Is it possible to file I-485 without I-693(Medical) ?
The reason I ask is that I cannot get a doctor's appointment in July. For some reason, if we are able to file in July, can I submit the 485 first and submit teh I-693 later.
Please advise
There were doctors in my area who did not ask for appointments. I got my medicals done by walk-in. It means you have to wait, but you can decide wen to go instead of an appointment. Call all doctros within a certain radius and see if anyone will accept walk-ins.

Some of us here are under the grand illusion that
(a) the lawmakes consider relief for skilled immigrants in isolation to be an important enough issue that they will make it a priority
(b) Relief for EB immigrants is totally non-controversial and everybody and his brother will back us.
Both assumptions are dead wrong. If 900 of the biggest companies and universities in america cannot convince congress to make SKIL bill a priority, then you know what a formidable challenge lies ahead of us.
As for EB relief being non-controvesial, I only need give one counter-example : S 1932.
We are all desperate for any relief : I repeat ANY. To think that the core team would be so shortsighted as to only pursue grandiose bills like CIR and not be on the look out for smaller relief measures is naive and severely underestimating their intelligence.

Hello All,
I own a D70 and have had major focus issues. I finally spent 3 hrs at the store where I purchased the camera until they finally agreed that it was defective. I just got a call today saying it was repaired. Hopfully it works. I recomend if somebody purchaces the D70, that you test it extensively before you take it out in the field. Out of 4 people I know with this camera, 3 have the focus problems.

Congrats!
You are better off finding someone here, unless ofcourse you have plans to marry someone you already know :)
By the way, what is your PD, RD, ND Service Center, etc.?
Got the status update email from USCIS stating a card has been issued for my 485 application.
I am not married yet. What are the implications if I get married to a citizen of india residing in India.
Kindly refer me to appropriate material if you know of any.
Thanks,
Akshay

Thats correct. What I meant was, if you're planning to come back before 04/30 then are you planning to come back with the current visa or are you planning to get the new one stamped?
Also, you don't have a date gap in your visa in the passport. I-94 expires 04/2007 and have a new 797 from 05/2007. So I think you are good. But in my case, my I-94 expires 01/2007 and I have 2 797s: one expires Jun 2007 and the other one will be from Jun 2007 to Jun 2010. So if my visa is given based on my latest 797 (3yr based on I140) then how do I enter US before Jun 2007?
What do you mean? I thought we can only get it stamped outside US.
That is what my attorney kind of said as well. The thing is there is really no
"start date" on the visa stamp so clubbing the I797's is effectively the same
as honoring the second I797 (as far as the date on the I797 is concerned).
My only concern in that case if the officer at the port of entry has any issues because of the two I797's.

against the mouse, press it against your forehead and think about the benifits that you milked from this country".
Lot of people didnt milk much benefits....only people who came on F1 and worked as RA/TA probably "milked"
from US
Rest who were working on H1B paid all the taxes same as any american and
got no returns for it.
A whole lot of people milked from "H1B" workers
As a matter of fact H1B worked for far lower wages than the market forces
would decide thereby keeping the cost of IT infrastructure support for the
financial services, insurance, retail etc low just as mexicans work for
below min wages to keep the cost of maintaining the infrastructure low.
Corporate America knows this and thats why they always shout for H1B
shortage , they NEVER shout for EB visa shortage or just do a lip service
because it looks bad.

I wonder the reasons for Switzerland to be #1. Its a small country with minimal immigration and not much resources. Key revenue might be from Tourism. They are not known for scientific work etc.
... Maybe swiss bank accounts are key to it ! ;)
You got that right! Swiss bank accounts of corrupt third world country leaders are the key.

I would not mind getting EAD few weeks late and prefered to have reciept notice recieved instead. I filed Jul 2nd at TSC and no news yet about Reciept, CC, EAD, AP. Most July 2 filer at NSC got their reciepts 2 weeks ago.
There may be 1% chance of 485 being rejected and that is pretty scary. Easly NSC filers can atleast put their mind at rest for 485 acceptance.
I agree with you . peace of mind is better than getting EAD 2 weeks early

It is not just 10 days but over 375 days (from July-19-2007 to July-28-2008)
I can understand how you overlooked this. :)
Hello,
I am sure others might have noticed that 485 processing dates at NSC (for example) have literally crawled from the beginning of the year to now. Here are the processing dates (per USCIS status).
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=NSC
12/15/2007 Status - 04/24/2007
01/15/2008 - 07/19/2007
06/15/2008 - 07/28/2008
Thats roughly 9/10 days worth of 485 processing from mid-Jan to mid-Jun 2008. I wonder what the processing date looks like for the mid-July status update (which should probably be out tomorrow).

