Guys,
I found some new information and it seems that few people who are still waiting may get some clue if not complete idea. Basically I found that when your PD is current the the IO will initiate the FP, Namecheck, IBIS check again when your AOS is in "Final Approval, Visa Available" state. Some IOs would just refresh the FP they have on file and some request another . But namecheck is something that you have to go through again. So if you get stuck in namecheck again, then that could be the reason for the delay since NC takes forever.
Can you please share the source of this info?
Is it a learned experience or from a published source ?
Any info is highly appreciated.
Thanks

A hypothetical, but important debate on worst case scenario in changing job using AC21
================================================== ======
Assume changing jobs using AC21 has some risk, debate is what is that risk. I am not expecting response like pack up and leave back to home country as I already know that. I am interested serious debate from people who used AC21 and bought houses and simulated in American culture and have family reasons to stay in US.
Lets assume USCIS send some RFE and rejected 485 that new job was not same or similar. Now -
a) How many days I have to leave country ?
b) After the rejection of adjustment of status how many days I have to wrap up my current job or I must leave it same day when rejection letter received from USCIS ?
b) After those number of days can one acquire visitor's visa for up to six months to pack up stuff, house and family on the ground of rejection of adjustment of status?
c) Can one change status to some non immigrant visa such as new H-1B or F-1 by traveling back and reentering to USA ?
d) After the rejection of adjustment of status can one still port priority date in a new green card processing ?
f) I am also interested to hear feedback on what one can do to mitigate the risk of Ac21(I already know that use attorney's advise when changing job or donot change the job)

I have applied for my H1 extension in July 2010 and still waiting for the approval. My in-laws are visiting the US in dec and i am sponsoring their visit. Should my H1B be approved before they appear for the Visa interview or should the H1 receipt notice be enough? Please let me know.
rk78:
There is no such rule that you should have an approved H1B in hand. However you never know the kind of immigration officer your in-laws/parents see at the embassy. If it is not too urgent wait till your H1B is approved. If it is urgent just write a letter stating the facts accompanied by a copy of your old H1b, new H1B receipt notice and a letter of continued employment from your employer. Yes include other documents like paystubs, past tax returns and etc.
Best Wishes!!
Thanks, Mattresscoil!!

We did the exact same thing. We informed officer that my wife's Extension is pending, he said that's fine and gave her I-94 valid for 40 days (time remaining on her H4 visa).

According to a recent Newsweek article, Immigrants irrespective of their legal status are actually good for the job market, and boost the economy.
Lou Dobbs, take note: immigrants are good for our economy. The most skilled create jobs in technology and engineering, says Duke professor Vivek Wadhwa, who estimates that in 2005 immigrant-founded engineering and tech companies employed 450,000 people and generated $52 billion in sales. But even the least skilled more than repay their costs in schools and health care. Two highly respected Australian economists, Maureen Rimmer and Peter Dixon, studied the issue for the libertarian Cato Institute. "The net impact on U.S. households from tighter border enforcement is unambiguously negative," they found, because even low-skilled immigrants expand the economic pie and create jobs farther up the ladder. Cato's Dan Griswold says the study shows a $250 billion difference between the most and least restrictive immigration policies.Read more here (http://www.newsweek.com/id/212147)
Here is what Michael Bloomberg, the Mayor of New York (http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/09_34/b4144053830583_page_2.htm), had to say about Immigration and the economy:
America's deep pool of talent and technological knowhow will continue to make it a highly desirable location�and investment opportunity. And if Congress has the sense to fix our broken immigration system, our open society and world-class universities will remain a magnet for the world's best and brightest. That's important: Economists have estimated that every person arriving on an H1-B visa (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) creates jobs for five native-born Americans. Competing for talent and capital will also require all levels of government to invest more in our quality of life�mass transit, parks, schools, and so forth. That will help raise our long-term standard of living, even if real incomes don't rise appreciably in the near term.

When my I 140 was approved I was not married so the only name was mine. But during July 07 time I was married so was able to file I 485 for both.
If wife name is not mentioned what is the consequence?

Hi ivvm. Thanks for the info. DO EB-1 and EB-2 require LC? Would the NIW bypass LC? Is NIW filing equivalent to EB-2? What is the importance of Job description?
Sorry for asking so many questions. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Hi All,
I just joined a new company and would like to use AC21 as I will be working on EAD. 140 is approved and 485 is pending for more than 180 days. New job is same or similar as per ONET job code.
My question is,
Is it necessary to involve your attorney or you can simply go ahead and file AC21 yourself?
I would like to what others have done? What kind of extra fees your attorney has charged for AC21?
Thanks
There is nothing called AC21 filing ie AC21 does not have a form that you fill out etc.... generally Attorneys attach the docs with a covering letter citing the AC21 clause and from what I understand, these docs may/may not get into your file.
The advantage of using an Attorney is,
(1) G28 filing - Attorney will get communication and be in position to respond or guide appropriately
(2) NOID, RFE and denials might happen and MTR may have to be filed.
Most times, issues arise when old employer withdraws the 140 petition.
USCIS needs to have a better way of handling this and avoid unnecessary tensions and errors

Thanks! And yes, those were taken in New York. Brooklyn, to be exact...
The first one is the 7th Avenue stop on F. That's actually 8th Ave, but the station is really big. :) The other ones are also of 8th Ave and taken from my apartment.
I'm gonna make some more, as I soon as I upload some other photos.

All,
I am in a bit of confusion and needed some info. I had applied for I-485 during July fiasco and my spouse applied as derivative. We had applied for her H1 extension/transfer through another employer after we filed for I-485 as we did not want her to use EAD. We recently received her H-1 approval without I-94.
I am not sure at this point if she has to leave immediately to get the h1 stamp Or she can continue to stay here as her AOS is pending based on derivative status of my application.
Also will her getting approved without I-94 impact her pending AOS in anyway

For the more sophisticated types, you can do a carry trade by shorting USD in the Fx markets and putting the proceeds in a Brazilian short term bond which yields 9.5%. Everbank in Nevada issues a Brazilian bond by an AAA rated German bank. Not government backed debt but the underlying instruments are all government bonds.
The net of transaction costs is a yield pick up of about 7.5% and your money invested is Zero. Of course there is no such as a free lunch and you need to have accounts with the ability to seamlessly trade Fx and other instruments. Plus you will have the risk of default on your shoulders.
-Cheers

So are these different from the finger prints that we take for EAD? For people who got their priority date current, do they ask for a separate finger prints again? Does anyone can shed some light on this?

Anybody? any ideas?
