The USCIS will send you a summons for your fingerprints. You will have to go to wherever they mandate. The fingerprints only have a fifteen month validity.
The medical exams are usually a two day event. One day to do the exams and then they write up the report when they get your blood work results from the lab.
While you are waiting you can work on developing the patience of Job.
You must arrange a Birth Certificate from your country if you do not have one. Sometime it could take a while.

Its a classical case of too many people and very few visa#. Every one has a valid point
1) One group says I have oldest PD I am waiting since 8 years so I need to get GC
2) Second says I have a better category (EB1 & EB2) so I need to be given preference
3) Third group says I was qualified for EB2 but company & lawyer pushed me to EB3
4) Fourth group Say I have MS PhD from US so preference is mine
Actually all 4 have valid justification but the # are so few that you pick one point and you hurt other groups. So conclusion is Admin fix will only help one interest group but it is possible. Immi reform will help everyone but is difficult/ impossible

Hi ,
My I140 approved with priority date in November 2007. My wife works for American Vendor and her 6th year on H1B would be over by October 2012. Her company is not willing to initiate GC process. Right now her job is going smooth and could go for little longer. I wanted her to continue till mid of next year and then look for H1B transfer with immidiate GC process. Now the question, Is there any rule that we should start PERM 365 days before end of 6th year? Because I heard that we should file Labor in 5th year (365 days before). I am kind of confused... Please clarify this , I really appreciate it.
Regards.

"It has also come to my attention that USCIS began returning visa numbers to the State Department as early as Thursday, July 5, 2007, due to their inability to review applications effectively."[/SIZE]
http://lofgren.house.gov/PRArticle.aspx?NewsID=1810
So is it possible that the following was USCIS' plan all along in a bid to (1) force applicants to pay the higher fees and (2) reduce the number of applications they would receive. So let's try and see where USCIS or DOS acually broke the law. BTW, the following is pure speculation on my part.
1. DOS makes all categories current in the visa bulletin dated June 12.
2. This screws up USCIS's plans. So they have to force the DOS to issue a revision before July 1st.
3. USCIS frantically starts requesting visa numbers. Even for 485s with pending FBI checks.
4. Come July 2nd, USCIS still hasn't used up all the 60,000 or so numbers, but still informs DOS that all visa numbers have been exhausted.
5. DOS publishes a revised visa bulletin dated July 02 where everthing becomes unavailable.
6. USCIS acts on DOS revised visa bulletin and decides to reject all I-485s filed on July 02 and beyond.
7. July 05 onwards, USCIS starts returning the numbers to DOS. This could be for applications that have pending FBI checks.
8. DOS now decides to use some caution before issuing August bulletin. They will probably not make all categories current, but will probably shift them by a few months based on June bulletin.
9. USCIS now gets all new applications with higher fees and a reduced number of applications.
Please add to this sequence of events if you think I missed anything.
IMHO, USCIS broke the law in #4. And DOS broke the law in #5 if it was aware that visa numbers were still being issued as of July 02.
Thanks,
Jayant

Subkamnaa & Congrats friend. My PD is earlier than urs - Oct 05 . No LUD on mine. What is the July fiasco .
My PD is already current as of now. But there is no movement on my appl - but its just few days past its current status. I am on EB2 with PD of Oct 05 and Serv Center is NE where I got Labor and 140 approved.
Now I am no longer in that state because my project got over in NE. I am working in CA since 08 and filed 485 from CA .
Is there something that if I am in CA a different state from where I initially filed labor - it can cause RFE.
Quite honestly, I do not know the implications of filing 485 in CA when ur labor is from midwest. May be gurus in this forum might help you on this...
July fiasco is July 07 VB, where they made everything current and got swamped by the 485s. They initially withdrew the VB, but with pressure from all quarters including the prospect of lawsuits, they honored the initial VB so that everyone who could, was able to file 485..

In light of nyte-crawler's post above on the conference process, the Pence proposal seems to be debated in GOP circles. If the conference is annouced, we'll see something like the Mike Pence plan emerge. That is why Border hawks like Tancredo vehemently oppose this...
http://www.teamamericapac.org/
I bet intense pre-conference talks are going on...
The only tlk that are being held is how to get to avoid the blue slip. How to get the revenue section be first included in a HR bill. till that is solved nothing is going to happen.....

my wife filed on may 29th, soft lud on june 6th and fp done on june 21st. no updates/luds after the one on june 6th.
my wife called them last friday and opened a SR.. we'll see if that helps.. i think we will go ahead and schedule infopass as well..
dunno what's going on..
I got the CPO email just now.. i'm not sure if it's because of the SR that my wife opened on Friday evening or it just happened without that.. but anyways it's a relief now.. i also see a lot of people getting cpo emails today.. btw, just curious, does the cpo stage come before "approved" status or after it?
now hope that i receive the card in time.. will post about its validity and start date once i receive it. (i'll be current for the month of September as my pd is july 06)
good luck to others who are waiting and hope that they get cpos soon

I am wondering if someone could please clarfiy whether the beneficiary can pay the fee for the H1 B petition and the fee for the lawyer involved in filing the petition.
I filed my first H1B through a University. I paid the fees for H1B extension in 2002. I wrote the check to USCIS.
A lawyer was not involved.

