Please check with your lawyer but as per my understanding, your wife needs to be in 'status' to be added as a dependent on the 485. Since she is on H1B, she is already in 'status'. There is a separate thread for documents required for 485. Check there.
Hi folks,
My labor and 140 got approved and PD is march 05.
After the good news, I can apply for 485, But I have
a question. My wife she came on H4 here and then converted
to H1B and get stamped also. Is it going to be a problem if I apply 485 for
her ( because of H1B) and if its not a problem guide me what are the necessary documents
for her.
Thanks in advance
Sai

Can we organize a hunger strike in front of CAPITOL HILL ,just for one day ?
IV can co-ordinate the event. It will give BIG media attention in DC. It will open the eyes of American people !
1 day hunger events don't make as much splash as longer ones. But that day be better a working day. :)

This press release only shows that it is an administrative/executive fix. Either it is USCIS or DOS or the President, is what I do not know. But clearly, it is something not mandated by legislation, else USCIS/DOS would be breaking several laws by continuing to use the old bulletein.
Read this pdf

that will answer your question.

I think it is very simple to understand. It clearly says it's free for people who filed their adjust of status application (I-485) under new file structure. Since we(most of us) filed under old file structure, we'll always be paying $340. Point numbers no. 5. is about AOS application and not about EAD appl.
Yes , its Free :D Anyway - lets talk with a 3rd person (maybe USCIS) and confirm. Its Free, if you read the EAD forms its clearly written that once some one pays $340 ( not other amount) it becomes FREE for ever. I just checked the EAD forms again before writing this post - let me PASTE from EAD forms if that clear the confusion.
Renewal EAD: If this is a renewal application and you
applying under one of the following categories, a filing fee
not required:
1. (a)(8) Citizen of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, or Palau;
3. (a)(11) Deferred Enforced Departure; or
2. (a)(10) Granted Withholding of Deportation;
4. (c)(l), (c)(4), or (c)(7) Dependent of certain foreign government, international organization, or NATO personnel;
5. (c)(9) or (c)(16) adjustment applicant who filed for adjustment under the fee structure implemented July 30, 2007.

I was also told that there is new law which requires that the PERM fees should be paid by the employer (around 5-6k). Most desi consultancies used to ask the employees to pony up the labor fees. wonder how this will affect the conversion process.
It is ILLEGAL for the foreign applicant to pay for the PERM fees or the I-140 fees or lawyer expenses pertaining to either steps. The Employer MUST bear all expenses for this process. If you have evidence of wrongdoing, pls report it to DOL.
We should not be supportive of such violations of law - as a group it is not in our best interests.
The foreign applicant may pay all I-485 related expenses - or a generous employer can cover those expenses too.

Another rally simultaneously in many states will have good effect provided we have min 500 numbers in individual states.
And yes since we had the DC rally on a weekday (for a geniune reason)
it would be better to make this one a weekend rally just to push things and keep the momentum going. Sure a weekend will fetch 10* more crowd than on a weekday. Sunday would be much preferred as the next day is a working day and things will hot up..!
It can be one rally per neighbouring states.. eg > tristates -- NJ, NY & PA can have one rally . MD , DC & VA can have one ..
Seems like a good thought..

I know many people who stopped comming to this forum (contributing), they just get tired of those insults. If someone has a different opinion, is immediately insulted
Regards
Kukitron
Why should they stop coming on to the forums and discuss things? Will those same people stop coming to the forum and post a question, if they have a looming personal immigration issue. On a public forum, there are gonna be rants and raves. You gotta have your opinion and let the other person rant and rant.. It lies in our thinking.

Yes that is true. They are lobbying strongly for H1b though they are supporting GC increases. Actually with H1b you can stay unlimited years if you apply gc. So there is no urgency for corporations to resolve the issue. They do not have fear of losing you as you are going to stay in USA until you get green card
You are right, but they do have some or may be a little more interest in the GC process too.
1) Because they are paying a lot of money to these consultant companies which they want to reduce.
2)Come to wall street, you will see so many consultants that are needed here to keep this economy running. A high number of H1-B will definitly reduce the price but still they will not get what they want meaning a permanent employee on a lesser pay. Tech companies cannot hire a person permanently because he is stuck with his employer who has filed his GC.
The companies cant continue to pay a lot to these consultanting companies.
Secondly this country should attract good brains, who might not want to come here. Believe me my friends in india are happy there and do not want to come here. They are living in there own homes with families, enjoying every part of our indian culture and are happy.
If nothing really works out here I will be looking out for an oppurtunity back home.

