i assume you're using cross-chargeability of your husband's country of birth.
if that is the case, swiss eb2 had current pd, so you should get your gc in 6-9months.EB-2, 485 and 140 submitted in June 2007 concurrently, RD and PD both are June 2007. I borrowed my husband's Swiss nationality. Now 140 approved, AP and EAD got, but NC is still pending.
Just curious: When will USCIS process my 485? According to my nationality or my husband's? If it's mine, god, I may have to wait for 4, 5 years because of the terrible VB backlog! Is it after 485, everyone no matter which nationality, the processing time should be the same. All the world line up together. Please correct me if I am wrong.

PERM started last year.. there are people who applied labour before that and still waiting.. i personally know two of my friends who applied for labour in april 2001 and still waiting for approval.
But once they get their labor approved, they will get their I-140, via premium processing, in a day or two and their PDs will surely be current. So they will immediately be able to file for I-485, and in fact it is unlikely that the dates will retrogress behind 2001.
BUt thanks for your clarification. I used to think PERM has solved problems for all.

Pappu - thanks for the quick reply.
The reason I asked - I got the impression that IV is for the "highly qualified" people. I know "highly qualified" is a subjective term. I did 3 yrs bachelors in commerce from India. I was not sure if I am "highly qualified" or not. Reading through a forum I came to know about the SKIL bill - which I don't think is for guys with my qualification.
Is IV only pursuing SKIL bill or are there any other bills that would benefits people like me? If there are, then where can I read about those provisions? I want to browse though them and want to see if it would help my case.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi guys,
How to determine to which service center we need to send our application packet? Is it based on the future job location described in the labor certificate or the present physical location of the applicant?
Applying concurrent: 140/485
present physical location(my present address) state comes under : TSC
Future job location state comes under : NSC
Confused...
Thanks in advance

What if the I 94 is expired and an H1B extension is filed and still waiting for the Approval?
Will that one will also be rejected or by attaching the receipt copy will be good enough?
Expired I-94 is ok, if
it is expired less than 180 days ago. 245(k) covers this.
or
change of status to H1/H4/L1/L2 is pending. In this case, attach copy of the receipt.
Not a legal advice.

Hi All,
7 years of stay in the US and 3 green card applications later, I finally got the 485 approval e-mail.....aaahhha......there is light at the end of this long long tunnel after all.
However I did not get any FP notice yet! Do you know if Biometrics is a requirement for issuing the physical green card and also any idea how long it takes to get the card from this point of time.
following is the current status in the online status of my 485:
Post Decision Activity
On October 26, 2010, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.
For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.

When is the Senate meeting and is it scheduled to take up the skil bill this year??...
When can it take it up next year??...
Could you please give some dates???.
I don't want to sound cynical but restate and emphasize what I have shared with the group over past few months. Everytime, around a deadline or around something we think as a cure, we build up hope, hype, leading to hysterical exchanges of postings, name callings, subsequent regrets , pre-mature back-pattings and in the end, enormous amount of disappointment.
I wish we could avoid this over SKIL Bill. The trend which many of us do not want to see is that the bill is just a decoy to satisfy industry-backed hard-currency donor stakeholders. The underlying mood among the majority of the members of Congress is not to seen as someone who gives even an inch **for** immigration. Any member who is seen as supporting openly for immigration on the floor would be a red herring or someone wearing a bull's eye while walking by a shooting range. This is the fact and any amount of new forum topics, name callings, challenging admin members etc. will not change the reality. Anybody familiar with the currents of democratic politics would know to expect no improvements - but only noises- over contentious issues 70 days before a critical nation-wide election. This is true for US of Americal, India or any other democratic country.
Guys, harden yourselves. IF and a big IF, something could happen, it should happen only with the new congress in place. That gives you a timeline starting from late December 2006. Add in a month or two at least for the matter to soak into among the new members, committees reorganized, scope of the issues redefined, proposed bills rewritten based on the current political climate.
I would bet on spring of 2007 and you may start praying that the issue gets settled positively before Thanksgiving of 2007 as after that would be, roughly, the start time for next Big election cycle. Just before you shoot emails criticizing me or my posting, please note that my visa number is retrogressed too and I have no ulterior motives to make this posting.

Hi everyone,
I have a related question. I am a canadian citizen now and am still maintaining an H1b. My H1b stamp had expired in 2007 though.
I had applied for AP in january but its still pending at NSC.
Now I have to go to India for my brother's marriage.
My question to you all is-Since I am still on H1B (and If am not wrong, canadian citizens do not require H1B stamps)-- will it be ok if I travel without an AP.
Thanks
I am a Canadian Citizen and travelled to India in last week of Jan 2009 and came back thro Philadelphia airport, no issues on H1B, they gave me a new I 94 and let me in.

