I got my I-140 (EB3) approved with the priority date of November-2004.
I applied another Labor (EB2) in Feb 2007. When applygin for I-140 for this labor, my lawyer forgot to use the approved I-140 for getting the old priority date (Nov 2004 priority). So, I got the I-140 approval for EB2 case with Feb 2007 Priority date.
Now, can the lawyer change the priority date on the I-140 (EB2) to Nov 2004 using the previous I-140.

How important is filing date when it comes to I-485 processing? Does USCIS process I-485s by Filing Date or by Priority Date? If it does so by Filing Date, and assuming that the dates stay current for a long time, does it mean that a person with a later PD can get his/her I-485 processed before a person with an earlier PD if the person with the earlier PD has a later FD?

My friend will come from India on H1B first time to Atlanta Air port this weekend. His H1B was approved for year 2008 and his stamping was done in early 2009. His H1B is from small desi consulting company. What kind of questions he may face? Any inputs will highly appreciated.
One of the most common questions for situation your friend is in is why he waited this long to come to the US after approval of H1B visa. Another question is to show proof of job availability. It is 2 years since a petition was applied for him and a year since he got his visa. Unless he has some very solid answers, there is a possibility that they might deny his entry.
If you say that another position has opened up for which he is coming, then the next question would be if a new LCA was applied for the new position, which would then open up a totally new ball game. I would suggest that you have your friend contact his company lawyer for suggetions, rather than listen to advice given by people here who have not been in such situations.

there are 2 scenarions in the situation:
1. if the petition was not selected through the lottery system , you lawyer must have got the entire package back alongwith the application fees. He would have recieved this package in May itself.
2. If the petition was selected through the lottery system, you lawyer must have recieved reciept notice stating that USCIS is processing the H1-B petition. If the petition was filed properly then your lawyer will recieve the approval before October (most of my friends have already recieved their H1-B approval notcies)
If the peition was selected..you can ask your lawyer for the reciept notice number and track the progress of the petition on the USCIS website.
Hope this helps.

If she will not be able to get F1, what will be her status in USA ?
If she has filed for I-485 then she will be in Adjustment status - allowing her to study, work on EAD and travel overseas on AP. If she hasn't applied for I-485 when her F1 is denied then she will have to come back on H4 - she can study but not work.

I am requesting some expert answers -
Recently had family-based AOS interview with the USCIS (my wife is a naturalized citizen). One question was asked by the officer - "Did I travel outside US after filing the AOS?" and my answer "Yes - to Canada for few days - by car".
I traveled to Canada on my company�s H1B.
The officer explained that once you file you Marriage based GC the only way you can travel is on Advance Parole. Travel on H1B is possible as long as the H1 and the AOS is of the same employer. In my case the AOS was family-based and the travel was on H1B. Such a travel may be considered to be abandonment of the Family based GC process.
The officer was extremely helpful in providing us information and said he needed more time to go through my case and decide on approval/denial of my case after consulting with other officers/supervisors (I130 looks good for approval) but there is a possibility (he said) that I may have to re-file the I-485 but there is a possibility that I may be approved.
He told he is waiting on some papers which is in some other State and that will take some time (not sure what papers was he talking about)
He also said that he will also look into my employer-based GC and see if he can approve that case if possible? Well, I am not sure about that as my priority date is SEP 2004 (EB3). This he said will save me some money of not re-filing and also instead of 2yr conditional GC (marrige is less than 2yrs) I will be able to get 10 yr GC. He took a copy of my I-140 receipt.
Now, I have a full-time offer from a company and not sure what to do? What if I use my Family-based EAD - that will invalidate my employer based pending AOS - correct? And what if my Family-based I485 gets denied due to abandonment while on the EAD - is the EAD still valid or is it valid only after re-filing the I485?
Any suggestions?

It has no effect on a future Citizenship application. Remember it is a payment against unemployment insurance which is paid by your previous employer/s.
As such it is not a burden on the state.
Does anyone know if claiming unemployment benefits after layoff have any possible impact on a future citizenship application?

I had renewed my passport from Chicago Consulate couple of years ago. Their website is not the greatest and the forms were also very confusing. I had created a thread in this forum seeking some help but no one had any idea about which form to use.
As I lived in Chicago area, I just walked in the consulate, filled out the form, gave them the money and my passport and got it back in 3 days.
This may have changed but if your original passport was issued / renewed 10 years ago then you will need to get a new passport but if it was issued 5 years ago then they will just renew it.
Hope this helps!

Don't read too much into it. Somebody might just be doing trivial mass updates (like moving your info from one database table to another ;)), and you will get a soft LUD.
Seriously, I had a hobby before I got my GC (I got approved last Saturday only). I have registered all my previous approved and expired h1b petitions into the case status online system. Some of them are as old as year 2002. I frequently get soft LUDs on them. One of my petition was approved it 2002. It expired in 2004. And yet, I still get soft LUD on this petition every 3 month or so. The last one was in the month of June this year.
So I really don't think there is much significance of a soft LUD.

Given the situation for 485 denial. AFAIK, You have an option of filing for H1B (not counted against quota) based on your B's labor approval and pending 140. Once you use the EAD, technically you don't have the H1B status to transfer or extend. Hence, it will require you to go to consulate (b/c approval will come without I94) to stamp, and start working for Company B after you return.

Mine shows this lightly under some conditions. It's not been a major problem for me, unlike what some overly vocal folks at another forum would like everyone to think, but I'll probably send it in to have it calibrated anyway.

Hi
I came US on h4 visa .One employer had filed for my h1b last year,and they said i got the approval.but the employer had no job for me as part of recession.So I am still on h4 .Will I loose my H1 approval.How long is the validity of h1b approval ?:confused:
You need to be careful here. If the H-1B was approved as a change of status (COS) last year, you may have automatically changed to H-1B status on the start date. If you did not work for the employer, you then violated H-1B status.
If the H-1B was not approved as a COS, you have stayed in H-4 status. The H-1B approval could be used to get a H-1B visa, however you would need a letter from the H-1B employer confirming that there was still a job for you. The consulate would probably need this since it has been a year since the H-1B was approved. Otherwise, the H-1B is valid until the expiration date, unless the employer revokes it with CIS.

3. Reach out: Send this message to atleast 5 people (and cc me) who are facing Green Card delays and have them talk to me directly.
I understand everyone can not go out and protest and meet Congressman/ woman/ Senators but I am certain that these 3 action items can be done very easily.

Generally attorneys charge a retainer fee. What that means is they are willing to represent you regarding any issues with a case. Some services are covered with retainer fee and they may charge additional fee based on any extra work. For Example AC21 Retainer fee is around 750/- where they submit a G28. Then for any RFE they generally charge in the range of 250$.
Thanks for the reply. I understand the retainer fee but I guess what bothers me is why the attorney wasn't up front about the situation or simply charge for a consult then going ahead with a retainer when we simply thought there was something more involve to do with my case at the time.
Its the way that the situation was manipulated to get us to retain this attorney for further use when at the time it wasn't needed that feels fraudulent.
Thanks again!
