Sorry to hear about your dad's health.
As per the Consulate web site, admitting to hospital is not an emergency situation. But you better check with TTS and Chennai consulate through email. If you have any proof from the hospital about your father's health condition, scan it and send it to consulate. they normally respond in 24 hours.
If you applied for 485 and have AP, please keep it with you in case of need.
thanks
You are eligible for a Emergency Appointment as long as you are returning to work in US (H1B), dont worry, just go you can get an emergency appointment without any documentation required.

First and foremost, you need to fire attorney for not using his/her reasonable skill of not appropriately matching you to the labor suitable to you.
You need to have second thoughts on your employer/attorney, as their actions resulted loss of precious time and money, more importantly for making you loose EAD and AP, if approved, based on underlying 140 which is now denied.
It could take some more months, before you are able to file for 485 again.
Always trust experienced attorneys, don't make use of 'me too attorneys', who might have faked their resume, like some IT pros do.
Well said. However what is the necessity for you to say

To answer your questions, yes they interviewed me and my wife together. Attorney is not critical, our attorney did not accompany us - one reason id because he is in Atlanta whole I'm in NJ. Yes he can approve and stamp your passport right then if everything goes fine. Our PD was not current back then so he said he could not do it.
But in our case even though he said our applications were through and should get our GC as soon as it becomes current I had to wait for 4 months to get GC after it became current and after contacting every possible office. But that was my luck :rolleyes:

Instead of trying to figure out which copy/original of AP goes where, and how many originals you should/will get, understand this simple fact: If you have an approved multiple entry AP, then you will be able to enter multiple times.
Each port of entry has a diffierent way of doing things. At the end of your immigration through the POE, you will have atleast one AP travel document in your hand, which will be stamped. You can use the same document to re-enter before the expiration date (on the AP), as long as it is multiple entry.
So just relax and enjoy your travel.
When it is three copies (Nebraska has been giving three), on first travel, one copy goes to airlines, the 2nd copy goes to POE and 3rd copy remains with AP holder (the 3rd copy must be stamped at POE). On subsequent travels give a photocopy (of 3rd) to airlines, ask POE to make a copy (of 3rd) for themselves and keep 3rd (after getting subsequents stamp).
When it is two copies (Texas has been giving two), on first travel, give a photocopy to airlines the 1nd copy goes to POE and 2nd copy remains with AP holder (the 2nd copy must be stamped at POE). On subsequent travels give a photocopy (of 2nd) to airlines, ask POE to make a copy (of 2nd) for themselves and keep 2nd (after getting subsequents stamp).

There is nothing wrong in asking but the attorney has no right to reveal the information to you although some do. Did you try to make that request through your employer?
I think some members requested a copy of 140 approval notice from USCIS by filing a freedom of information request. Not sure how though.

We did send lot of requests (letters) to Senate/House reps to include recapture and legal kids into dream act. But of no use. I think its simply waste of doing such campaigns.
i am not an expert on how campaigns should be run on Capitol Hill but was meeting some highly successful senior lobbyists today (on a completely different topic) and got a chance to take a close look at how they influence legislative activity and direction.......the big lesson i learnt is that while it is important to present a macro picture to lawmakers (how legal immigration is beneficial to US economy etc etc) - what often makes the difference between an actual favorable vote and a mere sympathetic reaction is whether we can demonstrate the positive impact of the legislative vote on each lawmaker's specific reelection probability and popularity in their district:
1. showing benefit to their particular constituents (e.g your district has XX legal immigrants who constitute XX% of the tax base and if they got GCs - say, 10% would start companies in their communities and create say, 1000 new jobs within 2 years)
2. localized polling results (e.g. XX% of your voters support timely GCs to legal immigrants)

Just an FYI, I applied my wife's I-485 with the Birth Certificate issued by Indian Embassy in Houston, TX....I went there personally and got it issued the same day...They issue it based on the DOB in your passport...Then later I got her BC done from the local municipality along with affidavits from her parents...I sent them to my attorney and he said he will only send them to USCIS if they send a RFE asking for the same.....He said its of no use to mail them without an RFE as they will lose them.....My PD is EB-3 India Nov 2003, and I haven't received any RFE so far regarding her BC...
Is there any LUD for the filed I-485..If there is a LUD and no RFE, then I am surely go and get one from Indian embassy.

I have a passport expiry and new visa stamping conflict. My last visa stamping expired on Oct 01, 2009. And my current (Indian)passport expiration date is July 04, 2011. Also, my H1b approval is under the transfer process (so I don't have the new I-797 as yet). I'm planning to travel to India sometime in January, expecting the new H1b approval soon now.
Should i get my passport renewed here before leaving for India ? I believe you can renew one year in advance of pasport expiry date either here or in IndiaI'm worried if they will give me a new passport valid only for a year as a note on the website says "A passport is also issued for one year in cases of expiry of valid U.S. residence visa. In such cases, applicants have to apply for extension of validity as soon as valid U.S. Residence visa is approved. There is no fee for extension of validity of passport."
Since my last visa stamping has expired and I will soon have a new H1B, if i go for a new visa stamping, will I be given a visa with validity until my passport expiry ? Or, I can get my passport renewed in India and then go for the stamping? you will be given visa for the duration you are eligible for and not based on the pasport expiry date, however, when renetering your I-94 could be limited to the pasport expiry date even though visa is of longer duration. So ideally you would get pasport extended here and then go for the stampingI'm afraid I may not have enough days to squeeze in both when I visit. Or, if i get my passport renewed here, are they going to give me a new passport only valid for a year since I don't have any valid visa stamping but a valid I797? Dont understand why you would be given a one year passport?? Never heard about that but others might help out with that information
Please advise.
Thank you.

