:)Our check was cashed today 08/22
We paid with one check for: two I-485�s, and two EAD�s. In little space on the check where it says �for� I wrote fees. So, just want to let you know from my experience that, obviously, it does not matter if you paid with one check for all forms and applicants (in our case total was $1,150) or with separate checks for each application.
Our details:
PD � Aug., 2005
EB-3 ROW
I-485, EDA � reached TSC on Jul. 2nd
Check cashed � 08/22
Called Bank of America and got all 4 case numbers from the back of the check.
Checked INS website � applications were received on Aug. 21st and currently pending.
Receipts were mailed .
All applications were prepared and sent by lawyer, so I don�t know exact time when they reached INS or who signed for it.
Good luck everybody !

Below is data of PD from last four years for EB2-I - only for Jun, Jul & Aug.
Except July Fiasco , I don't see dates ever moving forward in July VB; but they do move in August VB.
Has anything changed in spillover laws in last 1 year - which will explain this no movement in July but in August?
Jun 06 : 01JAN03 | July 06 : 01JAN03 | August 06 : U ---> No change in July. Aug backward
Jun 07 : 01APR04 | July 07 : C | August 07 : U ---> July Fiasco
Jun 08 : 01APR04 | July 08 : 01APR04 | August 08 : 01JUN06 ---> No change in July. Aug forward
Jun 09 : 01JAN00 | July 09 : 01JAN00 | August 09 : 01OCT03 ---> No change in July. Aug forward
Jun 10 : 01FEB05 | July 10 : ?????? | August 10 : ???? ---> Do your really expect forward movement in July?

if only we knew about this program in advance, we could've called. :mad:
Yes. Even I did not know it. I was trying to find out if Cspan was showing the hearings in Dallas and found this. I immediately tried calling the lines but they all seemed busy. There were some callers who were criticizing foreign high skilled immigrants and that jobs were being taken away from them and wages were being lowered and they are being allowed to come and stay in the country.
Lets see how the hearings go in Dallas. FYI IV has tried contacting the speakers in the hearing.

my new 140 is file in april and is approved. got my EAD and AP. But no FP.
I also dont expect to get the GC so fast. its more of a red flag and concern what they are trying to look for.
No Red Flag as the letter clearly says it is a standard interview.
It will be a formality where you show your status was always legal and you have a valid job offer in line with your Labor. That will be it.

My F1 visa was rejected for no good reason long back, before i even came on H1B. So its kind of scary every time I have to go for visa stamping. Its very random. Guess its just the fear inside me.
So I guess its all about the risk, if or not I want to get my H1B visa stamped or just wait for the freaking AP.
I was in the same boat as you and came here subsequently on H1. I do not think your F1 reject has any bearing on your H1 stamping both are different. If your stay in the US has been lawful, no gaps, out of status etc then you should be good be in good shape. You know the drill on the documents to carry etc if needed to get the stamping out of country.
cheers

gc_chahiye, Thanks for your response. So, can I be on H1 with my current employer, A, and on EAD with my new employer, B, simultaneously?
Also, employer B might be able to start me on H1-B (my preference--just in case)--though as you said, B will have petition my new H1 for concurrent filing. My other option, of course, is to wait until Feb '08--though I'll miss out on a month's salary from B (not a biggie in order to not have any potential issues).

