If I'am not mistaken I feel even the Lawyer gets the fp notice check with your lawyer.
Yes, you are perfectly right.
Sodh, call your lawyer! If they sent you one, he got one as well. or she:D

AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
Just when we thought it was safe to go back in the immigration waters again. Transparency, we were promised it. One year into the new administration, however, it remains an elusive concept. That is it did, until yesterday. Yesterday, I saw a poster at the CIS that revealed exactly how the agency views immigration lawyers. It was a poster of small fish in the water being stalked by a large shark. I walked past it and literally did a comic book like double take.
Underneath in comparatively small letters there is a caption that warns people to protect themselves against those who are not authorized to help them. There was no indication or explanation, however, of what that could mean, other than the picture of giant shark.
The subliminal message was both clear and offensive. I dare the agency to say I am reading too much into it. Google �metaphors and similes.� Nine times out of ten the definition includes a lawyer shark comparison/example. Couple this with the daily reports we receive where our clients are told �why do you have a lawyer, your lawyer knows nothing.�
Contrary to the government�s implication, however, immigration lawyers are not predatory. The bulk of immigration lawyers I know, and I know a lot of them, literally agonize over the fates of their clients. They spend hours upon hours trying to assist them through a labyrinth of inconsistent rules, regulations (when we actually get them) and guidance.
AILA works hard to combat immigration fraud and the unauthorized practice of law. It also does all it can to educate 15,000 immigration lawyers about both the law and ethics.
I agree that immigrants need to be wary of perpetrators of immigration fraud. The government, however, should warn of the true predators - those practicing law without a license. Its posters should identify who those individuals are and provide warnings or information calculated to educate about unscrupulous practices. Simply, a broad statement below an icon typically used to vilify attorneys does nothing of the sort.
I am not sure how to depict the government�s purported message in its elaborate seascape. Perhaps a tidal wave depicting millions being thrown back indiscriminately on foreign shores or a lamprey latched onto an unsuspecting gentle manatee. I need to think about it. I take metaphors seriously as they �are dangerous and are not to be trifled with.� Please remove the posters immediately.

I have a simple stupid question. Do we have to attach passport size photos when applying for AP renewal?
Thanks in advance.
Yes you will need 2 photos for AP renewal , else you will receive RFE for photos.

Hi,
We (me and my wife) have received RFEs to submit G-325A forms on 9/24/09 and our lawyer submitted the requested documents last week on 10/20/09, on the next day USCIS online status changed to "We have received RFEs documents and this case processing has resumed........" on very next day 10/22/09 online status changed to "RFEs sent......."
Now we (me and my wife) and our lawyer received same RFEs again thoguh our lawyer submitted requested documents.
Please share your thoughts on how should i go from here...should i submit documents again?? or should i take an info pass and try to find out whats gaing on with our cases?
Thanks in advance

I would go ahead and submit the documents again to be on the safe side. Not sure if taking Infopass would be of any help to you in this case. You dont want to take chances and risk getting a I-485 denial on the grounds of not responding to RFE. If I were you, I would send them the docs again.

It is better and more meaningful to do yearly predictions rather than monthly predictions. This way, we will waste less time and atleast see the dates moving by a few days.

Hi Guys,
In the instructions to file EAD they say to print name and alien receipt number on the back of the photos.
What number should we write? I-485 receipt number or receipt number for last EAD?
Can someone please respond?
Thanks

Folks :
My paper EAD application has been rejected twice by USCIS. Here is the thread that discusses that :
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum70-self-filing-documents-forms-directions-mailing/1598364-ead-renewal-rejected-twice-need-advice.html
I have eFiled this time. So we'll wait and see.
I am now planning to request expedited processing of my application. For an expedited processing to be approved, it needs to satisfy atleast one of the following criteria according to USCIS...
1) Severe financial loss to company or individual
2) Extreme emergent situation
3) Humanitarian situation
4) Nonprofit status of requesting organization in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States
5) Department of Defense or National Interest Situation (Note: Request must come from official United States Government entity and state that delay will be detrimental to our Government)
6) USCIS error
7) Compelling interest of USCIS
I feel I am fall under the point 1) and point 6). The IO that I talked to over the phone told me to write to USCIS with appropriate documentation.
At this time, I would like to learn from you guys if anyone of you have applied for expedited processing, what criteria did you apply under and what was your experience with it.
Further, I would appreciate if you guys comment on the reason that I plan to apply under...Do guys think it will work?
Thanks!

