I wouldn't want Laloo to get his paws on my money. It is better in a Swiss account. :-)
Dude, I am sure a lot of that money in these accounts belongs to the same "Railbay Meeneester' you are talking about..

@kumar1: you probably are right about the Myths....
Hmmm ... I am worried now that my H1 stamping was a waste....
Let me ask you this : why did they even grant me the h1 approval i797 form? Even when they know that my 485 is pending?
Also at the Consulate they gave me a stamp, despite knowing that my GC process is ON.
All that tells me that USCIS and DOS allows this dual intent.
Any more thoughts from the Gurus?

Called USCIS and they are asking me to take an Infopass appointment.
Update1: Infopass appointment was not useful. They asked us to wait for the notification from MSC.
Sorry to hear about that ... try taking another infopass ... they should assist.
Like dhundhun said there must be a procedure for shuttling packets between offices
(When we did a infopass for EAD delay - we got a really good rep - but for a friend of mine the rep was less than helpful - for the exact same thing)

Guys pls stop taking useless info pass appointments. People like me who have not received EAD and may loose the job are not able to get infopass appointments because of all the people taking appt to know the 485 status. Pls understand......
We always get appointments with in less than 24 hrs in the local USCIS office(closest to Upstate New york). I don't think its a big deal here. I am not sure about other offices.
Again based on the urgency, one can always decide whether to take info pass or not. Appointment time frame is always same for everyone. Unless its urgent(relative to personal needs), one can always take an appointment with USCIS.

Can some one with good english skills prepare an email with heading like
'Please approve my status from legal to ILLEGAL.' include all points from rajesh_kamisetty and any other similar questions.
And everyone in this forum can send that out to every newspaper and every senator in this country. I believe this can open their eyes little bit.
Think guys. If there is decent letter I promise that I can stay whole night to send to all these guys.

This article is a great read in this situation:
If you are on your way to India for good, on a one-way ticket, never to come back because you couldnt get any more H1b extensions after 6th year was over and lost your H1 and didnt have EAD a la portability.
This article is a great way to convince yourself in that situation "What a bunch of SOUR GRAPES the American dream was and thank God I didnt get stuck in America but getting GC. Finally I am free to go back to India".
I guess everyone who visits this website and does not decide to participate or contribute should take a printout of this article and put it in their pocket for a little light reading on that final flight back to India. It will make it very much easy to enjoy India and forget the horrible horrible experience that 6+ years in America had to offer.
Good going.

Right now my parents in India are trying to seek help from local authority so as to say the ADM office - to get the certificate. I dont know how much this will work.........I will keep everyone posted.
Did you register the marriage in the first place (I am not sure if it is a requirement in India, although most people do register their marriage)? If you did, then you or your (or your wife's) parents should have a marriage certificate that you got at the time of your marriage.
Anyway, all you can do is to take the commonsense route:
(i) Try to get the marriage certificate. It should be easier to get marriage certificate than Birth certificate since it is a more recent event. Moreover, as far as I know marriage records are public records; anyone (and thus your parents) can get a copy of the record from the local municipality. It is probably the clerks who is asserting their *importance* at the crunch time by not giving you the certificate what they can find in 5-10 mins.
(ii) If you cannot get the certificate within the deadline, send whatever evidence you have; wedding photos/videos/invitations, affidavits from your and your wife's parents, etc.; and ask for additional time for getting the actual certificate. This ought to buy you a month or so.
A digressionary question: if you do not mind, could you kindly briefly state your qualifications (publications, citations, patents, grants, TPCs, etc.) and the list of evidence (e.g., how many letters and from whom) you supplied for your EB-1 application (I-140) [I am assuming that it is EB1-OR]? I will also be in that boat shortly...

Did your employer get a new LCA for the CA project when you changed projects? ... just one more thing to check before you send in the RFE response with new contract.

Thank you Krishna. The question really is whether my Labor/I-140 approvals as Indian citizen can be used to continue the GC (to file the I-485) after I change my citizenship. Would you know about that?
Or, if a new GC process is restarted with a new employer, can the old priority date be re-used in the new GC process after citizenship has changed?
Thanks.
1. Ans 1 - Yes, Labor/I-140 approvals as Indian citizen can be used to continue the GC. Like i said USCIS considers Country Of Birth of Foreign Nationals and not their Citizenship
2. Ans 2- Old PD can be used with new employer as long as 140 is approved and not revoked.
refer to below links
1.
Copy paste this link " .com/greencard/employmentbasedimmigration/i-140-premium-processing.html "
And " murthy.com/chatlogs/ch121905_P.html "
Chat User : How do I know whether my previous employer revoked my LC or not? I want to use my previous employer’s priority date if that is not revoked.
Attorney Murthy : A person is not allowed to use the earlier employer's LC priority date filing with a new LC case filed with a new employer unless the earlier I-140 had been approved with that earlier employer. If the I-140 petition had not been approved, then each time a person changes employers, a person will start with a new PD. The only exception was for 245(i) cases where the petition or application had to be approvable when filed, but that only applies to the ability to file the I-485 and not to carry over that PD for a new case.

