Prompted me to take some action... proof that such posts are indeed useful. :)
Called USCIS and opened a service request:
- over 30 days (July 2 filer), no biometric appointment for self and spouse
- Alien (A) number different on I-140 and I-485 for primary applicant (me)
- Got a referral number, call back if you don't hear from us within 45 days.
Customer Service rep could not provide any information about name check, etc. (Said IO will be able to provide that if they contact you... ).

When you join a medical residency on J1 visa, you are subject to 2 years home residency requirement (HRR) before you can apply for green card. What that means i s you have to go back tou your country for 2 years BEFORE you are eligible for any other kind of visa or change in status. You wont be be able to apply for i-485/EAD/ green card even if your husband gets his in the meantime if HRR is not satisfied
The ONLY way to get around the HRR is to sign a contract to work in an medically underserved area for 3 years (on H1b). Once your 3 years are over, you can then apply for GC by what ever means, work or family.
Overall doing residency on J1 is easier as you dont need to clear USMLE step 3, there are more opprtunities as more programs offer J1 positions. Also, if you want to do fellowship, there are more programs in all specialities which will offer J1, not H1. Also, you dont pay medicare or social security tax on J1 which means more money. On the other hand after completing your residency/fellowship you will have less job opportunitis as you will have to find an employer who falls in a geographically underserved area. PM me if you need any more info.

Sorry to hear that case is gone to wrong office. The (c)(9)() class of EAD filing instruction is that it must be sent where I485 is being processed.
During infopass visit, officer must have given some clue.
If I were you, I would be sending the supporting documents with a covering letter stating the blunder. This type of mistake should not be uncommon to USCIS offices and they should have procedures to fix it.

Are H1 is Really in a speciality Occupation?
When we apply 1st time they are asking all the documents which is fine.
When we apply Extension they are asking all the details with Paystubs,client letter.
When we apply Transfer they are asking all the details with Paystubs.
1. Read this pdf. http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/E1eng.pdf This should answer your questions on H-1B
2. Documents are needed to demonstrate that offered job is of specialty occupation and the beneficiary meets job qualification. It also has checks for employer who is offering H-1B job.
3. Pay stubs are needed so as to prove that beneficiary is maintaining valid H-1B status when another H-1B petition is filed.
4. Client Letter is needed so that Employer (petitioner) can demonstrate that the proffered position qualifies as a specialty occupation, or that the petitioner has complied with the terms and conditions of the LCA.
....
Unless theyUSCIS) make a rule like H1 can work for any employer we suffer a lot and feel like slaves which is bad.....
H-1B is not for any job. The job must meet requirements for H-1B. Read the pdf mentioned above.
I am sorry that you feel like sl***, but you do have option of changing the job if you don't like current job and you feel like s****.
Thanks for sharing your "sad" story!

Gurus,
July filer...
Here is my current situation
1. Entered US on H4. H4 is stamped on the passport until 2010.
2. Applied for EAD (July filer) and current using EAD for work
3. Will go to India this year end and planning to come back on the stamped H4.
Here are my questions
1. When I entered on H4, on the POE, the officer would have marked my status as H4. Now, I have used EAD...so currently I am on AOS pending status. How do they know this? Is this based on the I-9 that I have filled for the employer? But I9 form is retained by the employer unless requested by USCIS, so how does USCIS know that I am on EAD (AOS)?
2. When I go to India, I will surrender the I-94 that I received when I entered on H4. So when they tally their records, will they treat me like H4 leaving US or EAD (AOS) leaving US?
3. When I reenter US on H4, again my status will change to H4 right?
4. At this time I assume that the EAD card that I have is still valid (Not invalidated because I entered on H4 and not on EAD/AP. So, If I have to start working again, Do I need to fill the I9 form again for the same employer.
5. If I do not fill the I9 form, then how will USCIS know that I am working on EAD...which means that my status is AOS pending?
6. In my case, the primary applicant chooses to remain on H1. So if our I485 gets denied does this mean that I am out of status because I am using EAD or does it mean that I am fine because I entered on H4 and that is what they have in their record.
7. If I am out of status, can I file for a change of status to H4 or an extension to the previous H4 from US itself so that I continue to be in status�or do I have to leave and enter the country again?
Thanks in advance for your replies

I have been a long time supporter of IV and all the work that IV does, I have been on this forum for for a while now and have always believed in the cause of IV and though I am not active on the forum for some time now I have actively taken part in a lot of the efforts that IV has undertaken and have contributed monetarily as well .
Besides the fact that IV can try to help members in extreme situations like the one I am in, IV is really the only organization that watches out for our community, it is all we have. We need to be an active part of it and should make it stronger.

well said and I agree 100%. it is not as simple as saying that by buying now you are saving 12 months rent. (for one, you get a place to live which has flexibility..though smaller). if you need it now as said above it makes sense (and I would say if u need space because grown up kids need space or you have other family member staying (like parents etc) ..)
I agree Texas did not see the boom that was seen in other places and hence is relatively a better place to buy. that being said, I guess it depends on location too ..even in good places (all except the super bubble states of CA, FL etc) ...make sure that location looks good (good school, less crime) ..and at the same time ..easy commute (who knows ..gas maybe $6 and rising in future)...ino ther words even in TX, if the houses were built far away ..then they too will fall in prices
I think gas price is a non-issue. Gas in India is more expensive than in the US and considering the income there, the effective cost is even more higher. And yet, people continue to buy more and more without regard for increasing gas prices.
The same logic applies here. Back in 2001, once gas prices starting going up and in places where gas cost $1.30, it hit $1.50 which people found "shocking". And yet, there wasn't the slightest reduction in the number of cars bought. Even now, with all the dismay at soaring prices, nothing much has changed. Freeways are just as jammed as ever.
The fact is, the American is well equipped to deal with $6 prices. The reaction we see is is just due to the unpleasant thought of having to pay more. It is not a showstopper by any stretch of anyone's imagination. At the worst, it just means they will have to cut back on annual vacations which is not a big deal for us, but obviously a catastrophe to the average American.

Actual daily press and wire service photographers will undoubtly use 4mp. You may not be aware, but all the goreous 2 column color shots you see on USA Today etc. are printed from files that are usually 700k - 800k. There are heavily compressed for transmitting. All the wires do that. They don't get full files. The most attractive things to me are the high ISO performance, the ability to customize colorspace amd I'm anxious to test the new autofocus capabilities. The 8 mp is a plus for shooting for a mag or other output. Even at that, I've had 1D shots as a glossey mag color that looked great. One advantage higher megapixels give a sportshooter is for sports like football. Due to the size of the field, the ability to crop more gives you more field coverage. But then the question is will you have enough time to work with files that are twice the size. I'm sure that's why Canon listened and gave us 4 MP as an option.
I don't doubt what you say on iota and I've heard stories from the Day in the life of africa talking about the abilities of digital. But I also know the ability of this world to adapt and grow. Today people ay complain about file size but who knows tomorrow. And what about when thos same PJ's want that image for other form factors than may require greater resolution? It's an evolving world and its pretty short sided to believe that a certain file size is all that will be used.

