Is it possible to retain all 485 applications till July-30 and then start rejecting all of them saying not sufficient application fees. Just to defend themselves.

ANAND
I have been to the interview before approximately 60 days of visa expiration 3 times and no issues.
Last year when I went for interview I was told that my visa is approved and I will get the passport in 5-7 days but when I did not get the passport after 15 days I called embassy and was told that my case is in admin processing and will take up to 60 days. Since my previous visa was valid so I asked for my passport and got it and came on the old visa stamp.

Hi,
I am a dependent of my parents who are currently staying in the U.S. with E-2 Visa. We have stayed in the U.S. for almost 9 years now and we are trying to get a Green Card.
My parents have already filed and received an approved I-140, but my parents say that we have to wait couple years before being able to file I-485.
I don't quite understand why there is a delay between receiving an approved I-140 and filing I-485.
It seems like everybody either files both I-140 and I-485 concurrently or file I-485 immediately after I-140 is approved.
So, my question is: Is there usually a span of time that applicants must wait before filing I-485 after getting their I-140 approved?
Thanks a bunch,

Hello,
According to my knowledge the majority of name checks submitted are electronically checked and returned to the submitting agency as having "No Record" within 48-72 hours. The processing time for FBI name checks usually take from 30-120 days but timing does vary from case to case. The FBI’s intention is to have all visa requests processed within 120 days. Most name check requests that are over 60 days old are the result of the time required to retrieve and review field office record information. Any case which is not processed within this time frame is usually delayed because of a potential "hit" which will be further reviewed manually.
Hello Sir,
Thank you for the quick reply.
As my application have been lodge for almost 2.5 months now.
Can I please ask 'when' is the FBI name check done? Is the FBI name check the first thing that will be done?
How will I know that my FBI name check is successful?
Thank you once again.

I work with a consulting company on client side. The client is planning a shutdown for 2 days a month - 2nd and 4th Friday.
Do you guys think its gonna impact 485 application. I am asking this question cause the labor was approved for 40/hrs per week and the salary slip shows the number of hrs worked per month which will be lesser than 160 (in case the month has 4 weeks).
BTW, I am on EAD and 140 approved couple of years back.
Thanks
Pavan -
You should maintain 40/hr per week. This could mean - your consulting company paying these days for your "full time job". The other option is - taking paid time off for these days. Again, it should be paid time off.
Good Luck.

$930 plus a biometrics fee of $80; the fee total is $1,010. Exceptions listed below. There is no fee for applicants who are filing Form I-485 based on having been admitted to the United States as a refugee. Applicants 80 years of age or older are not charged a biometric fee; the fee total is $930. Applicants under 14 years of age: - Filing with the I-485 application of at least one parent have a fee total of $600 - Not filing with the I-485 application of at least one parent have a fee total of $930
I would assume that EAD and AP have to be paid for separately.
see the last paragraph. Looks like the new fee is a combined fee.

I think these bills are too complicated and have possibilities of failing on the house floor, even if they pass through the senate..
My question to the group is: Does it make sense for us to lobby for changes to existing laws as 'amendments/enhancements' (do not know the exact term), which need not go through this full-blown congressional approval process.. Another issue that we are facing with the bills such as immig. comprehensive bill is that we get tagged together with illegal immig., so it becomes all the more probable to get rejected. I am just being realistic and urging the IV team to add one more action item to the agenda and see if we can put some efforts towards this additional agenda.
I think, in addition to supporting the bills, we should look at this additional possibility. Something like allowing I-485 even though the number is not available, just requires an amendment to the existing law. It does not require additional quota, so there is no major impact to immigration law as a whole. So, we may not need to wait for a bill to clear, in order for such reliefs to be approved.
My take is: we should strive for 3-pronged approach - 1) near short term approach is to ask for immediate relief such as I-485 filing without the visa number availability; there may be other such reliefs possible - 2) short term approach is to support the current bills being considerd, as we are doing already - 3) long term approach is to think of what is the backup plan in case 1 and 2 fails
Just thinking out loud here.

The story goes some thing like this....
My labor was approved by Dallas BEC on 21st June'06 and my employer received a letter to that effect by end of June.
By July 25th my lawyer had everything else in place to file the I-140 but was yet to receive the stamped ETA forms from Dallas...so she concluded the approval was lost in mail. She sent the I-140 petition to nebraska on July 26th with a copy of the approval letter that my employer received along with a letter telling the orginal approval was lost in mail. The lawyer did finally receive the original approval in the first week of August (May be the postman took a scenic route :) ). The I-140 petition was forwarded to Texas under bi-specailization. I received an automated email from USCIS case notification that an RFE was issued on sept 1 but neither the lawyer nor my employer had received any RFE letter up until last Friday (sept 15) so I pressed her to find out more. She called the Texas service center and they told her 'The RFE was not for the employer' It was for the DOL...They sent a request to USCIS for a copy of labor approval and were waiting to hear back...
Now my questions:
1. I know you will say why not ask the lawyer to sent the approval she received in mail to USCIS and resolve the issue. I thought the same but lawyer thinks it will create additional confusion and advises we wait 4 more weeks to see if they decide on the case...if not..only then send the approved ETA forms. Do you think its a wise idea ?
2. Has any one else here gone through similar situation or know some one who did ? How long does it take for USCIS to receive a copy of labor from DOL ? Since Dallas is all electronic now..shouldn't it be as simple as forwarding a screen shot of ETA to the USCIS requesting officer ?
Since EB2 dates for India a retrogrogressed badly I am not in any particular hurry but it would be great if I can atleast get this 140 monkey off my back..Thankyou

Hi,
I came to the USA on F-1 student visa which is expired on 2005. Currently I have H1B status (I-797 form) (and NOT a stamped visa) and I-94 attached to the I-797 form.
My question is that. Can I visit Canada for less than 30 days and coming back without the need to get a visa (automatic visa re-validation) OR I have to get a visa?
I am worried because I never have a stamped H1B visa on my passoprt. Only H1B status + I94 which are not attached to the passoprt?
I need your help and how can I make sure as I do not want to lose my job.
Thank you,
John
I think you will need a Visa.
I remember a bulletin from Murthy.com a few months back mentioning a rule where people going for first time H1 B stamping (from F1, H4) cannot get their H1 stamped in Mexico and the rule was soon to be followed in Canada as well. Please search the Murthy.com site for more information on this but i would advice going to home country.
Other members - please let us know if you are better informed.
