One of my relative has strange issue.While renewing H1b they forgot to renew H4( more than 6 months back). PD became current. Their lawyer is telling that she has to apply for h4(by giving explanation) before applying I485, If H4 extension is rejected because of overstay then they have to go back to India and if H4 extension is approved then they can file I 485. Did anyone faced the similar issue? Any suggestions?

I beg to differ from your point of view that approvals are on PD. If you take a good look at the PDs of approved cases posted here, you will there are many post July 04 (mostly in Oct and Dec 04) and we all know there are many before that.
They are clearly going by ND. I have seen 1/2 case approved that had ND after 8/30/07
High number of approvals over the first few days were expected. Centers review/preadjudicate cases based on 'real' receive dates (which are close to notice dates), as physical files are sorted in that sequence. That is happening. Sept VB was available couple of weeks ago, which prepared them to issue formal approvals as soon as September starts. USCIS SOP describes that once cases are preadjudicated they are shelved (wating for visa) in sequence of PD's. Therefore, most approvals are preadjudicated cases.
Congratulations to All who got approved. Best wishes to those still counting. If you ND is not too far from published dates (i.e. it is sometime in Aug/Sep/Oct 07), and your PD is high, there is very high chance of you getting a good news soon.

If DOS continues with this interpretation of spillover then there is a very small (tiny) window coming up in third quarter of FY 2010 (Apr'2010) where we might see some spillover to EB3. Here is how:
Currently there are total 4050 (EB1) + 74932 (EB2) = 78982. These are mostly pre-adjudicated and waiting for VISA numbers.
Total allocation for new FY is 140K out of which 40K (28.6%) will go to EB3. So EB1 and EB2 will have 100K left but their total demand is only 78982. So these 21K numbers will be left which will be used for new applications recieved under EB2 category.
When PD for EB2-I/C moves forward, there will be more applications coming in because many EB2-I/C people have their labor approved and they are waiting to file their I-485. However, when these new applications comes in, they are NOT processed yet and their background check is not clear yet. So even if visa numbers are available for them, they are not ready to be approved.
So at this time we poor EB3 people can hope some mercy from DOS and we hope that DOS might spill those remaining 21K numbers to EB3 so we don't waste any numbers while USCIS is adjudicating those newly recd applications under EB2.
If this 21K spillover happens then we EB3-I have to hope for another mercy from DOS that they give these 21K spillover numbers strictly based on Priority dates in EB3 and not based on EB3-ROW first and then EB3-C and then EB3-M/P and then EB3-I. We expect DOS to give these spillover based on PD and not based on country of chargeability. If that happens then all these numbers will go to EB3-I and we might see it moving to 2003.
And this is a fair expectation from DOS that they give spillover numbers based on PD because that is what they are doing in EB2-. When EB2-ROW numbers goes to EB2-I and EB2-C they go based on PD and hence EB2-I gets most of the numbers.
My two cents. Please post your comments on my theory.
If we all EB3 agrees to above theory then we should seek help from IV to make sure that spillover to EB3 happens based on PD whenever it happens.
Thanks.

Hi
I applied for H1B and Change of Status in April 2007 and got approval for the same in August 2007.
I have to go to India so, I want to know Can I Travel outside US and re-enter on H4 visa (which is valid till 2009) before October 1st?(Before H1 becomes effective)
I am aware of the fact that you can not travel outside US while your application is pending. But in my case I have the approval. So is it possible?
Thanks
You can come back to US on H4, but you may have to apply for change of status from h4 to h1 again, to be able to work in US.

It would be nicer if the age-out problem would have been mentioned as one of the painful consequences of this immigration kaos.

I agree,
Sadly, there is no commonsense or compassion shown by the current immigration laws
The Dream act is seen by many as nothing more than an amnesty. If only they would only focus on the illegal children and include all other legal children and never reward their parents with a green card I feel there could be a workable solution so this act could go through
I have left a message with Durbin's legislator to contact me to try and get appointment to discuss and willing to fly anywhere at my own cost

