Thanks again. Just spoke to my company lawyer about this issue. He says in case the POE immigration officer does not give I-94 based on the extension there are two options. (1) go to CBP and fix it there like before (2) He will file for the extension of status. I was worried if there will be enough time to do this before she goes out of status and he assured me there won't be any problem even if we file on the last day i.e. 15th. Any advise on this?
Here's what I think and I am not a lawyer.
Your lawyer is correct. As long as your application is pending your spouse is not out of status. The approval once it arrives is retroactive so she will not be out of status. On the other hand a denial of extension of status also will apply retroactively with its own implications.

Please, don't waste your time. I think we should not spend one second more with CIR. If it ever passes, it passes.
We should focus on our bill, the SKIL bill. We should persuade senators to pursue that one. Believe me, Americans are not buying buzzwords or jargon to circumvent the intentions of CIR.
If opposers of the CIR bill, such as Senators Tom Tancredo, Sensenbrenner, Numbersusa, etc do not want to be labeled as anti-immigrants - and they do not want I am sure - then they should support the SKIL bill. That should be our slogan.
The SKIL bill also has its opponents. Only that this time the proponents will be greatly outnumbered by the opponents. Already the pundits are saying that should CIR not pass now, the next time a bill passes on immigration will be in 2 years time. Most annoying to the opponents are the fact that the bill increases the employment based numbers something SKIL likely does. Secondly NumbersUSA has a fax against giving greencards to employment based applicants. Then coming back to reality, it should be noted that increasing employment based numbers had just as many opponents as it did opponents, the Bingaman ammendment had a great deal of support in the Senate. Exclude the undocumented workers and Senators (Feinstein etc) from consitutencies where low skills are needed and who would have no reason to vote for CIR other than for certain industrial sectors (agriculture etc) would vote against SKIL. I'm not trying to be pessimistic or attempting to pour cold water over such an approach, but if CIR does not make it, it is very unlikely that there will be the support needed to bring SKIL to the floor before November and have it passed in both chambers before the end of the year. All immigrants are now fair game, prejudiced rhetoric and xenophobia abounds in public (just watch Lou Dobbs' viewers comments), the recent vote to block foreign control (not ownership) of US airlines (even when foreign airlines are doing well management and profit wise and the associated comments), negative comments made about Canada's immigration policy by anti-immigrationists like Peter King of NY, even though Canada goes as far as requesting background checks (including FBI) everywhere one has lived since age 18 (which the US does not do) and you might see that any immigration bill has its odds of success heavily weighed against it before November.

As more Americans lose their jobs, the U.S. government is actively discouraging the recruitment of foreign workers, from dude ranchers and fruit pickers to lifeguards and computer programmers.
At least three avenues of legal immigration have seen roadblocks erected. In the most visible and controversial move, companies receiving federal bailout money now face extra hurdles before they can hire highly skilled guest workers on an H-1B visa. On Friday, the Labor Department will close a public-comment period for a proposal to suspend an agricultural guest-worker program, known as the H-2A.
[U.S. Deters Hiring Foreigners as Jobless Ranks Swell] David Harp/Chesapeake Photos
At J.M. Clayton Seafood in Cambridge, Md., workers, mostly immigrants, pick crab meat from the shell of Chesapeake blue crabs.
The State Department is asking some sponsors of the J-1 visa -- seasonal employers such as hotels, golf resorts and summer camps -- to reduce dependence on foreign labor. "Basically, because of the economic downturn, it will be difficult to place these people in jobs," said State Department spokesman Andy Lainey, confirming that a letter from the agency asked sponsors to make cuts "voluntarily."
With the unemployment rate at 8.1% and approaching double digits, the U.S. finds its longstanding quandary over immigration growing even more difficult. On one hand, fewer Americans have jobs and competition for available work is intensifying. On the other, the Obama administration says it wants to resist moves toward protectionism -- at least in the trade of goods and services -- and will push that view at next week's London summit with the leaders of the Group of 20 nations.
Immigration advocates say it is hypocritical not to apply the same approach to the flow of people.
"You don't abandon regulations because you have one bad year," said Jeanne M. Malitz, an immigration lawyer in San Diego who represents many growers who are trying to plan their harvests but are uncertain of their labor source. They have relied on the H-2A program, which allows guest agriculture workers to stay as long as 10 months. A spokeswoman for the Labor Department said a decision on whether the program will be suspended for nine months will be made in "a couple of months."

