My wife when she went to india did the same. Means Submitted all the i-94 including the one which was with the 797.
While returning from india she did not get the i-94 upto the 797 approval date, she got it upto the Visa expiry date.
When i went to the Border Security Officer mentioned that the i-94 which you receive with 797 is for your reference, you are not supposed to give it to anybody.
I had to apply for the extension because i did't have any proof with me for my wife on the i-94.
I submitted all my I-94s including that on the 797. If you notice closely, they all have the same number on the top left corner. By issuing an I-94 with the 797, USCIS confirms that your original I-94 that you received at the POE has been extended. They are not valid after you leave the country as you get a new I-94 with a new number. You can go to an USCIS office and get your wife's I-94 corrected to the 797 date.
:D

Validation Error(s)
You must correct the following error(s) before proceeding:
* Case Status Retrieval Failed
* This Receipt Number cannot be found at this time in this automated system. Please check your case receipt number to see if it is correct. If you have questions or concerns about your case status, please contact the National Customer Service Center.
I have been getting the above message when I try to get a case status online for my I-140.
I filed concurrently for I-140, I-485 with EAD and AP on Aug 15th at TSC (EB3) and received receipt notices on 10/14/07 for all of the above applications. I also can get case status online successfully for the other 3 applications.
My attorney contacted USCIS (as they said that I cannot inquire on the I-140 and that it can only be the employer or the attorney) and they (USCIS) said they can see my case on their system but don't know why I cannot.
Is anybody in the same boat as I am? Should I be worried that I cannot get online status even after 8 weeks from the time the reciept notices were issued? Any advice/input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

When you filed for your 485's did you check the column and mentioned each other as dependents and mentioned each other's A#'s? If not each of your applications would be processed separately. When you replied to your RFE you should have written a letter to them about your husband's case.
Should we wait until my PD becomes current, to try to link our aplications? Is that necessary? Is there any danger that my husband's 485 application might get lost if USCIS denies our request to link his case to mine now since my PD is not current?
Don't know if this matters, but just this week, I got a RFE for employment verification. We have now sent necessary documents as requested by the dept.

My attorney said e-notice is fine and applied.
but in enotice it is written
Please note that this e-mail message is being sent as a
courtesy and cannot be used as evidence of nonimmigrant
status. Nor can this message be used as evidence to procure
an immigrant visa
I am worried if my packages comes back after aug 17?
My lawyer refused to file with the e-pproval and I agree with him. Why take a risk with such an important matter. If you're approved, you should get your approval notice in a couple of weeks at the most. File your 485 after that.

Gurus,
my and my wife received a denial letter from USCIS regarding our I-485 applications. My I-140 was approved on November 08'.
the weird thing is that I did not get an RFE of any kind... so, we decided to submit an MTR because:
1. the grounds for denial are wrong: no RFE on Medical and my case falls under visa gate - USCIS publication of July 23, 2007 states that USCIS will submitt an RFE on this matter.
2. denial over birth certificate??? anyway, it was submitted originally and USCIS just lost it in the process anyway no RFE on that either.
3. taken literally from the letter of denial "EVIDENCE OF EVIDENCE OF ELIGIBILITY MAINTANCE " I believe that is my I-94 -which we had submitted and the visa bulletin on june 2007 giving me the green light for I-140 and I-485.
so, we submitted an MTR based on this documents and I got the receipt date as March 17.
any thoughts and comments will be apreciated.
thanks,

DHS was looking for someone with deportation order of Walawala's place, which the person wasn't there, never lived there, never existed there. Walawala and his wife have valid H1 and H4 status. They looked at their document and with face that look cynical said that Walawala and his wife are 'ONLY' worker that come to this country and threathened they could have done something to harm their status. 'ONLY' Worker that come to this country, what do you guys think?

Cons
2.Now all counties will be backloged instead of just I and C. ( Misery loves company)
Just because you framed this in a -ve sentence does not make it a con. removing country limits is a civil rights victory.

Is there any way IV can take up the NSC I140 processing times with USCIS???
Why is there a huge discrepancy between TSC and NSC wrt I140
Also the processing times NSC publsihes are not right.
for eg: My EB2 is pending from Dec 2006 and the latest update is Feb 2007.
i know there are a lot of people like me.
Thanks

Some people have said that employers will never agree to employee hiring their own lawyers if they are already having a company retained lawyer that they are using for all employees.
While employers who tend to provide free lawyers with the intention of controlling and stalling your immigration process will not agree with the idea of you having your own lawyer there is a possible way out.
For this, there are 2 solutions:
1. If you are already with this employer:
If you are already with the employer and represented by company's lawyer, then you need to change your lawyer. To do that, you need to negotiate this new arrangement at the time when your employer is most vulnerable and most amenable to bend to your terms. If you pick up the phone one fine morning and start arguing with your employer for changing your lawyer, that wont work.
You need to get your employer for negotiating tough things when you have just signed up for a new project. There is a very brief window of opportunity in consulting business when the individual has most bargaining power and the employer has the least. The time period between the contract (corp to corp or direct contract) getting signed between parties for a project and the time you report to the project physically. This short window of time, for 2-3 days (or maybe a week) is the time, when your employer cannot afford to dissolve the contract and fire your or let you go on your own way. HE WOULD THEREFORE NEGOTIATE with you about changing to a new lawyer who doesnt have conflict of interest. If he doesnt negotiate with you, then he risks losing the project, losing the reputation with client or preferred vendor (the middle party who is more close to client) as well as all future business opportunities. That is a loss no businessman (desi or American) can tolerate. So even his daddy will come on negotiation table and agree to your terms, whether its getting a new conflict-of-interest-free lawyer or getting a raise or getting moving expenses etc. USE THAT OPPORTUNITY.
2. If you plan on joining an untrustworthy employer in future:
When joining a new employer, if you have the luxury of joining and picking your employer before you quit your current job, then sure, ask them for all the terms, including your own independent lawyer, otherwise tell them "No deal". If you are a good hire for them, they will agree to terms. But you need to do that BEFORE you even transfer your H1. So that that record is straight from the get-go.
