I am also in a similar situation. My dad's brother filed for my dad in 1983. However my dad did not go for his visa interview as he was no longer interested in moving to US and due to him I am stuck reading immigrationvoice.org forums everyday.
Since your application is filed before 1998 you are eligible for 245(i) as a grandfathered alien . Suppose you fall out of status for any amount of time during your h1 period you can use 245(i) , pay 1000$ and still file for i-485 .
245(k) which is available for everybody and protects an out of status person for 180 days while 245(i) is available for persons only who were a beneficiary or a derivative beneficiary of a i-130 application or i-140 application before 1998.
I did extensive research on porting of priority dates. Priority dates can be ported in the following situations
a) Family petition when a son/daughter turns 21.
b) Employment based petition when an i-140 is approved and will not be revoked by the previous employer before this i-140 priority date is transferred to another i-140 petition.
c) Employment based petition when 180 days have passed since i-485 is filed and i-140 is approvable due to AC 21 regulations (note the word approvable)
d) Priority dates before 1977.
However I do know of any recapture mechanism for priority dates from family based petitions to employment based petitions. However if you do find any interesting information about porting dates from family based application to employment based information pls do post it.

My cousin has I-20's from Universities A and B.he got F1 Visa with University A's I-20.
He is in India and he wants to go to University B.
Could anybody tell if he can directly go to University B and complete the transfer process from there? or does he need to go to University A, complete the transfer process and then go to University B?
does it create any problems at Port of Entry ?
PS: I have not started GC process yet. So, I didn't update my profile.

My friend, do not call Sir to any one here. We all are on the same boat and trying to share our experiences and learn from each other.
Were you given a 221g? possibly green or some other color?
It appears from your email that you have submitted the requested documents and got the email from the embassy to submit the passport. If this is the case you may want to follow up with the embassy.
Sir,
I have extended my H1b visa in Sept. 2010. I appeared for interview in New Delhi and submitted my Passport on 20th of April 2011 and today is 23rd of May 2011. What do you think that how much more time can they take?
Regards

I had a soft LUD on my+spouse 485 application today. I am current for this sept but will not be in Oct. Since there are no visa numbers available, I am guessing this must be either a potential RFE or my previous company lawyers may have withdrawn my G-28 representation
Does anyone know if before an RFE , would they or did they get a SOFT LUD, is this common?
Also if my previous attorney withdrew G-28 forms, will this also result in soft lud?

Hi
I have an urgent query. Please help.
I was laid off from my company AA during last week of March-2010. I have not yet singed the lay off letter. And I was rehired by the same AA company on second week of May. I have valid I 94 for next 2 years. But my visa got expired. I was out of payroll for a month. I dont have last 2 payslips.
I have joined the new client through the AA company few days before. My AA compay is asking me to go my Home country and get my Visa stamped and come back. Is there a way that I can continue the employment here without travalling to my Home country at this point ? Are any other better solutions / ways.
Immediate response highly appreciated.
thanks

I have got my EAD, and my application was filed in EB3, 2005 in perm.
With the kind of speed USCIS is working with, I fear I would never get my GC.
Whereas My brother is a Citizen. Can it be possible that he files family based GC for me ?
I have read that for family based applications they regard the priority date as date of filing I-130.
If I do so, will my current process be wiped off ?
what are the repurcussions.
Please advice.
It does not wipe out any thing. But PD for Brother/Sister of Citizens ( 4th Category) is 04/15/1998. EB3 is better then that. Just apply I-130 in case.

Antonio - the English translation would be Great Egret. Once in a while we'll see a one or two perched on railings at the state parks around here but they always take off when we get closer.
