Hi,
Both, me and my wife have approved I-140 through two seperate consulting companies.
Can we apply for I-485 individually and add the other as dependant at the same time?
Thanks
Nitin

I read somewhere in the forum that one guy contacted USCIS regarding I-140 PP and he was told by USCIS representative that they honor Postmark date. If USCIS honors Postmark date not the receive date they one must be careful sending application on June 29th.
Edit/Delete Message
I think the classis example of April 1 2007 . If that was true USICS might have to reject 1,30,0000 petitions .Received date is important .

No I don't. You basically don't want to keep the door open wide. Once you are IN you want the door to be closed. You don't worry about loosing US jobs to India/China, but you don't want Indians/Chinese to enter USA and enjoy the "quality of life" you enjoy here.
Nobody enters USA to live a "low profile" life.
You are getting dangerously accustomed to the "taking things for granted" style. You are loosing your competitive skills.
I personally know that more energetic people coming in is kind of dangerous even for my job safety-net (basically I cannot take things for granted). But I still have not learned to think beyond humanity, and I believe sharing is good. The new guys also deserve the chance for American dream.
And I don't forget that I was also once in H1B, and came with a lot of dreams and skills.
It has nothing to do with the door closing... There is something called law. If you are so eager to share, are you ready to share your apt with a homeless person...:D.

Thanks gbof and Anil for replying...
I raised SR on Aug 12th..No Response Yet...
Infopass appointment said that my file got assigned to Examination officer on Aug 4th...Not sure if Examination Officer and IO are same or not...
But the real kicker is i got second FP on July 26th, 2010 for Code 1...I didnt see any LUD after second FP...I am guessing this is where i am stuck with second time name check or back ground check verifications...
Also is it good to go for DHS 7001 form right way...i mean ombudsman request...
Donot worry about FP....2nd FP is not absolute must.....there are too many approvals without 2fp. Just hold on and you will get the mail outta blue.
BTW: I had 3 FPs, in sep07, june09 and dec09. They had somehow alloted 2A#s and each generated fp. Finally, they consolidated A#s.....Hopefully, my next posting 'll be after I get cards in hand (hopefully, those are waiting for me in my mail-box, today) this evening :D:D

Good response from almost all . I didnot call Steve King and Lamar Smith. as well as those who are co -sponsers.
Also skipped Luis Gutirezze .. He was supportive in sub committe hearing last time .
Aide from Rep Chris Cannon took my name and no and she told me some one will get back to me as she is not sure about bill.
Guys keep calling.. People just take message and average call takes 1 min or less.

Any way with vonage, one can call other friends in all other 60 counties and others part of us too..

GLUS,
Can you tell us more about communicating to ALIF? Is it via email?
I think all the folks who visit this thread must send out a complaint.
Also please contact your attorneys and tell them to complain on this half baked PIMS implementation.
My wife received her approval email from Mumbai consulate yesterday. When I contacted my attorney, he asked that after she returns to the US, to send him more details and he will lodge a complaint with the DOS through his liaison.

I guess we'll need to ADD to that number:
1. BEC stuck folks who could not file in July 07
2. PERM approvals starting August 07
to the 47,728. Plus multiply by 2.1( for dependents ). That'll give the total VISA numbers required for this category to make it Current.
If I have to guess-- (1) would be very less, may be 100-200 max
(2) around 5000 ( just a PUMA)
So, there are about 53000 EB2 I applications. and 2.1 * 53000 = 111300.
If we can create 111300, EB2 I visas then it'll be CURRENT. easy:)
They haven't mentioned there whether dependents are included or not. So multiplying by 2.1 is probably not correct nor wrong at this point. I would think dependents are included in this. Everybody needs to file an I-485 I presume and they are just counting the pending ones.

I do not remember the predictions of last year but the fact is , last year it jumped from Jan 2005 (in Feb/March) to May 2006 (in September). That definitely is a BIG movement.
You are absolutely right. More precisely, last year with a grant of >19000 visas EB2 India PD jumped an impressive ~450 days. This year's available visa is not definitely known but is for sure >9000 and may be as much as ~36000. Just keep those numbers in memory. And we wait on...

Dear Vamsi, SVK, NK, Shahuja, Abuddyz, and all eligible visa aspirants:
I just got an email from the Chennai consulate, 29th day from the interview, stating the visa was stamped today:
"Thank you for your e-mail.
Our records show that your visa was issued today, January 31. You
should be receiving your passport/visa soon.
Visa Information Unit
American Consulate General
Chennai 600006, India
Telephone: 91 44 2857 4242
Fax: 91 44 2811 2027
Website: http://chennai.usconsulate.gov"
This means there is light at the end of the tunnel. Please have faith in your abilities, and in your God. You will hear back soon.
Moral of the story: "Never use a Consulate in India for visa re-validation again."
Please learn from this story, and never again trust Consulates in India for extension purposes.
God bless you all.:)
How do you know that experience in Canada or Mexico will be any different from experience in India? It can be only better at a consulate that hasn't yet implemented PIMS, which I don't think there are any at this point. At least you are at home with family. I think the worst is to be stuck in Canada or Mexico for a month. I think the moral of the story is to use AP whenever possible.

somebody with skills in finding out stuff should research on how much money per year is contributed by the working h1b employees and given the numbers that are sent back how much is actually "stolen" from them. I once again say "stolen" from them. If they are sent back they should atleast be entitled to all the money that was "ilegally" taken from them.
this total amount should be published in some widely read news source as " money stolen for benefit of citizens from hard working legal aliens". or as "Skilled legal aliens returning home leave back their earnings for the hungry and poor in US" or something of that sort!!

I didn't get the phone# for USCIS compaint dept. But some one(may be ashres11) posted one phone#18003238603 for DHS. I called that number and it turned out Inspector General office. As i reported earlier. He told me to call regular USCIS 800. I said it's useless. He took some note and asked to call this new number 877-246-8253.

Thinking differently isnt bad. It just came to my mind that this may also be tried.
I think we have proved something like this not very long back about 60-70 years back. We have set bonfires of all our imported clothes and said NO to anything made in Britain. Right. So what did we really mean. I am sure many brands we wear today are international too. Nothing wrong.
Why did somebody show the other side to be slapped, did he like to be slapped. Its to get the point across.
Its a way of protest, a peaceful way to get attention to a problem which must be fixed.
If most of you dont agree, then I may be wrong, lets see response.
But lets always maintain that they do care and its a two way requirement and not just ours. We may be desperate due to system failure, but they are too, else there wouldnt be an immigration program. Most countries dont have, if I am not wrong. Its different with US which is a big country and same is the case with Canada which is trying to build.They need people.

That's good news APB.
I guess it may either be the SR that I opened for my wife or the letter I wrote to Napolitano...my wife got a call from a CSR from DC and she told that her case is pending because of the Biometrics, she said she is issuing new biometrics...the speaker phone was on...and I interjected...how come I got approved w/o the Biometrics...she was clueless...I told her how many times can Biometrics notice be issued...my attorney called TSC on 10th of Sept and that time a notice was issued which we never received and then again two weeks later someone else issued another notice.....then someone else told that Biom is fine it just needs uploading and it has been two weeks since then the only thing that is happening is the Visas getting used up .....I said what's the point of FP/Biom if visas are no longer available which surely will be the case in 3 weeks....
In any case didn't expect a phone call from them so was surprised.

Hi SOP..

Thanks

Sending flowers is a nice way of showing protest.
Gandhi's methods are aimed at changing the heart of adversaries by doing good to them.
So, a blood donation drive is also a worthy next step to this.
But we also should make sure that the news is spread to common people too.
