If its any comfort, my lawyer said he couldn't think of a reason why tax returns are necessary for filing 485.
Hi,
I wanted to know how critical are the tax returns for GC processing. I am asking this because i have filed the tax returns for 2006 as married even though i got married in January'07.
Now my marriage certificate reflects jan'07 and the tax return for 2006 was filed as joint.
Will this be of issue in the processing? Is there a way out from this, like readjust the tax returns?
Any help in this regard with be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

WITHDRAWAL
Question: How can a pending application filed under PERM be withdrawn?
If the application was filed on-line, the application can be withdrawn by accessing the account wherein the application was filed and simply marking the appropriate box.
If the application was filed by mail, a withdrawal request, in writing, must be sent to the National Processing Center to which the application was originally submitted.
Question: Must the employer wait to receive confirmation of withdrawal from a Backlog Elimination Center (BEC) prior to refiling an application?
No, the employer does not need to wait to receive confirmation of withdrawal prior to refiling an application.
Source: http://usavisanow.com/perm-faq-4.html
(I think the same rule should apply for PERM and appealed case)
EDIT: Sorry the following information seems to suggest otherwise.

Sathweb,
Thank you for your reply. I just checked the links you have provided and i understand that i need to wait for DOL to first withdraw my PERM application before filing a new perm. I am not sure how long i have to wait and its frustrating. I was just checking if some one is there in the same boat as me. I have been on and off this green card train through out my stay in US.
Applied for 1st PERM in Mar2006
Got my PERM approved in Nov 2006
Quit my first employer (DESI) for all the troubles he was giving me inspite of having my labour approved.
Joined new company in Mar07
Than followed the July 07 fiasco and missed my bus
New employer filed for PERM in JUN/JUL 07
Got Audit, Sent Audit reply, Got Denied
Re appealed against my wishes.
Ran all the ad campaign and GC process again.
AFter all this now waiting for earlier PERM TO be withdrawn..
Folks, everybody here on this forums have a painful Green card story. Some are lucky but most of us are not. I have read on IV forums that people are waiting for 8,9 years still to get there GC so i totally understand. The worst part is i missed the July 07 fiasco.

Why don't send them an email stating that the project ended after 4 months? Don't forget to CC company B.
If the project ended, then you are not getting paid for that project anymore. So, that itself is your proof, in case you receive a legal notice. So, stop worrying.

Did u change employers on EAD? or H1b transfer?
on EAD..
Also when you renewed EAD & AP:
1. Did you do it yourself? or did u have your new employer do it?
2. Did u get any RFE's when you renewed your EAD/AP well after you switched employers. (I assume you changed addresses in this process).
thx
1) did it myself..
2) yep i changed address, no rfes for anything..

my current employer filed for my labor in march 2005, got approved in march 2007, filed I-140 in April 2005,and while I-140 was pending filed I-485 in july fiasco. In sep-2007 got intent to deny of I-140 based on A2P(ability to pay), employer filed M.T.R in October 2007. I have my fingered crossed looking at the financial statment from employer for the year 2005. chances are the MTR will be denied too. Now I have a new job offer from another employer who is willing to do new H1b for me and may be a labor petition too. the question is I want to see what comes out of the current MTR. Here is the question;
1/- if I tell the current employer to contine the process(which I dont think he will have problem with) and join the job on h1b will my I-485 status be changed or will it effects the current process?
2/- I am currently runnig on sixth year of h1b and my current visa expires in 2010 bades on the pending process with current employer. if I join the new employer on h1b what will be the H1b status will be?
thanks for the answers in advaced
a. You wait for MTR results and make a decision based on that
b. If you MTR is denied, you will have to start your GC process from scratch (labor -> 140 -> 485) because your 485 is automatically denied - so do not think of using EAD or avail AC21.
c. since you have an approved H1B till 2010, you can transfer it to new employer - ask the new employer to GC, and you will become eligible for further H1 extensions.
consult a lawyer immediately as yours is a tricky situation.

Hi All,
We are devastated. We got robbed last weekend. We lost everything including our green cards. After 6 years of wait, we got the cards in May. Unfortunately, we did not make any photocopies. We applied for replacement of cards using I-90 forms. Has anyone been in such a situation ?
Please help us with any suggestions.
Thanking you all.

