For all those who are having nightmares about G325A and sending GA325 or for completeness need not worry if visa was issued more than a year back based on this.... I found this from the link provided earlier in this thread(pdf) by ushkand
Establishing completeness of records may entail preparation of a request for
background check from an American consulate or embassy.
The G-325A Biographic Information form must be completed by all
applicants between the ages of 14 and 79. Clerically processing this form
initiates a record check abroad for the applicant. This request, however, is not
needed for all applicants. If the applicant entered the United States more than
a year ago, the G-325A will not be processed. This limitation is imposed
because the Department of State generally destroys the nonimmigrant visa
application when the date of issuance is one year old.The G-325A is generally submitted with four copies--a white (original),
green, pink, and blue copy. You will only need to use two legible copies,
usually the white (file) and the blue (consul) copy. The only exception to this
rule is when the I-485 is accompanied by an I-130. The applicant of the I-485
is required to submit a G-325A for the underlying I-130 petition. In this
instance, you would include the pink copy of the G-325A in the record of
proceeding of the I-130.
Further, be aware that if an I-130 petition is included in the A-file, the spouse
of the applicant of the I-485 is required to submit a G-325A for that riding
petition. The spouse’s G-325A should be included in the record of proceeding
and not processed according to these instructions. It is considered a
supporting document and will be reviewed at the time of adjudication.

Hi iptel,
Thanks for the find. I have provided the link to the 2005 report referred in the 2006 document.
http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/17feb20051700/www.gpoaccess.gov/eop/2005/2005_erp.pdf
Look at Chapter 4 in the 2005 report. It does cover more about the TWP (temporary worker program). However, it does have some interesting statistics on the labor market and fiscal impact of immigrants, and other statistics.
Folks preparing material to present may find some useful statistics here.

Hello everyone,
I have a question abt the recent contributions. Of late i have seen a SHARP drop in contributions. Have we reached a plateau now, or are the contributions not updated live?
Also i have a question abt what the agreement is with QGA. Do they do nothing till we pay the $200k or do they do things in installments (like our immigration lawyers ;)). A lot of non members, but possibly potential contributors keep asking me abt the same. If the board can answer this question i would appreciate it. If you do not want to post that info on here, please send me a Private Message.

Hmmm.. I wonder if that's really the case. H1B extensions past 6 years is only allowed if the petitioner :
1. has a approved labor and 365 days have passed. OR
2. has a approved I-140
Now if the underlying I-140 is revoked which was the basis for the H1B extension then I would think that H1B itself would be invalid. However, if that's not the case and USCIS doesn't invalidate the H1B then it's really great. The only other remaining issue I can see is how do you further extend your H1B after the current on expires because you won't have a approved 140 to support it. Are you just out of luck?
As per the law, your H1B will still be valid even in if I-140 is revoked. However, the only flip side is one will lose the old priority date.
For sure, this is exactly outlined in the law. I have known some cases who are working successfully and legally on H1Bs even after their I-140s revoked (by the way one of them is in 8th year of H1B)
Im 100% sure about what i said. For better clarification, one can contact murthy.com or rajiv.s.khanna

You could argue that you don't need to have a job now, just that you need to be in a "same or similar"position when the 485 is approved. if your priority date is very backlogged, you have lots of time to find a job.
Elaine,
Thanks for your response. I am very curious to know if you have been successful in responding to an RFE in the manner you mentioned and USCIS accepted the agrument and continued with AOS for any of your clients. I understand that given the circumstances the OP does not have much of an option since he does not have a job right now. But it would be interesting to know if USCIS has accepted such an argument in the past.

I was issued a license based on my EAD expiration date. Same for my wife. We went back to DMV to get license extended based on I 94 expiry date. My I94 expiry date was different than ED expiration date as the customs gave expiry date which is 1 year later than EAD expriation date. I asked the customs officer why the date was different than my EAD date. He told my stay was valid till my I94 expiry date.
Anyways, IOWA DMV extended our license based on I94 date and we came back happy to know that we shall not have to walk in -30F to fetch our grocery as we wait to get our renewed EAD..

