Dear all,
I have a Q regarding the follow-to-join rule. Say one has filed I-140 and I-485 recently (concurrently filing). To use the follow-to-join rule, can the spouse file I-485 at any time after the primary applicant's I-140 is approved but before I-485 is approved? In that case, will the spouse's I-485 be approved around the same time as the primary applicant?
A related Q, will a Visa number be immediately available after one's I-140 is approved?
Thanks a lot!

All,
I' am a new member and I recently read about IV group on samachar.com with regards to the flower campaign. Congratulations to all of them who could file thier I-140's and I-485's. Special thanks to all those who were involved in getting this resolution.
This is my first post and I would like to know if we can all get together and request DOS for accomodating all the pending applicants with BEC's during the October's Visa bulletin.
I know it sounds ridiculous but if you put the numbers together...currently there are around 25000 applications pending with BEC's and by Aug 17th those numbers might come down to 22,000. I' am not sure what would USCIS or DOS would gain in holding these 22000 applications back. May be 50,000 with dependents.
The best solution would be to have PD's of April'2005 for all EB categories in the month of October'07. If IV group could lobby for all the remaining applicants at BEC's, then it would be ideal for every one. Justice to all aspiring legal immigrants.
All of us can then focus our energies on other issues like Visa numbers, capturing unused visas, not counting dependents in the visa quota etc.
I hope everyone (those who have already submitted I-140's and I-485's) can support us on this issue and this should be on top of all the priorities.
Please provide any suggestions you might have on this subject.

Dilemma

Hello -
I am in sort of big dilemma. My Background:
- Single (not married)
- Currently on H1-B valid until Dec 2011.
- PD July 2007. Company A
- I140 & AOS filed concurrently in Aug 2007. Approved I140 (June 2008) & AOS pending. EAD & AP since Dec 2007.
I am currently working (full-time) for company A who started my GC process since last 3+ yrs. And lately I am realizing that my growth opportunity in terms of salary (more importantly) & career is very limited & been looking out lately. To an extent that I feel so frustrated that it has started to affect my social behavior.
Recently, couple of other employers have shown interest in me which align completely with my future goals. But, the problem is the following:
- they dont do H1-B & willing to hire me on EAD. Hopefully, AC21 should not be a problem as the prospective job will be in the same area.
- I am currently single planning to get married in a year or so. I want my spouse to have an option to be my dependent ie H4.
So, I have following questions to experts here which will help me decide what option to take:
1) Shall I go ahead with new employer & start using EAD ?
2) My GC doesn't seem to get approved for another year or so. Is it worthwhile to keep the option of my spouse being on H4 open & get myself frustrated & spoil my career in current company?
3) Can I move to EAD -> H1-B later? Maybe once I move out of this company A & join company B on EAD either company B or some other company may be ready to file H1-B petition ? This is just to open up the option of my spouse get H4.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance...

Hi all,
If anyone knows TSC fax number, can you please share that with me. I am a July 2nd 485/ EAD/ AP filer and I didnot receive my AP yet. My H1 visa got expired and i need to goto India ASAP.
Thanks a lot
I am seeing a trend here, that AP approved but taking 3-4 weeks in being printed and mailed and the online status is not being updated.

You could try to reopen the case with Supporting evidence of ill health and age. This is a long shot, but a good attroney should be able to pose a compelling argument. Also, try to get an infopass appointment and talk to someone about your options.

hi all
I plan to probably file under the EB2 category soon- I know EB1 and EB2 can be filed separately, however can a EB2 regular and a EB2 with NIW application both be filed separately as well?
Need to know this asap, so would appreciate a reply, Thank You!

Yes but I was thinking, spouse and children are counted in family based visas and how exempting them will benefit EB visas. Correct me if I'm wrong. :confused:

Why not pick out one or two of your favorites (or perhaps instead, images that are technically fine but that you don't like and aren't sure why) and post them here? I'm sorry, but I certainly won't be taking the time to wade through a gallery of hundreds of images that look almost exactly the same, let alone writing critiques for each one (which is what I assume you were asking for, having posted your site in this particular forum).

I did it for my wife. If your spouse plans to use H1B even after 6 years of its expiry, then having her own I-140 will help to get 3 year extensions

Hi my friends,
First of all, have a Nice New Year !!!!
I have a Nikon D70, a 18-70mm and 180mm 2.8 Ai MF.
I�m thinking to buy this old len Nikkor AF 70-210mm, but i would like some tips and help about it.
I heard that the version D of it, 4-5.6D, is fastter than no-D version. Is it really true ?
And what about the version f/4. Is it better than 4-5.6 and D ? But i heard about it is less fast in focus than 4-5.6D too.
Who has this lens to tell me something ?
Which one is the best ?
There is a lot 4-5.6 non-D to sell here in Brasil, but D its a little more dificult and expensive.
This D, worth the extra money or the velocity of the focus from non-D its not so extraordinary.
Tks a lot.
Antonio

My attorney office replied back to My I485 query yesterday in the overnight post(today is the last day to respond). For the marriage proof, i attached the marriage certificate which has my incorrect date of birth. I attached the affidavit describing that there is the entry error in the marriage certificate and applied for the correction and as in process with "Registrar of Marriage" office in India. In the meantime, i received the corrected marriage certificate today with the scanned copy. My question is, Can i send my corrected marriage certificate document today to USCIS ? Will they accept with one day delay?

IF labor approves, do labor dept informs employer only or they also inform candidate?
is it up to employer only to inform the candidate?
thanks.
DOL wont inform the candidate.
It is totally the companies call to let you know or keep you in dark about approval/denial.

When i travelled using AP i had Just One copy and when IO asked for rest i said they are with the attorney.
The IO said i should carry all AP copies and can reuse the one which is stamped.

wooncherk-
The image quality at high ISO numbers is also a big concern to me as well. I have found it mentioned but not much other than that. I shoot a lot of low light level photos. While I love Olympus, I also have to be aware that Olympus will be introducing at least tw new dSLR's this year that could well eclipse the E-Volt and at the least force the E-Volt prices lower.
