Greetings everyone.
I ran into these forums few days ago and realized what I have been missing for the past few years :-). Anyway, my GC priority date is Nov 2005 under EB2 (India). I am very GC-illiterate in the sense that after actively tracking and monitoring it for a year or so after filing for labor, I kind of gave up on the fact that I was going to get GC anytime soon and moved on. Except for replying to lawyer's emails whenever I get them, I didn't really monitor anything else. Anyway, here is some additional information -
1) I applied along with everyone else in July 2007 for I-485 and got my EAD.
2) I went for VISA stamping in Hyderabad in Nov 2009 and got 221(g) (I had all the documents but you know how 221(g)s were given out at Hyd like M&Ms at that time) and upon lawyer's recommendation entered the country through AP.
3) A part of my company was recently acquired by a different very large MNC and I chose to remain in the other half which wasn't acquired and we chose to do business as (DBA) as a different company. Lawyer said she took care of it on the GC app - I am guessing she filed for AC-21.
4) I currently applied for a EAD (current one expires in couple of months) and AP.
Long story short, my app status currently shows, "post-decision activity" -->Does it mean they already took the decision? Is there a chance something could go wrong in the next few weeks? I called the lawyer's office yesterday and they said I should hear from them in the first week of August and if the app status doesn't change, they will open a SR on my behalf around Aug 10th...
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch!

Hi,
I am on H1b visa and it is expiring in sep 2009 in 2 months. I need some information incase i dont get a project in mean time. I already got RFE for the extension.
Is it better to convert to H4 visa? How much it costs? and how long it takes to convert? Also do we get any kinds of problems in converting to h4 visa?
Also if we converted to h4 visa, can we easily get f1 visa if we want to study later or can we go back to h1b from h4 visa.? what all things are required.
Please let me know.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi
my wife has got H1 this year and
she wants to transfer to H4 as she got Ead and she
wants to use EAD .and still we didnt get AP.she wants
to leave to india in jan she dont have stamp in her
passport
if we apply now for the conversion of H1 to H4 can
she leave to india now and can i send that approval
letter to india then she goes to stamping in india.
is it possible. please suggest me
She can stay as "Pending AOS" and work on EAD. If you are worried about
keeping H status also. You can keep ur H1 if your primary. If anything happens bad with your GC , she can go out and come back on H4. Just switch her to EAD , get a job.

Hello,
Last week i received RFE for my wife's father's name. The name on birth certificate is different from school leaving & other docs. I'm trying to get it corrected from Mumbai.
I beleive if i get a correct one matching with other docs, i should be ok.
Another issue, i have is i have rented an apartment under my name close to my work in the same state. All my docs have my home address, my question is will it affect my case if they find another address under my name?? I still have official address as my home everywhere...
Yes you need to make sure that all documents have consistency in names and dates. As far as your second question goes USCIS has space for just one address which should be your current address. So as long as you can prove that the address listed in CIS system is the most current address then you are fine. There is no law or no way to provide multiple address. Just make sure you can prove that address on file is your primary residence.

Is this August 16 receipt date or notice date? I dont remember when my lawyer sent my 140 to USCIS?

My wife is currently in the US and since my PD is current we need to file her I-485. We are trying to self file and would like to know what documents do we need to provide to prove that she successfully fullfilled her 2 year home residency requirement (HRR). She left the US in January 15, 2006 and came back on H4 in February 8, 2008.
The fact that she was granted H4 visa implies that she has fullfilled the 2 year HRR but our attorney said that she needs to prove that my wife did indeed fullfill this requirement.
Has anyone been in this position?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

I dont think they will be enlisted, this is a easy way to get citizenship, man how long have you been in the US ?, if in the program, the folks will be guinea pigs for pilot programs and what not, probably fighting or cleaning toilets in Iraq, but hey in the end you get citizenship.
I am sure many will join this program, and they should, if they prefer to be citizens, then they should be prepared to fight for the country.
Looks like an interesting option for those in health care if you speak Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, etc. to get US citizenship within a few months without going through the green card process mess...

Any idea on what the chances of being called for active army duty might be within the 6 year period you are enlisted?

imagine, if MF digital backs were say, $6999, how many would sell???
bloody thousands....
seems stupid to me to make them so expensive
Right now, they can't make them cheaper. Michael Reichmann (sp?) of the Luminous Landscape speculated that Leaf probably makes a dozen or so of their new Valeo 22 MF backs each month, compared to how many hundreds of thousands of dRebels Canon makes? IIRC, he estimated that the sensor alone (without any support electronics or other hardware) might cost $5000 per unit to make.
Don't be mistaken, I'd love to be able to afford one of those, too, but it will be quite a while before the prices come down significantly (and I doubt they'll ever get quite that low).
