Hi, I am living in Florida. Do I still send the I-485/EAD/AP documents to Nebraska or Texas ? Can some one please tell me.
Regards
Taken from the 485 instructions.
Where Should You File Form I-485?
Employment-based adjustment of status.
File all employment-based adjustment of status applications at the following address:
USCIS Nebraska Service Center
P.O. Box 87485
Lincoln, NE 68501-7485
This includes an EB Form I-485 filed concurrently with a Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, and an EB Form I-485 filed based on a pending or an approved Form I-140.

Hello ajaysuri, Nil, saralayaar, trueguy and all those who support this idea,
I just happened to look at this thread and I give my 100% support to this idea.
I will mail the letter mentioned at page 10.
Please let me know what else I can do.
I think IV core has gone on long vacation or they already got their GCs.

Hi All,
I got the I-485 approval/welcome notice from USCIS for myself and my spouse today. But the wierd thing is that my NSC online status still shows RFE response received and case pending (from 2008)...the welcome notice says I should expect to receive the card in 3 weeks...guess I am greened.
Anyone else face a similar situation?
Thanks.

I wanted to put down the various steps I undertook or have happened since my PD got current in hopes that it might help anybody...
PD: Nov 2005 EB2 @ NSC got current in August.
We were in India when my wife got a FP notice in July. Missed it completely but was lucky that the lawyer realized we were on vacation and requested a postponement of FP appointment.
The original FP appointment notice was for July 7th and we never received a second appointment notice until Aug 20th.
In the meanwhileI travelled back to USA and opened SRs, Infopass and sent emails to NSC, Opended an Ombudsman inquiry, contacted senators separately for myself and for my wife. I got GC approval on August 10th.
My wife had her FP taken on Sept 3rd and today we received CPO email for her too. Good luck to all who are waiting and I suggest do everything you can like SRs, emails, contacting senators, ombudsman inquiry, infopass appts. Not sure what worked.
My Main conern was that my AOS (principal applicant) would be stalled because my spouse (dependent) had expired FPs and we missed an appointment. Apparently this turned out not to be the case.
Thanks IV for a lot of useful information. All the best to everybody.

Only thing I know is that if you come before me in the line I am affected.
If you can call it EB2 line, yes he will come before you. On the other hand an EB3 guy calls it �GC� line and says that you come later with a Masters and go before him in the line. It depends on which way you look at it.
I know now you will ask me �will years spent on masters have no value�, EB3 guys will ask you �will years spent working have no value�?. Then you will ask why should they get benefited twice?, 1 in terms of getting into EB2 category and 2 in terms of using old date that was meant for different skill/category. That brings us to the first argument, EB3 guy says if I do not do that then you will get GC first though you got into the GC queue later. The arguments will never end
Call it selfish call it any thing else but these are the facts after being in the USA for last 12 years and two different labors.
Probably you couldn�t but I wish you had ported.

My point is not everyone wud then leave Vonage and move to another service , thats how Vonage wud gain, again are u sure u read the complete fine print :P
If they change the "contract" you agreed to initially - then you have every right to get out of the contract without any termination fees. It may take some arguing with the CS - but I know some people who have done this successfully with telephone companies like Verizone/Sprint etc when they changed some inconsequencial T&C.

Let us talk about the "skills" introduced by H1/L1/offshore companies
a) One guy takes the phone interview for 15 other guys with "skills" they preted to have
b) Lying on the resume with "skills" that you don't have, so that you can learn the "skill" at the expense of the client
c) "Skill" in Violating B1 visa laws and sending people on B1 to do actual work to client
d) "Skill" in violating L1 law which is used to drive down the wages by 20-30%
e) "Skill" demonstrated by indian offshorers to enter into a contract with a large corporation where they will provide warm bodies in exchange for a very low billing rate. Client wouldn't have any ability to interview the incoming cosultant, which means the offshorer employee is learning at the expense of the foolish client. Then that will be touted as "savings".
f) "Skill" of fly-by-night operators to shave off 70% of the billing rate through a 6-level pyramid of contracting companies
Should I add to this list of "skills" further?
Yes they are very true. Except in f) Generally 6 level pyramid of contracting is financially unviable. Max I have seen is around 4. Beyond that there is nothing left.
Regarding a) , b) and e) from the client standpoint say a financial company all that they care for is the job being done at lower cost. IT departments are cost centers and management dont care much about cost centers.
To some extent Obama administration is cracking down on H1B employers abuse.
Well thats natural when democratic party has control over whitehouse.

