Seems like the Service Center employees are either laid off :D or on vacation...No movement for 485 processing dates compared to last months update.

Guys, I guess almost everybody is done with their finger printing by now. I am wondering what is the status of everybody's I-485 application on the case-status-online website after finger printing? Mine is showing some weird status, so I thought I better check with others.
USCIS will send an IO to your home within 48 hours. He will take pictures with your family, have lunch or dinner and issue the Green Card to every member of the family.

Hi,
My EB3 Priority date is Feb 2004. I have approved I-140 and have a copy of approval I-140
notice. I have not filed 485. This is my 10th year in H1b visa.
My H1B visa is ending in Nov 2010. Due to family situation, I am planning to go to
India for 1 year, My employer may or may not apply for my H1B renewal.
If my current employer cancels my approved I-140 & did not extend my H1b visa, Is it
possible for me to port that approved I-140 priority date (Feb 2004) when I am filing Green card through some other employer in the EB2 or EB1 category in
the future ?
Any one, Please kindly give your suggestions.
Thanks

gc_chahiye, if you want gc_chahiye then call and talk to your lawmaker. Last year only a handful of them knew about the problems related to skilled immigration. Today many more recognize our issues, but a lot more is needed.
We cannot assume that all the lawmakers know what 'EB' or 'Retrogression' means, if you want a GC then take the first step of empowering yourself by calling your lawmaker and educating them about this mess. Try it, you will thank yourself.
We all have powerful human interest stories, discussing them on forums will provide stress relief for a short time. Discussing it with people that matter will make a bigger difference.
can someone tell me (PM if you dont want it on a pubic board) what went wrong with SKIL Bill last year? Where did it fail (senate/house?) did it just get dropped, or went up for vote and did not make it?
Googling around, and am not able to find anything...

Probably USCIS figured they would run into a guy like you at some point and very clearly defined the law. You cannot start a company and do your own H-1 out of it. :D:D:D:D Sorry, better luck next time:D:D:D:D:D
I said so because as EAD you can do (ok, almost) whatever GC holder can do. Employer = EAD, employee = H1.. :) But yes, I am kidding, it is unlikely to be allowed

Get a labor attorney, send a letter of claim to the employer, and request action within 30 days. If no response and amount is under $5000 then go to small claims court, otherwise file a grievance with your state's labor department.
Thanks for the response.
The amount is approx $7000 and after deductions it will be just under $5000...can anybody suggest some good lawyer and what will be the charges...anybody else faced same issue in past....

My thoughts:
My RIR labor was filed under EB-3 in Aug 02 tho' I originally gave all the papers in Jan 02 to the attorney and pleaded that my case be filed under EB-2. He refused to do so saying that I did not meet the prevailing wage for EB-3 (I was about 20% below it according to him). I knew my friends who graduated along with me from a local Univ. in '98 had all filed for EB-2 and couldn't have been making a whole lot more $ than I was. Anyways my labor took about 13 months thru Chicago and was approved. Was it a good decision to go with EB-3 instead of EB2 and avoid the risk of labor denial? Maybe/maybe not. I ended up being stuck in 485 processing for 4 years because of this Eb-3 decision. Out of desperation we were about to refile for EB2 Perm labor after going through the ads when things became current for me in May. EB-2 I would have gotten the approval 3 years ago.
You most likely will meet the prevailing wage by the time the G.C comes thru and the GC is after all for a future offer. Is there any way you can refile under Perm labor? I've heard Perm takes 2 months with an efficient lawyer and a supportive employer. Perhaps you can somehow use the same PD and refile under Perm? With AC21 you can change jobs and will surely meet the prevailing wage.

Sunil,
I suggest you use the most recent A# on your I-485, and relax.
The USCIS adjudicator has access to all the information s/he needs. They can use your Name/DOB/Citizenship etc. to find out all the A#s that have ever been assigned to you. In case there is a need to change or assign a new A#, they will figure it out.
Good luck!

Anil:
While you can apply for an H-1B, the petition will not be approved for a change of status. Rather you will have to go back to your home country at the end of your L-1 status and apply for the H-1B visa in your home country, based upon the approved H-1B petition.
This is because your status will expire with the expiration of your I-94. So there will be a gap of about a month or so between your I-94 expiring in August and the H-1B petition start date of October 1st.
Your wife's status is tied to your status, so she will have to leave with you and come back on H-4 or get her own H-1B. She will not be able to work on H-4.
Whether or not you can apply for a green card now depends on what category you are eligible to apply in. The answer is probably no. Your L-1 was probably denied because you could not show that you had developed your company enough in the past year to warrant an extension of the L. That same issue is going to be a problem with you being able to file for an EB-1 multinational manager or executive. Any other category you are probably eligible for is going to require you to go through the PERM process.

