From immigration-law
The situation is particularly critical because of the USCIS decision not to accept the I-485 filings without the medical report. AILA demanded leniency but the USCIS reportely refused to accept such demand. Since medical report is "initial evidence" to I-485 filing, under the recent rule change, any I-485 filing with the medical report can be rejected or denied. Reports indicate that there are a huge backlog in scheduling medical examination in most of the areas in the country.
Does anyone face backlogs in getting medical examination? Please reply. Just Want to check the authenticity of this news?

Hi!
I was wondering what are the benefits of EAD to primary(H1B) applicant before 180 days, i understand that AC21 & it's benefits can be invoked after 180 days from receipt date.
But is there any benefit of having EAD if 180 days from 485 receipt date are not over ?
You can take a 2nd additional job if needed..
Not much benefit if your current job is well paying and going well... Even though I applied for EAD, I am not planning to use it.. But just in case.. You never know WWW in US...
And when you invoke AC21.. You must have EAD in hand...
NB: WWW = Work Women Weather...

Can anyone please reply.
Your wife can apply for SSN and can work on using EAD. This will not affect your status. You can still work on H1.

Currently my wife is on H4
I'm planning to file H1 for my wife (through another employer on April 1st, 2009). Regardless of the situation (H1B Cap lottery process or general process) if my wife's H1B petition is accepted, processed and approved (generally betwen April 15th 2009 and May 31st 2009), she will get work permit (with start date of Oct 1st, 2009) by May or mid June, 2009.
My company is also planning to file for my H1 Extension (along with H4 Extension) in April (cannot be filed it seems due to other cases) So, in this scenario if my H1 extension (along with my wife's H4 extension) is filed after April 1st 2009, then we will have an overlap situation (as USCIS will be receiving two petitions (one for H1 and one for H4) for my wife) in the same timeframe. How will USCIS deal with these scenarios?
As long as her H4 is approved before her H1 (if she gets through lottery and approval process), there won't be a problem (as H1 will be replacing her H4 to my understanding).
But if her H4 is approved after her H1B approval, then there is a risk that her H1B will be cancelled because of H4 approval.
Please let me know solution to this problem. Thanks in Advance

hi smuggymba,
As your H1 extension is in process you can continue working until you get the approval notice. One you get the approval notice u will have the new I-94 with it which you can attach to the current one in passport and later point u can go for visa stamping.
Take the advise of your attorney as well

Hello Gurus,
I am planning to apply for EAD and AP. Debating myself if I have to go with e-filing or paper based. Some one told me, paper based DOES NOTrequired biometrics where as E-filing DOES need biometrics? Could you please shed some light on this?
Thanks,
neeidd,
I had applied for my wife through paper and they did not ask for her fingerprints. I had applied for mine through efiling and they did ask for fingerprints. I was not in town on the day that they had asked me to be at the service center. So I requested a later date. Lo and behold one fine day I got my EAD approved without any fingerprints. Don't ask my how it was approved but that is the case.
Please enter the details of your Green Card application in your profile.

There is a story in the Oct 6 Wall Street Journal on high skilled immigration reform. If anyone has a subscription to that, pl. post for the benefit of members...
OpinionJournal's Political Diary
Who leaked the Foley emails and why?; industries seeking more high-skill immigrants pin their hopes on Congress's lame duck session; new film debunks the hypocrisy of anti-development greenies. (Click to Subscribe)
2:30 p.m. EDT
http://www.opinionjournal.com/
=======
Seperately, the Economist has a 15-page report on the "Global Hunt for Talent". It specifically highlights how restrictive immigration quotas for skilled workers are hurting US competitiveness and how other western nations are racheting up their efforts to lure skilled foreigners.
http://www.economist.com/surveys/displaystory.cfm?story_id=7961938
Here are some excerpts
Most governments are easing restrictions on the entry of skilled workers. Some are going further and offering incentives. Germany has made it easier for skilled workers to get visas. Britain has offered more work permits for skilled migrants. France has introduced a “scientist visa”. Many countries are making it easier for foreign students to stay on after graduating. Canada and Australia have not only tilted their long-established points systems further towards the skilled, they have also introduced more incentives. Australia and New Zealand have created a ladder leading from universities to the workforce and then to permanent residence.
Two economists, Fr�d�ric Docquier and Hillel Rapoport, estimate that average emigration rates worldwide are 0.9% for the low-skilled, 1.6% for the medium-skilled and 5.5% for the high-skilled. These rates have been accelerating far faster for the high-skilled group than for the rest. Skilled immigrants accounted for more than half of all admissions in Australia, Canada and New Zealand in 2001. The global war for talent is likely to intensify. Most developed countries are already struggling to find enough doctors and teachers, and are wondering how they will manage when the baby-boomer generation retires. Developing countries, for their part, realise that they will not be able to plug into the global knowledge economy unless they give their people the freedom to move around.

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?

If they'd only "fix" the Social Security Card to be more secure, I'm sure you'd reduce much of the illegal employment. the way the SS card is designed right now, anyone could print out as many of these on his home printer.

As far as I know, USCIS considers CP as abandonment of I485 app. I am not sure you will be able to convert back to I485 again. Also, I think you will lose all your AP/EAD benefits. Check with a lawyer tho.

Thanks for quick reply.
As of now, my friend is getting trained by local institutes in other IT realted field and searching for job. If things go well he might get a project in a month or so.
Q.Till he gets a project what risk does he have to his status?
Q.If he gets a project will everything be ok?
Pls advise
Thank you.
1. If he is in H1B and not getting salary its out of status.
2. As long as there is no investigation or in the GC process or next time stamping - if there is no RFE or the IO is not asking for the pay stub, W2 he is fine.
3. If they ask pay stub or tax statement while stamping or gc process he will be in trouble

Dear XXXXX:
Thank you for contacting me in support of recapturing unused
employment-based immigrant visas and imposing fees for
immigration services for intracompany transferees. I apologize for
the delay in my reply, but I appreciate hearing from you and I
welcome the opportunity to respond.
I agree that the U.S. government should recapture unused
employment-based immigrant visas and impose immigration service
fees for those visas. As you may know, the United States Senate
version of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, S. 1932, included a
provision that would recapture up to 30,000 H-1B visas that had not
been issued in prior years. Also, S. 1932 would impose an additional
$500 fee to obtain these recaptured visas. These provisions were not
included in the House-passed version of the Deficit Reduction Act of
2005, H.R. 4241. Unfortunately, the Conference Committee, which
was responsible for resolving the differences between the House and
Senate versions of the bill, did not include this provision in the
final
version of S. 1932. The final version of S. 1932 passed in the House
by a vote of 216-214 on February 1, 2006. President Bush signed this
bill into law on February 8, 2006.
Please be assured that I will keep our shared support for
recapturing unused employment-based visas and imposing fees for
immigration services for these visas very much in mind as Congress
considers immigration issues.
Thank you again for contacting me. As your Representative in
the United States Congress, it is a privilege and an honor to serve you
and to act as your voice in Washington. Please feel free to contact me
again with any other issue or matter that concerns you. You may also
want to visit my website at www.house.gov/rothman where you can
sign up for my e-newsletter and keep current with my latest
Congressional activities and policy statements.
