People applying for tourist visas for the United States in Qatar have greater chance of accessing them than in any other GCC country. Figures released by the US Administration suggest that only 3.2 percent requests for US tourist visas made to the US embassy in Doha were turned down in the FY 2010.
A US government website citing tourist visa (B-Visas) refusal details country-wise said the data were preliminary through September 30, 2010. As for Qatar, the data show this was the lowest percentage of tourist visa refusal in the entire GCC region. The next Gulf state with a lower percentage of rejection was Kuwait (3.6 percent). Bahrain ranked third with a 4.1 percent rejection rate while the percentage for the largest GCC state Saudi Arabia was six.
As for Oman and the UAE, the percentages were higher-8.7 and 9.7, respectively. The GCC states ranked much above their peers in the Arab world like Egypt, Yemen, Sudan and even Iraq. The rate of B-visa rejection in these countries was more than 30 percent.
Somalia topped the list with a rejection rate of almost 70 percent followed by Djibouti (60.2 percent), Yemen (54.3 percent), Mauritania (49.7 percent) and Iraq (42.2 percent). It is interesting to note that the next Arab country after the GCC states with lower refusal percentage was Libya (14.3 percent). Morocco with a refusal rate of 15.5 percent and Tunisia with 15.6 percent rejection ranked next.
Among non-Arab Asian countries, China with a 13.3 percent rejection rate and India with double that percentage fared better than Pakistan (41.6 percent) and the Philippines (38 percent). Sri Lanka (28.6 percent) and Bangladesh (36.4 percent) were much better off as compared to Pakistan and the Philippines. US embassy officials were not immediately available for comment but it is understood that after Qatar Airways introduced flights to major US cities beginning June 2007, tourist visa requests from Qatari nationals as well as expatriates here have multiplied.

1) I got my EAD 3 months back. Also received my AP in Oct. Typically how long is the journey from EAD to actual GC?
There is no correlation between the two. GC is based on your priority date and nationality
2) When does the 180 day period for AC21 begin? The day I sent my 140/485 packet or the receipt date (behind the cashed check) of my 140/485 application?
The sending date has no significance. It should be the receipt date (sometimes notice date is 'better')
3) Now that I have my EAD, do I need to do anything at this point? I already have a SSN. Does the SSN change after getting EAD? Do I need to apply for I-9 or something?
If you are working on H1, nothing
4) Have people been successful with AC21? What if I want to move on to another role (different in responsibilities from my current role)? Can I still use AC21?
You may read all about AC21 here

PS: My company lawyers are very unfriendly and rude. So thanks for your help in advance.
If they are being paid for the services, they better give the services - Complain to HR

You should be able to work with any company provided they are ready to give you support when USCIS asks for an RFE about your employment status.
Also you have to make sure that your job fall in the same description that you have filed the 485 for.
Consult other informations/resources also.

H1, H4 (spouse) and H4 (kid) living happily.
File 485 and gets EAD/AP.
H1 doesn't use EAD.
H4 uses EAD and hence looses H4 status.
I-485 is denied.
Now, my understanding is that spouse has to go out of country and come back again on H4.
What about the kid?
When does the kid loose his/her H4 status? (When both mother and father use EAD)?

In the 485 filings for me and my wife, my divorce certificate for my previous marriage was put in my files but it should have been with my wife's file per 485 intruction because she is the derivative applicant. If USCIS can't find it in my wife's file, will USCIS look for it in my file since we filed together?
If this is not required as initial evidence then they will issue an RFE and then you can send the documents later.
To fix the problem, could we resubmit my wife's 485 now and withdraw the one just submitted even though we don't have the receipt for it yet? or should we wait until we get receipt for the one just submitted and then resubmit her 485 application when my PD become current again? or could we just submit the missing file after we get the receipt and my PD becomes current?
Don't resubmit your wife's application, wait for a receipt
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Hope this helps

An expert advice on this would be highly appreciated. Many thanks for your consideration.
- My H1 (I-94) is expiring on 1st week of Jun-2011.
- I am also actively looking to change my employer.
In this case, I am not able to decide on the following,
1. Can I go ahead and file H1 extension with my current employer 'A'?
2. If I happen to get another employer 'B' for H1 transfer, what are the implications if 'A' had already initiated the extension process?
I am very confused on whether to go ahead with my H1 extension. Any quick answer would be highly appreciated, as I am taking my decision (on applying for extension) based on this.
Thanks,
srikanth.

