Gurus,
Need your valuable advice on this serious issue. Involved in shoplifting case, got arrested and plead guilty. Served the community service, and paid fine. Got the �Court Disposition Document� which states that I am all clear. My status is I-485 pending and have EAD, AP documents.
1. Is it safe to travel to India and come back on AP?
2. What are the possible chances that visa officer may not let me into the USA?
3. Do I need to carry any letters from my criminal attorney explaining the situation?
4. Any one in similar situation, please update me on this?
5. Please list of documents I need to carry during my travel
Please reply and post your valuable opinions/suggestions/advices.
Appreciate all your inputs.
Have a nice day!!!
Thank you,
Sahaayam.

Is the following (or can it be) a part of the Admin Fix Initiative? :-
Allow I-485 filing and/or obtaining EAD,AP benefits when I-140 is approved irrespective of priority date being current. This will help many of us who missed the July 07 boat.
After listening to his crystal cut views about fixing broken immigration system, my confidence level is boosted and felt like Dr.Obama has guts to deal this challenging CIR initiative for the better future of immigrants and for families of all of those hardworking smart legal immigrants who have been waiting for approvals from past 10 years. Hope it's not alluring speech for his upcoming elections. Problem clearly persists with politicians who don't like our EB VISA applicant community.
I think these following things should be the high priority items for IV core team and to all of us. People who have been patiently waiting to file for 485 since JULY 2007 are loosing hopes based on ongoing immigration trends. I think that it would take at least another 2 or 3 years to pass the CIR and to see it's law in action if GOP fellas have guts and to let this pass it successfully. I think that we should focus on two things to minimize the damage to our personal and professional lives.
I think one quick solution for fixing the issue of century old broken immigration system of USCIS is by allowing disciplined and long waited legal immigrant applicant to file for 485 application once his/her (I-140) application is approved. (Technically, I-140 is the real application for employment based green card. It makes sense for allowing applicant to file for AOS application (I-485 for personal information). this is justifiable with the current USCIS practice as USCIS doesn't approve his/her green card even if his/her PD ( Priority Date) is current unless they have visas to allocate for the case, so it should make prefect sense for 140 approved applicants to allow them to file for I-485)
Another thing is about huge EB backlogs for this broken system , that can be fixed temporarily by supporting and passing the recapture bill which allocates visas of those unused and wasted around 400K immigrant visas of last several years..

Can somebody answer this question of mine please.
If you are efiling it will automatically assign you the service center that you should be filing to. Better shoot for that to avoid any issues.

reality is, a contraction of US growth of this magnitude was never anticipated...there is strong fear of deflation!
its a do or die situation for immigrants. regardless of the visa status EAD , H1, L1, B1...or Z1.. the only hope of us to get a temp fix which helps the housing/eb crisis..
So your solution is to open a thread with new annonymous ID and blame all Telgus for your problems
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24064&page=5
I saw that you posted with your ID and then deleted it to avoid being caught. Now tell me who is fake?
Why dont you do something instead of blaming IV and Telgus

Have a lottery kind of thing where people contributing $200 or more enter a draw & someone wins a car.
Here we can remind people again that all other money will go towards eliminating retrogression efforts or to charity.
So in everyway the contributions would be worthwhile.
Just a thought!
(saw a similar promotion from people collecting money for constructing temple)

Hello,
I have a similar situation, but different factors. My labor has been approved May 2007 and I can apply for my 140 and 485 together and I'll do it now well before Aug 16. I'm getting married and my wife would be here by September or October. She'll be on H4. I won't be applying for my EAD if she decides to be on H4. If the dates go back to say 2005, I will need to wait for my priority date of May 2007 to come CURRENT again and then only do her AOS (I'm assuming until then even my 485 won't be touched by USCIS). Once my date becomes current and my application starts processing, I'll add her immediately.
Now the only thing I'd be missing in such a case would be applying for my EAD anytime soon. If she decides to apply for H1B next year or even go on
F1, then I can apply my EAD and start using it. I'll be on my EAD and she'll be on H1/F1. When my priority date becomes current (in a few years assuming), then I can add her AOS.
Please suggest what should I do now ??
Thanks

