As per the last revised visa bulletin, the extension period for filling I-485 is Aug 17. But it talks about only I485 and not about I-140.
So can anyone confirm, if one can file I-140 and I-485 concurrently from Aug 1 to Aug 17.

Religion, politics and language. They are all controversial topics. !
one correction Religon is a private affair, Language too.
When Politics or Politricks drags these two for its benefit, it becaomes a big Frankenstein and it swallows everything.
Baan Politics.
(nothing against any language but the fact is below)
Yes, some of the comments are True. South Indians learn Hindi, and speak also, but not vice versa. the people in North don't even respect the other languages, From Andhra Pradesh, for the People in North every one is a Madraasi! And Bolly wood is not the lone Indian Cinema there is plenty of talent which is more than Bollywood, in India.
Apart from all these factors India is United.. Vande Mataram!
Another Note.
Sanskrit is the ancient and greatest language ever Human beings spoke. If everyone seriously learn Sanskrit there will be Peace in this world. All these languauges derived from this Language.

Hi,
Last time I paid $305 for renewing my AP. Do I again need to pay that much to renew or is the renewal free?
Thanks in advance!

Hi gps001,
I have same question. I filed I-485+AP+EAD in July fiasco, after one year renewed I-131 (paid the fee then). I remember from that time that I do not have to pay the fee again to renew it. But in the e-file form I am not seeing option to get the waiver. Now I am doubting whether 2nd renewal is free or not?
I believe you have to pay the fee again to renew. If you applied your AP after the new fee structure kicked in, then you don't. But most of the July fisaco filers have to pay the fee for renewal as the new fee kicked in after the fiasco.

Please check with your lawyer but as per my understanding, your wife needs to be in 'status' to be added as a dependent on the 485. She doesn't have to get on an H4 to be added as a dependent. Since she is on F1, she is already in 'status'.
Hello All:
It is great that the dates have become current and many of our friends here at IV can apply for 485. Congratualtions!!! to all that can apply.
I am in a dilemma and don�t know what to do:
My LC has been approved PR 02/10/05
My I-140 is pending.
I know I can file for 485 but my wife is on F1 � OPT and is working she has applied for a H1 and will get it because of Master�s quota but will not be effective till October, 2007. Can I file 485 now even though she is on F1?
I have two choices, either wait till October 2007 or cancel the H1 go to Mexico and get a H4 stamp for my wife and apply for 485. Please advise what I should do. Thanks!!!

Reading through this, this only says that the status cannot be changed (to a PR). It does not say that the prefiling of of AOS application cannot be done.
I think we should definitely try to work towards this. There was also an article on Immigration daily (http://www.ilw.com/articles/2009,0225-endelman.shtm) which suggests pre filing as a administrative fix that will solve a lot of problems.
I am definitely in for such a initiative.

(3) an immigrant visa is immediately available to him at the time his application is filed.
Explanation - At the time when the application (i.e. I-485) is filed by applicant, an immigrant visa is immediately available (i.e. PD is current).
If you still have doubt, talk to your attorney and post here what he/she told you.
Have a good day!

Thanks for your feedback. But processing a '05 labor cert before a '03 labor cert is injustice at the most ugliest form. No where, I mean no where in the world are people going to accept someone who came later in the queue to be allowed to have service before people who have been waiting for years together in the queue. Why would anyone do that and how is that justified? It is a mental worry and stress for the affected folks right now because we are still waiting with uncertainty. Why should we? Why????
So whatever happens in the future isn't the concern. There are no guarantees offered as you know with these processes. If it happens it happens and we will take it at that time.
The point is to bring to the attention of the proper authorities this injustice in the system and to make sure that we are guaranteed some form of relief/concessions. As you know the filing fees are going to increase and again there are no other guarantees.
Hello risker,
As I said your claim is a valid one. Having said that filing a lawsuit against the agency and getting a suitable verdict is very difficult.
Its seems you are new to this area (lawsuits) and I would recommend you to do some research on how many immigration complaints that were filed during the past 10yrs ended with the plaintiff winning.
Lawsuits in the US is all about money. Its not like getting an attorney and filing a complaint and then hope to win. This is why people always like to go for settlements since lawsuits can be thrown away even before a trial during summary judgement. Do you know what is the average fees for an attorney ?
And do you know how many attorneys you might need to make a strong case ? Do you have any idea of what kind of Judge might preside over your complaint ? Do you know what is discovery ? Do you know the onus is on you to show that USCIS has broken the law ? Its not enough to tell the court the USCIS has made a serious mistake. The court will not listen to that argument. You will have to proove to the court what is the law that the USCIS broke.
I am only telling this from experience as I know this game inside out.
Anyways I wish you all the best, who knows you might just win.

Guys pls lets keep these contorversial discussions out of here. Yes it is a valid point that H4s shud be allowed to work. However we cannot compare the US immigration system to the Australian one. They are 2 very different systems and the Blunt truth is, if you like the Australian system better go there :)
Let us keep the thoughts positive and constructive, instead of opening a can of worms like "racism" and "discrimination". These things are VERY hard to prove and may not even be realistic to go after.
What we Can do is, point out that L2's can work but H4's cant. In my opinion atleast, that is a fair comparision. Apples to Apples.
1) H1 and L1 can BOTH apply for GCs
2) H1 and L1 can BOTH work here in the US
3) H4's cannot work but L2's can.
This is a simpler argument coz L1's can come from any country and their spouses can still work.

Hi pd_recapturing, I am glad you understood my post clearly. I understand your point as well. Determining whether a company/employee is indulging in fraud or not is quite difficult if not impossible. I would suggest we start with reporting companies we know people work for and have negative experiences/comments about. It would mean reporting them based on anecdotal evidence but what else do we have as a starting point? I also know website reviews might not be very reliable since some disgruntled employee might post exaggerated comments about a company which might be following all the rules. But in general, we do know from colleagues/friends their experiences about employers who have sketchy credentials. Even TCS, Infosys indulge many times in L1 fraud as I have noticed. All I am asking for is better scrutiny by the USCIS at an earlier stage like PERM so such fraud applications can be removed.
I do not wish the genuine employees any ill will (certainly not) but I would like the fraud ones out of the system. Let's brainstorm more and we might have some success in cleaning out the queue of such frauds. Thanks for your insight.

Well. It certainly is a good news. Atleast for me. :) I would like to caution though that getting current does not necessarily mean getting approved. We have had cases from 2003/2004 PD members where they did not get approved for long time despite their date getting current.
