On an unrelated note, is there anything to gain from writing to congressmen and asking them to check on the case when it is current?
What do you state in the letter while requesting them to check with USCIS? I remember some folks did write to their congressmen last year around June/july when they were current.

After hearing your case details on the automated system..you will have to Press 3 and then you can do it yourself. Explain to the customer service rep that your case is outside of normal processing times..etc. Keep us posted what happened.

Would anyone be able to advise if I can travel out of the country after I've filed the 485 if I have an approved I-797 approval notice (for H-1B) but old H-1B stamp in pp has already expired?
If I travel out and then get the H-1B visa stamp at an outside consulate, I would be able to travel back in, but would I have considered have abandoned the 485 application? (since I travelled out without a valid H-1B stamp in pp)??
Can I travel out even before my AP arrives? Or does having an AP make a difference? I would prefer to stay on H-1B status since you never know what happens to the 140/485 application.
Thanks for the help guys.

Hi meghanap: Thanks for your useful info.
I am the primary applicant. Mine and kid's case is at TSC, but my spouse's case transferred to Detroit offcie , for the interview. We had the interview 4 months ago, and the DAO said that she would recommend my spouse's case for approval, however it has to wait until the approval of my app. My kid and I got the approval on Oct 22.
So, now do I have to take an infopass, and request for the yellow form to get approval on the case. Do we get approval from local USCIS office itself or will it come back to TSC? Do you know how long would it take for the approval to come. Or can I call Senator, Ombudsmand, ans start all those cr.. again.
Hi,
This info is for the cases who had the interview local USCIS offices where they live.
After interview ,pls take info pass for every 2 or 3 weeks and when you meet infopass officer, please fill up one yellow form (this form used to send any request to any other department who handled 485 cases.) to adjudicate your case.Make sure you give your i-485 copies and i-140 copies, You can write at least 5 or 6 sentences at the end of the yellow form to supervisor epalining when u r intervew is completed ,,u r PD is current etc etc.
The way it works like this :
The dept that takes care i-485 interviews is different from the dept infopass officers in local office.Even though they are in same office, the only way infopass officers can send request the 485 dept is using the yellow form..Pls request for it. Then most of the times info pass officer fils up the form and you will add any additional info at the end of the form. Then infopass officer will send the form to 485 dept supervisor.Supervisor will see the yellow form..if you are lucky he/she wil take action imediatly..otherwise go again after 2 weeks..Request the info pass officer twice or thrice..
This helped me...

I have a question regarding the I-693 Medical exam. it was mentioned that you will need to take a vaccine for MMR, Varicella, Tetanus and Hapatitis B. it was also mentioned that they will do a tb test and a blood test for HIV and syphilis. are these all the vaccinations and blood tests required or are there aother blood test required in addition to these??
please advise. Thanks
Below are the list that I have from my lawyer to prepare my I-485 :
1. for Evidence of status you need a Copy of Last Entry I-94
non immigrant arrival/departure record, showing your admission
to the US and current status. (Front and back, make sure the date is
clear to see)
2. To show that you are always in status while you are in US you will need
Copies of all immigration related documents from USCIS
(such as I-20, OPT, H1B, H4 approval notice, or other status)
3. Copy of Birth Certificate
(need translate & notarize if not in English)
4. Copy of Marriage Certificate if you are married
(need translate & notarize if not in English)
5. Copy of Passport pages with non immigrant visa
(including all passports you have used since the last entry you need to
copy all the stamp you had on the passport. Again this is to show the
last time your in you US and to make sure you are always in status)
6. I-693 (Medical Exam)
(You can dial 1-800-375-5283 to choose the physician list)
you will required to show a proof that you have take MMR, Varicella, Tetanus and hepatitis B
if you can't show any proof they will required you to take it on their office and it will cause you quite a lot money ( you can take
the vaccine earlier on your family/ regular dr. office and could get covered by you insurance) it could save you $300 per person.
the mandatory test you have to take at their office is tb test, blood test
for HIV and syphilis and regular phisical test. once you have all vaccine
and the mandatory test they should gave you the seal envelope to send to USCIS along with your other document and they will give you a copy as well.
7. If you apply for your family member you will need
I-134 (Affidavit of Support) stamp by Notary for each family member
8. Employment Verification Letter
Employement letter on the letter head of the petitioning employer
which confirms that the job on which visa petition is based is still
available to you. The letter must also state the salary that will be paid.
9 . Photos (2*2 color front-view passport photos)
*2 for each I-485, additional 2 for each I-131,
additional 2 for each I-765
10 Fee Payment made to USCIS (1 per applicant)
$325 for each I-485 filing fee
$70 for each Fingerprint fee
$170 for each I-131 filing fee (if apply for Advance Parole)
$180 for each I-765 filing fee (if apply for Employment Authorization) .
Hope this list is help for those who is ready preparing their document.
please advise. Thanks

