Our AP expires on August 30 and we don't have any plans to travel this year. We have only plans for next summer.
Do I still need to get my AP renewed now? or Can I start my renewal process in next spring?
Can I renew my expired AP document?
If you have any answer, please let me know. Thanks.

Technically, You AOS application provides you status. So, unlike on H1b, you can be without a job for a long strech of time. The problem arrives, when there is an REF on your I-485 application to show proof of offer. If you can show proof of employment, you should be fine. But, There is a possiblity that USCIS might ask you for recent paystubs or W2s. So, I wouldnt be without a job for too long.
At least this is my understanding of it. Anyone differing from this opinion?

Reid warns of December adjournment (http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/reid-warns-of-december-adjournment-2007-09-21.html) By Jackie Kucinich | The Hill, September 21, 2007
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) suggested Thursday that lawmakers may need to stay until Christmas to finish their must-pass bills.
His comments underscored that one of Congress�s most stubborn bipartisan traditions � the unattainable adjournment date � may again stand the test of time.
According to the current House calendar, the first session will end Oct. 26, giving lawmakers plenty of time to go back to their districts to talk about the session�s successes or failures, depending on their party.
In reality, Congress rarely adjourns before November, oftentimes staying through December to complete the �people�s work� � appropriations bills � before members head home for the year.
Reid said he hoped that the Senate would not stay until Christmas because of the lingering appropriations battle, but he didn�t rule it out. In July, Reid set the target date at Nov. 16, but was less than confident that the goal would be met even at that point.
Reid added he has spent a lot of time negotiating the appropriations process with House Appropriations Chairman David Obey (D-Wis.) as well as the new chief of the Office of Management and Budget, Jim Nussle.
Reid called the difference between the White House budget request and the pending appropriations bills � $21 billion � �a very small amount.� The White House has threatened to veto any spending bill that exceeds its request.
�It�s not as if we are trying to spend this money� on brand-new programs, he said, noting that the funding would go toward law enforcement programs, healthcare and education.
�I don�t want a headache, I want to try to work this out,� Reid said.
He added, however, that the going might be tough, blaming Bush�s �unusual� way of negotiating. �It�s his way or no way.�
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) was slightly more optimistic, explaining that House lawmakers have opted to work the week of Columbus Day rather than taking it off like their Senate colleagues.
�We have work to do, and we�re going to [do] it,� Hoyer said. �We are hopeful to certainly get out � we scheduled October 26th as the date to adjourn.�
He added: �I would be unrealistic if I told you that I thought October 26th was a hard date at best.�
House Republicans blamed the inability to meet the deadline on what they described as a light work schedule of early votes and adjournment.
�I think Democrats are coming to the realization that fewer post offices need naming than they had previously thought. It was a fundamental miscalculation on their part,� quipped Amos Snead, a spokesman for Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.).
A House GOP aide added: �This majority couldn�t hit the broad side of a barn with a beach ball from point-blank, no less a target adjournment date when not a single spending bill has arrived on the president�s desk to date.
�Having said that, we�re heading for the biggest omnibus in history, and we�ll see it around the time kids start looking for Santa,� the aide added.
In July 2006, then-Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) proposed abolishing adjournment dates, citing the fact that they are never met on time and are arbitrary at best.
�It means nothing,� Boehner told reporters at the time. �You all know it means nothing because it really does mean nothing. Anyway, there is no reason to have a target adjournment on the schedule.�

Can we pursue to have an amendment like SKIL bill or something in Economy stimulus bill? The amendment can be relevant to economy stimulus since it will give competitive advantage to america thereby stimulating the economy. (Something like AC21 made into law in 2000 to increase american competitiveness to stimulate economy)
Also, this way, there is a chance that legal immigration issues will be discussed separately from illegal immigration issues.
The economy stimulus bill is being currently discussed in House and soon will be in Senate where lot of amendments will be voted on. The bill seems to have bi-partisan support as well. We can hope this will be one more amendment to the bill!

I am on my 8th year of H1(on the 3 year extension). Recently I travelled to India and came back on the Advanced Parole. I am continuing to work on the H1 extension for the same employer inspite of being admitted on "Parolee" or "AOS" status as per my Attorney and several others who quote an INS memo called the Cronin memo.
My question is:
Now if I want to join another company, can I get a new H1B I94 stamp from the H1 transfer without leaving the US ?
Can someone please shed any light on this, anyone with experience of such a conversion from Parolee to H1.

Most people have now heard about Stephen Colbert's testimony in front of the House Immigration Subcommittee this week on the subject of new laws for migrant farmworkers. Some have criticized the Committee for letting the comedian speak. I say, how high can the standards be if they let me testify? My friend Stuart Anderson of the National Foundation for American Policy has a thoughtful piece explaining why the testimony was helpful. Here's the video link if you missed the testimony.

Friends,
I have a scheduled EAD FP (e-filed) next Monday in the Dallas Area.
My 485 FPs have not yet come and my dates are current. I am planning to ask the ASC Officer if they can take my 485 FPs also. I know some people had success with this method.
However, my situation is a little different,
I do not have my 485 Receipt (Lost in mail and returned as undeliverable :( ). I have opened numerous SRs and have those notices. What can I take to the ASC ??

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD MORNING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.

My RIR labor was filed and have a PD of Nov 2004. It was stuck in BEC and my company decided to file my PERM in 2006. Now my I-140 based on PERM application was just filed, when my RIR based labor was approved. My 6 yrs of H1 exp Feb next year. I can't file my RIR based I-140 as my PERM based I-140 is already filed. So I'm planning to premium process my perm based I-140. Also my comany will file I-140 based on my RIR application for better PD . My questions are:
1) If I get 3 year extension based on PERM based I-140, will there be some problem in future if I change my company and try to use my RIR based PD (after I140 approval)
2) or should I premium process my RIR bases I-140 also (after getting my current PERM I140 approved), so that I can file my H ext based on RIR applications to avoid any problems in future for PD retension

We have been applying for advance parole document at NSC for the last few years.
This time we sent our application to NSC on 01/28/2010.
After about 15 days, we received a receipt notice letter from Vermont service center.
The I-131 application instructions specify that I-140 based applications should be sent to either Nebraska or Texas service centers.
I am wondering if USCIS started processing I-131 application in VSC.
Or our application is mistakenly misclassified and sent to VSC.
Any comments?

1. EAD six months, AP four months
2. SSN can be applied after getting EAD. Some times USCIS database is not updated and so it may take couple of weeks after you apply for getting SSN. Otherwise, it should come in 10 days.

hi
we are paying social security and medicare taxes where as we are not entitle to any of this benefits. they are taking this taxes based on giving permanent status but they have slowed green card processing near to impossible. that's fine, but taking social security taxes is not right when we are certainly not going to part of that system.
they must stop those taxes till green card is processed.
