This new rule is just an interim rule at this time. However, there is a good possibilty that this rule will be extended. Yes, you may apply for the advance parole and EAD at a later time while your 1-485 application is pending. You may file your I-485 if your visa number is available. You can check it from the Visa Bulletin published by DOS. However, since you are living in New York, you will have to file at the Texas Service Center (TSC).

Whether the PERM regulation prohibits experience on the job. Is it still possible for us to use the PERM regulation for the employees who are working JUST WITH the same employer right from their college degree. Is there any specific criteria for an employer to file labor as PERM (like in terms of income /revenue or anything) as I am planning to change my job and waiting for PERM to be implemented.

I'm a Filipina, and I have a Filipino boyfriend who is being petitioned by his mother (permanent resident).Her mom filed the petition last July 1994. Currently,the priority date is Dec 93 (or is it Jan 94?). I'd like to ask you the following questions:

In the event that my Change of status application is denied, will I be able to extend my H-4 status? (This is a fall-back option in the remote possibility that there will be problems with the I-485.) If I withdraw my application instead, will USCIS allow me to extend my H-4 status? This is of particular concern to me because I will be turning 21 soon and I would, in normal circumstances, not be considered a dependent. This is really very very bad news for me. I am a month or so away from my LC.

The first risk is monetary. You will not be able to get a refund for the I-485 filing fees from the USCIS if your I-140 is ultimately denied. Secondly, you may become out of status if your I-140 application is denied and you are in adjustment pending status. However, you can alleviate this risk by choosing a reputable law firm experienced in filing I-140 petitions.

Answer : It is necessary that an applicant for adjustment be in the United States when filing the I-485. S/he needs to be in the U.S. until at least the USCIS has received the application. If the person is maintaining H or L status, s/he can leave thereafter, even without advance parole. If the person had been in any other sort of status, such as F or J, one should not depart the U.S. without obtaining the approval of the advance parole before departing the U.S.

According to the 180 day rule of AC21, you are allowed to change job without affecting the approved I-140, if you has a pending I-485 for 180 days or more, as long as the new job is in the similar occupational classification as the job in the original petition.

For self-petitioned NIW or EB1-EA application, the job change will not affect the pending I-485. The applicants enjoys a much broader flexibility due to the different nature of their petitions. The I-485 petition will not depend on which employer you work for during the process. But it does not mean that you can work on any job you like after the I-485 submitted. You need to prove and maintain the required qualifications for EB1-EA application.

Answer: There is no law that prohibits the filing of multiple I-485s. But as a practical matter our law firm discourages such filings because they cause delays in the processing of the applications. First of all the filing of multiple AOS applications cause the generation of multiple A #s in the name of the applicant.

A2. During the month of July, 2007, all priority dates for all EB categories are current with the exception of the "Other Workers" category which is going to be unavailable in July. If, therefore, you have an approved I-140 Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, an I-140 currently pending with USCIS, or an approved Labor Certification, you are eligible to file your I-485 Adjustment of Status during July, 2007.

You can file the I-485 but you can decide not to be a named plaintiff. There are "named plaintiffs" and other class members. Being a class member, without being a named plaintiff, means that one may still be covered under the lawsuit and given certain rights as a plaintiff / affected group, if the judge certifies the "class," which it is believed is likely to happen.

No. Although you may still file your I-140 at this time, you will need to obtain waiver of the foreign residency requirement before you may file for the adjustment of status. Once you have received the approval from the State Department, you may take advantage of this new law.

DBAN has been run on a computer with 100 SCSI hard disks. There are no artificial limits in DBAN, but bus bandwidth is usually a limiting factor in practical application. The actual maximum device count is limited by the number of bits allocated for major device numbers in the kernel, which can be changed.

The permanent visa availability is announced by the US State Department every month in a publication called "Visa Bulletin." See our web site. It lists the categories by countries of birth and then states which "priority dates" will now be processed. The critical point to remember is that your priority date would be the date the application is first filed with SESA in both RIR as well as non-RIR cases. Thus the priority date is 1 January 1996 in the case we have described above.

Yes ? the file can be opened in Excel as any normal Excel file. You can then add or delete columns and sort or edit the data in the usual way. You can also use the file for mail-merge in conjunction with Microsoft Word.

Yes. Most of my clients receive pre-approved credit applications in the mail shortly after their bankruptcy is discharged. However, you will probably have to pay higher interest rates.

There were over 1 million bankruptcies filed in the United States last year alone. Common sense will tell you that these people are not all living on the street. If you are presently renting a home or apartment, usually your present landlord will renew your lease without running an updated credit report, and will have no knowledge that you even filed a bankruptcy. If you are applying for a new lease, there could be some slight difficulties that can easily be overcome.

Currently, we only allow JPG and GIF image files to be uploaded to the server. We may add other file types in the future, but each poses a different security risk, so we need to be careful.

this time, you will be able to access the documents you file through your Service Provider. You will also be able to access documents served upon you. The Superior Court adopted a public access policy for Civil Division cases and a related rule regarding protection of private information. See Sup. Ct. Civ. R 5(f)(1). In the meantime, the Court is testing a web-based public access program. The Court anticipates making civil dockets available over the web in early 2007.

Normally, the Approval Notice/Welcome Notice will come to our office with a copy to the foreign national applicant. In some instances, it is possible to take this to a local USCIS District Office and get a Permanent Residence stamp in the foreign national's passport, which can be used to prove eligibility for all benefits to which US permanent residence entitles you (such as unrestricted employment or travel).

With Children's Care Gateway providers and their staff will be able to select referred patients to review the patient's electronic medical record at Children's. Clinical information that can be found is:

No. If the I-485 is rejected, the entire filing should be returned with the filing fees. There is some chance that the I-485 package could be accepted by the USCIS mailroom in error. In that event, the filing fee checks would be cashed. Then, most likely, one could obtain the EAD and AP extensions each year. So there is a potential benefit if the I-485 case is issued a receipt notice. It should not adversely affect any future I-485 filing.

Filing either Form I-130 or I-140 does not entitle an alien to receive a work permit. These forms are merely petitions towards the permanent residency applications. When the alien files the actual adjustment of status application, Form I-485, an application for employment authorization, may be submitted simultaneously or anytime after the submission of the I-485 application.

Thanks so much Greg. Now I have to stop this blog because I am becoming obssessive-compulsive with it! GREG: I do have to congratulate you on the reliability of your information and sources. You posted the USCIS announcement well before it was up on their site. I am very concerned since my application is pending since Oct 2006. This is going to cause a huge back log and the FBI checks will take much longer..
