Do I have to pay for my green card again if the INS made a mistake on my birthday? Need to know if there are any under the table jobs in Lake Havasu City,AZ. My green card expired in 2004. I have an AZ license and a social security card. Can I work with expired card? Please help!

Sorry not sure you will find advice or support here- This is a LEGAL immigration site.

As far as I know, since you are past 180 days of 485 filing, you are ok. You can stay in the country based on your pending 485 application. You can take whatever time it takes for you to get a job in your same/similar job classification. However, if your 485 is close to approval, then you need to hurry to find the job, since a job offer is required at the time of adjudication of 485. This will depend on your country of chargeability and PD. If you are from India/china/philippines/mexico with a later PD, you should be ok as long as you find a job in the same or similar classification.

Others can correct me if I am wrong.

I did get an LUD on my approved I-140 which i am not using for Adjustment of status. I have applied I-140 and I-485 concurrently through a different employer. I am really surprised what caused to trigger LUD on that I-140. I am not asking for priority date port either. Interesting.....

Just go to online address change and do it for all your petitions.

On another note, is it true that people are getting RFEs when they do address change? Has anyone faced this?

What I have heard is that if your new address is 200+ miles away from the old address, you are most certainly going to get a EVL RFE. One of my friends' recently changed his address within the same city and never got RFE.

but on my LCA, my lawyer entered 5/17 as my last day for continuous employment reason.(my first day in my current company was 5/18). Will that be a problem?


All experience letters should indicate the last date of your employment as 5/15.

Apologies if this is covered in a thread elsewhere (doubt it)

A colleague and I both filed EB2 PERM labors at around the same time in 2005.
Our 140s got approved roughly together too/
We both also applied for 485 on July 2nd, through the same lawyer, and both applications went to TSC.
Both of us saw our checks get encashed on the same date.

Here's where our applications diverged.
He received an LUD last friday and his EAD card has been ordered.
I received an FP request today(monday) but no LUD updates.

Although our applications are a bit dis-similar (he is married, i filed single), I have this theory that USCIS is splitting their queue, so as to not bombard its internal departments with the flood of work that has recently come in.
It makes total sense to split people into two groups (atleast), and for each:
a) send them EAD cards with a note of FP pending.
b) send them FP notices and do their EAD later.

(I know another friend who is in group a, while I'm in b)

Yes, we all like to bitch and moan about USCIS, but thats generally emo-talk.

So, has anyone else noticed this, or can anyone help me understand what I'm missing here.
This is just me speculating, but I'd like to throw this thought out there and have it rebound with your inputs.

Hello

I am working on a L1 B Blanket Visa since the past 3 years. My visa is expiring on 11/18/08 and my employer encourages me to apply for a fresh petition from India rather than apply for an extension here due to the no. of cases denied. My wife is presently employed through EAD which expires the same date.

Is there any way that she can retain her employment while we both get our VISA stamped a month before my current VISA expiry date from India ? She might not get 2 months leave without pay which is the usual processing time for a re-extension of EAD considering we both arrive in US after getting a new VISA in the first week of November 2008. Please advise.

I don't see the gain. Although a fresh L petition has better chance of approval, you still have to get a visa approved, which may get rejected.

Given your wife's situation of EAD, you are better off applying for an extension here. They will not reject an application as long it meets all the requirements.

Hi, I am in same boat as you. I tried to find infomation & reality is 485 for future spouse can be filed only if the PD becomes current.

if you need attroney, i can suggest few like rajivkhanna at immigration.com, sheila murthy at murthys.com, sonal mehta at nankin.com/mehtaverma.html, shusterman at shusterman.com. if they are out of state people, you can do teleconference.

if you have any legal advise questions, you can post your question to the attroney sonal mehta vema who gives free legal counsel in IV forum, check the following threads to know how to post a question:

I am in NYC. My wife's attorney Stephen Perlitsh, is just too busy to give us some career guidance and cancels our appointments in last moment. I have no problem paying a good fee if I can get a real good prefessional advice, it is very essential for us in this retrogressed scenerio.

R u specilising in Residencies and fellowships etcc?? I will PM u though.
Thanks

Like I said earlier, you have 240 days before you go out of status. If you are receiving an RFE, it means your case is under review. Upon receiving your response to the RFE, the officer should be able to adjudicate case fairly soon. However, if you are nervous, I recommend file for an expedited review when sending your response. That said, I would hate to pay the extra $$$$ if I don't have to.

I've read at the vfs website and also the forums that Returning US Workers are qualified to apply for Emergency appoitment. Has anyone on this forum done this and successfully got visa stamped ? Also is there any document needed to support the emergency or just the fact that we have to return to the job is enough to qualify for this category?

Thanks!

i thought i would share that my 140+485 which was concurrently filed on 2nd jul got approved today. seems like the ead renewal trigerred it as i see a LUD on that as well.

looks like 2003 pd are starting to get picked up at TSC.

how long does it take to get the actual card? i have to travel outside the country next month, what do i need to get back?

thanks.

I just noticed on USCIS website that all 4 of our family's I-485 (myself, wife, 2 children) have new LUD of 4/1/2009.

The message still says "case received and pending" on all cases.

I wonder what it means?

Thanks.

She was detained for five hours but not strip searched. Understandably she was upset by it."


Wow. She was upset because she was not strip searched? :D

:) :)

Hi,

Many thanks for your response