All,
Now that Aug is coming up, please post all the 485 LUDs that you have been seeing after 07/18/2008. This will help us getting the pattern, in case USCIS shall auto order the Card production.
no one is auto-ordering card production (whatever that means).
lets stick with vdlrao's thread to track Augusts approvals please. no need for another thread for teh same topic.

Almost 2 years ago I visited an attorney to talk about my I-130. I wasn't very inform at the time and I think the attorney took advantage of me. My mother had recently become a US citizen in 2007 when i visit this attorney. In 2005 my mother filed an I-130 for me so when she became a US citizen I thought I should visit an attorney to "upgrade my petition" since my mother was not longer a permanent resident but a US citizen.
The attorney filed a Form G-28 - Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Representative which claimed was the petition upgrade. Recently, this past Friday I received noticed that my I-130 has been approved.
Today, I try to contact someone in the attorney's office but all I get is the voice mail. To be honest I have no trust in this attorney but I already paid $850 for this attorney's service which in verbal agreement said to my mother would receive a discount for the next steps in my case. But this attorney has done nothing for me just file a G-28 so a noticed would be delivered to their office.
I would like to know if I decide to find another attorney is there a way I can receive my $850 back some how through the new attorney or with certain process?
Thanks!

1. An F2B petition can be converted and you will retain the original priority date as long as you do not marry before your father is granted citizenship.
2. You can and probably should pursue both family based and employment based permanent resident status simultaneously.

Hunton Immigration and Nationality Law Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The U.S. Department of State has confirmed that contractors on a pre-approved list (http://www.huntonfiles.com/files/webupload/Immigration_DOS_KCC_Approved_Auditor_List_Aug_2010 .pdf)at the Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) are now auditing approved nonimmigrant petitions -- including H-1B and L-1 petitions -- in order to verify that information contained in the petitions is correct. The audits are creating significant delays for petition-based visa applicants at embassies worldwide.
Auditors may make a "cold call" to the U.S. employer who filed the petition, asking about the company's activities, location, employees, shareholders, etc., and may also review the company's website or use Google Earth to confirm the existence of a facility in the location specified on the petition. Contractors may also ask employers about the beneficiaries of these petitions -- the foreign nationals whom the employer wishes to employ (or continue employing) in nonimmigrant status.
Following verification, the contractors will create new "base petitioner records" in the KCC's Petition Information Management Service (PIMS) database. Until KCC verifies the petitions and updates these records, no consular officer at a U.S. embassy abroad may issue a petition-based visa to an applicant. Consular officers are also instructed to question visa applicants further in order to determine if the beneficiary information in the updated PIMS record is correct and complete.
Any adverse information the KCC contractor learns during an audit call may lead to denial of a beneficiary's visa application, even based on a previously approved petition, and may also affect the approvability of future petitions. Therefore, a U.S. employer who receives such a call should contact immigration counsel prior to providing any information so that (a) the auditor's name and credentials can be compared against the approved list (http://www.huntonfiles.com/files/webupload/Immigration_DOS_KCC_Approved_Auditor_List_Aug_2010 .pdf); (b) counsel can be present on the call; (c) the employer can prepare adequately by reviewing the petition; and (d) the call can be documented appropriately.

Wait until she gets certificate of citizenship. You can send it next day. Waiting one or two days does not make any difference.

My wife had returned from India on Dec 2nd 2004 and her H4 stamp was valid till Jan 26th 2005 - Less than 2 months validity. She did not face any problem reentering. Infact we filed our extentions after she came back.
