How many foreigners (in all categories) obtained US lawful permanent residence in 2008?
In 2008, 1,107,126 foreign nationals became lawful permanent residents (LPRs) (also known as green-card holders) according to the Department of Homeland Security's Yearbook of Immigration Statistics 2008. The total number represents a 5.2 percent increase from 2007 (1,052,415) and a 31.6 percent increase from 2000 (841,002).

Maybe USCIS would earn more income by telling the illegal immigrants to file EAD/I-485/Biometics every year etc.. Immigration attroneys would earn good money by replying to RFEs for 12 million immigrants. Getting this 12 million illegal immigrants legalized will surely improve the economy.
Everybody would be kept in the same backlog as we are. Illegal immigrants will stand in a que behind the legal immigrants. so you got the point

Thank you all for your responses.
Actually I wanted to know if one doesn't go out of the country and stays back in the US, and remains unemployed for whatever reason for say 6 month or more- medical, personal etc or perhaps just take a break.
As long as you have things to explain when you are up for naturalization. I know some who quit their jobs a few months after getting GC to go back to school.

Your education evaluation is valid for a long period(not sure how long). I applied for my first H1 in 2000 and got education evaluation that time. Stamping didnot work out for me that time.
I applied for new H1 in 2003 and submitted same education evaluation that I got in 2000. I entered US and used same edu eval for transferring H1. I did not have any issues.
So you are fine. I dont know if this applies to all cases.

No, it is a regular receipt notice.
Just a quick update, my EAD was returned to USCIS on the 30th day and they sent it back to me on the correct address within 5 business days.

I am currently on H1 Visa in the US. Am I allowed to go to school part-time and get my MBA degree ?
And also, I am looking at a big amount of money that I gotta pay for tuition, does anyone know any tax credits that we can use to reduce the burden ?
Any help/info would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, you can do part-time MBA without issues. There are tax breaks both at the federal and possibly the state level (NY has a tax break for students). The tax software will guide you thru it.
Good luck with your course.

USCIS had been given strict guidelines to process all cases within a six month timeframe depending on the type of the case. But many cases have come to light which are not seeing the light of the day.
How about filing our taxes on April 16, but not on April 15.
What is the relationship between the above two? You will get your return back if its postmarked past the deadline.

We have asked for an amendment to allow applicants to file for I 485 even when the dates are not current so that EAD can also be filed (which gives portability).
Please see the link "Amendments" on home page and look for Sen. Brownback's amendment.

I have filed for green card for my mother (all the required forms like I-130, I-485). My mom has an interview for the 29th of July. But unfortunately, due to her mom's demise and other family obligation like taking care of my dad she will not be able to come. Infact, she is not sure when she can come back. My question(s):
1) Can I withdraw my application for her green card (I-485, particularly)? So that I can file at a later date when things are in order.
2) If not, can I get postponement on the interview? and how far can we postpone it?
The questions arise because if we don't show up for the green card interview it is considered abandonment of the process, and can make it difficult (or maybe impossible) to get a green card in the future. If it wasn't for the family situation she would have been happy to be here.

applied June 27th( NSC ), still no FP..
Called them yesterday..the lady said that we need to wait for a 102 more days before they can consider this an issue :eek:
basically, there is no time period for FP , if we dont get EAD in the time frame then we call and ask. That's what the lady suggested.
we need to track if it happening to a lot of people.

what would be the likely effect of this ?
The purpose behind this move is to make the process more efficient and to reduce fraud by having each service center specialize in processing a particular form. But if the BECs are anything to go by, I will be surprised if this doesn't make things worse.

Hi, this is my first time in the forum and I wish to seek advice on my situation.
I'm a green card holder (singapore citizen) who got married while being a US PR. I wish to apply for my wife (singapore citizen) a green card.
How long is the typical wait?
See visa bulletin. Your case is Family Based (FB) 2A. Currently, it is at 01APR06 (i.e., the applications that USCIS received before 04/01/2006 are eligible to be approved). You need to study how quickly the dates move by going through VISA bulletins in the last 3-4 years, but my guess would be about 5 years.
Visa Bulletin for March 2010 (http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4659.html)
while applying, is it true that my wife can't enter the US?
AFAIK, not on the basis of her GC application, but if she gets another (dual-intent) VISA, say H1B, then she can enter US.
I kind of know the answers but would like to confirm with this forum. I know the situation can be pretty bleak.
Many many thanks,
After 5 years of being PR, you can become US Citizen. After you have become a US citizen, your wife's GC application will no longer be subject to a quota and she should get GC within a few months (processing time).

Helo all,
Thanks for you advises.
Here is my case details. GC is under retrogression
PD is 09/2005, concurrently filed both I140 and 485, AP and EAD on Dec 2004at California Center , but employer located at NJ. According to attorney as I am working in CA, he has to file at CA. Dependent's 485 is not applied and now she is in US on H4. Never used AP and EAD. Working on H1 with GC sposor employer only.
I140 got approved in Aug 2005. Applied for 7 th year extension for me and dependent. Got approved for three years based on approved I140
Now I want to move to Texas and want to transfer H1 to new employer using AC21. Can I relocate from CA to Texas( In ETA forms Job location is mentioned as Undecided) and can I get 3 years H1 transfer approval through new employer?
New employer will give offer letter as Programmer Analyst with very good salary than current, but he is requesting to work as QA for some time at client place in Texas. Can I work in different job responsibilities at cleint though new employer's offer letter says Programmer Analyst with same job responsibilities mentioned in Labor?
Please advise me
Regards
ak
