Are you sure you have to submit the tax forms for filing I-485?
Hi,
I wanted to know how critical are the tax returns for GC processing. I am asking this because i have filed the tax returns for 2006 as married even though i got married in January'07.
Now my marriage certificate reflects jan'07 and the tax return for 2006 was filed as joint.
Will this be of issue in the processing? Is there a way out from this, like readjust the tax returns?
Any help in this regard with be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Before I say any thing further, I want to clarify that I am NOT asking for any action but want to point out to a unique Gandhigiri protest idea proposed by one of our members:
On one of the posts rajmehrotra suggested "Something like a mass blood donation drive will garner empathy and publicity in a positive way." This was seconded by another member Gravitation. Not sure what other people think but I personally liked this idea very much.
So please save this idea for future use if others also recommend it.

Should it not be OK to work for an Indian company (work from home - remote office)
as long as person on H4 is NOT displacing an American Worker by any means? I am curious to know.
Thanks,
Krishna
No. When you are residing in USA in H4 status, you simply CANNOT work and get paid, regardless of who the employer is (even if outside of USA) or where your "earned income" is being deposited (even if outside of USA) or in which currency your "earned income" is (even if non US dollar) or how you are working that is providing you with "earned income" (even remote office or home office that does not displace american worker)
In short - No.

I did it few months back for my wife from CGI SFO. You should be fine. There ia one thing though. The I-693 medical exam needs your wife's passport number. You could do that only after you receive the new passport. May cause some delay.

A new immigration enforcement bill that would remove the jobs magnet for illegal immigration is expected to be introduced in the House very soon. The SAVE Act (Secure America with Verification Enforcement) will be sponsored by Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) and is expected to have bi-partisan support. NumbersUSA believes this bill originating on the Democratic side of the House is just the vehicle to give us a chance to actually pass immigration legislation through a Democratic-controlled Congress that would significantly improve the lives of most Americans. Specifically, The SAVE Act would eventually require every employee in America to go through the E-Verify system, identifying all illegal aliens and removing any "glitches" that once allowed them to pass through the system and into the workforce undetected.
--------------------
I don't see anything wrong with this act, infact I was wondering if there was any possibility that we can ride this bill and add EB reforms to it.
Right.. Here they go again . I heard "ENFORCEMENT ONLY" Bills from the past 2 years now . The White House has a "NO MATCH" rule which was exactly like the SAVE :D Act ( How do they come up with these names ) ? The NO MATCH rule was blocked 2 times in a row by US Judges . I wonder why do they waste time drafting these non starters. Waste of paper and Printer ink is at the most that these Bills go to .. "SAVE" the trees at least .

I came to Montreal for H1/H4 stamping for my wife and two sons. My interview date was 3/18 and they told me it will take abt. 10 days and now its almost over 20 days and no news from them. I am EB3-PD 8/03-I-140/EAD Approved. FP also done. Can you pls. let me know if they asked you any questions or you had any comunication with them after your interview? In my case they kept all our passports, Originals of our H1/H4/EAD approvals/Letter from the employer also.
I had also done the stamping from Toronto in 2005 without any problem. Is this a PIMS related issue?
ramesh
Sorry to hear you're being held for so long. My case involved Mumbai consulate, I waited for slightly more than a month and then travelled back to the US on the AP.
During the interview when I was in India the CO did not ask me any questions related to my immigrant visa/485/EAD etc. I still dont know why it took so long for them to do the processing, security clearance, PIMS, TAL, anything is my guess.
Although I am baffled that they kept your passport, I thought the passport belongs to you and the Indian government and they can't keep it for so long even though lots of consulates do that. Thankfully mumbai consulate did not take my passport so I had the option to travel back.
And why would you give them any originals related to your green card like EAD ? That has no connection with your H1B visa stamping. If you have a valid AP then you should just travel back on it, and when they email you saying that your visa is ready for stamping travel back(If the canadian consulate isn't too far from where you live in US). I dont have that option, India is too far and expensive for me to travel especially after a recent trip.

