Anything you will take for your H1 stamping + documents to prove that she is your wife. Her H4 status depends on your H1 status, your relationship and your ability to support her.
Thanks for your reply, but she will go alone for stamping and we have applied I-485, ap,ead on july 2nd. so is there any problem for visa stampling if our I-485 is pending.

i am sorry..i couldnt follow todays proceedings..whn i cam to iv site in the evening..everyone says bill is dead
whn i went to immigration-law.com, they say the following
cud someone tell me which one is true??????????
We reported earlier the Senate Republican Members Agreement last night. Today, the Democratic Minority Leader and other Democractic leaders agreed to the proposal, turning the Republican agreement into the Bi-Partisan Agreement. This dramatic break-through opens a door to the possibility of passing the Senate version of Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill, S. 2454, as amended before this week is over and before the Congress goes into the recess next two weeks.
The development is accompanied by three other developments:
President released statement supporting the bi-partisan agreement;
Senate rejected the Democrat's motion to cloture for the Specter amendments to S.2454;
Senate also relected the Republican Kyl' motion for his amendments.
Now we see the light at the end of the tunnel!!
If you go toImmigration-law update time clearly says 3PM EST and IV postings are around 9.30PM EST ...so what have to be correct? the one which is posted at 3PM or 9.30 PM. You decide. Before asking same question in different place do some homework.

Hello IVans,
My employer did not pay for I485 expenses (USCIS fees, Lawyer expenses and Medical exam expenses). I paid all these expenses out of my pocket. Today one of my friends told me that these expenses could qualify as tax-deductible expenses. I have my doubts, but want to get you thoughts.
Thanks.

I have a question.
I am EB3 with priority date Oct. 2006. My qualification from India is 3 years (B.Com) plus 1 year of M.com (I didn't complete the 2nd year) plus Intermediate ICWA and Chartered Accountancy. I got here in the USA in December 1999 on H1B and always maintained the status. I completed CPA in 2002 in the USA.
I did some research to port to EB2 (based on Bachelors degree plus 5 years experience) but it seems that USCIS wants 4 years continuous degree to be considered for EB2.
Is that true? Is there anyone in my situation who has done this porting successfully?
Any help will be greatly appreciate.
Thank you,
I also have 3 years bachelors. My lawyer told me that EB2 cannot be approved with 3 years bachelors and even if we try we are taking risk of having USCIS dig approved Eb3 labor and I140.

Some clarifications needed here !
1.) Data entry is not done by adjudication officers (AO)
2.) Unless an AO is trained in a particular "production line"
(I-485, I-765 etc.) they cannot move them around
3.) Bear in mind AO's have the option to and do work from home too.
4.) The adjudication rate per past service center reports is
around 2 or3 cases per hour for I-485
The assumptions here are all the 50 guys are working only on EB cases no family and other cases, they are not doing any other data entry job like putting 450/ead/ap applications into system, they are not approving any of ead/ap cases. And they are working 8 hours daily. Looking at the general work environment around i bet the productive hrs in 8 hr work day is around 5/6 hrs. So keeping in mind these factors i feel the 80000 is okay number. They certainly need more staff. My 2 cents.

First thing, call one of the high powered attorneys discuss with them what options you have.
I think there is a recent court ruling that will favor you in fighting the USCIS decisions.
This is the first time we're (I'm) seeing such a denial notice related to the recent memo. So who ever thinks this is just a memo or USCIS reiterating existing rules. Rethink your stand. I'm sure more people will wake up soon.
Keep up the hope. Don't wait if possible try to apply for another new H1B.
Thanks for posting the denial notice. I feel your pain. Again don't lose your hope keep up the fight. If you hear any updates please do post them.

