Have you sent the renewal papers to the right location? If not, after Mar 26th receive date, the applications will be sent back to the applicant - to be sent to the correct lock box.

USCIS - Change of Filing Location for Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=3ca0808dfb107210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCR D&vgnextchannel=68439c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD)

I was on I-485 status on my EB3 application working on EAD. My I140 for Eb2 application got approved today while also requesting porting of priority date.

I believe USCIS would have automatically switched the 485 application to use the new EB2 I-140 instead of old EB3-I140

Now my question I am ready to renew my EAD. I wanted if there will be any problem with my EAD application since it is now transfered to an Eb2 position.

My pririty date is still not current....

beautifulMind - does your new I-140 have old priority date from EB3?

I think you should not have any issues filing for EAD, all you need are your pending I-485's receipt notice. good luck!

Please suggest the best time suitable for everyone for the conf call, today evening or tomorrow anytime.

Excellent initiative ! Let's do it !

Hello Attorney,

My wife received a RFE on her I-485 for missing medical test (TB test).
The deadline for responding to RFE is May 9th. She is out of the country currently and is scheduled to return on June 3rd.

Can we request an extension of time to reply to RFE based on hardship?
We just need one more month to comply with RFE.

Does USCIS normally provide extension for situations like the one above?
I took an infopass appointmnet at Baltimore and they couldn't offer a concrete answer since the case is pending with TSC. They asked me to reply to RFE asking for extension and provide supporting documents. I'm not sure if that would be accepted and results in denial of I-485.

Thanks in advance,

Can you not ask your wife to fly back early? Is there a genuine hardship.

When we had our fingerprint appointment and my wife was out of town, the attorneys said it is better not to reschedule. So she flew in before the appointment just to get the fingerprints done on time.

Here are things that you can do to protect your ID. My id was stolen about 7-8 years back and ever since I have been extremely careful

- Call all three agencies(Equifax, Transunion and Experion) and put a HOLD on all new accounts being opened in your name. Say your information was lost in mail and you think there is a possibility of ID theft. You can also put a freeze for your account, with the option to open based on calling your cell phone or home phone
- If you have Citibank Master Card, they offer ID protection program for 1 agency for $6.95 per month...there are other Credit card and banks that offer for $12/month for all three agencies. In my opinion 1 agency update is good enough
-Call the police and register a case, as soon as you find somebody has stolen your id
- have alerts in your bank account to show deduction or auto withdrawals of more than $500
- Shred all personal and financial documents that state SSN, DOB, and any other personal details
- Beware of a Id security protection agency scams from companies that show SSN can never be stolen. The CEO who adverstised that this is my SSN and you cannot steal it...his own id was stolen later
- get rid of all cards that you do not use. if there were credit card details in the package, call credit card company and ask them to re-issue new cards with new numbers


You can use all or some as you find comfortable

I assume that since you are currently in EB3, your current job description is different from the job description for which your company (if they agree) will initiate the EB2 PERM process for. Also, the EB2 PERM process will be for "future employment" for the different job position than the one you currently hold (I am assuming this, in the absence of any other data), so they might not need to let you go, if they get any responses.

If they get any responses to the EB2 advertisement, they will have to consider those applicants and provide them the same opportunity and diligence that they would to anyone applying for that position. If they do not find any of the applicants suitable for the position, they must have very strong and valid reasons why they cannot hire any of the respondents. Only in case they are unable to hire anyone of the respondents, can they even continue with the labor certification filing.

Also, many employers are fairly certain that they will get many responses to job advertisements and hence they do not want to go through the process for hiring a lawyer etc. etc. etc. and initiating the labor certification process for GC, when they can directly hire someone from the market.

Porting from EB3-EB2 seems to be riddled with obstacles.... not as easy as some suggest.... thank you for your response. A lot to think

I have a valid H-1B valid till 18th feb 2011 for employment with my previous employer. I had changed employment and now have I797C for the new employer valid till Nov 2011. I plan to go to India and be back in 1 week, my employer would issue me a leave approval letter. My present employer is a big hospital-non profit and I am a health professional.

Can some one tell if would need to get a new visa stamped if I come back by 15th January 2011. What documents should I carry. Should I talk to a lawyer before I leave. My mom is stable now but I am afraid If dont go now, I might not be able to gor a long time as I dont want to get re-stamping done.

