I have two 797s:
1. Valid from Feb 2006 to June 04th 2007
2. June 05th 2007 to June 04th 2010
I went to India in Mar 07 and got the stamping till 2010. The old visa stamping was from prev employer and already got expired. The new visa stamp has both 797 Receipt #s and effective dates. Had I got my visa stamping after June 2007, everything would be cool and dandy. As I got the stamping before the current one expired and came into US before the current one expired, I was given and I-94 that ends on June 04th 2007. As this I-94 is the latest, I feel that this invalidates my other I-94 I got in my new 797. I left a VM to my lawyer. Hope he gets back and I am looking into applying for my H1B extension. This sucks :(
Her visa stamp was expiring on 15Feb07 and she entered US in Dec'06 and she was carrying the extended H4 I-797 valid till 2009. The officer at POE gave the I-94 valid only till 15Feb07. I did lot of research and found the last action on I-94 invalidates the previous ones. So her I-94 was valid only till 15Feb07. I went to the local CBP office and the officer understood what I'm talking about. He took copy of I-94 and issued a new I-94. He faxed it to some company which keeps the I-94 database.
So if possible it's better to go in person and explain. My 2 cents.

Is it possible to file I-485 without I-693(Medical) ?
The reason I ask is that I cannot get a doctor's appointment in July. For some reason, if we are able to file in July, can I submit the 485 first and submit teh I-693 later.
Please advise
Medical reports are part of initial evidence and without them the case could be rejected. I think the new guidelines give the officers power to reject the case instead of asking for RFE if initial evidence is missing..

Here is my situation, someone please suggest me:
I am using EAD to work for my GC sponsoring company and I got laid off. My HR says that they are going to inform USCIS that I am no longer working for them. HR also says that they won’t cancel my approved I-140 and going to rehire me once I get the new project.
My question:
When I joined them there is information to USCIS.I just filled I-9 form and gave it to the company, no information to USCIS. Now when I got terminated what is the need for the company to inform this to USCIS? Anyhow I am going to join them once I get the new project in couple of months. Is it a new law? Will there be any problem at the POE if travel outside US and come back using AP? Is there any chance that USCIS sends me RFE?
Thanks In Advance

Thanks for sharing the link, I will go through this.
It is not about money. I have absolutely no problem giving even 100$s per month for the cause if I know how my hard earned money is being spend. Actions like deleting threads, banning users just for asking reports, makes people uncomfortable. Have you seen the financial report at Eb3 Chinese Financial Report - ��›-�‰�-��Œ�š秿�-‘�•�-‹信�‰˜�Ÿ��‡‘ (http://www.eb3chinese.org/5.html).
BTW, Hari if IV doesn't show you the links to donar forum, how will you know what you are missing ...
just my 2 cents.
I am the same as you. I would rather trust IV than an Immigration lawyer, and we don't have any other viable option. Every member here is a high skilled immigrant and there is no public Company or business doing this.
I saw the website, they are probably the only ones giving details , and if I recall they haven't achieved anything until now (maybe co-related?)
IV has details for all previous years and in the video they have given justification. Most other Advocacy groups are run by lawyers not immigrants. None of them give a day-today expense report. I have also learnt the hard way what the priorities of immigration attorneys are.
many of them have spoken in favor of Illegal amnesty as it would increase their business while almost ignoring us.

I have been owning for 7 years now. I bought the first one in 2000 and sold it in 2005 - though most of 2001 and 2002 were in recession, I still made 200% of what I invested. But do not see house as an investment. For me i want a place when I retire. If it appreciates its good.
I have my mortgage with penfed.org. They have the best rate available. They are slow though - do not expect them to close within 30 days.
Good luck.

I think if Indian external affairs ministry understands that highly skilled Indian born citizens have to wait for 16 to 50 years where as even less skilled candidate gets away with green card in 6 months just because he was NOT born in India; they would at least protest in soft words.

I know this topic has been discussed in other threads as well and those threads got buried over the Period of time but this is getting beyond limit now - let me know if anyone has any good idea or if we can do anything together......
My PD is EB3 Mar 2005 and my 140 is applied in EB3 May 2007. at NSC (Nebraska) Its been 13 months and no signs of movement and no one is helping . Here what I did on a personal level and here is what i heard.
a) Contacted USCIS - they said contact employer/lawyer because they are the beneficiary.
b) Contacted Lawyer - they said 'Pls wait for some more time' & then ask employer.
c) Contacted Employer - they said that we can't push lawyers unless your case is passed 2 months from Processing Date update.
d) Contacted Local Congressman - Told them that the Processing Date update is a farce and USCIS (NSC) moves them back n forth just to save their Face. This is really unfair for a certain category of peoples. They took my case no. and inquired and then said that since you have a parallel H1B and a job - we would wait. If your existence in US comes on the Line then we will Jump in and help you. We are sorry but we can't really expedite unless a emergency comes.
Now tell me folks what other options we all have - NSC is just messing with EB3 140. Whatever is the workload this can not happen. Do we still have some options to work on (apart from sitting idle and pray) ?

