U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced that it has posted a revised Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Form I-485. In addition to a revised form, there are new filing locations. The changes are part of an overall effort to transition the intake of USCIS benefit forms from Service Centers to Lockbox facilities. Centralizing form and fee intake allows USCIS to provide the public more efficient and effective initial processing of applications and fees.
Beginning February 25, 2010, most applicants must submit Form I-485 to a USCIS Lockbox facility, depending on the eligibility category under which they are filing, as provided in the form instructions. USCIS Service Centers will forward all Form I-485 applications to the appropriate Lockbox facility until March 29, 2010. USCIS will accept previous versions of Form I-485 until March 29, 2010. After March 29, 2010, USCIS will only accept the Form I-485 dated �12/03/09.�Any previous versions of the the form that are submitted will be rejected. After the transitional period, the Service Centers will return any incorrectly filed Form I-485 with instructions to send the application to the correct location.
At this time, applicants should not concurrently file Form I-485 with an Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker (Form I-140) at a USCIS Lockbox facility. Refer to the Form I-140 filing Instructions for information on how to file forms concurrently.
When filing Form I-485 at a Lockbox facility, you may elect to receive an email and/or text message notifying you that USCIS has accepted your application. To receive notification, you must complete an E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance (Form G-1145), and attach it to the first page of your application.
For more information on USCIS programs, visit (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis) or call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.

Need some help/advice on PERM LC issue:
My employer has filed PERM LC (PD Sep 2008) in EB2 (Job Description: Masters OR Bachelors with 5 Yrs experience),
On may'09 got a query saying "Discrepency in Alien education and experience".
Stating: Alien workerer possessed Masters Degree and 16 months of experience where as the minimum job requirements set ETA form (H8 and H10)specified Masters and 5 yrs of experice.
my employer appealed saying: " H.4 in ETA does indicate masters deg. is the minimum requirement for the position and there is however no mention made of 5 yrs of exp. this appears in 8.A and 8.C as an alternate education and experience and therefore not related to the minimum requiremnt for the position"
Another mistake (which I don't know if its from PERM ior my employer) is even though i have more than 10 yrs of experience the reason for denial as you can see above says "Alien worker possessed Masters Degree and 16 months of experience where as the minimum job requirements set ETA form (H8 and H10)specified Masters and 5 yrs of experice."
thanks in advance, appreciate comments
UPDATE : After the appeal sent by my employer, my PERM case shows status as "in-process". Does it mean it will fall under usual processing times ? Can I expect a response in the coming months ? Please let me know.

I have PD which is current (Jun 03 EB2 India), a RD which is current (Jun 05! yes VSC transfer to TSC in Apr 07). In the last week of Nov 07 got a simple RFE (medical RFE wherein the doc forgot to check one box), which was replied promptly and got confirmation from USCIS that they got the response.
Have been following up with USCIS (service request, POJ-TSC from April 7th). Got a soft LUD today (04/22/2008). does it mean anything ?

Dear Friends,
My PD (EB3)is Dec-02. I have gone for Finger Printing twice now.
I see lot of reference to '45 Day letter' in the forum . I have no recollection of receiving the '45 Day ' letter so far.
Am I missing something here?
Can any one of you please explain what this letter is about?
Thanks,
Sreekanth
When the state workforce agencies (DOL's) transfered their applications to the Backlog Reduction Centers (BEC), the BEC sent a 45 days letter to the petitioner and the attorney to confirm if they are still interested in proceeding with the pending labor (some were pending for 4-5 years and they do not want to work on it unless the petitioner is still interested). The BEC gives them 45 days to respond, hence the name.

Hi,
My friend got his H1 last year for 2007-2008 and came to US in DEC 2007, he works for IT company. However, since he has arrived he has not been placed on a project and so no pay stub has been generated. He has been on bench for 6 months.(technically without a job but has H1)
Is he out of status?
Can he show that he is on vacation till he gets a project?
Is there any other way?
Pls help.
Thanks!

In some similar cases, filing a petition for mandamus in federal court has been effective. HOWEVER, this strategy is not without risk, and you should consult with an immigration attorney with specific experience dealing with 212(a)(3)(B) "hold" cases before proceeding.

I value the contribution of IV a lot, but saying that you will get an answer only if you contribute is lame.. This is a public forum and all contributions are voluntary. Your answer degrades the noble cause of IV. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
An answer will magically appear after you have contributed to the IV cause.

Before you come to know your dates are current, you will have 4-5 months to get the approved notice or more then that , during that time add your spouse name.
Once it is 485 is approved, then you have to wait for a while until you get Green Card to add your wife.

Folks,
Here's my situation: Eb2 India (PD of 24th May 2006), filed 485 ONLY for self in September 2008, got married later and hence wife is not yet added to my 485 application. She is dependent H4 on my H1 visa -- so even though I have EAD, I am NOT using it.
Changing jobs now going to same title, similar job duties. The lawyers at hiring company say I can use my EAD and H1b interchangeably! And my understanding was that the moment I use EAD, my H1B is annulled. Is this not right?
Second question -- the lawyer mentions that even if my date becomes current and we can for some reason NOT get my wife's 485 application in, we can always do follow-to-join without any issues. Has someone had any experience with this. My understanding was that I NEED to make sure my wife's 485 application reaches them on the 1st of the month in which my date is becoming current.
Could someone PLEASE comment on these two questions?
Thank you much!

Certainly not all hospitals and universities must most do fall in the non-profit category.
Check with the HR of that org. to confirm.
yes of course
All US universities and Hospitals are non-cap
the pay is less but jobs is more stable and the university will file the visa paperwork(no lawyers fees)
changing to cap-subject requires a regular oct-dependent h1b visa again

the format of employment date should be "mm/dd/yyyy", or just 'mm/yyyy'?
my last day in my previous employer was a Friday 5/15/2009 and my attorney entered 5/17/2009 (Sunday) as my last day on the LCA coz my first day in my current employer was 5/18/2009.
I am asking my former co-workers to write experience letter for me. Should I let them write '5/15/2009', or '5/17/2009' or just '5/2009' on the letters?
Thanks!

Hi California members,
There is an IV action item to fight recent practice of USCIS in denying I485 applications in some AC21 cases. For more info, please visit:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22182
It�s a serious issue which can affect many of us, please act now and send letters (letter formats and everything else is ready in the thread quoted above). It will only take a few minutes of your time.
State chapter leader,
Please try to bring attention of your state members to this IV core approved effort.
Thank you.
CAn you tell me the logic of posting multiple threads with this subject - wont just bumping the thread give you the same effect - this is really irritating

In my opinion, one of the more intriguing product announcements from Nikon today was the Coolpix 8700. If it improves significantly from the Sony, that could be a killer product. Right now, Canon is lacking a bit in the true consumer DSLR market. But then again, PMA is right around the corner. Click here (http://www.dphoto.us/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=122&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0) for the 8700 infp.