Well we had Hindu marriage in May. We have our marriage card, pictures, witnesses etc. So I was under the impression that I would be able to get certificate from registrar. Here is info I got
"
Under the Hindu Marriage Act:
Parties to the marriage have to apply to the Registrar in whose jurisdiction the marriage is solemnised or to the Registrar in whose jurisdiction either party to the marriage has been residing at least for six months immediately preceding the date of marriage. Both the parties have to appear before the Registrar along with their parents or guardians or other witnesses within one month from the date of marriage. There is a provision for condonation of delay up to 5 years, by the Registrar, and thereafter by the District Registrar concerned."
Hindu marriage registration in India is fine. I was wondering how would one get it registered here in US. I would think you would have to marry here to get it registered. Right?

You can find some points here in the documents on the URL mentioned above. This thread brings a good point. There are several issues that impact society, economy, family and relationships due to delays and problems in the GC process. Nobody has a compresensive study on that. Its a real anthropological/sociology and somewhat economics subject for anyone in universities doing a research. Such student can use us in this group to study. We should also try to have a document highlighting these issues so that US media can look at this problem from a different perspective.
some points
- lives are on hold
- property purchases cannot be planned
- cannot plan future investments and plan for settling in life.
- H1B is a temporary job and loss of job means leaving the country in 15 days. thus it impacts the lifestyle and family life. it has economic and psycological implications
- spouse cannot even have driving license since they cannot have a social security card. social security card is given only upon getting work permit. and h4 visa means spose cannot work. lack of driving license is a huge factor in creating restlessness and anxiety and leads to several hardships for a family. Driving is a need in this country and lack of of by spouses affects the homemakers and management of the house and needs.
- H1Bs on extensions (1 year) and people with 1 year EADs have difficulty getting driving license renewed in some states. not being able to drive to work is a big problem in itself and has economic and physical hardship implications.
- long wait for green card weighs in heavy on immigrant families and they cannot enjoy the same freedom that citizens or permanent residents enjoy. This restriction hampers the growth and development of children.
- children of H1B holders cannot get any relief in tuition in local colleges even if they are intelligent and qualify all exams with best scores. They cannot get any scolarships.
- employers of h1B tend to exploit employees knowing that the employee will stay until PR application is approved. This creates depression in employees.
- lack of promotions and raises for H1B immigrant causes disparity amongst employees and coworkers change their attitude against the employee. Such lack of respect and seeing juniors becoming seniors over a perid of time, creates emotional stress in immigrant.
- The lengthy, vague and irratic nature of proceessing of cases by USCIS and DOL causes tensions and distress at various stages in the process.
- Skilled EB immigrants only make up 11.5% of legal immigrants. This small number contributes the most to the us economy instead of other catagories.
- Lot of highly educated professional want to start new businesses and ventures. Inability to do that hurts their innovative spirit and competitive edge that usa can befit from. New business will also provide more revenue and jobs for the country.
- Due to the nature of H1B validations and extensions, every time the immigrant travels to the home country there has to be a visa interview. These visa interviews have to be planned months in advance and the trip cannot be short. It has a financial burden and emotional stress for the family. Not being able to visit the homecountry at will creates family tensions and issues. Families and relatives have to stay part and meet after long intervals of time.
- inability to change jobs during the 8 year greencard process hurts the learning and development and career growth of the person. For a high skilled professional in the prime of his work life this is very important. Not being able to change jobs creates frustration and growth becomes stagnant.
- the long wait for the GC forces some immigrant to migrate to other developed countries that have better immigration process or head back to home country to use their skills. Its a loss of intellectual capital for USA. For an immigrant it means uprooting life again from one place and restarting life again elsewhere. It not only has financial implications but a social, cultural and emotional burden on the family.

The EB-2 NIW category, like the EB-1 extraordinary ability category, has the advantage of not requiring employer sponsorship---both can be "self-petitions". Depending on the particular facts, it is sometimes easier to qualify for the EB-2 NIW category. It is also possible to file separate I-140 petitions in two or more categories at the same time to increase the liklihood of success.

But here is the key point when one uses EAD uscis doesnt outright know what status he is in as he just signs I-9 form which is just with employer. so weigh your options but to be safe once taking up EAD means done with H1b
Thanks virtual55.
AS PER THE ADDENDUM II
In guidance issued by legacy INS after the 1999 rule change, the Service stated the following:
However, an H-1 or L-1 nonimmigrant will violate his/her nonimmigrant status is s/he uses the EAD to leave the employer listed on the approved I-129 petition and engage in employment for a separate employer.22 (Emphasis in original).
AILA believes that a nonimmigrant who �moonlights� pursuant to an EAD has not �left� his or her employer, and thus is still maintaining proper status. AILA requests USCIS to confirm that, in the case of an H-1B or L-1 nonimmigrant, present in the United States under a valid petition in either classification, who moonlights pursuant to an EAD, still maintains his H-1B or L-1 status.
I think as per the Addendum II, USCIS has yet to certify that moonlighting will not loose the H1B status. AS OF TODAY ,working with additional employer on EAD will void the status.
