We filed 2 - 485 applications for each of us(One is primary in one set(Husband) and the other one is primary as second application(wife)). Both of our lawyers said it is ok to file like this. Once we get the 485 approval in few years we have to withdraw the sencond application.

Please share the information with everybody. I am also in same situation.
Thanks

Moved from GC sponsoring company A to a different employer B using H1B transfer (expenses paid by me).
Now I see that the market is so bad and there are no contracting calls. The only calls that I get is for full time. And I do not know if they would give me a offer letter that is specified in my labor (which is different than what I work).
I am trying to asses the risk of using EAD compared to staying on h1(after spending so much money for transferring).
Please provide your thoughts of using EAD.
Thanks

I think she is ok, getting an H1-B approval doesn't mean that you have to start immediately. for e.g, many of the Indian tech companies get an H1-B at the start of the year and when they have a need for that person in US, send him/her over.
Only after her first payroll would she be considered on H1-B.
These opinions are as per my understanding, please correct me if I am wrong.

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/flag_CNMI.gifAll immigration law attorneys must deal with foreign countries, unique international legal issues, and some quaint interpretations of law. The lawyers at Los Angeles' Fong & Chun are no exception, and in fact, this recent change affects some of our clients who do business in or own businesses in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI).
On 28 November 2008, "the United States" as defined for purposes of the Immigration & Nationality Act (INA) just got bigger, with the addition of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Although there are probably wrinkles I have not yet read in the treaty, this essentially puts the CNMI on the same footing as Puerto Rico. Here's the cute part:
Because the CNMI will become part of the "United States" as defined by �101(a)(38) of the INA, "residence or presence in the CNMI before 28 November 2009 shall NOT be considered residence or physical presence within the USA for INA purposes. Thus, on 29 November 2009, all persons physically present in the CNMI are considered "to be present in the United States without inspection, by operation of law."
Will these PWIs (present without inspection) be eligible to adjust status? Unclear? Are they working "abroad" for purposes of L visas? Yes, as it turns out. One thing is clear: Legal Permanent Residents (so-called "green" card holders) who wish to base a naturalization application based on physical presence in the CNMI will NOT be able to do so for pre-29 November 2009 periods of time. Isn't this esoterica fun? --jcf

If you are eligible for EB1, file I-140 now. EB1 is always current in every VB. No need to port EB3 PD. For EB1, no need for Labor process; direct I-140 filing.
Hi,
I am currently working on EAD, having invoked AC21 once in the past. My labor was filed in 2005 under EB3 (I was eligible for EB2, but my company filed it under EB3, as per their policy). I filed 485 during July 2007 fiasco and am currently working on EAD.
My job qualifies for EB1 now and few of my peers have got Green Card under EB1. Can I port my filing from EB3 to EB1? Would it be better to do it with current employer or with a new employer? Pl. advice.
Thanks

I am on F-1 visa since Jan 2007. and got started my OPT in August 2009. I have on campus income through out the year in 2009. so how do I file the taxes, n which forms. for tax return 2009.
also I got married to a F-1 student in Jan 2009. She is also having her OPT started in August 2009. She has income only on OPT (from Aug to Dec 2009) so which forms she should also file.
my wife did paid her college fee in Jan 2009. and we have paid the rent through checks on leased apt.
So can she/we ask for deduction of any kind?

If both of you having 1098 forms from school you can file for Hope-credit (each gets $2500 credit, thats huge amount :) ). You cannot show the Apt. on tax form.

'I can sooo clearly remember when we just got started off, and we had only couple threads on our forums. We had only 6-8 members.
We were posting stuff on the forums just to get some content out there so people can see some activity. Hard to believe we have close to 600 threads now.
This is something everyone should be proud of'

Hi,
I'm in H1B visa and my visa was valid until 26th October , 2012. Recently, I went Bangladesh and US embassy stamped visa until October 23, 2011. When I returned US, Immigration office issued me I-94 validity until September 23, 2011. Now how long I can stay in US?? Do I need to apply for H1B visa extension or I will go to Canada or Mexico to apply for new visa or if I go to Canada or Mexico and return back, they will issue me a new I-94 until Sep/Oct 2012. Any one please suggest what should I do?
Your stay is legal until your I-94 specified date. You can get it resolved by INS or go out of US and reenter (which may turn out to be faster). And this time while entering make sure Immigration officer puts right date on your I-94.

As you can see for my profile my labor cert was filed in Dec 2002 and I am Eb3 India. So all these years I have been assuming my priority date for I485 processing as Dec 2002. But now it seems there is a problem.
There have been two I-140 filings for me - first the original one which has the correct priority date of Dec 2002. Later on the company was acquired and the new company filed a successor of interest I-140 in Aug 2007. This I-140 was approved in March 2008. I have copy of this 2nd I-140 and didn't pay attention to the priority date printed on this I-140. To my dismay the priority date mentioned on the Aug 2007 approved I-140 is Aug 2007.
I wanted to find out what was the priority date in USCIS records and I called the 1-800 number. They asked me to meet the local USCIS office so took the Infopass this morning. The local San Jose USCIS office says that they would take the Aug 2007 as the priority date :( and have told me to contact my attorney.
As you can imagine I am quite devastated. Has anybody been in the same situation where the priority date on I-140 was different from Labor filing date? How did you get it corrected.
Thanks

U.N. Begins Meeting to Discuss Atlanta Labor Certification, Work Conditions in Cambodia
BSNewswire.com
The International Labor Organization (ILO) of the U.N. kicked off a four-day regional meeting in Stockholm Tuesday aimed at improving working conditions worldwide.
"Atlanta Labor Certification (ALC) and the situation in Cambodia remain the most pressing issues we are facing today," Swedish Labor Minister Nils Freivalds, the meeting's chairman, told participants. The participants are expected to endorse The “Missing Application Statue”, a memorial aims at educating the public worldwide about the Atlanta LC tragedy of August 07, when hundreds of thousands of applicants and their families were practically prohibited from applying to permanent residency and gaining labor portability. Those victims might have to wait for several years to get another chance. Atlanta shelved their LC applications for times ranging from 2 months to 2 years while the LC applicants at Chicago where getting results in 2-8 days.
“This statue is created to remind us of what has happened and what could occur if we forget the past. May the tens of thousands of applicants in Atlanta and their families always have a place in our hearts. And may their suffering not be in vain.” said Freivals.
This is the second time a UN agency interfere in an issue related to Atlanta Labor Certification. The first time was in May 2007 when the General Assembly voted to prevent the usage of the term “Atlanta Processing” referring to extremely slow and inefficient systems. The term was considered very cruel and inconsiderate toward the victims and their families.
