Is letter from employee needed for filing I-485 for my spouse. I filed I-485 under EB3 last August and it's still pending. She takes my PD and my PD will be current in May. I have an old letter from my employer when filing my I-485 last August but was wondering if a new letter from employer is needed or the old one would do.
Thanks in advance.
does not hurt to get a new one.

Hi Attorney,
Can someone please guide me in what direction or steps do I need to take in my situation.
My Situation:
Dentist working in a Non-Profit organization for 4yrs.
EB3
PD: Aug 2006
LC - Approved
140 - Approved
485 - Filed Aug 2007
485 RFE for EVL - Submitted.
EAD (2yr) and AP - Approved
After submission of RFE, I got accepted into a 2yr speciality program that is one of a kind and I have been waiting to get into this for a long time, and it is like a dream getting accepted.
I am presently in the program and I received the following update.
Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred.
The I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was transferred and is now pending standard processing at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done, counting from when USCIS received it. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. To receive e-mail updates, follow the link below to register.
I will be starting to work with the sponsoring employer from July 2009 on a part-time basis. My relation and communication with the sponsoring employer is very good.
I am planning to join the sponsoring employer after my 2yr program and my employer is willing to accept me, but they cannot provide a future job offer as they cannot say if there will be a job opening.
I am sure I will be called in for an interview. I have exhausted my 6yrs of H1B and presently working on EAD.
I am little concerned for the interview, as I do not work full time and do not have a future job offer. But, since I am working part-time with the sponsoring employer, will that help to prove that 485 was a legitamate.
I would greatly appreciate if someone could please throw some info.
Thanks for your time.

Sorry for this long post. I just have to let it out...
I had my H1B visa approved and I talked to my employer on the phone this afternoon. I admit I did not do well in the interview I had with him last April 18, my visa was filed on March 31..... meaning he hired me first and interviewed me when my visa was already filed. I also have to fly from NJ to LA to meet him at my expense. It was then that I learned that the company doesn't have any permanent employee and no official office. There are only 2people who are doing everthing, he as the president and his partner. All those working for them are all subcontractors. The last time we had our conversation after that interview, he said that he was willing to offer me another position but with a lower salary which he repeated in his email yesterday when I told him about the news that my visa was approved. He suggested we talk on the phone to discuss.
So when I called him today, he said that I was not able to clearly understand what he said in the email that I am not capable of handling the job and that he has no job to offer me because he knows that I will not succeed. He even asked me if I am willing to work and be fired after.
We had an argument over the phone and I asked him what I will do with my visa. I admitted to him that the job that he is offering me is not really my forte and if only I was provided with my job description before I signed the attorney's retainer's contract, I have turned off the job offer since there is still another company who is willing to sponsor me. He have not given me any clear description of what the job will be. He also told me that I misrepresented myself.. That I included in my resume things that I didn't really do that I did not even do any programming at all --- something that really hurts me --- being an analyst/programmer back in my country since I graduated college. Then he keep on telling me that I have wasted my time already and if he would hire me, I will surely lost more because I would eventually get fired.
I said to him, how did he know that I will not be successful if he would not give me a chance. He said he just know. (what is he GOD?). I said to him its unfair.
The job position is Electronic Security Engineer. I am in Systems analysis and Application development.
I shouldered all my expenses in my Visa processing -- which is more or less $4,000 including my air ticket back and forth at the same day from NJ to LA which is approximately 10 hours flight (5 hours each way).
Can you give me an advice. I just couldn't let it just pass away. I felt I was humiliated and was treated unfairly.
Thanks for your advice.

Hi all!
Wat would be the status of F1 student (OPT) mother of a US born baby after her visa expires, who is a single parent???
Mother will obviously be illegal. You should have no doubts about that!

If yes then you should be fine but with or without original 797 and no stamping in passport it will be difficult to get into USA. Unless you have AP to get back into USA. Hope this help. Good luck for your travel tomorrow.
Hi,
I just checked all immigration documents and found that original I797 (H1b approval) is missing. I have a copy but not original. We are travelling to India tomorrow. Is it must that we need to have original I797 at POE or is a copy ok. Appreciate if you could please let us know about this as soon as possible.
Thank you so much.

PD is Nov 2004 (transferred from a previous EB2 filing).
RD is July 29, 2007
May be they want to approve your both I-140 and I-485, but I-485 may be missing something, so they issue an RFE. It may be the case that your I-140 can be approved. If it is as simple as Birth Certificate, then they may approve both your I-140 and I-1485 after you reply RFE.

The backlog is so huge that there is no "light" at the end of the tunnel
FB immigration is capped at 480K and EB immigration at 140K. Both are backlogged.. the ratio of cases is also perhaps 3:1 or 4:1, so the bulk of those pendng 485s are likely to be family based. the EB I-485 cases are probably somewhere around 250k of that 750k...
Also, what is a backlogged case? USCIS has been changing the definition as they see fit. At one point cases that were pending FBI namecheck were not counted in backlogs!

Even if your status changed to H1 in October 2004 and you started working in November 2004 for a second employer following approval for that employer, I would say it is just 30days and would not be an issue in future GC application. Don't worry about it.
What do you mean by that. Is she going to file green card in future?She did not say that. May be she wants to go back to her native country once H1 expires.Am I right? H1 visa are given to stay here temporarily for 6 years not to get green cards.First husbands get green cardsm then spouses get green cards, then their parents and in-laws get green cards. This is why lot of primary H1 people are stuck in the line for past 8-9 years without promotions,salary hikes,buying homes. When there are no job for primary H1s, don't understand why spouses want to work.That's why lot of folks are going back to their native places.Competition wihtin out guys.Its like siblings fighting for same job in a single family.

Most of us know its surely a tiring and long process to get visa dates in Hindi for Delhi embassy. I tried for about a month before I got it. Here is what I observed and find very important for anyone taking Hindi visa dates in Delhi:
(a) Delhi embassy mostly adds new Hindi dates every two weeks. Specially when the english dates are about to expire, because Hindi dates are expired/not available most of the time :)
(b) These dates are added on either Thursday or Friday.
(c) Most chances are on Thursday/Friday morning or noon. That is from 10am IST to around 2-3pm IST.
(d) During this time, keep checking every 5 minutes. This is because once they release dates, I do not know, but the dates are gone in 10 minutes flat !!!
(e) Keep your information already filled and saved in vfs database, otherwise no chance that one can complete all DS 156/157 forms in those crucial 10/15 minutes.
(f) Good luck!

Hi,
Here is the my status:
- 140 approved(EB3 category)
- I am in 7th year of my H1
- 3year H1 extension is in-process
All of the above with Company-A.
If the 3year H1 is approved, will I be eligible to change job to Company-B and transfer my H1 to Company-B?
Can I take my priority date from my application from Company-A to B?
In what way Company-A can affect my status once I switch to Company-B?
Thanks for your input.

I dont think it is allowed. One would think that working outside the US while you are waiting for "Adjustment of Status" would be considered abandonment of your I 485
Still its good to check with your attorney first...
