I did not know about cross chargeability! It might work very well in my case..
I am from India and I have my i-140 approved and waiting for my PD(Oct07) to become current to file for my I-485 under EB2.
My girlfriend who is from Portugal, is on a F1 visa.
So if we were to get married - I can change my 'chargeability' to Portugal instead?
Isnt the chargeability solely dependant on the nationality of the primary applicant?
22 CFR � 42.12 Rules of chargeability
(c) Exception for spouse. If necessary to prevent the separation of husband and wife, an immigrant spouse, including a spouse born in a dependent area, may be charged to a foreign state to which a spouse is chargeable if accompanying or following to join the spouse, in accordance with INA 202(b)(2).

I dont understand why everyone should open a thread for this one. Already hundreds of threads floating around with the same intent. Pull up one of these and add your sucess story in it. If we dont do it, then we will end up having 700K+ threads just for july fliers receipt notice.

Hi SK007,
Thanks for your reply. My employer will not give me a copy of my old approved I-140 so in this case how can I port ?? Don't I need a copy of old I-140 to port priority date to EB2 or can I still port on the basis of the receipt number. I do not have copy of receipt also, I jsut have the receipt number for old I-140.

I think my question is that :
Can one change the job immediately after receiving the GC? Somebody mentioned that
Its risky to quit your job the day after you get a GC. USCIS can revoke the GC saying you never intended to be remain employed at your LC advertised position. The burden is then on you to prove otherwise.Most attorneys advise staying put for a minimum of six months to be on the safe side
My question is, how USCIS would know if you change job after getting the GC?

most of us spent a lot last year on attorney fees, USCIS fees and medical examination fees.
wanted to check if any of this is tax deductible or not ? i read in 1040 form that certain attorney fees are deductible. however these expenses to me looks like personal expenses....
has anyone taken these decution in their tax forms....please share....
NO you can't deduct perosnal attorney expeses. I work for a large Tax Company and I have checked with our CPA's. You sure can deductible attorney expenes ONLY if they are business related, never personal expenses. If it was the case, people will start deducting their divorce attorney fees and etc...

What happened to all the donors this month? Under 15% donated so for in August.. In July there was a mad rush for all to get a DONOR status due to a RED HEADLINE and every body thought the green card is hidden there. Come August and all the DONORS are not to be seen anywhere.
I was a regular donor and was changed to Sr. Member as did not sign in for monthly contributions. Did many signed in for monthly contributions ONLY for ONE month?????
I think IV need to change it’s policy of donation on Issue Based instead of monthly contributions. I am and will be available to contribute for Issue Based instead of Monthly contributions and just to get a DONOR STATUSr.
Any thoughts as to how can we improve our donations??

If the total duration of unauthorized stay in the US is less than 180 days then you should not have any issues. Google for 180 days unauthorized presence and you will get some hits. Also, please consult a qualified attorney regarding this.
My total duration was more than 180 days. infact it was around 3+ years since as I mentioned I did not apply for AOS/GC up untill late last year.
I went out of status in 06.
Got married to US citizen in 07.
Stayed out of status until nov 2010, when I finally applied for GC.
Permanent GC got approved last month.
My attorney says that I should not have any issues when returning. I just dont know how much I can believe her.

Dear Members
I seek your expert advise on following situation as my lawayer is not much clear on the topic.
I am from India and filed through university my I-140 and I-485 Concurrently on August-22,2006 in EB-2 SCHEDULE A ( Categorey II) EXCEPTIONAL ABILITY which is still current for all countries including India.. I had not seen any activity on My I-140 yet and Now for EB-2 Premiumprocessing is available now.More over Schedule A is likely to retrogess some time in November,2006
In this regards I need your guidance on following points.
(1) Does the possible retrogession in November means they will retrogess from November-2006 onwards? or they may retrogess even before say March-2006 or any previous date.
(2) If they retrogess from say Nov-15 than does it means that since I applied on August-23, My I-485s ( me and my family) will continue to be processed?
(3) In the view of possible retrogession of Schedule A, do you think I should go for Premium processing or not? Does it will help in any way to avoid retrogession of I-485s
(4)Based on past experiences, Does the application for premium processing hurt in any way in terms of final decision ( not the speed but out come approval or denial)?
Your input will greatly help me in deciding about premium processing.
Thanks

