I am requesting some expert answers -
Recently had family-based AOS interview with the USCIS (my wife is a naturalized citizen). One question was asked by the officer - "Did I travel outside US after filing the AOS?" and my answer "Yes - to Canada for few days - by car".
I traveled to Canada on my company�s H1B.
The officer explained that once you file you Marriage based GC the only way you can travel is on Advance Parole. Travel on H1B is possible as long as the H1 and the AOS is of the same employer. In my case the AOS was family-based and the travel was on H1B. Such a travel may be considered to be abandonment of the Family based GC process.
The officer was extremely helpful in providing us information and said he needed more time to go through my case and decide on approval/denial of my case after consulting with other officers/supervisors (I130 looks good for approval) but there is a possibility (he said) that I may have to re-file the I-485 but there is a possibility that I may be approved.
He told he is waiting on some papers which is in some other State and that will take some time (not sure what papers was he talking about)
He also said that he will also look into my employer-based GC and see if he can approve that case if possible? Well, I am not sure about that as my priority date is SEP 2004 (EB3). This he said will save me some money of not re-filing and also instead of 2yr conditional GC (marrige is less than 2yrs) I will be able to get 10 yr GC. He took a copy of my I-140 receipt.
Now, I have a full-time offer from a company and not sure what to do? What if I use my Family-based EAD - that will invalidate my employer based pending AOS - correct? And what if my Family-based I485 gets denied due to abandonment while on the EAD - is the EAD still valid or is it valid only after re-filing the I485?
Any suggestions?

I got laid off recently.
Now got job with 2 companies. 1 small and 1 big. 3 questions:
(1) Should I select based on my salary? Big company offers more salary.
(2) I have to now start Greencard again. So should I choose big company or small ? Both said they will consider sponsoring if performance is good.
(3) If I transfer H1B Is Big company likely to get RFE or small?

Ask yourself this question. Are your air miles worth more to you than getting your green card?
There may be some members who will make it to the event if they get their tickets sponsored. While we can sit all day and talk about the reasons they should pay for their own tickets, lets keep that aside and get something done. At least they are willing to come if someone sponsored their tickets.
To help these folks, donate your air miles. This will help to sponsor their tickets and make the advocacy day a success. it will move you closer to getting your green card.
If you are willing to trade your air miles to get your GC sooner by resolving all the current issues, go RIGHT NOW and post your intention in the thread to donate your air miles. It is worth it.
It does not matter how many miles you have, whatever you have, donate it today.
Donate your miles and help yourself. DONATE NOW.

with experience you gain not only technical skills required to do your job, but also you gain project management experience. To be successfull in consulting world, you need to have strong project management skills and people management skills that come with experience... At least that's what I see in my company - one of the "big- four" firms (accounting, assurance and advisory services). Hope that helps

For the second time, a federal judge has declared a Farmers Branch ordinance banning illegal immigrants from renting in the city to be unconstitutional. Here are excerpts from a Dallas Morning News (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/localnews/stories/DN-FBsuit_25met.ART.Central.Edition1.4c77c2c.html) article reporting this decision:
U.S. District Judge Jane Boyle of Dallas ruled Wednesday that the ordinance was an attempt to enforce U.S. immigration laws – something the judge said only the federal government can do.
The judge also issued a permanent injunction to stop Farmers Branch from enforcing Ordinance 2952.
Mayor Tim O'Hare, the driving force behind the ordinances, said he wants to appeal.
"The American people are tired of judges legislating from the bench," he said. "This decision is not unexpected but welcomed, because it allows us to get closer to this ordinance becoming reality."
But O'Hare said the City Council would have to vote on whether to continue a fight that has cost the city nearly $3.2 million since September 2006. And the city may need to spend an additional $623,000 in legal fees in the year ahead, city finance director Charles Cox said Wednesday.
About one-quarter of the estimated 30,000 people who live in Farmers Branch were born outside the United States. About 47 percent of the city's population is Hispanic.
In the past four years, the city has proposed a series of ordinances that would make it illegal for landlords to rent to illegal immigrants. A version approved by the council in 2006 was repealed in early 2007 to make way for another ordinance.
That ordinance, No. 2903, was approved by two-thirds of voters in 2007 but later declared unconstitutional by U.S. District Judge Sam Lindsay. The city abandoned an appeal of that ordinance in favor of Ordinance 2952. No. 2952 added all rental units, including houses, to the ban on renting to illegal immigrants.

My passport is expiring in March. I live in NY metro . Does anyone knows the procedure to renew the passport while in the USA. Please share your experience.
You can go to this website and get all the needed info....
http://www.indiacgny.org/
Also, there were atleast 2 threads discussing PP renewals..You can do a search for those threads for renewal timelines...I think it takes them 2-3 weeks in NY Consulate to mail the new passport....You can go for tatkal service and get it issued the same day if you pay $90 extra....

I agree with you both on the points raised, but what particularly interested me was the stat below and also given that 'the labour market traditionally lags behind any wider economic recovery'.
" However, the number of people still on jobless aid after an initial week of benefits slid by 148,000 to 5.8 million in the week ended October 17. It was the lowest reading since March, hinting at some stability in the job market."
Bottomline is we are not in a L or U pattern( prolonged stagnation). Also given that the last quarter traditionally has a stronger retail growth due to the Holiday season, Whether it is a V or W shaped recovery is what remains to be seen.

Perhaps - if we show that India can benefit by 1 Billion $ worth of H1 folks Social Sec Contribution for India's development, might either US Govt commit to returning the money or make provision for quicker dispension of GC cases for H1 folks waiting for GCs... Kamal nath, Dayanidhi Maran are shrewd and savvy politicians unlike other folks who are equal to lalooos !
Folks,
RANCH 99 is a popular Chinese groceries visited by most chinese indeed in Silicon Valley _ Bay Area - This can be a sure shot for publicity for EB Retro Join the cause campaign among them.
Not sure if this is a good idea, 1. Either to put a English note on How chinese is affected because of EB Visa Retrogression ? and pass the website and email id to join ?
Or get a person to translate it into Chinese and put it up in Ranch 99 - Milpitas, berkley, Fremont, Sanjose ? Ranch 99 is a popular place among chinese network to buy vegetables and well networked among chinese !
I am assuming there must be similar network of Chinese Shops in other cities !. I am going to ask a few of my students from China to post it in their internal mail aliases for wide coverage !
Some thoughts on this ? ALSO _ Indians perhaps can talk to Silicon india, then other Bay Area local newspapers to publish it ? - Put it up in Komala Vilas, Udupi, etc ?

Thanks for your replies guys
This is not a substitution case, ETA-750 says requires graduation in mathematics, which I have but my % is less than 60, so just verifying if they will look for % acquired, now don't ask me why i secured less than 60% that is history and I cannot change.

You need to make it more clear to get help.
You said she got a H4 stamp when she first came to the US based on your H1B. That could not be true. She must had a I-797 approval notice of her H4.
You need all her I-797s of H4. Check the starting and ending times on them. Their should be no gap between. Any gap, if during which she was in the US, means illegal stay. But, if she had left the US after the gap and returned legally, the gap wouldn't be treated as illegal stay when you file 485. The evidence you need to prove this the her I-94s. All the VISA she'll ever has are the ones in her passport.
