Read the last paragraph here:

http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/FinalUSCISFeeSchedule052907.pdf

Thanks for the link. That clarifies that the new package fee of $1010 encompasses the EAD/AP renewal for the life of 485. If one had used the old fee structure then the new fee for I 765 (EAD) - $ 340 and I 131 Advance Parole - $ 305.

I would think that if you pay $645 (EAD and AP) for the renewal that would also be good for the life of the 485, though the link doesn't explicitly state that. Does anyone have any more info on that?

Thanks.

Please email me your details, I may be able to get you an observership spot. I do not promise, but I will try

Guys and Gals,

It's all speculation... Wait and see... we will all be fine... if you have your papers ready then file it.......

I'am staying positive..... Want y'all to do it too....

All the best....


Babloo bhai, you are the best. We needed this post. Hang in there guys, god willing everything will turn out to be good.

Well, if your H1B is based on approved 140 (post 6 years), even that gets invalidated when your 485 is denied due to revocation of I-140.
According to my lawyer, you can very well work on EAD if your 485 is denied because of USCIS's wrongful decision like not looking at AC21 law, July fiasco PD confusion etc ..if you want to be extra conservative here, u can wait till your MTR is filed and you get a receipt notice to start working again.

When AP is approved, you get 3 copies. I went twice on intl trips and each time they took a copy. I am left with 1 copy of the AP.

Now I need to go on one last intl trip (I have applied for renewal). I just have one copy of AP with me.

How does it work? Will the officer just stamp the AP and make a copy?

AP is like a VISA. Not all of us got 3 copies. Some of us got only 2 copies.
I entered US(Detroit) from Canada. My wife needed to use AP and I still had valid H1b stamped. Still they made me use the AP. I left my other 2 copies at home thinking I do not have to use my AP. Then the officer explained that they need all the copies of the AP (atleast 2). They will stamp AP on the passport valid from 1 year from the date of entry irrespective of the expiry date on AP. They will return us a copy of the AP with the same expiry date on it. What he told me is even if I dont have any more copies I can still travel(not just b/w US and Canada) till the expiry date stamped on the passport and next time I will be getting I94 till that date not one year.

Hope it helps.

Today i got REF regarding my GC .
USCIS is asking me to provide following:

1)All Documents pertaining to US immegration status. Including most recent I-94 , EAD, and all my H1 copies
2)Copies of all US Federal Tax retuns ever filed.
3)Copies of first and last pay stubs of all US employers.
4)Birth Ceritificatates
5)Marriage cetificate and cermony photos.



I have all documents except my first paycheck of the first employer.

I came to USA in the year of 1999 without my employer permision.
I stayed with frieds help without informing the my employer(who filed the H1B was not interested to bring me usa becuase market was not good). It took 8 months to get job after that i contact my employer and i was with him for 6 months and joined another company.

Only problem is , i stayed 8 months in the USA without job(without status).


Between 1999 to 2007 i visited inida 4 times without any issues.

USCIS is asking me submit my first paycheck. - I did not work first 8 months


Anyone can guide me how to handle this case?.

If i tell my employer was not paid first 8 months will that be any problem?
And what are chances of get my GC.

Please help!

I am not able to find the alien ship which I parked at JFK when I came here. Is it with NASA or the CIA?

Check out the USCIS headquarters and look for the junk yard there..

Friends,

If you want to use AC21 and are worried about matching job descriptions, you may do the following:

Go to the SWA O'net site: O*NET Code Connector - Occupation Search (http://www.onetcodeconnector.org/find/result)

Get the O'net code under which your application was filed from your attorney. Use the search option to find out the details of the job description listed under your O'net code. Write down the job duties of your future employment and see is your future job duties match the duties of your O'net code. If it matches 100% you are good. If not, see to what extent it matches.

My job duties matched about 60-70%. I took the risk because I didn't have a choice. I was laid off.

My understanding is that your future job duties should be compared to your O'net job duties and not to your current function at your current firm.

I guess this information helps you to do your ground work before you talk to your attorney. Using AC 21 is a pretty significant decision and can be done very safely if you have a good attorney to guide you through.

PM me if you have any further questions.

I have the same set of questions - posted in another thread - http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=15716

I am not sure I understand what you are saying. But before you get flamed (and correctly so) by everyone, I just have one advice for you: "What goes around comes around".

Never, never ever do anything in life that will come back to haunt you. Dishonesty can only go so far...

Good luck.

Thanks,
Jayant


are you talking about filing LC for ad sent out already that I said ? or ...

