I applied for EAD renewal for my spouse. Earlier also i did renewal myself , but online.
This time however i applied manually but forgot to send both front & back of EAD. Instead i just sent front side only. Check was clearly written, photos with A#, Copy of 485 (both sides)
May be a silly question, will it be any issue?
Copy of 485 receipt
Copy Front and back of current EAD
Photos with A# and name in the back (With Pencil/Felt Pen)
Check for 340 Payable to US Department of Homeland Security" (with A#/Name in the memo section) -- Separate checks

Hi Gurus,
I want to switch my employer after my I140 gets approved. I may not be able to apply for I485 because of the Retrogression.
I have read somewhere that the priority date can be retained by the beneficiary once I140 is approved. Even though I restart the entire process from LC application, I can still hold the old priority date.
Are there any catches in this rule.
Please advise me.

I received my card production ordered email today. All thanks God for making all this possible. I came to the US in Jan 1995 on F1 to begin my undergrad, switched to H1 in 1998, had a GC PD of 2002, and now 14 years and a countless visa's later, I was greened today.
I would not have made it through this journey without the expert advice on this forum to all the questions I asked - and just seeing everyone's contributions whether +ve or -ve to remind me that I am not in this thing alone.
For those that are still on the journey - just hang in there and your time surely will come!
Congrats !!! I think u should party hard for a long time...

I am scheduled to close my refinancing (changing from conventional to FHA). Quicken Loan processed my loan - of course their charges are a lot more than others. The point is, I did not face any objections so far due to EAD status. Of course they asked my EAD copy a few times. Hope this helps!

Guys,
If one IV member moves from State A to B, what would be the process of transferring membership to state chapter?
Will it merely be a deleting datbase record from one state and adding it to another state? Or would it be again filling up survey to new state chapter..?
Thanks.
Dont worry, IV is not a bureaucratic government organisation. Simply join the new state chapter and start working with them.

That was exactly what I was looking for.
What happen if the employer fire me because the project I am working on finishes and they can't reallocate me right away? Or for any other reasons? Of course I will not push anything to be fired, but it is a situation that can happen, specially with IT.
Tks!

The above suggested url is to NIH fellows committee, mainly consisting of postdocs. Most of the members should be working in Bethesda, and Frederick areas of Maryland and DC. It would help, for the Wpost article, to contact someone in this group and target some foreign researchers...as it falls right in the area.
FYI: many post graduate employees of NIH, immigrants / non-immgrants (J1) work as consultants to staffing companies contracted by NIH for the purpose.
They are not exempted from H1B cap and I believe cannot even process regular EB2 labor, but only EB2 NIW.
Immigration Voice would like to request members of its community stuck in the green card process that are scientists, researchers, professors and working in the area of national importance. Basically anything that will benefit this country in any way (economically, health related, sciences etc)
We would like make a strong case via media through such interviews and if we are successful in getting such interviews published, these media interviews would be used when presentations are made to lawmakers.
If you know of any such people please pass on this message.
Please respond with a brief detail about yourself and your contact information to jap219001 at yahoo.com and himanshu at immigrationvoice.org

Yes, PR visa is not extendable....Also, you dont have to apply for any PR card when you go to Canada. When you enter Canada, you will automatically be a PR starting that day and the PR will be mailed to the Canadian address you provide at the airport....Its your choice to apply for a SIN card (US equivalent of SSN card)...For this you will have to go to the nearest office to do so. Usually the landing procedure takes 2 to 3 hrs...You can return the same day...PR card is issued for 5 yrs from the date of your landing and you can stay 3 yrs out of Canada...To maintain PR status, you will have to be physically present in Canada for atleast 2 yrs..Hope it works out for you.....

If I'm not mistaken, the 485 processing times for TSC are much shorter compared to NSC. My case is at the VSC which is still doing 06 applications. Is there a particular reason behind this or is it just the sheer number of applications that VSC receives?

upto 6 months. they send out a letter as soon as you apply stating they have recvd yur app and working on it. I had applied for a Name correction. They refused after a couple of weeks itself and asked me to get it corrected in the visa consulate of the home country. When I went for stamping in chennai I pointed out error and the new stamp had the right name. Consult your attorney.

Hi Parimmigv:
Applying for 485 does not affect your H1/H4 status, as these visas are dual intent.
If your H1 is approved, your H4 status will cease to exist from the date of H1 validity (I'm guessing, Oct 1st for you). So, officially from that date, you are on H1.
If you have applied for 485 recently, you are also eligible for EAD which authorizes you to take up "ANY" job of your choice in the US.
485 iteslf is a separate status called the adjustee or parolee status.
Now to your questions:
1. what status am I on right now ?
Since your H1 is approved, effective Oct 1st you are on H1 status. Since you applied for 485 recently you are also on the parolee status. Typically to come out clean of the H1 status, one uses their EAD to work. Then the H1 status is invalidated. To do this, just fill out a new I9 form with your employer showing EAD as the basis of authorization to work.
2. Is it true that only after getting H1 visa stamp I will be moving to H1 visa ?.
No,this is not true. You need not have your H1 stamped to be on H1 status. Your H1 picks up on Oct1st if your 797 went through.
3. How to move to EAD as I don't want to pay payroll fees ?.
Need to fill out a new I9 form with your employer indicating your EAD as the form of authorization to work.
BTW, I gathered that you have'nt received your EAD yet and you may not be in a position to produce it as proof of auth for work for a new I-9. I personally think you dont need to worry about not getting paid from Oct 1st through the day of your EAD approval, as you can claim to be on 485 parolee status during this period and not H1. Please check with a qualified
attorney. I'm 99.99% sure of this.
good luck!
Hello:
Can some please help me here ?.
Iam on H4 and I applied for H1 through a consulting company and got it approved last month. I haven't got my I797 form yet.
I have applied for EAD through my husband's company. I think EAD may take few more months to get approved. My questions are:-
1. what status am I on right now ?
2. Is it true that only after getting H1 visa stamp I will be moving to H1 visa ?.
3. How to move to EAD as I don't want to pay payroll fees ?.

wizkid732,
My case is in background check a.k.a extended review. I tried all the means without any success. Infopass, Ombudsman and senator told me that there is no time limit for these kind of cases. Few unlucky cases gets stuck in this and yes the wait will be very painful if you wait. Best thing is followup every 3 months or so and only think about it on the day or two you followed up.
On the other hand I heard about about few cases where USCIS has told that the application is in extended review but issued the card within a month or so. So I think sometimes they just say that to reduce the enquires temporarily and I hope yours is one of those cases.

Guys,
If we cannot even contribute $10 PER MONTH, that is really really cheap of us.
eb3,
with all due respect, I really doubt if this is the bet way to get people to donate. Calling people cheap is not a nice thing and generally not recommended.
I know your intentions are good and ...

I was also taken aback initially when I read this. The 8 year wait doesnt apply to title 5. Title 5 already is designed to clear the backlog of EB immigration from 6 years to 0/at best minimum since quota is increased and there are exemptions. The 8 year backlog refers to family based.
Thnx agan!!

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,
GCisaDawg