I believe my situation is a lot similar to man-woman-and-gc except maybe that I am single. This is what I have achieved so far after sticking to Company A for 4.5 years (this one was pretty big in size; so didn't have to worry about any paperwork):
1) I-140 approved in August 2008 (total of 198 days till date i.e. March 5th 2009)
2) I-485 pending since July 2007 (USCIS receipt date of September 29 2007)
3) EAD valid till October 2010
4) H1-B valid till October 2010
5) PD: Feb 2007
However as a preemptive measure against any potential layoff from company A, I have started looking around. I am preparing a checklist of things that I have to inform the other companies (say company B) so that the transition is smooth. The 2 main things I can think of to talk about with any potential employer are:
1) I DEFINITELY want to maintain my H1-B; so they will have to transfer it. I will be pushing this to make sure I have the flexibility to get a dependent at any time
2) They will have to help me MAINTAIN my GC process. For example any minor changes in the position requirements to show that the job is similar or same. Thats one reason I am primarily looking at similar work profiles
I would GREATLY appreciate if someone from this thread can point me to any location or list out the things that I should be extremely careful about or notify to both my previous employer and the future employer to avoid any future pains in my GC process. A few things that I remember are as follows, but please provide more information that may be missed out here:
1) Do I have to ask Company B to apply for anything relating to my GC? I want to make sure that they know and agree to all costs associated with the paperwork? Dont want to end up paying from my pocket as I have heard in a few cases before
2) I believe since my I-140 is approved for more than 180 days or actually my I-485 being filed for more than 180 days, I am allowed to move, correct?
3) Since my I-140 is approved and I have an EAD, can USCIS/Company A cause it to be revoked? OR it doesn't apply to my case?
4) Do I need to ask Company A to maintain anything? Or just keeping good relations with them is enough :)
Thanks a lot to everyone in advance. Please let me know at your earliest convenience as you never know when opportunities come knocking at your door. Its better to be prepared ;)

OK here is the deal--this is a capitalistic economy and every action is ultimately based on demands. Requirements to grant GC to H1b worker is not a pressing issue to this economy at present, however, creating a temp worker program/Z visas is an urgent issue which catches more attention. The farm hands, construction workers, meat / fish industry workers are in equal or even more demand these days simply because of the fact that they work for far less money and more efficiently than an avg american counterpart. These industries are strugling to survive and depend on ilegals a lot. Reg legal immig--there is no economic boom to suddenly focus the atention on legal immig of high skilled people. The economy is in a very slow pace and most of the major industries (software/biotech/chemical etc) are not in a hiring spree to make them really cry out for H1b worker. Having said all this, the farmers / construction workers etc would have preffered a status quo on this issue because once the bill is enacted-- 1) the worker will have more right and will therefore demand more 2) The workers availability will be limited given that only 200K are allowed per year. 3) Ilegals will still be there, however, under new rules hiring them will be almost suicidal given the strict penalties. All these will add up to another economic tragedy.

Wait a minute…. You guys have a problem if someone else is getting GC even though you guys very well know how much difficult it is to wait for the long process to finish. I am completely stunned to read some of the posts on the forum as these posts are always looking for parity with this or that group. Some posts say “why undocumented are getting GC after paying 10K as we have been paying taxes for years”, some posts simple whine as to why L-1 get to file in EB-1 etc etc. Is there an end to this unnecessary complaining and this urge to always looking for parity, sometimes with the privileged and sometimes with the under privileged? Some posts are always looking for “fairness” whatever "fairness" means to the individual situation, and then, blame the rest of the world around for delay with their green card process. I think we ought to grow-up and stop complaining about someone else getting their green card. We ought to stop complaining about all the wrong things that may be going on our lives and we should get serious about making phone calls and meeting with the lawmakers. I do not intent to start a flame war and my intent is not to offend anybody either, just trying to point out that we could be happier and effective if we stop whining and complaining. It would also help to create a more positive and constructive environment on the forums.

You will get a letter in mail and then you should get all the documents listed there.............Also some of the items listed will make no sense to you as yours in Employment based GC and the letter is a standard letter which USCIS uses for family based gc also.....
It will also have one point that bring documents if you were arrested,convicted etc........dont get scared if you never got in trouble....
Prepare for the interview....read your job description which was used for LC and you should know if word by word as that was 1 question officer had asked me and I could answer it very well but was surprised that I was asked a question related to what technology I work and what are my job duties......
Good Luck. Everything will be fine and it will take 30-40 min max. :)