Thanks for the replies guys....
TXH1B,
The RFE as per my employer is about Vendor/Client Details and a latest paystub from the current job. Since I started working already and was getting paid, my employer generated a paystub and supplied the same.
I think you are in trouble. The USCIS asked for your previous employer's pay stub but you supplied the pay stub from current employer. There is a strong possibility for denial. Then your employment became unauthorized. So hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Chris,
My case was very similar in last November, I did call them many times...but same old answer. but in last month they told me they did not work on my case because my fiinger prints were expired. they expire every 15 months, and without valid FP , case even will not pass standard "filter" criteria, and they don't consider it "ready to approve"
Looks like you sent your 485 on Jul 2007, assume your first FP was done before Aug 2007? if yes, it's expired. By any chance, did you do your 2nd FP?
Just my 2 cents.!
Regards,
-N
Our cases are assigned to IO more that 60 days ago. No LUD's sofar.
Called VSC, One officer told me that they have thousands of cases pending. :confused:
Any one got GC recently and pending with IO more that 60 days ?
Appricaite comments and advice.

Bills Introduced
There have been two bills introduced which may help our cause and are surely of interest to readers of this Blog.
The first is a re-introduction of the SKIL Bill (S. 1083). The text of the bill has not yet been released to the public. It is expected that this will contain the same retrogression-elimination language that was contained in the 2006 version of the bill. The bill was introduced by Senator Cornyn and cosponsors include Senators Allard (R-CO), Bennett (R-UT), Hutchison (R-TX), and Lott (R-MS). As readers of this blog may be aware, Sen. Hutchison has long been a leader on Schedule A visa reform.
The second bill (S. 1092) seeks to immediately raise the H-1 quota, and was proposed directly as a result of last week�s immediately-reached H-1 visa cap. Sen. Hagel is the sponsor of this bill. The text of this bill is unavailable at this time as well.
Both bills shortly should be available on THOMAS.
UPDATE: As expected the 2007 version of the SKIL Bill contains favorable language.

It could be a GC. I'm guessing.. My friend also had got the same information today. He was BD national
Some keywords from his receipt# is
It says some package is mailed. Weclome .. Permanant residence etc
and ADIT processing etc.
Do you see these buzz words.
You may cheer up today and buy us a dinner. No buy the person who approved your case a dinner.
They flushed my application toilet. I need to go to India urgently, no AP no news.

04/18/2006: Bi-Specialization and Reshaping Service Centers Processing Times Report
The bi-specialization initiative that went into effect on April 1, 2006 is expected to bring about the changes in the Service Centers processing times report. The latest reports have already reported the following two changes in I-140 petition processing times report:
California Service Center ceased reporting I-140 processing times
Nebraska Service Center I-140 petition processing times have jumped remarkably since the April 10, 2006 report as follows:
04/10/2006 Report 04/15/2006 Report
EB-1A 10/01/2005 03/01/2006
EB-1B 11/12/2005 03/01/2006
EB-1C 12/17/2005 03/15/2006
EB-2 12/10/2005 12/15/2005
NIW 12/10/2005 03/15/2006
EB-3 10/16/2005 02/15/2006
EB-3EW 01/15/2006 03/15/2006
Schedule A 12/17/2005 02/01/2006
Texas Service Center I-140 petition processing times was already January 2006 in April 10, 2006 Report. It is likely that TSC I-140 processing times may also reveal some changes in the next report.
We will keep watching the development and effect of the bi-specialization program. The next review will focus on EB-485 processing patterns in these Service Centers. Please stay tuned to this web site.
Speedy processing times will help some of the recent PERM application filers whose H-1B approaches the six-year limit and who cannot apply for extension of 7th-year extension of H-1B for failure to prove 365 days pending labor certification before reaching H-1B six year limit. Since the PERM applications are nowadays adjudicated in about three months and I-140 petition adjudication takes between two months and three months, they will be able to apply for three-year increment H-1B extension if their visa numbers are retrogressed. Late starters of PERM applications should consider two options to extend their H-1B extension beyond six years while they wait for the visa numbers: One is overseas trips and recapture of H-1B times abroad. The second is prompt processing of I-140 petitions and filing of three-year increment H-1B extensions.

So are you guys saying that if this bill passes and it is signed by Bush it won't really help the EB3 group?
Shouldn't we see the priority date moving fast with the stuff below?:
For US Master and higher degrees;
For Medical specialty certification based on post doctoral training experience;
For STEM degrees who have been working in a related field during a 3 yr; period preceding their application for an immigrant visa;
Spouses and children of EB applicants;
