Thanks guys for all your responses....
I got the paperwork from my attorney for my wife's 485 as they want us to be ready so that if dates are current, we just mail the paperwork without having to start at that time.
However, my wife is pregnant and i am not sure if medical examinations are possible. What are my options ?
Complete medicals without the vaccines, etc which cannot be taken during pregnancy. The Civil surgeon shoould make a note on the medical report that the applicant is pregnant and so medical is incomplete.
When your 485 is picked up for processing, an RFE will be issued and then she can complete the rest.

Oh, and i wish i had buy it! A friend of mine told me about it and made a copy for me for testing. (not pretty legal, i know, but if i like the soft i finally buy it. I only need to check it in advance, because my salary is not that big to buy just for checking. Sure you know what i mean
ditto. Screw em if they don't like it. I know if I don't like the program, it goes right off my machine and probebly wont ever be tested again. :)
I do think that painter has many features that photoshop doesn't, but out of the two, Photoshop is probebly a lot more useful. If you want to draw though, and you want to gain a real sense of texture which is the same as the none virtual medium, then Painter is the only way to go. That is to say.. if you want your cartoon to look like it's drawn in crayon.. Photoshop just wont cut it.
Edwin is really the one to ask about this. He's a very experienced Photoshop user and also has Painter6.0.
I will take a look around for books.. but like you and I have already said.. pickins are scarce.

saloni,
something this big will effect your status. Once you form an LLC or something on those lines using your EAD it is my understanding that you will lose your H1 status. This is just from what I have understood from reading around here. You might want to consult a lawyer. Also you might look at posting this in a different section.

To second what SITM said in this post, my case (interfiling from EB2 NIW to EB1 EA) was approved on March 30, 2009. My I-485 was submitted in Aug 07 thanks to the July 07 melee. In my case, I had my lawyer do the interfiling for an additional fee. So, I am not sure how the interfiling request looked like. But, I did follow with NSC on my I-485 s after the request on a regular basis and I believe that it helped! AFAIK, it looks like interfiling is not completely hopeless.
Can you please share what steps you took to follow up with NSC on interfiling and did they respond to your requests.

If you have not completed your 6 years (or you have an approved 140) then you can find an employer to file a new H1B and you will not be counted against H1B cap. Do the premium and reapply for visa at the consulate. Try to carry a proof that your employer has declined to provide you with the documents requested.
Secondly, please post what documents consulate requested you to submit - I am sure one of the IVans will post you with alternatives. If one of the documents happens to be your personal credentials, wage statements and etc - even if you reapply with new employer, you will be no different than what you are now. BTW, is it your first time stamping?.
Thanks for this info.
Well,I was given Green Form 221 g from NEw Delhi Consulate wherein they asked me to submit: Unemplotment Wage reports, Project description, Notarised list of Employee and W2.
With regards to my personal info, they okayed it with my MBA degree and over 12 years experience behind.:cool:
BTW, this is my first attempt in getting H1B Visa and I have B1/B2 Visa for10 yrs as also visited USA twice and came back within a fortnight.
My background check is okay.
The problem is with the Employer!!

You have 2 best possible scenario.
1. OPT should give you 29 months window to apply for H1 or AOS (that is when PD becomes current for EB2 India). It doesn't hurt to start I-140 NIW process now.
2. It may be a good idea to consider EB1 as well, although it may be very challenging. Approval under EB1 might make your AOS journey shorter.
You could piggy-back on your H1 spouse's AOS if that is on-going.
You could explore multiple options simultaneously. There is no bar. Just remember one thing though. F1 and OPT are non-immigrant intent statuses. Hence, timing of I-140 should be prudent. It is better to do I-140 petition after OPT approval. Check with your attorney. Good luck!

Hello Folks,
We should call the new organizations. But in this case people will talk about this issue for a day, maybe two. The one thing that will catch people's attention is we do something OUT of the way!
I support one suggestion put forward by one of our members - Go the Munnabhai way! Send them flowers! Do you guy have any idea what kind of news that will be? If USCIS suddenly receive 1000s of flowers everyday? Granted we will be spending money from our pockets but that is a small price to pay to make our woes known to others!
This is really a cruel joke played by DOS and USCIS! We should not stand by and do nothing!
So, if people are interested... let us start a send a flower a day campaign!
Dilip

This is from my attorney:
All your previous I-20s if you were student here, including all the notes made on the I-20s for any change (travel, course related paid work experience, OPT etc.);
EAD card copy for OPT if you had any;
All the visa stamps for reentering the States;
All H1b approvals;
I had some I-20s missing but I was able to contact my University International Student office - fortunately that they have everything on file.
"Proof that person is maintaining valid status in USA since last entry in USA" - not last entry but the first entry. All the documents are to prove your entry is legal and your stay is as legally approved.
It is the last entry not the first entry.
It is since first entry to for the Family based I-485, for Employment based I-485 section 245(k) applies and it requires status since last entry. In fact out of status < 180 days is forgiven under 245(k).
If your attorney does not understand 245(k), may be you should consider getting second opinion.
Section 245(k) applies for ALL employment based I-485s.
Not a legal advice

You can take upto 6 months of paystubs with you for the stamping. Since you are carrying yiour W2's as well, they very well reflect your past earnings.
6 months? Boss only 2 recent paystubs are required.
@itsmesabby : Its because of people like you, USCIS is asking for unneccesary XYZ documents for the extension or 485 processes nowadays. Because you are providing more than required documentation.
Think before you suggest something.

