Same thing with me. My priority date May 3rd, 2006. I got EAD renewal email today.
Hello Folks,
I'm Aug-2005 EB2-I.
Haven't received my GC yet.
I think, based on various experiences mentioned here, opening a SR, taking local immigration office appointments, etc is a way to get USCIS to look at your file.
I also read, if there was a pending EAD renewal, your case might get looked at and instead of renewing your EAD, USCIS will rather give you GC - provided PD is current and there are no other issues.
I know none of these 2 things have a documented backing...apart from people's experiences (which, I value a lot - don't get me wrong there).
My EAD was also up for renewal - filed in June. Got the "card production ordered" e-mail @ that yesterday. And, no change on the AOS case.
So, should I take other steps @ my AOS case - like, opening a SR, taking IO appointment, etc ?
Thanks

Works just fine for me
I'm on a Mac, perhaps that's why I can't see it. It's very strange though. I used to be able to load the DOS site without any problem.

Ok, this is a tough'ie.
You might be ok, but let me explain. There 2 rules that play-in in this scenario. One is " last action ", the other is " effectve date of your new I-797 ". If the start/effective date of your new I-797 is later than your last action i.e your entry in the USA, then technically your new I-94 which you got from your new I-797 will kick-in from its effective date making your stay in USA legal till its end. Now, if the start/effective date of your new I-797 started before you entered USA using your OLD I-797 (concequently got short I-94 validity) that will control your legal stay period ( as per last action rule ).
That being said, this is very tricky situation, though arguably valid as per different memo's of USCIS. So it is in your best interest, either to go with this interpretation and do nothing if the first case that i explained above is true or play safe and go out of country and enter back US using your new I-797.
Consult a lawyer before you take any step.
Thanks.

My PD is Feb 2002, EB2 and 485 ND: 06/15/2007
I renewed my EAD last month believing that it may trigger GC approval.
Today i received my EAD renewal for 2 years. Expiry date is July 25, 2010
Having oldest PD and receiving 2 yrs EAD, is it a good sign or bad? Please let me know.
Thanks

All,
Please CONGRATULATE to the new President on Tuesday by all channels and DEFINITELY ASK the question " Now that you are the president, do you want to further punish us for being legal and sticking to the rules and hence make us wait forever in these long painful EB2/EB3-I long queues, . Mention about 5882, small admin fix.
or
does he want to give us some immediate relief. Dont forget to mention we can buy houses, not new job applicants, legal etc and HIgh-skilled.
Thanks,
Definitely congratulations would be in order.
But I hope they do not get questions whose answer can be a simple Yes/No. Rather they ought to be for which he would give some detailed actions: What are you going to do to turn around this economy?
What are you going to do to reduce the wait time for highly skilled immigrants waiting for GC?

i have a friend from mexico that got here cause she married a us citizen, well long story short her green card expires on the 21st of august she has an appointment on that day for what i think is to get her permanent residency. well her problem is that she just caught her husband cheating on her and doesnt want to be with him anymore. but she thinks if she leaves him , she will destroy her chances of getting her permanent residency. how does that work? is she forced to stay with him even though he mistreats her and cheats on her to be able to get her residency? any responses would be appreciated . thanks in advance.
Your question is not clear. "her green card expires on the 21st of august"
- She already got GC ? and expiring after five or 10 years? If so, the divorce will not impact the GC process.
"she has an appointment on that day for what i think is to get her permanent residency"
- If she is not yet getting her GC, then it will impact the GC. Either she has to be patient or lose it. Even after getting GC, if she goes for divorce immediately it will trigger investigation as if your friend married US citizen just to get the GC.
This process is complicated and I dont think you can get the right answer in this forum. Better check with attoney.

