I received an RFE that put my I-485 on hold,
"In order to process your application further you will need to submit the following:
1. Evidence of your lawful admission or parole into the United States. Such evidence includes, but is not limited to, Form I-94 Arrival/Departure Record, or a copy of the nonimmigrant visa page of your passport showing admission to the United States.
OR
2. If you last entered the United States without inspection, you must submit evidence of your eligibility for adjustment of status under section 245(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). To be eligible for adjustment under 245(i) of INA, you must be the beneficiary of an immigrant visa petition or application for labor certification filed on or before April 30th, 2001. Unless not required in the instructions for Supplement A, you must pay the required section 245(i) surcharge fee.
Please submit evidence of eligibility under section 245(i) of INA and a completed and signed Supplement A to Form I-485. Evidence of eligibility includes Form-I797, Notice of Action for Form I-130, I-140, or I-360. This form must have been filed on or before April 30th, 2001. You must have been the beneficiary, spouse of the beneficiary, or eligible childe of the beneficiary. The relationship had to exist on or before April 30th, 2001 or when the petition was filed."
I came across from Canada when I was five years old as a visitor, did not have a passport as one was not required to enter the U.S. from Canada. When we entered we intended to visit my mothers husband and then all of us go back to Canada. However we decided to stay here. My question is, what can I provide as evidence of entering the United States since I did not have a passport and entered as a visitor so I do not have an I-94, and I believe I dont apply to the 245(i).
I called Immigration and they mentioned form I-102 to replace I-94, theres an option E on the form that says "I was not issued Form I-94 when I entered as a nonimmigrant, and I am filing this application together with an application for an extension of stay/change of
status." Would this be the right route? Would I receive an I-94? Is there something else I need to send?

I would appreciate any and all advice that anyone can provide:
My green card was sponsored by my husband, who has a GC. I was travelling out of the country on advance parole, when my passport got stolen, and I had to return to my original country to get a new passport issued, this took some months, during which, my advance parole to travel document expired. SO I could not enter the US. Then, a couple of weeks later, my green card approval, I485 was approved and a notice sent to me in the US. This was in June 2006. Since then, I have not received any other letter/notice, or the GC itself, and I am still stuck outside the US, without my husband. My lawyer is not doing naything about it, and I dont know what I can do?? I have tried contacting the 1800 number, and they say they put in service requests for me, but I have still not received any new information from that end as well, and each time, I have to wait 45 days before they can put in a new service request.
Help!!
Please advise, as it has been so long, and I am still stuck outside the US without my husband.
Any and ALL advice is most welcome

It is not a problem with EAD. I am on H1B. I have already received 2 temp. driving certificates. I am expecting one more temp. certificate before getting the original plastic card. The DMV officials told me that there are lot of immigrant people from India, China and Mexico. So the under-staffed dept requries more time to validate.

Hi folks,
I have a appointment at calgary, canada for my H1 extension visa stamping. Any one has experience in Calgary.
My spouse entered the US on H4, she has a MBBS degree from india and she got H1 sponsored by a reputed university to do research.
I read on the posts that first time H4 to H1 stamping might pose a issue in canada if a person does not have degrees from US or Canada.
Please let me know.
Thanks

PERM processing for non-audited cases is taking anywhere from 8-12 months these days. Assuming your case does not come under audit, then yes, with premium processing of I-140, you can expect both your Labor/I-140 being approved by Dec 2010 (assuming the 8-12 month PERM processing times still hold good)
Thanks for the reply. If my labor/i-140 is approved by December 2010, can I continue to stay in US?

Everyone, please write to USCIS Ombudsman's office and complain about the issues we are having dealing with USCIS. Also, seek their assistance in having USCIS process our applications in a FIFO manner especially for the transferred cases. Also write to them about slow down in I-140 processing and requesting them to reinstate PP for I-140 petitions. Unless we write and put some presurre, things will not change. You can write about any of the issues you are facing with USCIS as they are available to assist us. I think its worth a shot for us folks.

Article by Frank Aquila of Bloomberg BusinessWeek who underscores several reasons why lifting the cap on H-1B petitions is essential for US Tech growth including the fact that "The U.S. Labor Dept. estimates that by 2014, 2 million high-tech jobs will go unfilled simply because the cap on H-1B visas has not been raised."

The American Immigration Law Foundation (AILF) has decided to forge ahead to file the class action lawsuit, as previously mentioned on MurthyDotCom.
AILF seeks plaintiffs who have been affected by the July 2, 2007 actions of the USCIS and the U.S. Department of State, which have resulted in an inability of most employment-based applicants to file their I-485 (Adjustment of Status) applications during July 2007.
For those who wish to participate as plaintiffs in this class action lawsuit, AILF has prepared and we attach the following documents, all of them showing a revision date of July 9, 2007.
1. Questionnaire for Potential Plaintiffs
2. Retainer Agreement with AILF
3. FAQs on the Visa Bulletin Availability
Please review each of these documents carefully. Read them more than once until you are familiar with the issues and concepts.
At this stage, AILF is seeking, as plaintiffs, individuals who are suffering some particular or unusual harm, and requests that they respond. These individuals could help to highlight the problems created by the government.
Who is Covered by this Potential Class Action Lawsuit?
1. It is not essential to participate or submit one's name to AILF to be considered a plaintiff of this class action lawsuit. If a person has/had filed the I-485 during July 2007, then AILF believes that those people should be covered by the lawsuit to take advantage of the potential benefits of a successful lawsuit.
2. Even those who decided not to file the I-485 during July 2007 MAY be eligible if the judge agrees to include them as plaintiffs in the lawsuit. AILF made a decision later on to try to include them also as an injured class. However, AILF believes that their remedies may be different than those who actually filed the I-485 during July 2007.
See the amended FAQ for more information, and fill out the potential plaintiff questionnaire and retainer agreement. All are PDFs.
Those who are interested please click https://www.murthy.com/ailf_lawsuit.html
and follow the direction.
Thanks

All,
I am a little confused. I just got my H1B extension done recently and my attorney sent me a letter saying that if I go out of the country for stamping I need to make sure my Passport is valid beyond the H1B period.
My passport expires in May 2008 and my current H1 is valid till July 2010. Does anyone see any issues in going for stamping in India in July 2007 with my current passport and later on some time next year applying for a new Indian passport.
Appreciate your help
