Hi
yes, thats what my lawyer says as well ... under section 245 k which applies to employment based GC applications, we can file follow-to-join within 180 days. In the mean time h4 status gets nulled and we should not travel out of the country.
I think you can still file the follow-to-join application after you get your greencard. You can do it only in the first 180 days after the approval.

Hello, Thanks for the help. Here is my list.
1. As CIS told Congress in a hearing last year, They indeed wasted visas due to administrative delays. Clearing such a backlog would make all EB current. - Best case scenario
2. Allowing people to file Adjustment of Status (AOS) after their immigration petition (I140) is approved but were unable due to their country cap. Relax/clarify the AC-21 rule for Same or Similar occupation. How much long wait is considered long enough to move-on? (in general terms) - Average Scenario
3. Let CIS publish the real backlog of the EB AOS applications (Backlog defined by common sense - should include all the EB AOS cases and not just what they think not backedup due to Visa availability) pending by country, and PD in 2-3 months. - Worst case Scenario. Atleast helps us plan our future by deciding to continue the wait or get back home.
4. Starting the Citizenship clock after I140 approved.
Thanks again for your help..

Susie, I can say quite strongly that IV's agenda is quite officially
"H1B quota is not an issue that we wish to take any sides on".
We are trying to reduce the backlogs as a primary goal.
The main aim is to reduce the backlogs which will also reduce the age out problem, but not fix for those already aged out. Believe me, even if this was the only issue on the agenda, it is hard enough to get this done.
If we don't fix the backlogs then age out will be irrelevant. Let's imagine that H1B quota is increased, and EB3 ROW never becomes current because of more H1B ROW newbies. Then EB3 India will never get any spill over. In this case new India EB3 applications could easily have a 25 year wait, by which time the primary petitioner will have retired invalidating the whole application. Thus you can see that increasing H1B quota works against us (although the official position is no position).
I am considering computer modeling this, because I think that the a 25 year wait is very possible with the current scheme (making age out easier to push maybe).
If there is an opportunity to provide ago out protection without risking the main aim then I think that it will be taken. First we need a seat at the negotiating table.
Until we get a seat at the table we have the trade off between raising age out complicates things, and raising age out keeps it personal. There has been some debate over the, I think that the professionals recommend "keep it simple".
My position on this is to raise the age out and other family issues like US citizen children being forced to leave because their parents are. But only raise it with those law makers it will clearly be received well with, and not be a distraction.
There are other issues worthy of targeting, but they too complicate things, and risk us not getting a seat at the table. For example banning consulting. This could force many to leave, including their children, through not fault of their own. I think that consulting should at very least be grandfathered, and have some other exceptions. But again pushing that would be a distraction.
As I said, if we get a seat at the table, this issue has a chance.
We are currently working on getting that seat.

Guys,
Can someone please let me know whether it is possible / advisable to travel while H1 approval is pending?
She is currently in H4 with a valid stamp in her passport. She filed for her H1 and was selected in lottery. She has a receipt but her approval is pending.
We were interested in making a short trip to India before Oct 1. But the consulting firm advised against it as according to them if she re-enters in H4 (even before Oct 1) while her H1 approval is pending, her H1 application will be cancelled and she has to restart the process all over again. Something to do with the last status on re-entry.
My thoughts are: The change of status will be effective Oct 1, 2008, why would it matter if I travel prior to that date?
A lot of you may have experienced the same dilemma, so please let me know...
thanks.

An attorney I know told me today that:
(1) they believe EB2/3 mid-month retrogression is unlikely in July based on coversations with relevant folks in govt.
(2) USCIS is unlikely to want a spirited fight from AILA by retrogressing mid month, especially given the fight that's already on about June EB-3 unskilled
(3) The June EB-3 unskilled mid-month should be viewed in the context of the just 5000 visas that were left.
.
Good points

I think the current state of disagreement is good because at least everything is out in the open and up for fighting. If this bill had to be scuttled it could have been done very quietly. But there are enough people out there who will make sure that there is no easy death for this bill. It is a fight and a lot of egos will need to appeased in the process.
How much will we gain out of it in the end as skilled legal immigrants may not be necessarily in our control during this whole process as illegal voices are more stronger and we are really considered compromisable. It will be up to our well wisher politicians and vested business interests to push something in our favor.

you can also set auto-payment from your bank account/ credit union account. I did that through Digital Federal Credit Union.
when i tried to setup a recurring payment I got the following message.
Accounts with limited access may not send money !
I've used my paypal account to make one time payment to IV before but never had any issue. Is this a paypal error/issue?..could i be doing something wrong ? is there any other way to make a payment ?

Hi All,
After a long wait i have my priority date became current. But my employer is saying to wait for some more time before he can file for I485.What can i do in this scenario? He is saying the dates are going to remian the same for next couple of months.Please suggest.
Thanks!
Please post the name of your company. I would request IV to setup a webfax so that all of us can send webfaxes to such employers to stop this exploitation. The copy of the webfax should also be sent to DOL and USCIS (with the name of such companies) each time it is sent to the company. We should jam the fax machine of DOL, USCIS and such companies. If we do this to 5-10 employers, all others will behave.

Dear friend akred,
One question for you my friend, ask your consience.
your advice to BEG, Borrow, STEAL or KILL, is this how we should conduct ourself in the society. Do you want such kind of society. Is it good to profess anger, decit and violence in society. (think what our kids will face when they grow up.) ?
As a devote Hindu, I live by Hindu way of life, and I Hope you do too, I PRAY to you, can you PLEASE implement this way of life in your normal daily life, you will see the difference yourself.
Not meaning to anger you, Sorry in advance if I have hurt you. I pray you will change.
OM !!!!;)
On a philosophical note, you have to do what you must. Everything has its time and place - anger and violence are valuable tools and sometimes violence is noble when you are confronted by evil - perhaps the only thing out of place is "steal".
Anyway, companies have pre-approved labors that are expiring in a month. The dramatic language was to convey the message that this is the time for action.

> On the same note guys..Nothing changes after GC.
Actually, it does. If you get a GC, you have the option to get citizenship in 5 yrs. If
you get citizenship, you can get Social security.....irrespective of whether you live in
US or in Timbaktu. So IMO, the biggest advantage of GC is getting back the money
you've been paying as part of Social security taxes.
And for those of you who think Social Security will run bankrupt....that will never happen,
or the US president will lose his job. The Govt will always fund SS even if it means
increasing a ballooning deficit.