Doe anybody have any doubt who developed USCIS software?............ Loser's Guild.

Actually, I took all my documents and initially I was issued Maryland driver's license then he saw this note and called his supervisor and his supervisor cancelled Maryland Driver's license and gave me back Ohio driver's license. May be its matter of whether someone looks your ohio driver's license carefully or not. but bottomline now, I am not able to get Maryland driver's license.

Should I goto different DMA? is it illegal if someone gave me Maryland license even though there is "non renewable/non transferable" written?

I entered US through Logan on Dec 12th, 2007 and got i94 till Nov 2010.
When I applied for SSN at Norwood SSN office, they told me that the immigration dept have to cross verify my visa details and confirm them back which is still not done. Without SSN, Payroll is not generated. I have to return back to India in next 1 week. Can someone let me know the contact info of immigration people. Is this common thing to happen or i need to fight it out Any input will be appreciated. Thanks

are they from same EB catagory? or different?I like many others got a PERM labor & got 140 based on PERM labor.

Recenty , I applied 485 (based on this 140 )in this mad rush


Meanwhile, I have also received Labor approval ( from the same employer) from backlog center with an EARLIER PD .


The question is ..... Can I change the PD based on EARLIER PD after I have filed 485 ?????


I am sure many of us double PDs & might need to find an answer to this ?


can someone help ??

Thanks

Not really .... My brother worked in India for 3 years and worked here in US for 5 years before moving back to India and he is earning good too.

Salary for any job depends on lot of factors. How one negotiates is a key factor.



Cool how did he find the job, did he go through a recruiter from here or did he first land there and then search for a job?

4 months from now, there will be another rush for applications for EADs and people will be spending money for it. Everyone will be back on the forums talking about notices and late processing for these applications. Lot of people will have heartburns and their jobs can be in trouble if their EADs do not arrive on time.

We do not seem to look at the bleak picture ahead in future and are worrying about EADS, AP and notices now. The real problem is retrogression and not if TSC is slower than NSC or vice versa or receipt notices. (You will be surprised that people write to us telling us to focus lobbying efforts on making TSC faster than NSC since that is a big problem faced by millions of people)

The end result of this constant renewals of EAD and AP is heartache, frustration and loss of money for us. We ultimately lose if we do not wake up now and do something.

Unless this community is ready to raise its voice, nothing WILL be done for us in the near future.

Please dont forget to apply for AP renewal, as if you have to travel, without an AP u will be struck.

So, make sure EAD & AP Renewals are filed close to each other to be on a safer side.

Pappu,
Thanks a lot for bringing it up.
The question we should be asking is "WHEN WILL OUR WORRIES REGARDING RENEWING EAD & AP FINISH?"

Folks come on, lets do something about this situation.

GO IV GO.
TOGETHER WE CAN.

Greatly apprecite if anyone can give their inputs...

I have PD with dec 2006 and 140 approved. Filed 485 in July 2007. For october 2008 I will be done with 4 years of H1b. I am single and I may not get married untill later 2009 due to some family responsibalities. I am kind of concered about 485 getting approval by then which might jeoperdise my spouse visa later. Based on the present processing speed, mine might take minmum 2 years. But bit concerend what if USCICS make a mistake in processing 485 in terms of picking 485 from a later date and approving it?

So my query is...

1. If I now withdraw my 485 and later change company. SHould I again get a new labor and i140 approved with new company to file for 485.( Here I understand I can port my PD.).

Any inputs will be greatly apprecited....


PD With DEC 2006: IF you are from a retrogressed country, unless there is any overhaul in the precent process, or new visas added by way of new laws, you are looking at atleast 3 years of wait. Why would you want to withdraw it right now, wait for another 2-1/2 years. If suddenly you notice the dates jumping, then you can decide to withdraw.
In the meantime, get 3 years extension on your H1, based on approved I140.
Check w/lawyer.

Recently we are seeing lot of people with new id without completing profile they are able to start new thread. What if admin enforced new user to fill the personnel information and then only they can post on this web site. More importantly some key massages\important issues get berried in active forums due to above issue.
Even going further we can put trial period for new users for 15 days .If they have any questions just pay 5-10 $ and get active in forum there answers will be provided by all our valued/all star members (most green as per rank) in this way we get more revenue and members get valued advice.

This is a very valid suggestion , because i believe most of the new questions are posted by that fake guy tunnel rat... with different different ids.

What about others?

Ready to file your EAD/AP renewal? :cool:
