I thought that the ideal time would be before applying for I485, and thus the dependant spouse would automatically get a gc with which ever spouse got the gc first. So I would think that both applying and getting married before either I485 is submitted, and who ever gets gc first their dependant spouse gets it too.
If the I485 is already filed I don't know if it can be amended.
I'm no attorney so you need to throughly research this.
This is true if you are applyinf through employer based. But our guy is applying through family based and he marrying before getting his GC could push him to the next category and a wait of several years.

gcsucks,
I have done quite some research on this. Bottom line is you are taking major chance in loosing it unless one of the following applies.
1) You are married to Canadian citizen.
2) Your company is Canadian (or has office in Canada who can give letter that you are direct employee of a Canadian company working abroad).
Otherwise you are taking chance. The airlines etc will still let you board a plane etc to go there, and Canadian Govt is bound to let you in, but then you will have to fight a case against the cancellation of PR order and its a mess.
I would say decide one way or the other. I know its easie said than done.
If you are in EB3, than unless new laws are passed or something changes, you could go to Canada, live there 3 yrs, get Canadian citizenship and your PD will still be waiting for you at May 1st when you come back.
Best of luck

If H1 for your spouse is already approved, there should not be any problem provided you carry all necessary documentation. If it is under processing (not yet approved), and you have your H1 approved, your spouse should not have problem for H4.
Jsb,
thank you for confirming. My wife's h1 is approved but once i took the appointment at calgary, the appointment letter mentions that first time COS conversions are strongly urged to go to their home countries as they cannot verify the academic qualifications. I think this is mainly for ppl going on desi consulting companies unlike universities.
Thanks

Hello Mike,
I was about to launch Swift 3D and try what you were having problems with, but I found another solution that might work better. The best thing I would recommend that you try would be to use Flash for all the modification of the keyframes, etc.
I always use a separate Movie instance in Flash to import all my Swift 3D animations. Also, for the sake of file size, I only work on one Swift 3D animation at once. I then import that animation and any other animations to Flash itself. Within Flash, you can customize how many times you wish for the animation to loop, crop out extraneous frames, etc.
Try that method. Use Swift 3D for the initial 3D rendering and animation. Use Flash for the keyframe modifications, etc. Swift 3D has a very clunky keyframe interface, and it is not very user friendly.
I hope that helped. If you have any further questions or comments, please don't hesitate to reply back.

Can i call USCIS or it should only be attorney or some authorized persons?
I agree, Online status is unreliable, but the recent update about undeliverable looks quite straight forward.

I have a B1/B2 visa that I'm thinking about coverting into F1 visa when I get into the US I just have few questions:
1- How long does it take to convert the B1/B2 visa into an F1 visa?
2- If my visa gets converted into the F1 visa, does that mean my B1/B2 visa is cancelled and I have an F1 visa or what am I?
2- Will it be possible to leave the country for few months(after the conversion of my B1/B2 visa into the F1) and then return back to the US with ease to continue my studies ?
Thank you very much for answering!!!
1. It takes 3-6 months to change STATUS from B-2 to F-1;
2. Your visa does not get "converted". Your status changes to F-1 if approved. In your passport you will still have a B-2 visa.
3. If you leave the country after changed status to F-1, you need to go for F-1 Visa stamp in order for you to comeback and continue studies. Risk of not getting F-1 stamp is high for those who changed status to F-1 while in U.S. I never left US after changing to F-1 because my attorney and my International Student advisor advised it was too risky to do so. This is because if US consulate denies issuing F-1 visa, the consulate my also cancel B-2 visa at the same time because both carry non-immigrant intent amongst other factors. You can't just leave for a "few months" and just comeback while studying on F-1. The F-1 visa and related I-20 documents specify how long the program of studies is and you should be attending every semester taking at least 12 credits each semester, with the exception of the last semester, in which you don't have to carry 12 credits as long as after the last semester your degree is granted.
Hope this helps. It is based on my own experience. Speak to an International Student Advisor at the school which you have selected for more details. Good luck.

