I just found this link (http://immigrationvoice.blogspot.com/) where this topic is already covered. Mods, please remove my post (and maybe it would make sense to create threads specific to the USCIS/DOS mess up to - at the moment it does not look very organized to me and it is hard to find information. Maybe sub-threads with "law suit", "publicity" would channel comments better?)
--------------------------------------
I only read about an article in two online newspapers but believe this whole topic should get significantly more attention. I do not know if that is going to help to get this started but I sent an e-mail to our local TV stations and hope that some may be interested and even pick it up. Again, no idea if this is going to work but I assume that if they get more e-mails regarding the same topic, interest will come up....

Hi,
With having many international operating companies in the U.S. who all employ legal alliens who are going through the "greencard process" to become legal permanent residents, the Department of State (DOS) and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) have destroyed many plans, caused significant financial loss for applicants and very likely acted against the law. Here is an open letter from congresswoman Lofgren which explains the situation a little bit more detailed: http://lofgren.house.gov/PRArticle.aspx?NewsID=1808
I think this would be well worth a few minuted report - everybody is talking about the pain that the illegal immigrants go through but (without taking away anything from that), the pain of legal alliens having to deal with the willful behavior of USCIS and DOS is not much better.
If you would be interested in more information, I would be more than happy to help.
Best regards,

Kudos to Senator Chuck Schumer for raising the profile of a serious issue - discrimination against same-sex partners in US immigration law. Even as several states are enacting marriage equality laws and anti-discrimination laws are moving forward around the US (including here in my home town of Memphis), the antiquated Defense of Marriage Act prevents USCIS from treating these families fairly. The UAFA would be a huge step forward. The Senate will have its first hearing on the bill tomorrow. My friend Chuck Kuck, president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, has posted his written statement here. Thanks to reader...

You will have to open a service request (SR) with USCIS after 30 days have passed. Once you open a SR , usually service center will people will call and confirm about the current status and in about 45 days from SR open date they will try resolve the issue. If 45 days have passed, then you will have to take an infopass appointment figure out. Hope this helps!

Hello everyone,
It is extremely unfortunate but I have lost my green card. I can�t seem to find it anywhere. I know that it has not been stolen, just lost! I need to apply for a replacement green card ASAP. I need to submit some initial documents along with my I-90 form for it. I have been trying to search on the internet regarding it but I can�t seem to find a clear answer.
Long story short, could somebody please tell me what initial documents are there to submit along with my I-90 form? I have a copy of my original green card, but is there anything else required? Am I required to submit my photos along with my form?
I would highly appreciate if someone could reply to my queries ASAP.
Thank you very much in advance.

I have an approved I-140 with a priority date of April 2008 (EB2). Unfortunately, my husband's employer did not go through with the GC filing process as promised and his H1B runs out next summer. I had heard that there were cases in which an individual could apply for additional extension based on the spouse's approved I140. Is there any truth to that?

I moved from Company A to company B towards the end of my H1 6 th year with only a month and half left in my H1. Company B applied for my 140 and 140 was approved just on the day of my 6 year completion. H1 transfer was filed in parallel in normal processing. H1 transfer has got an RFE now a day after 140 was approved.
1. Will there be any problems in getting the H1 transfer based on the 140 approval with the new company? Please note that I do not have any days left in my original H1.
2. What will the duration of H1 if the transfer gets approved?
3. I am continuing to work based on 140 approval and pending h1 transfer. Please advice is it is ok.
Thanks,
Deepa

Please someone tell me whether Ac21 portability 180 days rule applies from the day USCIS receives the application or whether it starts from day you get I-485 Receipt #????
In our case USCIS recieved our application on July 2nd and we have not received receipt # yet. so 180 day clock starts ticking on July 2nd?

If that is the case, why don't you opt for 1 and not go for stamping? Indeed you don't need to if you are planning to use AP.

