I like this, Freddy. There's always a warm feeling of life in an open air market. Where is this located?

The immigration voice news desk (the toolbar for immigration related news on homepage is back).
So we can have all the updates from across the country related to immigration here. This toolbar, as many of you may know, is based on news items from google news that have matching keywords.
Very soon we will be adding the tab "Presidential elections and immigration" so that we get the latest on that front too.
The rally picture of Washington DC rally on Sept 18 has been moved to "additional news items and archives" page

They can pay you in anything they like for immigration purposes. US immigration doesn't care what you get paid when you're outside the US.

Folks,
We received letter from USCIS NSC saying that our AP (incl. my spouse) were approved on 10/15/08. On 11/17/08 we received RFE on my spouse AP application for photos. My wife had already left for India (11/15/08) assuming that our AP was approved. Anyways.
My question - If NSC approves her AP application (again), which date will she have on her approved AP application (i.e will the date be still 10/15/08 OR after the RFE response for photos). Photos were received at the NSC on 11/26/08.
Is anyone in the same situation. Your input is much appreciated.
Thanks.

I am on L1B visa from Apr 2008. I have my PERM and I140 approved.
I got a email from my attorney stating that they want to file my H1B petition this year so that they can keep on renewing my H1b as long as my company wants.
Suppose they file H1B COS petition then my status will automatically change on Oct 1 2010.
I am planning a vacation to India in November 2010, what are the options with me when come back to US.
- Do i have to stamp the H1B visa OR
- I can still come back on my existing L1B visa ???
Please suggest
Thanks

This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.

Hi,
I just found this forum and it is really nice place to get some practical information from people gone through all this. I will be applying for Adjustment of Status as I am getting married to a US citizen and I am not. The only thing that I cannot figure out for now is:
Do I have to fill out I-130 and submit it along with the I-485? I am currently on H2B visa in the usa, never been out of status just extended my stay a couple of times. I have my I-94. Also my H2B will expire end of September. Do I have enough time by then to fill out my papers so I do not get out of status. I am getting married by the end of August.
Thank You!
