Q : Will this affect my ability to travel?

Possibly, if you leave the country prior to the completion of the receipting process and do not have the appropriate travel documents, you may have difficulty returning to the United States.

Ok so no travel unless you have AP...right?

Hopefully you should hear soon... My H-1 extension got approved with in 15 days (normal processing) in last month.

Again, any help will be appreciated.

Is there any problem if your passport is expired while on H1 visa?

Do we need to get the passport renewed before it is expiring?

Just get it renewed while you are in US.
Its a one day affair to get your passport renewed(in person). You submit all your docs in the morning and pick it up in the evening.

Why should USCIS send two notices? To answer your question..NO..they will send you one date and location for FP! Also you have to do your FP every 15 months or so..if your case isnt approved by then!

Now that it is 180 days Since Jul 2nd and some of us are thinking about AC21. Some are invoking AC21 and sending the documentation as soon as they change jobs and others are thinking of not informing the CIS (AFAIK Informing CIS is not mandatory as per AC21).

A friend of mine changed jobs 3 times after filing I485 never informing the CIS and got his GC without any RFE. He has the luxury of the lawyer who originally filed the I485 work with him and the company never revoked I140(because they laid him off). Another friend sent the documentation about invocation of AC21 and got RFE.

It is expressed in other related threads to start a poll so that we can have an idea of trends in AC21 usage.

This is a simple poll.

PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE ONLY IF YOU HAD ALREADY CHANGED THE JOB. DON'T VOTE IF YOU ARE JUST THINKING OF CHANGING THE JOB BUT DID NOT CHANGE YET.

No, you are not. Please read this (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=ebaf0c594dafd010VgnVCM1000000ecd190aRCR D&vgnextchannel=54519c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD) link - look out for the question: Are there any additional conditions of availability being placed on the Premium Processing Service at this time?

its applicable to everybody...if ur victim of a crime...u can get gc too.

You need to turn in all your I-94 cards, e.g. I-94 below the H1B approval notice, change of status. When you re enter the new I-94 card will have a new number so old ones if you kept would become useless. I would highly recommend that make copies of all your I-94 cards at I-485 they can ask you provide old I-94 cards Have seen cases where this has happened.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I would appreciate if someone could answer the following question. Before I ask my question, below is a brief background:

- H-1b Date Started: October 2005
- Current H-1b expiration: August 2010 (when I switched my last job in August 2007, they extended for 3 years)
- Date of filing labor: January 10, 2010
- Time outside US on H-1b: about 90 days.

My attorney at work said that I would still need approximately another two months (comfortably) of time outside of the US that they can recapture. This extension would take me into late January 2011, more than one year past the point of the PERM filing. They can, at that point, apply for a 'seventh year' H-1B extension based on my PERM process having been pending for more than one year.

Here is my question. Since I am currently in my fifth year of my h-1b, would it be possible now to apply for the sixth year of h-1b visa until October 2011 instead of looking at seventh year? I started my h-1b in October 2005. Therefore, I have until six years before my h-1b visa can expire, is that correct? If this is not correct, I would appreciate if anyone has any other suggestions to avoid travelling for 2 months out of US prior to July 2010.

Thank you.

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?

If 30 July 2005, then basically you loose 6 months of time, that means you are getting EAD of 6 months duration.

And yes I Have The Lin Number... The Officer Told Us By Phone...

Hey Gurus,
I am in confusion here.
I applied for my I-485(EB2, PD= Dec,2006) in july 2007. I was married that time and my wife was in India. She didnt get delhi consulate appointment so i missed her while i applied for my I - 485. Now she is in US on H4 visa. I got RFE last month on my I 485 regarding employment verification. I have replied for RFE.

My Question here is:-
If I get my green card(that chances are very less because my PD are not current... but on safe side), How i can add her into GC or 485 stage.

The short answer is yes. Once you have an approved I-140, you can ask to be accorded the PD on any subsequent I-140.

I don't know anything about that

I will fell more comfortable if the experience letter mentions the last day as 5/17/2009. Otherwise I will simply mention it as April 2009. This way the continuous employment criteria will be met.

I recently did apply for EAD and the documents required are as below

1. Personal check or Money order for 380$. I prefer sending personal check so that i can know if my check was cashed.
2. I did paper filing and not e-Filing. Some say efile is better some say paper filing is better , i felt paper filing is easy and better , as we can track our documents sent.
3. Docs req are
1. Filled EAD Application form
2. your 485 receipt notice copy
3. Current Addresss proof. electricity bill, water bill etc.
3.Copy of the biographic page of passport for each applicant
4. i-94 Copy
5. 2 Photographs
6. SSN copy ( i put it as my attorney suggested but its not mandatory)
7. copy of driver licence

I have a question regarding I-485 finger prints. Can I goto local USCIS office for fingerprints without original FP notice. I have a copy of the FP receipt notice sent by my lawyer by e-mail.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry I missed that.Yes I am employed .I will do that thorough my employer.But with out help of any attorney.
Thanks

Sganny,

It is possible to obtain extended B-2 status based on the need for medical treatment in certain cases. In addition to providing strong documentation of your son's medical needs, you would also need to show that he would not be able to get adequate treatment in your home country. Additionally, you would have to provide documentation to show financial resources sufficient to support your family without having to work in the US.
