Your mother must rely on the I-94 and file an extension if she wants to stay more than 3 months. The extension can be filed any time before the I-94 expires.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has launched its newly re-designed Web site (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis). Although the Web site update was scheduled to be introduced September 22, 2009, attorney Eugenia Ponce visited the site Monday and has this report:
The updated Web site is organized according to categories.The categories are displayed as Topics, Forms, Resources, Laws, News, and About Us. The topics are categorized as follows: Adoption, Permanent Residence, Humanitarian, Citizenship, Members of the Military and Their Family, Family, Visit the U.S., Working in the U.S, and Genealogy. After clicking on a specific topic, I was provided helpful information and even more additional information was available through the links on the left of the screen.The advantage of categorizing the information by topic is that individuals are now able to familiarize themselves with the process from start to finish. There are other helpful links and tools within each specific topic.
Another key feature to the Web site is that there is a “where to start” link. Before, individuals could navigate throughout the Web site not knowing where to even begin their search on a narrow issue. Now, the “where to start link” will allow individuals to begin their immigration search by narrowing it down to their specific issue. For instance, there is a scroll-down available for individuals under the “where to start” link. It states “I Am,” and one can select from the various choices available and get specific information relating to any issue.
Given the new era with text messaging (even various airline companies provide flight and gate status information through text messaging), USCIS has upgraded its site by adding a link that allows individuals to receive case status updates via text messages. The newly designed site has provided a one-stop resource center for individuals with specific queries and I am excited in navigating throughout their links. Visit the newly re-designed USCIS Web site (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis) and see the improvements for yourself.

I am July filer got 485 RFE
seems like my prev attorney made a mistake and answered yes to "Have you ever before applied for permanent resident status in the U.S"
- well this is going to cost me
My question(s)
i changed job(and company) do i need to send AC21 along with RFE response.
and also can i send my medical records along with RFE (medical records i submitted are incomplete and says chickenpox vaccination needed now i am vaccinated and got the records of it).
if yes do i still need USCIS doctor to submit these medical records.

Its always safer to have an underlying non-imigrant visas such as H-1B in the vent of I-485 denial due to some unforeseen circumstances. IF you have an H-1B, you can continue to stay in the U.S.

Wrong info.
Denial of "extension of stay" wont invalidate "visa stamping".
also if you get denial stamp no longer be valid. This is what I also read online.

I have a similar situation and I just asked these questions from my lawyer so I can answer somewhat. Either case, someone will correct me if I am wrong.
1.Can I add my spouse to my GC status when PD is not current?My spouse is on H1B visa.
Not until your PD is current or close to being current. Does she have an approved LC and I-1140, pending 485 (concurrent filing)? If she does u may have some advantages like cross-chargeability etc.
2.If I start using EAD, is it still possible to add spouse or I should maintain valid H1 status?
Doesnt matter as long as you maintain either H1-B or AOS(pending I-485)

Does anyone know if you need a visa to visit the Grand Turk island? I am on an H1B in the US and taking a cruise to the Bahamas and T&C in April. The
ship stops over at Grand Turk for 6 hours.
Not sure about specific places, but in general problems are when you are coming back to US.
If you have stamped and valid h1b for returning back to US, you should be fine.
I have not had any issue or heard of any issues while visiting mexico, hawaii or alaska

Can a lawyer please comment on this?
Does using an H1 stamp to re-enter USA create any issues with my pending 485?
I do have an AP in hand too.
I too am working for the same employer who are helping me keep my H1 while 485 is pending.

I plan to use AC21 and apply G28. Any reasonable lawyer recommendation in and around bay area would be of immense help to me.
I tried Payal Singh and she is charging $1200 for AC21 and G28.
I checked with Arjun Verma and the cost is $400 for the same.
Still checking around...

