Nice work. Not completely centered, the water draws your eye all the way through the photo, the texture of the rocks makes the negative space some interest.
I like it.

You can do Info pass and ask for both. Alternatively, you can try calling USCIS when your priority date is current and ask for this information. If you are lucky, they will tell you whether or not there are any security checks are pending. People noted that there are no LUD when NC gets through. On the other hand, if one has a FP and a couple of days later there is a LUD on I485, that often means FP cleared. Remember that FP and NC are completely separate tasks.

1. March 31 , 2008 - I am on H4 with I-94=12345..
2. June 27,2008 - H1 got approved with i-94=12345.. valid from 10/1/2008-9/23/2011.
3. Sep 10, 2008 - I enter US on h4 with i-94=abcdef.....
4. Oct 1 , 2008 - Ideally (as confirmed by USCIS, immigration lawyer) , I-94=12345.. should have been in system (become active) and status changed to H1.
But it didn't happen and I-94=abcdef... is active.
Questions:
1. What is my status from Oct 1, 2008 - Dec 31, 2008? H1 or H4.
Since my h1 status was not in system, i didn't get any SSN & hence no paystubs.
2. What is the safest & quickest way to get my h1 status active in system..
a) Stamping in Canada - Quickest for me. Is it safe ?
b) Get status changed without getting out of country? - But how?
c) Stamping from Home country? -- Last option.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
AG

This is a bit of a convoluted question, so I'll start at the beginning. In 2005 my husband(UK citizen, I'm a US citizen) was arrested for domestic violence. At that time, he had been overstaying his visa waiver for about 9 months, as we had been meaning to file his request for permanent residency, but had been lazy and put it off. Anyway, since he overstayed, USCIS took him to a detention center, where he stayed for about a month, and one day they just told him he was going home, they bought him a plane ticket, and sent him on his way. He never received any papers of any kind, all that happened was that his A-number was written in his passport. One of the agents told him he'd have a 3 year ban, another told him it would be 10 years. So, anyway, it's 4 1/2 years later, and we've started trying to find out when he could possibly re-enter, just to visit(we both live in the UK now, but still have family in the States). From what we read, we realized that maybe he wasn't actually technically deported. We called EIOR and found out that his A-number isn't in their system, so obviously he wasn't actually deported. The woman there said it sounds more like an expedited removal. We tried asking ICE what the length of his ban is, and they said we'd have to file a FOIA to find that out. So, until we do that, we're going with the working theory that it's a 5 year ban, since that seems to be what you get for expedited removals. Anyway, if it does turn out to be a 5 year ban, he'd be able to return in a few months, which would be awesome, but we're wondering what the chances of getting approved for a B-2 are. Also, assuming they let him visit, what are the chances of him ever getting a spouse visa, so we could one day move back to the US? Thanks!

Congrats! Shortest journey.
On the way to get your GC in about 3 months?!?!?
So this reduced your GC wait period from "uncertain or 15 years" to 3-5 months Max!
What a change!

Q38: Where should an employment-based adjustment of status application be filed if the underlying I-140 petition remains pending with USCIS?
A38: Forms I-485 may be filed at either the Nebraska Service Center or the Texas Service Center in accordance with the Direct Filing Update issued June 21, 2007, regardless of where the pending I-140 was filed. Applicants should submit a copy of the I-140 receipt notice or, if the applicant does not have a receipt notice, include a brightly colored sheet of paper on top of the filing with the following notice and information:
This is what USCIS has officially announced. However, this does not address to your concern clearly (it does not say USCIS will reject any I-485 application filed in any other service center other than NSC or TSC). Anybody has any further information on the original question?

Some 63,000 flights had been canceled in Europe by the end of Sunday, in the four days since the air space of northern Europe was shut down by an enormous ash cloud from an erupting volcano beneath the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland.
Passengers are scrambling to find alternative travel routes. German tourists are being bussed home from Spain, while the Royal Navy is sending military ships to Spain to bring home stranded Brits. Thousand of Europeans are also stuck in the US with no option to leave at this time. Many visitors are worried about the implications of not being able to leave before their current status expires.
Foreign nationals stranded in the U.S. because of the airport closures in Europe due to the Icelandic volcano eruption and who are about to exceed their authorized stay in the U.S. have two avenues for relief. If at an airport and traveling under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), they should contact the U.S. Customs and Border Protection office at the airport. They may also contact the local U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office. Both Department of Homeland Security agencies have provided their staff and offices with guidance on the applicable legal authorities under the VWP in circumstances such as this.
Persons traveling under a visa should contact the nearest USCIS office and follow the instructions below. While these instructions recommend initiating the process 45 days in advance, USCIS is providing reminder guidance on how to handle such cases until normal flights are scheduled between the U.S. and foreign countries affected by the Icelandic volcanic activity.
We keep monitoring the situation and will update our readers as we obtain more news.