Hi,
from the link above, once you get details of your LCA, is the field "prevailing wage SOC code" the one that should be same (between this LCA and new job offer) for AC21 to apply?

it is a good idea to work on. it is perfectly logical to think that people who have waited upto 8-9 years for their green card get some reprieve in their waiting for Citizenship. they have obeyed every law and paid taxes and contributed greatly to this country and I think the Government will be considerate to this idea. IV can include this in their goals. ofcourse our immediate goal is to work on EB backlogs, but decreasing the wait times for Citizenship makes perfect Political sense as Congressmen and Senators will be more interested in us once they realize that we will be eigible for Citizenship sooner than later. this suggestion makes perfect sense

I am not kidding. I am not trying to be audacious. This isnt over the top.
Actually, if you read the article below, you will
think that the USCIS should pay us for accepting their
Green-cards and agreeing to stay here in USA. Sounds
Crazy? It wont after you read this.(from Yahoo)
"And let's not forget about immigrants. The workers
who move to the U.S. each year bring with them a
mother lode of education and skills -- human capital
-- for free. One celebrated example is Jonathan Ive,
the man who designed the iPod and iMac. Ive was born
in England and educated at Newcastle Polytechnic
University of Northumbria before joining Apple
Computer Inc. in California in 1992.
Ive is not unique. Most of the workers who immigrate
to the U.S. each year have at least a high school
diploma, while about a third have a college education
or better. Since it costs, on average, roughly
$100,000 to provide 12 years of elementary and
secondary education, and another $100,000 to pay for a
college degree, immigrants are providing a subsidy of
at least $50 billion annually to the U.S. economy in
free human capital. Alternatively, valuing their
contribution to the economy by the total wages they
expect to earn during their lifetime would put the
value of the human capital of new immigrants closer to
$200 billion per year. Either the low or high estimate
would make the current account deficit look smaller."

This is true. I read somewhere many years ago that IITs in India spend atleast 20 to 30 thousand dollars for each student that graduates with B.Tech. 75% of IIT grads are here in USA. Its India's loss. And USA's gain. And yet, we have nonsense like backlogs and expiring fingerprints.

this is good to know, whats a good enuf "wait" time before one takes this route if everything else is cleared including NC and PD is current?
If your PD is more that a month earlier than current processing date posted by USCIS, you should start sending inquiries to USCIS+ Ombudsman+ congressman. In the meantime work on the complaint. By the time you will receive responses to your inquiries (2-4 months), it will be the time to file a complaint.
Federal regulations state that adjudication can be delayed for more than a year only if the delay is authorized by USCIS district director. After that, every six months USCIS authorities have to approve any further delay. Therefore, anyone whose I-485 has been pending for over a year can argue that it is been delayed unreasonably and unlawfully.

As per USCIS processing time/volume data (I485 February 2010) for Texas, Nebraska and National, we have following volume for pending and Pre-adjudicated cases waiting for visa numbers:
Texas, Nebraska, National
Pending 20,215 - 21,905 - 158,010
Pre-adjudicated waiting for visa number 86,062 - 96,053 - 207,356
Is it safe to assume that July/August 2007 filer�s case has been Pre-adjudicated and is waiting for visa number at this time (because of priority date) ?
My assumption is based on the following:
Texas and Nebraska service center processing times are October and June 2009 respectively.
If processing center has passed filing date (July/Aug 2007) then one should have received either RFE by now or case should be among Pre-adjudicated cases waiting for visa number.
It does not make much sense to me that July/August 2007 filer�s application can be among pending applications because the processing centers have well passed July/August 2007 dates and should have approved, rejected issued RFE or should have moved application to Pre- adjudicated cases because of priority date.
I also remember lots of applicants received REF in 2nd and 3rd quarter of 2009.
Any feed back ?
is there any LUID on your case - if Yes - its pre-adjunticated, No - talk to your attorney.

EB3 --> No movement this FY '09. Already it is Unavailable and will remain so for rest of FY '09. This is also indicated in May 09 VB.
--> Also do not see, spill over of Visa from other category as well. EB2 India / China like to consume visa numbers (if any) that might spill over from other category.
--> Unless all category in EB2 is current, visa numbers will not spill over to EB3. With more and more people filing in EB2, this is most unlikely to become current for India / China.
--> Might get an idea on how dates are going to move for FY '10 after the Oct '09 Visa Bulletin is published sometime after mid Sept.
Hopefully, by then USCIS had already calculated more accurately the number of pending cases, based on category / country of changeability for visa number and moved the dates appropriately so folks with earlier PD's get theirs first. Hopefully the FOIA initiative by IV helps !!!
Also if their is any congressional action on Immigration, that modifies / updates the current EB process permanently or provides interim relief, then we can expect some thing soon.

Thank you for the response Lasantha. Looks like I satisfy all 5 conditions so I shouldn't have any problem. One more question. My H1 expires in November of this year so I had my company apply for extension. The extension was filed about a week ago. Would that be any problem at all?
I have one more question related to this ... How can you go to embacy with out surrendering I-94, would not they ask for I-94 when you leave US?
If they ask , what explanation should be given. And will they understand it.

The problem I have is I don't have a valid H1 stamp in my passport because I haven't left the country since my last H1-B extension. I just have the valid I-797. Do you think that would be enough if I were to travel to Canada and try to come back in few days using automatic visa re-validation or do I really have to go to the embassy to get that stamp and can't make use of the automatic visa re-validation. This is such a weird situation.
Do they still have automatic visa revalidation? I thought under the new rules you had to get H1 stamped before entering the country again.
