Receipting update is just a reference.
My applications reached NSC 6 months ago on July 9th.
I have no receipts and checks were not cashed.
As per IO's my name is not in the system.
Check this thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=14402).
Good luck!

Hi,
Anyone knows about filing for PERM on the 6th year of H1B? Will it still eligible for H1B extension?

I am also in a similar situation. My dad's brother filed for my dad in 1983. However my dad did not go for his visa interview as he was no longer interested in moving to US and due to him I am stuck reading immigrationvoice.org forums everyday.
Since your application is filed before 1998 you are eligible for 245(i) as a grandfathered alien . Suppose you fall out of status for any amount of time during your h1 period you can use 245(i) , pay 1000$ and still file for i-485 .
245(k) which is available for everybody and protects an out of status person for 180 days while 245(i) is available for persons only who were a beneficiary or a derivative beneficiary of a i-130 application or i-140 application before 1998.
I did extensive research on porting of priority dates. Priority dates can be ported in the following situations
a) Family petition when a son/daughter turns 21.
b) Employment based petition when an i-140 is approved and will not be revoked by the previous employer before this i-140 priority date is transferred to another i-140 petition.
c) Employment based petition when 180 days have passed since i-485 is filed and i-140 is approvable due to AC 21 regulations (note the word approvable)
d) Priority dates before 1977.
However I do know of any recapture mechanism for priority dates from family based petitions to employment based petitions. However if you do find any interesting information about porting dates from family based application to employment based information pls do post it.

Hi Guys
I am about to file the 485/EAD/AP based on EB2 PD May 2003.
My lawyer says that after July 30th 2007, if we are filing EAD & AP along with 485, then we do NOT need to include the fees of EAD and AP. The total fee in such a case is 1010$.(485 + Biometric = 930+80 = 1010$)
Is this correct that if EAD/AP are applied with 485 after July 30th 2007, then there is no special fee for EAD/AP
Thanks

Nobody can file I-485 before their PD is current.
You need to wait 4+7 years to file I-485.
Till that point, you need to maintain a legal status here.

with experience you gain not only technical skills required to do your job, but also you gain project management experience. To be successfull in consulting world, you need to have strong project management skills and people management skills that come with experience... At least that's what I see in my company - one of the "big- four" firms (accounting, assurance and advisory services). Hope that helps

How about working on an EAD in a part-time job while working full-time on your h1 sponsored job? I assume the h1 will not become invalid in this case because EAD is being used for the part time job.
Once you use your EAD , it mean you are forefitting your H1 , H1 is a status , u cant be in 2 status at the same time. Once the part time employer uses your EAD card to give you a job basically he has to submit that info to the INS and that will automatically invalidate your H1 status. This EAD which u received is for allowing you to work which the change of status from H1 to green card is taking place.

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 think these bills are too complicated and have possibilities of failing on the house floor, even if they pass through the senate..
My question to the group is: Does it make sense for us to lobby for changes to existing laws as 'amendments/enhancements' (do not know the exact term), which need not go through this full-blown congressional approval process.. Another issue that we are facing with the bills such as immig. comprehensive bill is that we get tagged together with illegal immig., so it becomes all the more probable to get rejected. I am just being realistic and urging the IV team to add one more action item to the agenda and see if we can put some efforts towards this additional agenda.
I think, in addition to supporting the bills, we should look at this additional possibility. Something like allowing I-485 even though the number is not available, just requires an amendment to the existing law. It does not require additional quota, so there is no major impact to immigration law as a whole. So, we may not need to wait for a bill to clear, in order for such reliefs to be approved.
My take is: we should strive for 3-pronged approach - 1) near short term approach is to ask for immediate relief such as I-485 filing without the visa number availability; there may be other such reliefs possible - 2) short term approach is to support the current bills being considerd, as we are doing already - 3) long term approach is to think of what is the backup plan in case 1 and 2 fails
Just thinking out loud here.

If you travel abroad when the change is status is pending, the change of status is deemed withdrawn. Pls contact your immigration lawyer, so that he can work with USCIC to get the new I-94 details on the petition.
If the petition was approved before the travel happened, then all that you need to do is to start working and get a visa stamp of H1 when you go out of the country.

Hello All,
When I was doing my education (MS) my credit dropped drastically and recently like 2 years back it went for collections too. However I cleared all my credit card debts but it still shows on the credit report that as severe deliquencies and number of open accounts.
Next month I'm applying for AOS - I want to know whether bad credit will have any affect of the approval or denial of the application? :mad:
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks
Unless you dont have credit($$$$) to pay your lawyer then it will impact AOS.
LOL
It has no impact.