Good idea kumar1, once this rollercoaster ride is over and settled.. we should start an anti-Lou Dobbs Youtube session. I will definately contribute in whatever way I can.. uploading videos, editing etc.
Lou Dobbs and CNN runs an hour long "Hate Immigrants" Program every night Monday to Friday. He repeatedly calls US immigration as a failed system, H1-B and L1...as cheap labor and stealing American jobs, he has big problem with China and China's developing economy, He blames foreigners for bad economic condition of California. He proudly uses the word "Illegal Alien". His program "Lou Dobbs Tonight" is nothing less that someone in Iran running a hate show against America. Lou Dobb always called CIR as "So Called Grand Amnesy"! Once this July visa bulletin fiasco settles down, we need to get together and attack this guy, every night so that he can stop his hate propoganda.

Interviewed: Jan 2 2008
VO said visa approved, will receive in 7 days
Jan 18: received a call from the consulate, said the petition number on the application is incorrect, and I need to resubmit the approval notice with fresh DS 156/157 at the Bangalore VFS drop box.
Has anyone else been through the same situation?
I checked a copy of the original DS-156/157, and there was no place to enter receipt number. The only place I could see was where the VFS pre-screening guys enter this number manually (first page DS 156 top right corner).
If this is due to their mistake, I will be very angry and will convey this to the consulate general.

Trend chart doesnt give you shit...its just an overall count
I am referring to the PDF report - which clearly mentions that the numbers are for pending Employment based 485 applications. And yet people refer to this report and ask stupid questions or over-analyze it...
It seems like you are smarter than others or may be you have more insight.
How come total pre-adjudicated in the chart is exactly equal to total I-485 in the pdf ?
What exactly total in chart tool means ?
You might be convinced that you are right but stating that others are asking stupid questions is little too far.

Grassley Works to Eliminate Fraud and Abuse from H-1B Visa Program
http://grassley.senate.gov/news/Article.cfm?customel_dataPageID_1502=20327
Consulting comapnies will get the major hit due to the below clause:
* Prohibit the blatantly discriminatory practice of "H-1B only" ads and prohibit employers from hiring additional H-1B and L-1 guest-workers if more than 50 percent of their employees are H-1B and L-1 visa holders.
We should support, as it puts end to consulting companies abuse.

NO Matter how many people say "Take it easy" its simply not possible, you will have to be a superhuman to do that. Sure its stressfull but no more stressful than boarding your first flight to USA. no more stressful than attending 1st H1B interview at the consulate or your first client interview. So in the end, we have been through all the hurdles with most of us surviving 2001-2002 job markets and now is 2007.
The point is we have been through all that successfully and thats a BIG WIN. So we will be through this too, but not without stress. The day we decided to come to USA and until now we have been successful as we are resourceful and can improvise at a short notice and we will. We are shrewd individuals and We Will PREVAIL.
Amen....

Due to the pending caseload at NSC, the processing time of your I485 application has been extended. Allow extra time for an officer to review your application. Furthermore if all intial evidence was not included with your application or a question arose during adjudication that required a RFE additional time would be needed.
Your application remains awaiting review by an Officer and you will be notified as soon as decision is made. The service is waiting for VISA availability
got this message for my wifes SR opened on 07/30, did anyone got the same response?
I got the same reply to my SR.

If someone is smarter to get his way ahead of me, it is good for him/her. I cannot blame my status on someone else's intelligence/ smartness. If I do not know how to play the game, it is my problem (it actually is, hence I am stuck). But that is OK. I am happy the way I am.

My reasoning for less than 3k visas for EB3 I
Assume EB3 I has 2800 available per year
2800/12 = 233.33 per month.
The spread sheet shows that there are 135 pending with PD of March 01 or less. Which is less than 233 the PD did not cross April because there are 452 applications in april. A PD of April makes sense. Using calculation the PD will be July 2001 in Dec.
if you assume 8080 visas per year then there will be 673 visas availble per month and the PD should have crossed to May 2001 because the total pending 485s on May 1st are 587. If we go with your assumption then the PD in December will be at Jan 2002...I
This is not the correct understanding. I know this myth is propogated millions of times in millions of board and so now this myth has become "truth" for millions. But that is not the correct way USCIS does things.
Country specific limit - 9% does NOT have any realtion to "assigning numbers". it is just meant to "approve 485 - mail you a real physical green card".
In ROW cataegory other countries are also bound with this 9 (7 + 2) % limit for Visa granting. For an example - For Pakistan USCIS will never grant more than 9% visa per year no matter how many applications from Pakistan have been assigned a valid visa number. Same will go true for Britain or any "other" country.
In reality How USCIS divide 28.6% among countires - That is unknown mystery and nobody surely know that. And that is why I had to assume "equal shares - 5 part" in my analysis assuming USCIS works fairly but we all know that is a bullshit too :)
