"Adjustment applications and ancillary benefits � The new application fee for an I-485 is a package fee that includes associated EAD and advance parole applications. Thus, if you file an I-485 with the fee listed above, while you will still need to submit applications for an EAD and advance parole, you will not need to pay a separate fee so long as your adjustment application is pending. However, if you filed your I-485 before this fee change, to apply for or renew your EAD or advance parole, you must file a new application with the new fee for those applications."
The new fee for I-485 is $1010 but you do not need to pay any additional fees for EAD/AP renewal for the duration of the application which is pretty good saving in my view if you are an indian with with a PD of say 2005 or later under current law.
For comparision purpose, the current fees structure would cost you $325 (for I-485 - one time fee) + $180 ( EAD - Yearly renewals) + $170 (AP - Yearly renewals).
After writing this email, I realised it could be a decent savings under the new system for ppl like me (India.. 2005 PD). I would have gone for it had the fees kicked in earlier than the current July 30th date. Oh well. I will rather file my I-485 and take the AC-21.

I thought he died because Bush wouldn't authorize embryonic stem cell research. Anyway he is an intergalactic illegal immigrant from Krypton.
technically he got birthright citizenship through the orphanage! but the double taxation was too much
"It’s refreshing to see an alien refugee tell the United States that it’s as important to him as any other country on Earth — which in turn is as important to Superman as any other planet in the multiverse."
Especially the zero tax countries...
Previously Superman never had to pay taxes, but now with the record defecit, he's being proactive with his portfolio

It seems as if the Big B has not given up on this issue just yet. He is making it a point to mention it atleast once each week, despite what other international developments are going on. I think he will be putting the full court press on the house republicans, it will be interesting to see whether he gets them to accept some compromise.
---------
Republican Congress("C") is in no mood to play ball with Bush.
In fact it is a three way fight, with Senate not passing the "Minimum wage/ Estate tax bill," Congress is in no mood to bargain with Senate either.
Let us think about our strategy for a Democrat controlled Congress in February 2007.

Hi,
I have one question. My I-140 is approved in Aug. 2006 and my I-485 applied in Aug 2007 and got my EAD and AP approved in Oct 2007 and renewed once in 2008. Currently I am with the employer through which I filed my green card.
My 6 years of H1b expired on oct 2006 and I took three year extension of H1b based on my pending green card process.
Now my 9th year of H1b is expiring in Oct. 2009.
1) If I take the H1b extenstion for three years(based on my pending I-485) and let say after one year, I start using my EAD with a new employer and my previous employer revokes my H1B....Will I be able to get back on H1B if my I-485 petition get denied for any reason.
All I am trying to see if anything happens to my I-485 petition, will I be able to go back on H1B from EAD.
2) I have been reading in the forums that USCIS is giving hard time for the H1B extenstions. Any experiences on this?
3) How much is the H1B renewal fees?

Short version: If GC is applied and it is close to 300 days only (and not mandatory 365), is it possible to get further H1B extensions after reaching maximum limit? If so, how?
I am in a unique situation. Here's my long story.
I have been on H1B since I landed in USA. My current H1B expires on 04/15/2012.
That would be close to 12 years on H1B. I know, very long.
After my first 6 years on H1B, I received further extensions based on my pending Green card application and approved I-140.
My most recent/current H1B extension was received with a different company, and I would like to stick with this one for a long time. The 3-year extension received in April 2009 was based on previous I-140.
The problem is, due to certain circumstances which are beyond my control, there is a possibility that the previous GC application and I-140 could be revoked. And this revocation could happen very soon.
Considering that I can get my further H1B extensions only with my current company's new green card application, I have very limited time now. Assuming the process gets completed only in the next 60-90 days, I will have only 300 days before my H1B expires.
I understand that to get H1B extension after maximum limit of 6 years ( in my case longer), the applied GC application should be older than 365 days.
Is there a legal way to extend my H1B next year under these circumstances? If so how?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
I am an F1 visa student and am marrying my sweetheart who is an American citizen. We are planning to pick up the marriage license tomorrow, in MA. I know one of the questions is "residence". Do I put my local residence (I've been here for about 6 years) or my foreign residence? I do not want to jeopardize my status.
Thanks
Need to put your local address. I am sure you filed taxes, and used US address as the permanent address. And BTW, when I got married in CA, that's what I did...
And congratulations...:)

Folks,
It is outrageous that NSC is not churning out any post April 2004 approvals for EB2-I. Is any one is taking any actions?
What can be done?
How do you know that NSC is not processing the post April 2004 EB-2 cases? any source like infopass or calling the customer service?

If you do get the F-1 visa, then you likely would not face any difficulty at the airport. However, F-1 visa requires non-immigration intent, which would be very difficult, if not impossible, for you to prove. Unfortunately, even J-1 visa requires you to prove non-immigration intent. So if you go outside USA, very likely you will not be able to get back. Therefore, I believe that traveling in your state is not advisable; you should stay put until your children's father is in a position to marry you. Then you can obtain the fiancee visa (K-1) and travel abroad.

Hi,
I am a US citizen and my mom has been coming to the US once every 3-4 years for the last 15 years on a visitor visa (around 5-6 times). Each time, we had no issue in extending her stay, but her extension got denied yesterday. While I could have applied for her GC, she really did not prefer to apply for a GC since she wanted to spend more time in India than here.
My questions are as follows:
1. I have not got the official letter yet (had email notification), but is there really anything we can do to appeal her extension denial. I think I pretty much sent everything I could possibly can - letter with reasons similar to earlier extensions, return ticket itinerary, affidavit of support, bank statements etc. Another reason we gave is that she cannot travel alone - and my brother is leaving to India in 2 months and she wants to go back with him. I dont know what else we can say to extend her stay.
2. My mom is around 75 years old, and we really don't want to explore the option of leaving within 10 days (she never visited my brother in the last 5 years and she is with him now for only the last 2 weeks after a cross-country flight and recuperating). What I would like to know is - how soon can she safely leave. I think my mom is pretty much done with the US - and doesnt care if she gets a 3 year ban. But - I would like to know if there is any issue if she leaves in 2-3 months (i.e. overstay by 2 months considering the date she got her denial). Will they know at the US airport where she leaves, that she overstayed and (possibly) detain her for questioning. I know there are some airports that require you to document that you left by using a thumb-print.
3. 6 months+ overstay = 3 year ban. < 6 months overstay = ? (is this at the discretion of the POE officer? Can he deny entry - which would be kind of the worst possible future situation, but would like to know so that we can take as much of an informed decision as possible.
4. Can I apply for her GC now to keep her stay legal? Again, even if I apply - she is GOING back to India in 2 months and I will likely need to withdraw her application later.
Any advice on her options is appreciated.
Thanks,
Krishna

Hi,
I will be sponsoring US visitor's visa for my parents. They will be going to Kolkata consulate for visa interview. I believe my parents need to carry my Birth Certificate along with other documents for the interview. Do they need to carry my original birth certificate or copy of my birth certifcate is fine.
Thanks