Deleted links to the blog since some members comuters got infected when they visited this blog site. I'll post the text from the blog in this thread soon.
Non-Immigrants - All talk and no action?
I have been a silent member of ImmigrationVoice.org, a group formed by and for Highly Skilled Non-Immigrants wishing to legally migrate to the US to lobby Congress for reforms. When I first heard about ImmigrationVoice on another immigration bulletin board, I was curious to find out what their agenda was. With an ambitious goal of reforming the immigration system to favor the Highly Skilled Immigrants and with a little over 200 members, I was one amongst the next 100 who hoped that this then small organization would make a difference and signed up. I am here on a H1B work visa and still have 3 years left. I know that this struggle has to start for me now for it would be too late.
By now, the organization had grown to almost 3000 members and with a dedicated team of advisors and group members, they made a bang in the immigrant community last year by going on a PR spree and even rallied amendments through prominent pro-immigrant senators and lobbying firms to include/introduce amendments in the failed 2006 CIR bill, all through meagre finances (compared to other anti-immigrant groups) albeit rich with passion and hope.
I consciously started donating not because I was hoping that something WILL happen, but atleast with the hope that I tried to make it happen and that I can proudly go down if it didn't. People have almost always benefited from the actions of a small group of highly motivated individuals who tried and tried and tried. Some succeeded but some failed. Those who led and won will make history. Those who followed and won will proudly remember the history. Those who refused to follow and still won will with guilt remember the history.
Hope is the quintessential trait of a successful person. If I knew how to predict the future, I wouldn't be here. What is important is that behind hope there is always strength. Mahatma Gandhi once said that "Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will".
Every non-immigrant has the indomitable will to succeed based on his/her definition of success. I had the indomitable will to fly 12,000 miles to a destination I had never been to, clutching a scholarship and hope. I had the indomitable will to persist after 9/11 to find a job. If I didn't I would have called it quits and returned back home. My friend almost got killed at a gas station. Why? He had the indomitable will to try to stand up on his own to pay his tuition and living expenses. There are several stories of sacrifices and will power that constantly amaze me even till this day. One guy worked at a meat packing plant to earn minimum wage while simultaneously studying for a triple major. The worst part of his story was that he comes from a strict indian family of orthodox brahmins who by tradition and religion consider all living beings sacred.
When you hear these stories of how people have lived their lives to reach wherever they are, lobbying for a reform should be an easier task. Its not rocket science. Just like americans, we non-immigrants take our rights for granted. "We pay taxes. We pay Social Security. We pay Medicare. We pay state taxes. etc. etc." SO WHAT? You drive a car, get excellent health care, make enough money to buy your parents a house/car, parade yourself everytime as the rich successful lad who left the shores to the land of opportunity everytime you visit your motherland. At what cost?
Sometimes, Charles Darwin's quotes come to my mind; Like this one - "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change."
We, non-immigrants adapt ourselves to the utmost degree that we almost always end up trying to find the easy route in order for us to preserve our way of life in the name of adaptiveness.
John Porter counters Charles darwin by saying-"People underestimate their capacity for change. There is never a right time to do a difficult thing. A leader's job is to help people have vision of their potential."
In my humble opinion, that is exactly what ImmigrationVoice.org has been trying to do.
Off late, it seems that a majority of the members seem to bring in their own agenda and rally behind their own agenda completely devoid of ImmigrationVoice.org's objectives. There was not one bulletin board thread which has never sidetracked from the topic of discussion. In the name of constructive criticism or the character of the devil's advocate, a small minority have caused confusion and resentment of the objectives of ImmigrationVoice.org. For those members, I suggest that you read the objectives of ImmigrationVoice.org and subscribe to them or look for another group with common objectives such as yours.
I have always had the opinion that if you can't get it done, step aside and let someone else do it. Observe, encourage, argue with a discipline and respect like a professional, but don't leave. Every single ounce of hope is required to achieve ImmigrationVoice.org's goals. Its hard to convey emotions through words, but I do know that deep within every non-immigrant's heart, there is a passion for success, hard work, commitment and willpower. If not, we wouldn't be forcing the nation/world to take notice of us or atleast try doing so.

I know Immigration voice is not for profit organization and it is doing a great job.
My intention is not to belittle IV, my intention is just to express my opinion as a user, most of the problem will be solved if the links are not shown to non members if they are not allowed to see the content.
I just saw your post in YouTube, it is very informative.
All the time and effort that IV volunteers put in and the lobbying efforts don't come free. There is a cost associated with it. As tonyHK12, I'd rather trust IV and risk $25 a month than leave everything up to chance and hope. Just my 2 cents.

My wife had the same issue. We had to type the following letter and attach evidence as follows:
Date Entered to US - Visa Type - Date leaving US I-94 Status Evidence
For the evidence, you need to refer to the copy of the passprt that indicates the stamping and your lawyer must include a letter that states that he has verified all the dates and attach the reference to page number duly attested by the lawyer's office.
Under the I-94 status column, you need to indicate if the I-94 was surrendered at airport or not. If you are not aware, please enter 'do not know'. Visa type was the type of visa used to enter US (my wife travelled on B1, H1 (some 10 times) and most recently on H-4) and now waiting for EAD to resume a new career.
Hopefully that should address it. Apparently, my lawyer has never seen an RFE on I-131. So, he's not sure if that resolves it or not. Case status still indicates an RFE online. Good luck.
