From february 2004 (expiry date of i-94 card) until april 1994 it looks like you accrued unlawful presence. The unlawful presence stopped when you filed the 485.
The unlawful presence was wiped out when you left and re-entered usa (the 3 year bar didn't kick in because the unlawful presence was less then 180 days).
You will be fine.
Just be truthful that you filed 485 before; you had divorce and all the employers that you worked with. Only thing they can get you on is if you try to embelish or hide things even though they were forgiven when you left and re-entered.
UN from what I read he was out of status from Mar 2003 to Apr 2004. Pls correct me if I am wrong

Does one need to be on an F1 (students) visa to get an assistantship?? Can one work only on university campus while doing their assistantship?? If not where is one eligible to work on assistantship & what type of jobs are available?? My wife is planning to do her CPA on an H4 visa, can she work on assistantship while pursuing it??�Please respond.
She can do CPA on an H4 visa(its unfortunate that CPA is not considered an Advanced degree:( )Unfortunately cannot work on assisstantship while pursuing it. At the most to gain US work experience she can work on voluntary basis if any company/organisation is willing to offer her tht position in their acctg department.

From the following information:
1.Grant GC to all EB 2 / 3 class pimary applicants who have completed 8 years of continuous stay in the USA without any criminal record.
Personally, I do think the above bill you requested in the #1) is extremely difficult to work. It is because there was a bill proposed to the EB-2/EB-3 applicants to occupy the annual DV-lottery of 55,000 quota but it is NOT becomed a law yet. Now is April, 2011 and the DV-lottery results of this year will be announced soon online and the coming year of DV-lottery will be drawn again later during this coming Oct, 2011 but there is still NO hope to give those EB-2/EB-3 applicants into this DV-lottery quota. If this quota is occupied by EB-2/EB-3 applicants, less applicants will be in GC line.
Also, there is a proposed bill to allow foreign US accreditated universities' advanced graduates of STEM and with a US job offer to have GC but again it is NOT becomed a law yet. Also, your proposed EB-2/EB-3 applicants who have continuous stay of 8 years in US without criminal record to have GC may not fit the requirement of US needed because some of these EB-2/EB-3 applicants are NOT graduated in US universities and some of them are NOT in Science, Medicine, Engineering and Techology academic major which US society in demand.
Last time I have read some other online news or forum, it talks about there is guy who was graduated in a US university with double Master degree---one is M.Sc in computer science and the other is MBA and he still get stuck in getting his first new H-1B visa and later he decided to back home without choice. Yesterday I have read some other online news or forum, it talks about some people who graduated in US Ph.D or doctorate degree in Science/Engineering/Medicine cannot get the GC or some of them get stuck in his or her first new H-1B visa application (due to quota was full or from other reasons) or get stuck in the H-1B visa renewed. So without H-1B visa, how can they get into the EB line for GC?----They are all US graduates and have stayed in US for more than 6-8 years to study with social security card and drivers' licenses and without criminal record !!!!!!!!!!!!!
So you can see if your requested bill in #1) is working, so how about those who graduated in US university in Advanced degree of Science/Medicine/Engineering with US job offer or without H-1B visa?------They are US STEM graduates and have stayed in US with 6-8 years either study or work without criminal record (and with social security card and drivers' licenses)
Personally, I do believe since US demand Science/Medicine/Engineering (STEM) type people and also need the inflow of money to rescue the national debt, so why don't allow those US STEM type graduates get the GC and bring the money to immigrate to start up companies to create job opportunities and to buy houses. Then the non-STEM graduates who want to stay in US can also go into the second path of immigration such as bring money to set up companies to hire 3-6 persons for better economy. The DV-lottery can open to any US STEM graduates to enrol online by " first come, first get" basis and if once annual immigration quota of 55,000 is filled, those graduates need to wait for another year to enrol online for immigration. So every STEM or non-STEM graduates bring money to start companies in US creating job opportunities, paying taxes and bring inflow of money----better economy is growing up.
Moreover, those graduates will invite friends/relatives to visit US, increasing sales of both international and dosmetic airline tickets, hotel reservations, restaurant reservations and uplift the profits all kinds of retail businesses. Tourist visa fees will also add monetary income. Overall, inflow of money and jobs creation are dual powers to uplift the economy.
With inflow of money from immigration, there is NO government shutdown and there is NO hiking taxes needed for the existing US companies.
Also, in Australia, it allows foreign graduates who have stayed in Australia for over 5 years and without criminal record to get the GC automatically
One correction to all that was stated above....
Instead of allowing US STEM graduates to get GC based on US job offer it would be beneficial to instead allow US STEM graduates to apply and get H1B without any quota. Tht way they will get into the system and don't need to go back to home country. Giving GC to STEM graduates directly is wrong by law because it bypasses labour and 140 conditions which state that a company is willing to sponser GC for a person.