Hello everyone,
Here's my situation. H-1B for self and H-4 for wife valid through Jan 2010. However our respective visas have expired in Dec 2006. So we'll need to get restamping next time we leave the country. We intend to travel to India this Summer from May through July. Ideally we would like to get the stamping done then during our stay in India. However there is a complication (isn't there ever) since my wife has an employer willing to sponsor her H-1B (starting in Oct 2008). I heard from the gurus here that this will be a COS from H-4 to H-1B and it is strongly recommended not to travel when a COS is pending. I think my options are as follows :
1. Get H-4 visa stamping in India in June while there. Assuming we do a premium processing for my wife's H-1B in April and travel to India after the decision is made (say by May), will there be any problems getting the H-4 visa stamping for my wife in India since we want to return in July before her H-1B starts in Oct?
2. The other option is to get a new H-4 stamping done before applying for the COS in April. This will be either done in Canada or Mexico I guess.
3. Another option is to straight away get the H-1b stamping for my wife in India instead of H-4 but that will cause her to wait in India through October which we would like to avoid.
Personally, we would like to do the first option, just get the H-4 restamping done in June and get back to US by July. But since she'll probably have an active H-1B starting in October, wondering if that will cause any issues when we go for the H-4 stamping.
Thanks!

Guys, Please do not ridicule saralayar. he has raised a very valid point. We are so involved with the GC issue that we are not able to think beyond that. I do agree with the fact that IV is so preoccupoed with GC crisis that there is no point (or bandwidth) to raise citizenship issue. I have seen so many of my friends who came with me in US 8 years ago and are citizens by now but I am still struggling with GC with no hope in site. Sometime, I think, by the time, I will get GC (if I), they will become sr citizen :) it feels very bad but cant help it.
Funny:D:D:D
Somebody was asking that the retirement age be lowered. Gosh! and retire immediately on becoming a citizen?

I booked my ticket a month ago but haven't yet figured out accommodation and travel within DC. I'm flying into DC on Sunday, 3rd morning.
Is someone looking to share a hotel room? Alternately, is any DC area member still looking to offer a spare sleeping bag? :)
I don't know how the DC area works but would preferably like to stay closer to the event hotel. If not, I'm open to renting a car and sharing cost to get in/out of DC (heard the traffic is a nightmare though).
Please PM me directly or reply here. I'm joining the conference call tonight as well.
I am looking for accommodation too.....lemme know if u still have room.

Its a classical case of too many people and very few visa#. Every one has a valid point
1) One group says I have oldest PD I am waiting since 8 years so I need to get GC
2) Second says I have a better category (EB1 & EB2) so I need to be given preference
3) Third group says I was qualified for EB2 but company & lawyer pushed me to EB3
4) Fourth group Say I have MS PhD from US so preference is mine
Actually all 4 have valid justification but the # are so few that you pick one point and you hurt other groups. So conclusion is Admin fix will only help one interest group but it is possible. Immi reform will help everyone but is difficult/ impossible

Did you apply for your 485? Your profile does not show that it has.
The date on which your 485 is filed is the order on which the applications are processed.
your PD is only used to say whether an application is eligible for processing. Once it is eligible, it is the 485 application date that states your position in the queue.

Anyone, who has renewed their passport at CGI houston very recently, please post response time and dates. Mine was mailed on 16/6/2008 and received at the consulate on 18/6/2008. No response till now. Thanks in advance for your replies.
I recently got mine renewed at Houston. It was done via Fedex and not personal appearance/visit. Applied on April 14th and received it at home on June 24th. So about ~10 weeks. You wouldn't get any response. No point calling the number - we can't leave a voicemail too as mailbox is full! However, I sent them couple of emails on 19th June and 23rd June and voila they sent me my new passport on June 24th. I guess they were waiting for my emails ;) don't worry you'll get urs soon.

Stupid thought: can USCIS sell spillover visas at premium (say $5k or $10k) rather than distributing them in a socialistic way :D .. even @ $5k, USCIS will gain $200 million in 2010 itself :) And this selling be based purely on Priority Date, neither on the category of EB nor on country. Purely Priority-Date based - just straight out to tackle retrogression overall.

Someone mentioned that all vaccines except for Hepatitis B can be completed in 2 days...Hepatitis B takes 6 months. My PD has become current and I haven't had my medical examination yet. I have to take Hepatitis B since don't have immunization records from India.
Does this mean that I can't apply for my I-485 for the next 6 months until I am done with all my Hepatitis B shots?
Thanks,

do they ask you all these questions when you apply for F-1? you may be right. it is just that your answer can change after a few years.
No doubt. And in that case you would apply and wait for a GC like everyone else - outside the country.
