jonty_11, sundevil:
Isn't it possible that "sts_seeker" did not buy a subst LC or secure it illegally? Are you going to assume he's guilty unless proven innocent?
What if he's working for a decent company, and the company had a LC available because one of their employees left? What would they do with the LC other than offer it to another deserving employee? And why shouldn't "sts_seeker" take it if it was offered through perfectly legal channels?
You guys have a problem when DOS/USCIS does something illegal. But you have a problem even when "sts_seeker" and his/her company did something perfectly legal!
Your fellow senior members "nixstor", "tikka", "ramus", etc are working hard to get people to contribute to IV. And here, you are driving new members (and potential contributors) away?
Before replying to this, please read my disclaimer below. I have to add it given the fact how hot-headed/short-tempered members have been in the last few days where they will flame someone just because their opinions differ.
Thanks,
Jayant
P.S.: And for the record, I have not applied for GC using a subst LC. I know you must be itching to ask me this since I am offering a different opinion.
Disclaimer: These are my opinions. You don't have to agree with them. If you disagree, just ignore them. I am not interested in justifying anything that you might have to say. I would, however, reply to a civil and a healthy discussion.

Find another lawyer if you want to (or at this stage you can represent yourself easily) and file G-28 form. New G-28 will replace the old one and the info on file will be updated.
Thank you very much. I believe the same thing but wanted to check with you guys to be doubly sure.
are u saying fragomen is no good?
In no way, good sir. They are awesome in my books.
Did they not drop all the charges for now (even though the charges were true)? So why is your lawyer still docked? Maybe he no longer is, unless his "miracles" were different from Fragomen.
I don't have the official verdict from USCIS whether my lawyer is "still docked" or not, but I'm sure you can understand my situation. Even if my lawyer were "undocked," would I really want to risk some behind-the-scenes FBI investigation delay? Or even worse, a denial with some bullshit reason?
yeah, may be you shud share the name of your lawyer....who knows I might also be using this lawyer...you never know until you find out the names.
I do not wish to publicly hurt his business any further than what he has already endured for helping people like us. If you are really that concerned, send me a PM.
I think I'm in an interesting situation which could benefit future IV members. If there are any further comments, I would love to hear them.

Hello I am on H1B visa, I am going to India, not to return to US, at least for 3 or 4 years. I wanted to know If my checking, savings account's in US Banks will be valid or not? If so until what period? When do my SSN will expire? I dont plant to open any new accounts, but I just want to keep my Bank accounts open, thats why. Please let me know.
If the reason you are trying to keep the accounts open is because you want to maintain some money in dollars, one option is to open an FCNR account with some Indian bank (SBI for instance). They'll keep your deposit in dollars, and it also remains repatriable (in case you decide that you want that money when in India). The interest rates are also not that bad.
Accounts without any activity are typically marked inactive by banks and they'll try to contact you about it (after ~2 years or so). One workaround is to do online transfers among the bank accounts.
One thing though: your money will be earning interest in the US so you would want to ask a tax consultant whether there is any tax implication of this (ie. are you required to file a return)

Hi All,
It would be great if you tell me how to go about with police complain for lost passport? Is it just I have to call 911 or go in person? And what questions they ask?
Thank You

Can we all try to list some big so called stable banks (as of this writing)........... all we can do is keep the funds in them, but if FDIC tanks, we will loose a LOT.
Wells Fargo
Bank Of America (People may differ with me on this choice)

The previous post reminds me of an idea for an "interpretive dance" from Whose Line... "Diarrhea, flows like a river." And may I ask... how much did you pay the webmaster to post that advertising? (pardon me and ignore this if the previous post is deleted).
Anyway, I really like the second shot... It seems to have better contrast, which makes the flower stand out well. Good work, Gary; no need to apologize.

In Bank and other Government agencies they officially refer as I-485 Resident. In bank while approving a loan, one of the valid statuses is I-485 Resident.

My I-485 was filed on Dec 1, 2006. I called USCIS and had info pass and they told me that my name check is not clear. I talked to one lawyer and he is going to charge me 3500 for WOM. He has pretty good success rate. I am reading forum where they say it is better to wait minimum 2 years. Has anyone heared any case where wom is filed after one year and it was successful. My priority date is current.

As for as I know USCIS local office has stopped issuing interim EAD some where from 2006.
The only option we have is to request for expedite process which we can do by calling the USCIS customer service number. This you can get it in the USCIS website.
I think we can get the infopass only if 90 days has passed or if your EAD is going to expire soon and you need immediate attention.
Thanks buddy!
BTW, How to get an INFOPASS appointment?

For the benefit of people (like me ) who filed 2 sets of I-485s on same underlying I-140, during the July 07 fiasco, I am posting this info.
My July 2/07 filing got approved, I and my family got LPR cards on 8/8/8.
My other I-485 is still on with Last UD on 4/9/08 I did not get a FP notice on this, but my son and wife did FP on 1/2/08 and had LUD. I think USCIS will send a denial notice soon on these.
I also did e-filing for EAD renewal in mid July 08, did FP on 8/5/08, with a LUD on 8/8/08, the day we received out plastic GCs in mail.Again expect denial soon as I have GC now.
Any way I am not withdrawing these apllications myself,to avoid any confusion.
Fortunately I did not get RFEs, no "administrative process", as some one suggested, nor it did cause my case to be delayed specifically due to this duplicate application.
I did not want to lose the 1 month window opportunity that I got to get my AOS underway after waiting from 9/30/05,the last day when EB2 was current for me, and my PERM was found certified that morning at 10.00M.Eventhough I sent the whole package of 140/145 by day samedayFedEX, it reached VSC after office hours.VSC refused to accept my package and returned it back stating, PD not current on 10/3/05.
My next chance came almost 2 years later and the the July VB fiasco, Initial reports were that NSC was sending all the July2 back, so when I did not receive the package nor the I-797 until 8/16/07, I filed the second 485s.
Eventhough I had done stop payment on my checks and had asked" Do not Open in mail room" + plea to disregard the duplicate filing if my first filing was already accepted, with bold Multicolored lettering, the mail room clerks did not pay attention, went ahead and accepted my filing. When these checks were not cashed, USCIS sent collection notice from Debt management dept, I had to pay whether or this application was accepted or not. So I lost the filing fee and the penalty about $1200.00
I hope it will be ok for all the people who did like me. I wish all of you the best and early approvals

didn't know he is chair of the india caucus..
i'm in dfw, have written to cornyn and kay bailey (congresswoman) several times.
cornyn is part of the reason cir failed, he represents the very conservative republicans first (and came up with hundreds of amendments to cause a kinda of filibuster) and foremost and skil and other bills come second. skil failed again when it was brought up recently in the senate... so cornyn is pro legal immigration overall - might help with procedural issues, but i don't expect too much from him because he comes from a very conservative state.
