My wife is on F1 visa and I am hoping the dates will move soon and we will be able to file 485. I would like to know if
>she can file 485 by being in F1 ?
If you are under H1b and she is applying for 485 together with you then answer is yes she can.
>Once she files being in F1, can she still continue to be on F1 and travel in and out of US on F1?
No because F1 is for non immigrant as F1 you show that you have no intention to move to US but once your file your I-485 you show an intention to move and stay in US therefore F1 is no longer valid.
>What will be her status when she starts using EAD if she filed being in F1?
Once she filed 485 she will be waiting for her status to be Permanent resident.
her F1 is no longer valid. She can work using her EAD but if I485 got reject she will be automatically out of status and has to go out from US.
I'm not a lawyer what I've told and writte has to be confirm with your attorney.
Also Please see below answer by Attorney Murthy:
Hello. My wife is studying on F-1 visa and I filed I-485 for her. (I have a valid H1B.) Can we now change from AOS to CP? Will this in any way affect her status or mine?
Attorney Murthy : A person on F-1 is no longer considered on F-1 status once she files the I-485 papers, unlike the person on an H1B who is legally allowed to maintain both statuses. So, if a person who only had F-1 status switches to CP, then the spouse has to switch to H-4 status in the U.S. immediately. Otherwise, she is considered out of status in the U.S. if the USCIS agrees to cancel the I-485 and convert the case to CP.

Politicians are politicians every where. India or USA their intensions are the same. Always cause a trouble to the ruling party, no mercy for the general public who suffer directly with their actions.
Shutdown means no work for 800k fedaral employees. Hence no wages. But bills won't stop.
Hope for the best.
Fringe Warning Start---
I am not into conspiracy theories, but this one sounds like one, i.e. Mr. Oppenhemer (not sure about the spelling), announced major advances to the EB 2 I queue in the last week of March, now did he know the government was shutting down ?, possibly, well if the Govt shuts down, all visa offices/ Passport / Immigration offices shutdown, so let us say if the dates do advance considerably, and voila the Govt shuts down, well most of the folks will be current but unable to file for change in status due to shutdown, and when the Govt comes back up so will the visa numbers retrogress. I hope I am totally wrong, but you never know.

It is fine for you NOW that you received your GC now and "see" the plight of IO. You are drinking cool aid now under the awnings of Green card. It is now tough for you to understand the plight of the people on "this" side as you crossed over to the "other"side. It is the same old story of people who got their GC and Citizenship dont care about the people who are going to wait for dog long years. Imagine what would have you done, if you didn't receive your GC in 15 days time, i am sure that by this time you would have shaked the earth from heaven to hell by calling your senators, ombudsman, alderman, congressmen etc. Instead of giving advice to others to understand the plight of IO's, keep your emotions under check and encourage others to do their best. Do not post unnecessary comments.
buddyinsd is a crap. dont even bother responding to him... his grey matter sends him a signal to go to any thread and vomit. when put in ignore he starts barking to gain attention.
On the other hand i would strongly encourage people to do what they can do. in my example i have done what a person can do maximum and got positive results. I have even got a phone call from secretary janet's office. loosers like buddyinsd will discourage people to take action for there green card but you guys dont have to stop. it is your fight not this losser's fight.

Thanks for your respons. I felt a bit relieved.
I cannot renew my Driver's License if I don't have a valid work permit. I doubt whether the Receipt notice is enough for the Drivers License office to issue a new DL. I changed my employer and the new employer may ask for a new one. But I'm hoping that I might get one in less than 3 months. Let's see
I am in a similar situation. I applied just 95 days before. My lawyer "forgot" and I applied in a rush in the end. I am hoping it will not be a problem.
My understanding is that you will remain in status even if you do not have EAD or AP. However you cannot work.
I have a meeting with my lawyer on wednesday. I will be asking her about this. I am hoping for peace of mind that this does not become an issue.

Thanks gbof and Anil for replying...
I raised SR on Aug 12th..No Response Yet...
Infopass appointment said that my file got assigned to Examination officer on Aug 4th...Not sure if Examination Officer and IO are same or not...
But the real kicker is i got second FP on July 26th, 2010 for Code 1...I didnt see any LUD after second FP...I am guessing this is where i am stuck with second time name check or back ground check verifications...
Also is it good to go for DHS 7001 form right way...i mean ombudsman request...
I will propose that you call USCIS customer service and talk to a 2nd level officer to find out the status of your case.. It doesn't hurt to pursue from this point.
I am unaware of any concrete proof that contacting Congressman or Ombudsman has actually helped directly...Most of us are just speculating on this.
I think you need to hear the fact that your case is assigned to an officer..Then it is just a matter of time.
Good Luck. Keep us posted.

In my opinion, as they are running with these immigration related bills despite the tight schedule and limited time they have on their hands before they go on recess (for election), the chances (to pass these bills) have to be decently high. Otherwise, I doubt if they would put so much time and effort if they know for sure this would fail.
However, as Pappu pointed out, the success relies a lot on we guys calling everyone on the list to seek their support and counter numberusa or similar groups' attempt to shoot these bills down.
So, lets call - PLEASE.

