Hello,
Can someone tell me about the final interview for the EB based GC process.
1) Does everyone get called for an interview or is it done on selected cases based on individual factors?
2) When is it generally done? Prior to approval of your 485 or prior to the issue of your visa(GC).
3) Why is it done and what kind of questions can one expect during the interview?
Thanks
Lasantha
A couple acquaintances have gone through the process. Some Australians were given a lot of grief when the person accused them of coming from Antigua or some little Island. It was obviously a typo on their part--they have obvious Aussie accents. He accused them and accused them. They didn't give and the officer gave up. Officer 0, immigrants 1.
Another woman was asked if she's planning on staging a terrorist attack. (She's French.) She said something like "If I was, would I tell you?" and then had to wait an extra year as the officer said they were done. Officer 1, immigrants 0
Remember spouses birth dates, etc.
So even if they ask idiot questions, and they probably will, don't make any jokes or anything. Be firm, formal, and polite. Behave as you wish they would.

It looks like it has been transferred to NSC. Probably because your AOS is filed there, but more likely because you're from a region administered by NSC. Could you please confirm if that's the case. 450+ days is just ridiculous, but hope this change is one in the right direction.
Hi Guys,
I filed my EB3 I-140 to TSC in June 2006 and it is still pending (yes..really more than 450 days and counting...) Then in July 2007, I filed my AOS with NSC. Today, I got an email from CRIS stating that
Application Type: I140 , IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER
Current Status: This case has been sent to another office for processing.
On September 4, 2007, we transferred this I140 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER to our LINCOLN, NE location for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action. Please follow any instructions on this notice. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you.
It is transferred to NSC because my AOS is filed with NSC? Have any one had this status change in the past? After this, how long did it tak to get your I-140 approved?
I am just curious because can I feel happy that atleast some progress? As you know, I am waiting for my I-140 for more than a year...

Hey m0r,
Yeah that is a great idea. I hope to have some Swift 3D V3 tutorials out soon that cover a lot of stuff such as movement. Maybe a Swift 3D Open Source section; I won't mind to have that placed on the site :)
Cheers!

I believe you have to be in the US when your 140 is applied. Same goes for 485. Check with your lawyer. Once 140 or 485 is applied, you can travel outside.
For 485 you do indeed need to be in the US (for yoiu adjust status, you need to be in some status in the US). However for I-140 you need not be in the US. Can you point to any law or any link on any forum that says you need to be present for filing the I-140?
The complete GC process can be done without ever entering the US (do LC, file I-140, then do Consular processing for the final stage)

Many people might have lost job because of last year rally. Here I heard one of company in Chicago area fired all the illegal immigrants in last year immeditely after rally. So this kind of things may not be necessarily positive.
If Illiegals can protest and can have large rallies across the nation then whats the problem with the legals? Why can't we put our point forward through these kind of peaceful but strong measures.:confused:

Hello experts,
Here is a situation of my friend .
1.He lost his and his wife's passport alongwith the receipt notices and FP notice.The current visa which has expired and I-94 is also lost.
2.The lost passport includes the old passport with old visa in it.
Can you please throw some light as to what are his options.
Thanks & Regards
Did he filed a police complaint? If not, ask him to file a police complaint and then apply for a duplicate passport with a copy of old passport along with the copy of police complaint.
After getting the duplicate passport, (if he goes to his respective embassy, I think he may be able to get the duplicate in a day) ask him to call USCIS and talk to immigration officer. He also may need to contact his attorney who will provide a plan to obtain duplicate copies.
Thanks

From the horse's mouth
"Adjustment applications and ancillary benefits � The new application fee for an I-485 is a package fee that includes associated EAD and advance parole applications. Thus, if you file an I-485 with the fee listed above, while you will still need to submit applications for an EAD and advance parole, you will not need to pay a separate fee so long as your adjustment application is pending. However, if you filed your I-485 before this fee change, to apply for or renew your EAD or advance parole, you must file a new application with the new fee for those applications."
The new fee for I-485 is $1010 but you do not need to pay any additional fees for EAD/AP renewal for the duration of the application which is pretty good saving in my view if you are an indian with with a PD of say 2005 or later under current law.
For comparision purpose, the current fees structure would cost you $325 (for I-485 - one time fee) + $180 ( EAD - Yearly renewals) + $170 (AP - Yearly renewals).
After writing this email, I realised it could be a decent savings under the new system for ppl like me (India.. 2005 PD). I would have gone for it had the fees kicked in earlier than the current July 30th date. Oh well. I will rather file my I-485 and take the AC-21.

That's a good sign for folks who wants to file green card next year and could not file this year becos of bad labor market
The most recent update from the USCIS is showing again a steady approval rate. The jump we saw in October was just due to a more current update of the approval, nit an increase in filing according to the USCIS. If this pace will continue we will see visas all through early 2010, but I may be wrong here...
Ao here is is the update from USCIS: As of November 6, 2009, approximately 54,700 H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) cap-subject petitions had been filed. USCIS has approved sufficient H1-B petitions for aliens with advanced degrees to meet the exemption of 20,000 from the fiscal year 2010 cap. Any H1-B petitions filed on behalf of an alien with an advanced degree will now count toward the general H1-B cap of 65,000. USCIS will continue to accept both cap-subject petitions and advanced degree petitions until a sufficient number of H-1B petitions have been received to reach the statutory limits, taking into account the fact that some of these petitions may be denied, revoked, or withdrawn.

The upside-down "V" shaped branches in the upper left corner are distracting, but could probably be cloned out with a bit of work in PS. The bright leaves in the upper right corner are also distracting, but a bit of burning in could probably make them stand out less. The water is blown out down at the bottom, but that's easy to excuse if you're using a P&S where you don't have much control over the exposure - or even a way to reliably gauge it until the image is on your computer monitor. Overall, the image has potential, and it shouldn't be too hard to fix most of the little issues I see with a bit of time in Photoshop. :)

Folks,
I was current starting Sept 1 and did not get my GC till Oct second week. However, during the first week of Oct., I wrote a detailed letter to Secy. Napolitano and also to the Ombudsman. I got my GC subsequently. Yesterday, someone from USCIS called me and said that he was calling in response to my letter to Secy. Napolitano. He congratulated me on my GC and asked me if everything had gone OK and if he could close my letter out. Just thought that this information might help someone who is stuck in the queue of being current, but not getting a GC. Please file 7001 form with Ombudsman and contact Secy Napolitano if you are in this situation.
COngrats - these things do work. Urs is not a difficult situation so it was handled easily. Basically visas were available and there was no reason to not give you a GC.
I read in other threads that people who make service enquiries are getting cryptic responses like "we cannot deny you but waiting for DHS ...." etc..
Such letters must be sent to Ombudsman and Secretary Napolitano so that they understand what goes on at a level below them

Hi,
I got a dream job offer and I have not yet applied for OPT. I have not graduated from school and that's why I applied for CPT.
I just want to know can I work on CPT till my OPT arrives? Also would it be of concern to my employer that I am working on CPT as long as I am eligible to work legally full time? Is that something I should intimate my employer about before joining?
I would appreciate if someone can reply really soon.
Thanks a lot.

My employer looked at DOL website and found the status is in-process.
Another question : when you say back to normal process, what do you mean ?
I found that the "Govt error appeal cases" are processed as current, standard appeal have a backlog of aug 2007. My employer said mine wouldn't fall under any of these two conditions. He is confident that the CO just will certify anytime soon. Is this the case ?
