485 was approved on 7/26/07. Wife's 485 was delivered by Fedex to Nebraska Service Center on 7/19/07.
Is wife OK and does this mean her 485 is pending(even though receipt is not sent by USCIS yet) or she is going to be out of status???
Thanks,

Hello,
One of the clients is not considering EAD as a valid document to enter their facilities. Funny thing is their security team are ok if you have valid visa and I94 but not EAD.
I think this is more of ignorance about EAD.
Can some provide doucumentation which says discrimination of EAD is violation of Law? or some thing that says EAD is a valid document to work adn stay in the country.

Good question, but the answer would be purely based on what is your future plan. If you want to continue to work in the software industry then there are only few cities in the list. If you want to do business (which is my personal choice) then the choice would be totally different.
Seems you are thinking a lot about your kids education (obviously), please remember, those days when only metro city students are in the top ten list of board exam results are gone, if you check the recent years results you will notice that students from small town/ rural schools are doing great.
If you don't want to give a sudden drastic change to your 6 year old then stay in the metro city for a year or two and then move to your home town if you want. OR if your intension is to work in the software industry then metros are the best choice and fyi the market is very hot now.
All I can say is you are thinking in the right direction, good luck.
Folks, there is thought that keeps coming to mind about where to go back in India when we finally plan to...
When we came in 2002 we did think that we will go back in a couple of years at the most....but it's been longer...we definately love it hear but think that should settle down in India rather for multiple reasons (mostly personal reasons)
I am from a small town in India and it is definately not a IT hub, my wife is from Mumbai and we think it is now too crowded (as always -:) or say to hectiv a life in Mumbai....
so then which is the best place to go ...Pune ? I hear that even that is very crowded and not to mention the sky rocketing real estate....
We have 2 kids...one 6 years and the younger one ...one year....
How is schooling back home ? I hear that the studies for the school there are much more difficult compared to here ? I mean can kids going from here cope up there in schools ?
I also hear that there are foreign schools....for which I might have to continue working here to pay the fees -;)
Thoughts friends ?

Almond I agree with you completely...I am not against questions being asked or answering questions...This community has been helpful to me in the past and I would be more than welcome to lend support....but a little effort would'nt harm....
There is a saying "SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND...." No matter how old the information its always possible to dig it out...not only using this forumn search but also google search....I just hope people try and seek before ..that's all

Hi Leoindiano:
What is meant by Pre-Adjudication and how do we know that, our case is Pre-Adjudicated. Sorry to ask you this qn. specifically, as I amnot seeing any LUDs on my case, and my para-legal says, dont worry.
my case details are PD10/05 EB2 I, RD 07/02/07 and ND 08/30/07 at TSC.
Can you enlighten us little bit more.
From , it appears that most people got their GC's without any LUD's. May be most cases are preadjucated and there will be only one final status change.

Always try to go for group policy with your employer, even if you are paying 100% of the premium and your company is not contributing a dime. That way your premiums are lower than what you get from the open market...may be you do not have that option but good to know... I can vouch for Kaiser, they are very good.

I have 2 approved I-140s from same company with which I am currently working. One PD is end 2004 and another is end 2005.
My I-485 was filed last July with PD end 2004 (I-140 was approved way back in 2006).
Recently, an ombudsman inquiry revealed my PD to be end 2005 and not end 2004. The 140 with PD end 2005 was never used to file 485.
Anybody with similar experience?
How do I get this corrected?
My category is EB2 India.

SKIL Bill--S-2611--Introduced to the House, May Raise H-1B, EB Quotas
The SKIL Bill has been introduced to the House of Represenatives by nine congressmen, all Republicans. (The acronym stands for "Securing Knowledge Innovation and Leadership.") If passed into law, S-2611 would raise the H-1B cap to 115,000 and the EB quota to 290,000. It would also exempt spouses and children from the quota, which would certainly eliminate the current 5-year backlog in the EB-3 category. Many agree that the SKIL Bill is important to the U.S. economy.
SKIL Bill: Who, What, Why?
The SKIL Bill would help programs bring well-educated foreign talent together with U.S. employers who say they are suffering a shortage of skilled workers.
Introduced by Representative John Shadegg (R-AZ), the SKIL Bill would reform the H-1B visa system as well as the employment- based (EB visa) green card process. Cosponsors include representatives John Campbell (R-CA), K. Michael Conaway (R-TX), John T. Doolittle (R-CA), Jeff Flake (R-AZ), Peter Hoekstra (R-MI), Michael McCaul (R-TX), Mike Pence (R-IN), John Shimkus (R-IL) and Todd Tiahrt (R-KS).
The United States has found itself in a state of lacking competitiveness due to the difficulties that foreign students and workers have encountered with the U.S. visa process. The SKIL Bill's introduction to the House sends a message that the Bush Administration and the U.S. Congress alike are addressing this issue and taking it seriously.
Some of the highlights of the SKIL Bill (Securing Knowledge Innovation and Leadership) include:
-EB and H-1B cap exemptions for foreign workers educated in the United States who have earned a graduate degree. U.S. educated foreign workers with master's or higher degrees.
-Making the H-1B process and cap more flexible, based on market needs, so that U.S. employers are not severely delayed from hiring essential foreign talent for months at a time.
-Extending optional post-graduate work (practical training) from 12 months to two years, so that these highly skilled, U.S.-educated foreign workers have a better chance of attaining green card status and using their talents in the States.
-Exempting spouses and children of EB green card applicants from the annual EB immigrant visa cap, which would free up these visas for the professionals themselves.
Reasons Behind the SKIL Bill

It looks like I replied you sometime back.
Your best bet is to file another premium H1B showing all the background and your second I-140. Also attach a clear letter quoting the specific sections of immigration act. Time is critical here, and I am not sure how long the MTR for an H1 will take.
Hi Attorney,Senior People, Gurus,
Iam really need of advice. Please
give me your valuable Suggestions/Advice.
Thanks in Advance.

S. 9: Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 Introduced 01/04/2007
H.R. 572: Comprehensive Immigration Reform Commission Act of 2007 Introduced 01/18/2007
People,
I dont want to sound pessimistic but do we think its necessary that we have to have some backup plan if the CIR bill gets into the mess it got into last year because of amnesty given to illlegal.
The WORST SUFFERERS will be LEGAL IMMIGRANTS who are at the mercy of this illegal immigrants bill.Do you people think that we need to discuss atleast (the IV core group) the back up strategy if the CIR gets into grid lock as it happened last year.
I think its worth a discussion.People any ideas.?

Hello,
I got my EAD through my primary Employer. I am currently working on EAD but with a different Employer (NY State Agency) who doesn�t encourage GC processing, so did not file my AC21 and been working for over a year now. I still have good rapport with my primary Employer. Now I am scheduled to go to INDIA for few weeks, my question is " whom should I say is my Employer " if the immigration officer asks me at the port of entry (JFK). Please advise as I will be carrying my current pay stubs.
Thank you
Tell the truth.AC21 is not mandatory.

The PD for my GC application is Dec 10, 2001. I filed under EB3 category and my chargeability is India. Going by the backlog that we are currently experiencing for EB3, is it worth filing for an upgrade of the GC application from EB3 to EB2 based purely on timelines for both EB3 and EB2?
Since you are already very close to the GC, I would not recommend to go for EB2. It would take 1-2 years for the PERM and I-140 get cleared. By that time you might have got your GC. If your employer is ready to spend, give a try and you are not going to lose anything.