Not a good place for GC.....:eek:
There are 40,000 available annually, but the wait is typically between six and nine years. someone should sponsor for you to get a green. If you perform well hope you get a green card soon with the help from your US employer.

I was in the same boat last year when I was being promoted and was given 16% increase and a change of title. So my HR asked our immi attorney about any issues (my I-140 was already applied and pending at that time). My attorneys said that there is no issue for H1 as well as GC but they said that they have to file an amended H1-B petition for the promotion, change of title and pay hike.
I reasearched at that time, if filing amended H1-B was requirement from USCIS or if the attorneys were playing safe. I found out that USCIS does suggest filing an amended petition if there is a significant change in salary or job duties. Now just like AC21 rule, this is also vague and depends on the interpreation of the attorney. So I agreed with my HR and they filed the amended petition (did I have any other option anyways :) ). Since then my I-140 has been approved.
I will post some links when I have some time. Let me know if you have any question that I can help you with based on my experience and research.

Summary - I have a valid H1B visa till 31 August 2010. I went for visa interview (renewal of H1B) on 25th Feb 2010. I was given 221g form. It was mentioned to submit few documents in the form. Documents were CV, job description, last travels to US in 5 years etc. I submitted those on 26th Feb 2010.
On 3rd March 2010, i returned back to US with my valid H1B visa and current I-797A. Got an I-94 at the Chicago port of entry with the expiration date of 30 September 2011 (same as expiration date of I-797A).
On 16th March 2010, i got an email from New Delhi embassy asking me to submit the passport. I replied asking if they need it for visa stamping. Embassy just replied with the same message asking for the passport.
The same day i called DOS (Department of State) and they mentioned that my case is still pending and they are not sure that why the embassy needs my passport?
I emailed embassy asking that how soon should i travel back to India. The NIV unit mentioned as early as possible.
Do you guys have any idea what is likely to happen when i submit my passport?

"Immigration. Despite intense pressure from social conservatives and conservative GOP populists, Bush stood firm against immigration restrictions that cut off economic opportunities for all newcomers. "We hear claims that immigrants are somehow bad for the economy, even though this economy could not function without them," he told lawmakers, some of whom are pushing immigration law changes that Bush opposes.
Such talk is music to the ears of businesses that rely on immigrant labor. But the President will have to hang tough to avoid tough immigration restrictions sought by his party's right wing. "

"President Bush understands that continued American economic leadership is not a birthright. We must do everything we can to keep our workforce competitive. This includes a commitment to better math and science education, new worker training programs and improved access to highly educated foreign workers," said Sandra Boyd, National Association of Manufacturers Human Resources Policy Vice President and Compete America Chair.

I know about the "same or similar" clause in AC21. How many of you have got a RFE/Problems based on just this clause alone ?
Also, If you filed labor 3 years ago for software programmer, in 3 years, you could have become a system analyst, DBA or system Architect etc etc, So, how does "same or similar" matter here ?
Also, It will be helpful if we have a forum category "AC21", Admin, please consider this.
Thanks for all your inputs.

Thanks for your response. I'm leaning more towards Canada as I can avoid travel with my baby to India.
Do you think they might reject the case for any reasons?
How long do I have to stay in Canada if in case it's approved?
Thanks

Me and my wife used AP at SF airport couple of months ago. The process was very smooth and IOs know exactly what to do with this document. However you will be sent to secondary and you will have to wait there for around 30 minutes (sounds like normal process everywhere else too).

Attny said: If we port to this new 140. IF in case its rejected, then since this 140 is linked to my old 485 application, it will not be adjusted.
I was not agreed. Then they said, According to Nebraska service center, in Nov 2010 - They are not entertaining adjusting pending 485 with newly ported but rejected 140.
So, Attny said, for safe , since I am no longer on h1, they suggested to port after second 140 approved.
How ever, I need to make this is false. Still I dont agree this logic.
May I make a sincere suggestion. Please, go back to school, take a course in English grammar, writing mechanisms and reading comprehension. People can better respond to you, when they understand whatever is it you are asking. You may also be able to file as a qualified EB2 applicant. No pun intended.