You can file as many I-140's in any category (EB2/EB3/NIW) as long as you have a certified labor for a bona fide position with a matching education and company has ability to pay for those positions. These I-140's can come from one company or different ones it doesn't matter.
In your current situation:
1. Don't even think about doing anything with pending I-140 and AOS. There is a definite delay in I-140 approvals at both NSC/TSC so waiting is the best thing to do. As long as your qualification matches the LC description you will get your I-140 approved. If your I-140 is pending 30 days past the processing time and you haven't received an RFE, it might have been stuck in security check. Your lawyer needs to open a service request to find out what is going on.
2. For the labor that is expiring in Jan, go ahead and file an I-140 petition right now, there is nothing to worry about two I-140. If nothing else this petition can be used for 3 year H1B extension in case the first one gets stuck.
3. The second I-140 that you are filing can't be used for your pending AOS if your priority date is not current. Check the Pearson Interfiling memo ( from link below). If your priority dates are current and will remain current (EB2 ROW) file for an new AOS application when your second I-140 gets approved. If by this time your first I-140 is approved you can simply toss the second I-140 in the office shredder.

Thanks CanadianDream. Your words are encouraging. I will check with the lawyer. The reason we want to file another I-140 is just to safeguard the H-1B status. I am in my 5th year.
BTW, I have another question. Do they do security check for I-140 also? I never know this. I thought FBI check is only for I-485. My I-140 has been pending for 1.5 years so far. NO RFEs. Nothing. Every time my lawyer calls USCIS, they say it requires additional review and since no REFs are give, adjudication should be forthcoming.
Are there anything we can do to get the status on the security check? How long usually does it take?

My 485 was apporved in July 2010 and have not recieved the card yet. I have contacted with couple of Service Request for non-delivery of permanent cards. First reply from USCIS was that my case was waiting for finger printing information from my local USICS was backlogged for appointments. So, I have told to wait for 60 days for either FP notice or physical green card. After 60 days, I have called them and another service request was created and the reply was completely irrelavant as they says my address was updated for my query about non-delivery of GC.
Is there any other escalation request that I can made for deliveriy the GC or the FP notice? whenever I called the USICS are creating the SR and have to wait for answers like above.
I have recieved the 485 approval notices (for both of us) on July itself but waiting for cards now. Are anyone with the same boat ? Or Is the unusual case?
Thanks

Are we so idle that we are thinking about changing the name of IV? Don't we have something better to do like taking part in IV activities?
Well how about chaging our own names too so that americans can easily remember our names? I think that its a good idea too.
The suggestion for the name change was to identify us as "legal" tax paying individuals, and not for the ease of remembering the name.
However, I do agree that it may be too much of an effort, and would recomend that when communicating with lawmakes and other inviduals, we introduce ourselves as legal tax paying individuals that are trying to reunite families and children, and provide ourselves the freedom and the ability to further our careers by attempting to streamline the immigration process.

I Still think we have a good chance atleast all those with priority date before today.
The economy is not improving and I doubt if it will in next 4-5 years. Even though there is slight improvent the jobless claims went up
U.S. Initial Jobless Claims Rose by 15,000 to 576,000 (Update1) - Bloomberg.com (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aMhGnVzXaSfM)
No way nurses and EB1 would count more than 5-6k per year....
Even out of the 30-40k like I said before about 50% would be from india and china (mostley Eb3) with later priority dates which puts them behind us
Eb2 Filings have drasticaally gone down because of the USCIS rule
Even after giving away all spill over visas to EB2 india and china they will have a lot of visas pending and If USCIS has made the decision that no Visa will go wasted period then we definitely have a great chance
Again my assumption is based on the FACT that USCIS has a policy that all employment Visa numebrs must be used
Lets keep it simple. In the next 4 years there will be 140k * 4 = 560K visas and I would say out of that the only ones with priority before Eb3 india and China are
Eb1 ROW +india & china
EB2 ROW
EB2 India + china (very limited new cases)
and I don't think the above categories would count more than 150k which should leave a lot of pending visas for Eb3
Which would leave a lot of Visa numbers for Eb3 India/china and ROW
Only time would tell if you are right or wrong but I like your view. Shows a ray of hope in an otherwise bleak outlook of the future.
