Since you asked what I am exactly doing here:
I am not here to discuss illegal immigration. I am here to discuss how we can put acceptable proposals out there so we can all get out of this mess, or at least get out of here a little faster !
Folks, allow me to tell you that we cannot succeed in this fight if our strategy remains wrong. By no means we shall find ourselves supporting what is against public opinion in our host country, which is now America. You guys from time to time, now what is called senior members from IV, pst phrases which may be PERCEIVED as an attempt to disguise the status of illegal aliens movement. Undocumented immigration simply doesn't exist. There are numerous ways one can find oneself without documents. I outlined an example before. "Immigrant" is not the correct designation if you never immigrated here. Start by showing our alignment with this country by using the correct term. We may be better accepted that way. By the way, wake up, is in major part thanks to the illegal aliens that many of us are stuck.
Tomorrow you can go to India as an immigrant. The day that you find yourself pushing for more immigration than Indians want, it is the day you will not be welcome in that lovely country anymore. Italy is a sweet country, but people are fed up with immigration there. How about France ? America is next. The lack of sympathy for immigration is in the air. Which are our chances to fight against it just because we conceal our proposals ? Minimal.
Sure. Do you want another one ?

apahilaj,
Is yours a paper file or Efile?
Did you send your's & your wife application together (one packet) or separately?
Just a quick update
Today my checks got cashed and from the back of the checks I got the receipt numbers. I was able to track these numbers on USCIS site and the EAD application for myself and my wife is now pending at TSC.
So the mailing address to Mesquite, TX turned out to be the correct location for me to file...

Do you realize that this thread is from 2006.
Hey folks,
The proposed bill to give green card to PhDS does not include all the PhDs. PhDs listed as STEM(Science engineering technology majors) are only eligible through this bill in current form. Graduates from pharmacy, medicine, veterinary medicine, animal science are not listed as STEM. I am sure there are many more majors not listed as STEM. I think we should write a letter to congressmen about this anomaly. And I encourage non STEM PhDs to represent their concern so that we can unite and represent our concerns to the congress men. immigrtion service department has listed the subject codes fall under STEM.
You have to browse through the following link to see code for your major. http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2002/cip2000/ciplist.asp.
once you know the code for your major you can go to http://www.ice.gov/sevis/stemlist.htm to check weather your program is listed there as STEM.
good luck

You said you live in NJ, you supposed to have sent you EAD renewal documents to Vermont Service Center as per the USCIS link provided below:

Guys,
I live in NJ and I had sent my EAD renewal package to the following address via USPS certified mail:
USCIS
Texas Service Center
P.O. Box 851041
Mesquite, TX 75185-1041
When I tracked my receipt today (for both mine and my wife's package), I got the following status:
Status: Notice Left
We attempted to deliver your item at 1:47 PM on May 9, 2008 in MESQUITE, TX 75185 and a notice was left. It can be redelivered or picked up at the Post Office. If the item is unclaimed, it will be returned to the sender. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.
Can any one tell me if I have used incorrect mailing address or is this status normal? Do I need to do anything about it?
Thanks a bunch. Your replies will be appreciated.

EB2 is for advanced degree with exceptional ability.
3 year degree is not a advanced degree. (Here will consider as 3 year college studies- may be comparable to an associate degree or greater)
Diploma is not considered for GC. It is useful for H1B.
Try in EB3. Still not give 100% guarentee.
They need 4 year single source education/degree, for US equivalent.
My friend with 3 year degree + 1 year B.ED degree + 2 year MSc denied for EB2 for education. Evaluation done with most advanced evaluator. Still denied, now on appeal with AAO. Even with 6 year total university studies not accepted. How they accept your 3 year degree.
USCIS refers to EDGE database. It is not equate 3 year with US bachelor degree.
It equate 3+2 Indian degree (not diploma) to US 4 year degree.
Agree with what you pointed out but shouldn't the attorney know this?? If this cannot be apealed this individual has lost valuable time and money (attorney looses nothing). I am curious to know what the attorney says about this:mad:

Thank you for your response raysaikat! I really appreciate your time and patience. One more question. Will it be "ok" in the eyes of USCIS if I don't go back home after my education process is over but apply for H1B visa instead?
This scenario is pretty common and does not pose any problem.

