This USCIS fiasco seems to have more twists than Anna Nicole Smith case.

07/12/2007: Truth to Rumor of Resrictionist Senators Having Influenced USCIS Decision of July 2007 EB New Filing
There is an unconfirmed source of information that a couple of restrictionist U.S. Senators influenced the USCIS decision to reject July applications for their alleged fear that since July 2007 Visa Bulletin would open a flood gate of hundreds of thousands of 485 applications, the public might take it as the government giving out a sort of "amnesty" to these floods of people. We hope that there is no truth to such rumor. However, if it is true, it is indeed shocking that individual legislators could interfere with the government process on "personal" basis and without the formal legislative process of public notice and participation. We urge the U.S. Senate to get to the bottom of this rumor and take appropriate action for correction under the Senate rules.

What happens when the laws of America clash with the laws of physics? In the Never-Never Land of Immigration, the natural laws of physics must defer to human-made law. This is the absurd answer of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Status (USCIS), the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (CA5) in its Sept. 29 decision, Bokhari v. Holder. The case involves the interpretation of a USCIS regulation, 8 C.F.R. � 274a.12(b)(20), which came into being because of the problems caused by bureaucratic delay. The regulation allows the automatic grant of work permission for up...

If we were able to get the 3 year visa rather than 1 year extensions, then the main problem that the BEC give us in a practical sense is that if we change jobs we loss our priority dates.
So while the slow processing is an administration issue, the law could allow for priority dates to be kept something like this:
"If a labor application has been pending for longer than [some time] then as of [some date], the applicant immigrant is able to keep the priority date of the original labor application whether or not the application is later withdrawn or disapproved."
This in combination with 3 year extensions would give people freedom to either refile for PERM with same employer or move jobs and file for PERM with a new employer.
----
Another solution would be to allow DoL to accept a large fee for premium processing. Making the fee large would have the effect of not too many using it and thus not overwhelming DoL, but it also might generate sufficient income to apply more resources to the remaining outstanding applications, and benefiting all while being practical.

The reason this doesn't work is because WebClient works asynchronously. Your for loop runs to completion, spawning the appropriate WebClient instances independently without making sure the WebClient instance it spawned gets the data.
My quick advice would be to use something recursive where the function gets called only when a WebClient's completed event fires. You can use a counter that increments before the function gets called to simulate the index value as well.

The easiest solution would be going to MataMoros, Mexico for stamping. This is the best option for us. Easy, affordable, and takes only 1 day. India, you need to answer several questions, interview to be attended, and ofcourse, they treat everybody as though the person requesting for visa is a criminal.
I went to mexico couple of days back, and it was done easily

AFAIK, to switch to consular processing, you may need to withdraw the I485 and file an amended I140 indicating Consular processing. Please confirm with an attorney
There was a post on the attorney forum with some additional information
It is certainly possible to continue the green card process in your situation. The key requirement is that once your PD becomes current you MUST have a full time permanent job offer in the US, which you intend to accept.
If you abandon your I-485 and pursue consular processing, that position MUST be in the same position and with the same employer that obtained your labor certification. AC-21 DOES NOT APPLY TO CONSULAR PROCESSING. If you maintain either your A/P validity or H-1 visa validity, as long as the position is in the "same or similar occupation", it can be with any US employer.
Keep in mind that even if your family ends up abandoning their I-485's, as long as you do not abandon your I-485 they will be able to "follow to join" you once your AOS is granted.
Also keep in mind the possibility of EB-1 eligibility if your position with the new company can be characterized as managerial or executive and you are able to secure a transfer back to the US in a managerial or executive position after working in India for at least one year.

EAD renewal question
Hi
When renewing EAD paper filing not E-file, I had written the check in favor of USCIS instead of "U.S.Department of Homeland security" , do you think there would be a issue for them to accept the cheque?

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
This is not 100% true. However, they will have some effect!
does anyone know when they will discuss it - in the house and in the senate?
Senate: last 2 weeks of May.

I have sent the request for renewal of my and my wife's advance parole to the USCIS about 10 days back.
Following is the list of documents that I have sent, along with a fees of $360, online (each)
- Copy of the Confirmation Receipt notice.
- Copy of I-485 petition.
- Current Status of I-485: Case received and pending.
- Copy of I-94.
- Copy of current approved I-512L, authorization for Parole of an Alien Into the United States.
- Copy of Passport.
- Two photographs.
- Copy of Drivers License.
Do I need to send any fingerprinting document?
Is there anything else that I need to take care of related to this request for advance parole renewal?
I really appreciate your help in the matter. I got the receipt from USCIS.

All of the other values display correctly, right?
If you are using VS, can you set a breakpoint at DetailsPanel.ItemsSource = stories and see if all of the values are also present?

My I-485 is pending, was filed in July, 07. My PD is June, 04 (EB2 India). I-140 is approved. I have to leave the US for a year to work on an expat assignment beginning last week of December, 07. I have my EAD and AP. Also, I am on a valid H1-B until May, 2008 but will be applying for an extension until May, 2009.
Please let me know your thoughts if it would be ok for me to leave the US for a continuous period of one year while my I-485 is pending? I plan to renter the US on H-1B and not EAD/AP.
Also, does one need to be physically present in the US to renew EAD and AP? My EAD and AP will expire in September, 07 but will I be able to renew them when I am back in Jan,09?
For the period I am gone, do I need to pay any taxes on my foreign-earned income if I am going to a jurisdiction with which India has a favorable tax treaty? If my I-485 is pending but I am not working in the US, I do not need to pay taxes for the income earned abroad if I do not meet the "substantial prsence test" (183 days)?
Any thoughts will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi all,
My H1 was expired last year with 6 years terms so I used my EAD since last year. Can I go back to H1B still because my i-485 is still pending for renewal another 3 years term? Which law is winning, 6 years H1B if did not continue renew my H1 or I-485 pending so I can continue renew? I have found different attorney have different answer.

They informed me that they cannot give any specific timelines in which the processing will be completed.
I did find lot of people in these same boat in different forums.

Pay stub amount is not in issue. Paystub is submitted as evidence that you are working (and thus in valid status on day you file the H1). As for visa, a valid visa in ppt can be used for travel though you have changed employers. But on reentry you must show the original receipt notice of employer (to whom you transferred). If you have got the approval, show that to get an extended I-94 and documenting correct employer on the I-94 and USCIS records.
