No, Only a Green Card holder in a Legal Permanment Resident. All other Visa Holder or Pending AOS is not LRP yet, but that should not cause an issue with your loan application. They might ask additional documents to validate you status here, but should be okay.

I have these below queries on Green card processing
My Green card processing background
My labor and I140 are approved and have priority date of May 2006 under EB3 category.
The reason for these questions is that I am planning to change the company that I am working with.
Questions.
1. Can I port the priority date (March 2006) when applying for new green card with new employer.
2. If possible to port the priority date can I apply under EB2 category assuming all other criteria satisfy for EB2 category and use the same (May 2006) priority date.

Roll Call has an interesting analysis of this. Some Democrats believe that they have the votes and they can use immigration reform to brand their party as the true home for the country's Hispanic voters only if they leave the GOP out of the process. And most in the GOP will probably be fine with this except the small number that understand just how dangerous it is for the future of the GOP to be branded the anti-immigrant party.

The law requires that you report any and all change of address change within 10 days of the change.
You can choose to use the online tool and complete an electronic Form AR-11 and notify USCIS to update your address on most pending cases. However, if you choose to do it by paper, then AR-11 will not update your address on any applications or petitions pending with USCIS.
Hope this helps.

Current status L1A, exp 9/5/08 (family on L2)
Pending: I-140 EB1C, RD 3/5/07, still no news from Nebraska
Fact: My family members MUST travel to Europe this summer.
Fact: My extension I-129 for a renewed L1A must be submitted to USCIS no later than 6 weeks before 9/5/08.
Fact: I have L1A visa stamp and family have L2 visa stamps with expiration date 9/5/08 in our passports
Question:
How late is the latest my family members can enter US without encountering trouble at the border?
They need to be present in the US to submit the I-539 (extension of stay), but can it be submitted AFTER my I-129 or MUST they be submitted at the same time as an absolute rule?
Please advise.

This is a huge deal and immigration laws in dozens of states could be deemed to violate the Constitution. Arizona's 2007 law allows the state to revoke a company's business license if it is found to have employed illegally present immigrants and mandates all employers in the state use E-Verify. The law was upheld by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, but a similar law in Oklahoma was largely overturned by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.

I recently got my I797 approved (on Oct 19) but, the USCIS denied my extension of stay, and I need to go for stamping in Chennai (as per I797). My question:
1. Can I attend the interview in Canada/Hyderabad consulate instead of Chennai. Company attorney said that should be ok and filing I824 for change of consulate would take long.
In case you wanted to know more details about my case:
-Possess I797 from Employer A until Nov13, 2009.
-Filed for H1b extension with Employer B in Feb, denied in Jun15. payroll with Emp B Feb onwards.
-Re-filed for extn with Emp B in Aug4 finally approved on Oct19 but denied extn of stay.

1) I am in USA on H1B.
2) I have accepted an offer to join companyA in January '07. They have filed for the H1B transfer a few days back. And I have resigned from my current employer.
3) Now another companyB has agreed to acquire companyA, and they will close the deal in December '06. CompanyB will be issuing revised offer letters to new hires like myself soon.
So even when my H1B has been filed by CompanyA, it will cease to exist on my joining date (January '07).
My question is how is the H1B handled in such a case ?
Can an amendment be sent to the original application saying its for CompanyB, and not CompanyA. Or does CompanyB have to apply for a fresh H1B ?
General qn : When can I change the employer -- when the H1 papers reach INS or when the lawyers get the receipt notice from INS ?
They are setting up conference calls with the lawyers soon; I was wondering if I could get some inputs from the experts on the forum as well.

Can someone get GC’s without reaching the priority dates?
I don’t have much information but I heard the following by mouth. My friend told me that he came to know a person(Indian) who had got his GC without the priority date being current. His prior status was EAD. If it is real, is this a fluke case?
I know many people applied for I485 in 2005 Sep, and PD was also from that year, and got the EAD’s. So do they have priority of getting GC than people who had PD dates prior to 2005 but not filed for I485?
