EAD Paper mailed on 5/8 to Phoenix Lockbox.
Received on 5/10 as per the tracking number by Phoenix Lockbox.
No receipt notice or the cheques were not encashed. Called the National Service Center and was told to wait 30 days to get the receipt notice. :mad: is anyone in similar situation.
probably should've gone efile route mate. I efiled for my wife on May 17th and received confirmation on May 21st and was able to add the file number to my tracking portfolio the day after efiling.

78th day and counting....
I e-filed on May 22... FP done. No LUDs
One of the service reps was kind enough to send an expedite request on my behalf. No updates yet on that.
Planning to contact local congressman this week.
This is all so frustrating.. We were waiting for GC now wait for EAD too!! :mad:
My EAD is expiring on Sep 22... and to top all this, my DL is based on EAD.. so from Sep 22 I'll be sitting home doing nothing... :eek:

Many are porting to EB2 from EB3, Hope that clears some traffic @EB3. I hope USCIS will equally distribute the spill over in year or two with help of IV and lawfirms.
Its in 10s. Not even in 100s. And sadly, the DAMN drunk USCIS not taking this into consideration while setting a cut off dates for EB3 I. Either Visas get wasted or spilled over to other categories that are already in good shape, for ex EB 2 (Not specifically India).

I'll do the best as I can to spread the message.
Please stay in touch regularly and let us know if something needs to be done.
We really don't have that much time. The issues should start coming up next month. We have to work on contributions now.
Thanks.

Guys, Can we get some corporate funding on IV's effort. I agree that our contributions can also make a difference but if any big corporate decides to support our cause, don't you think it would make a very big difference, funding wise. Big companies like Mircrosoft, Oracle also do favor immigration reforms and I think they too are currently lobbying for the same. If somehow, we can also extract some contributions from them for the same cause that would really give great impetus to IV's efforts.

I think BPC and new case PERM is same, if it is same position then employer has to withdraw the first case as of DOL new FAQ, if it different position then shouldn't have to withdraw the case, possibly audited by the DOL as of above explained rule..... If the case is audited how long it usually take DOL to decide,
For 2nd Case should we file by mail, providing certain reason with the application?

Does anyone know which form to use?
Thanks

Logiclife, Looks like the statement that USCIS have to accpet the 485 applications all month on July inspite of availability of visa might not be true anymore. See below link
http://www.immigration.com/fromtheagency/usciseb36287.html
I'm really concerned now, as like many I've also shipped my paper work to the attorney, but have NO control on when they are going to file.
Anyway, we have to deal with all this.
That's bad...really really bad. We spend so much time and money on getting documents ready, medical records and all that. In the end, something like this happens and our bad luck continues to grow.

I have some questions with regards to my wife�s immigration status. She was previously on H-4 visa (valid till 2009) when I was with employer A. She then applied for an H-1 which started from October, 2007. She started working on a project from November. The project lasted for couple of months. During that time, I transferred my H1 to employer B. Since January, her company has no projects for her and she is not working. But they had been asking her to sign leave of absence and providing partial pay stubs (one week in a month) since then. Now she wants to transfer back to H-4 status and we are planning to file for a change of status from H-1 to H-4. My questions are:
1) Are pay stubs of current H-1 employment required while filing for change of status to H-4?
If yes, will it be OK if she just provide a partial month pay stub for last two months and rest of the days, we can show it as absence of leave due to some reasons? This is to avoid large amount of taxes which we have to pay in order to get the pay stubs. The employer is ready to provide other papers required to prove current employment with them. (Like offer letter and other stuff)
2) Can she go back to India without change of status and stamp her previous H-4 and come back to US on H-4? The problem I feel with this situation is that her H-4 was approved when I was working with employer A but currently I am working for employer B. So does that mean that she has to apply for a completely new H-4?
3) Can we go to any other country like Canada, Mexico, and Bahamas and get a new H-4 stamped for her? Or it has to be done from India? I will also get my H-1 stamped the same time.
4) What are the documents that will be required to file for COS using form I-539 and how long it usually takes to get approved?
5) Can she travel to India while her COS is still under process?
Do I need a lawyer for the above process? I have previously applied for her change of status from F-2 to H-4 by myself with no problems. If a lawyer is required, can some one please suggest some good contacts in DC area?
Sorry for too many questions but any replies to my queries will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

My interest in the house would be long term investment rather than quality of life.
I beg to differ. House is a BAD investment. Historically houses appreciate approximately at the rate of inflation+1 or 2 % points.(Forget bubble years). Plus the costs(maintenance and property taxes) related to house ownership makes it a really BAD investment. Imagine putting money in an account which gives 2% returns and has 2% maintenance charges!
House is a great place to live in. That is what should be in mind while buying a house.
Another point is that most people are unwilling to spend lot of money on rents to get the same QOL. There is emotional element there called (eventual) 'ownership' but that's only emotional. That I don't care about too much.
I agree. However if somebody thinks living in a bigger place brings a better quality of life, even then he/she does not need to buy at 3 times the cost of renting the same place. He can RENT. By buying you are bringing the quality of life down. At one time a place in my area which could be rent for appx 2000 dollars a month would take about 4000+ dollars to own with 30 year fixed. Reason? because rents reflect the buying power of the resident. Nobody gets a ARM for paying the rent!
If the trend indicates prices are falling this year, I guess people will wait for a year more but at some point people will go ahead, depending on the overall economy start buying because no one can really predict the bottom. At that point, it may even start going up allowing the economy to slowly get back on its feet.
Yes. I am convinced that if you wait another year or so, ratio of cost of ownership and cost of renting will come to some sane levels and that is when people should think of buying. I am planning the same.
