Thanks for the information sharing that has been triggered by the marvelous move by INS by making the dates current....
This may be a rudimentary question, before I ask this Q to my attorney, I wanted to get some information from the public who are in the same boat as I am...
My PD is Dec 2005. I have 2 more years of valid H1B visa time.
Lets assume that I apply for my 485 in a month or two and that I get my EAD by november. I hunt for my "right" partner and get married after november and I plan to get bring her to US of A... here are my Q's
1) Is my H1 going to be valid after I get my EAD approved?
2) Do I "have" to use my EAD card and discard my H1 at all? Can I travel back and forth to India on my H1 even after I have my EAD?
3) Suppose that I bring my wife on a valid H4 through my H1 (even though I have my EAD - I am assuming that for question #1 & #2, the answer is 'YES')
I can file her I485 as long as the dates are current (or current to my PD atleast). Now, in a case if the dates are not current, I can still have my H1 in a valid state so that my wife's status is not in jeopardy.... Now the big question is .... if my I485 gets approved without my priority dates getting current to my PD, what would be status of my wife?? Can this ever be possible?
The gist of all my Q's is... can I maintain my H1 status and use that to bring my wife on H4 even though I have my EAD approved? Does having a EAD card pose any additional queries at port of entry and the american consulate when I apply for H4???

They keep repeating discredited theories and lies ad-nauseum until the opposition tires out and gives in
Border security is a good example of this!
Based on articles in News Article Thread, border security will not be effective. Some quotes from Don't fence them in (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=187144&postcount=1324) By Rub�n Mart�nez | LA Times, October 17, 2007
The Great Wall of America underscores a delusional faith in technology as the only solution to a problem that has nothing to do with technology. Ultimately, such Ozymandian monuments say more about the minds that conceived them than any "enemies" they actually contain. Think of the grandiose barriers of history -- the walls of Troy and China and Berlin; the wall that kept the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto. Think of their fate, their ultimate symbolism. Each began with the idea that people -- and their ideas -- could be restrained by barriers, just like rivers can be dammed. A simple feat of engineering.
And yet we believe that our wall will be the exception.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has done his best to dress up the beast.
It will not work, because not even the greatest engineers can make a mad idea sane.
The following (from The Border Boondoggle (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=158814&postcount=1026) By Andrew Cockburn | Washington Post, September 2, 2007) is about cost effectiveness of border security.
These are that system's immutable laws:
The "threat," as portrayed to the public, always increases in direct proportion to the amount of money lavished on confronting it, and
every extra dollar appropriated for this purpose brings a progressively less effective counter to the threat, thus requiring that even more money be spent. Meanwhile, reality -- the scope and shape of whatever threat is being pressed into service -- is usually at sharp variance with the official picture, which leads to:
The "other side" can usually be maneuvered to react in a way that justifies further efforts on our part.
Given such deficiencies, it seems safe to assume that, $30 billion and more from now, migrants will still be sneaking in to mow our lawns and clean our discount stores, and that this ongoing threat will ensure ever-expanding rounds of spending. That's what "militarization of the border" is all about.
Lou DoGGs has been ranting on Border Security for 1+ year. He has convinced people; I also believed him before reading these articles. These people are forcing lawmakers (who know very well that Border Securty will not work). That is why Kennedy had a large unskilled worker visa quota: less motivation for coming in illegally.
In CIR, border security and amnesty were together. Now border security is before amnesty with the hope that there will be NO amnsety.
This is the influence of Lou DoGGs!

Chaanakya,
Till now, i used to believe that USCIS is working hard and eventually they will clear all the backlogs and give the GC to everyone. but by seeing your post, i think i am mistaken, they are doing a big mistake by giving a GC to people like you.
Once you become a gc holder and then a citizen, you will question a lot of other things, like giving social security/medicare to poor people who have not contributed and will also question the tax cut(1000$) given to each child when claimed as dependent , as you will argue that , i was doing my second Phd and others who dont have anything else to do, made children and are now claiming the cut.
All i am saying is that american people are in great danger by allowing people like you to get the GC and citizenship.
Ok, among the many replies to what i wrote, a few have been rational discussions. A healthy argument is always encouraged. However, I will dissect the above post line by line to pinpoint exactly why some people completely deserve the treatment that they get. Here I demonstrate how a healthy discussion is hijacked by imbeciles and that is why IV is doomed to failure.
"Till now, i used to believe that USCIS is working hard and eventually they will clear all the backlogs and give the GC to everyone. but by seeing your post, i think i am mistaken, they are doing a big mistake by giving a GC to people like you. "
DOES THIS EVEN MAKE SENSE?? WHAT DOES USCIS BEING HARDWORKING AND CLEARING BACKLOGS HAVE TO DO WITH MY POST ON A RANDOM FORUM?? YOU SIR, MAY BE MISTAKEN ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS AND MY POST MAY BE THE LEAST OF YOUR PROBLEMS.
"Once you become a gc holder and then a citizen, you will question a lot of other things, like giving social security/medicare to poor people who have not contributed and will also question the tax cut(1000$) given to each child when claimed as dependent , as you will argue that , i was doing my second Phd and others who dont have anything else to do, made children and are now claiming the cut. "
LET ME GUESS, YOU THINK MCCAIN IS GREAT, RIGHT? BECAUSE YOU SEEM TO HAVE A CRYSTAL BALL WHICH CAN PREDICT WHAT I WILL DO YEARS FROM NOW AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT FROM A ISOLATED POST ON A RANDOM FORUM, YOU HAVE CREATED A COMPLETE PICTURE OF MY POLITICS?? THAT IS THE BEAUTY OF THE INTERNET, EVEN PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO CANNOT FORM A COHERENT THOUGHT HAVE AN EQUAL SAY IN ANY DISCUSSION.
"All i am saying is that american people are in great danger by allowing people like you to get the GC and citizenship."
SOMEONE PLEASE GO AND WARN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OF THE GRAVE DANGER !! NOT ONE WORD IN THIS ENTIRE POST OF YOURS CAN EVEN PRETEND TO BE PART OF A LOGICAL THOUGHT !! WOULD YOU CARE TO EXPLAIN WHAT THE DANGER IS? WHY IS IT SPECIFIC TO AMERICAN PEOPLE? YOUR PREVIOUS PARA SEEMS TO IMPLY THAT I AM ANTI-IMMIGRANT, NOW I AM ANTI AMERICAN??
This is precisely why IV hasnt achieved its goals till now and probably never will.

