Hi all,
This is my first post here, if it is not in the appropriate location please excuse me.
My company filed my I-485, EAD and AP together.(On Auguest 6th this year) They asked me for only one check for $745.
I was reading through a few posts and found that everybody had submitted 3 individual cheques for the same...
Is this ok? Or did my company do a blunder.
I have not yet recieved any receipts.

From what I have heard from close friends/relatives, your option B is correct.
Also, people living abroad and coming here and getting citizenship is only possible as you know if they fulfill the physical presence and continuous residency requirements. Further, since they have a US address (and can provide proof for it), why should the 90 days USCIS district requirement be an issue?!

When 140 is denied, then 485 is also denied. Appeal going to AAO is common thing. Will sit there forever. Its takes approximately 12-20 months to get a reply.
Mine is already crossed 12 months now.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for your responses. Will the 240 day rule apply even if I reentered on AP and in parolee status?

U.N. Begins Meeting to Discuss Atlanta Labor Certification, Work Conditions in Cambodia
BSNewswire.com
The International Labor Organization (ILO) of the U.N. kicked off a four-day regional meeting in Stockholm Tuesday aimed at improving working conditions worldwide.
"Atlanta Labor Certification (ALC) and the situation in Cambodia remain the most pressing issues we are facing today," Swedish Labor Minister Nils Freivalds, the meeting's chairman, told participants. The participants are expected to endorse The “Missing Application Statue”, a memorial aims at educating the public worldwide about the Atlanta LC tragedy of August 07, when hundreds of thousands of applicants and their families were practically prohibited from applying to permanent residency and gaining labor portability. Those victims might have to wait for several years to get another chance. Atlanta shelved their LC applications for times ranging from 2 months to 2 years while the LC applicants at Chicago where getting results in 2-8 days.
“This statue is created to remind us of what has happened and what could occur if we forget the past. May the tens of thousands of applicants in Atlanta and their families always have a place in our hearts. And may their suffering not be in vain.” said Freivals.
This is the second time a UN agency interfere in an issue related to Atlanta Labor Certification. The first time was in May 2007 when the General Assembly voted to prevent the usage of the term “Atlanta Processing” referring to extremely slow and inefficient systems. The term was considered very cruel and inconsiderate toward the victims and their families.

Hi,
I am on H1 and may have to use EAD in couple of months. What would be the status of my son (he is on H4) if I use EAD? We filed 485 in July 2007.
Thanks,

There really is no science behind the time line to be honest. All i can do is tell you my experience.
I came to the USA in July 2008 on an L1A visa in category EB3 c (Multi national Executive or Manager). On Oct 9th 2009 my companies attorney filed for the I-140 and I-485 concurrently for me and my family. I received my EAD in November 09 and my I-140 was approved on the 18th of March 2010. My green card (I-485) was approved on the 22nd of April 2010 and I received my actual card on the 30th of April 2010.
As I said above there is no science to the time line, its really a case of take a ticket and hope for the best but mine took a total of 6 months from start to finish. This is pretty quick to be honest but my attorney was very good.
Hope this helps.

Yes. You will get all the tax rebates. I remember getting the rebate check after 2001.
THAT makes sense. Since i had JUST graduated in June 2001, i must have filed as a NON-resident for that period.

It appears like USCIS is finally reviewing the option of issuing Multi-Year EAD's..
Please see Memo release from USCIS
Source :
http://www.immigration-law.com/
1.
Question: During a recent meeting, USCIS stated that it hoped this summer to introduce multi-year EADs for I-485 applicants whose cases were backlogged. Please provide more information about the types of applicants that would be eligible for such EADs?
2.
Response: A proposal is currently under review by USCIS program offices to issue a multi-year employment authorization document to those applicants affected by visa retrogression. If this proposal is adopted, it will apply to adjustment of status applicants.
3.
Question: Please explain what USCIS means in this context by the term �backlogged� � does it refer only to cases pending more than a certain number of months where applicants are filing for renewal EADs?
Response: USCIS is considering issuing multi-year EADs to those applicants affected by visa retrogression. Further information will be provided once a final decision is made.
4.
Question: Will I-485 applicants receive an initial EAD that is valid for more than one year? Does this apply to all I-485 applicants (family-based and employment-based)?
Response: Further information will be provided once a final decision is made

Hotel News Now, a leading Global Hospitality publication, ran a two-part series about staffing challenges facing the U.S. hotel industry. I was honored to be interviewed by the publication and share my insights on the problems facing hospitality employer in these challenging times.
With the level of unemployment about 8.5 percent, why do hotels still need foreign workers? There are various reasons, from location to the attitudes of American workers. And changes in schedules and lifestyle have affected one of the former staples of summer work�students.
The situation is bad for staffing professionals in the industry, said Jacob Sapochnick, a San Diego, California-based lawyer whose practice is devoted to immigration law. �Even though they can hire local people, they can never rely on them for the full term,� he said. �If you have a large hotel, need 50 housekeepers and hire locally, the turnover is very high. They find a better job or one that pays more. When you have H-2B workers, they know they have them for 10 months. Their visa depends on them working at that hotel.�
The more turnover, the less likely the hotel will function properly, Sapochnick said.

Hi,
I know this has been discussed a lot but I need advise or suggestions..
I am under Eb2 with priority date of Jan 2007 (labor and I140 approved) waiting for date to be current so that I can file I485 AOS....
My wife wants to convert from H4 to F1 for coming Spring 2011 so that she can take assistantship..
Is it advisable to change status to F1 with priority date so close..? does it cause any problems for her I485 application since F1 status is Non-immigrant category..
Please advise..

Hello,
My original H1B visa was issued to me on Oct 1st, 2010 and is valid till Sep 30th 2010.
I got a new job in 2009 and they applied for my H1 transfer. It was approved and the new dates on the new I797 are 10/01/2009 till 09/17/2012. I went to India after that and when I returned, I got a new I-94 off course which was stamped to be valid until Sep 30th 2010.
Now I am nearing the end of my original H1B visa issued by my previous employer and stamped on my passport this coming October. I am also planning to go to India in this coming June. Will I will have to get my visa renewal stamping done this time if I go to India? Will I need a new H1B stamp on my passport from my new employer on my passport to come back?
I really appreciate any words of wisdom from all you learned people on this forum. Thanks in advance!

You probably have to get your passport stamped for visa renewal.

To everyone who reads my post. I apologize for not being clear. The article says that they are talking about eliminating the per country caps and giving green cards to STEM graduates. In my haste and excitement I should have spelled this out. Now with that said I do not appreciate the snide remark from the previous poster. This is a forum for productive discussion, not for people to be condescending. So let us rejoice that maybe people are listening to us!