Very Good Research. I just gave you Green.
Since there was talk of the HR 5882 being taken up in two months time in a lame duck session, I thought it might be helpful to have this on this page.
Source = http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/uscongress/a/lameduck.htm
Lame Duck Sessions of the U.S. Congress
Once rare, now commonplace
By Robert Longley, About.com
Lame duck sessions of the U.S. Congress happen in even numbered years when Congress has to reconvene following the November general election to take care of unfinished legislation. Some lawmakers who return for this session lost their bids for reelection and will not be in the next Congress. Hence, they are informally called "lame duck" members participating in a "lame duck" session.
The possibility of lame duck sessions of Congress began in 1935, when the 20th Amendment1 to the U.S. Constitution2 took effect. Under this amendment, ratified in 1933, regular sessions of Congress begin on January 3 of each year, unless Congress passes a law in the previous session changing the date. Also, the terms of members begin and end on January 3 of odd-numbered years. Under these arrangements, any meeting of Congress between election day in an even-numbered year and the following January 3 is considered a lame duck session.
Why lame duck sessions are bad
Lame duck sessions are never desirable. Defeated lame duck lawmakers, knowing they will not have jobs in the new Congress, either tend to "just go through the motions" while debating and voting on remaining important legislation or, in worse cases, attempt to hinder or even damage the lawmaking process. On the state level, the legislatures of only 11 states even allow lame duck sessions.
By far the most dismal scenario for a lame duck session is whenever one of the two major political parties has taken away majority control of one or both houses of Congress from the other party, as happened after the 2006 mid-term election, when the Democrats won control of both the House and Senate from the Republicans. In these instances, with political tempers already running hot, the temptation for lame duck members to vent their frustrations by working to stall good bills, while turning bad bills into worse laws, becomes even greater.
Why lame duck sessions happen
Once rare, lame duck sessions have become all too common. The final days of the 109th Congress in November and December of 2006 became the 16th lame duck session since 1940.
The typical "target" date for the annual adjournment of each session of Congress is during the first week in October. The target adjournment date has become a total myth in recent years. The first session of the 109th Congress, for example, did not achieve final adjournment until Dec. 22, 2005.
During far too many recent years, the main reason for lame duck sessions has been Congress' failure to complete its work on the spending, or "appropriations" bills that form the basis of the annual federal budget. By law, the federal budget process3, including passage of the spending bills, begins the first Monday in February of each year and should be concluded by October 1st, the start of the federal government's Federal Fiscal Year. Failing to pass the spending bill by October 1, Congress is compelled to pass "continuing resolutions4," legislation that allows the government operate temporarily without an approved budget at the previous year's spending levels.
Lame duck sessions: some bad, some not so bad
Some sessions are not particularly productive, often because of political disputes and the difficulties of reaching legislative decisions in a post-election environment. In 1982 and 2002, for example, Congress returned after the November election in part to complete work on most of the spending bills. In each case, it failed to do so and the new Congress had to enact large continuing resolutions to fund government operations for the fiscal year already in progress.
Other lame duck sessions, such as the one held in 1980, have been more productive. On that occasion, Congress approved budget resolution and reconciliation measures, five regular appropriations bills and a continuing resolution, an Alaska lands bill, a landmark environmental cleanup "superfund" bill, a measure extending revenue sharing, a revision of military pay and other benefits, and a bill changing the appointment power of the Senate President pro tempore.

Just a bump...and my two cents.
I don't own a D70, I have 10D but...I work in a local camera shop and sell D70's, left and right I might add. I'm hearing quite a bit about this backfocusing issue but nobody seems to be referring to it in the same manner. Most people are just saying their images are soft. At first it seemed like the problem was mainly happening for the people who were used to P/S cameras or simply not used to Nikon's AF system, so we basically gave suggestions similar to what you find here and told them that they could still return the cameras to Nikon if they were in warranty. Anyway, my one co-worker that doesn't shoot Canon buys a D70 and sure enough, he's complaining about soft focus. At middle apertures (on the kit lens, mind you) like 5.6 and 8 his images look sorta acceptable, but not tack sharp. We tried out the 12-24 and got better results (maybe just a sharper lens overall?), as well as with the 10mm fisheye, and of course all of the longer zooms, 80-200, and 200-400 were sharp. Could it just be that the kit lens, which nearly everyone has is just garbage? This guy is now seriously considering the 20D.

Here is my situation, someone please suggest me:
I am using EAD to work for my GC sponsoring company and I got laid off. My HR says that they are going to inform USCIS that I am no longer working for them. HR also says that they won’t cancel my approved I-140 and going to rehire me once I get the new project.
My question:
When I joined them there is information to USCIS.I just filled I-9 form and gave it to the company, no information to USCIS. Now when I got terminated what is the need for the company to inform this to USCIS? Anyhow I am going to join them once I get the new project in couple of months. Is it a new law? Will there be any problem at the POE if travel outside US and come back using AP? Is there any chance that USCIS sends me RFE?
Thanks In Advance
If you are not on H1 there is no reason to inform the USCIS. Make sure that they are not including your I-140 receipt number or A#.
Actually informing that you do not have a job is sufficent to revoke your I-140.
