The RFE was for biographic information of the passport (basically a photo identity matching the name). It appears that my lawyer may have missed sending separate copies of it for each application (485/765/131). Anyway I sent color copies of the passport pages as well as driver license. The status for the application changed to "Response to request for evidence received on 10/09/2007 and processing resumed".
As far as your FP notices, I have read that others have been able to get the notices after calling the Service Center customer service. You might want to consider that.

It wouldn't hurt your GC process or your status even if your employer revokes your approved I-140. If you are so worried then check this info from USCIS - http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/I140_AC21_8403.pdf
This will answer all your questions and take worries away.

Interesting situation. Technically you will be better off on H1 (since you have that approved for 3 years). I would do that if I were you.
Only issue I can think off is, f your husband (Iam assuming primary 485 applicant), would move over to EAD (after Sep-07), would that impact your H1 in any way(I don't think it should).
I'll let someone more knowledgable answer that

My parents are planning to go for a visa interview. What is difference between me inviting them to visit me versus they applying as tourists. I understand that if they apply as tourists they need to provide documents showing that they can support themselves.
Will coming as a tourist diminish the possibility of getting 10 year multiple entry visa. Any thoughts on this issue is much appreciated.

That's the job that I'm very much looking for!
I not really a master webmaster but I did some jobs in the recent past and they were satisfied. :)
I think it is great to have a product intro to your project. since it's dogs it should feature dogs. dogs look great over a white background I think with some text or paragraph on the left. If you will used flash add some dog sounds of different breeds.
That's about all I could think of. Hope it helps!

I am creating this post to benefit all.
Also this case is about my friend.
He shared all this information with me.
This is a Pittsburgh PA based case, YMMV.
My friend who has an approved labor/i140 and also a pending i485, received a news that his father was ill in India. He wanted to fly to India right away but his AP had expired. Here is what our Internal Immigration lawyer suggested him....
"You must go to the district office to screen and make a determination as to whether your situation is a qualifying emergency. They are responsible for accepting and processing the I-131 in emergency situations. Here is a link to the address and appointment procedure for the Pittsburgh office. https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.detail&office=PIT&OfficeLocator.office_type=LO&OfficeLocator.zipcode=15220 You should take a completed I-131, $305 filing fee, 2 passport photos, passport (and copy), I-94 copy and evidence of your father�s situation. Remember that you have to prove that this is a medical emergency."
So he took an Infopass appointment, which he got for the very next day! He then visited the Pittsburgh local office (which is normally not so busy) with a completed i-131, photos, fees, passport, copy of passport, i-94 and a FAX proof from India Doctors which explained his fathers situation.
An interview took place, where they asked expected questions and then an Internal Director approved. He was told to wait for 1 hour and he was handed 2 copies of temporary Advance Parole which is valid for 4 months.
I myself was wondering if one can get emergency advance parole and this example shows that if you show all the proof and go to a local office they will help you as much as possible and also give you an AP within 1-2 hours.
(The only bad thing is, my friend will have to spend $305 again for an approval which lasts for 1 or 2 years)
Hope this helps you all.

H1B Visa Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently updated their list of Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) approved schools (http://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/ApprovedSchools.pdf) .
The schools listed have all been certified to participate in the program. The program allows foreign students interested in obtaining an education in the United States to complete a visa petition, pay the required fee, and attend a U.S. College or University. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) created a web based system called the Student Exchange Visitor System (SEVIS) which maintains information on the foreign students accepted into the program. The SEVIS monitors the students for the duration of their approved stay, as required by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRAIRA) of 1996.
Interested Foreign students: There is a process in obtaining a student visa, but it is not a difficult one. The student must first obtain Form I-20 from the U.S. College or University from which he/she intends to enroll, pay the required visa fee (Form I-901) and contact a local U.S. Consulate/Embassy to schedule an interview. At the interview, the student must have Form I-20, proof of payment of Form I-901, financial support documentation, and a completed visa application. The SEVP procedures differ among U.S. Consulates/Embassies; contact your U.S. Consulate/Embassy NOW to determine its particular procedure on applying for a visa before planning for the interview.
Interested Schools: There is a separate process to obtain F & M Certification. Authorized school officials must obtain and complete Form I-17. An overview of the SEVP Certification process can be found on the ICE website . If approved, the school will be certified and allowed to issue Form I-20 to qualifying foreign students.
If you need assistance or an explanation of the SEVP/SEVIS (http://www.ice.gov/sevis/), please contact our office (http://www.mvplg.com/contact.htm) to schedule a consultation.

