Sounds correct - for labor sub, you need qualification as of labor filing.

Hi,
My spouse (Indian citizen) has received an RFE for her derivative I485 application.
Her birth certificate has a different first name than her passport. We had filed the birth certificate and an affidavit from her parents attesting to the change. But that doesn't seem to be sufficient.
The RFE states:
"Your birth certificate indicates that your first name is XXX and not YYY. Please explain and submit additional documentation in support of your claim".
...
"Copies of the personal pages in your passport OR affidavits are not sufficient to establish a legal name change. Court documents submitted as evidence of name change must have been registered with the proper civil authority".
We now plan to submit the following:
1. Court Affidavit filed by my spouse's father at that time of legal name change, at age 3. This affidavit was before a Sessions Judge in India. This was the legal process of changing her name at that time.
Will this be sufficient? We don't understand what it means for a court document to be registered with the proper civil authority. Can you please advice?
2. My spouse has a Certificate of Age, Domicile and Nationality issued by the State Goverment of Maharashtra that refers to the new first name and also refers to the birth certificate as well, as proof.
Will that count as sufficient "registration with civil authority"?
I would appreciate if someone who has go through this issue would comment on the proper ways of addressing this.
thanks!

Hi,
My EB2 labor PD 12/2002 is in Philadelphai backlog center. With the online backlog case status now available, I wanted to find out about my case.
However, lawyer is not giving my case number. Is there any way to find out. Gurus please help with suggestions.
Thanks
Talking to your employer is better than asking attorney.Sometimes Attorny dont respond to the candidate.

This USCIS fiasco seems to have more twists than Anna Nicole Smith case.
Here is new father of the fiasco:
http://www.immigration-law.com/
07/12/2007: Truth to Rumor of Resrictionist Senators Having Influenced USCIS Decision of July 2007 EB New Filing
There is an unconfirmed source of information that a couple of restrictionist U.S. Senators influenced the USCIS decision to reject July applications for their alleged fear that since July 2007 Visa Bulletin would open a flood gate of hundreds of thousands of 485 applications, the public might take it as the government giving out a sort of "amnesty" to these floods of people. We hope that there is no truth to such rumor. However, if it is true, it is indeed shocking that individual legislators could interfere with the government process on "personal" basis and without the formal legislative process of public notice and participation. We urge the U.S. Senate to get to the bottom of this rumor and take appropriate action for correction under the Senate rules.

I'm from Bangldesh
EB3
My PD is may 2006
I already received my EAD, AP
even last month the Mar 2006 was current. Any chance that my I485 will be approved in short time. My H1b is also expiring on October 2008. Should i renew it or just wait for my I485 approval....
Please advice me gurus....
renew it. However there is no need to file H1 renewal right now, you can wait and file it even a few days before its expiry, and continue working while the renewal is pending. So plan on renewing, but dont file till Sept 2008 in case you get an approval before that.

not sure at this critical moment you are seeking your answer in a forum instead knocking the attorney's door.

My date will be current from September 1st. Is it okay to travel to India on a short trip while the date is current? If 485 gets approved while I am india, can I still come back on advance parole?
You are safe. Just make sure that your AP is valid when you re-enter.
If you are approved while out of the country, take a print out of your approval email and show it to the Immigration officer.

Here is my estimate on the timeframe:
Prepare job description etc. - 1 to 2 months (depends on company and attorney)
Prevailing Wages - 2 months (this is based on the current centralized processing)
Recruitment Process - 2 to 3 months (depends on company and attorney)
PERM Labor approval - 9 months (if it gets audited, it would take around 2 years)
I140 - 4 months (you can reduce it if you can file premium processing)
I485 - This depends on the EB category & VISA dates - if it is EB3 India, it would probably be 7-10 years or more
I am not trying to be pessimistic. This is based on what I have observed and read. I have been in this country for 10 years on H1B. I am currently waiting for my Prevailing Wages request to be processes (for my 3rd labor application). It is a long process, but as long as you are working for a good company that treats you well, you should be able to endure the pain.

They might accept the application but send in an RFE with a request to pay the difference ;)
Wish USCIS accepts applications after 27th and ask for the fee difference .. Win Win for all if the fee was the concern for USCIS .. hehe:D :D

Yes that�s a good suggestion. We need more people than whose GC is stuck. One issue is motivating them. I was almost shocked to see the indifference of many immigrants � some of them who went through the same process very recently. I came here almost 10 years ago as a student and many of my friends got GC�s/citizenship (they had their own hassles but now its over). When I talk to them what is going on now � they simply express surprise over how/why I didn�t get it even now and forget it. But I don�t feel bad to remind them again to visit this site or something else and do something (sending faxes /talking to their employers / contributing money/ whatever they can). My point is � don�t expect an immediate action from any, even friends � especially if this does not affect them; but don�t let this discourage you. Engage them in a discussion � most of them already know the terminology like retrogession/140/485/labor etc � remind them their own process and how difficult it was and how finally there is a systematic effort to do something about it. I am sure at least some people will respond favorably.
There is so much momentum right now; if we miss this � we know the consequences.

Thanks a lot guys. Thats a relief. And YES I have contributed to IV.
Mr Dalai Lama, you did not choose to solve my problem and no one gave the authority to be rude by randomly asking if I contributed. Please do not bother to respond.
We all are here for same cause. I am aware of IV's efforts. Keep up the tempo guys. In addition to all this we sure can pray !
Keep it up !
