Can we utilize the US Citizen children to campaign for our cause. We can highlight our cause better that way. We shall certainly get more attention. We also must make sure to highlight that we are LEGAL immigrants.
This reason is preposterous at best.

The name check takes 2 years anyway, making a mockery of fast processing times. Even VSC, which is the slowest, takes less than 2 yrs for 485.
Wait a minute; I thought the name check is part of the I485 approval (and for those who file I-140 and I-485 concurrently, part of the I-140 approval). It wouldn't make any sense if the I-485 is approved and they are still checking the identity.
Also, the thread has been quiet due to lack of hope regarding the speed of processing centers (Wata, I am with you on the Nebraska one) and the unreliability of promises for improvements.
No; the 485 approval and name check are two different things. Even after 485 is approved and your PD is current, you don't get the GC until the name check is cleared.

Hi Maverick,
I applied in EB1 a year ago which was denied and appeal pending since 10 months. I am loosing hopes as even appeal cases are not processed in time. Atleast in desh, you can get it done quicker through other means !!!!. What I meant is ...INDIA has also lot of immigrants coming from neighbouring coutries but they get most of the benefits in time rather like us in US.
Contributions : $500

Hi,
I just want to confirm that first shot of varicella will be enough, for the med report.
All the best !!
as long as you already got the first shot you will be okay. my husband and i just got our first hepatitis b shot and we need 2 more shots after that. our doctor said to just be ready for the proof when and if USCIS asks for it. it's good you were able to get an appointment. good luck!:D

Government dictates the rule for granting F1 non-immigrant visa and eligibility of a school or its programs to admit students under such provisions. When a student is at the school, the school/department has full control on what are the conditions for an international student to be on a valid visa. For example, some schools enforce 9 credit requirements per semester while other requires 12 (so yes school dictates these details) or some have no such requirements such as Kaplan/Language schools etc. There are other details too like duration of completion and criteria for expulsion. In violation of any of these conditions each school can cancel F1 status based on its own rules. Government doesn't dictate on what criteria can a school expel a student and thereby voiding his/her F1 visa status.
As for intent, merely showing an intent is different from actually changing visa status. F1 with a pending AOS is a gray area for precisely the same reason. The best thing an F1 student could do is to complete the course meeting the F1 criteria of possible and/or switch to EAD by formally taking up an employment and filing I-9 which will be same as changing status explicitly.
As for previous non-immigrant status it remains so until one uses EAD regardless of what that status was. There is no ambiguity in it, that's why people obtain EAD and never use it to maintain their previous non-immigrant status. If you maintain a valid F1 status and say your I-485 is denied you are still safe because your F1 status is still valid, it didn't go away just because you showed an intent to immigrate by filing I-485. That's what I was suggesting to original poster, if for some reason you prefer to maintain non-immigrant status you should keep either F1 or H4 whichever is convenient to you.
The school policies does not determine whether someone can be on F1 status or not. Government has laid down the rules for F1 status. School cant say that one has to take so many credit hrs for that person to be on F1. The rule is that to maintain F1 status, one has to be a full time student with minimum 3 courses , thats 9 credit hrs, but the exception is the final semester where that student can have less then 9 credit hrs.
Plus since the F1 is not a dual intent visa type , when someone applies for 485 , the F1 status is forfitted. what you are mentioning about the previous non-immigrant visa status continues even after obtaining EAD and remain so until EAD is used only applies to the non-immigrant status like H1 , H4 , L1 etc which are dual intent visa types. For F1 your statement does not apply.

There are 2 things that you need to do and take time..
1. Apply for FBI fingerprint clearance .. You can take fingerprints in your local sheriff's office on a standard FBI form and then send it to FBI.. takes about 2 months.
2. Apply and get IELTS english score.. I think this has become standard now..
I had attached all the literatures that had been published on Finance and technical journals. In addition, I had US education with Masters. Still, they asked me to appear for IELTS.
If you native language is not English, IELTS is must.

I have a similar case. Waiting on my PD to become current before I can interfile.
One question - You said you got your new 140 approved with the older PD? How did you do that? I thought you use the older PD when you file 485? My lawyer has not done that - does that mean i will not be able to use my older PD?

swede and wonderlust:
the goal is to end retrogression for all. if this happens incremental steps then the movement will continue until the whole goal is achieved.
That should be the only goal. I am hoping that IV does not need to exist in the future, that everyone legal is getting a fair treatment, but that looks far away right now. Until then people need to fight.
I can understand and accept that US wants to promote certain groups of people for their skills, such as doctors and nurses since there is a shortage of them right now. US educated, since they have helped the US economy and school system and so on. But the core goal should still be fair treatment for all. No retrogression for legal professionals.

I was wondering how L1 can be allowed instate tuition while H1-B's have to pay out of state according to the Arizona list. What exactly is the fundamental difference between the 2 which results in L1's fulfilling the requirements?
GCard Dream - You should ask the question - what part of the statute does L1 fulfil that H1B does not -
I'm sure you can give these guy's a run for their money. One thing - if you pursue it long and hard enough I think there is a chance that you can get instate tuition. The only area I was concerned about was the domicile part but if L1's can prove domicile so can H1-B's.
My son was able to get in-state tuition at Arizona State University after we filed an appeal. The new rule allows those who have filed I-485 to get in-state tuition.

If you missed last time In 2008 then dont bother. You can still claim with 2008 tax filing. (If you are eligible).
Dont do these mistakes
1. File Married Filing seperately and later amend the tax return. You will do a Big mistake and many times case is screwed and you will lot of problems. I personally handle some of the cases where client screwed the case and we correct the tax return. But for CPA also is a Big pain. and most of the time IRS people will confused and you will be keep getting demand letter and they will treat as a seperate tax return.
2. 2008 payment was just a estimated payment only. This will trueup with 2008 tax filing (in 2009).
Pl consult with CPA / Good tax preparer who has good knoweledge how to handle immigrant taxes.
