My company covered both mine and spouse's cost/fees etc...but again it will vary company to company depending on their internal policy.
Thank Leo, so seems like USCIS does not have access to the Original labor inorder to approve amended 140 under the same category say Eb2. They told me that if you file PP then application may be rejected but i guess what you said makes sense because Labor is with USCIS and if they do not have access to it they shall continue processing the application. Thanks for your time
I have some time this afternoon, so I'm going into cleanup overdrive. I'm going to start on page 70 and see how many posts I can move. Your post is 2527 as I start. Lets see how low I can get that number.
This post will self destruct in ....
EDIT: Moved over 250 posts. Started on pg 70 and moved through to post VB release congratulatory messages. I created new threads where I moved the VB anticipatory messages, the 'congratulations' messages and all process and documentation related questions that didn't have any predictions or calculations relevance, from between pgs 70 through 79 (which initially constituted over 20 pages). I request the other Mods to do the same from the bottom of page 79 on.

same here. they reimburse for all expenses related to GC (AOS) as well as consulate fees for visa stamping.
No worries. But it's worth trying PP though, I have heard CIS processes some times. You have nothing to lose trying, you'll get your check back if they tend to process in regular.( minus any attorney fees of course)
Lucky few
yeah, CO threw all the calculations out of the window for the last few bulletins.( in a good way
It was in the document sent by my lawyers for AOS for myself.
Hi Gurus, could you please answer the couple of below questions.
My company is being acquired by another company and they recently applied for I-140 amendment. if my PD (jun 13,08)becomes current in next couple of bulletins, Can i still apply for 485 with pending amendment process ? My attorney mentioned that we can apply using amended 140 receipt but old PD is not listed on that receipt, once they review the case they might assign the correct PD but is it possible to apply 485 with old company's 140 approval copy which has the correct PD ?
And also my wife birth certificate has place of birth name spelled differently in birth certificate and passport, can you suggest what action i can take here.
I will delete this message as soon as i get the answer. Thanks
There is an extensive birth cert thread that may have your answer. Also, I pushed some recent messages on employers being acquired to its own thread (Both are within the I485 universe).

EB2Jun08,
Yes, include copy of i140 approval(old) along with receipt for i140 amendment (pending).
Spouse's Birth Certificate: It is advisable to get place of birth corrected in the passport.
Not a Legal advice/opinion, please check with good immigration attorney.
In my wife's passport, the place of birth is completely different from the birth certificate which are two adjacent cities. I think it is not that simple to get the place of birth corrected in the passport as it requires getting a court order from first class magistrate. I am wondering whether any one has done that successfully ?
In that event, just get the affidavits done.

I am in same situation in regard to the birth certificate...my birthplace is different in passport and birth certificate. in my passport they have my district name as birth place and in my birth certificate it is as my town. It is really tough to get passport corrected, the indian embassy mentioned they need court order from india and some more documents which are tough to get.
but i found another work around , but i dont know if this would be accepted, indian embassy in USA gives you birth certificate as per the passports.
but my question is will the birth certificate issued by indian embassy in USA can be used as birth certificate proof?
for supporting that i can get affidavits from parents, but i just wanted to know if i can use that birth certificate.
I got Birth Certificate from Indian Consulate. It is just a piece paper, not on Indian Consulate letter head. They copy all details from passport and will state that all information declared is as per what has been present in the passport. So, this is useless and I also heard that some one got an RFE for that.
I got 2 affidavits from my parents and as per my Attorney, that is enough.

How they process 485. Old doc but very interesting to read.
Page 161 onwards is adjudication section, Very interesting
Also page 237 about I134, page 243 about IT returns
Also see about public charge (why W2 maybe) - page 171, and birth certificates page 172

I am not a lawyer, and it's always best to consult an immigration attorney.
Guys, please make sure you are using the current form versions available on USCIS websites. I went for my medical check up yesterday and they were still using the old version, thankfully I caught it.
I think it is acceptable to use either version between Nov 1 to Dec31. New version must be used starting Jan 1st. Correct me if i am wrong.
rdsingh you are correct.
BUT we cannot argue with the adjudicators if they raise an RFE , as we dont have any direct conversation with them to explain the medicals or other forms were filled in between nov to dec, the said admissible period . Why unnecessary headache ?
Any idea when Nov 2008 EB2I will be able to file 485? Thanks
Nishant, this was helpful to get insight into how adjudication works. Thanks for sharing
My company covers all fees of mine, I have to pay for my wife's USCIS fees only.
I want to add one point. Before year 2005, it was very difficult for a Chinese student to get a visa to US. Although many of them had full scholarship, the visa approval rate was lower than 30%. It was almost impossible to get a visa without a research/teaching assistantship or fellowship. Something dramatically changed in 2005 and the student visa approval rate went to 90% or even higher after 2005. I think DOS changed their policy to make money from education.
Before 2005 most of the Chinese students in US had teaching/research assistantship and they were a group of hard working students. After 2005 a large percentage of the Chinese students in US are using their own money to study. They are from rich families. Although the total number of the Chinese students went up after 2005, the quality went down significantly. Most of them only know how to spend their parents' money and they are not competitive in job market at all. That's why the Chinese PERM number went down after 2007. Most of these students only play computer games, chase ladies, spend money and sleep in class, etc. Many of them return home to enjoy the wealth from their parents.
