For the August visa bulletin, USCIS gave all the extra quota to EB2. I don't think this is fair for all the EB3 people. I thougt the reason they gave all the quota to them was the EB2 included NIW. But NIW is just a small portion of EB2. Majority EB2 peopole are like EB3 working for companies and not necessarily important to give all the extra quota to them. If the policy continues, our EB3 will just become fake immigration. You don't know how long we can finalize our case. Gugs, please work together and let our voice to be heard by USCIS. Hope our organization can help us.

When they approve a case then status clearly says 'Case Approved'.
The email "we mailed the document to the applicant" may be anything or nothing, like if they transfer ur case to different service centre, they send a notice. Some time they don't send anything even though the email contradicts it. Keep checking the status, they might update it later if the case has been approved.
Also, for AP keep bugging ur attorney to see if they got it. For EAD, make sure your mail box has your name clearly, otherwise they won't deliver it.
Thanks for the thoughts. My EAD was approved last week and I already got it in mail.
I aske my attorney's office and they say "document mailed" means its approved. I dont know what to make of it, guess I'll just wait to see something in mail.

Application vs. Use of EAD or Advance Parole:
Applying for and obtaining approval of EAD or Advance Parole does not affect the 485 applicant's "nonimmigrant status" including H and L. However, once the alien starts work using an EAD or travels on Advance Parole, the alien is considered no longer in a nonimmigrant status including H and L.
I didn't know if we use AP we loose H1, any comments Seniors?

My friend Cyrus Mehta reports on a disturbing incident that occurred last week at Newark's international airport. Apparently CBP officers got hold of the new Neufeld memorandum on H-1B workers at third party work sites and decided to start applying it on their own. Aside from being contrary to established procedures for revoking visas, CBP officers made inappropriate comments and issued threats that cry out for some form of disciplinary action by DHS: It is then no surprise that the outrageous singling out of Indians since the New Year waiting in the line at Newark and other airports by CBP...

It is true that the community colleges(A) and Arizona board of regents(B) set the guidelines but they have to follow Arizona Statutes which state that people with lawful immigration status are entitled to instate tuition. Therefore if (A) and (B) are not on the same page one could raise questions.
I am providing below the statutes as well as what the Arizona Board of Regents say. It appears that the Board of Regents do not provide clarity on the issue. I think one could force the issue and demand that they be given instate tuition as provided by the Arizona statutes and Board of Regents Interpretation.
In fact GC Card Dream should file an appeal to the Board of Regents as provided in their policy. Adding that community colleges allow H-1B's to avail of instate tuition would help get a decision in your favor.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the Arizona law for instate tuition -
Here is the link to all the statutes -
http://www.azleg.state.az.us/ArizonaRevisedStatutes.asp?Title=15
Go to chapter 14 to see statutes for education -
The applicable statutes are -
15-1803. Alien in-state student status
.....................
B. In accordance with the illegal immigration reform and immigrant responsibility act of 1996 (P.L. 104-208; 110 stat. 3009), a person who was not a citizen or legal resident of the United States or who is without lawful immigration status is not entitled to classification as an in-state student pursuant to section 15-1802 or entitled to classification as a county resident pursuant to section 15-1802.01.
........................
15-1805. Student status guidelines
A. The Arizona board of regents shall adopt guidelines applicable to all institutions under their jurisdiction that will ensure uniform criteria to aid the institutions in determining the tuition status of any student and that will establish uniform procedures for review of that status.
B. Community college districts shall adopt policies applicable to all institutions under their jurisdiction that will ensure uniform criteria to aid the institutions in determining the tuition status of any student and that will establish uniform procedures for review of that status.
---------------------------
Now here is the link to the Arizona Board of Regents
http://www.abor.asu.edu/1_the_regents/reports_factbook/residency.html
What is the resident status of immigrants, refugees and international students?
A noncitizen with a visa that prohibits establishing a domicile in Arizona during any portion of the durational period may not be granted resident status. Other noncitizens may qualify for resident status by meeting all requirements for residency outlined previously, or having been granted refugee status and meeting all other requirements for domicile.
---The above should be read with the definition of domicile in the statutes
15-1801. Definitions
In this article, unless the context otherwise requires:
....
3. "Domicile" means a person's true, fixed and permanent home and place of habitation. It is the place where he intends to remain and to which he expects to return when he leaves without intending to establish a new domicile elsewhere.
...............
and the actual Arizona Board of Regents policy as a pdf document
http://www.abor.asu.edu/1_the_regents/policymanual/chap4/chapter_iv.htm
4-102 Nonresident Tuition (PDF)
As required by A.R.S. �15-1803, a person who is not a citizen or legal resident of the United States or who is without lawful immigration status is not entitled to classification as an in-state resident.
I don't think the state is involved, but its the institution that makes its own set of rules. All the community colleges in the state of Arizona accepts both H and L status as proof of residency.