If the minister talks to the US President regarding VISA retrogression problem,How the outside world will come to know ? The discussions will be kept confidential ! I don't think everything will be disclosed to the press. VISA revalidation is another thing he can talk to US Secretary of State.
Wel well well...

What Good will that do US President in several instance has supported our cause Presidents Economic Report 2006 is one such instance. Obstacle is HR not US President. President along with senate is trying to get CIR passed problem is path to citizenship of 12million Illegal in the same bill that is raising eyebrows.

Both nation has tremendous freedom of press what happens is ones bedroom is not confidential what makes you think this will be. Our GC is very trivial issue in the world of International politics.
I am as frustrated as you are In time like this prudence should rule our thought and action not frustration.

Your post is contradictory. At beginning you said
We are now in a dazed state as we just realised we don't have any savings, whatever we had, we made bad choices .
So how are you going to pay off your house if you've no money? Do you mean you are going to sell it and pay off mortgage? But in current market your house value would be less than what you owe, so you may end up owing more to mortgage company than what you'll get after selling house.
My boss recently changed and the work environment is not good anymore (never imagined this would happen), I am in a constant pressure and no job security. It's a shocker in a fulltime state job.
We bought a house last year needless to say that the prices have fallen. We are now in a dazed state as we just realised we don't have any savings, whatever we had, we made bad choices - house, 2 cars (They looked good at that time though) and put about 10% on the house.
We were planning on to invest all our savings in the house as we recently paid off our two cars and no other debts. But after reading some posts here on the housing and investment market. I am not sure if I want to put everything in the house, having my job at risk and no GC yet.
Being a novice in fianancial matters, need advice.
Appreciate your thoughts on this.

One of our members has written this as below, it looks good.
PLEASE READ AND CHANGE AS REQUIRED.
Hi,
The plight of legal immigants has been lost in all the noise and focus on illegal immigration. There are about 500K legal high-skilled immigrants from around the world who are presently working in the US legally on a temporary work visa issued by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services and in the queue for a permanent resident card also known as Green Card (GC).
There are only 140K GCs given per year for all employment based categories and the employer who sponsors the immigrant has to prove that the job cannot be filled by an American Citizen through a lbour market test. The 140K number is also used to count the spouse and children of the high skilled immigrant. So in essence there are only about 60K high skilled immigrants given a GC each year. Also there is a per country limit of 7%, so only about 5000 GCs are given to high-skilled geal immigrants from each country. This has lead to a huge backlog in GCs especially from countries which send may high-skilled immigrants like China and India. To make matters worse the Congress authorized about 250K illegal aliens a one time waiver to adjust status in the year 2000 and those numbers come out of the regular 140K per year granted to legal high-skilled immigrants.
All this has resulted in a expected wait of "8-12 years" for getting a GC for a "Play-By The Rules" legal high-skilled immigrant. Add another % years after that to get US Citizenship. Seeing these kind of numbers many talented young engineers , scientists and doctors are moving to other countries in droves. No one would like a wait for 15 years to become a naturalized citizen. America is losing a lot due to this Retrogression (Backlog) in GCs, especially when there is a global competition for Talent. The only ones who have patience to stick on is those who have already been in the waiting game for
years and have a lot at stake to leave it at this stage. And for those that chose to wait in this manner life is hell. For 7-10 years they cannot change jobs, cannot get promoted or even change job roles within the same company, cannot get transferred to a different location in same company. Any of these events will mean starting in line all over again. Also their spouses cannot work and they cannot buy homes or make other investment decisions due to the uncertainity, many who have kids in college have to pay higher tution.
I am one of these stuck in this GC hell for the last 9 years, I came to the United States as a student in 1995 to pursue graduate studies in Engineering in a top-ranked university. I have been employed legally in the US since I graduated in 1997 and been pursuing the GC dream for the last 9 years. The end is not in sight and if Congress does not pass any relief I expect the wait to last at least another 5 years.
What does it take for congress to pass some relief? Just some simple relief measures
1. Increase the numbers of GCs to 250K per year temporarily for 2-3 years to alleviate the current problem.
2. Allow to recover unused GC numbers from previous 5 years to be used to alleviate the current retrogression.
3. Do not count spouse and dependents towards the annual number
4. Do not count against the annual cap count certain high-skilled immigrants who have a advanced degree from the US and have worked in a high-skilled job legally in the United states for 3 years .

you might also need a copy of your approved Labour application.
I am not sure if you can get the documents directly from the UCIS becuase the documents belong to your employer and not you.
you can try through Freedom of Information Act(foia.com). but it might take a while to get the documents.
