As long as you have money and Good Credit, you should get Mortgage. I did it on EAD last year and they did came back and ask for H1B. Fortunately me and my wife both had valid H1bs and they approved the loan. I guess the problem stems from the fact that very few loan officers understand immigration.

But I can assure you if you fight with them you can get it. I didn't had H1b visa stamp in my passport and I gave them I94 and it worked after making them understand. They cannot discriminate against you because you are an immigrant.(even though they do on back end without us knowing :()

Also make sure that loan payments are not more than 42% of both of your Total Gross Salaries. They may deny your loan in that case.

Loans are getting harder to get day by day even with Good Credit.

Good Luck

I have the similar situation, worrying about not getting receipt before expiration date. I called USCIS, the lady told me that as long as I filed before the expiration day, I'm okay to work. If someone else could call USCIS, get different people answer this question, and confirm this, that will be helpful.

What number Would I call? 1-800-375-5283 is just messages

[QUOTE=PavanV;1128388] That said, i believe charity begins at home, one must take care of its own kith and kin before extending arms to others.


Now here is what you first said in your post before you edited it, this is what I got in my email:
" Being emotional is OK, but one must be pragmatic. If one wants communism please head to China. "

So you send me to China just because you did not like what I said.
Now how do you think the Chinese here feel about your oh so nice comment.
Really all I was trying to say is by talking the way he did above we dont make things better we just make it worse.

And guess what you saying charity begins at home, well then how can you blame the Americans that do that for being racist (oh lets not forget only against Indians because you are the only ones here from a foreign country)
,...they are not seeing it as that, they are just doing what you said putting themselves first and forgetting about the fact that a lot of us have been here for a long time built lifes had kids and that it is hardly fair to send us "home" now. Or about that some of us would open companies. Someone in need for food for their family does not think clearly they are emotional and scared!
Talk to them and about them with compassion and you might just turn the way they think. I have done so many times.

I am not saying what they do is right, but what you 2 said here isnt the way to go either in my opinion, you can go ahead and crucify me for it, thats fine. But I rather say what I think than sit there and be silent.

And in the end my message was mostly about the "it s all always against Indians" theme that seems to be so prominent lately....Do you really think you are the only ones and the rest of us doesnt count....well thanks for that.

It does not matter who signs . I just wanted to know .

Some of our members like JunRUN, Hermione etc. already guessed that 800,000 is the total no. of applications received including 131/765 etc. Kudos to you!!.

i did it myself too..pretty straightforward..they hv all info on their website..

Hello,

I used AC21 and switched from company A to company B, 13 months back and started working with my EAD. In the mean time company A attorney sent H1B withdrawal notice to USCIS 11 months back as part of a normal procedure. Since then I have noticed 4 soft LUD's. I had one yesterday. Is this a common occurrence? Please advise.

Respectfully, I domnt think the info is right...

I just applied I-485 with EAD/AP on July 2nd. my wife also has H1. I am the primary to 485.

Question:

My wife wants to go for permanent position on EAD. When she will eligible for permanent position? After 180 days or can before?

Please seniors advice on this. because she is going to get contract-to-hire position.

Man!

This message has been corrected.

Shouldnt the title include petitions filed by one particular law firm:
'Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy LLP' ??
(its a little misleading & intimidating to know 'ALL' applications)

you insult me than ask how i make them? i made them with.umm.. like 30 pages of actionscript. dynamic imported avi masking techniques, ray traced beveled three-d modeling rendering teqniques. yoou know. the usual

Hi all!

I did quick search on this website and notice nothing about infopass experience at Detroit, MI office ( ... I am sure someone smarty pants is going to say I didn't search hard enough), anyway I wanted to share my expereience, so started this thread.

I have apointment tommorow, and will share what happened ( or didn't). If you had been already thru this, please feel free to share pointers.

Regards and Peace!

There is a reason FOX interviewed this fucker... I'm not a big fan of FOX news; another set of conservative idiots.

Do not use inappropriate words.

Hi, I am in exactly the same situation. Would just the I-140 receipt number suffice? My employer also hasn't given me any copies of the I-140 and labor certification copies. My I-140 is approved and it's been more than 180 days since I-485 filing..please advise.

I am planning to change jobs using the EAD / AC-21 in the next couple of months. To start off the process I wanted to get all the approval notices from the lawyer so that I have all the documents in place before I change jobs.
My employer uses a popular law firm to handle the immigration filing etc. I sent an email to the lawyer asking them to send me a copy of the I-140 approval notice.The lawyer responded that according to my company's internal policy they will not provide me a copy of the I-140 approval notice.

I would like to know the following -
1) Has someone else also faced a similar issue ?
MANY PEOPLE ARE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION.
2) If so , is there a way to get them to send me a copy of th 140 approval notice
NO - EXCEPT IF THEY HAVE A CHANGE OF HEART (GOOD LUCK FINDING LAWYERS WITH HEARTS!)
3) Does the employer by law have the authority to restrict the distribution of the 140 approval notice
THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE SAY.
4) Do I need the 140 approval notice in order to use EAD/AC-21 to change jobs ?
IT'S GOOD TO HAVE IT AS A REFERENCE, ESPECIALLY IF THERE ARE 'REQUEST FOR EVIDENCE' IN THE FUTURE. IN ANY CASE, AFTER 180 DAYS OF 1-485 FILING, AND IF YOUR 1-140 IS ALREADY APPROVED, EVEN IF YOUR EMPLOYER REVOKES THE 1-140 IT DOESN'T IMPACT YOUR ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS APPLICATION.