Thanks for advice. Yes my last M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the USA.
Could you please clarify what "find out NIW holders in your / related engg field"? How can I find out?
Do you believe EB2-NIW is easier than EB1-OR?
Thank you,
John
You cannot apply for EB1-OR on your own. Only EB2-NIW and EB1-EA can be self-sponsored. If your employer applies for EB1-OR then it might be easier than EB2-NIW since you don' have any citations. To find out "NIW in your own field", talk to your adviser ... he might know other students who applied. You lawyer might have handled cases in your field. No citation is not good but hard to quantify what is a respectable number of citations. A few hundred might be okay in one field but maybe a thousand in another field of research/work.

Please donate that extra money meant for leisure to IV instead going to Bahama this year. You may help yourself doing this and that humble act may get your GC quick and thus enable you to enjoy cruises to Bahama every year without worrying about Visa validity and time lines.

You have not mentioned whether your I-140 is still pending.
If your I-140 was approved already, then you can use AC21 portability.
If both your I-140 & I-485 are pending and if you plan to use AC21, USCIS will process your GC as per the following guidelines contained in yates memo.
http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/AC21Intrm122705.pdf
The above memo is relevant to I-140 pending situation.
My I-140 is approved.

Owing taxes is not illlegal. Basically tax payer will be paying penalty for it.

Is there a relation between immigration process (485) and IRS?
If a person owe money to IRS , does he/she have a problem with his/her immigration process? I'm not talking fraud ....! I'm talking owing taxes to IRS
The reason i'm asking is because some lawyer do ask for W2 forms, some do not. That means there is a relationship between immigration and IRS.I just have no idea how it works.
Thanks

as per http://www.indianembassy.org/newsite/NEW%20PASSPORT.asp#1
The following documents and fee are required to be submitted with the application:
� After having filled the application online, print a copy.
� Affix photograph as per specification in the box (do not staple photograph)
� Old Passport (in original)
� Additional booklet, if any, (in original)
� Three recent passport size photographs (3.5 cm x 3.5 cm -front facial pose). Photograph should have only a white background. (Photograph with coloured or dark glasses or in uniform or in Polaroid prints or Computer prints will not be accepted). One photograph to be pasted on the space provided on the first page of the application form
� Two proofs of residential address of the applicant, which may include current Driving License, Utility Bill, rent lease agreement showing the residential address.
Photocopy of the first five and last two pages of the original / old passport;
� Pages of passport showing US visa or Green Card (in original) Employment Authorization Card (in original) or other visa documents must be shown at the counter. A photocopy of the entire document / Card should be appended with the application (in case the application is sent by mail, a notarized copy of these documents should be sent);
� In case application for Green Card or EAC or visa is pending/being processed, a copy of documents in support of this fact must be submitted;
� In case the current passport does not contain the name of the spouse and the applicant wishes to have it entered in the new passport, copy of notarized marriage certificate must be submitted along with the application.
I am confused with few things in the above list of reqd documents:
1.It says white background , But I am only able get Cream colored background photos in CVS or Walgreen's
2.When I went notary in Bank Of America , the lady at bank says that she can't do notary for any copy of the document , she says she can do notary for a Application form that is signed in front of her.Same with marriage certificate.
I am confused and I need to travel by the end of this month.I need to drive 10 hrs 1-way to go to the consulate personally.
You don't have to go. Use Fedex or UPS overnite, both ways. Pay the extra $100.0 for the "Tatkal" Service"
Make copies of the documents that you need to get notarized, On each copy, write the following:
"I (your name), do here by solemnly declare and affirm that this document is a true copy of the original doument"
Signed
(Your Name)
Date
Now, be careful. The notaries in some states need a specific language, like the one given below:

In witness hereof, I hereunto set my hand and official seal.
___________________________ Notary Public
In that case, get this language from the notary and do some copy/paste stuff using a printer, scanner or copier and add this statement to the bottom of your document, BELOW your signature.