When my AP came up for renewal my attorney asked to get new set of photos.
In addition my cousin's EAD application got RFE'ed to get new set of photos even though the photos were recent. The reason given was that they had used same photos to renew their visa few months back (less than 6 months).
Is USCIS coming up some new rule about photos being 'unused' ?? The guidelines say that photos should be recent (taken in last 6 months). However nowhere I do I see that the photos should be 'unused' previously ?
Anyone else had same experience ?
hmm... and here i am wondering for last 10 years "why cannot i reuse stamps "

My wife got her teaching credentail in California last year. You first get your degree evaulated by AERC and then apply to any school that offers a credential program. You do not get much credit for your UG courses. The whole teacher credentail program takes any where between 55 to 65 credit hours to finish. The fee for the program is low as it is subsitized by the state govt's. You will pay instate tution atleast in California. No financial aid on H4 visa.

I received CPO email's for me and my son. My wife's online status is unchanged (no emails yet...). We have not received the Welcome email yet....
Folks;
I received an approval notification through the CRIS system of USCIS. Almost everyone who I saw got approved got a CPO and welcome message email. Don't know what to make out of it...my lawyer is also mum on the issue.
Here is the content:
Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Approval notice sent.
On September 3, 2009, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.
Also I as the primary applicant only received the mail...my wife's status is still unchanged...
Best,
SoP

There is some potential good news on the horizon. DHS just published a notice (http://www.regulations.gov/fdmspubli...0000648072c5eb) that they intend to consolidate three of ancient CIS electronic record systems into a new database. Hopefully, this new database will yield the data the Visa Office needs.
Right now, the CIS does not have any comprehensive database that shows how many AOS cases are pending by preference classification, priority date, and country of chargeability. The new database that is supposed to become operational within the next ten days contains information gathered from the many independent CIS databases. Supposedly, this new database will show all of this information.
Once the CIS is able to provide the State Department with this information, the Visa Office will then (for the first time) have accurate information as to the actual demand for immigrant visas. They will then be able to make more accurate adjustments to the cutoff dates in the Visa Bulletin. For some time now, they have been flying blind without accurate information.

He can use AP to renter. USCIS would not have approved to give EAD if USCIS determined he was out of status in the first place.
NOT True.. they will give and come after you just to deny/revoke it.

Go online, change ur address on record with INS/DHS and also for any pending INS petition u have curently.
dont have any fears like "oh if i change now will it screw up my on going...". nothing -ve will happen. worst ive heard is - something gets returned back to INS, you make a phone call and remind bout address change u have already done, and in 2 weeks they resend the doc to new address.
its the law, and they have made it damn easy for u to follow; so just do it.
if u want example - i myself moved 20 days ago, did online addr change. i had applied for ead renewal in may, INS sent ead card to my new address only...so the system works...i also know 3 other 485 cases where address chg was done, they had no prob receivng GC at the new addresses, no -ve affect.
thanks

My current project is finishing end of this month (Nov) and am not sure if my company will engage me in another project, I work with a offshore model company. If I dont get another project they provide two options work from India or find another company.
I filed for 485 on Jul 19. Got my EAD, 485 receipts, AP is pending. I-140 filed on Feb 28th 2007 at Nebraska and pending.
What are the risks if I move at this time. Company may not revoke I-140, but may not respond to RFE. If I take two months leave .. to buy time and come back (My current H1 stamp in passport expired), can I expect the I-140 to be approved by that time, Or can I apply for a new I140 through the new company and continue the GC processing. Iam in a dillemma as to what will happen as I have only 2 months and odd days left to invoke AC21 and USCIS is currently processing I-140 Nov15 cases as of the last update and mine is Feb'07. I would appreciate any suggestions.

New Passport or Renewal depends on your current passport. If there is an "(F)" after the expiry date of your passport, then you will have to apply for a new one. Otherwise you can renew the existing one. Even if you get a new one, the consulate will return the old one - and you can carry both passports if your old one has a valid visa. I am not sure if renewal will result in a new passport copy or if they will just change the date in the existing passport. After coming to the US, I could only apply for a new one as I could not renew my old one (old one was applied for when I was below 18 yrs old). At that time, I carried both my old passport with F1 stamp and new passport untill I got H1 stamped in my new passport. The new passport I got back in 1997 was valid for 20 years (expires in 2017).
Thank you very much.
I dont have a "F" next to the expiry date on the current passport. so i can do the processing for renewal i guess and pay only the $15 for delivery charges.
Pls clarify.
