Maybe. But parallel filing itself has been dysfunctional ever since retrogression hit. Talk of replacing one dysfunctional system with another.
Correct me if I am wrong.
They started premium processing for I140 so that they could stop parallel filing of 140 and 485.

Could anyone senior in the forum please let me know if there is any way for me to get 485 reopened sooner where its USCIS mistake to deny 140 and 485.

Guys!! I have no idea what can bring sense to all of us and unify our voice. America is not our " Fathers or In -Laws " house to give or grant what we want. There is a reason behind why STEM has been established...because there is a shortage for highly skilled and intellectual people. They dont need any software engineers because the golden period of 90s for tech boom is done....now the boom is in BANGALORE!!! So guys jobs have been outsourced and there is no big demand for the techies...and we all know it..DONT WE??? Coming to MBA's i have mentioned this in my earlier post too, there are so many MBAs already here and nstead of mindlessly saying we want MBA's included or we should get EADs for H4 or the next Pope should be an H1B waiting for GC, we should concentrate on efficency of USCIS, increasing the number of Visas rather than adding clauses based on our whims and fancies. America needs Engineers, Scientists, Mathematicians, Biologists, Professors who will bring about innovation and be involved in research because thats what drives a country. What can we techies contribute other than programming which by the way people in INDIA are doing for less if not any better. Just by paying taxes we cant call what they are doing is unjust against human rights ...etc How many of us tried to write or call our own Netas in India against corruption or any other slight problem.When we didnt exercise our right there...this country is not even ours how can we expect them to show pity on us and include the clauses we want. We have to our earn the rights to get permanent residency and for that if one has to get a Masters Degree maybe thats the price. A lot of Students come to America on F1 by spending on an average 15000 t0 20000K and sometimes more and after the downturn when there were no jobs some of these students even paid for a second masters and even Phds without aid when we in california raked in sign in bonuses and all other moolah. Maybe this is the pay back time for people with advanced degrees and lets all accept it gracefully. I know each of us want to continue to live the good old American dream but although the truth is bitter lets be rational with our demands and work towards an educated goal.

Eb2 - India. We filed I140 and then I-485 in July 2007. PD May 2007. Got I-140 approved. EAD / AP approved for me / spouse and Kids. They soft LUD on I-485 after one week of I-140 approval. and My spouse got the RFE.
We just submitted a affidavit during my i485 filing in July as dont have her birth certificate at that time. Now we got RFE for my spouse saying that they need the birth certificate or Non-availability certificate. When we checked with the Birth Registration office, They have the birth certificate but with different Birth date(Her parents changed her Date of Birth during pre-school admission) - Now new DOB is reflected in all her Officical Documents(school vertificate, Passports, Driving License etc) whereas her birth certificate has the original date. Shall I submit the original Birth Certificate alongwith the Affidavit saying the mistake made by her Parents as the response this RFE. Since the Birth certificate is available in the registration office at different date, they refused to provide the non-availability certificate.
Gurus - Please advise.
rbalaji,
If you don't mind sharing can you please give info like, your priority date, which service center your application is being processed.
Looks like they have begun processing applications filed in July 07.

I am not sure. That is why I am asking for inputs if someone has done this.
Is it required for an AC-21 case or optional?

I actually sent evl instead of paystubs. I cant produce paystubs because I am not currently working with them
What is "evl"?
Anyway, it appears you just filed for your I-485 using "evl" or whatever it is that is causing you grief. Well, one "adventurous" option would be that if you just filed for I-485 and your PD is current and your old employer is not revoking the I-140, why don't you ask the new employer to apply for your LC and I-140 and then port the PD from the old employer?
Don't withdraw your existing I-485 until your new LC and I-140 come through. If the PD is current, then withdraw the old I-485 and apply for a new I-485. If the PD is not current, then do nothing and hope you don't get a RFE on the existing I-485.
Thanks,
Jayant

I have a few questions on using AP-
1. I have a valid AP till Jan. 04, 2009. I have applied for a new AP in Sept. last week. Can I travel on my current AP which is valid till Jan. 04, 2009 or will I have any problems with I-485, since I cannot travel on current AP, because I have applied for a new one.
2. Next, suppose I travel on my valid AP (the one till Jan. 04, 2009) in November first week and return on Dec. 10, 2008, what date will I get I-84 till? Will I get it till Dec. 09, 2009 or till Jan. 04, 2008. Ofcourse, the officer will stamp 'Parolee' on I-94, but till what date?
3. Have anyone had any bad experience, when boarding airlines at Indian airports, particularly Mumbai- Do they understand what AP documentation is, in lieu of the normal visa on passport?
Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
Answers:
#1. A AP does not become invalid, because of overlapping dates or because you applied for new one. You are free to start journey and come back between the validity of an AP (for a reasonable duration for a reasonable reason).
#2. If you are on EB based AOS, stamp "Parolee up to ..." on AP is not significant. It does not affect status, if you stay beyond that stamped date.
#3. Never came across any one having problem in Mumbai. But in some European Countries, issues are there.

1. Can we use AC21 provision without EAD card ?
2. My H1 expires in Jan 2008. Do I need to have EAD card before that ?
3. Can we apply for EAD later, after you have filed 485 and AP? If so do we need any reciept of 485 application?

Use the reply from Ombudsman's office and do an inquiry via your local senators office. Also call up central customer service and open a service request. (Get the number and info of the call like the timings and officers name). Finally if you date is current and is not getting picked up for adjudication. File a WOM.

Got a letter from Sen B Boxer, CA. Standard letter.. with bla bla bla..
zeast of letter.. Sen. is working hard to resolve the complex issue and requested me to keep patience.
:) That i am doing anyway from last 7+ year..:D
Yes it is positive --At-least senators are sticking to their timetable of CIR by March and April.
I guess that is the reason IV is asking for stories by Wednesday noon, This hearing is also on the same day.

Grow up, try to give meaningful titiles
We are expecting some surprises in the July Bulletin. Remember July 2007 fiasco. This year also there are some situations like CIR as before. What about the expected spillover? However, can we expect positive surprises?
Let us start the prediction, analysis, etc, game for the July Bulletin.

But when I check status online on 10/22 afternoon...My and My Spouse EADs are approved and Cards Ordered. But rest of the Receipts still not available online.
My receipts starting with SRC0800xxxx are still not in the system either. It is told that it takes a few days to get them in the system.

Hello guys,
I e-filed my EAD renewal in July 3rd, did my FP in August 1 and I still don't have my card.
I opened a Service Request last week since it's been way beyond the "regulatory" 90 days and I got a letter yesterday basically saying that "even though my case is serious, I didn't provide them with an extreme reason to expedite the issuing of the card". Then on a separate line they have: "pending security clearance".
What in the world is an "extreme" reason to get my EAD renewed?? And why is it pending a security clearance if It's already been more than 120 days and it's a "renewal" -not a new card!!
My original EAD expired in 8/10 (I never used it) and my H1B will expire in 1/21/2009.
Anyone got the same thing? What can I do here?
that is how ineffecient they are, best thing you can do is, site that your h1 will expire and u dont have plans of h1 renewal and u planning to use EAD, i dont know what else could be more extreme than not having an EAD when you want to use it :)
