I meant the Last Updated Date and not the case status . Sorry for the confusion
That means nothing. Regular mass updates. Don't keep false hopes.

hi,
I am unmarried son of citizens of usa and have my priority date current.I filed for I485 adjustment of status to permanent resident, which earlier got rejected,but then on refiling,I got a MSC receipt number saying next process is biometrics
My question is that as I am presently on student visa and my classes are starting from august 17th.Do I still need to maintain my student visa status and enroll in 12 minimum units,or is it ok If I don't enroll and just wait for my further case processing,and I won't be considered out of status as my I-485 adjustment of status is being processed?Is there still chance of my I-485 being denied(I don't have any criminal or any wrong record and maintained my status prior to filing my I-485 adjustment of status).Please guide whether to still enroll in 12 units and be on student visa or is it ok if I don't enroll as I no more want to pay high fees but,am worried about maintaining my status.

Can somebody help me on this one:
Regarding the receipt notice of I-485: which is the difference between the receipt date, receipt number and receipt notice.....from my understanding....the receipt date is when your I-485 application hits Uscis and the receipt notice is when the Uscis is really opening your package and looking at it?
Is it safe to travel( with valid H1b) knowing that your file hits the Uscis...or you have to wait for the receipt notice( now with so many filers for July, is it true that Uscis will send the receipt notice very late, maybe months, I mean later than the June filers.)?
Is it safe to travel after you file for I-485 and before getting the receipt notice....hoping that the receipt will come after you returned to U.S?
Thank you so much...I'm so confused about this receipt notice, I didn' find any law regarding this, that you can not travel witout receipt notice.

[UPDATE: You can see the FOIA'd documents here.] The AP's Suzanne Gamboa has a great article describing how a program billed as voluntary for communties turned out to be impossible to get out of once a city has enrolled. Gamboa has reviewed internal documents sought in a Freedom of Information Act request filed by the Benjamin Cardozo School of Law in New York, the National Day Labor Organizing Network and the Center for Constitutional Rights. ICE has opposed the release of the documents, but a New York judge ordered the information be released. Here are highlights from the AP piece:...

A kind reader sent me a link to a new Business Week article that discusses a fast emerging trend in American business schools - taking jobs in Asia rather than in the US. One of the biggest targets - young Asian immigrant students in the US being lured back home: How much longer can the Asian allure hold? With protectionist talk rising in America, and China trying to put the brakes on its rapidly growing economy, there's always a chance that Asia could stumble. There's also rising concern about what the migration East might mean for the U.S.'s competitive edge....

No replies. So dropping idea of getting Business Credit Cards - perhaps it is not important at this stage.
Yes, I did get a business checkin card. Credit card, I guess, I can get only when the EIN number develops some history. Do you already have a business checking card?

Hi for IRS n Tax purposes you are a resident alien (even though you may be a non-immigrant h1b or using EAD) that is different.
This form is not applicable to you. Tell the credit union that you are resident alien and then they will understand.
No need to fill this form.
Instead you need to apply for TIN (Tax Payer Identification Number) Form W-9 for your wife and get a TIN and use that TIN while adding as a dependent.
You can either file the TIN yourself or go to HnR block or some other service. Usually they file for TIN while filing tax return...

Approaching a senator is always okay. You don't have to prove that you are a taxpayer to get a senator's help. It may or may not help but it definitely is still worth a try. Note that if the senator provides some help and the wife and child visits for graduation day the visa status applications should most probably be for B1's (visitors).