Well, its come that time where I am frustrated and fed up with my job and ready for a change. I am however, feeling rather trapped by this process and lost as I don't even know where I am in it. Maybe someone can give me some advice.
I have filed everything through a lawyer, who I feel works more for my employer than for me as that is who pays the fees. My I-140 was filed i'm guessing around April/May of 2007. I recently asked if that was approved, but apparently that is privelaged information i'm not entitled to. My receipt for my I-485 is Sept 2007 and I am currently working off an EAD, my second one which I recieved this past September.
I NEED to change jobs. I can not, and will not, stay at a place that I am miserable at. I just have no clue how to go about it. I already have a lawyer, but as I said, I feel they work more for the employer than me, and so I am hesitant and mentioning a change of employers for fear that will get back to my current employer. Would it be wise to find my own lawyer? My I-485 has been pending for well over 180 days, but it appears the key to being able to use the AC 21 portibility is to have your I-140 approved, and how am I supposed to be SURE that is approved if my lawyer is not willing to share that information? If it is approved, I should be able to change employers with out any problem, correct?
As much as I want a change, I don't want to run the risk of hurting my green card chances. Thank you!
I can understand your frustration. There is no need to get upset. This is US of America. You can get the information that you want and its within your rights. You can (try) call USCIS customer center and ask for the receipt number of I-140....most of the time, they don't give out over the phone but if you are lucky you can get the information. However, this is not the prudent way to get the information.
You can file for form G-639 with USCIS. Its the Freedom of Information/Privacy Act Request. Go to the following web site and initiate the request:
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/g-639.pdf
I believe, it would take 2-3 months to process the request.
Also, go thru this link to get some more info on that:

I have slightly different situation. I have entered into US in Mar 2007 on H1B status at which time my I94 was stamped H1-B and dated until Sep, 09.
During July 2007 Fiasco, I was able to apply 485 and is pending. However, I never used EAD or left the country so far. When my I 94 expires in Sep, 09 should I exit and enter back using AP or since my AOS is pending, I can continue to stay after I 94 expiry.
Any words of advice will be appreciated..
Hi gc_buddy,
You essentially have two choices - get an H1B extension (for both travel and as a work permit); use AP for travel and H1B or EAD for work
From my discussions with colleagues and friends, lawyers recommend you switch over to AOS as soon as possible/practical - apparently is lesser hassle and "safer", although I am yet to see anything become easier just because I travel on AP.
You can use your AP (keep it renewed and uptodate) when your return from you next trip abroad - then you will find yourself wondering about the validity date on the I-94, like the rest of us following this thread! :)

Actualy since most likely Labor is not filed in NJ, if the payroll is processed from NJ...
there can be a problem of explaining why the labor is not filed in NJ. Most consulting firms dont file labor again and again ( I have a friend in PwC and he says PwC files for another labor if its outside drivable distance) when consultant moves form state to state for project like nomads.
The regulations clearly state that the H1B is location specific since a large part of the paperwork regarding the visa is about prevailing wages. Its pretty astounding that most consultants are not even aware what an LCA is although they travel from place to place like nomads. I think recent events clearly show that the law is serious about going after violations this time.

Already joined the state chapter.
Don't get me wrong. It's been observed that you always end up saying "Join the state chapter". Not sure if people really go with it anymore with the same old comment over and over again among the posts. Ofcourse if they want to join they will in anycase. Reminding them n number of times for each and every post may not fetch much I guess. Is this repeated comment fetching or loosing the impiortance. Personally I think, atleast it is making to loose importance.
It would be much nicer to have suggestions and discussions to the question than advise to join.
Anyways take it easy.

Can the MA state chapter get in touch with the governor and get his support/educate him on IV?
Thank you retropain for posting this information for everyone. Such information gives us an opportunity to identify people whom we can contact for awareness and support.
every member is an IV and we all represent IV. Instead of suggesting IV to do something it might be a better approch on the forums to do things we can do ourselves and encourage others to do that same. IV can pitch in whenever any support or advice is needed or there is something that involves a much larger effort. so I would urge everyone to send a brief note to The gov. thanking him and asking for further support and help in getting relief for legal immigrants. Let him know that there is a huge backlog and legal high skilled immigrants have to wait sevaral years and how it affects american competitiveness and immigrant's lives.

He was prominent in CIR, national leader and is from MA. Actual lawmakers are senators and congressmen whom we need to focus more. However governors do have clout in state and national politics and a favorable statement from them can be used as a voice of support when contacting state politicians.