Thanks for reading this message. Since you are from mid-west, you are capable of taking your car and drive in the direction of DC. It will take anywhere from 9-15hours. But you will be able to do it.
If there was a possibility of USCIS handing a GC in person, you would have driven 50 hours. Can you not drive for 10hours for a cause that is affecting you, me and everyone around us?
Now make up your mind and drive and meet other mid-westerners in DC.
I know one mr Gan*** - who flew to Nebraska with a Substitute labor and i 140 petition on the last day before labor substitution was banned. Mr Gane** also filed for 485 after the fiasco and we had a drink together because he thought he did a marvellous job as he is just 2 months old in US and has just landed in a consulting job and already applied 140/485 during the fiasco.
But he is not willing to hop onto my car, lives 5 miles from my place in Queens, to go to DC.
This shows the poor attitude people have towards grassroots efforts.

With the recent implementation by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) allowing concurrent filing of Form I-360 Religious Worker Petition and Form I-485 Adjustment of Status Application, most applicants want to know what documents to submit with an adjustment of status (AOS) application.
Persons with a pending I-360 religious worker petition are now eligible to file an AOS application before September 9, 2009. The AOS application is used by persons who are in the United States to apply with USCIS to adjust to permanent resident status.
Along with the Adjustment of Status Application on Form I-485, one must remember to submit:
a copy of the I-360 receipt notice,
two passport style photos,
a copy of the applicant’s passport,
a copy of the applicant’s birth certificate (along with a certified English translation if the document is not in English), and
a medical examination report performed by a designated civil surgeon.
If an AOS applicant has ever been arrested then a court-certified copy of all arrest records and the final disposition of the case is required (excluding traffic tickets).
Individuals between the ages of 14-79 are also required to submit a Biographic Information Sheet on Form G-325A.
The most important thing to remember before sending the AOS application is the filing fee! Do NOT forget to submit a check or money order to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in the amount of $1010. No additional fee is required for Form I-765 Employment Authorization Application and for Advance Parole on Form I-131 if filing with an AOS application.
Call us at 214-999-9999 and we will be happy to answer your questions.

Hi all,
I got my first H1B after my MS in Nov 2002 to Oct 2005. I have renewed my H1B for the next 3 year period (Nov 2005 to Oct 2008) and I have the necessary forms from the USCIS. Now I need to get my passport restamped. I am considering Tijuana, Mexico as I have a friend in San Diego that I want to see. However, my I94 form in my passport says it expires in Nov 2005. Now my question is:
Can I go to Mexico for a restamp? What is the procedure/risk involved?
Thanks! Any help is appreciated.

My mother-in-law would like to get visitor visa.
How do I answer #37 of the DS-156?
The applicant's (my mother-in-law) son( my husband) is in the U.S. illegally. I am US cit. and my husband needs to report to visa interview within the next year. We have been post-poning due to medical issues. In the meanwhile we hope my mother-in-law can come here to visit her granddaughter.( I am unable to travel). #37 of the DS-156 asks if any body is in US. We should answer YES, because her son is here, BUT, what do we put for his status? Illegal? I read one article that stated to mark YES only if he has legal status. I do not want to put NO, immigration already knows he is here and we do not want to be dishonest.
Any ideas?

I have filed I-485 as derivative on my spouse case with his PD of EB3 Dec2005 as his I-140 was also approved in july 2007. I have AP/EAD through it, but have never used them.
I am currently on H1B and just got my I-140 approved through my employer in EB2. My priority is Feb 2005 which is much earlier than his EB3 Dec 2005. The approved I140 has the same Alien # that I received through my pending AOS case filed earlier in july 2007..
Do you recommend filing I-485 again based on August bulletin now that my PD is current.
How does processing date working in tandem with Priority Date.
What is your take on multiple I-485 filing.
Another option will be utilize consular processing with your approved I-140 especially with your current PD.
You may not need to file another I-485. If you applied through lawyer -- ask your lawyer to interfile your and your spouse's I-485 with your approved EB2 I-140. It will save you time and money.