AS A SIDENOTE - IN ALL LIKELIHOOD YOUR LAWYERS WOULD HAVE INFORMED YOUR EMPLOYER THAT YOU WERE ASKING FOR I-140 RECEIPT, THEREBY SENDING A SIGNAL TO YOUR EMPLOYER THAT YOU MAY BE JUMPING THE SHIP SOON!


Thanks

ALL THE BEST!

Step-by-Step Guides



ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS (I-485)
Below is a step-by-step procedure explaining how your Adjustment of Status case will be processed. You should read this entire process before beginning any of the Steps. In particular, you may want to review some of the Miscellaneous Issues in the process. Please follow the procedures exactly to insure both efficiency and effectiveness in your case. If you have any questions, please contact the attorney and/or paralegal handling your labor certification or I-140 case.


STEP #1:
Please compile the following documentation for yourself and each family member who will be immigrating with you i.e. spouse and children born abroad. You will note that some of these documents may already be in our files, however, we may have received those earlier copies from a variety of sources and are not always able to determine the chain of custody demanded by the 485 process. Therefore we are requesting that you provide all documents listed below. Please mail it at your earliest convenience to the attorney handling your labor certification and immigrant petition case.


a) A copy of all approval notices received from the USCIS


b) A copy of all I-94 cards (received upon entry into the U.S.); I-20's (issued if you were ever in F-1 status in the U.S.); IAAP's (issued if you were ever in J-1 status in the U.S.)


c) A copy of every page of the passport


d) A copy of your marriage certificate


e) A copy of the divorce decree from any previous marriages of yourself or your spouse


f) A copy of the birth certificate for each family member adjusting status with you


g) A copy of your income tax returns for the past three years


Please Note: If a document is not in English, then you should provide an English Translation.

STEP #2
Complete Form G-325, Biographic Information, on yourself and on behalf of each family member who will be adjusting with you.


Instructions for completion of Form G-325:
-Please print legibly. Our legal staff must be able to read your hand-written G-325.
-Although the USCIS does not require the G-325 for children under the age of 14, our staff needs the information in order to complete other forms.
-In order to access the G-325 form you must have "Adobe Acrobat Reader" software. If necessary, you may first download this free software.
-You do not need to sign the G-325, we will type out new forms for you to sign.
-You do not have a “File Number” or “A Number”. Please leave those fields blank.


FORM G-325

Special Note: You will notice that two copies of this form appear as PDF files. Please only complete one copy of this form for each family member.


After you have completed steps 1 and 2, please mail all to the attorney handling your labor certification or immigrant petition (I-140) case.

STEP#3:
Complete your medical examination. To obtain the name of a CIS doctor in your area you may call 1-800-375-5283.


DISCLAIMER: The medical examination results must be no more than one year old at the time that we file the I-485 Adjustment of Status. Therefore, we recommend that you do not complete the medical examination until your I-485 is ready for filing.

STEP #4:
Obtain the required photographs for your application. Keep in mind that two photographs are needed for the I-485, two for the employment authorization document, and two for the advance parole authorization. If you are not sure whether you need the employment authorization document or the advance parole authorization, please contact the attorney handling your labor certification or immigrant petition.

MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES IN ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS

COMPARISON OF ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS VERSUS CONSULAR PROCESSING
Adjustment of status is the process whereby a foreign national obtains permanent residence while physically present in the United States. In contrast, consular processing is the procedure for obtaining permanent residence at a United States Consulate outside of the United States. Generally, it is preferable to file your case under the I-485 Adjustment of Status process. If you are interested in having your case filed as a Consular Processing case, please contact the attorney handling your case immediately.


MEMO COMPARING ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS AND CONSULAR PROCESSING

EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION
After a foreign national files the Adjustment of Status application he can continue to work on the basis of his H or L nonimmigrant status assuming that status has not expired. Adjustment of status applicants also have the option of filing for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) either at the time of filing the I-485 or anytime after obtaining the I-485 Receipt Notice. In essence, the applicant needs either the H or L nonimmigrant status or the Employment Authorization Document but does not need both. However, an adjustment applicant with a valid nonimmigrant status may want to obtain an Employment Authorization Document to allow him to work an additional job.


The spouse and children of the adjustment of status employee may obtain an Employment Authorization Document either at the time of filing the I-485 or anytime after obtaining the I-485 Receipt Notice. As such, the spouse and children can work for any employer.


A foreign national can extend his H or L status even after filing the I-485 application.

TRAVEL DURING THE ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS PROCESS
A person may travel after filing the Adjustment of Status application if s/he holds either of the following:
• A valid H or L visa stamp in the passport, or
• Advance Parole authorization
If a person applies for advance parole (either because he does not have a valid H or L visa or simply because he prefers to have advance parole) then the advance parole authorization will be valid for a one year period and will permit multiple entries into the United States.

OUT OF STATUS / UNLAWFUL PRESENCE
If you have been out of status or unlawfully present at any time, it is imperative that you contact your attorney immediately. To do otherwise may jeopardize your continuing status in the United States and/or may prove to be a bar in traveling or adjusting your status to that of Permanent Resident.