Hi Friends,
I work for Company A from the year 2003 on H1-B Visa and here is my details
Priority Date : Aug 2004 (EB3-I)
I-140 Approved date : Jan 2007
I-485 Filed date : July 2007
Currently using : H1-B (8 th year running)
EAD & AP : I have both EAD & AP but not using it at this stage.
Now i got an offer from Company B but they can accept only EAD or GC with Good salary and position. I am really tired of getting low salary with company A as they started taking advantage of me.
Now if i use EAD card to move to company B (by using AC21) and once i get a green card (don't know when ??) do i have to come back to company A and work for one or two years as GC is for future employment ? Is there any rule like this ?
I am also planning to have my personal attorney after moving to Company B to take care of AC 21 and other communications.
I am not sure Company A will allow me to move at this stage and i cannot waste my life with this company for a low salary so i want to move and make some progress in my life.
Have any of you moved like this and got GC ? Will there be any issues ?
Please advise.

I have started a thread with similar message. Giving GCs to us means atleast another 10,000 home purchases = $3 billion. A few people here supported that idea, a few vehemently opposed and few was kind of neutral.
Worth pursuing in my opinion.
I am suggesting we should write to White House and to the Ben Bernanke in Mass and draw their attention towards a million people waiting for their green cards, logically they should have already got it(10 years waiting is illogical) but if USCIS use Visa recapture these people can get green cards and green cards to these people means a million new house buyers in the market new cars buyers etc etc. Everybody is going to get green card one day, why not now..That will help bail out the housing market. I'm sure it'll strike a cord with the lawmakers as it will benefit them politically....

Dear Lawyer,
I posted my story in "all other green card issues" I'm sorry I don't know how to link it.
I am married to a US citizen - married since 10/23/04 - we have lived in the US before where I obtained a conditional green card : given 01/17/06 expired 01/17/08. We left the US in may of 07 to live in denmark (my home country) and thought the conditional green card was "gone" when it expired and did not apply to remove conditions in time.
In 2009 we decided to return to the states - I came here 10/16/09 on a visa waiver. In december 09 we filed i130 and in march i485 thinking we had to start over on the process of getting a green card.
April 8th -10 we recieved a denial letter saying:
"A review of agency records indicates that the beneficiary has already aquired lawful permanent resident status on january 17 2006 through other means"
" therefore , the beneficiary is not eligible for the benefit sought and this additional petition is denied"
" This denial will have no adverse effect on the lawful permanent residence status that the beneficiary has previously aquired"
Attached to the letter is an appeal form.
So my query now is: since they already consider me a lawful permanent resident according to that letter - how do I go about getting my green card? and what happens to the i485 that they still have in initial review?
My husband and I are very confused about all this - we were told we had to reapply so we are puzzled about that denial letter. Customer service at uscis only reiterates the content of their website and we cannot get through to anyone that can shed any light on this. Infopass is not available in our area either, so I turned to this forum.
Than you so much for your time in considering this matter and for any information you might have for us.
Sincerely,
A danish citizen :-)

Hello,
Is PERM filed online only or it can be filed by snail mail as well ?
If is filed online, does the attorney get the receipt number immediately ?
If it is filed by snail mail, how long does it take for the attorney to get the receipt number ?
Your response is greatly appreciated.

My status on I-140 changed to "Request for Additional Evidence". Notice was sent only on 25th, so I don't have any more details yet.
Just wondering if anybody has any idea what it could be?
google around for RFEs... the three most common ones are:
- ability to pay -> this is for your employer to prove... if you are from a small company, or have been paid less than prevailing wage or LC wage, this might come up.
- education qualifications -> if your LC said the job requires 4 year BE in CS, and you have a 3 year BSc in Mathematics, this might come up
- experience letters -> if your LC said the job requires 5 years of experience, and you have not submitted detailed experience letters for those, you'll get this RFE.
Having said that, dont worry about it until you actually receive the RFE, it could be for a bunch of things, some serious, some completely trivial. If your LC required some minimum experience and you did not submit copies of your experience letter, you may want ot start contacting older employers, otherwise just wait till the RFE actually comes.

Thanks for the suggestions. I called in the National Service Center and put in a request to expedite the case. Got an email that I can try to visit the local ASC and see if they can collect the biometric. We visited the local ASC today and the were kind enough to collect the Biometric. I hope we get the AP before the departure date..

Hi ALL,
I'm a newbie in the forum and i need help from all regarding the below issue i have.
I'm a F1 student and presently working as a Software Engineer.I have been on OPT from January 2010 and i have recently got an extension for another 17 months which is a total of 29 months of OPT from January 2010 till June 2012, My main question was when do i need to apply for H1 and are there different types of H1?
What are the dates for applying for H1 and the start date for H1?
I will be done with my OPT by June 2012, so when should i start my H1 filling and is there any way that i can extend my status?
what are the ways of applying for H1?
Sorry if i have been asking the same question which has been answered before, if so please do not mind to direct me to that particular page
Thanks,
Rohit