H1 extension can be applied upto 6 months before the expiry of current H1.
If you haven't completed 6 years on H1, you can always extend it as usual.
If you have completed 6 years on H1B, you have to have one of the following to extend your H1B.
1. Labor/Perm was applied at least 1 year back
In this case, your H1 will be extended another year
2. I-140 is approved.
In this case, your H1B will be extended 3 years.
More than likely your I-140 will be approved before November 2009 if it is a reasonably clean case. ( USCIS I-140 processing time has come down drastically)
BTW you don't get an H1 automatically on your 140 approval, your company has to apply for it.
Hope this helps.

Hello Freinds,
I came to India on a vacation and went for a H1 stamping on 29th Dec at the Chennai consulate. I ended up getting the famous Pink 221G (Additional Admin Processing - AAP). I believe it is because of my muslim name (I am not a consultant or working for any consulting firm, full time employee with my comp's IT department, work for a reputed manufacturing company and done MS here in USA, been in USA for 9 years now, had previous F1, and H1 stampings).
The VO asked very basic questions (who is the employer, what they do, where did you go to school, what majors) and didn't take any of my documents except the D156, D157 & Employee letter. She said my visa is approved, however I will have to go through AAP and will have to wait for 4 to 12 weeks.
I am planning to wait till the end of January and if nothing moves ahead in my case, then go back to USA on Advance Parole (Based on the experience from other members who were stuck in 221G and who travelled back on AP), and come back to India once the 221G is cleared, and the consulate requests to send Passport.
One of my personal concerns about this approach, does the consulate consider my visa applicaton abondoned if they find out that I have already entered US (using AP)? and will it have any issues in the future with my pending AOS?
Has anyone gone through this similar situation (that they travelled on AP while H1 is in 221G status) and got successful stamping after the consulate has requested to send the Passport.
Anyone please share your experience in the above situation........
Also if am returning to USA on AP, do I have to show the I797, so the Immigration officer puts the expiration date on the I94 as the date on the I797
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

My wife'e H1B expires on Feb 2007 and she still has not applied for H1B renewal as she was on maternity leave. She will do so in first week of November. It looks like H1B extension process takes more than 3 months. Virginia is one of the states which just gives ur Driver license till ur H1B validity. So her license is valid till feb 2007. Would like to know if she can get her license renewed in Feb 2007 with a H1b receipt number or should she do Premium processing of her H1B. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I doubt they will extend it. They will just look at I 797 and see if the name and expiry date. How ever call Identity Services (dont remember the division's name exactly) @ 804 367 0064 and explain your situation. They are the folks that generally issue a letter for H4 visa holders who do not have a I 797. They will take atleast 1 month to send the letter once they decide to do it. Start acting now! Good luck.

Hi,
I got married in 2008, but my wife came with me to the US in Dec 2009. I got married while my I485 was pending due to priority date backlog. I understand that I can add her to my I485 application when my priority dates are current (Jan 17 06). My questions are:
1. How many days do I have to file after my priority dates are current (in case I do get my green card in the interim)?
2. She being a non-Australian born Australian citizen can legally work in this country on a special E3 visa. But I am not sure whether she can be added on my green card application while working on the E3 visa? If thats not possible, the only 2 ways she can work and be added o GC is to apply for H1b (probably not available till October '10) or wait till my priority date is current, file for I485 and EAD and wait for that?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help regarding this.

The Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) issued an August 20, 2009 press release, reporting a decline in offers of admission from U.S. graduate schools to prospective foreign students. This is the first decline in the rate of offers to foreign students since 2004.
While these significant reductions affected the overall decline in foreign student enrollment, the number of offers of admission to students from the People's Republic of China grew at a rate of 13 percent. The CGS press release indicates that this was the fourth year in a row of double-digit growth in the number of students from China offered admission to U.S. graduate schools.
With the up coming biggest education Expo in China (http://www.phdchina.org/english/index.shtml), the US is the country of Honour at this show. This is a clear sign that Chinese students are looking at the US as the main destination for studies and future opportunities.
There is a significant economic contribution made by foreign students in tuition and related expenditures, as well. Generally, a foreign student is required to pay tuition at the much higher out-of-state rate, even when attending a state school. The potential of Chinese students boosting the economy is significant and should not be ignored. Even Consular officers realize this factor and student visa (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137176.html) issuance to Chinese students has increased by 40% according to a recent survey.