From Tying It All Together: Learn about the Legislative Process (http://www.house.gov/house/Tying_it_all.shtml).
The chief function of Congress is the making of laws. The legislative process comprises a number of steps. A very brief overview of the legislative process within the House of Representatives is presented below. There are many aspects and variations of the process which are not addressed here. A much more in-depth discussion and presentation of the overall process is available in How Our Laws Are Made (http://thomas.loc.gov/home/lawsmade.toc.html). Most of the information presented below was excerpted from that Congressional document.
Forms of Congressional Action
The work of Congress is initiated by the introduction of a proposal in one of four principal forms: the bill, the joint resolution, the concurrent resolution, and the simple resolution.
Bills
A bill is the form used for most legislation, whether permanent or temporary, general or special, public or private. A bill originating in the House of Representatives is designated by the letters "H.R.", signifying "House of Representatives", followed by a number that it retains throughout all its parliamentary stages. Bills are presented to the President for action when approved in identical form by both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Joint Resolutions
Joint resolutions may originate either in the House of Representatives or in the Senate. There is little practical difference between a bill and a joint resolution. Both are subject to the same procedure, except for a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution. On approval of such a resolution by two-thirds of both the House and Senate, it is sent directly to the Administrator of General Services for submission to the individual states for ratification. It is not presented to the President for approval. A joint resolution originating in the House of Representatives is designated "H.J.Res." followed by its individual number. Joint resolutions become law in the same manner as bills.
Concurrent Resolutions
Matters affecting the operations of both the House of Representatives and Senate are usually initiated by means of concurrent resolutions. A concurrent resolution originating in the House of Representatives is designated "H.Con.Res." followed by its individual number. On approval by both the House of Representatives and Senate, they are signed by the Clerk of the House and the Secretary of the Senate. They are not presented to the President for action.
Simple Resolutions
A matter concerning the operation of either the House of Representatives or Senate alone is initiated by a simple resolution. A resolution affecting the House of Representatives is designated "H.Res." followed by its number. They are not presented to the President for action.
For more information on bills and resolutions see Forms of Congressional Action (http://thomas.loc.gov/home/lawsmade.bysec/formsofaction.html) in How Our Laws Are Made.
Introduction and Referral to Committee
Any Member in the House of Representatives may introduce a bill at any time while the House is in session by simply placing it in the "hopper" provided for the purpose at the side of the Clerk's desk in the House Chamber. The sponsor's signature must appear on the bill. A public bill may have an unlimited number of co-sponsoring Members. The bill is assigned its legislative number by the Clerk and referred to the appropriate committee by the Speaker, with the assistance of the Parliamentarian. The bill is then printed in its introduced form, which you can read in Bill Text (http://thomas.loc.gov/home/c110query.html). If a bill was introduced today, summary information about it can be found in Bill Status Today (http://thomas.loc.gov/bss/d110query.html).
An important phase of the legislative process is the action taken by committees. It is during committee action that the most intense consideration is given to the proposed measures; this is also the time when the people are given their opportunity to be heard. Each piece of legislation is referred to the committee that has jurisdiction over the area affected by the measure.
For more information on this step of the legislative process see Introduction and Reference to Committee (http://thomas.loc.gov/home/lawsmade.bysec/introtocomm.html) of How Our Laws Are Made.
Consideration by Committee
Public Hearings and Markup Sessions
Usually the first step in this process is a public hearing, where the committee members hear witnesses representing various viewpoints on the measure. Each committee makes public the date, place and subject of any hearing it conducts. The Committee Meetings (http://www.house.gov/daily/comlist.html) scheduled for today are available along with other House Schedules (http://www.house.gov/house/floor/thisweek.htm). Public announcements are also published in the Daily Digest portion of the Congressional Record (http://thomas.loc.gov/home/r110query.html).
A transcript of the testimony taken at a hearing is made available for inspection in the committee office, and frequently the complete transcript is printed and distributed by the committee.
After hearings are completed, the bill is considered in a session that is popularly known as the "mark-up" session. Members of the committee study the viewpoints presented in detail. Amendments may be offered to the bill, and the committee members vote to accept or reject these changes.
This process can take place at either the subcommittee level or the full committee level, or at both. Hearings and markup sessions are status steps noted in the Legislative Action portion of Bill Status (http://thomas.loc.gov/bss/d110query.html).
Committee Action
At the conclusion of deliberation, a vote of committee or subcommittee Members is taken to determine what action to take on the measure. It can be reported, with or without amendment, or tabled, which means no further action on it will occur. If the committee has approved extensive amendments, they may decide to report a new bill incorporating all the amendments. This is known as a "clean bill," which will have a new number. Votes in committee can be found in Committee Votes.
If the committee votes to report a bill, the Committee Report (http://thomas.loc.gov/cp110/cp110query.html) is written. This report describes the purpose and scope of the measure and the reasons for recommended approval. House Report numbers are prefixed with "H.Rpt." and then a number indicating the Congress (currently 107).
For more information on bills and resolutions see Consideration by Committee (http://thomas.loc.gov/home/lawsmade.bysec/considbycomm.html) in How Our Laws Are Made.
House Floor Consideration
Consideration of a measure by the full House can be a simple or very complex operation. In general a measure is ready for consideration by the full House after it has been reported by a committee. Under certain circumstances, it may be brought to the Floor directly.
The consideration of a measure may be governed by a "rule." A rule is itself a simple resolution, which must be passed by the House, that sets out the particulars of debate for a specific bill�how much time will allowed for debate, whether amendments can be offered, and other matters.
Debate time for a measure is normally divided between proponents and opponents. Each side yields time to those Members who wish to speak on the bill. When amendments are offered, these are also debated and voted upon. If the House is in session today, you can see a summary of Current House Floor Proceedings (http://clerk.house.gov/floorsummary/floor.html).
After all debate is concluded and amendments decided upon, the House is ready to vote on final passage. In some cases, a vote to "recommit" the bill to committee is requested. This is usually an effort by opponents to change some portion or table the measure. If the attempt to recommit fails, a vote on final passage is ordered.
Resolving Differences
After a measure passes in the House, it goes to the Senate for consideration. A bill must pass both bodies in the same form before it can be presented to the President for signature into law.
If the Senate changes the language of the measure, it must return to the House for concurrence or additional changes. This back-and-forth negotiation may occur on the House floor, with the House accepting or rejecting Senate amendments or complete Senate text. Often a conference committee will be appointed with both House and Senate members. This group will resolve the differences in committee and report the identical measure back to both bodies for a vote. Conference committees also issue reports outlining the final version of the bill.
Final Step
Votes on final passage, as well as all other votes in the House, may be taken by the electronic voting system which registers each individual Member's response. These votes are referred to as Yea/Nay votes or recorded votes, and are available in House Votes by Bill number, roll call vote number or words describing the reason for the vote.
Votes in the House may also be by voice vote, and no record of individual responses is available.
After a measure has been passed in identical form by both the House and Senate, it is considered "enrolled." It is sent to the President who may sign the measure into law, veto it and return it to Congress, let it become law without signature, or at the end of a session, pocket-veto it.