I have a BC which is issued on 2004. Do I still need 2 affidivits? My Lawyer didn't ask me to gather affidivits. Any thoughts on that?
Did anybody filing through FDBL? Any idea how long they are taking to file once they have all the documents and papers?
Thanks!
This is just my lawyers opinion, If the BC was issued/date of birth registered is after 1 year of birth, 2 affidavits are required.
Also, getting a affidavit made is fairly simple as it does not involve any governmental agency. It is a good idea to notorize it and have it on a cheap stamp paper.

Someone mentioned that all vaccines except for Hepatitis B can be completed in 2 days...Hepatitis B takes 6 months. My PD has become current and I haven't had my medical examination yet. I have to take Hepatitis B since don't have immunization records from India.
Does this mean that I can't apply for my I-485 for the next 6 months until I am done with all my Hepatitis B shots?
Thanks,
Jayant

lawyers/paralegals:
http://money.cnn.com/2004/10/14/news/economy/lawyer_outsourcing/
a lot of companies are already getting their patent filing work done by attorneys and paralegals abroad. Wont be too long before your I-485 filing is also prepared from outside the US :)
True. They are already preparing tax returns from India. I've heard of some tax preparers (competition to H&R Block) who have a VoIP phone and prepare tax returns by interviewing the tax filer. And they are lot more effective in getting a return. A small correction to AmericanDesi's observation that EB1 is for Ph.d . You don't need a formal Ph.d for EB-1. If you have demonstrable extraordinary ability which will benefit the US government and people, you come under that category. This usually requires 40+ peer reviewed publications in International Journals in your area. It isn't that easy buddy getting in under EB1 if you think that all you have to do is to be in school for 5 years and submit a thesis at the end of it. And it is getting tougher and tougher to get in under EB1 as they are scrutinized more.

Same with me!
My children have grown up and are on the verge of aging out, while I am still fighting to find avenues for a new green card application. Jobs are not permanent in the US. Layoffs are a common thing. The immigration processes take much longer than the life of a job. Many people like me end up with unfinished and abandoned immigration process. At the end of 6 years we are able to obtain H1-B visas one year at a time. Provided there is a pending I-140 process. What happens if a I-140 application is denied because of some faulty representation or your employer decides to lay you off?
My question to the senate is. Is this fair? Was it foolish off me to have maintained a legal status and spent so much money for nothing? Perhaps if people like me would have remained in the United States illegally without paying taxes, I might have saved a lot of money and would have been able to apply for a non-immigrant status for a very small fee.
My suggestion to the Senate is:
1. Pass a legislation that protects Legal immigrants who have lived in the United States beyond 6 years, but have been unable to obtain an immigrant status for one thing or the other. Or an H1-B non-immigrant who have come to the country before �9/11� and have stayed in the country through the recession; paid taxes; but because of constant layoffs and half finished immigration processes should be rewarded in this bill. Proofs that immigration processes had been initiated but abandoned because of job changes.
2. Children of Legal non-immigrants who have finished 6 years of stay in the US and are aging out, should be protected, because the state has spent tax money on their education and they have adjusted to a life style and system which will benefit the country. They should not be penalized for no fault of theirs.
3. Children and spouses of H1 Non-immigrants who are educated and can work should be given the opportunity to do so. This way many will legally work and pay taxes. It is a great burden on a single H1-B non-immigrant to be the sole earning member in a family. Currently a dependent of a H1-B is not permitted to work.
4. An I-485 process of immigration should not be cancelled if a pending I-140 is denied. This should be made available once again to the applicant and his or her family if a I-140 process is re-applied within 6 months. It is unfair to make the family file for a I-1485 process once again with additional fees, medical tests, finger printing, work authorization and so on. If a I-1485 has to be reapplied, it means the family has to wait for endless years ahead to wait for their immigration numbers for their country to be available once again.
5. H1-B non-immigrants are educated people who are already here because there is a shortage of manpower in that category. I personally do not see the need for a Labor certification once again to see if there is a shortage in that particular area. H1-B employees go through these process initially before their H1-B�s are approved. These people who have been here for more than 6 years already know the system and can contribute to the country. They do not take away jobs of local people.
6. A Non-immigrant who has purchased a house in the United States has already taken the first step of naturalization. They put their money here. They do not take money out of the country. I believe they should be rewarded with a non-immigrant quota/status. This will bring a phenomenal real estate boom in the country and a welcome change to the economy.
