I am not offended at all. I don't want to cause troubles to this forum. I want to keep this forum clean.

She has an approved I-140 (EB2-I) with a PD in Nov. 2007. Her 7th year H1 extension is coming up in September 2011. She is into IT consulting. Her current assignment is up for extension on July 15th. She thinks that she would get an extension but it might not be for more than 3 months (1-2 months is what she believes would happen).
I told her that based on what I have read on this forum, her PD might be current as early as next month. Her questions were:
1. What would happen if she is not on a project and her PD is current? Is a client letter/LCA/work order required while filing for I-485?
2. Even if she is able to file for I-485, she will not be getting an EAD before her H1 expires (September). Can she continue to work, based on the pending AOS application, without the EAD?
4. Given the kind of scrutiny that H1B applications are receiving these days, would it be a wise idea for her to apply for the extension based on her current work order or the one with an 2 month extension (09/15, the client refuses to give the client letter.) She has been working on the same project for more than 4 years.
I have little idea about IT consulting. I suggested that she look for a new project and file documents (H1 and I-485) based on the new assignment.
Thanks

I heard, taking a letter from client saying they cannot issue a letter itself is enough sometimes for h1 renewal
Thanks Bieber! Is Client Letter/LCA/Work order needed while I-485? Can someone who filed I-485 please chime in?Quote:

Thank you all for your predictions.
I wish you all get greened this year. Good luck!
Q, Vanni, Teddy and others
Thank you for this wonderful blog. This blog is hope for many people likes me, waiting to file I-485. I am silent member of this community from last 2 months and trying to understand how the USCIS system works.
This is my first post and here is the question for you guys, (please forgive me if this question doesn’t belong here) :
Do we have to update our address (AR-11) whenever we moved? I am using one of my friend’s permanent home address as my mailing address. I always get mails from USCIS on time from my friend. I moved to new apartment before 10 days(just 2 miles away from my friend's home). Should I have to report USCIS about my new address or not? I do not want to report my new address because I will leave this place next year. But if it is required by law then I don't have choice.
Please advise urgently because for me today is last day(10th day) to file AR-11.

It is definitely not a minor issue if they ever had find out through various documents that you submit them.

I was told it's more than a misdemeanor crime by my para legal when I was negligent couple of years ago. So, I started being careful. Although "10 days" is not as rigid. When you are signing on a line, always be sure that your providing the correct information to the best of your knowledge. Just read about Casey Anthony's acquitta on murderl and guilty charge on willful misrepresentation :)

Also if you file online you have the option of applying this to any pending petition. Online is definitely the best option as you get an instant acknowledgement which you can print for your records. Also remember to change the address on your driving license or any government id to be consistent. Additionally I read on another forum today about an individual who was unlucky to receive a speeding ticket, he was residing in that state for 5 months but had not transferred his license he got into more trouble on account of that.Quote:

Not a single approval has been reported on any of the sites today. I hope its not a bad omen.
You are correct there seem to be no approvals at all. I hope its the long weekend. On Trackitt there is only 1 EB2 approval which can be attributed to cross chargeability. There should be a huge string of approvals this week only then we can we expect movement in the August bulletin.Quote:

Approvals normally happen randomly within the range that is current. The volume of approvals with a very small number of unlucky members is a good trend.Quote:

Que:
1) Should I have to file AR-11 for dependents?
2) I didn't use my previous apartment address as my previous address. Does it matter?
Thank you, Q, Teddy, leo07 and all members who answered my questions.

I don't quite understand how a flurry of actual approvals would cause date movement. If this has been discussed before, please pardon me. Appreciate if anyone can point me to the relevant discussion. Thanks!
Since the cases this time are pre-adjudicated they should approve them if they have visas. Not approving pre-adjudicated cases implies lack of visa availibility which in turn would imply no movement as the visas have been exhausted.Quote:

Generally this is true except during Q4 when SPILLOVER season starts!

I am a n00b here and will therefore defer to the experts here and their analysis. Can someone volunteer to reply to Ron G's post here with some analysis so that there is some sharing of information. This will really help everyone to get insight on expected cut off dates for upcoming visa bulletins.

Do you know if Ron ever answered the latest PD in 2008 of the NVC notice that they received?Quote:

Besides we pretty much do a lot better discussions here itself. So unless there is something new that other sources point to.... not sure what you are requesting of us.

Besides, a couple of people have raised legitimate questions in that thread which Ron can either not understand or wishes to ignore, since he didn't answer either satisfactorily (at all actually).
His previous attempts (when talking about EB2-I and EB3-I) have not only been hopeless, but factually incorrect.
I am sure we will discuss his findings, once they are published.
Can one of us point him to this wonderful discussion forum??
Ron somehow always abstained from any calculations or predictions pending any credible information about the numbers at the district offices. Ron indulging in some data analysis is surprising.
I completely agree. There is a big banner on his website, asking if you want to upgrade. Even of late, murthy bulletins are always talking about how they can help in upgrade. So basically, all these lawyers are just looking at this new opportunity as their new cash cows.Quote:

My current impressions about RonG is that he just gives information from the top of the stack. Nothing really serious there, beyond a show to attract clients. He does provide quick legal answers that would cost money in some other places. I will give him that much credit. But, please don't count on him for serious answers in the public forum. He picked up the numbers game, just because it's the talk-of-the-town this time of the year.

I do not see any EB2India approvals in July 2011 so far in trackit. Last approval was on 06/27.
Any one has any update?
