sundarpn,
your H1 was approved very recently. I guess that was the reason for your passport delay..
If I am not wrong.. i read somewhere that your passport was delayed.. that was the reason i posted above reply.. correct me if i am wrong..

They may not the FPs for everybody but they can always run the names against suspected persons list.
It is easier to obtain names than finger prints.

wait for atleast 4 (6 is better still) months to figure out if it is in the "stuck in NC" status !
but it is pending with FBI since Aug 1st. Looks like they also check for fragmented names.
This is my opinion, not an advise. Use it at your own risk.

I am trying to find out if filing a DHS-7001 has actually resulted in resolution of the approval for anybody. i see a lot of folks requesting an ombudsman to intervene but wasn't sure if anybody got a positive response back -- like the case is now resolved or something.

This guy doesn't have a clue. He is deviating so much from the core US policy, I don't know where it might end. I wonder whether we are better off with the last one????
Then why do you bother to desparately stay in US? Vote with your feet.

Am a new member here. Thought of posting the follow-up activities I have done till now and the results for the same.
Details:
PD: Oct 2005
Center: NSC
I485 RD: 07/26/2007
I485 ND: 08/24/2007
FP done only once in 2007 (forgot exact date).
Follow-up:
08/03/2010: Opened SR for primary (self)
08/05/2010: Sent email to NSCfollowup. Got reply that this account address is for following up on open SRs.
08/09/2010: Infopass appointment, did not get any useful info other than that case is being processed
08/09/2010: Opened SR for Secondary (spouse)
08/12/2010: Got response for 1st SR. Main gist of reply was that due to pending caseload in Nebraska, the processing time for my case has been extended :(. But the statement that got my attention was "Your application remains awaiting review by an Officer and you will be notified as soon as a decision is made. The Service is waiting for VISA availability." So called helpline again and was able to get to 2nd Level IO. She said that this statement is a mistake and that Visas are still available. Also confirmed that my case is with IO. However she said that I might be required to do FP again. The FP might be causing the delay.
08/13/2010: Contacted local congressman and asked help for following up.
08/13/2010: Send letter to Ombudsman
Latest status: Still waiting, not sure what other action I can take.

I am in for this.
If some one has entered US legally and filed for GC, it means (most of the cases) they will wish to naturalize at some point..Technically once GC is approved path to citizenship steps up.
I like this idea of pushing for citizenship..but I would like to remove the clauses of measuring length of stay from 140-approved or 485-applied etc.
Why shouldnt we say, anyone who worked in US for 5 years (which means paying taxes etc)
should be naturalized directly ...When they can make illegals legals why not us?
Do we have a group in Linkedin? If not, I can take up the responsibility of spreading through Linkeid groups for support (I dont like facebook so I am not on it and Linkedid is supposedly a professional network)

Punjabi77,
Here is a list of things you can do to protect and improve you cash cushion (and may be avoid foreclosure)
1. If you drive one of those luxury cars that cost upwards of 25K and have paid it off. Get rid of it now. These cars depreciate more in dollar terms compared to cheaper cars. Buy a less expensive, no frill used car for 9-10K, put the difference in bank. That might bring in 10K of much needed cash. Even if you have not paid it off look for deals to sell and reduce your monthly payments.
2. Open an account at quicken online (http://quicken.intuit.com/online-banking-finances.jsp) it is free. Connect your banks and monitor ALL your expenses carefully. Find out what portion of spending is discretionary and cut down on it.
3. Hunt coupons, shop at Costco/Walmart (even if you hate the shopping experience). Avoid brand names and stick to Kirkland/Great Value. This might save you in monthly expenses.
4. Also, you can add cash by working part-time. I am not talking about those hard to come software moonlighting jobs. Any job that pays 10-12 an hour will add 12 x 4hr x 5days x 4 Weeks = $960 per month.
5. If you live in a duplex with a bathroom/bedroom downstairs, you can rent it to someone from local college/university. Underbid by quoting super low rent on craigslist and you can get $400-500 per month.
6. Use online services like LegalZoom (or Prepaid legal from work) to prepare contracts for rentals etc.
7. Cut down on travel/eating out and anything that you can live without. A little cash could go a long way.
Also, when it is hard to stay put and make payments, always remember there is a silver lining in owning a house too. If there is a hyper inflation (which is very likely) rents will sky rocket and salary might go up to keep pace with it, but your home mortgage frozen in time for next 20-30 years will remain unchanged and you could potentially have lower monthly expenses compared to renters. That's a bright side of staying put.
Hope things workout for you. Good Luck.

