Good discussion thread..
I just wanted to let you all know that in the firm that I work ( a fortune 10 company) job postings clearly require " unrestricted authorization to work in USA without sponsorship".
I know that they have used this logic to screen out candidates who require sponsorship visas. EAD (for dependent) can be percieved as unrestricted work authorization for 1 year (or restricted because it ends in 1 year). EAD for primary applicant is restrictive on the applicant (because of the same/ similar job requirement)..

My point is not everyone wud then leave Vonage and move to another service , thats how Vonage wud gain, again are u sure u read the complete fine print :P
If they change the "contract" you agreed to initially - then you have every right to get out of the contract without any termination fees. It may take some arguing with the CS - but I know some people who have done this successfully with telephone companies like Verizone/Sprint etc when they changed some inconsequencial T&C.

The best thing to happen to immigration lawyers is H1 quota increase. That starts a whole chain of events that will generate revenue for them until the guy on H1 is citizen.
Getting people GC faster could only serve the revenue generated from filing I-485, but then retrogression does not eliminate it, it only delays it.
Lawyers hired by my company dont seem to care much about retrogression(they sure do pretend). they would work in the best interest of WHOEVER PAYS THEM.
In general however, they would love:
1. H1 quota increase(irrelevant to us).
2. Family immigration(irrelevant to us).
3. Faster EB GC(relevant to us but not a high priority for them).
I was relying on AILA all along thinking that they will work for themselves and in turn it will help us but it shows from 1932 that by joining Quota raise of H1, they torpedoed the whole thing.

Can anyone answer this question please?
In I-485, when we enter I-94 information, I am not sure which date to use in the valid field.
The date on my white EAD card expired already. I have a new I-797 which is valid until 2010. My guess is I should enter this date. Can any one please confirm?
Thanks a lot!

So cool down, you will get email soon.
If you are doubtful, call uscis one more time, and confirm that your case is approved.

I am copying into here a great document which I followed to the letter for filing my adjustment of status in May. It is prepared by a major state university who have dozens of people each year going through this process. Thought it might be helpful to some of you.
DOCUMENTATION FOR APPLICATION
BASED ON EMPLOYMENT
The primary applicant and all dependents must each file the following documents. All checks/money orders should be made payable to the �Department of Homeland Security� and stapled to the top left-hand corner of the Form I-485 (Application for Permanent Residence). Place documentation for each application in the order listed below.
1. Form I-485 (Application for Permanent Residence) and fee. Fee is $325 for each person aged 14 and over, $225 for each person under the age of 14. Check box (a) in Part 2 of the form. Form
I-485 Supplement A is not required unless you are illegally in the US.
2. Fingerprint fee ($70) for each applicant aged 14 to 79. USCIS will send notification of time and place for later fingerprinting. Fee may either be included with the check/money order for the Form I-485 or written as a separate check/money order.
3. Two color passport pictures (click here). Staple an envelope with photos to the lower left corner of the Form I-485.
4. Form G-325A (Biographic Information).
5. Sealed I-693 (Report of Medical Examination) and Supplement to I-693 completed by a certified USCIS Civil Surgeon. Children under 14 years of age do not need the x-ray or blood serology.

(I-20s, IAP-66/DS2019s, I-797s) and 2 year home residency waiver letter, if applicable.
7. Photocopies of I-94 (both sides), passport identification, passport validity/extension, and US visa pages.
8. Photocopy of Form I-797 Approval Notice, showing approval of I-140 Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers. If you are filing while the I-140 is pending, write CONCURRENT FILING on the cover sheet and mailing envelope. Be sure to attach a copy of the I-140 Receipt Notice.

12. Current employment letter for the primary applicant. Letter must certify continuation of permanent employment, starting salary, and duties.
13. If family members are applying, Form I-134 (Affidavit of Support) must be completed by primary applicant on behalf of any accompanying family members. Be sure to include documentation. Employment-based applicants do NOT file Form I-864.
14. If you or any family members are applying for work authorization, Form I-765 ($180 fee) must be completed. Download page 10 only. Staple an envelope with two additional photos to the lower left corner of the I-765. Mark (c)(9) in question #16.

Hi I called TSC yesterday, when i tried to inquire about is my case is pre approved or not, it seems the representative does not have any idea about it. and he just opened a service request and gave me a number.
Is this the way you guys get to know that your case is pre approved or not, or do i need to do some thing differently.

That is not an RFE. It's a welcome notice, which is expected.
Today I got one more email (See below) and my status changed from CPO to Decision. What does that mean? Did they send an RFE?
Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Your Case Status: Decision
On September 8, 2010, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before receiving your card, please call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

This is just a message to 2005/2006/2007 PD guys. Please don't think that some miracle will happen and dates will be current soon, it will take its own time. Mostly for EB2 & EB3June 2006- June 2007 guys, it will be like a lottery if the PD becomes current somewhere in 2007 Oct-Nov time. Right??
So life is not always easy. There are people waiting since 2002-03-04.
Don't think that life is not a FIFO always.
Why some of the guys became violent when I said, INDIA IS GREAT???
Guys.. do you know why I always feel like this???
As my parents,in laws and most of my relatives stay there. Not only mine, allmost all guys who are in the IV, they must have parents and relatives in India for sure. There is no other reason why I said India is great.
Someone asked me to pack up... YES, I will if nothing happens;however, I will be waiting to see the progress for sure. This is July. Let's have a look over OCT bulletin after 2 months and for sure dates will move atleast 4-6 months for EB2 guys and 1 year for EB3 guys. So wait, be patient, instead of doing all this.
Anyway, our turn will come sooner or later, so why to become impatient just seeing the JULY bulletin CURRENT and then "U".
Mainly this is the message for 2005-2006-2007 PD guys. Please don't take it otherwise.
Take it easy...PD means FIFO.
So...long story short, don't worry, you will get your GC prior to the "2005/2006/2007 PD guys".
I'm one of those guys, lol.

Pappu or any active IV Core members, we are waiting for your answer. How we can go on this?:confused:
Dont wait too long.. Just keep going.. No waiting..
Imagine you are waiting for a bus.. that would not come.. then what do you do.. keep walking towards your destination.. And if there are others who want to come along with you in your safar, then it makes it more pleasant and less painful.. You all have contributed with your ideas.. Spread them and keep going..
Now I am going home.. Will send this letter to other sources also.. i will get some more contact info tomorrow.. But Always write to change.gov. No president in the past has created such an option in the past to hear us.. Don't overlook it. I made small changes in my original letter. So in case anyone copied it before 5 min, you want to take the current one..

AP can be used to re-enter and you can continue on your H1 if it is valid. Your H1 is invalidated only if you use EAD.
I just came back to US using AP, I had booked an appointment for Visa interview. But after seeing the PIMS mess I decided to use AP. It was very smooth and easy.
A question though: is'nt it abandoning your H1B1 visa tenure if you enter on AP even with a valid H1B remaining?[/QUOTE]
