Thanks Ann for responding.
RFE was for I-485, Priority date is Aug 2006. I-140 is approved.
RFE was asking to show that I was in valid visa status between 1997 and 2000, but surprisingly, I came to US only in 2000 that too on 2 business VISAs so I never worked in US until 2001. My Lawyer sent an affdavit stating that I was not in US between 1997 and 2000 and I was on business VISA on two occasions in 2000, also letter said that if they wanted we could send them the copies of stampings on the passport.
Thanks again.

The online system has been inconsistent in the past too. So you can never really tell what's happening behind the scenes.

Hey guys,
See guys, My original LC was approved with PD of 2003 from this same company but I-140 was denied due to A2p and now is in appeal. This lc sub is from other worker with lower salary and he left the company 3 yrs ago and I am still working here. It's not like a desi consultancy where they sell approved labor, hold your h1 so you can't transfer your h1, get pay cut and put innocent people's status in jeopardy and create problem for everyone else who want to do LC sub in a honest way. It's a genuine LC substitution and I want to do it as long as the law allow me to do that.
I am also fraustrated with USCIS messed up policy of doing whatever they want and hopefully something will work out for all of us in good way!
thanks

did you get a letter from USCIS to your new address that they have received your address change request?
i changed my address back in last week of September and got the letter in mid october. i got two separte letter one addressed to me and one addressed to my wife. this letter will ensure that they have your new correct address on the file. you should get one letter for you and for each dependent. also, you should change addresses for each individuals (for you and dependent).
also keep in touch with your lawyer, they shall recieve one notice for FP alongwith you.
Did you apply online or thru regular mail? Also, if you sent regular mail, was it certified mail or just regular first-class mail?

Is a BE from India considered an advanced degree. What is the definition of an advanced degree ? GURUS please respond.
Aliens who have advanced degree in science,technology,engineering or math and have been working in a related field in US under a non immigrant visa during the 3 year period preceding their application should be exempt from numerical limits.

I am thinking it might be because my employee is based in Virginia. But I have been working in Texas since 2003. So I have no clue what triggered this transfer.

Hey kumarc123,
Thank you.
Actually, there is a stamp in the passport at the time of entry to US (Dec 2007). And they can verify that. That's why we entered Dec 2007 as the last entry date in I-485 form. It's just that I-94 has the old date (Feb 2005). We're hoping this won't cause any trouble during the interview.
Hope I didn't confuse you.

desimass77,
I talked to the FAO and they seem to understand my situation. I just want to see if my wife qulifies as 'Qualified Non-Citizen' because she has not used her EAD as of yet and neither I have used my EAD or AP.

Man, you definitely sound like a multinational manager and worthy of L1A visa. Please tell USCIS that your wife is waiting for her bonus money and she is not readily available to join you on L2, USCIS would mail her Green Card overseas. Under the circumstances, someone from Department of State would personally hand it over to your wife. Thank you your highness.
Hi folks, sorry for posting this again, but I posted in the self-help area and nobody answered (I guess there's very little traffic there surprisingly)....

Hi Folks
I'm here in the US on a L1A visa and would like to apply for Green Card (I'm assuming i-485) soon. My wife who is currently outside of US has recently received her L2 visa within one business day I may add! So, we're waiting for her to join me here in the States within two months as she is currently working abroad and needs to wait for her bonus $...
In any case, I was thinking of applying for an EAD for her in conjunction of i-485, but I've been reading that others who are holding a H1 visa is also applying for an EAD (why on earth for?!) as you are allowed to work on H1 already no? I thought EAD is authorization to work only??
In my case, my wife needs EAD in order to work as L2 only allows her entry to the States and her visa would "clone" mine (ie. whatever my expiry date is, hers will expire).
Should I also apply for EAD too even though my L1a visa already permits me to work legally here in the US?

There is no LAW that mandates this!......It's kind of a best practice thing - people usually recommend 6 months.
Ok, I know this could be wrong answer... But since we are legal immigrants we need to follow all the laws!!:D

Hi Folks,
I had applied for AOS,EAD and AP for me and my wife on July 2nd.
I got my EAD, Finger Printing Notification, but my wife's application got returned on Aug 30th. I called USCIS after 3 months to find out status on her case and they said it was returned on Aug 30th which we haven't received so far. The reason for rejection was incorrect or missing check.:(
So, can please any one tell me if i can re-apply her case even though i did not get her application back?
Any information on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot

I am also in the same situation and I asked my attorney. He said that if we can get notarized affidavits from Parents then it is sufficient. So get the format from your attorney and get it signed by your parents. They need at least 2 affidavits who were present at the time of the birth.
That is right. Each attorney has their own format, get your attorney's format and send it this.

Well...so now they have added addln staff to handle the annual load (1 - 1.3 mil) EAD/AP requests....
Not yet. It is still planning to hire those 1500. So soon USCIS will come up with argument regarding "Administrative burden" to hire those 1500 and set up training centers and it will take almost 2 years. Again we will hear the reason for further slow down due to this un anticipated work load. After 2 years USCIS will realize the "heavy financial burden" which will also be un anticipated and hence USCIS will come up with fee increase... Cycle will go on and on...

Im hearing that most of Indian filers filed for EB2 which has lead to EB2 demand outstripping EB3.
So of the two tortoises EB3 might move faster than EB2.
Any comments ?

Just got a word from our attorney that my case was approved on 09/08/2010. In my case USCIS did not update the website with the approved status! Not even a soft LUD.... I don't know their operating standard!
Thanks for many of you reading my post! So now you know even with out USCIS website update there is a chance that ones case would be approved.
Lesson learnt: Always check with attorney!
Now on to the final hurdle! I-485.

Hi Raj : Did you switch to EB2 with a new company? If yes, could you please let me know, how long did it take you to get the new labor?

I think they(outsourcing companies) do and that's the abuse part of it.
Sponsoring company should be a non-american company.
What is the difference between L1B and H1B? Why don't companies hire on L1B when H1B's are over? Thanks.
