I have very simple questions, but having searched the web for 9 hours haven't found a definte answer. Any help is really really appreciated...
My L1A and I-94 expires on 12/31/2009. Same is true for my wife and child. my company has not yet filed for extension yet.
My GC application 140+485 concurrently under EB1 was filed recently, mailed on 10/30/2009.
Question
1. I do not need to travel outside USA at this point, can my company file for normal processing extension and wait for result even when my i-94 would have already expired. Trying to save the additional $1000(*3 potentially,) for premium processing.
2. Does my company really need to file L1 extension now, or can wait till march/April for 140 approval/denial/RFE and file based on situation then? Note i am not eligible for i-140 premium processing so have to wait for 3-4 months.
3. Our Driving Licenses(CA) expires on December 31st,2009. Is there a way to get that extended because even if i file L1A extension, i may not be able to get the approval notice by the end of year. So DMV would not extend it. Can i get some letter from somewhere or just ask for I-94 extension without petition extension, which might happen quickly.
4. My wife has an EAD and it expired on 5th Nov 2009, since she is not working at this point (and out of laziness), we did not file for extension. Is she out of status or back to L2 status? Do we need to apply for COS.
Please help me resolve simple question.

I also saw the Murthy Post just now.... AILA needs plaintiffs...
What happened to their own plaintiffs - even couple of days back they
said that they more than sufficent plaintiffs...
Are you guys filling up PLAINTOFF form ? The problem is that AILA /AILF
is a blackbox ... You can see that they are exchanging emails but cant read the content of email... ONLY FOR MEMBERS :mad:
Both

and

confirm that AILF needs more Plaintiffs !

I recently got my EB1 I-140 approved. Now my lawyer wants to apply for the I-485 but I am unemployed currently. What are my options in this case? Do I show I am self-employed and apply the I-485 or wait till I get a job.
Just as a background I already have a EB2 Employer based I-485 in process and therefore have the EAD and AP in hand. The EB2 I-485 was applied in 2007 so it is past the 180 days period.
Urgent help will be greatly appreciated.

You should join your state chapter through the IV forums. State Chapter volunteers should plan to contact local politicians and meet them face to face. Nothing is more powerful than visiting face to face and impressing upon politicians how important this issue is.
But again mailing is also a great idea. I have the following link for House Representatives who got elected recently:
http://asp.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/vote2006/NationalElectionResultsByStateCounty.aspx?sp=CA&oi=H&rti=G&&tf=l
USATODAY.com
You can look up their contact information at
http://www.house.gov/writerep/
Senate has always backed us. It is the house that has stonewalled us for last two years. So I tend to believe it is better to contact House Reps

Hi,
Does anybody know as to how long it takes to receive the H1B receipt # when its being processed in premium processing?

Hello everyone:
I got my first H1-b on May 2007 (receipt data April 28, 2007 and notice data May 10, 2007) with company A. I transferred the H1-b to company B and got approved on December 2007. Company A revoked the H1-b and but got REF for additional evidence.
Company A is supposed to receive the approval notice of the H1-b revocation. However, strangely, days ago, company A received the I-797A approval notice (receive data April 28, 2007 and notice data March 26, 2008) from USCIS, which has the same receipt number as the one approved on May, 2007 except that the notice date is changed to March 26, 2008.
I have a big concern that according to the rule of �last status count�, does the H1-b with company A will replace the H1-b with company B (I am currently working in company B with H1-b)? What is my status now? Can I keep the two H1-bs at the same time or I have to cancel the H1-b with company A again?
Thanks!

Even if your extension gets denied then your current H1 is still valid till Sep 2009 and you can work till then ..

IV is working to make politicians understand our EB relief issues.
The house blocked our EB reliefs for the past years, though there were so many good hearted politicians in both parties. What happended was that people like Lou Dobbs managed to convince certain "powerful" politicians to do nothing about CIR in the house.
I hope newly elected politicians do not get carried away by Lou and do resolve every issue that comes up to the fore.
Add my 2 cents, post office increased the postage to 39 cents long time back. ;)

Just wondering if anybody is giving up hopes of GC and switching from H1B to E3D (Dependent of Australian spouse) to take advantage of 2-yr renewable EADs...? How long does it take to get the initial EAD...Continue working without pay (or is there a workaround) while waiting for EAD?....any problems getting visa stamped with a 'yes' for past immigrant petition filed...
7yrs in this country...EB2 PD of 10/07 due to job changes..no 140 yet, no 485...6yrs in same job? no promotions? with 3yr extensions...frustration beyond words...E3D seems to a ray of hope but no idea of complications involved.
My cousin (unmarried) is on an E-3 visa. But if I remember correctly, an E-3 visa holder cannot have immigrant intent. So the "immigration petition filed" question might create trouble. You should consult a lawyer.

Hello,
So let's say my PD is current and my processing date is current as well. The USCIS starts looking at my 485. While they're working on it, the PD retrogresses. Would they drop my application since my PD is no longer current or would it still continue to be processed since I've crossed the PD-current hurdle previously?

I have recently filled the USCIS survey. But I am not satisfied with all the questions they have. I want to tell what we want to tell (not what they want to hear)
I have an idea to send USCIS director information about how they are doing ? (In terms of delays, consistency, customer service, implementation, transparency). This will not cost any dime to anybody and at the same time make an impact.
Step One:
One of us can first create a survey on survery monkey (detailed one..with complete description about various aspects of USCIS) . I have created a Draft of the questions which can go in the survey. You can add more (Please do not delete the existing ones).
The real survey can contain scale of measurement (1 to 10) and also descriptive comments. I can keep the draft open for 10 days before creating/publishing the real survey so that everybody can contribute to creating it. Here is the link to the draft (feel free to add more questions which are to the point and can make an impact)
USCIS Survey (Draft) - Google Docs (http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0ATAcM7NSTN8WZGQ0dmtjbW1fMTYxNTgyMjdwaGM&hl=en)
Step Two:
Open/Publish the survery to Immigration Voice users and all other customers of USCIS(Advertise this on the other websites too). We can keep it open for 10 days to get everybody's participation.
Step Three.
Get the results and and send the results to the USCIS director(These will contain ratings of where USCIS stands and suggestions for improvements). We can also send them to the President. This has to be a collaborative effort and will only cost .44 cents stamp(not .44 cents each but .44cents only)
I do not think they measure themselves at all (right now whatever they do is right).
I think this is nice gift to USCIS which they need desperatly. Also it could be an eye opener.
Any suggestions to this would be welcome.

Please..request that only those with personal experience with this respond. I have to decide in the next hour or so and have lawyer opinions already.
Has anyone gone through this?
My H1 is pending 221g admin process (Pink. possibly because I have a Phd in biology) I can't wait much longer as I may risk losing my job. Can I travel on my valid AP? I am not concerned about keeping my H1 status etc. My only concern is at port of entry. Lawyers have told me it is ok, but I would like to hear from people who have done this themselves.
