My spouse is out of country and she cannot comeback immediately since we are waiting for my H1 extension approval. Taking visa appointment days and airline availability in to consideration, she may not be able to make it back before end of july. I heard you can always add spouse later while 485 is still in progress. What are the implications if I go this path ?

I received an email from USCIS on my I-485 - 08/03/09.
It said "Card Production Ordered"
How long does it actually take to receive the green card by mail after this message?

SKIL provisions were included in S.2611 by the way of adopting manager's ammendment.
Therefore the official death of the CIR bill was crucial for the fate of the SKIL bill, as it couldn't be picked up by the Senate as long as the CIR was pending with the House.

Pelosi vows more civil approach � next year (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1207/7335.html) By Jim VandeHei and John F. Harris | The Politico, Dec 12, 2007
Across the ideological spectrum, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has dashed expectations.
On the right, the hope was that Pelosi would be the tallest lightning rod in Washington � playing to type as a �San Francisco liberal� and handing the Republican minority all manner of ideological openings to exploit. For the most part, that has not happened.
On the left, the hope was that Pelosi would lead the newly empowered Democrats to hijack President Bush�s agenda on the issue that matters most to party activists � ending the Iraq war.
To Pelosi�s regret, that has not happened either.
Appraisals of Pelosi�s first year revolve around these fallen hopes and come with still another surprise: For all her history-making status as the first woman to run the House, Pelosi has emerged as a fairly conventional leader.
This is partly to her credit.
She has run a highly disciplined operation, keeping a potentially fractious caucus unified on tough issues.
And she has restrained some of her own instincts representing one of the nation�s most liberal districts.
With a couple of prominent exceptions, she has not handed Republicans opportunities to exploit impolitic statements or legislative maneuvers.
But conventionality has come at a steep cost.
Few members of either party, when speaking privately, argue that what Congress needs most is a change of party with a continuation of the highly partisan status quo.
In many ways, that�s what Pelosi represents.
Democrats bridled at being marginalized under 12 years of Republican rule, but Pelosi has treated turnabout as fair play.
Bending a promise made to voters in the last election, the speaker has shut Republicans out of many debates by limiting their ability to offer alternative ideas on the House floor and made only modest attempts to engage Republicans on many issues, notably Iraq.
This represents a probably accurate calculation about what�s necessary to keep her own party cohesive.
But polarized government has also thwarted some of Pelosi�s own objectives.
The first of those is forcing Bush to end the war. �All of the good things that we did, which were, I mean, astounding � are eclipsed by the war in Iraq,� she said in a Politico interview.
She added that she has been surprised by Democrats� inability to peel off GOP dissenters.
�If I had to say one thing that I would have appraised differently � it would have been that I would not have expected the Republicans in Congress to stick with the president on this war this long,� she said. �Not from their personal statements to us privately or the public mood in their own districts.�
The inability to resolve the Iraq debate or tackle the other most pressing issues is one reason the number of people saying they disapprove of the performance of Congress � at 70 percent in some recent surveys � has risen 15 to 20 points or more since the start of the year.
Pelosi acknowledged she and her leadership team could have done better at managing expectations.
�Maybe we should have been thinking about how we were communicating with the public more,� she said. �Maybe I should have from the start just established what we were doing instead of having to be responsive to the press about �somebody said this, they thought you were doing that,� because this place is a total rumor mill.�
Even so, Pelosi made clear that she is fine with drawing sharp, partisan lines when necessary.
�I certainly want my speakership to be distinguished by a level of civility and bipartisanship when that�s possible,� she said. �That is what I hope to do in this next year, I really do.�
But as for this year? �I had a job to get done this year,� she said. �I had a decision to make; I had to remove obstacles to getting a job done.�
She got it done, at times.
Early in the session, Democrats moved their �six for �06� package promised in the previous election. That included raising the minimum wage, enacting homeland security upgrades and reducing student loan rates.
They also helped their members by pushing for more spending on children�s health care, a political no-brainer for many members, and demanding that Congress offset the cost of new spending with spending cuts or revenue increases elsewhere.
Along the way, the elegantly styled speaker, a grandmother of seven, proved herself a steel magnolia � a self-confident leader who projected strength in a way that caused powerful subordinates to defer to her.
Even Vice President Cheney complimented (in a distinctly backhanded way) her leadership, noting he was surprised that such old Democratic bulls of the House as Reps. John P. Murtha of Pennsylvania and John Dingell of Michigan seem to follow her lead.
�They are not carrying the big sticks I would have expected,� Cheney told Politico.
�There�s a woman who runs that place with an iron hand,� Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told Politico in an interview. �I am sure that some people are a little disappointed [that] this diminutive, very attractive woman is bowling people over � men and women.�
Pelosi has succeeded in part by having her own team of old bulls, such as Rep. George Miller of California, and younger bulls, such as Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, on her team.
What is sometimes called a weakness � a penchant for micromanaging, for instance � has helped tighten her grip and enhance her standing.
She has muffed up on a few high-profile occasions. A trip to Syria earlier this year was ridiculed by Republicans as clumsy, freelance diplomacy.
She was forced by her Democratic colleagues to quit pushing for the Armenian genocide resolution because it was clearly complicating U.S. relations with Turkey.
The final verdict on her handling of the Iraq debate awaits the year ahead � whether Democrats can either force a change in policy or make Republicans pay a heavy price in the 2008 elections.
For now, the best grade Pelosi can get is incomplete: Democrats have had no substantive success in changing policy.
One what-if echoes. Some members say Democrats missed a golden opportunity early in the summer to find compromise and split Republicans from Bush, laying the groundwork for limits on the military operation.
Pelosi instead pursued an unyielding approach that turned off even the war skeptics inside the GOP.
In a sign of the pressures Pelosi is under, however, it is the anti-war liberals in her own party who offer the harshest assessment of the Pelosi reign so far.
�When you look back at this year, it will be defined as the year of lost opportunities,� said Ohio Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich, a long-shot presidential candidate. �This was the time to use the power of the majority to chart a new direction. So far it�s been � not only a missed opportunity but a failure.�
California Rep. Lynn Woolsey added: �I personally don�t think [the strategy] worked. As a result, everything we�ve done on student loans, minimum wage, the six in �06 agenda gets lost.�
By one standard, however, Pelosi can look back on 2007 as a clear success. Her party is as well-organized, and her own position within it more secure, at year�s end compared with year�s start.
�I am not going to let one issue blow up this caucus,� she said. �We always strive for unity.�

Sorry for the cross posting.
My papers were sent on June 21st, but they were receipted only on June 27th. Turns out USCIS returned my $1000 for premium processing :(.
My lawyer said they talked to USCIS and USCIS asked them to re-file with proof of receipt.
Did anyone who filed in end June have their 140 premium processing returned?

I have MS+2 yrs of experience(software engineer). The company i am thinking to join is in Boston.
I am guessing boston is a highly educated town with many young graduates roaming around. Having said that, will this be an issue while we send out an ad for MS+2 yrs as there might be several responses to the ad and refuting all of them would be difficult ?
Please let me know, if I am THINKING CRAZY or this is TRUE. Another option i have is a company in chicago. Not sure where will I be better off as far as GC is concerned.
Also, anybody heard of MONIQUE KORNFELD immigration attorney based out of Newton, Massachussets ??? If so, please let me know about her expertise. I JUST can't find out how many yrs she has been practising immigration.
Thanks

Hi Guys,
Some time ago I posted a message asking you guys to contact me via a private email if you needed a good attorney. Today I realized I had a lot of private messages. I just changed my profile so you can e-mail me directly.l
The attorney has a small office, working along without paralegals. She is very nice as a professional and a person. She is not money-driven. If you need her contact, please contact me via a private e-mail or message.
Regards,

Hi,
I have the a situation where I need some advice:
I got my first job in june 2005 and was on my OPT until dec 2005. My H1-B was filed by this company and it started from Jan 1, 2006. Now I left the company in Sept 8 2006 and joined a consulting (vendor) firm. I am a contractor at Microsoft through this firm. This firm filed my H1-B on Sept 9, 2006. Now, 2 weeks back, when I checked the status of my case, I saw USCIS sent an RFE requesting more documents from my firm regarding the contract and type of job description. They gave a deadline until feb 2007 to submit docs.
My first initial contract length at Microsoft through this firm is until April 2007, but is more likely to extend for another 6 months.
Now my question is, since I cannot be sure if the contract will extend, I am starting to look for jobs...If I get a job, will it be alright to accept it and have that new company file my H1-B even though my current H1-B from my current firm is still in process and not approved yet?

Hi All,
I have attended visa interview at US Consulate in Hyderabad for Blanket L1B.
I have answered everything very clearly and to the point. But, the VO told me that there will be some more information needed and she directed me to another counter.
There a guy gave me a form, I have filled my name, father's name, mother's name, education details, and employment history. Then I was issued a receipt, stating the Administrative Processing will be carried out.
How long will it take for this process?:confused:
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