Mine is paper based. Does anyone know how long it takes when its paper based?
If paper based, then you should wait for 90 days.
The answer to your question is that paper-based EAD got approved in 15 days also. We have so many postings and thread indicating average time to 25-30 days. But still on USCIS web site it is 90 days.
This processing is depending on service center. I think TSC is doing very fast, to the extent that many IV members are blaiming that USCIS is milking us - If they give before Jun 30 it is just for one year. Had they been not doing so fast, it would have been two years EAD.
If you get after Jun 30 you are lucky in terms of getting EAD for two years.

I did not go to DC because i did not want to get the green card this way.I grew upwatching aunts,uncles coming from USA bearing gifts.I grew up watching cousins go for USA for higher studies.It used to be so special. Now its become so cheap. Now you guys have literally taken it to the streets. There's no difference between those illegal immigrants and us. This H1visa has ruined it for really smart students who come here on F1 with full scholarship.
This software industry and these cheap bodyshopping companies made it nothing more than a whore business.
My heart is broken. I dont care anymore.thats why i did not come to DC.
i'm not in software either and i have the equivalent of a doctorate and another masters and multiple specialty certifications. if you feel this way you do...you are venting your frustration about body shoppers on us- fine. your prerogative. but why are you here at all? this organization exists to end retrogression. who is "you"? as far as i can see you signed up to be a member.
by going to DC i felt like i did something to get attention to the problem. the resolution will come from congress not us. it is our right to petition, and we did. if we do not create awareness, nobody will help- with retrogression or with exploitative body shoppers. please direct your bitterness where it belongs- not on those who try to help.
each person here is a member and if they participate they do it for themselves. you too are here and lurk around reading the forums for yourself. there is vested interest in it, so maybe you are no better?
we did not cheapen green cards, you are cheapening us, people like you who are struggling through the process and in the process you cheapen yourself too. if you do not want your green card like this, it's simple, do not lurk around here.
chandu, a word of suggestion for you. we are all selfish. this is all driven by our individual needs. some just consider all this beneath them. they carp and whine about anything and everything. their thin skins burn at the slightest suggestion that everyone needs to contribute their time, effort and money. they live here on the forum and scream free speech at every turn, but will neither contribute to keep the "free speech" going, nor advocate free speech for those that urge them to get more active. they talk of aunts and uncles and fantasize about a time long gone as you can see. they talk about not wanting a green card "desperately' or not at all, yet they live on tracking threads. i do not believe their problem is selfishness. it is denial and hypocrisy. but why do you bother? those who show their character as strong and have self respect will succeed in other ways too. those who cower under their aunts and uncles will stay exactly there.
iv has grown and prospered. we have a seat in this discussion. we are talking directly to congress, the administration and uscis. does that guarantee success? nope. but you and me, we sure as hell tried and will always have that with us. and it sure is a great feeling...:cool:

I understand that it might be late and filing a case might be expensive etc. But how come people like murthy.com etc. were willing to fight the sudden revoking of I-485 by UCIS along with AILF? It will only be hypocritical to consider that as injustice and this as not. I don't think filing a case is going to bring the whole process to a halt. The BEC will still continue to process the cases while this case goes on.
We have to do away with all those naysayers and all those IFs and BUTs. I don't belive in it.
We know we have a justified case here and it is a simple matter of whether we are willing to fight.
Why can't we get the support of AILF for this or other law firms? I know there are enough people who have been affected to justify that.
I am with you buddy, but u have to understand
1. AILF will not file such case as they dont have big numbers of people supporting it as plaintiff
2. Your reasons are justified but you forgot one thing: US govt agencies (whether it is USCIS, DOS or DOL) treat immigrants as with the principle "beggars are not choosers", so per them you as an individual and your feelings doesnt matter much
3. Try to think positively, even though everyone will file 485 now but come Oct and if your labor is approved by that time you will be much ahead of everyone and you will not loose your place in the line. I am sure u will get GC approval before most of the July filers
Stay positive, stay calm. May God bless you!!

Lot of our people got this question. We should include this in the conference call with the immigration attorneys on this Friday July 21st.
Does the SKILL bill help persons who have already completed their masters or will it also help those who are pursuing their MBA/MS? (i.e if SKILL is implemented)
Will a person with 2 yrs experience and a MS degree or a person with 6 yrs experience and currently working towards their MBA (part-time) be exempted from the visa numbers?

Fragomen applied for my PERM application last year. The rule is - either advertisement start date or end date should fall in "wage survey duration of 3 months". They didn't follow that. And my PERM got denied. Immediately they applied for my PERM. And it's stuck in Audit. And not to mention, even though it was their mistake, they took fees from employer for filing 2nd PERM.. saying DOL wasn's clear about this rule, and never rejected any application before for this reason.. So its not their mistake!!

I just called and was asked for names and comments. I told her my personal experience: came 10 years ago, worked 5 years, approved I-140 2 years ago, stuck in the queue, working as a scientist at Stanford University, and can not apply fund and have difficulty attending international conference. She asked the state I am from. I strongly urge TX members to call. It is very easy.