We are in an era of US Immigration where a Fashion model work permit bill would have a better chance of clearing the house than a highly skilled immigrants bill.
05/09/2008: Fashion Model P-4 Visa Classification Bill, H.R.4080 Approved by House Judiciary Immigration Subcommittee 05/08/2008
As we reported yesterday, the subcommittee debated this bill and approved this bill for the full Judiciary Committee action of the House yesterday. A small positive news on the immigration legislation!
http://www.immigration-law.com/
The OPT 17 month extension rule ran into problems barely a month after it was introduced. The anti-immigrant groups constantly send faxes, emails and snail mail constantly to stop immigrant bills from passing. This frightens the senators and house representatives because they think that majority of United States citizens are agains't immigrant bills while an average United States citizen does not the know the difference between green card and H1 B clearly, leave alone opposing highly skilled immigrant bills.
USCIS makes tons of mistakes but it will try to repeal mistakes if it believes that it has made an error. The CSPA new regulations is an example of USCIS accepting and rectifying its mistakes.
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_revcsp.html
The AC21 act gave an additional visa number pool of approx 130,000 visa numbers which were actually unused EB visa numbers from 1999 and 2000. This is a reserve visa pool that could be used for future fiscal years. HOW CAN A RESERVE POOL BE USED WHEN THERE WERE UNUSED VISA NUMBERS FROM 2000 TO 2005?
http://www.nafsa.org/regulatory_information.sec/regulatory_document_library.dlib/u.s._immigration_system_2/ac21_-_the_american_competitiveness
The solution to our saga is to count the immigrant visa numbers from DHS statistics files of EB visas distribution for each year from 2000 to 2005.If we are unable to get all the information required from DHS statistics files we can put FOIA requests and get the information. Instead of making USCIS doing an audit we can do the audit ourselves and inform USCIS that there are still immigrant visa numbers left from the AC21 act. The good thing about this reserve visa numbers is that they can be rolled over to the the future years. So we can get them issued for the years 2008 and 2009.
I think this is the only solution to our saga.

the webfax letter is great and articulate and I dont undermine its value. But what i meant was another one based on just the hard country quota dilemma/eb3 ;A petition highlighting that even with the pro provisions our status will remain unchanged unless a amendment corrects it or provides a interim relief.
I dont think the fax would motivate any senator to present a amendment on the floor.It would surely educate and maybe earn their sympathy but would it do any good for our numbers??
A hard copy with full name,city,state of all members ..would that not mean a little bit more to them.I am not debating the work put in by the volunteers /admins its value is unparellel and hats off to all of you.
But the situation is getting so desperate that no measure seems inappropriate right now. Shoot all your arrows atleast one may strike or hit close to the aim!

Here's a sticky question - and appreciate "expert" advise on the matter:
My situation:
1. I currently work on a H1B for Company A
2. My future greencard has been filed by Company B - recd. EAD, applied 485
My question:
1. Can I work on my EAD either for company A or any other company?
Yes, you can work for any company, but with similar job description mentioned in your LC
2. What happens if I dont join Company B ever?
well this is a broad subject, I'll try to put it this way.
when you applied for AOS which I suppose is employment based, your intent is to work with the sponsoring employer on a "permanent position" (at least 6 months after the GC approval) and your sponsoring employers intent is to employee you on permanent position (again atleast 6 months after GC approval), so by never joining your sponsoring employer you are violating/contradicting the primary intent of Employment based AOS application which can lead to revoking of your GC in future or it might cause problems during your naturalization

OK. I give you the benefit of doubt. I gave 10 detailed replies on this subject.
but a search for 'skin test' gave me:
Search: Key Word(s): "skin, test" ; Forum: All other Green Card Issues and child forums
Showing results 1 to 6 of 6
Search took 0.03 seconds.
Doctor will keep x-ray. and write a report that there is no evidence of any active contagious TB infection now or in the past. Something like that. he will enclose it in the sealed cover.
Plus
advice to county to start INH regimen.
or
nothing. Go home nicely. As in my case.
