Hello,
I have heard of the TERM 'Interfiling' to port your priority date from EB3
to EB2. This i hear happens when your 485 is pending with USCIS and
you have an EB2 labour with current PD date. So you transfer the PD using Interfiling.
Any one any thoughts or have you done this ?
Thank You !

I had a very bad experience with vonage. I applied for rebate with all the papers and sent my adaptor to India. For some technical reason it was not working and I was paying for vonage for long time. After eight months, my rebate was rejected without any reason. When I wanted to cancel my connection, I had to wait more than two hours in line and had to call more than couple of times. But still vonage charged my CC for cancellation fee. I had to file a dispute with CC. Thats the reason I never want to use their service and never recommend to anyone.

ADMIN: This thread is for people who want to file I-485 filing on their own. Since 485 filing requires only one document from the employer (Employer's letter saying you have the job and its the same job description, see the sample format below in the second quote box), its possible to file 485 by oneself without additional help from lawyer or employer. This is a thread for that purpose. Even those who have the help and attention of a good lawyer can use this thread for guidance. This is the initial list of documents that are required for 485 filing and the optional EAD and AP filing. The fee structure is scheduled to change after July 30th. The fees listed below are applicable now thru July 29th.

I have a question regarding this whole idea of filing on your own:
Whats the reason for doing this? Is it because:
1. Attorneys will be busy during this time
2. Employer will not file 485
3. Bad Experience with Attorneys
4. Anything else please explain
If 2, whats the guarantee that he will not cancel your LC/140 once he knows that you are filing on your own?
Sorry about bringing this up. My employer is ready to file 485 but not EAD and AP. He says if we don't renew our EADs on time then we will be out of status and hez seen lot of such cases. Can I file EAD and AP on my own and let my employer file 485?
Thank you all for the patience!!!
For me, its 1 and 3. I am sick of my company's lawfirm. They are slow and they always end up filing things late. I almost lost my driver's licence renewal in April due to their procrastination and slowness in apply for H1 extension. If they do the same thing in this, then dates can retrogress and window of opportunity closes.
Besides, I somehow feel that errors on forms are more likely when paralegals do your paperwork rather than you doing your paperwork.
I am planning to keep a backup of all paperwork to file on my own if the lawfirm fails to file it by the 7th or 8th July. I will fire them and tell them to back off and do this on my own. I think that if they cant burn the midnight oil and work overtime during such critical times, then they deserve to lose business and we deserve to take care of our problems.

Today I asked the customer service, they told me, I have to 315 dollars for annual plan. 239.99 + taxes = 315 dollars
Still you save on an average $85 a year... not a bad deal
33.38 per month x 12 = 400.56 - 315 = 85.56 (savings)
315 / 12 = 26.25 per month

are they talking about calling from US to any India #? this sounds ridiculous.
What's ridiculous about it? Their website say's that you can call any number in India ( land line or cellular ) for free and unlimited time. It clearly says - * Calls to cellular phones included.

Regarding: Inquiry/status for I-485 AOS application sent to USCIS, Nebraska Service Center on July 2nd 2007
[FedEx Tracking No. xxxx
Recd. by Mr. R.WILLIAMS
NSC At Jul 2, 2007 7:55 AM]
My Adjustment of status application [I-485,I-765 and I-131] based on EB2 category, was delivered to Department of Homeland Security, USCIS, Nebraska Service Center, Lincoln, NE on July 2nd 2007. It was received in the mailroom at 7.55am (reference : FedEx tracking number xxxx).
USCIS website says NSC are working with August 2007 received AOS applications. However, I haven't heard any sort of communication pertaining to my pending application with USCIS. USCIS Customer Service would not pull up my application information in the system yet. Seems like USCIS is either not following the First in First out (FIFO) process for sure or the figures are misleading.
Details as provided below:
First Name of Applicant: xxx
Last Name of Applicant: xxx
Date of Birth: xxxx
FedEx Tracking No: xxxx
I would greatly appreciate if your office can help me to track and process my AOS application delivered to NSC on July 2nd 2007. Please feel free to contact me at xxxx for any additional information.
Thanks and Best Regards,

And you did not understand that this is a way for the lawyer to advertise himself.
He may have seen many people worried about this issue on IV and he wrote on his site . Now you are becoming his agent and posting on this site. This is not a news. It is only a comment. It can be true/partially true or partially false.
To me this issue is a non issue for which IV is working and this lawyer is blowing out of proportion. Only handful of people got denials and that too because their Desi employer acted in revenge for them leaving the company.
Revoking 140 does not neccessarily have to come from desi employers. In most cases, the 140s are revoked because the immigration attorneys suggest the employers to do so, so that they need not carry paperwork and also make it easy to respond to rfe for ability to pay.
For Immigration Attorneys, this is bread and butter and they will get into all avenues to do business and make money and keep their business running and booming.

Prior to my SR the IO said that they don't have FP cleared, I called FBI and confirmed that they sent back my FP's and in my SR I request the IO to input the details that I got from FBI, Looks like that did the trick.
All the best for the folks who are waiting for approval.

Murthy's Flash News
http://www.murthy.com/nflash/nf_062907.html
We have received news from the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) that they have reliable information that the July Visa Bulletin will be revised on Monday, July 2nd, or Tuesday, July 3rd. This Visa Bulletin is expected to retrogress many of the categories that were announced as being "Current" for July. It is expected that at least some of the categories will become completely "unavailable." The reason for this is that the USCIS apparently engaged in extraordinary efforts to approve cases in June, once there was some forward movement of the Visa Bulletin. They did this to try to avoid the tide of cases expected in July. Each green card approval uses one visa number. If the numbers are all used for the year, then the DOS will issue a revised Visa Bulletin reflecting "unavailable" in the particular category or categories.