Thanks for the FAQ.
Quick question:
I have a EB2 approved I-140 with PD 2006. Another EB2 I-140 from BEC with PD 2005 is still pending and might take another 6 months to get approval.
Will it be a better a strategy to file based on approved 140 (pd 2006) and later on capture pd 2005, once the BEC based 140 gets approved? Not sure whether interfiling applies for same category.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions

I recharged my account 10 days back at aitell 9.99 for 600 mins valid for 45 days. Today not allowing to make call due to insufficient balance. From the call history on their website, I only used 300+ minutes after recharge. I got doubt and looked all my recharges and usage from last 3 months. They are giving less minutes than advertisements on their website. I called to check with them today and customer service number is always busy. Any body using Airtel check your account history.
I had similar issue with them yesterday and also lost minutes, I tried to reach them for at least 90 minutes, finally I am able to get in touch with customer service rep and she confirmed me that they are running into some issues that they said that technical upgrade and confirmed me that after 2 hours I will get my minutes back (After that upgrade)...I have checked and it came back......
so speak with them, I am sure you will get yours back.....good luck

Travelling via London Gatwick and Dubai to India and back. No airport change required during transit. Using AP, visa expired. I have a valid Canada PR card.
According to UK embassy US GC and Canada PR card holders do not need transit for direct airside transit. Does anyone have any experience in this situation? Please post. Thanks

I do not want to spoil the fun and do truely appreciate the efforts by the IV team. But after sitting in the GC queue for 7 years, all my hopes nearly dead. Campaigns come and go but nothing ever happens.
I truly appreciate your frustration, but nothing will ever change if you do nothing.
Something might change if you do something
Go on, write a letter! It'll take 5 minutes. If you do, I'll write one as well. I'll even visit lawmakers on your behalf :D
IV is you and me, we are the team.

Viki,
Same here, i got a similar response too... If they are true to their words abt under review, we shud b fine...
But the problem is, they mite b stating this under review for all cases to avoid repeated requests and hence the issue..
Is ur case also at NSC?
How has ur luck been with the POJ method? Have u always recvd the same informn from all IOs?
I always get a different response wen i talk to an IO at NSC...
I got to know that my case is pre-adjudicated and with IO since Sept 20, 2009. But this information is not helpful at all as people have got GC's as early as Sept 01.
Now, whenever I call-I get same msg- that my case is with IO and nothing can be done be done to expedite it.
I have changed my employer only once since filing for 485 and been only with Fortune 500 companies as permanent employees,don't know what is holding up the case- all my coworkers got it by Sept 15th.

The requirement for a transit visa to enter the UK is not a new requirement. They were introduced because a significant number of passengers decided to remain in the UK rather than simply transit.
Before they were introduced, passengers had the ability to remain in the UK for up to 24 hours, enter the UK, change airports etc (this is called TWOV or Transit Without Visa and still remains for applicable nationals).
The intent of the Transit Visa is to ensure that the passenger will be accepted by the third country.
There are still issues with passengers who hold transit visas with a stated intention of transitting the UK. Either they are not accepted by the transitting airline and are returned to the point of origin, or they simply claim "political assylum" when they land in the UK and then they become the responsibility of the British Government.

From IV: IV commends the initiative taken by it's members nk2006, pd_recpaturing, ItsNotfunny and others. As these members have observed, we all know that any one who has filed for AOS/I-485 can potentially be hit with this issue, especially in the current job market situations. If you believe in the old adage prevention is better than cure, this is an action item you have to subscribe to. It will be only a matter of time the number of such denials is going to spike.
In recent weeks there has been a spate of I485 denials by USCIS in the AC21 cases. In most of these cases, the underlying I-140 has been revoked by previous employer. But AC21 regulations and related memo’s require that I485’s should not be denied based on that – provided I485 has been pending for more than 180 days and the applicant has changed to a new job that is same or similar. USCIS has been rejecting cases without even issuing a NOID – again required by AC21 regulations. So USCIS is not following AC21 regulations and related field memo’s for whatever the reasons.
Obviously this will have a very bad impact on us – in addition to tremendous amount of stress it can have very bad economic implications including loss of job. In the current economic conditions we cannot afford to lose the job change flexibility provided by AC21 regulations. IV has started a campaign to fight this.
After a brief campaign to write to Ombudsman, it has been decided to intensify this campaign and write to various officials in USCIS hierarchy. IV core members have been actively involved in coming up with a strategy and are actively supporting this effort. By sending large number of letters we can draw their attention to this issue and resolve as quickly as possible. There are other strategies that are being discussed and will be underway soon to tackle this issue. This is the first and the most important step up on which other steps depend.
I request all the members to start sending the following 4 letters. For your convenience the letters have been completely written including addresses to be sent – all you have to do is download following 4 google documents – add the date, your name and address – and send it to the address provided on each letter.