Thanks for the replies fellas, this isn't a renewal I am talking about. This is the first time I have applied for an EAD. BTW, does anyone know what's involved in converting from H4 to EAD status i.e.
1. Do you need to apply for SSN before you take a job offer?
A. Yes, you can not start working w/o a SSN
2. EAD by itself is enough to accept employment?
A. No, refer to 1
3. Can you take jobs/resign as and when you please or do you have to somehow get back to H4 status if you quit job on EAD?
A. You can work wherever you want to.
4. Does use of EAD by H4, change non-immigrant status of H1 worker?
A. No, it does not.
Thanks

Guys,
I need your opinion and advise on this.
Old file - First File:
-----------------
current employer:A
EB3-Country: India(Bharat)-RIR-PD:07/2*/2003, I-140 approved - 485/AP/EAD/G-325 A filed on 07/12/2007 - EAD received, Soon FP appointment - NO AP yet - (myself-Primary+3) filing
New file - Second File:
---------------------
Future Employer: B
EB2-Country: India(Bharat)-PERM: PD:06/2*/2006,I-140 approved - NO 485 is filed under this yet.
Note: Labor for both applications has similar codes except new filing is based
on "Seniority" and thus EB2.
Now in light of October 2007 visa bulletin prediction given on www.murthy.com, It looks like EB2 may go ahead with comparision to EB3 ( Eb2: may stuck at January 2003 and EB3 May 2001/2) and by reading page 130 to 134 from the following link it looks like Priority date still matters even after filing 485 and your case can go on VISA HOLD SHELF if at the time of adjudication visa number is not available.
http://www.ilw.com/seminars/august2002_citation2b.pdf
Questions:
1) Suppose my EB2 PD (I-140 approved, no 485 filed) become current prior to
my EB3 PD (current employment- 485 is filed under this) and for some
months if I see EB3 may not move ahead what would be the best startegy
out of following?
- PORT (EB2 PD: 06/2*/2006) PD to my current 485 file which is based on
EB3 with PD 07/2*/2003. Can we PORT NEW PD to the file based on OLD
PD? I know OLD PD can be ported to NEW PD but what about reverse
condition?
- File another set (Myself+3) of 485 as new application under EB2 (Future
Employer) mentioning current A# numbers.
- File another set (Myself+3) of 485 as new application under EB2 (Future
Employer) mentioning current A# numbers with PORTING of OLD PD (EB3
PD 07/2*/2003).
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Get well soon Mamu...
If you look at the profile of the members who voted yes in this poll. They all have EB2 PD from June 2006 to 2007 except one or two. These guys will never understand the wait of a 2001 or 2002 filer. They dont know what it means to wait in limbo for years.
Can you guys who voted yes please share your qualifications and the kind of work you are doing?

I have had couple of LUDs on my cases (9/10 and 9/13) and nothing after that. The last time I gave my fingerprints were in Jan 2009, so I am sure they have expired. Should I proactively get the biometrics done (by taking an infopass and requesting biometrics notice) or wait for them to send me the notice?
Not sure if this will help if I open up an SR or take an infopass. Anyone got their 485 approved while their biometrics were expired?

Why dont USCIS clarify on the report they put out
1. Lack of description and detail about what it is ?
2. No time stamp on the report
3. Provide some commentary and detail about the parameters used in the report.

THe reason USCIS is showing low numbers for the reason that , no one will then raise the question for recpature. Looking at the numbers they will say, O, the numbers are so low, whats the need for recapture and we will be left hanging cold and dry.
This is a plot of a well planned strategy.
Something is screwed up.....
Mexico has over 2000 cases in April 2001 yet its PD is May 1st 2001
India has less 500 cases in April 2001 yet its PD is Apr 15 2001
This along with CIS giving "bad/incorrect" data to IV is indication of someone's malicious intentions.
I appreciate IV's effort in getting FOIA executed and now working on aftermath of it.
For people who are angered with whats been going on in last couple of days. All I can say is to try volunteering for IV even for a month.

I am not sure how to navigate from LINGO.COM, but the link gives the info...share if any body has exp. with this company....
2 years aggreement. 5000 mins with the below condition (from Terms & Conditions)
Lingo�s advertised rates for international calls are generally the rates charged for calls to landline telephones. Some calls to international mobile telephones, or to international telephone numbers considered to be special services calls, are charged a different (usually higher) rate than calls to landline telephones. The rates you will be charged are set forth in the calling plan rate tables and are typically designated by a "MOB", "cellular", "mobile" or "M" notation.
Not sure if this applies to the new plan.

Let's set the questionable ethics of this idea aside for the moment.
I think that any loss that the bank occurs is treated as income on your part by the I.R.S in case of a "short-sale" as it is considered "forgiven debt". Also, in some states, a second "piggy-back" mortgage is a "recourse" loan - that would mean that they can come after you for that portion.
In case of a "sheriff-sale" there are no taxes owed - except for any second mortgage, HELOC, etc.
Think it through - you may have trouble renting a place or finding a job.
I had bought a house 2 years back thinking that i will sell it after couple of years and make money. I know many people might have done that. I didnt knwo that having a house will become a burden for me wrt moving to a different place in search of a job. I do see jobs in cities outside my state and was thinking of applying for those jobs. My problem is that if i sell my house, i will have to pay from my own pocket.
Having a house in this market has become a pain as it has made me immobile with respect to good job offers.
I was thinking that incase i find a job in a different state and cannot travel back home frequently and also renting is not a good option then should i leave the house to the bank for foreclosure?
Will this affect my GC process. I have no plans of buying a house in coming years.
What might be an outcome of foreclosure, keeping in mind that i am wiating for my GC process.
If anyone had an experiecne like this or may know someone, please share ur thought..
