I am on H1 with 485 pending. Now that I can file for my wife's EAD, If she starts working on EAD do I need to also give up my H1 and start working on EAD?

FOLKS, Please consider using this following approach:
- Take 10 Minutes *NOW* to call these numbers to leave messages. If you are married, split these between husband and wife.
- If you call *NOW*, you just need to leave a Voicemail.
- Call at least 1 other friend and request him/her to call with these messages.
- Use your Yahoo! or Hotmail address book and send the messages to your contacts
- If you are on LinkedIn, send this message to your contacts.
- If you are on Orkut, 'scrap' everyone
This is key. Dont put this off.
No one will help you. You've got to help yourself.
This is one problem that cannot be 'outsourced'.
It is easy to say .... "well others are calling. I know I should call but ...(fill in your favorite excuse)"!!
15 minutes will potentially save you months of continued agony!
The Admins have
- Given the names and numbers
- Give the script
Just follow it. Please. Dont put this off. Dont expect 'someone else will do it'. Every call counts.
If possible, have husband and wife EACH call. Have your kids call. Nothing like a child's voice, more so if your kid is a US Citizen. Tell your kid to identify himself/herself as a citizen. Also builds your child's self esteem and leadership instincts.
Please, dont put this off. Your shopping trip, random errand, movie or dinner CAN wait.
Take 15 minutes to call them NOW. If you call now, it will most likely go to Voice Mail. Thats OK. At least you wont be 'worried about not coming across OK'. Just do it. Please.
And, do update the poll after that.
Thanks!

Lasantha,
When you called TSC prior to your GC approval, what did the IO at TSC tell you?
I'm asking because I know your RD was June 2007, when I called TSC today they told me that they have not got to my I-485 application because they are currently working on I-485 applications with RDs of April 2007 and my RD is June 2007 like yours.
Thanks!
Speedo,
Yes I did call the USCIS the day prior to getting the welcome email. Now if that triggered the approval or not I can't be certain.

Thank you for you informative posts. wonder why they are not interested in recapture...
"One person at the meeting was skeptical that many people have been waiting more than 10 years, saying that she has never come across anyone waiting more than 6 years and that these must be special cases where the people were doing something wrong. "
There are tens of thousands from retrogressed countries who have been stuck for more than 8 years (PD 01 and 02). Most of us were either stuck in namecheck or BEC blackhole through no fault or ours. Still there are others who were screwed by employers and had to reapply labor and restart the GC process. When i talk to my congressman, all they say is that the PD is not current and they cannot help.
It was not a hearing, just a meeting with some of the people I worked with over the past year on the stimulus issue.
Anyway, I went to the meeting and presented the issues raised by people here and emphasized that the first priority is recapture. Of course I raised the other issues as well, presenting the argument that America will lose its competitive edge if its highly skilled immigrants return to their home countries or other more welcoming countries like Canada, the UK, and Australia.
One person at the meeting was skeptical that many people have been waiting more than 10 years, saying that she has never come across anyone waiting more than 6 years and that these must be special cases where the people were doing something wrong. Anyway, I presented the stories people sent me, but when I raised the issue of granting a fast track
...
One recommendation they had was than anyone who has been waiting for an unreasonable time for their applications to be processed should contact their congressman/congresswoman with information about their specific cases.

This has become a ranting thread of EB3 folks. One simple question:
How many of you EB3 India folks who are complaining actually went to Washingtno DC last month for IV Advocacy event?
I hear it was not even 250 people. If you take out all EB2 people, so few EB3 people. This means EB3 people do not really want to do anything but after every visa bulletin come to the site and rant.
We in EB2 do not have much to worry. Our dates will move fast. But you EB3 had a chance last month and you blew it by not doing anything. So stop complaining.
I dont think we all are complaining...We are just thinking out loud hopefully some solution / direction comes out of it. But one thing is sure people certainly did not like your attitude.. It could be that you are deliberately trying to instigate something just for fun or maybe you are having a bad moment or may be none of these, I was just trying to think the rationale behind your comments ...(could be even u just stated something and people didn't understand whatever u really meant and applied thier own interpretation)...only u or god knows the truth...I dont have anything against u and know for sure that even u dont have anything against us.

Guys, Please do not ridicule saralayar. he has raised a very valid point. We are so involved with the GC issue that we are not able to think beyond that. I do agree with the fact that IV is so preoccupoed with GC crisis that there is no point (or bandwidth) to raise citizenship issue. I have seen so many of my friends who came with me in US 8 years ago and are citizens by now but I am still struggling with GC with no hope in site. Sometime, I think, by the time, I will get GC (if I), they will become sr citizen :) it feels very bad but cant help it.
I agree. We could try for some reduced wait time towards citizenship for people whose GC applications are backlogged or those facing years of retrogression. A good starting point would be to write to Ombudsman with this suggestion. Although this is not an administrative fix it would be good to highlight this furhtur at Ombudsman level.

