If I am able to port my old EB3 PD to new I-140.
Do I have to file another I-485 or I can inform USCIS of new I-140?
My wife was not able to file her I-485 due to retro. How will this impact her I-485?
Thanks in advance.

I assume you have approved 140 and new job and passed 180 days.
To me you can join new guy from tomorrow itself and continue GC process. I am sure gurus have more ideas on this type of case.

Technically, when I applied for my last H1 extension, dates were retrogressed for me and I was not eligible then to apply for 485 (Note: I had an approved 140 in hand by then). But, in less than a month dates did become available and I was able to file for 485. All of this was during the June/July fun last year.
Now, my expectaction was that since I applied for H1 extension when dates were retrogressed, I would be granted 3 years. But, when my H1 extension approval finally arrived in October (dates were not retrogressed at that time), to my great disappointment I got only 1 year :( So, when USCIS is determining whether dates are retrogressed for us, are they looking at H1 Receipt date or approval to determine the 1 vs 3 years for the extension? Many people have stated in forums that USCIS "should" and "is" using receipt date. But, in my case it was not true. So, it does not matter what the law states OR RATHER what WE interpret the law as stating. What matters is only how USCIS interprets the law and the action they take based on that.
So, this year I have to go through the H1 extension all over again. Once again, dates are currently retrogressed. So, will I get 3 years this time or will they give me only 1 year because my 485 is pending? Who knows and who cares any more....it has become an annual ritual for me...every April/May time period prepare the H1 extension, pay the fees to USCIS and expect them to hibernate my application for months...oct...nov...dec...jan until USCIS decides to finally grant the extension. I have been going through this annual ritual since 2005!

Looks like there are three options that I have:
Option1: I file as a primary applicant with my wife as dependent
Pros - I have an earlier PD date
Con - I have a less stable job and I can't do a career transition which I want to do eventually in a year's time.
Option2: My wife files as primary applicant with me as dependent
Pro - She has a more stable job and I can do a career transition on EAD thru her application
Con - she has a later PD date
Option 3: We file seperately and when the time comes as the application is close to adjucation I add my wife (assuming I get it first)
Pro - Best of both - retain earlier PD, keep the option of switching to wife's EAD when needed
Con - Risk could be that my wife may be get left out of my application if not added on time.
Am I missing something in this analysis...will appreciate your opinion.
I am not sure I understand how you can switch primary applicant to secondary. Can you please explain further, what does it mean in my situation
(Myself: PD - 05/04, Approved 140, EB3, India
Spouse: PD - 03/05, pending 140, EB3, India)
Option 4: File AOS for 1st set and CP for another set.
Please check and verify details with your attorney/lawyer. This is NOT a legal advice.

I am in similar situation. Our 485 were denied by stating PD was not current when it was filed. But we filed during July fiasco.
Now it is almost 5 months and no update on our MTR :(
Lawyer said they filed MTR also went through AILA but no help.
What to do now? Should go for Infopass/Congressional inquiry?

one explanation is that they are signing up people for the AILF lawsuit....
They may just want to give them some important message... I think this is something internal and not applicable to general 485 filers.
if anybody is oh law firm client please clarify.

2 things
OK, even if they ask post Jan07/may07 applicants to refile under point system, they should and I hope they will:
1) Ask us for only the difference in fee and not the whole fee once again, because it will be unfair to people who have filed prev compared to new filers.
2) Give the advantage of the earlier priority date. For eg:- if you have filed in may 07 and are asked to refile in Sept 07 (when it becomes law) you will fill up the new forms, pay the difference of fee, and be given a PD of may 07.
I am saying this because I dont think a new law can wipe out the priority date of people who filed correctly under an existing law. This is all asuming that your application is filed properly and OK to be approved.

