a court actually agreed with USCIS....so a person can work but can't be present in the US and USCIS won the case.

Divyendu Sinha was beaten to death while he was out on a walk with his family near his
home in South New Jersey. He holds a PhD and was a professor and author of computer
Science books.

How much time does it take on an average to generate a FP notice from the receipt notice date and when does the actual FP take place?

???

Guys I need your expertise and valuable answers on this:

I have an approved labor and approved I-140. Based on this I've got extension for 3 more years. I have a contract-hire opportunity which requires me to be a consultant for "X" months. I know I can transfer my H1 to another company. But my question is, can I transfer my h1 again to join the client after "X" months.

Why is receipt date different on the I485/EAD.

I am reading some of the posts from other members.
Their receipt data on the EAD is different(at least 1, 2 months delayed) from the date USCIS actually received their application. I thought USCIS is going to honour the actual date when they received the application by mail.
It is obviously more than 2 months late for many of the applications.

If some one to use AC21 portability, what exact date is honoured? the date when USCIS received the application or the receive date printed on the EAD?
Is the date when USCIS received is stored some where?

In my case, I filed my I485 on July27 at TEXAS Service Center, I received a notice on Oct 6 from CALIFORNIA Service Center, Details below :

Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Receipt Date : Oct 1, 2007
Notice Date : Oct 2, 2007

Current Status: This case has been sent to another office for processing because it has jurisdiction over the case.
On October 2, 2007, we transferred this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS to our TEXAS SERVICE CENTER location for processing because they now have jurisdiction over the case. We sent you a notice of this transfer. Please follow any instructions on this notice. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you.....

Now, I am not sure, what exactly is my Received Date. And how it went to California Center? I have confirmation from FEDEX tracking that it is delivered to Texas Center.

EAD 1: valid from Jan10 2005- Jan 9, 2006

on July 11, 2005 you applied for EAD 2

On July 29 , 2005 you got it approved. What will be EAD 2 's start date? 30 July , 2005 or Jan10, 2006?
Approval date - Jul 29 2005 will be start date for EAD.

There is no requirement that states your employer has to buy your return aeroplane ticket. Hopefully you will be able to find another position.

Here is a memo from one of the law firms, I found on the net.
http://www.michaelpiston.net/documents/m/changing%20employer%20after%20I-485%20is%20approved.pdf

After digging thro' forums it seems everyone talks about having the "intention" of staying with the Employer after GC.
Here's my question.
- Should the "intention" be on the day of filing 485 or the day you get GC ? (a date in future that no one can predict).

If the "intention" has to be at the time of 485 filing then, after 180 days of filing 485 one should be able to change employers, irrespective of the case being approved or NOT.

thoughts/comments ??

I had a friend in the same situation. Had H1 and EAD. He worked halftime for two years to finish his MBA. Now went back to fulltime H1. I think your company has to approve it and yes he filed ammendment.

Thanks for the info. I am in the process of asking for approval from my company and I don't anticipate major problems.
So far other than H1b amendment I don't see any other actions I need to take. If anybody can think of anything else please reply to this post.


Thanks.

Can anybody help me out with regards to what documents need to be sent to the canadian embassy in newyork for a TRV (visitiors visa)?

Request letter (i asked for visitor visa to meet friend)
Filled in form.
Employment letter from employer (I didnt send. they called and asked me to fax that)

Postage paid envelope for them to mail the passport back to you.
Proof of funds (bank statement copy) for the stay.

Its there in web page.

There are LUD's twice on my wife's and my 485 in last 4 days first was on Friday 9/5 and the second was this morning 9/8.
RFE on my wife AP (131) was issued 2 weeks back, we haven�t received the RFE yet, Expecting it in a day or two, last week my wife called USCIS to find out what the RFE was, USICS customer rep opened a service request on her AP since it was more than 10 days RFE email and we haven�t got the RFE mail.

What could be the RFE for her AP, other than photo? Any clues?
Are the GC numbers available for EB-2 India for new approvals?

I am guessing the RFE is holding up our 485 approval, I know I being optimistic here, but who is not when it comes to GC. I will update my post after I see the RFE.


We had LUD's on I485 on 09/5 and I (dependant) had a RFE issued on 09/05.
RFE on AP has nothing to do with I485. As people have mentioned I think USCIS maybe holding off on approving EB2 I/C apps.
Whats your PD/RD/ND/Service center?

Advance Parole is not a requirement to maintain status. AP is used to get back into the country based on a pending 485. If you have a valid H1/H4 and just want to stay with it and get back on H1/H4 that is totally fine. AP is optional in your case.

You have to get from your attorney or employer only. There is no other way you can get this. For joining for a new employer, the new job my be same or similar if you are using EAD / AC21 to continue GC processing.

They should exempt PIOs from this new rules. If back from a vacation and there was an emergency back home ( within 60/90 days?), can't i take my US citizen kid to India ?

Its only for tourist visas. Take PIO card for your kid.

Is that normal to have the same I-94 number on my renewed H1B and my wife's H4 approval notices?

Seems it is a mistake that my old I 94 is given in H4 extension application. Do I need to apply for correction? Any Lawyer / Member, please confirm. Thanks in advance.

I-94 is what determines your legal stay in the US. Since you get an I-94 only during your entry into the US, it is normal to get the same I-94# on any subsequent extension of status applications filed within the US. Your attached I-94s on the I-797 approval notice are proof of your continuous status since your white I-94 cards might be expired. But do keep the original white I-94 cards with you as you are supposed to return them along with the new I-94s attached to I-797 notices, when you leave the country.

Welcome to the world of USCIS!
What a crazy system..
Hi Guys,

On July 2nd I have applied for my wife (EAD, AP, I485) and have waited for 3 months (October 1st) to hear that USCIS has rejected her application due to wrong fees (But we have sent them the correct fees)
My Lawyer immediately sent back the application to USCIS saying that the Check we have sent is correct and it is before increasing the fees and we haven’t done any mistake.

In the meantime on July 16th I got my 485 approved and got my GC. So now we were worried as my wife is already out of status and don’t know how long it will take now to get her receipts and how long she can stay.

I have tried calling USCIS – Every time same answer -- you have to wait, you have to wait No records in the Database. Yesterday when I called, a Lady answered the phone and she said we need to wait 90 more days again as it is like a new Submission and it was a shock for me after hearing that.

Can any body suggest me what to do in this kind of situation? Is there any body in the same situation?

Thanks
skb

Did anyone get I485 based EAD before the first FP? Thank you!

Hi,

I want to know how this can be possible. A few folks who work with me claim that some folks whom they know well have got GC in Feb 2007, even though there PD is June 2005.

They are all from India. I am sitting here with Aug 2001 PD, just cleard from BEC and waiting to file 140 and 485.

Do you think there is any truth to the previous statements of my friend ?