Hi meghanap: Thanks for your useful info.
I am the primary applicant. Mine and kid's case is at TSC, but my spouse's case transferred to Detroit offcie , for the interview. We had the interview 4 months ago, and the DAO said that she would recommend my spouse's case for approval, however it has to wait until the approval of my app. My kid and I got the approval on Oct 22.
So, now do I have to take an infopass, and request for the yellow form to get approval on the case. Do we get approval from local USCIS office itself or will it come back to TSC? Do you know how long would it take for the approval to come. Or can I call Senator, Ombudsmand, ans start all those cr.. again.
Hi,
This info is for the cases who had the interview local USCIS offices where they live.
After interview ,pls take info pass for every 2 or 3 weeks and when you meet infopass officer, please fill up one yellow form (this form used to send any request to any other department who handled 485 cases.) to adjudicate your case.Make sure you give your i-485 copies and i-140 copies, You can write at least 5 or 6 sentences at the end of the yellow form to supervisor epalining when u r intervew is completed ,,u r PD is current etc etc.
The way it works like this :
The dept that takes care i-485 interviews is different from the dept infopass officers in local office.Even though they are in same office, the only way infopass officers can send request the 485 dept is using the yellow form..Pls request for it. Then most of the times info pass officer fils up the form and you will add any additional info at the end of the form. Then infopass officer will send the form to 485 dept supervisor.Supervisor will see the yellow form..if you are lucky he/she wil take action imediatly..otherwise go again after 2 weeks..Request the info pass officer twice or thrice..
This helped me...

Of course yes its for our interest BUT don't forget that its against a violation. Tomorrow if the same organization brings resources in H-1B/EAD/GC/Citizenship we are not going to complain about it ... because its within whats allowed by the law, I think thats the purpose of having rules ... to have a fair playing ground ... think abt the havoc/chaos these companies could create by bringing people without any visa (illegally across borders) and talk about 'closing the doors and me not brought up that way', do you think that anyone including you would support that???. Here the purpose of L-1B visa is misused and blindly violated, so lets move in the right direction, we are not asking all L-1B visas to be banned BUT to investigate the abusal of that visa category and we are just pointing out the incidents where we think its getting violated. Lets see who is on right/wrong side. We'll leave the decision part to ICE/USCIS/Other agencies involved.
I think you are doing the right thing here. My question .. what are the typical signs you need to watch out for to determine L1 violations are happening? How do you collect information / evidence that ICE or USCIS could find helpful and act upon?

I've been using Lingo for 3+ years, I called them to ask if they are aware(of course they are), rep said within a week they are coming up with a plan that's better than Vonage. unlimited calling to india and 100+ countries for $22.95. Plus i think they are going to include some free minutes every month that you can use to call india from your work or cell phone using a toll free or access # (just like you use Reliance).
Rep said you will receive an email in a week or so about the new offer/plan.
If you are already a Lingo customer I'd wait a week, Lingo has history of beating any competing plan.

It seems that EB application in general have slowed down in October and especially this week. Of those, from data which appears to be the broadest sample available, most approvals seem to be EB2, very few EB3s, and few EB1s(possibly anemic demand due to economy, which augurs well for spillover eventually).Furthermore, less than half are EB2ROW.
Based on this observation, I think that the approvals coming out now represent those that remain on the IO desks from last month. They just slowed down their work rates. I think that they could care less about what we are doing to have our cases adjudicated. They have their way of doing things and nothing you say or do will change that. The latest thing they are telling public officials inquiring on your behalf is that they have a work flow which they will not interrupt. The issue is, their work flow is based on nothing but randomness. Those inquiring are those that have been badly screwed by their "work flow". They will not answer to why older PDs and RDs are being left behind while later ones are making the "work flow".
My guess is that the IO desks will slow things up until after the next VB, later this week, then, based on the current demand for EB2I, we will see some retrogression, exactly how much I do not know, but a few months probably, maybe to somewhere in mid 2004, and then they will request more batches of work based on that bulletin, which will then give them a more diverse(of origin and EB category) group of files for the rest of Oct. and Nov. than they got for Sept. and early Oct.
The Dec. bulletin will entirely be based on their internal decisions on whether to use spillover quarterly or not. If they decide to use it quarterly, then we will see a decent forward jump in PDs for EB2I, and if they decide not to, then PDs will languish in the mid 2004 time frame give or take a few months until the usual summer song and dance session next year.
The USCIS calls this efficiency. I wish these folks to be on the receiving end of their own treatment in their next life.

Current visa bulletin states following.
2. Section 201 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) sets an annual minimum family-sponsored preference limit of 226,000. The worldwide level for annual employment-based preference immigrants is at least 140,000. Section 202 prescribes that the per-country limit for preference immigrants is set at 7% of the total annual family-sponsored and employment-based preference limits, i.e., 25,620. The dependent area limit is set at 2%, or 7,320.
Question: What does the line 'Section 202 prescribes that the per-country limit for preference immigrants is set at 7% of the total annual family-sponsored and employment-based preference limits, i.e., 25,620.' means???