So guys just off the phone with a very decent IO at NSC . talked to her 30 mins, yes you are right 30 mins..which is unheard off..
the questions that I asked were very simple
Q1. Hello Maam, i would like to know the status of my I485
A1. This is not the place to ask for status
Q2: But, Maam, I wanted to know where my case stands as people with PDs and RDs later than mine (mine is March 2006 and July 26 2007) are being adjudicated
A2: Well, we cannot disclose anybody else's case, but each case is different, so we dont know
Q3: Okay, but can u tell me if my namecheck has been cleared (although i checked a week back and another IO told me it was cleared)
A3: No, for privacy purposes we cannot disclose this info
Q4: Okay then can you tell me why there was a LUD on my approved I40 on 7/13. (guess there were lots of us who had this)
A4: Yes, I can tell you that, what is your Receipt number
Q5. Here is my recpt number
A5: Okay it looks like your I140 was filed at Texas and they sent the file over to us. we consolidated that with your I485
Q6: Does that mean that my case is being worked upon
A6: No it does not mean that. This step is one of many many steps that are required for 485 processing. so this will not tell you anything
Q7: Is my case assigned to a IO
A7: No we cannot give this info, and even if you have this info, it is useless info as the center is going towards Backlog.
Q8: Then what is the meaning of processing dates as issued by USCIS
A8: They dont mean much,. they are just a gestimation of where things stand, and as off now the centers are facing backlog. there is lot of restructuring going on within the centers. The place to check is on the website., any change will be reflected there and it is upto date.
This was the gist of my call with the IO today.. w
What is the bottom line?
Sit tight and things will move only when USCIS wants.. nothing will happen otherwise..
so guys good luck to all of us.....
cheers

But the July 2nd decision was reversed later. Why did they not file then?
Besides, companies do not need to pay for 485. Makes no sense for them to pay for something that they do not have to.
On a separate note, does anyone know of any company which has discontinued GC processing because the new rule states the employer has to pay for PERM?
That's our company policy(1 year bond of course)
BTW they did file after July17th.:o

I was on H-1 and got laid off on July 23. I filed for COS to H4 online on the same day and got the electronic receipt the same day. As I had filed I-539 after work hours, the receipt shows that USCIS received my application on July 26 instead of 23. I got the paper receipt in next 3 days. I hope this will not create any problems as my employer sent notification to USCIS on July 31 and I received my last paystub on July 31 though it was only till July 23. I have been working in US with good status for last 5 years.
Now I have some questions. Any help is greatly appreciated:
1) I recently got two Job offers from different consulting firms. When I told them that my H4 status is still pending, their attorneys told me conflicting things.
- One employer's attorney said that I have to wait till my H4 is approved and only then they could apply for my H1. At this time I have not status and they cannot file my H1.
- The other employer's attorney said that I could apply for H1 while my H4 is still pending by giving pending petition reference in the new H1 application. This will let USCIS adjudicate both the pending status together and there will be no problem for my H1.
Which one of them is correct ? What are the risks involved if I go with the advice of second attorney? Is there a possibility that filing H1 increases the chances the both my H4 and H1 applications are rejected and I could be OOS ?
2) Second question is that the second employer wants me to start immediately after I get H1 receipt. Am I eligible to work on a receipt with my situation or do I need to wait for the complete approval ? What if I get an RFE ? As this is a consulting firm, they have work order from end client for only 3 months and it will be renewed after every 3 months. Will this 3 month work order will create any problems ?
3) What is my current status ? Will the current time while H4 is pending will be counted against H1 or H4 ? As I have only a little over year left in my H1, it is important for me to know how much valid time I have left for H1. This processing time could go in months if I get an RFE.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said that on September 15, 2009, the worst recession since the 1930s is probably over, although he cautioned that pain - especially for the nearly 15 million unemployed Americans - will persist. Bernanke said the economy likely is growing now, but he warned that won't be sufficient to prevent the unemployment rate, now at a 26-year high of 9.7 percent, from rising. The recession, which started in December 2007, has claimed a net total of 6.9 million jobs.
With expectations for a lethargic recovery, the Fed predicts that unemployment will top 10 percent this year. The post-World War II high was 10.8 percent at the end of 1982. Some economists say it will take at least four years for the jobless rate to drop down to a more normal range of 5 percent.
Analysts predict the U.S. economy is growing in the current quarter, which ends Sept. 30, at an annual rate of 3 to 4 percent. It shrank at a 1 percent pace in the second quarter, much slower than in previous quarters. While many on Wall Street have been encouraged by early signs of stabilization in U.S. home prices and hope the housing market may have hit bottom, others aren't so sure.
Still, Bernanke's declaration that the recession likely ended marked his most optimistic assessment yet of the economy. And his remarks came on the same day that the government report that retail sales jumped 2.7 percent in August, the most in more than three years. All this helped to lift stocks on Wall Street. The Dow Jones industrial averaged gained nearly 57 points to 9,683.41, its highest finish since Oct. 6. He said that the economy is coping with "ongoing headwinds," including hard-to-get-credit for consumers and businesses, and households saving more, spending less and trimming their debt. Those forces can weigh down the recovery, he said.

I recently got my EB1 I-140 approved. Now my lawyer wants to apply for the I-485 but I am unemployed currently. What are my options in this case? Do I show I am self-employed and apply the I-485 or wait till I get a job.
Just as a background I already have a EB2 Employer based I-485 in process and therefore have the EAD and AP in hand. The EB2 I-485 was applied in 2007 so it is past the 180 days period.
Urgent help will be greatly appreciated.
