I gues with iin 2 months for AP. but i don't know in current scenario with lot of applications. There is no harm in filing AP & EAD with 485. Even if you get them you can use it or not choice is yours. but if you use EAD h1/H4 will be invalid and you have to come back in AP. Also if you come in AP then your H1/h4 will be invalid you have to use EAD.
I think 4-5 months is decent time to get AP. But with current volume I am not sure.
I don't think traveling back on AP invalids your H1. I checked with my lawyer and this is what he told me.

Guru, I intend to seek your opinion/thoughts on some thing that is going on in mind.
I am working as a contractor for a Insurance Company. My GC process is started thru a desi consulting company. Priority date is Jun 2007 EB3 - India
The company is now offerring me to join them as permanent employee. They are saying they can help me with immigration.
My question is .. I dont understand how they can help me. I think the best they can do it apply as EB2 - India. (Which we heard recently is no better then my current EB3 India.)
Am I missing anything here ? Trying to make up my mind one way or the other (to accept this position or not.)

I have a question regarding my spouse who is on H4 visa.One of the company did H1b processing through "CONSULAR PROCESSING". Her H1B is approved now.
1) She is ready to work from Oct 1st as she got some project.Her employer said that they have to apply for amendment(COS) to get I94. Is this right?
The company either has to file a COS or she needs to leave the US and re-enter in H-1B status.
2) How many weeks will it take under premium processing to get new I94
15 calendar days for CIS to make a decision
3) Do they have to apply only after Oct 1.
No. Since she is already counted towards the cap, they can apply now but the start date will be 10/1 or later.
4) Are there any chances of getting rejected at this stage.
There's always a chance of a denial, but the risk is low if she is maintaining H-4 status when the COS is filed.

Visa Statistics (http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/statistics/statistics_1476.html)
from 2000 looks like about 300K EB visa was wasted.
Also, you can see, EB1+Eb2ROW has s always been in the 50-70K range every year
EB1 I/C each is increasing from 3K to 6K, EB2 ROW is increasing from 10K to about 30K

We will sit idle and they will sit idle till the PD moves. Once the PD moves, they MIGHT get some 485 applications to process. Since the PD is retrogressed four to five years last year, most of the people with PD till the end of 2003 have already filed 485. The movement of PD until 2003 end will add some 485 to USCIS.
The real fun to watch is when the PD moves beyond Jan'04. The service center will be flooded with 485 applicaitons and the flood will keep on increasing as the dates move. Lots of permutations and combinations are invloved in this scenario.

I think fromnaija got it reversed. I think you can file form I-824 to change your request for adjustment of status (on I140) to consular processing. The processing time for this form is lengthy...and questions may arise why as to you left the country and if the job offer was still valid...epecially if you were working for the sponsoring empolyer at the time of original petiton.
As far change as changing from consular processing to adjustment of status...I think this is a simpler process..you just file a I485 form when your dates are current.
Hope this helps.. Good luck

As most of us know, Senator Specter and the Judiciary Committee passed a bill last night. All the pro-immigrant legislation remained in there (which is a good thing)
Senator Frist had threatened that he will bring his bill to the floor if the Senate Judiciary Committee does not do it. Since the bill passed the committee yesterday, most people assume that the Senate will debate Senator Specter's bill.
WRONG!
As per this news here http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2006/03/28/panel_acts_to_expand_immigrant_rights/?page=full
Despite yesterday's vote, Senate majority leader Bill Frist warned that he may substitute his bill, which only enforces borders, and ask the full Senate to vote on it instead of the far broader and more lenient measure approved yesterday by the judiciary committee.
In any event, a bruising battle on the Senate floor is expected this week. And even if the Senate approves the committee's bill, any measure that appears to provide ''amnesty" to those who are here illegally faces fierce opposition in the House, which in December passed a bill that would erect a fence along the Mexican border and make it a crime to provide social services to undocumented immigrants.
And while President Bush is a strong supporter of a guest worker program, he has signaled hesitancy to allowing undocumented immigrants to gain legal status.
Basically there is NO guarantee which bill comes to the floor. Please update this thread as you find more information about this

You always send 485/140 to the address shown in the form instructions.
Your 485/140 maybe processed by Nebraska/Texas Service centers.
Please do some reading in USCIS.gov
If i'm from Michigan, which processing center is handling my application for Green Card. Nebraska??????????????

1. An F2B petition can be converted and you will retain the original priority date as long as you do not marry before your father is granted citizenship.
2. You can and probably should pursue both family based and employment based permanent resident status simultaneously.

Instead of posting messages on any thread, please only focus on calling lawmakers. Do not distract the forum and yourself by posting messages on any other threads. I request members not to respond to any other threads. Now lets get back to work!!
Janak... only if you know your facts before calling, you will be able to make a point. It's not only about calling and bugging the lawmakers. Through conversations we can come up with ideas...
Take it easy. Good luck with your immigration application

Dear Attorney,
I greatly appreciate your time in reading my question and will be happy I get a reply. I am an derivative applicant with I-485. I have my EAD till Mid of August 2010 and my AP expired on November 2009. I read from forums that AP is not need if we are not going to travel out of USA. Even my friends said the same, so I did not renew my AP so far. Will an expired AP invalidated my status when I am staying in USA and not planing to travel within next 8 months?
Since I am on my 1-485 status and my husband got Green card I believe that I am in status. But just wanted to confirm again for assurance and for piece of mind. Any way I am planing to apply for AP in next few weeks.

Hi Guys
I have a few questions about what happens AFTER the I-485 is successfully filed?
How long before you get the notice to appear for finger printing?
How much time between getting the notice for Finger printing and the actual appointment?
When does the EAD come through and is there a way to expedite the EAD process?
When does the process go to the "name check" black hole and you informed about it?
Any other info by the experienced gurus will be appreciated

Well, my forms were returned to my attorney because of some filing issue. So instead of my EAD as I was expecting I have to refile. Of course I now have a job offer that I would like to take.
My husband (who is a US citizen) is in school and will be depending on my salary. I dont know if that counts as a big financial loss.
Where can I go to find this out. I think my attorney i doing a less than great job in giving me the proper options to choose from.
Any help would be appreciated.

My limited understanding about the GC process is that from the day I-485 is filed, a person may change his/her job only after 180 days or more, and of course by filing AC 21.
Yes, you are correct.
Also, in case the I-485 does not get approved within the 180 days after filing, then how can a person change a job without having an EAD.
You can file for EAD along with 485 or after you file 485 - EAD will be issued within 90 days (as of writing w/ current processing times) from the date of filing. You can change job only after 180 days filing 485 - In order for you to work for another employer you need EAD
A person can EAD only once I-485 is approved? Is that correct.
You will get GC itself once 485 approved, there is no need for EAD - EAD is a temporary work permit set to expire in 1 or 2 years from the date of issue