Everone please note the most recent i94 means the once that you got hwen u last entered the US and not the one from the 797 copy
Are you sure about this? My lawyer said that the most recent I-94 is the one that is valid. Of course, my wife and I have submitted all I-94s that we have held, so this isn't an issue for me, but I was surprised by your statement.
This is because when I entered the US, the I-94 had an expiry date of (let's say) 12/31/06. In Oct 06, my H-1B was renewed and the I-94 that came with 797 had an expiry date of (let's say) 10/30/07. In such a scenario, the USCIS expectation is that you tear out the old I-94 from your passport after it expires (12/31/06) and attach the new one. And this new I-94 will be your recent I-94. Makes sense, right?
Thanks,
Jayant

DREAM Act defeat reveals failed strategy (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/18/AR2010121803271.html)
Whenever Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez (D-Ill.) and other immigrant-rights advocates asked President Obama how a Democratic administration could preside over the greatest number of deportations in any two-year period in the nation's history, Obama's answer was always the same.
Deporting almost 800,000 illegal immigrants might antagonize some Democrats and Latino voters, Obama's skeptical supporters said the president told them, but stepped-up enforcement was the only way to buy credibility with Republicans and generate bipartisan support for an overhaul of the nation's immigration laws.
On Saturday, that strategy was in ruins after Senate Democrats could muster only 55 votes in support of the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, a measure that would have created a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children. Under Senate rules, Democrats needed 60 votes to overcome Republican opposition to the bill. The House of Representatives had passed the measure this month, 216 to 198.
The irony of the DREAM Act's failure is that it had strong bipartisan support at the start of the administration, and advocates thought it could generate momentum for more policy changes.
But as the country's mood shifted on illegal immigration, support among Republicans and some Democratic senators evaporated, with many decrying it as a backdoor amnesty for lawbreakers.
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), who led Republican opposition to the measure, said: "This is an amnesty bill because it provides every possible benefit, including citizenship, to those who are in the country illegally."
Virtually no one thinks an immigration overhaul is possible in the next two years, given the views of many members of the incoming Republican majority in the House.
Now many immigrant-rights supporters are second-guessing Obama's efforts to woo Republicans by ramping up deportations.
"It is a strategy which has borne no fruits whatsoever," Gutierrez said. "This administration has unilaterally led the march on enforcement, yet the other side has not given one modicum of compromise."
"If you really want to bring Republicans to the table," he added, "so long as they are getting everything they want, every piece of enforcement, why, why would they come to the table?"
At a recent press briefing, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano denied that the administration had increased deportations to bring Republicans to the bargaining table.
"I don't view it as a quid pro quo," Napolitano said. "We enforce the law because we took an oath to enforce the law."
But a senior administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak candidly, said that although there was no explicit quid pro quo, the administration had indeed hoped that tougher enforcement could create a new climate in which legislative compromise became easier.
"One of the arguments that gets trotted out regularly is that the government can't do its job," the official said. "We believe the government can do its job, and our work hopefully is evidence of that."
Being tough enough
Latino groups pushed hard for passage of the DREAM Act, mobilizing thousands of students to campaign for the measure across the nation. They went on hunger strikes, conducted prayer vigils, and organized holiday food drives and Thanksgiving dinners with citizens.
The DREAM Act would have given hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants brought to the United States before age 16 a chance to gain legal status if they have been in the country for five years, have graduated from high school, have no criminal record, and attend college or serve in the military for two years.
"I am not asking for just a vote for the DREAM Act today," said Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.), who tried, along with Gutierrez, Napolitano, Education Secretary Arne Duncan and others, to round up enough Republican votes for passage. "From some of my colleagues, I am asking for much more - I am asking for a vote of political courage."
But the Obama administration miscalculated conservative antipathy on the subject of immigration, said a senior Democratic Hill staffer, speaking on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk about the issue. Even as the administration stepped up deportations, conservatives charged Obama with being too soft on the country's estimated 11 million illegal immigrants.
"Short of marching these people naked over the border at the point of a bayonet, there is no such thing as being tough enough" for those who want to target illegal immigrants, the staffer said.
Immigrant-rights advocates think the issue will reverberate through the 2012 elections. Obama will have to persuade Latinos - who turned out for him in record numbers in key states in 2008 - to do so again, despite the lack of progress on legislative initiatives. For Obama to get into trouble, Hispanics don't have to switch sides on Election Day - they just have to stay home, Latino leaders said.
Republicans, meanwhile, have found that they can talk tough on immigration and still appeal to Latino voters by picking conservative Hispanic candidates. That produced three significant Republican victories this year: Marco Rubio captured a Senate seat in Florida, and Susana Martinez won a gubernatorial race in New Mexico, as did Brian Sandoval in Nevada. Rubio is being mentioned by some as a vice presidential pick.
Pain without gain
Ali Noorani, who heads the National Immigration Forum, an immigrant-rights group, said that Obama faces a dilemma going forward. Republicans would now cry foul if the administration eased up on deportations, he said. But Latinos are losing patience with a strategy that has led to pain without gain for their communities.
"The administration is in a pickle of epic proportions," Noorani said. "They are going to feel incredible pressure in the House to increase enforcement, and the record shows they will continue to increase enforcement of a broken immigration system. On the other hand, candidate Obama will need those same Latinos, Asians and other immigrant voters to come out for him in record numbers. How do they square that circle?"
The senior White House official said the administration has no plans to pull back on enforcement just because Republicans are unlikely to support a bipartisan overhaul of immigration laws in the next two years. "In the short term, there is not a lot of evidence [Republicans] will come forward, but our response is not going to be to dismantle immigration enforcement," the official said.