I agree with the post above.
I think the best option he has is to speak with the CBP officer at the port of entry and explain him the situation: that he wanted to use automatic visa revalidation and by mistake he surrendered I 94. Hopefully he will issue a new I 94 for him. But more likely he will ask him to go to the consulate and get the new stamp.
What he should NOT do is: to enter on the attached I 94 on H1 visa extension approval (the reason is technical: usually the I 94 that comes attached with change of status has the SAME number as your old I 94 attached to passport; so for practical pusposes, he has surrender both his I 94s). If he now enters with the I94 attached with H1 approval, (and as that is already cancelled when he surrendered other I 94), he will be considered present illegally. This would have much worse consequencies than to wait in Torronto and get the visa stamped.
Good Luck.

I have never taken photos with the camera actually under water, but I have taken pictures of fish in aquarium, and to my knowledge water movement appear to not matter for the clarity of the image. This is as long as the water is clear in itself, and of course, there is no air bubbles or some other "stuff" moving in the water - if you have lots of air-bubbles, they will leave traces in flowing (or still) water if the shutter speed is short.

Hi All,
I am planning to paper file my wife's EAD renewal and AP for both me and my wife.
Questions:-
1. Can anyone who paper filed recently post information on filing EAD/AP
2. Since my wife filed for I-485 last year and paid $1010 fees,she falls under FEE WAIVER for both EAD and AP-I believe she can renew EAD/AP unlimited till she gets GC?
3. Can someone post what did they do additional for filing as FEE WAIVER?
Any detailed steps on paper filing with FEE WAIVER would be great.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Regards,
everonh1

I am confused here, can some one shed light on this.
Say if we don't apply for AP-Advance Parole while filing with I-485 and EAD now as vaild stamped H1b is good till August 2008.In this situation while applying for AP next week would we have to pay new fee of I-485 $1010 as with new fee structure effective Aug 1st,2007 EAD & AP comes as a package along with it.
Please correct me if I have misintrepreted it.

Hi,
Need quick suggestion:
Company A filed for GC. Labor and I-140 was approved. I-485 was filed during July 2007.
I changed employer in June 2009; replied to RFE and filed AC21 in July 2009.
I came to know that my GC sponsring company is going to close the company soon. My current immigration attorney is suggesting that if that happens; and if INS came to know that GC sponsring company is closing down, they will revoke my I-140.
Is it true? I thought after AC21 is invoked; whatever happens to GC sponsring company, it will not impact my GC application in any way.
Please advice.
V
you should be fine ...
just keep your AC21 documents intact...
Have a happy new year ..dont worry,

Thank you for response.
I checked with attorney and I believe that is true, PP for H1b is not carried over on RFE reply. Response to RFE will go in a regular queue for evaluation. But, I hope this is not the case.
Yes, I read in forums RFE's and 221g both have become more regular these days.
I'll let the forum know outcome of this case. Thank you for visiting this thread!

Hi All,
I sent h1b extension application to california center on june 22nd and my application is still not approved. My current visa was valid until July 30th. I need to travel to India on Dec 10th due to urgent reasons . Please suggest what should I do
1. Can I travel while my extension is pending?
2. Can I raise a service request to speed up the processing?
2. or Upgrading to PP is the only option?
I do have EAD and advance parole through my husband's GC application. If I use parole for travel what happens to my H1b visa and GC application filed through my employer. My visa will still be valid or not?
Please help...
Thanks in advance

Answers:
1. There is nothing/ no one who can stop you from travelling if you want. The question to worry about is can you come back ;) (I know it is a smart alec answer, but couldn't resist it - and that is indeed the bottom line).
2. SR to speed up processing might not be of much help
3. PP will certainly make it time bound - however, even in case of PP, they can send the application for administrative process, which can still take more than the time you have
Now, what happens in case you travel while the application is still pending? Your application for extension will be considered abandoned, and for re-entry, you will necessarily need to use AP. And since your extension is considered abandoned, you will necessarily need to use EAD to work, even for your current employer (that had filed the extension).
Hope it helps.

I am assuming your wife is H4? H4 to F1 shouldnt be a problem, this is the same path I took years ago before becoming H1.
There is only one issue I can think of and that is travelling outside the country. She might not be issued an F1 visa stamp at a consulate for travel outside the country since her H4 was based on yours which now has immigrant intent since you applied for PERM (LCA and I-140). The consulate will probably not believe she has non-immigrant intent. She would have to stay in the country until she changed to H1 and got that stamped, or until you get AP for both of you. But if you have no plans to leave the country I dont see that as an issue. Best to consult a proper immigration attorney since all I can tell you is my experience.
Good luck.
