We went to SanJose Charcote dr. last saturday. Our appointment was at 3pm. But we went at around 1PM as our daughter has a tutoring class between 2-4. They accepted and let us do at 1:15pm. It is cool and not much croud. There are around 10 FP machines and took about 15 min to finish. Our LUD changed next day on our 485 applications. But check the address one day before the appointment. As it shows 122 charcote dr. inside But outside you would see 5 digit numbers and you would easly miss. Also you will not see USCIS on outside board(it shows as some Application center).

Based on my experience, employer can't damage your GC process. H1 is like an offer. Its up to you to join that company or not. You can apply for multiple H1b's at the same time. So even if your employer cancel the H1 it should not affect you. But it may be worth confirming with a lawyer if you are worried.
Hope this helps.

Hello RamK:
Would you please share your exp here?
Were you able to invoke AC21?
Also, can I have my H1B extended after 6th year( 3 yr ext), based on 140 approved.

How did you know that your case was pre-adjudicated on Sept 18th 2008?
Is there anywhere that information is available? Thanks.
Our PD : Dec 22nd 2003, EB2 India. It was pre-adjudicated on Sept 18th 2008.
My petition was approved 4 months back, after calling 100 times USCIS.
In my wife's case we spoke with IO on Sept 4th.
Created Service Request on 5th Sept.
During September 2nd week spoke to IO, IO sent an email to IO who is looking at petition.
During September last week we got Service Request generic response "Wait 180 days" which I have seen 2 times in my case .
On Sept 29th sent 7001 form to Ombudsman. Ombudsman office might have received the application on or before 1st October.
October 2nd 2009 my wife's petition approved.
So if your case is genuine case problem. Don't waste your time calling Immigration officers. Send 7001 form to Ombudsman's office.

yes, you need passport size photograph (2x2 inch) for AP/EAD. when you file I-485, you will file EAD/AP and for that you need photographs. you need atleast 2 photographs for EAD and 2 photographs for AP. check the photograph specifications in EAD/AP form instructions or in USCIS website. USCIS is very specific about the photograph, I know couple of friends whose EAD applications are sent back when they did meet their specifications. so pay attention to their specifications.
check these websites for your reference inaddition to USCIS.gov:

Just curious! I think with the new job one can start EB2 Process and port the existing PD. right?
Yes. I consulted a famous laywer earlier this month on this issue. She mentioned to me that normally USCIS don't have any issues in porting even if your previous I-140 is revoked, but law allows them to not let you port the PD (only in the case if previous employer revokes I-140). Just to clarify though, previous employer's I-140 withdrawal does not effect your existing green card processing as long as I-140 was approved and 180 days have passed since filing of I-485.
I hope this helps.

yes , I 140 they will ask details about employer only
Hi Chapsi29,
Do not get panic, there is no hard and fast rule that they will ask for RFE in ur case. Say if they come up with RFE they will ask ur employer to support with financial status as 140 is employer based, some time they approve ur 140 with out any hassle, so best of luck. Keep ur fingures crossed.

Core team can send emails to members with date and time and phone number they should call on. That way it can be organized as well.

This is odd! California Service Center has stopped processing EB I-485s long time ago.
Why the heck would NSC process I-485 based on CSC time-line when the case is actually pending at NSC? This just doesn't make any sense.
I highly doubt if the IO (if that's what s/he was) really knows anything.

For a person holding a 10-year multiple entry B1/B2 visa, how long can they stay for each visit. Is it determined at the port of entry by the officer? or is there a standard like 30 days or something per visit? I know parents visiting can stay for max of 6 months. Can they travel across to canada and then reenter for another 6 months? Just curious.
Normally you can get upto 6 months. But stepping to Canada and reenter will not give you another 6 months.
Also, if they leave to home country and return within a short period (say a month or two) they will either be denied entry or given a very short entry (around a month).

Can you do that even if the earlier I-140 is from another employer?
I think the answer is Yes.
You may be able to do this by replacing the underlying 140 of your 485 application with the older one. It should be possible. Talk to a lawyer.

It is not easy to ask anything we like. Recapturing visa need bill in both house and senate. IV is working hard on many action items. Please start taking part in all action items asap.
Thanks for your support.
As part of Class action lawsuit can we ask for recapturing of all unused visa numbers? I believe the number is at least 300K, it covers the green cards for 2003, 2004 and 2005. 2006 can go with 2008 quota. So everyone will be happy.
I believe this is the provision we should fight for instead of CIRcus.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks
