TEXT OF SEN. COLEMAN'S RNPA
Sen. Coleman has formally introduced the Rural Nursing Promotion Act. The text of the bill now has been published on THOMAS, and be found by searching for Bill Number S. 646. As expected the bill includes a provision to make Schedule A occupations exempt from the general Employment Based visa quota.

SO if USCIS wants to make a new rule of filing I485 for the one whose I 140 is cleared and priority date is not current, It CAN DO That RULE Right?
We do not need any Congress approval for that Right?
If so can we explore this option??
Yes, I was wondering the same thing.
The only plausible explanation for requiring congress' approval, that I am able to come up with, is that we bundled many requests along with the request for concurrent processing of 140/485, like additional visa numbers etc., which I think are not in the hands of USCIS.
We would need congress approval to increase visa numbers, etc. But for changing the rule to allow concurrent 140/485 processing is probably within the jurisdiction of the USCIS.

Not sure if anyone experienced this, but on 2 computers this site, antivirus software detected a virus & my work PC (protected with McAfee) is not booting up, IT said my hard drive has been corrupted. My laptop survived with a freeware anti virus. Please don't give me any reds, this is what happened to me, I just wanted to warn any unprotected members of IV.

Can you change job after you get 3 year extension (based on approved 140)?
It is kind of dicey...If you are quick enough you can pull it off...
You can refer to some posts up above that some people have actually done it..
Especially if you are laid off you have not much to lose and try something ...
USCIS has traditionally not taken a hard line against H1B as far as I know...

From your post it looks like you have recently appiled for renewal of EAD.
Do you know what should we write (for #15 Immigration status ) if the spouse has used EAD??
Thanks.
I applied myself - so why do I need a G-28 from my lawyer?

Mine took 8 days after the online status changed to approved-so don't worry. It's funny, on their website, they said documents mailed on sept 10, but i rcvd them on sept 17th. When i rcvd the AP, i realized the documents were mailed on sept 13-sept -- so don't blindly trust what is online.
There was a black line---uscis printer completely screwed up-and the first line of the address on mailing envelope and the address was completely un-readable. I am not sure how we even got it in mail.
I second to CC123. I had G-28 on everything. I got the EAD and AP directly. However, I did not get any original receipt notices from USCIS. My lawyer got the all original receipt notices.

I am switching job using my EAD and my 485 was filed 2 years ago (EB2 Sept 2006 priority date). I-140 is also approved. My new employer will not sponsor for green card or H1 but the job is similar, actually it is exactly the same as I am merely taking a full time position in my client's company. My old employer is OK with the move and have even offered me to be on their payroll until i get my GC. Can I have two employers?

Thanks Rajesh.
I was trying to find out if there are any other options to record my departure date and returning I-94 when I leave US by LAND.
Looks like the only option for people leaving by Land is to send the I-94 to "ACS - CBP SBU". In my case, I will have to send this along with details proving my stay in Canada after leaving US.

Why should a drivers license be used as an ID ?
Even if it is an ID, it should NOT be linked to immigration status.
An ID says this photo and details are of the person holding the ID. It is meant to "identify" a person NOT for checking the immigration status.
If someone needs to check the immigration status, they should ask for immigration documents rather than a general purpose id.
Summary:
All american nonsense ! :rolleyes:

I have RN from vermont for H1b extension 1/14/2008 - still pending.
Not that it is really part of the issue here, but Vermont is also processing my I485 - how is it they are almost 1 YEAR behind TX and NE processing times? Will this be resolved by load balancing at some point, or is this random?

Got a BIG RFE for 7th yr extension from CSC PP.
I have applied for 485 (I140 approved), and have EAD/AP from same employer last yr.
I got this RFE and employer may not have/provide all the documents,
My question is can we withdraw H1 and then work on EAD?
Will that adversely affect my case for AOS?
Main list of items required from me,
Last 3 yrs W2, last 3 yr taxes, all i-94 etc. -- No biggie since I have always been working for big company for past 10 yrs. till In switched to this smaller firm last yr.
Main list of docs required from company
1. Offer letter to me.
2. Client letters
3. Last 3 yrs quarterly wage reports with ALL employees SSNs, pays etc.!
4. Last 3 yrs Tax returns
5. Last 3 yrs W2s and W3s for ALL employees
How in the world is one supposed to provide all those ??!! I spoke to the employer, he's very busy (not desi but still a small firm with 1-2 million turnover and maybe 4-500,000 income..)
I can even change employer if needed, but I need to know if it's okay to cancel or withdraw this application of H1B and if that will cause USCIS to reopen my approved I140 or issue RFE for same list of docs at the time I file AC21.
What should I do if employer doesn't comply and just strings me along?
My H1B ends in April first week and Wife's H4 is long expired, We were planning only to keep my h1b as safty..

It could take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. For me - it was around 2.5 weeks from the time the status changed to "we received your response....". Plus with the Thanksgiving break - it might take a bit longer. The best thing to do here is just not to worry about it and just wait...since its no longer in your hands.
Good luck...

I got this RFE more than an year back. The birth certificate that I had provided did not have my name and just said "male child". So I had to provide the following secondary information-
1) An affidavit from my grand parents. Two different ones saying that they were present at the time of my birth.
2) Affidavit from the Doctor that he was the person who performed the operation.
3) Government issued Ids like driving license showing complete name with a picture.
Hope this information helps.

3/ How likely is it that PACE will become law?
Extremely likely. It is a bill with bipartisan support (almost equal number of Republican and Democrat co-sponsors). Plus, there is tremendous political will in Washington DC right now, cutting across party lines, to enact a legislation that will maintain America�s competitiveness in science and technology. The traditional anti-immigrant lobby that usually shoots down such legislation is also not too bothered by the automatic adjustment of status (AOS) privileges (i.e. a GC) being provided to PhDs, as the total number of PhDs is too miniscule a number, and seen to add tremendous value to the system for even them and their prejudices to oppose it. The total number that will be given these benefits under PACE will be a few hundreds, and this at a time when there are bills in senate and congress to legalize the 11 million (i.e. 11,000, 000) illegal workers living presently within US borders. Please know that the PACE bill is inspired by the highly regarded National Academies report that came out in the latter half of last year, and therefore has very strong credentials backing it. The only thing we have to do is to get these minor amendments incorporated into PACE; otherwise the bill will be passed and we will be left high and dry, and there won�t be as good a chance for us in the near future to get that elusive green card.

So for PD used to retrogress, after going though document other things also have retrogressed, e.g.:
-- Name check
-- Multi year EAD
Thanks HV000. It gave realistic status.