TOI, great. That is good because most Americans trust TOI for their daily news. Couldn't help with the sarcasm. :rolleyes:
Anyways, It seems I might be converting to this idea of flowers, after my previous opposition to the idea. The only flower or a plant I can think of is a Cactus, will that work?
I am talking about those three to five feet tall cactus plants, that prick you when you touch them.
My message will be:
"Dear USCIS, since the working conditions at USCIS are poor and you may not have resources to water all the flowers that you are receiving. I am sending you a cactus that is low maintenance.
xoxo :-)
Secret admirer"

Thanks deecha for your response , I am sorry that i was unable to frame the question properly.My question is traing period (July 1st 2004 to Aug 30th 2004 = 60 days) without pay on H1B is treated as Out Of Status??? Is this period(July 1st 2004 to Aug 30th 2004 = 60 days) counted towards 180 Days period (to be covered under 2445(K)) or not?
For a new H1B, a grace period of up to 60 days is allowed before you can start work after entering the country. However, you were already in H1 status and this was a transfer and If you did not get pay stubs for those 60 days, then unfortunately for you, my friend, you were out of status and this period would be counted towards it. There might be other mitigating circumstances you could use to qualify those 60 days as "work" for your employer. You will need to consult a good lawyer and be on good terms with your (ex ?) employer and have his co-operation. If you're in Michigan, I can recommend a good lawyer. PM me.
In my case (see above), I inadvertently left the country in '04, without realizing I may not be allowed back in (I did not even have AP) and I also got lucky on two counts i) My employers petition was approved in just 13 days (non-premium processing) ;and ii) I was able to get a visa stamp in home country without a visa interview (but that scheme was terminated the same month due to other consular concerns).

So, basically if I get a new I-94, am I in status again? Someone mentioned that you should be in status since your last arrival to the US. That was in 2004. So, i was under teh impression that I had to leave the country and return and things would be OK.
If you know, can you PM me any lawyer who you can help in this matter?
Yes when you leave the country you are in status again! for i-485 AOS, USCIS will look at your status since your LAST entry into the country

I was amazed by the some of the members who supported such inhumane treatment. People are giving all sorts of comparison stories of what would you do if intruder breaks in , etc. This is a simple case of humanity and nothing more. Yes, the person involved is illegal and probably some action should be taken against that. But some of you guys need to remember that you guys are legal now but it does not take much to lose one's status. A erroneous AOS denial, losing a job. A pregnant woman who is in labor pain and about to deliver is not going to run away that you need to restrain her in shackles , especially when she has established a life here and also excited about the new born. You guys need to ask your mother, wife and sister about this story and get their opinion.
Yes the lady's crime should not go unpunished. But this country has all sorts of laws like racial discrimination, religious discrimination, age discrimination and the list goes on. And these laws are there for a reason. Reason: All these things DO happen.

since that is important i have replied to you in pm. i wish that everyone could read once and for all but i will hold myself to not posting the reply on this thread.
i believe you still do not understand the system. please read your pm.
paskal, you are making up things here that that priorities are Eb1->Eb2->Eb3
Eb1->Eb2->Eb3 is correct only from education and experience for the Job point of view but not true from Quota point of view all get 33.33per year.
�The argument that Eb1 is preferred/priority above Eb2 and BE2 is preferred/priority over EB3 is absurd.
The regular yearly BE quota is distributed equally among all three categories that means equal priority for all groups. So then why they should not follow the same distribution for the overflow numbers also?
Said that all BE3 applicants who are eligible should port there PD to EB2, simple. When you know how the system works try to adapt to it.�
We filed our CGs when we don�t know the system, we just trusted out attorneys. If we have to do this CG stuff again most of us will do it differently.
"look, i am not trying to pull down EB3 folks in any way form or manner." I will take your work on this. But the message I got from reading your postings is different, hope that is not your intent. I am just letting you know, I am not accusing you, just giving my feedback.
Please dont close this thread because of my post.

Please DO NOT post the video on Youtube. I fail to understand what good is the video going to do - its another matter to post the nanny's pics and probably on Sulekha or other sites - I'm still not able to convince myself if that will be required now that law authorities are involved - but the idea to post the actual video - what the hell is this - dont know what folks were thinking when they asked you to do so.
Will pray for you and your family - May everything work out better for you folks going forward.

On the note of taking attorney for immigration interview...most of the well known immigration attorneys are too busy to attend such...they would send a senior legal assistant. Some of the senior legal assistants who work at firms for a few years are as knowledgeable as the attorneys and consult attorneys only on tricky matters...so in some cases even sr. legal assistants accompanying would help.
