I do not think one would not go to India just because he/she is scared to get a stamp in India. The loss of someone dear to you can overcome any such fears one might have (for me atleast thats applicable).
In any case, I did not know (neither did my collegaue) of the emergency quota. Thanks for sharing that with us and thanks to forums like these, every day is a learning experience.
Ragz4u, Well, I should not have typed the last sentence in my previous post, I take it back.. I agree with you the loss of someone dear to you can overcome any such fears one might have... But I do know my colleague did get his appointment through emergency quota and got his stamping and returned back, after attending his father-in-law's death/ funeral. He was not able to schedule the appointment through the online system, but he had to call the consulate directly to get his appointment. He got his appointment in the same week he had called them.

Please share more info on what steps you undertook to utilize your wife's PD. There are a few members of IV who have two streams (husband and wife) of approved 140s but one set of 485s applied. This info will be beneficial to the community if we can finally add it to the IV wiki.

guys,
you need to understand why we were in DC. you also need to think about what message we were sending. each person's philosophy about national anthems is not at issue here. this is a pointless discussion. frankly i am tired of people (i am one) that do not live in their countries but lose no opportunity to retreat in jingoistic nationalism. want want want...but no give?
if no one has serious objection, i will close this thread shortly. the above comments are not for any specific person/poster. just a general view.

Calculate the "real" mortgage interest rate you are paying after taking tax deduction into account. It will be slightly lower than your mortgage interest rate.
Then, see if you can get a better return by investing your money somewhere else. If you can't get a better return anywhere else then pay down your mortgage. Normally - you will find investments with a better rate of return than mortgage.

Andy,
Thanks for the pointer on the 539 processing.
Does the H4 approval need to be in hand if my wife were to change her status to H1? (or) Is there an option in I 129 where she can refer to the pending I 539.
She cannot change to H1 until Oct 1 which is when the new quota of H1's will be available unless she is going to work for an exempt organization/company. In the latter case then she can apply directly now for H1 as long as she is still maintaining H4 status.
This is what I get from the new memo:
Immigration Policy and Procedural Memoranda (http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/PeriodsofAdm120506.pdf)
I hope this will help you.

Hi everyone, I have been approved on 9/6/7.
only 92 days after AOS filing.
My sponsor, I did work with them from 2002-2007. They agree to file i-485 in the hopes economy would get better. However house builders are doing very bad now and they cannot take me back after approval.
The question is, does this spoiled my chances for citizenship?

did the io specifically say that? why do they care about other income? i would really like to know... if they are now saying that you cannot have any other income then all those who are trying to do a business on the side while on EAD could be in trouble! right?
Hello jsb,
Yes, I guess I went through that scrutiny when I submitted the employment letter and payslips and W-2 last month...the IO had told me that he had employment letter from 2007 so he would like a current one and he wanted my tax details compared to W-2 to see if there was any other income apart from my job income.
Time will tell... :)

I think my original question still remains unanswered.
1. I do not have my I-485 receipt notice(I do have the numbers though)
2. I do not have EAD/AP(Employer did not let us apply)
3. I'm already in my 7th year of H1. Current stamp expires in Sep'2008.
Can I invoke Ac21 somehow?
I would suggest that you apply for EAD/AP yourself without lawyer's help. I think you can just use receipt numbers.

Thank you for your advice. My last M.Sc. and Ph.D. is from the USA. My Ph.D. is about manufacturing of aircraft brakes with Honeywell.
EB1-B or EB-2 is more suitable for me?
what bothers me is that I am not cited in the literature yet and I do not have awards.
Thanks,
John
Your situation is slightly different than many I have come across. If your qualifications, research work, project etc have unique qualities, then you may still have a fighting chance. But you may have to do a lot of homework: find out NIW holders in your / related engg field, ask a few lawyers: do not believe right away if somebody promises they could, try to enroll in as many professional associations as possible, enlarge your skill portfolio etc.
BTW, is any degree of you from US?

