Hello,
The new fee structure goes into effect Aug 17.
I vaguely remember reading an anecdote that there is no need to pay yearly renewal fees in the new fee structure. (Am I right?) Please share your views.
Are there any advantages to filing per new fees?
Thanks,

My priority date is in Oct 2005 (ROW) and yesterday was the 180th day after filing my I-485 application. I need some help in deciding if I should wait for the green card with my current employer or think of changing the job using AC21. Your suggestions will be really helpful.
Thanks.
check the next VB (should be out in a day or two). Based on a thread where someone found the dates from the Mumbai consulate website, EB-3 ROW might move to July 2005. if it does, it might be worthwhile hanging on a couple of more months to this job and see if you become current.
On the othe rhand if you get a really nice offer, jump. AC-21 only adds a bit of complication to your job, it does not prevent you from getting a GC.

Hi,
My EAD card was sent to my old address, which I failed to update in time. I have been following up with USCIS for more than a month, but haven't been able to receive the card or the approval notice so far. I have to start working on Monday (Aug 11th), so this is really urgent!!
I can join and submit the EAD card within 90 days (as per the I-9), but my employer needs to see the approval letter (something which proves to them that my EAD case has been approved).
I do have the following which indicate my approved status:
1. My online status used to show that the case was approved (it said that the card was mailed to me). Now it has changed and says that a new letter (not the EAD card) has been mailed, but I won't get this letter till after Aug. 11th, my joining date. I do have a printout of the previous status, though.
2. I managed to get a letter from my university saying that my case has been approved.
3. I have the receipt notice, which shows that the case was submitted and received by USCIS.
My company still insisted that they would need a letter from USCIS saying that my case has been approved. Any advice on what I can do from here??
many thanks!!

But just make sure your parents carry a document that has details about your name, ssn, address, job, etc.
In case the office asks where they are going to stay, etc. They might know all this, but will be helpful to have on paper too.
Other than that, nothing is required, just their passports and visas.
Dont forget to get medical insurance. Ofcourse its not mandatory.

I understand the 180 days rule after filing 485. what if the eb3(140 approved) based 485 has been pending for 180 days, and a newly approved eb2 140 has just been ported to the pending 485.
Yes, 180 days rules applies to your 485 receipt date on your receipt notice.
Is there a rule that the 180 days started over again after porting, since it's a new 140, which implys the applicant intends to work for the 140 position for a period of time.
There is no rule that makes the "180 days" clock to restart.
What are the risks if the applicant changes the job right after eb2 140 gets approved, and changed the underlining 140 of the pending 485 from eb3 to the newly approved eb2.
There are no risks as long as your eb2 140 is approved, you have crossed 180 days count. Additionally, AFTER you have received a confirmation from USCIS that your eb3 to eb2 porting is successful and the new approved 140 is the underlying petition to support your 485

My PD is Sep 2004 EB3. If I decide to move to another employer who could also file an EB2 labor for me, how long should I wait before they could file a EB2 perm application for me?
Suppose I apply for a position by replying to a job posting (advertisement) on monster.com or dice.com and I get that job, can the company use the same ad for applying for my PERM labor?

...that location of the attorney does not matter, unless you need him/her to accompany you to the local USCIS office for complicated cases, or for interviews.
I live in Chicagoland but my attorney is Ron Gotcher in CA (Calabassas/LA area), and I would recommend him very highly. The main thing I liked about him was that he is very reasonable and you can phone/email him as many times as you need to without getting charged left, right, and center.
I would recommend that you pick an attorney that is competent and charges a reasonable price, and one that you're comfortable with as opposed to where they're located.

Hi all,
I am from North Carolina and I am applying for ITIN for my wife along with 1040.
I understand I need to send 1040 & ITIN to the ITIN address:
Internal Revenue Service
ITIN Operation
P.O. Box 149342
Austin, TX 78714-9342
Being from NC, the mailing address for my 1040 is:
Internal Revenue Service Center
Atlanta, GA 39901-0002
I should be using ONLY the ITIN address for my this year's tax return and not the address for Atlanta, GA. Am I correct?
Once IRS send me the ITIN for my wife in 4-6 weeks, I should use that to submit my state return (where I am getting a refund). The state return would happen only after the deadline of Apr 17 because its only then that I shall get an ITIN for my wife.
Please advise.

My in-laws got their visa at new delhi consulate on friday. they had appointment in english at new delhi. I had been looking for hindi appt dates at new delhi since june mid every day for 6-7 hours at morning and evening but could not get any hindi dates. Finally, had to book english dates on july 23 for july 30 appointment. here is my in-laws' experience:
first, they had a VO who asked them qs in english with accent. they were not able to understand a thing, so they requested him to ask qs in hindi after which he asked them to go to another counter where a young guy asked them qs in hindi. he was very polite and smiling all the time.
VO: Show me ur daughter's visa
we did not send them my wife's visa since i was sponsoring them.
Dad: We do not have daughter's visa. Here is son-in-law's visa
VO looked at the visa (I-797 and visa stamp copy), checked in computer for 4-5 mins and then asked
VO: Was it an arranged marriage?
Dad: Yes
VO: Tell me more about the process.
Dad: It was arranged marriage. My son-in-law's parents contacted us and then the girl and boy met each other and .....he described the process of arranged marriage.
VO smiled and asked: What do you do?
Dad: I am a businessman.
VO: What kind of business you do?
Dad told about his business
VO: Aapka Visa Manzoor ho gaya hai (Your visa has been approved).

This question is for an attorney:
My spouse's case is this: She has applied for AOS I-485 (India) based on an underlying EB3 I-140 (PD feb. 2007) petition during July 2007. At that time she had also applied for an EB2 NIW self petition, which was recently approved in April 2009.
Two issues arise now:
a) The PD date of the newly approved I-140 is August 2007.How do we inform USCIS to capture previously approved EB3 I-140's PD. She has used AC21 to port to same or similar job, but he previous EB3 I-140 has not been revoked. Is it possible to capture previous PD?
b) Do we have to send new I-485's or can we ask USCIS to interile newly approved EB2 NIW I-140 to the already submitted I-485s. If yes, how do we do that ?
Thanks for the help.

Thank you both for the response. Yes, the new filing fees apply as you rightly said and I was able to Efile also.
The link below was useful in efiling. Just one variation though, USCIS schedules the biometrics appointment, so no need to call the 800 # to schedule one as mentioned in the link.

I am on H1-B, and about to apply for I140.
My wife has recently got a F1 visa (and her H4 visa has been left valid).
I am applying for I140. Is it ok to mention her name on my I140 as my spouse?
Thanks in advance,
Ace
Your wife's H4 is no longer valid since she switched to F1. You cannot hold non-immigrant status in two different classification at the same time. However, I think it is okay and even expedient that you mention her in your I-140.

For the antis who are still making the tired argument that we need to enforce existing immigration laws before we can consider legalizing the millions of out of status immigrants in the US. This is one more piece of evidence that serious enforcement is happening.

Thanks! And yes, those were taken in New York. Brooklyn, to be exact...
The first one is the 7th Avenue stop on F. That's actually 8th Ave, but the station is really big. :) The other ones are also of 8th Ave and taken from my apartment.
I'm gonna make some more, as I soon as I upload some other photos.
