I came in US with my family when I was 15-16, back then we were on L2, then as time passed by we switched to H4. Then I turned 21 so I had to go on Student Visa (F1). Still living in US legally.
Now my question is I've been staying in US over 10 years now, legally. I dont know if its rumor or not, but someone told me, that you can apply for Green Card if you lived in US over 10 years legally, is that true?
Going through all that H1B process sounds really hectic. Also all my family members, friends and relatives are here, I don't know anyone back in my birthplace. any suggestions or tips, would help a bit.
thanks :)

Interfiling can be a success or a failure depending on how you/your lawyer treats the case.
I know someone who successfully got his interfiling done from a 2007 EB2 to 2004 EB3 date and has the GC already.
Now,
Even if your lawyer files the case perfectly there is a chance that the case lands with an IO that either doesnt "LIKE" interfiling or doesnt understand it. So then again the casse might take longer than usual.
But as far as I know , cases are done and I havent seen any case that was filed properly being rejected, nevertheless there are people who are still waiting for adjudication but not rejected.

I got my first H1-B approval in 2008. I am originally from Mumbai and I have always got my previous visa stamps from the Mumbai consulate.
I paid my visa fees at an HDFC branch in Mumbai in the hope of getting an interview appointment in Mumbai this month. I am flying to India next week and I still do not see any open dates in Mumbai for the month of December. For some reason the VFS webpage displays open dates only at Chennai and Calcutta.
So the question... is it possible for me to visit the consulate in Chennai to get a visa stamp? Do I have to explain why I chose to come to Chennai instead of applying in Mumbai? Are there any other problems for people who choose a different consular district?
A quick survey on the US Consulate General - Chennai website only mentions to select the *most convenient* consular office. Right now I have at least one perfectly valid reason on why I should be granted an interview in Chennai.

Mine got approved in about 2 months time. My labor certificate reached the lawyer who passed it on to my employer.
I did a big mistake of not asking for a copy and again when I received it while filing I140 - did not make a copy again.
Please save a copy for yourself - it helps a lot while switching jobs during AC21.
Hope this helps.
Thanks. But how long did it take to get the physical copy after the online approval / approval mail from DOL.
I assume, you would have signed the labor before applying for I140.
Pls clarify.

Immigration Law from Houston Immigration Lawyer - Annie Banerjee Has Just Posted the Following:
In McDonald v. Chicago, The Supreme Court reasserted today that individuals have the right to retain guns at both the State and Local levels. The Majority consisting of conservative justices---- Alito, Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, and Kennedy based their decision on the history of the second Amendment, where militias were given the right to protect their farmlands. At that time we had no organized police force, we had no justice system in place.
Who are the militias of today? The KKK-- the uneducated people, who generally do not work, collect welfare checks, and blame all their owes on the colored people and now the "illegal immigrants."
If the Supreme Court grants the right to local levels to enact gun controls, one can only speculate for instance what kind of gun control laws Maricopa COunty in Arizona will enact.
Due Process protects every "individual"; it does not say "citizens". And just like every individual has the right to protect themselves with weapons, every individuals also have the more fundamental right to live.
Although the justices said that the Second Amendment allows for a reasonable restriction of guns, their rationale based on history of the second Amendment gives the militias a carte blanche right to bear arms. This can indeed set a dangerous precedence.

DHS has publicized initiatives to enhance the E-verify program here. (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=70beadd907c67210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=68439c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD) The initiatives include:
(1) a new agreement with the Department of Justice that will streamline the adjudication process in cases of E-Verify misuse and discrimination;
(2) an informational telephone hotline for employees to provide a more timely, effective and seamless customer experience for workers seeking E-Verify information; and
(3) new training videos focusing on E-Verify procedures and policies, employee rights and employer responsibilities in English and Spanish.
The DHS's fact Sheet answers questions such as when and why E-Verify will share information with DOJ, what information it will share, what videos are available and where, how the employee hotline will work, what issues it will address, etc.
For more information on E-Verify, see my prior blog posts here (http://martinvisalaw.blogspot.com/search/label/e-verify).

Folks,
I want to start entirely unrelated but important topic here.
Is it worth saving in Traditional IRA when we are uncertain about our stay in this country.
I also want to know if we have to pay penalty if we decide to leave the country and take our retirement investment with us.
Experts in investing, please help

Note - This has been posted in the regular forum also. Re-posting it here to get an attorney perspective.
I just wanted to throw this out there, since I did not get any definite answer from any forums.
When in need for I-485 issues, who is better to contact - Congressman or Senator.
I just want to know the pros and cons of each and maybe this analysis will help others down the line.
Points to note are:
1. There are more congressman in a particular state than senators. There are only 2 senators in a state.
2. Senators are more powerful than congressman (not sure that this power applies for talking to USCIS or not)
3. Senators and congressman have different terms in office. Hence is it better to contact someone who is going to stay longer, or someone who is up for election soon and hence may help.
4. For a particular USCIS case, can we contact both congressman and senator at the same time. Is this good.
Can members throw some light on this based on their prior experience and based on their knowledge.
Thanks in advance.

keep in touch with me. i will try to go to local office after 90 days (ie after oct 2nd) in case i dont get EAD by then (my lawyer sent my 485 on 6.29.2007) . its just to expedite not for interim EAD. cause they dont issue interim EADs anymore.
but if you have decided to file for H1 then no point in waiting for another month.
in my case the lawyer takes too much money, even though i dont pay directly but it comes out of my salary, ultimately thats why i am not pushing for my H1 extension.
also i am hoping i will get my 140 by then so that i can get 3 yr extension.

Never give childcare as a reason. INS treats this as employment for parents. But religious ceremony for child may work. For medical stuff, I'd say that you need to show that either they cant travel or they are under some treatment here. For both the reasons, you need a US doc to write a letter. The best reasons are travelling to different places in the US.

Mail it in, if it's rejected you do not lose anything. According to the law (8 USC 1255) the USCIS should accept it.
Not according to this:
8 1255. Adjustment of status of nonimmigrant to that of person admitted for permanent residence.
(a) Status as person admitted for permanent residence on application and eligibility for immigrant visa
The status of an alien who was inspected and admitted or paroled into the United States may be adjusted by the Attorney General, in his discretion and under such regulations as he may prescribe, to that of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence if
(1) the alien makes an application for such adjustment,
(2) the alien is eligible to receive an immigrant visa and is admissible to the United States for permanent residence, and
(3) an immigrant visa is immediately available to him at the time his application is filed.