Message from the core group :
Even though there is a huge movement forward in PDs for EB2 and EB3, the immigration voice core group is not scaling back. We are going to continue our efforts in full speed ahead . For those who are out of the retrogression in June, CONGRATS...we really are happy about the current movement.
The core group is still committed to getting retrogression issue addressed by congress. In fact, I am right now in DC and I am attending a briefing event tommorow where Senator Alexander and Senator Bingaman will be present and the event is about high-skills immigration. Aman and Pratik were here last week thursday and Friday and will be here again next week. We are continuing efforts regardless of this big jump because we know that dates can move in reverse direction as it has in the past. In Oct 2005, EB3 dates took a huge movement backwards into 1998 and such reverse movements can happen again this year in October or in last quarter of fiscal year 2007. So we are taking this with cautious optimism and continuing our work with this.
Core group's job is not over until all dates are current and significant other reforms are brought to Greencard process and other related issues.

This is a suggestion for members using AILA tool. While we appreciate AILA for creating these useful tools, IV is not part of this AILA campaign.
If you want to use the AILA tool. Use your own letter and not AILA letter. Make sure not to use words like 'H1B' and 'illegal/undocumented' in the letter. Lawmaker offices will look at it and will not even care to read it fully. They will assume it is for H1B increase or about illegal immigration. Sometimes you will get an automated reply that has nothing to do with your issues you raised in your letter.
There are some good letter templates in http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3999
and some of them do not use H1B word at all. They are totally focussed on 'Green card'. You can choose to use any one of them. As we see the progress on CIR IV will have its own webfax and call the lawmakers campaign.

Thanks in advance.
My immigration status is H1 (485 pending EB2/INDIA). I am on the verge of completing my 2 year Masters in Computer Information Systems (MS-CIS) from Missouri State in Springfield, Missouri. Its a distance education Masters program with one week of on-campus residency every semester. The program is geared towards working IT professionals and its accredited by AACSB. The quality of education is excellent and fees is very nominal. I even got my employer to reimburse me for the tuition. Please see the following website for additional information on the program.

Should we mail paulmcd@cmp.com (Paul McDougall )of information Week.
See: http://www.informationweek.com/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=194700008&subSection=All+Stories
sure. send it.
The article says---
"A lobby group backed by IBM, Microsoft, Intel, and other tech industry giants is urging Congress to pass a new research and development tax credit and increase the supply of H1-B immigrant visas before the current session adjourns."
H1B visa is not an immigrant visa. It is a non immigrant visa. Everybody confuses H1B visa as the immigrant high skilled visas (Gcs). Moreover this article has no mention of greencards.
Gcs are not part of their agenda as per their website-- http://www.itaa.org/policy/immigration/
We will be neglected and our voice will not be heard if we dont do anything. IV core is working hard but they cannot do it alone without the help from each and every member. Each IV member is important to our success. We cannot afford to leave it to others to do it for us. The collective muscle of our efforts will create miracles for us. I see from a total of 450+ members that logged in yesterday only 12 people sent emails to 60 min. This kind of response to calls for action will not help our cause. Same goes for the state chapters. How many of us have actually gone to the state chapter thread and signed up? Pls. ask this yourself before posting new messages on the forum.

they responded today to USCIS, nothing much here I guess...
one of the forms had my birth date wrong, so USCIS was asking for the actual birth date.
Strange...my 140 was filed on Nov 2006....and then got a REF on August 29th 2007, my pawyer responsed last week...and I thought that as soon as USCIS gets the evidence they will hopefully approve my case....(the evidence was a minor (atleast I thought it was minor) issue about birth date...
and now USCIS has revieved the evidence they asked for...guess what they say...
On October 10, 2007, we received your response to our request for evidence. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. You should expect to receive a written decision or written update within 60 days of the date we received your response unless fingerprint processing or an interview are standard parts of case processing and have not yet been completed, in which case you can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done.

As per my family experience: for my husband and daughter they issued EADs without
FP 3 weeks befor FP app-t, but mine EAD was ordered, as I've been informed by e-mail,
in a 4 days after FP was done.
So, even if Biometricals are not mandatory for EAD, but EAD Card has place for FP on it,
in some cases they(USCIS) may pretend that there are a requirements( depends from officer)
Does it have anything to do with how recently you travelled out of the country? or How recently you came into this country? My wife came to US only 6 months back and I am not sure if this has got to do anything with the whole biometrics thing?
It is probably just this IO who has a different intepretation of the rules.