Generally how many days it takes to get the actual RFE in hand.
I saw status update on May 20th and yet to get the copy in hand.
Me or my lawyer have not received it yet.
What are the next steps if we don't get it soon.
Waiting for the RFE for all 3 of us,wife,me and son. Called up USCIS and they said that it is sent to Lawyer's office. Would they send it to my home address also?

Most of you know about rear view mirror fuzzy dice cubes
I believe they can be customized too. for eg:
http://www.mascotfactory.com/store/Fuzzy-Dice.php?gclid=COaS8Kbv0ZUCFQJNagod3Gl7hg
I was wondering , if instead of a flowers campaign or bath tub stoppers and other ideas, how about if we send customized fuzzy dice cubes to uscis, which they can hang in their cars and see our message 'in their face' all the time. Hopefully after seeing the messages day after day our point gets driven home into their heads.
I was thinking we should have the faces of the dice cubes custom marked with the following 'F' motto messages
'Fair'
'Fast'
'Forward'
'Flexible'
'Fix'
'Flawless'
And send the following open letter to accompany the fuzzy cubes (May be even take full/half page ads out in newspapers, newsletters etc). I just put some ideas I had. The gurus can always add more to this.
Dear USCIS,
Please accept our token gift. We hope you would adopt the following traits as your motto.
'Fair'
- Be Fair
- Follow the FIFO order of priority dates.
- You have already set a prioritization order in place. Its the Priority Dates. We dont need another confusing set of priorities such as receipt dates/notice dates, processing dates that swing back and forth worse than a pendulum etc.
- How is it fair that you prioritize a PD 2006 over a PD 2001 case, just because the former's I-485 application was received few weeks earlier than the latter?
'Fast'
- Be Fast
- Most of us in the legal highly skilled immigrant community have been waiting for our GCs for an average of more than 5-6 years. Give us some relief
- Dont pull us from one backlog (labor approvals) only to dump us into another (I-485 Processing backlog)
- Follow your own rules regarding namecheck clearances and automatic eligibility of I-485 for approval if pending more than 180 days.
'Forward'
- Make forward progress
- EB3 I PDs haven't moved even few months in past several years
- EB2 I/C PDs are swinging like a pendulum
- Nobody understands how come processing dates at a service center can retrogress if files are opened in proper FIFO order
'Flexible'
- Be flexible
- Allow us to use AP as a regular travel document
- Recapture wasted visas
- Allow to file I-485 irrespective of PD being current
- Clarify AC 21 scenarios
- Make provisions to capture and count our waiting times in the GC process towards naturalization requirements. Most of us have been in US for 8-10 years average. How much longer do you need to naturalize us ??
' Fix'
- Fix the broken processes at USCIS
- Increase resources at the service centers
- Improve the customer service over telephone
- Be courteous to your customers
'Flawless'
- Provide flawless service.
- The highly skilled legal immigrant community deserves it. We pay millions of dollars in application fees to your orgnization and billions in tax dollars and Soc. Sec contributions to the US govt.
- Make online status updates more transparent.
- Provide more transparency around the processing dates, Visa number assignments, PDs, etc
We would have sent you nintendo game cubes instead of the fuzzy dice cubes. But alas, we are afraid we can't afford to risk any further drop in efficiency at your organization than the levels that it already is at.
Sincerely
Your customers

Investing in a company -> Yes (shareholder)
Own a company -> No
On H1b, you are not even supposed to make money via Google Adsense. Even if the money is diverted to your home country you have to quote these earnings on your taxes. H1b visa holder has to quote his/her worldwide income and its unclear if your income in your home country is taxed here be it Adsense income or a business.
No wonder many entrepreneurial ideas either die or are taking roots in Korea, India or China!
This has been my research on the internet and is not from a legal advisor.

I talked to my lawyer and he suggests me to show address as per my tax return.. So I did that.
He said it doesn't matter even if you have license of different state and showing residence of different state.
In my case, addresses are totally messed up. I just put the addresses as per my tax return. And in my case I got H1 in Nov 2006 only (less than year), so there is a good chance of back-ground check.. Lets see
Good Luck to everybody

Hello everyone,
Today 17th August, 2007 my I-485 packet was about to reach at Texas Service Center and unfortunately when I track my packet it shows �Notice Left� on USPS site, they mention they will try to deliver on Next business day. When I called at USPS , one lady picked up phone and she told it was PO Box no so we cant deliver. It is available to them to pick up but the man from USCIS might pick it up on early monday morning. Now I am worried does that mean my mailing date is Aug 17th or Aug 20th.
SO now USCIS will accept my application or not ?? Please advise ? Any body has same situation ?