Thank you all for information. I confirmed with our lawyer one more time
here is the response
"It is the combination of her I-485 receipt and the EAD that demonstrate her current status of adjustment applicant. If the admissions people are confused they need to talk with their foreign student advisor who should be well versed in this stuff. She is no longer an F-1 and therefore not subject to any F-1 rules �
I guess it's up to the school to determine if they will allow her to finish her degree on AOS/EAD. some of you suggested ..school can make rules. We suggested to school that that other school do allow partial course load in certain situations. They say it may be true ..but they don't have that policy.
If they don't allow her..i don't see any option but to fork up 7-8K. It would be great if you can provide me an official document /link indicating she can study during AOS.
Do you see any problem if I say please go ahead and report it to INS ? I don�t see any problem as long as they allow her to finish her degree.

Hello -
As a Primary Applicant my GC was approved (EB-1) but for my wife's application I got an RFE. RFE - USCIS is asking for a VALID wedding certificate showing proof of a hindu wedding under hindu act (dont ask what I was doing or what my lawyer was doing while submitting 485)
Now I have about 28 days (total is 30) to respond to it. I have not rcvd. my GC but it has been approved and has been sent to production. My lawyer told me that as my GC has been approved my VISA is not good anymore. My wife was on dependent visa and so is my kid.
Now as my GC got approved.......my visa got cancelled...........my wife's & kids visa is invalid.............and we did not file for Advance Parole so we cant travel. On top of all this we dont have a wedding certificate.
Any suggestion to address this situation? I cant get a certificate without going back to India and I cant leave the country as If I do so I wont get to enter the country again. Even if somehow (on some legal basis) I can re enter I dont think my wife and kid will be able to re enter US.
If I dont produce evidence then my wife's application will be rejected putting her out of status.............gosh what a mess.....
ANY SUGGESTIONS FROM ANYONE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED. Murali please respond with any possibility which I can explore upon.
Thanks

whoa
I did not know it can be that bad
r u working in the USA now?
:confused:
yes I am working in the bay area.
Back in 2001/2002/2003 I have seen many friends having to return to India (from the bay area) because they could not get another job. All the desi consulting companies that everyone bashes so often? they are the saviours. They are typically the only ones who hire in those times. All the big companies will have hiring freeze's and massive layoffs.
Its already started in the US (Sprint:4k, Lehman Bros 1300, Motorola 7500+1600, applied-materials 1000) but this is the mere tip of the iceberg.
Its starting from the financial sector:
http://news.google.com/news?q=%22cut+jobs%22&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS230US230&um=1&sa=N&tab=in
but will probably spread all over.
The real mess will start in Q3 (thats when we'll know if we are really sunk or some last minute stimulus is goign to keep this recession short and quick). Most probably this time its going to take much longer than 2001/2002 to recover. Back then the dollar was strong, there was a huge fiscal surplus and inflation was not a risk. This time none of those things are there and stimulating the economy is going to take much much longer. Also, to an extent in 2001/2002 it was only tech that imploded. The rest of the economy (& consumers by extension who are the main drivers of the economy) was ok. This time its widespread, consumers across the board are hit.
The July VB was a huge blessing in disguise for lots and lots of people who will be able to maintain status even if they are jobless for a few months. Back in 2001/2002/2003 the option was to be out-of-status of return home. Many chose the latter. This time they can atleast get a job offer from a desi consulting company and keep looking for some consulting gig.

You must have noticed that in any society, the extremely rich or the extremely poor do not follow any rules while the 'middle class' follows all the rules and gets screwed. :(
So it shouldn't be surprising that we are getting this 'mad' deal after years of following rules. Am not justifying it but that's the sad reality and we live with it every day. We need to do our best to try to change it. Try keeping your spirits high.
In addition, it could be that the U.S. is slowly becoming a land where 'unskilled' workers are more valuable since they already have a pool of adequate 'high skilled' workers in addition to many of the 'high skilled' workers living overseas (due to outsourcing). So what seems unfair to us maybe the harsh reality on the ground. Maybe, they don't want this additional pool of 'high skilled' workers anymore. We may be living under the wrong assumption that 'high skilled' workers deserve a better chance in the U.S.

Absolutely. Assuming your I-140 is approved/approvable and will not be withdrawn, you will be able to AC21 to your new position after 180 days of I-485 pending. And the best thing, it will only depend on similarity of the job, and no ability to pay questions. Good luck!
