Note that once you get a new passport the old one will be stamped as cancelled. So effectively you only get to use the new passport and all stamping will be done on that.

did you by any chance not send the extra $15 or so which guarantees overnight delivery. My experience is that I got my new passport back within 7 days. Same with my wife's passport. This is SF I am talking about.

Hope he finds a job soon. It's sad to see bad things happening to good people.
But I have a lot to be thankful for. Thanks to IV, he has his EAD and can have one less thing to worry about in his new job search.

As per USINPAC, you need to say thank you to them as they claim to have started and run this campaign. Fraudstrers...!

I've seen your posts since long and just noticed that we have the same RD/ND @ NSC.
RD: 08/02/2007, ND: 09/17/2007 @NSC
Have you seen any LUD's recently?
No, last LUD was in Dec. It does not matter, because in between LUDs are not happening. Directly people are getting a HARD LUD for GC approval.

I don't think Address change (AR 11) will invoke any RFE.
It will definitely get a LUD on the i-485, as its referring the address change to I-485
I have changed address twice in the last 2 years, filing AR-11 online. Its quite straight forward and simple.
Please don't be scared to move ur Apartments / home due to pending I-485

i have given blood probably 10-12 times.
Red Cross may not have taken you blood for other reasons not because you are an immigrant , one major reason to deny blood donation is travel
outside US to a country that still has widesspread malaria.
India and most Southeast asian coutries among such countries is one such issues.
Please dont spread incorrect information.
I have volunteered in sports event, donated blood, build houses as volunteer and have been part of volunteer trail maintainance.....and i am an immigrant.
This country is one of the most independent and free countries on face of earth.
Texcan,
There are lot of places which will not take blood if you have not stayed here for 5years. It generally takes 5years for any antigens to get out of system. So some places have rule of thumb for 5years. Now when you are immigrant from India, it is taken for granted to question your length of stay.
There are lot of places which will accept blood from everybody for lack of donors and do their own screenings. It depends on funding/urgent need. I am sure there was no intention of denial based on immigration status/race.

Can IV core put some light on -
Is there quarterly Visa spillover or its only at the end of every USCIS year (July-sept) ?
If NO, any way to add that in?
Thank!
Is there any plan by IV for quarterly spillover. We could do it collectively like send letters to senators or Ombudsman?

My labor was approved in October 2005 and the dates were in 1998 then so couldnt apply for 485. I applied for I 140 and that was approved in December 2005. Couldnt apply for I 485 until June 2007 just 1 month before the "free for all" where my dear friends with PD in 2007 could also apply.

Where did you read extra cash is being pumped into other gov projects.
I read on USCIS website they were hiring 1500 new employees.
to be fair to USCIS they did try to get out of the fiasco on july 1 by moving the dates back again Eventually they were forced to accept it again..
They clearly knew this was cash cow so why did they want to cancel it in the first place..
Its a lot of money and its definitely a lot of work as well..There are also no signs of hiring new stafff..most of extra cash they getting is being pumped into other gov projects so the staff is still being overworked and I am sure will be complaning

with Hillary winning Texas on the back of Lations and McCain finalizing the nomination, logic says stupidity like this would hurt the GOP. Siskind floated a scenario like that earlier, but if it's supposed to hurt the GOP, why wouldn't the GOP leadership reign in Sessions et. al.? Maybe I am over-analyzing but I saw this a couple of days ago on how Dem leaders may want to go anti also: http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=227606&postcount=2049
oh BTW I agree w/ you that this is going down the drain.
This is a classic example of election year posturing where republicans want to look tough on immigration. This bill will head straight down the trash.

do we need a UK visa even if we have a valid stamped US passport?
US citizens don't need visa to visit UK and most European nations.

In September 2001, I came here on visitor visa with my mother and resided here till today (I was 15). I went through 4 yrs of high school, got my GED followed by an associate degree from community college and now I'm an undergrad student pursuing my bachelor degree; will graduate in a year. Meanwhile, my mother became a U.S. citizen through marriage when I was a sophomore in college, simultaneously my I-130 was approved and now waiting for the visa availability; the priority date: Dec 08, 2006, F1.
Problem is that I turned 21 on October 13, 2006 right passed the time criterion for the Child Status Protection Act which technically makes me "aged-out" by about 2 months (filing date being DEC06), so I think that I am not be qualified as an immediate relative.
Currently, the visa availability date is at 15FEB06 which is getting close to DEC06.
Few months ago, I received a letter from NVC requesting DS-3032 and I-864 forms which I've filled out and sent to them but I regarded the fact that I live in the United States on an overstayed visa!!! I should have sent them a notice to adjust my status instead of paying the $70 and $400 fees that I already paid, apparently. I am not leaving the country to interview overseas with the NVC because that would put me in a 10 year ban obviously, I also do not understand how I can adjust my status with the USCIS once the priority date becomes current when I do not have a status as of now! So, I might've done all these for nothing. I've talked to some lawyers on the phone but they have completely shut my hopes down (maybe because I haven't paid them?). I do not have the money to pay for an expensive lawyer because all my funds can barely afford my college.
On top of everything, DREAM act just got rejected from the congress as I'm getting ready to graduate from college. I have no idea what to do.
With my college degree and knowledge that I have acquired over the years, I believe that I am an inevitable asset to this country but I am deeply saddened by the fact that American Dream is not becoming a reality for me. I know I can do more for the world but I'm immobilized by the system which I don't see any loopholes to at this point. I understand the views of the Republicans but I really wish that they can give one more look at the DREAM act. We do not intentionally break the law. I would actually be a law-abiding and a model citizen if I ever become one.
Anyhow, I lost all my hopes and dream in this country at this point in time, that I think the only/best way is to move back to where I am from immediately upon graduation.
If there is any hope, your help/advice/inputs will be greatly appreciated!
Hope is only with "Audacity of HOPE". We are all with you in this journey towards GC. Good luck to all.

Hi All,
My company applied 485 and h1b. I am in AOS status and having EAD. My company laid off me on March and they are not revoke my h1b and 140(they may hire me back once get new job). Mean time shall i work hourly job and get around $1200 per month with same job description with using my EAD(new company will run payroll and W2). Also i am keep looking permanent full time job with my higher salary.
For the hourly job they asking to fill I-9(employment eligibility verification will inform USCIS). On that form asking my A# with EAD expiration date.
Is there a chance USCIS will know my hourly job?. My concern - this hourly job will create a problem for my GC process (chance to get REF) because rate is low
Please give me your valuable suggestion
Thanks
Sorry for your situition and I wish you good luck in finding job. It is hard to survice and maintain legal status in current economy. Are you really without job since mar09 ?. My understanding on this is : for the primary-AOS big salary cut or raise can become a issue later.
Guys, please, throw some light if there is any time limit for primary-AOS to get a job to stay in status?

Friends,
I'm in a position where I have to file for I-140 again. In short, my company was purchased and I had to refile I-140 under the new company's name. Since the new company does not pay for Premium processing, I'll have to shell out the Premium processing fee from my pocket.
I need your honest opinion as to whether I must file with premium or regular? My PD: is June 2007.
I appreciate all your comments!