I have a question, I am working with my GC sponsoring employer, filed I485 during July '07. My I-140 approved during 2007. My company has applied for H1B extension (for 3 years based on approved I140) recently. Please note that this 3 year extension will stretch beyond my 6 year (H1B) period.
After the approval for 3 years, can I transfer the H1B to another employer? Since this extension is based on approved I140, is it legal to transfer that H1B to a different employer? (I have used the terms ‘extension’ and ‘transfer’ just for understanding purpose. I am aware that I will be getting new H1B (non-cap) every time).
I have EAD and AP but wondering why I can not transfer H1B?
I am getting different opinion for the above scenario; can somebody shed some light? Those who said it is not possible pointed that this 3 year extension is employer specific since it is based on approved 1140. Somebody else said I can transfer until my 6 year period but not beyond to that? Others said no matter what I can transfer my H1b to any employer. I am confused, please help.
yes you can. Since your PD is >365 days old. It does not matter that the I-140 was from a different employer, its important that its not been revoked until now. You dont need any active support from that employer (no verification letter etc). Just some proof of your PD being >365 days old, and an I-140 approved for that labor. (copy of I-140 approval notice perhaps)

Dude,
I think one of the reasons why you got and RFE is because u filed for a transfer without sufficient paystubs. You need atleast 3-4 (bi weekly) paystubs to not raise any eyebrows.
So basically the IO officer was doing his thing and requesting all the basic documentation.
best scenarios would have been : If you had gone back to company A after a gap of few months, and filed for an extension and then transferred to Company B, this RFE would not have risen at all ...as you would have have continuous employment and pay stubs to show.
In this economy everyone has got hit pretty hard..so just hope for the best.
Thanks a lot for your comments. They are really helpful.
In case I do what you mention, what normally comes with a rejection? would the USCIS go further (beyond the simple denial), and rule that I was out status penalizing/prohibiting me to enter the country?
Should it be better if I just leave the country and wait for the approval outside the US? I guess Im prepared for a denial, what concerns me the most is jeopardizing B1-B2 Visa or as you said to be prohibited to enter the country.
Do you know the "standard" wording for USCIS decision in cases like mine?
Thanks a lot again, I really appreciate your comments.

There is a sudden change of plan. My company wants me in US for two months - March 15 - May 15. Then i have to go back to India till Dec 09 and come back to join work from Jan 2010. My questions -
1. Will i be facing any questions at the immigration (point of entry) when i come back on Jan 2010?
2. Any other situation or scenario that i should be aware of?
3. If i receive pay check for just two months in 09, will there be a problem when i file taxes for 2009?
4. How long can i stay outside US on a H1b visa?
Thanks a lot.
The key question is - what you will be doing in India during the period you are out of US? Will you be working in Indian subsidiary of your employer?

Got some info from I M M I H E L P dot com. Hope it's helpful to everybody
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is possible to register the birth later than one year after the actual date of birth.?
First, We to get a Non-Availability of Birth Certificate (NABC) from the concerned office.
After that, get an affidavit from parent or a close relative stating the birth took place at home/ hospital etc and get it notarized. Then a "vakalatnama" has to be filed by the Parents/close relatives through an attorney and submitted to the Municipality court of that jurisdiction along with the Non-Availability of Birth Certificate.
"A Class" magistrate will then review the case and issue a standing order to the Municipal office to make a fresh entry and then issue a new birth certificate.
You should carry school leaving certificate, tenth or twelfth class certificate, applicant's passport, address proof of parents etc. to them to register your birth. If available, please take the address proof that indicates that your parents lived in that area at the time of your birth. Delayed birth certificates are not considered as conclusive evidence of birth.
If your birth was registered more than 1 after your were born, you must submit the secondary evidence should be submitted along with the certificate.

Some reactions:
On the rainbow shot, I would clone or crop out the dead twig on the right. Cropping is probably the better option because it will call more attention to the rainbow. I tried to process the image to bring the rainbow out more, but didn't have much success. Maybe someone else can help or maybe it can't be done.
I recropped the flower image and did a little minor processing to bring out more of the detail, particularly in the highlights.
Hope you don't mind me adjusting and reposting your images.
