I believe they would process the application within 15 days. It doesnt necessarily have to be an approval or denial, they can even send a RFE.
Once you respond to the RFE, its not necessary that they have to process your case with in 15 days.
TRUE.
It is 15 days (not business) including week ends.
Here are some hidden facts:
* 15 days window DOES NOT start from the day USCIS receives application.
* 15 days window DOES NOT start from the day USCIS sends a NOTIFICATION (Yes !!!)
* 15 days window starts ONLY when you see an LUD change with a description "Request for Premimum Processing" updated in USCIS system.
* When there is an RFE, the 15 days window clock STOPS.
while( case != approved && case != denied )
{
* RFE is issued
***** 15 days clock now is reset to 0 *****
* 15 days window DOES NOT start from the day USCIS receives RFE Response.
* 15 days window DOES NOT start from the day case status says "RFE Response received".
* 15 days window starts ONLY when you see an LUD change with a description "Case Resumed" updated in USCIS system.

Gurus,
My employer and lawyer won't give me the Receipt notice of my I-485 which we filed on July 2nd. My employer did not let me file my EAD/AP as well.
Do I have any way of filing EAD/AP on my own without a copy of the receipt notice(after it is generated and sent to the lawyer)?
Someone told me that Fingerprinting notice that we get looks just like I-485 receipt notice and has all the information in there. Can we use a copy of that notice in place of I-485 RN?
The application instructions for I-765 mention that we need to submit "I-485 receipt notice OR any other proof that I-485 is pending"
Any one?

I would recommend you all do the same.
Hoping he reads at-least one of our letters and show some mercy + change!

The big Brand Law firms want to charge more than 3000$ for this.
But the small ones are willing to do this at less than half of that.
So i guess i will go with the smaller onces

I am kind of in the same situation...But, I don't know if the status means what it says.
But, I got the status change in Jul 2008 saying that
'the post office returned the notice we last sent you on this case I-485 application to register permanent residence or to adjust status as undeliverable. This may have serious effects on processing this case....'
The very next day I got this case status change saying that..
'We mailed document to the address we have on file, You should receive the new document within 30 days.....'
I took an InfoPass appointment and explained to them the case status emails. I also told them that I didn't get my biometrics notice. They asked me if priority date is current..I said NO and they verified too. So, they took the "document mailed" as the biometrics notice document and took my biometrics. I never bothered about that since then....
But, with new system change it shows as 'Document Processing & Oath ceremony'. So I am not sure what the original case status changes emails were about...and take the status 'Document processing and Oath ceremony' seriously.
Thanks in advance.

It is true that immigration is not at all reason for unemployment. When unemployment increases that will decrease immigration to some extent. We could see that in h1b numbers and also illegal immigration. But future immigration will depend on how fast jobs are created when recovery starts.
From Business Week: A report released on Tuesday makes the case that increased immigration is not a cause of increased unemployment in the U.S. The study, �The Unemployment Disconnect: Untying the Knot,� was issued by the Immigration Policy Center, the research arm of the American Immigration Law Foundation, an association of immigration lawyers that generally supports pro-immigration policies. The study sets out with the assertion that if immigrants are taking jobs away from native-born workers, �one would expect to find high unemployment rates in those parts of the country with large numbers of immigrants.� Examining state, county, and metropolitan area...

In some similar cases, filing a petition for mandamus in federal court has been effective. HOWEVER, this strategy is not without risk, and you should consult with an immigration attorney with specific experience dealing with 212(a)(3)(B) "hold" cases before proceeding.

Hello friends,
wanted to see the timeline of EAD renewals currently..I have a EAD renewal receipt notice date of June 18th......was wondering how many days is TX taking to approve the notice....
Did aanyone around June 15 -June 20th get any approval yet?
My wife's EAD renewal receipt notice date is June 19th - close to yours. Also at TX.
Lets keep each other informed on any developments.
As per USCIS website, the processing time at TX service center is 3 months for EAD.
I hope its sooner!

I am on EAD. my priority date is Oct 2003 EB3.
I got new job that requires security clearance, so applied and got preliminary security clearance and started working as a contractor at Federal worksite.
Now i got letter from Department of homeland security saying i am not allowed to work at Federal worksite because my Adjustment of status is pending from Aug 2007, also saying Contact USCIS to get resolved or provide evidence i am in touch base with USCIS regards to this matter.
Since my priority date is not current, USCIS is not going to anything.
While applying this job i gave my EAD copy. They accepted Now i do know why i got this letter ?
IS there any one had same kind of situation?
Where or whom should I need communicate at USCIS? do they give any letter?
Thanks
Federal assignments are primarily meant for citizens and then in some cases for GC holders. It is impossible for a EAD holder or H1-Bs to join a Fed assignment. I know cases of my friends who have GC and still did not get security clearance from DHS. They moved out of the assignments and moved on in life and career.

agiridhar,
I was sarcastic, if you didn't get it. INS/government always had monopoly over giving out of GCs(the constitution guarantees it for them). They never had competition about it. You're kidding yourself to think that you can sue them on anti-trust laws. Some other laws may be but definitely not anti-trust laws.