AC21 applies specifically to the time before you get GC. Even if you do use AC21, you should have the intention to stay with the employer you're with or the future employer (who submits an employment letter attesting they have a permanent job offer which is similar in scope in the LCA and I-140 petition) at the time of GC Approval.
The 90-day timeframe is sufficient to establish intent, as posted earlier.

If you already used AC21 then? how would you explain to IO. I think what matters is your explanation and there should be no reason for denial of citizenship if you are able to explain.

As I mentioned in my post, I had a resident Indian A/C - account that was opened when I was legally a resident Indian (salary a/c incidentally). No way it can be confused with one of N/RE/O accounts. I had INR in my account. It was wired over to my account here in the US, I got $s. Simple. If you look through the link that I posted, ICICI's instructions are quite clear - you can say family maintenance as a good reason.
As a couple of people commented in subsequent posts, it is straightforward to send money, INR to $.
I read somewhere that according to RBI rules an NRI is not supposed to maintain any regular account in INDIA. One can only ve NRO/NRE accounts.
You said yu got the money from the old account. Do you think it was all according to RBI regulations

4) Be positive in your attitude, improve your communication skills and dont act servile.
5) Most desis are hard working and responsible people - nothing should hold them back - not certainly the need for an image makeover.
All fellow desis take care and enjoy your life here - life is too short to be depressed about the green card everyday. Most important thing is you stay happy everyday - here or in India.

we can come up with many excuses that would easily fall under "emergent personal or bona fide business reasons" category.
I thought we must get ready with some reasons, when using AP to re-enter US. I have come up with some of my own that I may use:
1) Grandpa or Grandma is sick (most common reason, perhaps no body uses it as a reason anymore)(bona fide personal reason)
2) Land dispute (bona fide business reason)
3) Parents home need urgent repair (bona fide business reason)
4) Water shortage problem (bona fide business reason)
My Wife was had to go to India for a medical treatment. The cost of the treatment is much less then here in the US (also most of the health insurance dont cover it). She plans to go back in the next few months, Is that a valid reason?

Why do we even have to ask about Jul 2nd acceptance. I feel if you ask them they deliberately try to misguide you. Isnt the day Jul 2 a part of July month?? Since the previous July bulletin has be reinstated, in fact people who filed on Jul 2 should be at the top of the list in terms of getting receipt notices etc...

I tried the following a couple of days ago.
i got a letter from my company about my status and issue with retrogression, I took a printout of the webfax from the IV site and sent a certified mail to our state senators (i am from CA). I think this is better than a web fax, i am not sure if they even read the web fax. I havent received a response from them as yet, but i am sure i will. Others can try it too and see if they get a response.
I did this because a senior manager from my company got fed up with his visa process and returned to Canada last month. He was ROW EB3 when he started his process.
good response. we are all in this together and need to work together in order to get things done. IV is not just IV core but each and every member. each member should try to do something positive in order to help IV in whatever way theycan. - contributing money, help increase members, contact their local lawmakers and also contacting media. we need to raise awareness andevery small positive action done by an iv member helps in the overall scheme of things.

Guys!!!
No point in showing frustration. Its not our birth right. We all were well educated before we came in here. Situation changes. And system makes an adjustment. Dont blame your country( I am also from India), for no one asked us to move out. There are so many nice positions available to work for. More than 80% of us found here a better oppurtunity, because there were no competition at all in getting jobs. 1st come 1st serve.
So do not complain. They do not have any urgency to hand us over the GCs. We can only request them to do the needful on the basis of our sorry state of affairs. Again, we are still at their mecrcy.
So stop complaining. Either wait and support IV or boot out.