Please advice
Just GO ....and stay for a longer time (atleast a month !!!)...r u a doctor or a nurse ..either way you are in a profession which will always be in demand

My parents visited here in US last year. Unfortunately my mother got high fever and admitted in hospital giving me bill of 30000$.

Insurance company denied my claims as pre existing condition. I tried several ways to convince insurance company but all in vain.

I negotiated with hospital to pay 15000 and paid off hospital bill.

I also got a doctor bill later and that went to collections. I didnt pay doctor bill (500 dollars) till today.

Does this 500 dollar collection notice will effect my mothers next visit?
If I pay now does it matter anyway?
Is there any chance of deportation?

Please advice...

Not paying the $500 is bad for your credit history. However, they should have no effect on your immigration --- AFAIK, the only thing they check if you were ever on public assistance ...

I agree.

No problem using AP through germany. I travelled in Jan 2009. No issue whatsoever. No one bothered to check any document.

I want to start a new thread But donot know how to...


Core Team,

As you know there are a number of applications stuck in PBEC and DBEC.
These are operated by Exceed corporation. I have a proposal that I urge you consider. Please send a memorandum from IV to exceed corporation stating that if we donot see faster results from the backlog elimination centers we would urge the senators to exclude Exceed Corporation from getting any contracts from Federal government originating from CIR..

This should light some fire under PBEC and DBEC...

Please do this to bring some relief for folks stuck in the BECs.....

Moderators please make this a separate thread.....

I got 2 red dots for this .....Crazy people

I will give you one green to compensate.

emmNemm,

read page 3&4 in the instructions for I-131 in the link below

http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-131instr.pdf

it clearly says ur AP app. is considered abandoned if u leave US before approval of AP.

options,
> getting H4 VISA stamped
> apply for a new AP ( not sure if its possible while u r outside, do some research, may be possible, read the instructions above thoroughly)

better get a legal advice.


leo,
cool down man, show some compassion to the bro. i agree its a novice question. but not every one is as knowledgeable as you. dont need to be harsh. seems like u know so much, his question looks silly, pl. give him a better advice.




Hi,
We applied for EAD and Adv parole renewal on July 2nd for my wife. Her new EAD card was received in September and no word on the Adv Parole yet. Online status still shows 'case received and pending'.
She had her previos Adv Parole expiring on Oct 22nd. She left to India on Oct 1st. Now that her previous Adv Parole has expired and new one still not approved, will they allow her to enter US?

Thanks!

I looked at converting to RIR but there seems to be no point in changing. There is no guarantee that an RIR application will be processed before an TR. Also, they are picking up applications in random order and not FIFO. So, I decided against the conversion.

PD: EB2 India- Sept 02

They are all in Valley lake dr in schaumburg... Devon Ave in downtown.. just kidding. 50% of people who live in valley lake dr (apt community) is H1b folks working for SBC/Motorola.

Totally agree. Motorola does not have a mailing list. They depend on their company attorney for information. I cannot get them appraised of IV (or may be they know, visit the forums and do not care). Maybe it may be worthwhile to post something in the offices of the apartment complex(es), provided they agree to it.

My preference was between 3 and 4. But 4 gives me the satisfaction of (or impression of) being at the corner looking into the field. The depth suggested by the rail going off to the right is good, too.


You have some nice clouds to file away for the next time you need to punch up a dull sky.

Before you request for your passport and withdraw your H1-B, make sure your AP documents were approved before you left India.

I have heard from several sources that your AP should be approved before you leave the country. If the approval date is a few days before you left U.S, it can be assumed that you physically recieved it before leaving.

You may want to check with an attorney to confirm this situation. In these forum, you will get personal experiences, but it may never be the exact situaton as yours.

its common RFF for 140.

Just ask your company to provide all required docs .

Im interested. Need time to fill up. Pulling my hair out with all this free time of mine.

So which is better, LOA or termination of job? Hard choice..
LOA till you get a job. LOA will maintain your H1b or EAD status with the same company.
BTW, H1b to EAD is seamless, you needn't go out of the country to use EAD instead. On EAD you can work in a similar job. Talk to your attorney.

Surabhi, thanks for your reply. Thats another option, I should look at.

I took infopass to clarify my situation with 2 I-485, different A#, and one I-140.

The IO verified and told me that both Apps have been merged and keying in either A# has brought back both Appslications. There was a LUD few weeks before I took infopass. I think it may have been because of merge.