I successfully ported from EB3 to EB2 in the same company while on EAD
Now i am working on the new Eb2 position using the EAD obtained from the EB3 position. I have still not filed my Eb2 485 since dates are not current (priority date jan 2007)
The new Eb2 job description was similiar to Eb3 but the difference was that now it required masters degree and 1 year experience. This is becasue of more resposnitlity and supervisory role in the eb2 position. Also natural progression...
I qualified for the Eb2 position without using the Experience gained in the existing company. I had masters and previous experience which was used for qualification....
Also the older Eb3 position does not exist as it was modified to the new Eb2 position as the role now required more complexity...
Sharing my experience and wondering if everything is ok with my current situation? I do not have a h1b. I still work on EAd obtained from the Eb3 app and travel on AP and have not had any issues yet....
Hopefully you'll get green card in July.
Porting is not that big of an issue as it may seem, its just matter of employer being willing to cooperate with applicants, rest of things falls into place itself.

My luck is just not good w.r.t GC. Afte long wait my spouse finally had received her FP notice and is scheduled for her FP in couple of days. But today she accidently burnt her finger and that too right at the spot where we give the FP.
Guys , any suggestion as to what needs to be done. Should she still try to give the FP and see if it works. She has a big blister on her finger.
Any similar experiences , please post.

If you are in consulting and traveling to a client site 50 or more miles away from your residence frequently (e.g., in your friend's case at IBM, it might be every week from Mon to Thurs), it is quite an old practice to disclose the site location, publish a notice at the client site (that you are on h-1b), file for an amendment etc. - nothing new here.
GG_007
Donot be suprised to expect more, one of my friends at IBM got letter (from IBM attorney) asking to state client location etc..I think it could be based on any new USCIS H1B rules or verification ??

Hi All,
Please clarify my doubts if you can.
The G-325A form is asking for dates of previous employment. I have an issue here.....
I did an L1 to H1 transfer in 2005. My L1 was valid till APRIL 2006. So my intention was to work with L1 employer till April 2006 and then switch to H1 employer.
H1 employer also applied for a change of status, I was not aware of the whole status issue that time. I asked the H1 company's lawyer whether I could continue with my L1 employer after getting the H1 and she said it's fine.
So I got the H1B approval in Oct 2005, but still continued with L1 employer till APRIL 2006, then switched to H1.
Recently I came to know that this could be an issue. When I was filling the G-325A form, I wondered if I specify that I worked with the L1 employer till APRIL 2006, would they catch this?? Even if they catch , how big an issue would this be??
If I put the dates to reflect the dates to show that I quit my L1 employer in Oct 2005 itself, would this be an issue?? I guess in this case, if by any chance they ask for any further evidence like pay stubs or W2 in that period of time, I would be in trouble.
Any advice is appreciated. I'm afraid to talk about this to my current company attorney....
Thanks.

How will judge determine that we actually received the post.It can be lost on the way or something else can happen.Or do we have to sign the notice when the postman gets it.
Kinda imperfect science...
Depends on the judge's mood..how charitable the judge is feeling that day..Did he/she got laid the day before and so on....

With all this amendments going on with the Immigration bill and election round the corner I wish the immigration bill does not pass through since I don't wanna see a compromise kinda of bill, which may or may not screw us.
I don't see anything wrong with the current immigration scenario except delay, if you wanna immigrate then be patience else go back from where we came from, India is not bad.
Just to remind you all who read this message I am pro immigration but will not deal with a compromised bill..................... and I am with my I140 stage.

I agree with the monetary clout aspect of the argument and would participate in such an effort. I also feel we have to initiate high visibility events on the lines of the DC event. Two suggestions I would like to float,
(1) Can state chapter memberships be made paid for with annual memberships. There are efforts to channelize information through the state chapters (and rightly so) - there could be others such benefits that can be made available in due course.
(2) Can we extend/magnify the entrepreneural theme of IV (beyond a discussion thread) by having a substantial program dedicated to the entrepreneurship aspirations of a good number of IV members - have a business plan competition amongst members, garner support of successful immigrant entrepreneurs as part of the program, have webinars to educate legal aspects and barriers faced (due to our limbo). In essence, make visible the entrepreneural potential locked. Also, it might help transform our image from job takers to job creators. We can partner with other entrepreneural support organizations to fund the program. If we can execute a truly great Business Plan competition and attract venture capital funds we can have certain percentage of venture funding go to IV. If IV members and core think that this suggestion has some merit, I can help evaluate/extend/shape the idea with other like minded individuals.
