone suggest a better way? My friend is willing to pay part of the transaction fees to whatever service he has to use.

eb2waiter,
senthil1 has a very good answer, now if you are asking for the specific date, no one can answer your question...
better pray for the CIR to be passed first.
then get a comfortable chair and wait for the 20+ millions illegals to get ahead of you in the queue

My attorney is encouraging me to take part in the proposed AILF Class Action Lawsuit against the Government by submitting I-485 to USCIS knowing that its going to be rejected. Anyone decided on this? What are the pros and cons? If there is a favorable outcome, I-485 may be accepted at that time (months? / years?). But here is my big concern: if I am a part of that lawsuit, my 485 may be considerably delayed (my PD is Feb 2005) ! I am aware that IV is encouraging lawsuit too. Any comments?
My question is, how long is the lawsuit, and what happens to your case if your pd becomes current? Will USCIS process your case if your are embroiled in a lawsuit, or will they wait till the lawsuit is over?

wow that was quick! I hope you're right that the Master's cap isn't related to the educational level of the job. On the other hand, I just talked to a friend who was sponsored by a big company that does heaps of h-1b's, and they got him to apply under the regular cap so it would be easier...