I am an EB3 India applicant with a PD of August 2001. Cant file I 485 due to retro so cant get AP or EAD for spouse. I am currently in 7th yr of H1 and will soon be applying for 3 yr extension for 8,9,10 th yr based on approved I 140.
I am also a Canadian PR and one option is to move to Canada. However one option which I have been researching seriously lately is to live in Windsor, Ontario and work in Detroit , Michigan.
Windsor and Detroit are both Urban areas and twin cities on each side of the border connected by bridge and a tunnel. From Windsor most of Detroit metro is only 1 hrs drive. Downtown Detroit is only half hr drive.
Here are some advantages to this.
1) You keep your H1 B visa, and US Salary.
2) You earn time towards maintaining your Canadian residency and even Canadian Citizenship.
3) You have best of both worlds. (US Salaries opportunities, Canadian healthcare/social benefits).
4) Spouse can work in Canada and keep H4 also.
5) Can continue GC process without loss of security.
6) Visit other cities in US. ie even if spouse /fly is in other city you can easily commute once a month etc.
7) Once you get GC you can always move back to US.
Disadvantages
1) Crossing border each day (normally not an issue but border gets busy on some days).
2) Paying Canadian income tax.
3) Only possible if you get transfer to Detroit or new job there.
4) If you own home etc or your wife is studying etc you may have to live separately for some time.
Has anyone done this or knows anyone who has done this ? In theory and on paper its a good idea. Apparently thousand of ppl (even non immigrants) do this both ways.
Any insights anyone can share ? This may be good option in many cases.
Thanks

What will be my status after i file my I485?
My current I-94 will expire on 16th Sep 2007 (on the day my current visa stamp in my passport expires and my current H1 B is set to expire Mid April 2008).
I am planning to make a trip to Cannda or someplace to get a new I-94 as soon as i get my new passport (i had sent it for renewal on june 2nd). But i am a little worried about my status if i am unable to make the trip.
So my question is what will be my status after 16th sep 2007 (once i file for I485 (first week of July2007) and my I-94 expires on 16th Sep 2007)?
Appreciate any responses ...
After you file 485 you are in AOS so you can file for AP and use that to get back into US. Once in AOS it doesn't matter if your H1B expired or I94 is expired as you will be in status. However to work you will need EAD.
To enter reenter US you should have a H1B visa stamp which is valid or have an AP. If you use your AP you will have to use EAD to continue working. Another option is to get a new H1B stamp based on your current H1B petition which is valid till april 2008.

Hello guys,
My frustration is increasing and patience going down. I am strongly considering moving back to India. When planning the move, a few questions popped in my head the answer to which I am not able to find (yet); hence putting it out here.
1. How can I inform SSN department or credit bureau that I am not longer in USA..hence no one can use my SSN even if it gets stolen? Is there a way to "lock" things down?
2. What happens to 401K? Is there a IRS tax law that says because this guy was on H1-B and leaving..don't charge him the 40% penalty?
2.1 After 40% in penalty and 30% in taxes...with the market beaten down...not much remains...wonder if it's even worth touching it. So if I decide to leave the money here in my 401K account, what happens when I want to withdraw it? Rather what is the best way to withdraw it?
3. Any estimates on how much it costs to ship things back to India? I live in 2 bedroom apt..so have the usual stuff.....couch, bed, tv, clothes of many sizes, lots of kitchen utensils. Just an average...I understand things can vary a lot.
4. PIO card has the passport number of my son on it...the passport will expire when he is five year old. So do I get a new passport number? If so what happens to the PIO card? Do I need to get a new one?
Others, please feel free to add to the list of questions.
Thanks

Please help me. There is no LUD on my status online. I had my finger printing done on sept 19. CODE 3. For both my husband and me!! I don't see any updates on the status online. Can someone tell me what I should do? FBI says they sent the prints the same day!!!!
Am I stuck in Name check already?? How do you know this?????
I called customer care USCIS, they say they don't have information regarding finger prints and you don't see updates regarding fingerprinting online. Is this true?
PLEASE HELP. YOUR ADVICE WILL BE VALUABLE TO ME IMMENSELY
OK. If you read my posts I'm in the same boat, no LUD after FP. I called FBI finger print number and verified the results were sent to USCIS the same day. I didn't call USCIS. I was also worried like you about getting stuck in Name check. I joined the Yahoo Name check group and one kind individual answered my question (thanks John). See below.
FP and namecheck are independent.
a)FP checks
your fingerprints against FBI fingerprint
databases and the result comes back within couple
of days (or maybe even one day).
b)fbi namecheck
compares all combinations of your name
against FBI national namecheck program database
(86 million records).
This one comes back faster (they say less
than 6 months) if there are
no hits , but if there is some hit ....then
human person needs to clear all hits by requesting
copy of the paper documents from any /all
of the 250 FBI offices across USA . So this
is time consuming process and some of us have
been waiting for over one year , two years , three
years etc.
the LUD thing has no significance. you cannot
interpret much from lud and it causes
unnecessary anxiety . some people don't get any
luds from receipt date until approval.
try a service request first to find out if your
namecheck is pending .if you get a letter saying
"processing of your 485 is delayed because
investigation into your background remains open"
or something like that , then it means the namecheck
could be pending !