Happened to us in May. Mine came after a week, but the dates were the same for both of us. I think it would not hurt to walk along with your spouse and try to do a walk-in.
Dear All,
I just received a FP notice for my wife scheduled for Sep 19, 2007. I have not received mine yet (I am the primary applicant), I have a few questions regarding this. Please help me if you have any information.
1. Is it normal for the primary applicant to not receive FP notice at the same time as dependent?
2. Can my wife get it done without me getting an FP notice?
3. Can I get my FP done on the same day as my wife even though I did not receive my FP notice?
4. I have filed for I-485, EAD and AP, will we both receive an FP notice for all 3 applications or it is just one FP for all applications?
Please help us with your expertise. Thank you very much for all your time.

USCIS just went through the laborous task of processing more than 1 million applications for 485, ead, ap combined and also sending out FP notices and guess what, come Feb-march most of us will be ready to reapply for EAD and AP and USCIS has to go through the same process and this is likely to continue for next 4-5 years atleast..All USCIS wil be doing is processing EADs and AP..
Don't you guys think USCIS must be seriuosly thinking of a solution to clear this mess once and for all
Options
1) Give 3 yr ead and AP
2) As a one time thing make priority dates of all july applications only current :) (highly unlikely)

I think, you should check with an Immigration Attorney before you risk your wife�s multiple entry Visitor Visa.
My take:
AFAIK, staying beyond the I-94 expiration date will abandon her Visitor Visa, and she could be denied entry next time.
In your wife�s case, you have applied for a change-of-status, however a decision has not yet been made, so she should leave the country before the I-94 expiration date and come back later after the F1 is approved. But, leaving the country while the change-of-status application is pending might cancel the change-of-status application, and not the underlying F1 application. So, your wife may have to get a F1 visa stamping abroad to come back later.
The above said information is purely based on my knowledge and may vary from an Attorney�s view.
Good Luck!
Once again, per INA a person is allowed to remain legally in the U.S. while COS is pending. Leaving U.S. while COS is pending is VERY bad idea so several reasons, including but not limited to abandonment of the underlying petition. Please check INA for details.

If you are still on a H or L and have a valid visa, you can enter using that as well but if you working on an EAD, all yopu will need is the parole document.

So fine with me if this has already been discussed, Can we promote this and track it. Would it be too much to add a second thread that talks about contributions to IV when i look at 5 threads at the top of the list that all track LUD's :)
k3gc ... there is nothing wrong with opening this new thread. The idea was discussed last time, but there was no tracking. So its the tracking thingy which is new in your proposal. I personally think that discussing this idea is much better than discussing about lord Ganesha's picture on a beer bottle.

I have a friend holding a "Tourist Visa" and still back home. If an employer files I-140 for him, will that give him a risk of not allowed entry using Tourist Visa at the port of entry because he has an I-140 petition?
If he works for the same company abroad that filed for his i140, it should not be a problem. If he does not work and instead wants to come on a tourist visa, he might have problems.

I dont know exactly what is the issue here, but I have filed for EAD extentions 3 times in last three years and it was a very straight forward and easy process. We filed the extentions about 2 months before the expiration and got EADs and APs done in about a month.
I wanted to start this thread so we could get together a plan of action for victims of undue processing delays for EAD/AP. This is a very serious and upcoming issue and we would all be well served to pool ideas.
Here is what I have so far. Some ideas based on my experience and some on searching the web.
1) Apply for your EAD atleast 120 days ahead of the expiry of the current one(USCIS now reccomends 6mths ahead!) Yes you may lose time if they approve it early but atleast, you have the peace of mind and it gives you 30 days breathing space in case of RFE or to get an interim EAD.
2) Check for a LUD at or slightly after 80 days pending. Contact your lawyer at about this time for suggestions.
3) Schedule an infopass appointment for day 91. Ask for the interim EAD.
You can also call the regional service center if you wish.
4) Contact your congressman's office at about this time and ask for their assistance in expediting this request.
5) Fedex an application for an interim EAD the same day. Include a copy of your current EAD copy, your pending 485 on which the interim benefits are based and a copy of attendance at any recently done biometrics.
6) Consider talking with your employer to take a few days off while sorting this out.
If anyone has any additions to this checklist of items or suggestions/modifications. Let me know.

Correct me if I am wrong...but I believe a bill has to pass in both Senate and Congress and signed by President to be enacted into law. Currently the H1/EB bills are only presented in Senate. Any comments?