Guys, Oct'08 VB is out and dates are retrogressed again? How on the earth dates can go back. This is the most stupid system I have ever seen in my life.
Don't they have computer in USCIS? If not, I can send some money to buy few computers so they can process EB3-I applications.

SunnySurya,
BTW, I don't know who this pointlesswait is.
Anyway, I guess people in this forum still have the right to be disappointed by how lawmakers behave. Listen, I have hope that some form of legal imm legislation will pass some day, may be within a year, but I do believe it would take some serious lobbying efforts by powerful people to achieve that. That just seems to be the reality. You can try to ignore reality if you want.

I got a ref today the reason ability not to pay. They state that in line 21ordinary business income is less than what it should be according to PW and based on that employer was not able to PW in those years like from 2001 to 2006but the gross income was always in between 600000-1000000 each year. but can they relate your old returns with new PW. I mean does it matter based on your last 5 returns ability not to pay but currently I am drawing more than PW and my employer never filed tax`return with loss. pl. advice Does I need good CPA

EB-3 PD 2001
Filed I-140 & I-485 on May 5,2007
The petitioner must show the ability to pay since establishment of PD. It does not matter if you get paid more than proferred now . Getting paid more than proferred wage always helps.
If the petitioner has more than one immigration petition pending then he has to prove that he has ability to pay for all petitions simultaneously since each petitions respective priority date.
Declaring profits help but again one has to put everything in context of immigration petition. If you got paid 10k less than proferred wage in a particualr year , petitioners profits must exceed 10k for that year. If there are 10 petitions pending in a year and all of them got paid 10k less than proferred wage petitioners profit must exceed 100k. I am trying to a put a simple example here . A right lawyer or right CPA may have ways to overcome these things.
Looks like a good sign in your case is you filed in May 2007 , is that regular or premium processing case? If it is reg processing case then looks like INS is processing cases based on PD which is a good thing should help lot of BEC folks.
Just curious if your case is a labor substution case?

while booking appointment I said I will collect my passport at local VFS office.

There are few people who got their passport on same day. If your petetion information is already in PIMS database you might passport back get on same day. Good Luck!

i dont think they are hiding any numbers from EB3 ppl..thay are just following the rules book to the letter...
and since only one group of ppl are affected..they dont want to take the pain of fixing the immigration mess...4-5 years is a normal lag for ROW and non retrogressed nations...
You can go to USCIS website they have
information of Freedom of information act..specified..you can get ur dose of reality check if you want...
instead of that you can be more proactive and support IV campaings!
Is IV interested in doing a Freedom Of Information Act request to USCIS how and when they used up all visa numbers for EB3-India. That might show some information if they cooked the numbers if at all. We might get some more insight which monthly VISA bulletin does NOT give.

understood the anguish,... But will it do any good. No for sure. If not on H1, If not on L1 then outsourcing companies will find alternative like B1/B2 i have seen many examples... if on B1/B2 no benefits at all get the person get the work done forget the "Person"....
This bill will INCREASE Outsourcing.. .My view. becoz employers after reading the text would say why should i worry about filing H1 after all so no new H1 Transfers to regular comps and no to existing consulting companies due to 50% limit. L1's are screwed.
Ask yourself what does it do and whom does it help. Does it help existing economy , looks to many becoz they dont understand it increases offshoring...
But there is already enough abuse in H1/L1 , How is IV recommending path forward for this bill ?

Write to Mr. Bush (no kidding). They will send an inquiry to FBI and you will get something from FBI NNCP (name check division). If that does not help, file a lawsuit against USCIS/FBI. Or you can file a lawsuit first and then write a letter to save some time. The lawsuit will get things moving. The do-it-yourself guide is located here:
