In a recent decision, RUIZ-DIAZ v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the court ruled that Petitioners who filed or will file a Petition for Special Immigrant Religious Worker Visa (Form I-360) with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (�USCIS�) on behalf of individual beneficiaries are hereby notified that you or your beneficiary may now file an Application for Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) and, if your beneficiary seeks employment status as an adjustment applicant, an Application for Employment Authorization (Form I-765) even if USCIS has not yet issued a final administrative decision regarding the I- 360 petition. Previously, the I-360 had to be adjudicated before the adjustment package could be filed.
The Court has invalidated USCIS� bar against concurrent filings as an unreasonable
interpretation of the governing statute. Pursuant to an order dated June 11, 2009, USCIS is required to accept as properly filed adjustment of status applications (Form I-485) and employment authorization applications (Form I-765) from individuals who are beneficiaries of petitions for special immigrant visas (Form I-360 (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137192.html)), whether submitted concurrently with or subsequent to the visa petition, provided the applications meet USCIS� valid filing requirements.
Bear in mind that this decision may be subject to Appeal, so things can still change. But for now this is a victory to the applicants filing under this category.

VIA USCIS.GOV
In November 2010, USCIS transferred approximately 36,000 Immediate
Relative petitions from�our California Service Center to our Texas
Service Center. We anticipated that this redistribution�of work would
result in more timely adjudication of these petitions. Due to a number
of�unforeseen circumstances at our Texas Service Center, many of these
cases have not been�processed and are beyond our estimated processing
times. We sincerely regret any inconvenience�this may have caused you
and we are making every effort to remedy this situation as soon as
possible.
On Feb. 7, 2011, we implemented a rapid response plan to expedite the
adjudication of these�petitions. We have transferred a large number of
these Immediate Relative petitions back to our�California Service
Center to take advantage of resources currently available to
immediately�process these cases. Petitioners will see an action such
as an approval, denial or a Request for�Evidence (RFE) on their case
from our California or Texas Service Centers by the end of�February.
Additionally, we have briefed the Department of State’s National Visa
Center about�these cases.
We encourage you to monitor the progress of your case by accessing My
Case Status online. If�you do not see any action on your case, such as
an approval, denial or an RFE, by March 1, 2011�you may contact USCIS
at: I-130Inquiries.Tsc@dhs.gov
We remain committed to the prompt resolution of all pending cases and
will provide updates on�our progress in the coming weeks.

I have filed I-485 in Aug2007 and am in retrogression. I am currently working for my sponsoring employer on H1 but also have EAD and AP. I have to go to India to address parents health issues and may have to stay there for possibly 6-9 months. I plan on re-entering using AP.
1) Will my GC application stay active if I am gone for such a long time?
2) My fingerprinting was done long ago - do I need to be in US when my case is adjudicated and GC approval is sent in the mail?
3) Since I will lose my current job due to the long absence, will that be an issue at POA since I wont have a current job or a job offer letter to show the IO?

There really is no science behind the time line to be honest. All i can do is tell you my experience.
I came to the USA in July 2008 on an L1A visa in category EB3 c (Multi national Executive or Manager). On Oct 9th 2009 my companies attorney filed for the I-140 and I-485 concurrently for me and my family. I received my EAD in November 09 and my I-140 was approved on the 18th of March 2010. My green card (I-485) was approved on the 22nd of April 2010 and I received my actual card on the 30th of April 2010.
As I said above there is no science to the time line, its really a case of take a ticket and hope for the best but mine took a total of 6 months from start to finish. This is pretty quick to be honest but my attorney was very good.
Hope this helps.

Hello Gurus,
My 6 years H1B visa term is expiring on Apr 30th 2008. My company filed 3 years of extension on approved I140 basis, which is still pending as of Apr 30th 2008. And my I 94 is dated till Apr 30th 2008.
I filed my I 485 in June 2007 and got EAD and AP
1) What will be my status after Apr 30 2008. Will I still be on H1 status, if not what will be my status.
And what is 'H1 pending for 240 days rule'.
Your answer is very much appriciated.

In very simple terms : Progressive experience means your job responsibilities increase with time.
Have a question related to that:
If job / EB2 stipulates Bachelors + 5 years criteria, does it imply 5 years after obtaining the degree or can the experience be cumulative ?

Dont count on it. There is very narrow chance. If you opt CP in 140, NVC will send your papers to consulate abroad, only after your PD become current. Consulate will take their own time to arrange the interview. It will take one month to six months after they recive your file from NVC. During that period the PD has to be always current. Consulate takes out visa numbers for CP, only after a successful interview. If your PD retrogress with in a month (like last year fiasco) consulate will not schudle a interview till it become current again. In that case your file will stuck for ever. Therefore, 485 is the best route. CP is the best route, only if the cutoff dates does not flutuate or retrogress back.

You could travel out and enter into US using your old visa stamp assuming that you enter before your old visa stamp expires. However show the new approved I-797 H1B petition at port of entry and they MOSTLY will give you a new I-94 valid till the expiration of new I-797 approval.
That's wonderful news and thank you for that. Is there a benefit of getting a 1-94 upto the extended date, does 1-94 determine the visa validity not the actual visa stamp? Since I-94 is taken when exiting US the next entry requires visa stamp anyway?
Thanks again.

Wife and I applied for our 485 on june 16th 2007 and we got our receipt numbers and did our biometrics on August 1st. As of yesterday I got my EAD card. My wife has not. Is that common or is this something I need to be worried about. If anyone has any knowledge, please let me know. I checked USCIS where i have an online account and have registered all the receipt numbers, for her it says it's still pending.
Thanks folks and great job by everyone. appreciate all the help provided here and god luck to every one.

Hi All,
My LC was approved recently(PD June 2004). The location/office for which my LC was initially filed was closed recently.
My company(which has offices all over states) has another locations/Offices in the same metropolitan area.The company attorney is saying that they can use my approved LC to file my I-140(and I-485 concurrently) for another location in the same area as long as it is within commuting distance of the original location.
Was wondering if anyone knows about this?
Thanks

maybe this question has been asked before, I just couldn't find the thread.
These days with tons and tons of I-485 applications received every morning, how is USCIS gonna decide which one to process first?
If it's strictly on "first received, first processed" base, then it may well be that one guy with 3/07 PD date may have his application processed earlier (thus earlier AP and EAD) than one with 5/06 PD date. Simply because the 3/07 PD guy sent out the package much earlier than the 5/06 PD one.
Do I understand correctly?
Is this fair, though?
There is already a thread open for it. Please read it.

I think digital camera marked is very close to home computers. I used to buy the latest and greatest computer every yar and a half or so, until I realized I spent a hefty premium for the cutiing edge, and the next level down (yesterday's best) was so much cheaper, and offered all I needed. Camera bodies I believe are just about there.
