Where we post photographs/names of immigrants and the respective countries that they are from. That way many of us who cannot make it to DC can actually show our support and it will put a human face to the whole thing....

Does anyone know what is the official term for your legal status if you are on EAD and no longer on H-1? I am trying to fill up an online form for opening an IRA and it asks whether I am
a) Citizen of US or Permanent Resident or
b) Citizen of Another Country and specifically, under what status (but only lists B, H, etc as valid visas - there is not EAD visa category!)
Of course, I am not a Permanent Resident yet but I don't believe I qualify under H visa anymore either since my H1 is not valid any longer.
Thanks for you help.

Do you still have the I 94 which came with I 797A ?? if have that just give that i 94
Thanks
Yes I believe that the I797 should have the latest I94 also try going to the nearest international airport or the one you are travelling from, the customs and immigration there may be able to help, they do issue replacement I94's. I have had this done once for my wife we had to get a correction done on the date as the IO's handwriting was not clear its a quick process. Make sure that you staple both I94's and surrender both of them. Even without the I94 you will be allowed to board the flight, the airline staff just detach it if there is one on your passport.

Dear Virgina Desi,
Congratulations, enjoy your card and stay in US. All the best for future.
I have a small question,
My Case: I applied earlier PERM was approved in NOV 06, applied for 140 and than changed employer so everything was wasted. After joining new employer again filed PERM in JUN/JUL 07 got audited, rejected and than filed for apeal. In the mean time got my OLD I-140 approved. Now its more than 10 month after my PERM appeal so waiting to withdraw this PERM to file a new one.
Question: I am aware i can retain the old priority date but my lawyer says first i need to get my PERM approved which i totally agree, than he says i need to get I-140 approved and than he will file for portability of date. I told him that you can file for I-140 and port the date together he says NO. Please clarify?
Thanks,
R.

My son is in custody and I am bonding him out this week;
ICE charged him deportable as a Aggrevated Felon becuase ;
He had a PETTY LARCENY in 2009 (misdemeanor) - orginal sentance to 60 days weekend intermittent jail and 3 years probation;
He violated probation and was given a year of weekends by the judge;
Now ICE are charging him as a AF saying he is deportable because his record shows 365 sentance for the petty larceny!!!
I an others disagree and that 'a year of weekends' is NOT a sentance of a year or a suspended year;
Any case files or history anyone - your answers are welcomed!

I believe unless you filed I-485 under the revised fee structure last year, you need to pay for EAD and AP renewal every time you have to renew.

I have Canadian GC since 2.9 years ago. I have to move to Canada in the next 2-3 months in order to maintain it. Should I move? I have stable job in US. I mostly thought I would have received my US GC by now. Is there any legal implications if I don't move. Do I just have to mail my canadian GC back to canadian consultate?
It is your call.
If you think your job is quite stable and you would be OK for next 1-2 years and your PD is close it is worth staying here because if US economy is bad I don't think Canadian Economy would do very good either.
Otherwise you should try to maintain canadian GC. As they say a bird in hand..... If you can find a job in canada life there is good. I was in a similar dilemma as you last year but by God's grace got my GC in time.
Some people told me last year that Canadians are not very strict about enforcing 3 year presence rule. Some people were admitted even after they stayed out for more than 3 years after landing.
But today I read on this forum that they strict these days.

All,
I posted another thread asking folks to thank core members for their sacrifice and great leadership. But at the same time few members like to "excercise their
freedom of voice" & We should all agree that constructive debate & sometimes criticism brings in new ideas and better path.
We should define ground rules for ourselves which will lead to efficient use of core members time:
1) Ensure that we make every effort to find answer before asking question/suggestion/complaint.
2) Keep one long thread without duplication.
3) Understand that Core members have job/family , so they have limited bandwidth .. please exercise patience.
4) Maintain civil constructive discourse, Which has a referanceble information if You want to send a link to a lawmaker or any other authority/influencer/potential volunteer or help someone become a wellwisher.
5) Understand the limitations of IV/lobbyist , So help them to make things happen & don't expect gurantees.
6) Never use derogatory remarks, even against proven distractors.
7) Please put forward only genuine concerns clearly to avoid misunderstanding
8) Ignore "whiners", But fully respect people with genuine concern/objection.
9) Please put forward only thoughts relevent to scope of current forum/discussion..
.. eg. "Discussing the gramatical mistake of someone's message is not relavent to this forum .." .
10) Always keep in mind that this is public forum , so It is our responsibility to show ourselves collectively in positive light
by not only passionate for our cause , But also professional in our responses.
11) Try to propose ideas which are attainable/pragmatic or You can add words like "I would like to see".
Definately All of us want some resolution out of this problem, But setting too aggresive milestones may results in
taking off eyeballs from low hanging fruit, wich IV is going after to begin with.
Please add other ground rules, So that we can have a good platform to discuss our issues and influence the working of IV to begin with & US congress eventually.Thisshould be good forum for members like me, who can't fully participate because of demanding schedule, others please participate other ways too.

Hi All,
My wife entered US on H4 Visa. Her H4 is valid until Oct 2009. Last year, she got her EAD and started working on EAD. If she has to travel out of the country and come back, can she do it on H4 until 2009 or will she need an AP now that she has used her EAD..
Could anyone please share..Apologies if this is a repeat. Could not find any info on the forums.

Immigrants at USC have helped design a special randomization program for LAX security called ARMOR! Doctoral student, Pankaj Paruchuri, and his professor, Milind Tambe, have designed this special program that will help National Security and enhance the security for all of us!
A Random Weapon in the War against Terror (http://http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21035785/site/newsweek/)
I can bet that the Doctoral student himself must have faced Backlog/ Retrogression at some time! I do not know him, but I think IV should contact him!

He does tests or send for tests. HIV and syphilis.
There are places (even though not remote) , you cant get appointments for weeks. There must be different reasons for that. I don't think any one answered the OP question:
What blood tests need to be done (apart from HIV and Siphyllis)?

People who want to contribute money will always do. You may get a few people to donate because of the "Donor" status, but most I feel want to contribute because they care.
Please allow me to turn around that question and pose it back to you - so how do we keep and attract people to volunteer (for all the wonderful things that I mentioned in my post)?
All I am saying is that this approach could hurt more than it may help.
Yes...I respect the volunteer. But still we need money. What is the source for that. I am not saying that I am going to contribute everymonth. Whenever possible I am going to. Otherwise just keep going and not going to whine about that.

I have applied 485 during the july07 fiasco,I got 2 eads and aps,they have not even touched my case since april08.Is my case preadjudicated?
If you have not yet received any RFE, you are a lucky person and your I-485 application has been filed perfectly. As per USCIS announcements, they have almost completed (99.99%) review of all pending AOS cases and pre-adjudicated most of them. I will presume that your case has been pre-adjudicated and all set to go Green whenever visa number is available.
One way to find out whether your case been pre-adjudicated is to call USCIS thro POJ method and talk to a IO (not customer service person) and they will be able to tell you.
