Hello,
Can someone tell me about the final interview for the EB based GC process.
1) Does everyone get called for an interview or is it done on selected cases based on individual factors?
2) When is it generally done? Prior to approval of your 485 or prior to the issue of your visa(GC).
3) Why is it done and what kind of questions can one expect during the interview?
Thanks
Lasantha
A couple acquaintances have gone through the process. Some Australians were given a lot of grief when the person accused them of coming from Antigua or some little Island. It was obviously a typo on their part--they have obvious Aussie accents. He accused them and accused them. They didn't give and the officer gave up. Officer 0, immigrants 1.
Another woman was asked if she's planning on staging a terrorist attack. (She's French.) She said something like "If I was, would I tell you?" and then had to wait an extra year as the officer said they were done. Officer 1, immigrants 0
Remember spouses birth dates, etc.
So even if they ask idiot questions, and they probably will, don't make any jokes or anything. Be firm, formal, and polite. Behave as you wish they would.

If you ask them to expedite then you are talking to a wall..which means that is next to impossible. I requested them to expedite my EAD renewal twice and they refused to do so (email reply). My case is 78 days old now and the current EAD is expiring in a month from now.

eb2waiter,
senthil1 has a very good answer, now if you are asking for the specific date, no one can answer your question...
better pray for the CIR to be passed first.
then get a comfortable chair and wait for the 20+ millions illegals to get ahead of you in the queue

I recently started work with a new employer using my EAD. I have a pending RFE on my 485 which I have to respond to in a couple of weeks. However, today I noticed that my 485 got a soft LUD of the day following the day I started with my new employer. My new employer uses eVerify but I didnt expect that it could be linked with a pending 485. Maybe I am wrong but I see no reason for the USCIS to touch my 485 until I have responded to the RFE.
Has anyone else noticed something similar when you started with a new employer using eVerify?
E Verify is a system operated by the social security administration, not the Department of Homeland Security. Cannot imagine your LUD and E verify can be remotely related. Just a coincidence. Relax enjoy your new job and let the I 485 process roll along as it will.

I am curious of the average networth of H1Bs excluding their parent's money. The money they just made so far. Not sure how to start a new thread. I read somewhere online there are lot of H1Bs who are working for 10 years are almost millionaires. Can they use their accumulated wealth to do an investment based green card.
An individuals income and their net worth is their personal information. I don't think you will get more info on this (that too in a public forum).

Considering the state of the economy and considering that the most important poisiton to save is that of the primary applicant, I suggest that USCIS process cases of primary applicants asap.
Family members can contnue on EAD for long time; however if the principal applicant loses job and can not find another one, the entire family is done - pack bags and leave.
What do you think?
ssh --> I see from your profile your PD as 2001 and understand your frustration, waiting long. I like the idea what you has told... but not sure if it is practical.
Even I think, we need to ensure, the criteria for apply for EB immigration must be met @ the time the application is accepted. But after that, if the applicant status change in the interim, that should not jeopardize the entire applicaiton it self. With EB, they want to ensure, the status is met @ the time of approval, but given the present economic condition, any thing can happen, and hope USCIS, does not utilize this to penalize the law abiding legal immigrant folks for the delay by USCIS in processing application.
I'm not sure, The application eligibility should be verified/met at the time an application is accepted for processing and not @ approval is my view. But might not be acceptable to vast majority. Return the application immediately if criteria is not met, but not after many many years.

Sorry folks, the question may have been asked before.
Does I-140 have to be approved before using AC21? In my case, I140 has been pending for 1 year now, but got EAD recently.
If I use AC21 to move to a new job in 6 months, can employer pull out the I-140 ?
Any workarounds?
Please refer to answer provided by logiclife on this thread. Thanks Logiclife

hi all,
I wrote a thread earlier saying I want to withdraw application for my H-1B stamping since it is stuck in admin processing and I will now travel using my AP. I called up the embassy asking them about the procedure and they told me to email at nivnd@state.gov and requesting withdrawing the case. Do I need to explain to them that I want to travel back and I will do it on AP . Also do I need to tell things like I am needed urgently back to join my work.
Please let me know,
Thanks,
Ravi

Hello
My Labor approved in May 2007, Still i didn't received my Labor Hard Copy.
Anyone in same boat??:eek:
You will not get a hard copy. The approval goes electronically to your company attorney. Then your company will send you some papers to be signed by you and then they will file the I-140.

Friends,
A unique situation -
I am getting ready to apply for my wife's AOS (ROW). She has never used a last name on any legal documents, example birth certificate, passport.
Her H4 visa was processed with "FNU" - family name unknown .. Do I need a last name for filing her I-485? Can she get a GC with only her first name on it?
Or will they process it with FNU as last name...
Should i go to her embassy (Indonesia) and get her passport changed to my last name before applying for her 485? In that event, her H4 visa,passport and birth certificate will not match her passport..
Any thoughts on my situation?
I guess, nobody really knows the answer. If she does not have a last name and all she uses is her first name, it should be alright. Since all her legal documents- Birth certificate, Passport, DL, Bank Statements have this legal first name only. If she now wants to use your family, last name after getting married, that could also be done. You should really consult your lawyer on this one. Please do not use any advice from this forum as legal or valid.

Please consult a good lawyer
like

Carl Shusterman,
Shela murthy
Rajiv Kanna
Please refer
http://www.murthy.com/485faq.html
I have the extract from the website
Question 4. What is a travel document and do I need it?
......
......
Please note that one who is out of status is generally advised not to travel abroad until the Adjustment is approved. A person who has accrued 180 days of unlawful presence and then travels abroad would not be readmitted to the U.S. for 3 years. For a one-year accrual or more of unlawful presence, there is a 10-year bar on reentry. The advance parole document would not protect one in this situation. Since 2000, the AP contains a specific warning about the 3-year and 10-year bars. Individuals should seek attorney advice before travel if there is a possibility that they have accrued unlawful presence at any time.
*****************
I would recomend you talk with Shela Murthy or Carl Shusterman, talk to the main lawyer directly, do not talk with the junior lawyer in the firm. Ask for urgent appointment, it would cost a bit more but it is worth it. I am sure Shela Murthy will find some way for you.
Good luck
