According to BBC:
Link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6667257.stm
The White House and the US Senate have reached a deal on an immigration bill that could give legal status to many of the 12m illegal immigrants in the US.
Democratic Senator Edward Kennedy confirmed the agreement that would also establish a merit-based system for future migrants.
US President George W Bush is expected to endorse the bill, which strengthens border controls, Mr Kennedy said.
The proposal comes after months of bitterly fought debate over the issue.
Points system
After first paying visa fees and a $5,000 (�2,530) fine - and returning to their home country - illegal immigrants in the US would be eligible for the planned "Z visa".
Holders of this proposed visa would have to wait between eight and 13 years for a decision on their permanent residency application.
Another key component of the deal was the establishment of a "points system" that would emphasise new immigrants' education, language and job skills over family connections in awarding green cards.
New limits would also apply to US citizens bringing foreign-born parents into the country.
The bill also establishes a two-year temporary guest worker visa.
Holders of this visa would be allowed to renew their papers twice, but would have to return home for a year between each stint, and would have virtually no chance of gaining permanent residency or citizenship under this program.
The bill is expected to cause passionate debate in the Senate next week.
Immigration reform has been one of Mr Bush's top priorities in government, after the so-called "war on terror".

That's an eternal open question all of us have here :-)
To be honest, I don't know, but based on the what I read, I gathered that it is the notice date. But the bottomline is - we all know - even USCIS knows - ITS RANDOM PROCESSING!!
Thanks

See my answers in red
I can't sleep all night.. cmon atleast give us few options.
My take on the permanent solution:
1. Recapture lost visa numbers
It will need change in law. Cannot be done without senate and congress approval
2. Medical tests are going to be valid indefinitely
Possibily but cannot be a big news, especially if we are talking about near term good news
3. Ppl who've worked for X years automatically can apply for I-485
It will need change in law. Cannot be done without senate and congress approval
5. All can apply as per the old bulletin
Already ruled out
6. ????
Most likely through a Notice of Rule Making all I-485 applications will be accept. Thats my take
cmon guys help me with this.i'm running out of ideas..:D

I also paper filed EAD on 05/13/2008, Cheques cashed very next day and also received receipt notice by mail on 05/16/2008. So far no FP notices. I also read somewhere in the forum saying no FP's when paper file.

After the renewal, I got a passport with a new passport number (the old passport is still there stapled with the new one).
My labor and H1B all have the old #. Is there a need to do anything with the new passport number wrt to my existing H1 and labor and such?

There is no straight way to get a copy of I140 approval notice. For all practical purposes the I140 reciept number will be sufficient(eg: To retain your priority date in case you file GC with another employer).
However, You can file a request using FOIA. Check the following threads.

I was trying to find the what is invloved in "Preliminary Processing" and this is what I found at
http://www.uscis.gov/propub/ProPubVAP.jsp?dockey=2ab34436fb933cfd72e8fe53f9aa0 e3c
(f) Preliminary Processing : The evidence supplied with the application is first reviewed by an officer at the National Benefits Center (NBC) to establish that the applicant meets the basic qualifying criteria to apply: he or she is an eligible alien, and he or she is not statutorily ineligible due to a felony conviction or convictions of three or more misdemeanors. If the applicant passes the preliminary processing at NBC, the application is forwarded to the District Office with jurisdiction over the applicant�s residence for an int erview and adjudication of the remaining eligibility requirements (e.g., continuous residence, physical presence, admissibility, citizenship skills, etc.). If more than one A-file exists for an applicant, files should be consolidated prior to forwarding. If filed by the applicant, EAD and advance parole requests may be processed after such applicant passes the preliminary processing. If the applicant lacks sufficient evidence to pass the preliminary processing, a Notice of Intent to Deny should be issued.
I am bit confused about the sentence in bold, so does it mean that the person is legally eligible for green card, though he has a record of felony or more than 3 mis-demeanors. My husband has one misdemeanor dur to DUI and his court disposition says "Impaired Driving". So are we to take a lawyer when we go for the interview?