I think this is great news!
However, I don't get what happens for someone who applies only for AP (and not EAD). In my case, I already have H1 for work but to avoid any risk associated with H1 B stamping, I want to apply for AP. Will I get 2 year AP as well?
After the success of our July 2007 efforts, most of our members were able to file EAD and AP and get its benefits. However there were several problems faced due to EAD and AP being only for 1 year. Immigration voice worked hard after2007 to get 1 year EAD changed to a 2 Year EAD in 2008. After this success we have been pushing USCIS to issue a 2 year AP and if possible have a combined EAD AP document for 2 years. There have been several times USCIS has announced its intentions on moving forward with this idea. However this had been delayed all this while. We are happy that USCIS has finally made a public announcement for it. Immigrationvoice donors already know about this. But now we are making this information public.

USCIS to Issue Employment Authorization and Advance Parole Card for Adjustment of Status Applicants
Feb. 11, 2011
WASHINGTON�U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced that it is now issuing employment and travel authorization on a single card for certain applicants filing an Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Form I-485. This new card represents a significant improvement from the current practice of issuing paper Advance Parole documents.
The card looks similar to the current Employment Authorization Document (EAD) but will include text that reads, �Serves as I-512 Advance Parole.� A card with this text will serve as both an employment authorization and Advance Parole document. The new card is also more secure and more durable than the current paper Advance Parole document.
An applicant may receive this card when he or she files an Application for Employment Authorization, Form I-765, and an Application for Travel Document, Form I-131, concurrently with or after filing Form I-485. USCIS will continue to issue separate EAD and Advance Parole documents as warranted. Employers may accept the new card as a List A document when completing the Employment Eligibility Verification, Form I-9.
As with the current Advance Parole document, obtaining a combined Advance Parole and employment authorization card allows an applicant for adjustment of status to travel abroad and return to the U.S. without abandoning the pending adjustment application. Upon returning to the U.S., the individual who travels with the card must present the card to request parole through the port-of-entry. The decision to parole the individual is made at the port-of-entry. Individuals who have been unlawfully present in the U.S. and subsequently depart and seek re-entry through a grant of parole may be inadmissible and ineligible to adjust their status.
For more information about the EAD and Advance Parole card, see the related Questions and Answers. For more information on USCIS and its programs, visit USCIS Home Page (http://www.uscis.gov).

