Today when I looked the I-485 status I found the status changed to card production ordered. I'm traveling to India on 1st Dec (coming saturday). It is a business trip and I'm unable to postpone it. My attorney says If I travel now, they will consider the GC abandoned. Is this true?? I have an approve AP with me. I also planned to stamp my H1B visa in India. What a confusion!
Gurus please give your thoughts.

What if you are a non-immigrant who does not know about the "case status online" and you travel outside the U.S without knowing that your case has been approved. This is where your AP comes into picture as you informed about your impending travel needs to USCIS and they approved it by issuing the Parole doc. So, I am not sure about your case getting abandoned.
But, if your lawyer says that your application will be considered as abandoned, I would listen to his/her advice rather than any of us on this forum since none of us are qualified attorneys. The only exception would be a person who has travelled outside while the GC got approved and has been thru this situation before.
You may also want to post your query at www.immigrationportal.com
In any case, if you can postpone the travel or get an I-551 stamp like someone else mentioned, please do that.

It will be helpful if we are allowed to apply for I-485 & EAD, even if the visa numbers are not available. They could atleast throw this bone to us, which will be helpful in not needing H1B and allow us to change jobs. Hope they make this amendment to this Bill.
I know the Core team will already be working on this.

I would like to post a positive answer, but the fact is "it does not" . Unless the "DO Noting" Congress Does something - no relief soon. If you are young and in EB3 (with '08) PD, Use this time to earn a higher degree if possible and at some point in future, it might help you apply under the E2 or E1 category.

Before I say any thing further, I want to clarify that I am NOT asking for any action but want to point out to a unique Gandhigiri protest idea proposed by one of our members:
On one of the posts rajmehrotra suggested "Something like a mass blood donation drive will garner empathy and publicity in a positive way." This was seconded by another member Gravitation. Not sure what other people think but I personally liked this idea very much.
So please save this idea for future use if others also recommend it.
So you thought that because the flower campaign worked, we should come up with a similar approach.. As IV has suggested, make awareness by meeting your lawmakers , put yourself on youtube, contribute to IV etc. if you really want to campaign. Just giving blood which perhaps would not be donated is insane.

The other thing I don't understand is how come EB-1 and EB-2 which are current (for ROW) atleast can suddenly become U.
Did USCIS stop paying attention to EB-2 vs EB-3 classification?
How about country limits? Did USCIS give India more than 3K visas?
Also, aren't the visas released quarterly? So, how come the visas that were to be released in July, got consumed in June?

Hello,
If you want to go through the process for UK visa, then it is much better to get the 10 year multi entry visa ... it costs you bit more, but then you don't have to worry about transit visa anymore (esp when BA, Virgin, Jet and Kingfisher offer good deals)...
The 10 yr visa takes 2 weeks flat...

Everyone who is frustrated: please have some restraint.
Shouting out, and making fun of lawmakers does not behoove us if we are working with their offices.
Imaigine this: We go into a lawmaker's office (which we do quite often even now, even tho CIR is dead) and explain who we are, our situation, retrogression, etc. etc. and then the staff comes to us and says: By the way, your website has said "This" about my boss, congressman XYZ.
What do you think we are going to say to them? That we practice first amendment rights on our forums where we openly trash you, and the next morning, we walk into your office and ask for provisions and legislations to help us????
First amendment is great to have when you need to rebel, protest and outright oppose someone. Not when you are looking to work with someone and advocate. There is a huge difference between advocacy and protest.
So legal, others, while it provides a great deal of relief to lash out at congressmen, or media, (I've done my share of mistakes in this regard, so I know) try to do it in a way that it doesnt make us look like fools when we go to their office asking for favors/provisions.

Great news! The Hatch widows bill (which removes the requirement that a couple must have been married for two years before a US citizen dies) passed and included in that bill were provisions extending the religious worker green card program and the Conrad 30 J-1 physician waiver program. Each of these programs were extended for three years. The EB-5 regional center program for immigrant investors was permanently reauthorized by the Senate yesterday. The House must agree to these amendments before they go to the President and I do not yet know whether the bill will go back to the House...

IV core members have been in media MANY times.
Aman Kapoor(Fox News, Washington Post), Shilpa Ghodgaonkar(Washington Post, South Asia Insider), Siva Singaram(NBC), Pratik Dakwala (FOX 2-Bay area) are just to quote a few.
None of these guys have been deported, fired, stoned or died. They are alive, well, working and proud to have been there to show up when needed.
We are legal immigrants. Even if you are illegal, you shouldnt be afraid to speak up. If legal hi-skills educated immigrants shy away from exercising constitutional rights of speaking up, then what can we say?
I would be happy to speak up but just an FYI, we donot have any constitutional rights. We are second class citizens at the best, and slaves in a different form at worst.And that is not ranting of someone who has been in line for half a decade. Here's the proof.
I love skeet shooting but the law prevents me (or anyone who is on a "nonimmigrant" visa) from buying a gun. Thats second amendment rights that were awarded to everyone living in the USA.

Summer travel season is around the corner, and unfortunately, because of the swine flu scare, each and every person entering India from USA (and some other countries) will have to go through a medical screening (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/American--European-visitors-to-be-screened-for-swine-flu/articleshow/4457075.cms) at the airports beginning yesterday. Some chaos is expected, particularly in busy terminals such as Delhi and Mumbai, given that "Airport authorities said they are still in the dark and are yet to gear up for these checks". So, it may be a good idea if those of you, who have just returned from India, share your experiences with this procedure; for example, the likelihood of facing stricter screening (or even a brief quarantine) if someone sneezes/coughs for any reason, or the "fitness certificate" forms that airlines are supposed to hand over to each passenger, etc.
I personally think this is nothing but a pay back time.. Remember when Bird Flu or SARS breakout happened, how US and other countries reacted and were screening people (travelers) from East.. In a way this "might" help in containing the virus but deep down this is just stupid ego.
You did to me so I will do the same to you..

Please give your fair share folks (volunteer for time or your contribution). If nothing else become a monthly contributor so that IV can pursue our objectives with one less thing to worry about. Every individual matters, get yourself counted by not just posting but contributing for your only chance to get out of this mess.

Can people share their experience with same day counter passport collection from the vfs courier center at Chennai.
Reason I ask is, I and my wife have a 9AM appointment on 14th August. And Aug 15th being a holiday on account of India's Independence Day. Since we have to be in US on the 16th August to file for I485, getting the visa on the 16th would be too late. Therefore, it's critical that we collect the passport the same day.
Is anyone else in a similar situation? Should I inform the consular of our same night travel plans or is that ill-advised?
thanks
Same day passport collection - you gotta be lucky to get it on the same day.
Passports arrive at VFS in batches every 2 hours or so, in general, you get it the next day, you maybe lucky and get it the same day.
You have to wait from 2 to 4 pm at VFS office for passports to arrive in Alwarpet.

Kothuri you are most helpful. I agree and think I will benefit from filing one, but am concerned about the cost involved doing so.
I currently cannot rely on my former employers lawyer and will have to pay for this myself.
Can you give me an indication on the total amount of hours spend by your lawyer/total cost for doing this on your behalf?
