Q,
When will you be posting 'BREAKING NEWS' ?
(Biting nails) Have you heard from your source yet ?
ground breaking one's or heart breaking one's? lol... i guess he will post it as soon as he has the info... give the guy a break friends... on the other hand, i am also anxious but cant do mich than wait it out...
Sorry folks, if i am digressing from the discussion about the August Visa bulletin. I am posting this question on my friend's behalf..
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?
Champ
I doubt it is needed. From the list of documents requested by my attorney, client letter is not listed.
485 Approved - TSC Sep 2006 PD.
Card sent to old address (even after filing AR 11).
Need to follow up but that's for another forum.
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.
Best wishes and thanks for letting us know. We share your joy!
H1G, welcome. I have moved 4-5 times in last 6-7 years and have always kept USCIS informed. Although its a minor thing ... why take a wrong step howsoever minor. p.s. - You can do it online in case you didn't know.

AR-11 is important
Please don't neglect this. It takes < 5 min to update. Don't wait to hear horror stories
It is definitely not a minor issue if they ever had find out through various documents that you submit them.
dont want to scare you, but it is a misdemeanor crime if the address change is not reported with in 10days. Better update your latest move by filing the AR-11 form online.
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
As others have suggested I would say that it is very important to file for AR-11. I did it myself early this year. 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.
My friend, apart from doing AR-11 online, also called the USCIS customer service, and updated his address on his I-485 filed with them. He told me that they still had old address in their system, inspite of the online AR-11 filed few days back. Good he called. He got his green card on the correct new updated address a month later.
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.
Considering the long weekend .... thats not surprising. We will see much more approvals flooding in this week and next.

Someone with a PD of Mar 07 getting his green card this week or next , indicate the visa availability?
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.
Thank you friends for very quick response,
I just filed AR-11(address change). I didn't file AR-11 last time when I moved in 2007, so USCIS does not have my last apt address. I entered my friend's home address as my previous address to match USCIS record.
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 was under the impression that if the remaining number of visas to be allocated is high and if the number of actual approvals coming through are less, this would cause significant date movement to prevent wastage.
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.
I think your understanding is correct for same year filings but in EB2I-C the cases are pre-adjudicated.

Generally this is true except during Q4 when SPILLOVER season starts!
When I do it I do it separately for my wife and myself. Since Kids were born here they are not an issue. But I think YES you must do it for all people and all live cases with USCIS 485 or 140 or EAD or whatever.
