Hello Bpositive,
I am in the same situation as you are and have been for about 2 and a half months. I got a yellow slip and still awaiting feedback from the Consulate who in turn is awaiting a response from Washington.
It depends on when you left the US and if you received your AP before your left the US.
There was a letter published on November 1, 2007 which can be found here
http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/HandLFinalRule110107.pdf)
If you received the AP before you left the US then there is no risk in returning on the AP from what I have been told but if you did not receive it before you left the US then there is a risk of you entire AOS process being cancelled and this all depends on the officer and the situation at the POE.
Unfortunately in my case I didnt receive my AP until after I left the US and am awaiting feeback from my lawyer regarding the rule in the link.
Let me know if you find any other information
as it would help me as well.
Please..request that only those with personal experience with this respond. I have to decide in the next hour or so and have lawyer opinions already.
Has anyone gone through this?
My H1 is pending 221g admin process (Pink. possibly because I have a Phd in biology) I can't wait much longer as I may risk losing my job. Can I travel on my valid AP? I am not concerned about keeping my H1 status etc. My only concern is at port of entry. Lawyers have told me it is ok, but I would like to hear from people who have done this themselves.

Folks,
CNN - and Media Coverage of Immigration
Wanted to suggest..today they are showing a wide variety of perspectives on Immigration problem. I have seen in the recent past on one such programs they invite people to call and express their views.
Perhaps it is time for folks to dial the 1-800 number and speak up on the retrogession issues, backlog inefficencies, eb2, eb3 being stuck for china, india, inabitliy of spouses to work and request for lengthier h1 extensions, asking for GC for those who are here for more than 5 years etc...
The views will be aired in public and I am pretty sure all the politicians will be watching with interest, they will also hear the difference bet Legals and Illegals and also the problems faced by legal immigrants - First Hand.
Perhaps it may be a worthwhile idea to discuss what to talk !

Are you sure that if the employer is not revoking 140, (but they will cancel h1b ) i can join some other employer after receiving EAD.
Canceling h1b doesn't affect I-485.I am not sure about I-140 part.

Here (http://www.dphoto.us/forumphotos/showgallery.php?cat=1377) are a few pictures from my excursion to Turkey Run S P last weekend. While my camera performed better than I expected from a late-90's era 2.7MP DSLR, I didn't fare so well, coming home with far fewer "keepers" than I would have liked. My greatest problem was that I either didn't set up a tripod or failed to increase the ISO to get more DOF in many landscape shots that needed it, and frequently I also got motion blur from lack of tripod usage. This experience has taught me that for me personally, even though the D1 is 2 stops faster than Velvia, I still must slow down and use a tripod - not only to prevent blur and enable slower exposures, but also to force a slower and more thoughtful pace of composition.

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/177934_bus_queue_v.jpgMajor news for relatives of legal permanent residents who have been patiently waiting for their petitions to become current. The Department of State reported in the September 2010 visa bulletin (http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5113.html) that applicants who are spouses or children of greencard holders (filed as late as January 1, 2010) can now be processed for greencards. This is true for applicants from all countries except Mexico and the Dominican Republic, whose priority dates aren't far behind either: January 1, 2009.
What is a a "priority date," you ask? A "priority date" is a legal term of art that can be exceedingly hard to explain (especially in a blog), but I'll try. Let's start with basics. There is a quota on how many immigrants can come legally to the country per year. Imagine the quota like it is a long line of people lining up for a greencard. The people at the front of the line are those whose relative petitions were filed earliest, ie those with the earliest "priority date." A priority date is established on the date that your petition is received by the USCIS. Of course, the earlier your priority date, the sooner you can later ask for greencard status. Generally, priority dates always move forward, but these dates can also go backwards, and if applications aren't received by USCIS before this "retrogression" happens, applicants are back to the waiting game.
In the past month, the (F2A) priority date in the the family-based second preference category (ie for spouses and children of greencard holders) advanced from March 2009 to January 2010! This has made an incredible difference to those who have been waiting to be reunited with their spouses and children, rather than expecting a year or more of wait, this category of new immigrants can now start processing their greencard applications. If you would like assistance in making sure that your application can be made as quickly as possible, contact the attorneys at Fong & Chun, LLP before those dates retrogress. --ecf

Our visa stamp (H1B/H4) are expired in our passports. We are planning to travel via 'Frankfurt (FRA), Germany' to Mumbai in Lufthansa airlines and we will get our passport stamped in Mumbai. Does anyone have experience travelling via 'Frankfurt (FRA), Germany' without visa stamp in passport?
I know that travlling via London has some difficulties but not sure about 'Frankfurt'.
Please let me know.
FYI..We have our EAD and I-485 is pending with approved I-140.
Thanks for your help.

You should not have any issues travelling via Frankfurt to India with an expired visa stamp. I've travelled as recently as last month with an expired visa stamp.Returning to the US with a visa stamp or using advanced parole should be fine.

Great font choice, but it's to big ;)
I wouldn't reccomend making it smaller, because that font seems to look well large. I'd say search over www.dafont.com under the Script section for a simple caligraphy font :D
Good Luck!

Its true... I am also in the same situation. My perm applied in Jan 2010 and H1B getting expired in Apr 2010, my company planning sending me to India to work from there. My attorney told me that once perm get approved then they can apply for I 140 even I am out of the country.
And then apply H1 B ext. and can come back to US. Let see how it works.

Going after employers to tackle the undocumented employees seems a better way of dealing with this issue of immigration than going after illegal immigrants. They are coming here only because they can find jobs.........and some of the employers exploit them too.

Hello,
Can someone tell me about the final interview for the EB based GC process.
1) Does everyone get called for an interview or is it done on selected cases based on individual factors?
2) When is it generally done? Prior to approval of your 485 or prior to the issue of your visa(GC).
3) Why is it done and what kind of questions can one expect during the interview?
Thanks
Lasantha
A couple acquaintances have gone through the process. Some Australians were given a lot of grief when the person accused them of coming from Antigua or some little Island. It was obviously a typo on their part--they have obvious Aussie accents. He accused them and accused them. They didn't give and the officer gave up. Officer 0, immigrants 1.
Another woman was asked if she's planning on staging a terrorist attack. (She's French.) She said something like "If I was, would I tell you?" and then had to wait an extra year as the officer said they were done. Officer 1, immigrants 0
Remember spouses birth dates, etc.
So even if they ask idiot questions, and they probably will, don't make any jokes or anything. Be firm, formal, and polite. Behave as you wish they would.
