I have been trying to access the mexico visa appointment website at http://visa-usa.com.mx but it is not available for the past fortnight. Is it down or has it changed to a new website. Could please someone let me know. Thanks for your help.

It appears like USCIS is finally reviewing the option of issuing Multi-Year EAD's..

Please see Memo release from USCIS

Source :
http://www.immigration-law.com/
1.
Question: During a recent meeting, USCIS stated that it hoped this summer to introduce multi-year EADs for I-485 applicants whose cases were backlogged. Please provide more information about the types of applicants that would be eligible for such EADs?

2.
Response: A proposal is currently under review by USCIS program offices to issue a multi-year employment authorization document to those applicants affected by visa retrogression. If this proposal is adopted, it will apply to adjustment of status applicants.

3.
Question: Please explain what USCIS means in this context by the term �backlogged� � does it refer only to cases pending more than a certain number of months where applicants are filing for renewal EADs?
Response: USCIS is considering issuing multi-year EADs to those applicants affected by visa retrogression. Further information will be provided once a final decision is made.

4.
Question: Will I-485 applicants receive an initial EAD that is valid for more than one year? Does this apply to all I-485 applicants (family-based and employment-based)?

Response: Further information will be provided once a final decision is made

As long as the company is willing to continue his GC process.

May be they should take some load off TSC and pre-adjudicate the remaining 485 applications.

Hi all,

I am from North Carolina and I am applying for ITIN for my wife along with 1040.

I understand I need to send 1040 & ITIN to the ITIN address:

Internal Revenue Service
ITIN Operation
P.O. Box 149342
Austin, TX 78714-9342

Being from NC, the mailing address for my 1040 is:

Internal Revenue Service Center
Atlanta, GA 39901-0002

I should be using ONLY the ITIN address for my this year's tax return and not the address for Atlanta, GA. Am I correct?

Once IRS send me the ITIN for my wife in 4-6 weeks, I should use that to submit my state return (where I am getting a refund). The state return would happen only after the deadline of Apr 17 because its only then that I shall get an ITIN for my wife.

Please advise.

Hello
We have a situation and need your advice on this:

We have approved I140 with company A. Company A merged with Company B, and created a new company. Our amendmant was filed for new company and is still pending. I have also a copy of my approved I140 with company A.

My I485 has passed the 180 days.and I have my EAD, and AP, and done FP.
I have an offer from different company from the same industry sector where I have been working for past many years and same job profile.

I have the following questions:
1. Can I use AC21 portability and take up the new job?
2. Do I have to wait for the amendmant I140 approval?? Or can I change with the approved I140 of company A, and 180 days past after amendmant has been filed.
3. is it true that the employer doesnt have control over pending I140 after 180 days past for 485?

Please help with your information....It will help us decide.

Thanks

Couple of questions folks:

1. Should H1 B Job and GC Job be related? I am going for an H1 B extension based on approved I 140.

2. Can we consider Software Quality engineer on H1B and Software engineer on GC related?

The NAICS occupational codes for

Software Quality Engineer is 541511
Software Engnieer is 541710

Can we consider them related for AC 21 purpose. I so not have the approved labor or I 140.

3. Currently am on H1 which is going to expire next month with my current employer and had my GC filed as a software engineer. I am planning to move over to the client where right now am working as a contractor. I am being offered a position as Software Quality engineer.

Now, do I use the H1 extension and go on to the client or use EAD? If I go onto the client on H1 extension, what happens to the GC process and my EAD?

When I leave the company and if the current employer withdraws the I 140, am I ok?

ROFL they just got pwnt.

Hi

Hi-

My current EAD was issued in 2007 when I filed I-485 + I-140 concurrently. It has since expired. I did not apply for a renewal because I am still on my H1B.

I am applying for a renewal now and had a question regarding filling out form I-765

Q15. Current Immigration Status ( Vistor, Student, etc )
I am still on my H1B. So I think I should write H1B and not AOS. But I am not sure.

I filled (C)(9) for Q16 Eligibility Criteria, and since I live in Ohio I am sending it to USCIS Phoenix Lockbox Facility. My receipt notice is Aug 2007 and to be sure I am including the $380 fee.

Appreciate your help!

Thanks

Welcome to the site!


Nice shot. I like it.

Your english is fine, btw. :)

Buddy, you will need to send only one AR-11 but will need to call in your change of address for every application. One phone call will cover it all, but make sure you tell the Customer service person that you needed this to be changed for every case. Then you will get a confirmation letter at your mailing address for every case that you changed address on. That is what I had to do on my 485 and EAD application.

Also if you have any dependents over 21 (like spouse) then make sure your spouse is next to you or calls in separately to the Customer service. They will not allow you to speak for your spouse. You could do so for dependents under 21 though.


Here is the little official quote and the link:
If you are not a U.S. citizen and you have a case pending with USCIS you need to do both - call customer service and complete the Form AR-11. The AR-11 is used by non-U.S. citizens to meet the legal requirements of informing USCIS of any change of address. Presently, completing an AR-11 does not update your address on any pending case. Also, while calling customer service updates the address on your pending case, it does not meet the legal requirement of completing an AR-11.

Hope this helped.

If your I-140 gets approved when you are already in the sixth year, can you still seek the 3 year extension?
Yes U can.

Hi,

I want to apply for Green Card in EB2 Category through my employee. But I already have a green card in process via my spouse's employee in EB3 Category.

1. So will I be able to get the priority date of the green card process which is in EB3 Category?
2. Can I add my spouse in my EB2 visa process?
3. What are risks involved, if any?

Many Thanks

Yes you can apply for EAD(I-765)/AP(I-131) anytime during 485 pending and send the notice/fedex tracking as a proof for it if required.

HTH,

One of my relative did work in Vancouver, Canada with his GC. He got his work permit at Canadian port of entry. Anyway this was long back, so please do your research, rules might have changed since then.

Hi Friends :

I am not sure if I am posting this question in right thread or not.
My attorney (Dumbest creature on this earth) filed my I-485 (AOS) application on 30th June, 07 recd. on 2nd July at 10.45 am. I was under this impression that all 3 stages 485/765/131 were filed along to uscis.. but I was wrong. My attorney only applied for 485 saying that they were very busy and will file for 765 and 131 (EAD and AP) after we get 485 adjudicated.. BS..

Anyways.. My question is.. since 485 was mailed out via attorney's office, can I go ahead and apply for 765 and 131 on my own, bypassing attorney's effort or am I stuck with them to wait for their mood-swings to go ahead and file my papers. The deadline with old fees application is 30th July as per the news bulletin. I dont want to waste time for 485 to get adju. and then file for 765/131.

Please advise me about this situation. Also I don't have any proof of 485 application being submitted. I only have tracking number of Fedex that the application was delivered on 2nd July. GOSHH.. pls. advise me.

Thanks

WASHINGTON - In a defeat for President Bush, Republican congressional leaders said Tuesday that broad immigration legislation is all but doomed for the year, a victim of election-year concerns in the House and conservatives' implacable opposition to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants.