An applicant may receive this card when he or she files an Application for Employment Authorization, Form I-765, and an Application for Travel Document, Form I-131, concurrently with or after filing Form I-485. USCIS will continue to issue separate EAD and Advance Parole documents as warranted. Employers may accept the new card as a List A document when completing the Employment Eligibility Verification, Form I-9.
As with the current Advance Parole document, obtaining a combined Advance Parole and employment authorization card allows an applicant for adjustment of status to travel abroad and return to the U.S. without abandoning the pending adjustment application. Upon returning to the U.S., the individual who travels with the card must present the card to request parole through the port-of-entry. The decision to parole the individual is made at the port-of-entry. Individuals who have been unlawfully present in the U.S. and subsequently depart and seek re-entry through a grant of parole may be inadmissible and ineligible to adjust their status.
For more information about the EAD and Advance Parole card, see the related Questions and Answers. For more information on USCIS and its programs, visit USCIS Home Page (http://www.uscis.gov).

Let me know if i am assuming anything wrong?
It's not so clear to me. The new procedure does not make it mandatory to have FP done to obtain an EAD. So you could very well renew your EAD without having to provide FPs.
What the document says is that when filling 485 + EAD they will use the same set of FPs for all applications which is cool but doesn't guarantee that you will get an FP notice.
It only says that IF you get an FP notice it will apply to both EAD and I-485.

Guys....understand the frusteration......first hand!! I am sitting on two great offers and am delaying the decision to see how this pans out..........logically nobody should be screwed...but this has nothing to do with logic!! When it comes to votebank politics...all countries and all leaders are same...........so I would say try and explain to your future employers how this thing is crucial for you and your family..........people understand........

I filed for my 485/765/131/ under EB2 category for my Wife and self. It was received on Jul 2nd. I have not received the receipt nor have the checks been cashed. My wife is currently on H4 and I am on H1-B. The visa stamp on both our passports has expired. My wife held a H1-B for a brief time before reverting back to H4. I have always been on the same H1 ever since I had it.
We are planning to travel to India next month. I am not sure if we are going to recieve the advance parole before we travel (they are currently processing Mar 02 2007 I-131 in Nebraska). Is it ok for us to travel to India, get out passport stamped with the appropriate visa from a US consulate and return back on that? I have had some conflicting views from immigration officers I spoke to, both online and in person.
- One person said that if you have applied for 485 and advance parole, then you must have that advace parole with you when you come back. They will not let you in otherwise. He said I can try to expedite the process by trying to prove that there is an emergency.
Not true in the case of H1/H4. As long as you have valid visa stamps you should be allowed to come in. The only problem is while in port of entry most immigration officers are well versed with the rule, some may not, so the onus will be for you to explain the situation and probably they will check with their supervisor and then they will let you in. All other visa categories have use travel parole during adjustment status except dual intent visas
- Another person said that while the first person's opinion is true, it does not hold good for H1 and L1 visa holders. H4 visa holders however need the advance parole.
H4 is dual intent with respect to corresponding H1, so you don't need AP for H4 either.
- A third one said that while both of the above is true, I will still need the advace parole as I have applied for it. I would have been able to come back with my visa stamp had I not applied for my advance parole.
It is advisable to wait for your AP to be approved and have it with you but not use it or show it unless asked for in the Port of Entry. Another school of thought is to have it as a back up mechanism if you may. One more logical thought process is why "add confusion" while a travel related document is pending by leaving the country.
So many theories out there, the most underlying principle under which attorneys argue is "dual intent" visa types
- Last one, not an immigration officer but who knows my case very intimately, asked me not to worry at all. It is possible to get back either in advance parole or on a visa stamp as it is dual intent. Many people have done it before.
I agree with this statement, it is that all immigration officers in the point of entry may not be well versed with the one above. I seriously don't see a problem with your travel, but if you can wait, get it approved and have it with you in person, it is a little less stressful:)
Now, which one is true. Can anyone post back their opinion/experience?
Please advice.
Thanks.
Not an attorney and my advice/ opinion are not in anyway legal, just experience or lots of reading, thats all.