Silicon Valley Immigration Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
An earlier blog post "Silicon Valley Employers Need to Prepare for Surprise USCIS Visits" (http://www.siliconvalleyimmigrationlawyer.com/2009/10/silicon-valley-employers-need.html#more) described the "new normal" of USCIS employees or contractors showing up unexpectedly and inquiring about past visa petitions and foreign national workers. A recently held Department of Homeland Security program, titled, "2009 Government and Employers: Working Together to Ensure a Legal Workforce" sheds more light onto the types of visits being conducted.
Ronald Atkinson, Chief of Staff of USCIS' Fraud Detection and National Security (FDNS) (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=0353f8e5492ec110VgnVCM1000004718190aRCR D&vgnextchannel=2af29c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD) office, explained the three types of site visits that are currently being conducted:
Risk Assessment Program fraud study. Applicable to any type of benefit program, including family and employment-based visas, this study is part of a joint program between USCIS and ICE (Immigration Customs and Enforcement). Applications and petitions are chosen at random, usually on a post-approval basis, for visits to help in designing profiles of potential fraud.
Targeted site visits. These visits take place where fraud is suspected, and consist of a visit to ask questions. Advance notice, including notice to counsel, is supposed to be provided.
Administrative site visits. These relate to religious worker and H-1B petitions (http://www.geelaw.com/lawyer-attorney-1054805.html). They generally are conducted by contractors who know nothing of immigration law. Religious worker visits are performed under the regulations for that category. For H-1B site visits, the contractors have been equipped with a set of specific questions, and all employers/beneficiaries should be asked pretty much the same questions, primarily reaching the issues of whether there's really an employer there, whether the employer knows it filed the petition, and whether the beneficiary is doing the work and receiving the wage indicated on the petition. H-1B visits are done on a post-adjudication basis, and are randomly selected. Each employer should receive only one such visit, but may receive different visits for different sites.

After interacting with a lot of people who have benefiitted a lot from IV but have taken IV for granted, I personally feel that these people must know certain things LOUD and CLEAR
Nothing comes for free, and remember such a concept of Grassroots organization has never sprung up.
IV is full of Good Samaritans - yes highly skilled but not selfish - IV stands for peace, unity and has helped you all when you needed IV the most.
IV HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL ONLY BECAUSE OF ITS PEOPLE. BEING A GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATION, IV COMPRISES OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND ME.
YES - TOGETHER WE CAN ALL MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE
WE WANT EVERYONE TO COMPLIMENT THE EFFORTS THESE GREAT IV HHEROES ARE DOING FOR US - AND YES - YOU CAN ALSO BE ONE - IT IS THERE IN YOUR MIND - CLEAN YOURSELF FROM SELFISH THOUGHTS AND YES - YOU WILL MAKE IT
TAKE A LOOK AT THE TODDLERS THAT ARE ACCOMPANYING THEIR PARENTS - THESE PEOPLE CARE FOR THEIR CHILDREN - THEY WANT THEIR CHILDREN TO GROWN IN A BETTER WORLD - THEY DO NOT WANT TO TEACH CHILDREN SELFISHNESS - BUT UNITY AND LOVE.
YES - YOU MUST ALL LOVE IV FOR WHATEVER IB HAS DONE FOR YOU.
LETS ALL SHOW SUPPORT TO IV BY COMING TO DC AND MAKING IT TO THE RALLY.
IT IS STILL NOT TOO LATE TO DECIDE - DECIDE NOW AND DONT DROP THE PLANS
COME ON FOLKS - THIS IS YOUR ORGANIZATION - YOU HAVE TO NURTURE IT AND CARRY IT
SHOW YOUR SUPPORT TO YOUR BRETHREN - WHO ARE WORKING SLEEPLESS NIGHTS TO FIX YOUR PROBLEMS

This is a very sad message this morning I got to read from my inbox. I am not bothered about losing the pledge, but I am shocked to see only 88 members pledged. The sadest part is that this pledge is created by a US Citizen for IV.
IV Members 6000+
Retrogressed members 350,000+
Why only 88 pledged? Many people wants free ride which they cannot get if they dont want to unite for the common cause. I know most of the H1b holders are paid well and spend a lot. But when it comes to donate, they feel $1 equivalent to $1000. The reason is they feel they are not getting anything in return which is not true and they feel they are smart to get a free ride when others donate.
If you dont unite for the common cause, everyone including is going to struggle to get what you want. But at least the donated members will feel good about trying their best.
*************** EMAIL FROM PLEDGEBANK *****************
We are sorry to have to inform you that the pledge to which you
signed up did not meet its target in the required time. It
required 1000 other people, but achieved only 88.
The pledge, created by Randall Emery, read: 'I will donate $10
monthly to Immigration Voice for one year but only if 1,000
other people will too.'
This means you don't have to do your part of the pledge.
Instead, why not sign up to local alerts at