Thank you for starting this thread.
I still feel that we need a separate bill for legal immigration or some amendments to the existing law to ease our plight. Clubbing us together with issues of 'undocumented workers' have two possible outcomes:
1) The bill does not clear at all. If there is so much resistance to the bill in the senate, imagine the resistance that it will receive in the house and the various voting processes that it has to go through.
2) The bill clears along with the provisions for the 'undocumented workers'. The USCIS is understaffed to handle the rush of applications that will flow in due to the passage of the bill, making the backlogs much more time-consuming than what it is today. Even though there would be enough visa numbers available, the wait times will nullify any mileage that is gained for legal immigration through the bill.
I think, passage of Frist bill with no 'guest worker' provisions for 'undocumented workers' or a separate bill altogether dedicated to legal immigration provisions are our safest bets.
Any thoughts?
All,
I posted another thread asking folks to thank core members for their sacrifice and great leadership. But at the same time few members like to "excercise their
freedom of voice" & We should all agree that constructive debate & sometimes criticism brings in new ideas and better path.
We should define ground rules for ourselves which will lead to efficient use of core members time:
1) Ensure that we make every effort to find answer before asking question/suggestion/complaint.
2) Keep one long thread without duplication.
3) Understand that Core members have job/family , so they have limited bandwidth .. please exercise patience.
4) Maintain civil constructive discourse, Which has a referanceble information if You want to send a link to a lawmaker or any other authority/influencer/potential volunteer or help someone become a wellwisher.
5) Understand the limitations of IV/lobbyist , So help them to make things happen & don't expect gurantees.
6) Never use derogatory remarks, even against proven distractors.
7) Please put forward only genuine concerns clearly to avoid misunderstanding
8) Ignore "whiners", But fully respect people with genuine concern/objection.
9) Please put forward only thoughts relevent to scope of current forum/discussion..
.. eg. "Discussing the gramatical mistake of someone's message is not relavent to this forum .." .
10) Always keep in mind that this is public forum , so It is our responsibility to show ourselves collectively in positive light
by not only passionate for our cause , But also professional in our responses.
Please add other ground rules, So that we can have a good platform to discuss our issues and influence the working of IV to begin with & US congress eventually.Thisshould be good forum for members like me, who can't fully participate because of demanding schedule, others please participate other ways too.

But look at this from Prashanthi Reddy.
http://www.reddyesq.com/GC.html#37
I am presently on H1-B and filed I-140 and I-485 under Exceptional Ability & National Interest Waiver category, I got EAD (I-765) approval also;, can I do any part time job by using EAD as well as maintaining my H1-B status?
Yes you can, as long as you continue to work for the employer that has sponsored you for the Green Card.
I want to solid answer if possible no gray area type answers. I am done with gray areas. After 6 years of wait last thing I want is gray area :) that is reason why I posted.

Please appply EAD renewal in 120 days advance. You will get in time. :)
My lawyer said I can work up to 3 months with receipt provided it was applied at least 90 days before expiry...
I think its good to call USCIS directly and confirm.. Most of us will be in same boat sooner or later...
This applies for renewal cases only.. not for first time EAD (actual card needed)

Hi Ari,
Thank you for the reply.
As I came to know L1 is denied due to skill set I have is not enough, which I do not agree and I can appeal for the same.
Will you advise me to reopen the case? And if I am reopening the case am I eligible to stay here in US till the case is finalized even if my I-94 expires?
Can I also file for H1 at the same time?
Thank You
Anil

That is GREAT!
I can understand what you have gone through and it must be a big relief for you !
Can you tell us when did you resubmit your application and what fee did they accept..old or new. A friend of mine resubmitted his application a few days ago with new fee... his original app was rejected earlier because his attorney sent thre wrong fee amount...(neither new nor old..)
Good luck and enjoy the feleing now
We submitted the application with checks covering the old fee, also included an additional check to make up the difference for new fee. USCIS has cashed in all the checks (new fee).

Shouldnt be any problem..But I suggest to file for withdrawal asap if your wife is not planning to leave the country immediately...Because, she is legally out of status if she has not started working since Oct 1st (Though one can argue on this as she has a AOS pending too)...If she leaves the country immediately, she doesnt even have to file a withdrawal...She can leave the country and either enter on AP and use EAD to work or get a H4 Visa stamped, enter on H4 and use EAD to work....Either way, I dont see any issues here....

I think you have not read my question clearly. I suggest you read it before answering. I have not seen where the USCIS website asks for pending case numbers if we choose second option. I hope someone who has done this online can shed some light on this.

If I work on EAD and do not get the EAD card before it gets expires, do I need to inform my employer about the status. If I inform them they will be removing my name from the payroll and it will be hard to include it again. It is like my job getting terminated.