If a person joins IV to declare his GC; it can be assumed that he knows IV exists and it's goals but never bothered to show up earlier till the magical email.
Correct. There maybe many such people. And we see it as our failure too. Because as a community we have not raised enough awareness about us. Some people maybe seeing us just a forum and lot more outreach work is needed by our active members. Each one of us should contact our friends and tell them about IV. New members on IV should get answers to their questions as well as information about related advocacy work done by IV politely urging them to help out. Other websites and forums should also help raise awareness about what we do so that the community understand that what we do is for the benefit of the community and it is a community effort.

Okay for the record from my side (Vijay's side of the story). The GPS girl had a sweet voice and she wouldn't talk to me unless I made a wrong turn. Finally I loved listening to her "Recalculating" and I could go on, until Puneet and Sumita interrupted. :p I was in fact contemplating on giving flowers to the GPS girl if not for logiclife's sweet reminder that only he had the rights to be "flowery" :D
May be that is the reason he did not accept flowers from needhelp! Well the bottom line counts, we all had food after long drive on a supposedly short route.
On a side note, someone told me D.C is was very nice to see at night, so was trying my level best to make Pratik, Jay and Vandana enjoyed sight seeing enroute to the restaurant!:)
it was 3:00 AM in the morning.
i think it was little late for sight seeing.
specially everyone wanted to eat KABOBS since evening.

I never said all this crap. you could be what you are.. There are probably more qualified people who didn't get a chance to get the same f***ng benefits you enjoy.. IV is trying to help them.. It is impossible to show that because of your 100$ bill, you GC is printed 20 sec faster.. If you don't believe in what is going on in IV, take a hike..
Yelling will not make anyone to donate.
If organizations like AILA, IV did not raise questions, who could have the potential to change a revocation memo issued from Washington DC?
Like thousands of applicants who did not donate, I was a beneficiary of July 2007 fiasco.
Whether others believe it or not, I realized that there was something IV did.
Eventually I started the donations.
Though very negligible against others who make $300, $500 frequently, I am not afraid of making them regularly.
It is not for what IV is going to do for me, but for what they have already done.
So, if someone has not realized the benefits, explain them. Yelling equally makes all of us in the same plane.

pappu,
Is there any thing we can do to save IV forums, from all these so called smart people.
Simly these guys want to derail the whole discussion either it is EB3 push or visa capture or any kind of fruitful discussion.
I know it is difficult to stop creating and screening ids, atleast can you delete some unrelated postings and make sure that there is some healthy discussion continues and people like me wont stop visiting IV.
Bookmark and Share
May be you are new to IV.. Here's a regular thread looks like at IV
OP posts a new idea or a genuine question
At the end of page 1 'Who gave me red dots?' starts.
Starting of page 2, couple of 'Here I am giving you greens' starts
Page 3 - Then Donor Vs Freeloader starts
Page 4 - 'Holier than thou' discussions ensue
Page 5 - Same fight continues
Page 6 - Fake ids and 'Are you truly MS/MBA?' replies, accusations.
Page 7 - 'My toilet is broke, IV Core please fix it. What is core IV doing?' starts
By then end of page 7, another guy posts 'Vonage free calls to India/Remit2India better than XYZ' on main page & all the attention goes over there.
Repeat loop infinite times.

Hi Ramki,
I think this question is better answered in a discussion environment ....
Let us all fix a time to meet on Immigration voice chat some time this week night or weekend to discuss ideas.
We can meet tomm at 9.30 EST for an hour or so ?
Please confirm availability those who can
Hi Chintu,
First of all, your willingness to share info that is beneficial to others is appreciated. When is the chat / telecon scheduled? I remember seeing something about yahoo chat, but not sure where it is gone (blame that friday night partying... :eek:)
Lemme know. Thanks!

It would be very good have an ability to apply for I485 for spouse or any other dependents for primary applicants whose PD is retrogressed.
Absolutely. Just for this reason there are hundreds of 485 folks not able to utilize EAD/AP and are still hanging on H1 just so that they can bring their spouse and keep the status.

Since the Lock Boxes are in place now, does the processing times published monthly by the USCIS give any indication of the average time taken to process EAD & AP ?
Also which service center ( i.e. based on lock box location etc) should we consider when looking at the processing times from now on ?
