Hi, my husband was killed in a road accident. He was on J1 and had very good publications and this happened when we were just wanting to apply for our green card, as he had very good credentials we would have got it without any problems. We had dreams of sending our daughter to best school for her college. Now with life turning upside down, I am enrolled in grad school to work on my phd and will take a while, but with this tragedy being recent dont really know how long its going to take to complete it and how future would be.
I want to know if there is any possibility that I can apply for immigrant visa on humanitarian grounds as it would be very difficult for me to live in India my home country due to social reasons as a widow with a little daughter.

USCIS has released an instructional video for citizenship applicants here (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=76574bbe6cb97210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=d6369ddf801b3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60a RCRD). The 16-minute video provides an overview of the naturalization process including the eligibility requirements, the application process, preliminary steps, the naturalization interview, the English tests and the U.S. history and government test (civics). The video includes two simulated interviews between applicants and USCIS Officers.

I think I know the answer to this, but I just wanted to make sure from the experts on this forum.
Do we need to apply for new EAD/AP if we change jobs using AC21 even if the current EAD/AP (approved when working for the GC sponsoring employer) are valid for almost 10 more months?
I think that EAD/AP are not dependent/tied to the employer.
Am I right gurus?

Folks,
My GC was applied with employer A in Nov-2005. 485 applied during July 2007 fiasco. Even though I have EAD/AP, I have always maintained H1B status.
Recently got H1B transferred to employer B and its approved for 3 years.
My H1B visa (from employer B) will expire this month.
Can I make a trip to India and re-enter using AP, and still maintain H1B status?
I dont want to go through the hassle of going for H1B visa stamping for 10th to 12th year.
Thanks in Advance.

Hello IVians,
I am not fully aware of all the benefits of having EAD after filing 485. If you have the knowledge about it could you please list down it in this thread.
Thanks.
as of now it lets the spouse to start working.. & then the not too fancy AC21 portability.. Advanced Parole for trvael outside the US etc..
in terms of GC its just another waiting phase..
EAD - Enter Another Delayed process....

Hi All,
My employer has filed for ETA 9089 and it is approved. I am paying for the green card processing. Before applying for I-140 he asked me to sign a memorandum which states that I am bearing the complete expenses of the process (filing fees of I-140 , I-485 and $500 extra) . It also states that I need to be with the company for 6 months from the time green card is approved. In case I leave the company prior to 6 months for whatsoever reason, I need to pay $15000 as damaging charges to company.
He says that signing this memorandum is mandatory otherwise he will not file I-140.
My questions is , Is it legal to bind an employee to these conditions and ask processing fee to file Green card ? Also are these documents valid from legal perspective ?
Please let me know your thoughts on this. Appreciate it.
Thanks,
Raj

Hey pom,
I will do that! What font do you want the spinning F in? The more angular the font (arial, verdana, etc.) the smaller the file size :)

Hello,
I'd like to know can a dependent (not the prime applicant) on a pending 485 status, avail unemployment insurance, especially the extended benefits which are being given by Federal govt. to the states.
This is the latest from USCIS : Pls copy paste the entire link
http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/New%20Structure/Press%20Releases/2009%20Press%20R
eleases/Oct%202009/public_charge_fact_sheet.pdf
it says, that unemployment compensation is not public charge.
Does it even apply to both standard unemployment insurance and the extended benefits.
thanks

I have the same situatation and called them numerous times. They say they will honour the actual date that is written on the receipt and not on the web site. When you call USCIS, you have to tell them that your receipt date is different than what is displayed on the web stie.

Hello Attorney`s
I am in a weird situation here, I was Laid off on July 21st with pay in lieu until 4th August. I had applied for Change of Status to F2 (my wife is on F1) on 17th August. On 31st August I got a job offer and applied for H1B transfer to USCIS on 8th September (using 15th august paystub as the latest).
At the same time i filed to USCIS to revoke my F2 application.
Today I got a notice from USCIS that my application for change of status to F2 is approved as of 09/21/2009.
Now, I dont know what to do, does it mean I am now on F2? Is my H1B transfer application still valid or I need to apply again this time on premium processing.
What should be my next course of action. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks so much..!!
Have a great day..!

Hi all,
I am in a strange situation-- I have 2 different PDs.
1) PDs on my I-140 is listed: June 30, 2005 (which became current as of 2/11/2011)
2) I recently discovered a different PD listed on the Request for Initial Interview Notice (for my pending I-485). There is a Priority Date box on this notice letter, and date listed is Aug 16, 2007.
Biometrics done Nov2007
Initial Interview done June 2010
FingerPrint done August 2010
Currently on 3rd EAD
Nationality is Taiwan
Current status: AOS pending
I am torn and confused because 2 PDs are 2 years apart. Does any one have the same issue like me? What should I do??? Which PD is the correct one I should go with?? Please help! Thank you so much in advance for your time.

Hai..
My OPT ends dec 08 and my H1 got selected in lottery but received RFE in Oct and case is still pending. Can I go for OPT extension right now as there is just 1 month time to file it?? Or should I go for premium processing of H1 and then go for OPT extension filing depending on H1 case result??
If I go for OPT extension right now even when H1 case is pending,
1)What happens to that OPT extension case if H1 gets approved?
2)What happens to that OPT extension case if H1 gets rejected?
Help me..
thanks...

I agree with Henrik. Great color. Where'd you take this?
Thanks - I took this walking along a railroad bed that is no longer in use. I must have chased 10 of these things around before I finally got this one that would hold still long enough to get a descent shot.
