Just want to double confirm, are you sure that if G-28 is filed along with I-485, ONLY lawer receives RFE letter. Can you please point to any official link?
I left my old job where I filed G-28 with I-485. At my new job, HR in immigration department are telling me that there is no need to file G-28 since RFE is received by the applicant. Nor they recommend filing AC21. So no G-28 no AC21
Please guide.
I changed my company and filed G-28. My RFE went to new lawyers only. I didn't get any personal letter. My new company was adamant to file AC21 and G-28. Real glad that I did that!

I had written 2 long posts in the past detailing my own views on how to hire an attorney and how to deal with them when you hire them. You may want to go through them in the threads. If someone can dig them we can try to create a thread dedicated on 'advice when you hire an attorney'. I have myself seen enough bad attorneys (both big and small firrms) and the posts were written based on my experiences and experiences of my friends.

I think it can actually create huge heartburn. This is not intended to allow filing I-485 before PD is available. Rather it is to introduce one more hoop to jump over. Now I-485 will be "By invitation" after you successfully complete pre-screen.
Picture this. your I-140 is approved. YOu fill the pre-screen registration. They are supposed to do backgrond, EVL, name check etc etc... During all of this, you did not actually file I-485. Suddenly your PD becomes current becuase DOS has moved dates forward so as not to waste Visas. Still you cannot file I-485 because your pre-screen is not complete.
Basically their processing bottleneck will be shifted to pre-screen and potentially take away the interim benefits of EAD and AP even if they would be otherwise qualified to file for 485.

Probably he is talking about the conditional green card one gets after marrying a US citizen
If I understand right, you only jeopardize your chances if you divorce within 2 years. Another option is separation. And of course there is the third option, and that is to try and work it out with her husband.

I don't think it is not a issue as my friend's father also a retired Navy personel with the INdian Navy had no issues. All he had to so is show that he is a retired personnel and may have to show proof that he is just coming to visit and not to stay back.

Your lawyer is correct. Since you are from India, you cannot apply for 485 at this time and hence you cannot get an EAD.
You can apply for your 140-NIW and wait for your EB2 PD to become current - whenever that happens.
Alternatively, you can check with your lawyer if you qualify for EB1 - extraordinary ability. In that case, the PD for India is current and you will be eligible for 485 immediately.
though note that for EB1-EA just a PhD alone is not enough. you really need to have shown extraordinary ability in your field (tons of papers published, recognition from intl organizations etc).
Otherwise you need to wait for EB2 to be current, which, if your PD is 2008, could be many years away (latest visa bulletin is at April 2004).

I wrote to Congrass saying that Exceed Corporation must be made accountable to process backlogged applications within agreed time frame and cost and requested an oversight hearing on processing of backlogged labor certifications. I also gave my forecast that they are going to miss the congress mandate of two years.
Please flood Congress with your concerns and expose Exceed Corporation.

Thanks so much RAM C.
I have one more question.. if possible could you please clarify this also for me..?
I don't know the procedure for obtaining SSN, but i gathered that I have to show my I-94 at the SSA office, along with passport and other ID's.
My I-94(at POE) and Visa stamping expired in 2006.
Got extension till 2007, and then got H1B, followed by EAD.
I haven't been outside the country, so my current valid I-94 is part of my H1 appoval notice...so do I have to show my H1 also?
Sorry.. for all the questions.. I tried to call the local office but couldn't get through...
THANK YOU
I REALLY appreciate your answers..
Yes that is true, you have to show your passport and I-94 and EAD
you should be fine if they ask about expired I-94 (with stamp) as you have an extension till 2007.
so to answer your question show H1 extension if they ask.
hope this helps.
Good Luck :)

my honest opinion on transit visa issues- the best way is to do a quick check on Netherlands website.......rather than only rely on answers on a public forum
http://www.netherlands-embassy.org/visainquiry.asp
Visa Inquiry Result
March 11, 2003
Inquiry date: December 18, 2008
Citizen of: India
Status in US: unlisted status
Resident of: Texas
Travel document: US Re-entry Permit
Duration of stay: less than 12 hours
Purpose of stay: airport transit
First country: Netherlands
Second country: Other
Main destination: other
Based on the above mentioned information the following has been concluded:
an airport transit visa is not required.
Please note that each traveller needs to hold a valid passport with a validity thats exeeds the intended stay by at least 3 months and a return/onward airline ticket. In addition to that, visitors to the Netherlands need to present proof of sufficient funds and medical insurance upon arrival. Travellers should not present a danger to public order or national security.

Hello,
One of the clients is not considering EAD as a valid document to enter their facilities. Funny thing is their security team are ok if you have valid visa and I94 but not EAD.
I think this is more of ignorance about EAD.
Can some provide doucumentation which says discrimination of EAD is violation of Law? or some thing that says EAD is a valid document to work adn stay in the country.
You can show them I-9 form where it list EAD as acceptable document for proof of employment eligibility.
