Everybody who filed their 485 form. You know that Green Card Lottery is open at this time. Can we still file the application while our AOS is in progress? Does anyone know the answer?

Have not heard anything yet, Seiko. As soon as it gets approved I let you know :-) I am praying for it everyday and my intuition says to me that the approve notice is on its way. :-) I keep being tuned:-)

i think yes as they received your petition before 11/01.

Seiko, That means that they started working on your case. You will not get any email notification unless the status of the case is changed. My case has a new date about 3 times before it finally got approved. That basically means they pulled out you...

Ive received my EAD and RFE for I-485. My documents have been mailed to INS. So all im waiting at this time is a final approval for gc. It's weird tough, my I-131 has not been reviewed yet. So I am waiting for it as well. You will get it soon Seiko.

Seiko did you get your EAD approved?

Seiko, my EAD card was mailed yesterday :-) (as you remember my PD was August 21) Thanks

Cool, thank you Suzanne. Then retrogression is nothing for them.

So, lets say you came and no problems. What will you do? After Nov 1, i think you cannot file I-485. And if the new quota did not pass, after 6 month, will you have to come back? Are you going to have work authorization meanwhile? Just wondering and...

Suzanne, I have applied for Advance Parole and hoping to have it soon. But i have heard some stories that even if you have AP you may be deported back home (it would be up to an immigration officer) I would like to visit my family this spring. But i ...

Everybody can still file I-140 after Nov 1, but no I-485. EAD is an optional petition only if I-485 is filing alone, or has been filed already. Filing I-140 does not allow you to stay in the country unless if you are on student or working visas, or d...

My petition was filed about 60 days ago. Suzanne, you mean that because i did not submit VS along with I-485, my EAD is not approved? Well it might be the case, but sometimes they dont even review I-485 and still approve I-765. Anyway, as I said they...

Seiko, I still did not get my EAD. Even my I-140 has been approved already. My I-485 has been reviewed and they need additional documents (VS) that i will send on Monday. My I-131 has been reviewed as well and they need something else also. But have ...

Dennise, I am not from Ukraine but from the former Soviet Union. So my native language is Russian. Suzanne is absolutely right. You will have to get a student visa and need to take an RN program to apply for green card. That is what i did. Believe m...

Seiko,

Why not. Nurses who put BS instead of BSN dont have their BS in Nursing, they just have BS. Same goes for MS and MSN. I am sure i can put BS next to RN, because BS means I have Bachelor's and I do.

Thank you, Suzanne. I also think that it is very risky.

I would be interested in this answer as well. My I-485 was filed Aug 2006. And for my family circumstances i need to relocate to different state. Where did you get the information abt 6 month?

I think you can find all the answers on this or some other sites. I would not spend a penny for a consultation. Immigration attorney will not say anything new about the retrogression. Everything is pretty clear. Also you may find a paralegal that ma...

Suzanne, you have BS and MBA Is your BS is BSN or just BS? and what is MBA? I am RN (ADN) and I have BS in Information Management. Can i put across my name RN, BS?

My all 4 petitions: 140, 485, 765, 131 were filed on Aug 17/2006. Got all 4 receipts on Aug 27. PD is Aug 21.

This November 2006 Visa Bulletin is something that was not really expected from my point of view. First I dont understand when is the cut-off day? There is no cut-off dayfor Schedule A because the I-140 petitions will be accepted even after November...

Suzanne, my I-140 was approved today :-) I am an adjustee. Is there anyway, my I-485 will be approved as well even if Schedule A is not current anymore?

Shiina, Did you get your ATT? It took for me three weeks to receive a letter from FL bon that i am elligible to take NCLEX-RN. Also that letter is your temp. grad nurse permit for 6 month from the date on the letter. The FL bon also submit ellectroni...
