I think your lawyer is screwing you. $7,500 just for labor certification.I know, my lawyer is not cheap, but as a result we were able to file i-485 2 months before my son turned 21. It was big relief for our family.
Also she is very good in communication - I have copy of all documents, including I-140 approval and I-485 submission (around 3 inches of paper :) )

NSC is like a lottery station. You have no idea when your petition will get adjudicated. Forget the dates. There are only two categories; lucky and unlucky. Lucky guys get out in one year. Unlucky guys stuck for three or four years.
As of now, they are concentrating all the resources towards approving as many Naturalization petitions as possible. Say, 70-80% of their resources are concentrated on that process. They are under tremendous pressure from politicians to get as many new voters for upcoming November elections as possible.
Hiring new staff and training them is going on but you will not see the results until January or February 2009. Apparently, these agents will have to go through thorough FBI check before selected for training. As usual, it met with few bureaucratic delays. They are at least 7 months behind their target in hiring new staff.
Remember, this same agency released "Strategic Vision" report in 2004, where they proclaimed to adjudicate I-140s in 180 days and eliminate backlogs before the end of Bush's presidency. Wow! what an efficient implementation of the "Strategy". Soon, they will come up with a "New Vision", which will get blurred within days. Story repeated.
So, EB guys, forget about our I-140s and 485s for a while. They will crawl, atleast until October end.
More over, what you are dealing with is the most inefficient and callous agency in the US government. Since this agency does not deal directly with US citizens, very rarely they will have to answer anybody, unless they screw up big time.
There are only two things that get you green card; patience and luck.
Good luck to all of us.

My inputs may not help you , but I am posting it so that it could prevent others from making this mistake..
If spouse has EAD and AP, then using of EAD will not abandon H4 status nor it will jeoperdize the GC applicant H1b status.
A safe bet for dependet is to use EAD instead of getting H1b and going thru all stamping coplications. Being a spouse of GC applicant has lots of advantages...:D.
Now coming to your question, I think you should not depend on this forum for your solution. Contact a good attorney and take their advice.
Good luck..
We need experts advice in the following matter.
Here is my situation, I have entered US on H-4 and after sometime I have applied for H1(Change of status) through a consulting company. I have worked for this company for 3 months.

Sorry guys I am not the brightest bulb on the tree so I kinda missed the joke here. Are you saying that USCIS is giving away TVs and we should all watch TV instead of waiting for GC? Or are you suggesting that we should start selling tv to get gc?
If you clarify whether the TVs are color or black-and-white may be I will get the point?

We have to help ourselves.
I for one will not be surprised. These undocumented immigrants march in thousands at their rallies [even though they face chances of deportation]. They are active in talking to media and getting publicity for their cause. They are also more actively contributing to help their cause. They have very strong backers - Agri-business, fast-food chains, restaurant owners, construction business , and immigration attorneys [ who will make lot of money if Z-visa gets passed], strong ethnocentric groups with considerable political clout, and many of them have US citizen relatives [who vote]
On the other hand, support of many immigration attoneys to EB immigration is half-hearted, high-tech employers care more about increasing H1B quota. Like it or not - IV is the only organization that is 100% devoted to EB immigration and working for our cause. Given this reality, IV should have got full support monetary and participation from 25,000 strong community here. As we know, only a minority of the community are doing all they can to help IV achieve its goal.
If we are not doing enough to help our cause, what right to we have to blame others for not helping us? In a way, we do deserve the step-motherly treatment for all the lethargy our community shows in standing up for its issues, and demanding a solution.

As far as i know-----
Answer to Q#10 :
Country Of Birth drives priority date and not Naturalized Citizenship.
So, if you were born in India then your priority date goes by India PD no matter what citizenship you currently have.
Thanks,
Krishna
Thank you Krishna. The question really is whether my Labor/I-140 approvals as Indian citizen can be used to continue the GC (to file the I-485) after I change my citizenship. Would you know about that?
Or, if a new GC process is restarted with a new employer, can the old priority date be re-used in the new GC process after citizenship has changed?
Thanks.

Gurus,
July filer...
Here is my current situation
1. Entered US on H4. H4 is stamped on the passport until 2010.
2. Applied for EAD (July filer) and current using EAD for work
3. Will go to India this year end and planning to come back on the stamped H4.
Here are my questions
1. When I entered on H4, on the POE, the officer would have marked my status as H4. Now, I have used EAD...so currently I am on AOS pending status. How do they know this? Is this based on the I-9 that I have filled for the employer? But I9 form is retained by the employer unless requested by USCIS, so how does USCIS know that I am on EAD (AOS)?
2. When I go to India, I will surrender the I-94 that I received when I entered on H4. So when they tally their records, will they treat me like H4 leaving US or EAD (AOS) leaving US?
3. When I reenter US on H4, again my status will change to H4 right?
4. At this time I assume that the EAD card that I have is still valid (Not invalidated because I entered on H4 and not on EAD/AP. So, If I have to start working again, Do I need to fill the I9 form again for the same employer.
5. If I do not fill the I9 form, then how will USCIS know that I am working on EAD...which means that my status is AOS pending?
6. In my case, the primary applicant chooses to remain on H1. So if our I485 gets denied does this mean that I am out of status because I am using EAD or does it mean that I am fine because I entered on H4 and that is what they have in their record.
7. If I am out of status, can I file for a change of status to H4 or an extension to the previous H4 from US itself so that I continue to be in status�or do I have to leave and enter the country again?
Thanks in advance for your replies

Only my opinion, Janey, but since you are moving up I wud be looking to the future. Meaning, the D70 will be a great camera for you and then you'll be eventually experimenting and wanting different/better lenses.
Canon offers IMHO far more superior lenses and more choices.
The 300D or the 10D both Canon, would be my choice.
Ok, in defense of Nikon, how are Canon's lenses "far superior"? Yes, they have IS (VR) in long teles, and their wide T/S lens has a bit more flexibility. But say Janey wants to do some extreme macro photography? Yeah, Canon has the MP-E 65mm that goes from 1x to 5x, but it's expensive, and for the same cost (or less) one might be able to get a PB-6, enlarger lens, movie camera lens, 50mm lens, and various accessories to link them all together, and in the end have a much more flexible macro system.

the suspicious part was the "utter rascals"
lol u asked the question...i was politely restating it for others
Hmmm so what if I find your description "suspicious" because of the word "suspicious"? Me just stated facts buddy. Here is definition of rascal from online free dictionary:
ras�cal (rskl)
n.
1. One that is playfully mischievous.
2. An unscrupulous, dishonest person; a scoundrel.
I mean #2 here. Unscrupulous because they misuse the forum for ranting and bashing others, dishonest because they bash others they perceive as "bad" for their own GC while pretending to be in IV for everyone's good. Scoundrel, because because they operate on multiple ID's
Some are plain old #1, but they harm too.
So, this is my explanation why I used the words "utter rascals". Come on, now you can give me some greens, because it "helped" you to understand what I meant :p

Our cases are different - in my case both me and wife were primary and dependent on respective cases.
Did you file a derivative 485 for yourself based on your wife's application before it was approved?
I think your lawyer made a huge mistake of not filing a derivative 485 application for you beginning of September when her PD got current, this would have ensured you got tagged along with her application, mere letter to look at your case when your priority date (2001 eb3) is not current doesn't make any logical sense...
Keep the hope... on the bright side your PD is 2001. Best wishes and good luck!
