You don't need to send anything - they already have your I-485 application. They will ask if they want. After few weeks of e-filing, I was called for "biometrics". They only took my picture, and that was it. On 11th week I got my EAD. Mine was same as yours: first EAD but having one prior OPT. I mentioned OPT EAD in my application.
Thanks bestia. I am hoping they wont need to call me in for biometrics since i already got that done for my 485. but its uscis...who knows what they do.
Thanks for answering my q!:D

Hi,
I have PERM labor and i140 approved with current employer in EB2 category. The priority date is Nov. 2005. The problem is, since the project I am working on is near completion, its difficult for me to assume job secuirty after 1 year. hence I wanted to swicth the job right now and I have couple of years on H1B in hand so that I can get started with Green card at new company. My questions are -
1. With new employer can I use the priority date of i140 approved with old employer. (I know that I will need to file PERM labor and i140 again).
2. Is it true that I can use PD only if old employer does not revoke it. In that case is there a way for me to make sure old employer does not revoke it?
3. Incase I could not file Green Card with new employer soon, can I get 3 years of H1B extensions with new employer, after my 6 years of H1B are over (since I have i140 approved with old employer)?
I will really appreciate anyone can give me some brief guidance on this.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am Planning to go TORONTO for my 2 H1B visa stamping.In my first experience my application was under administrative processing for 6 months, but since I have AP and EAD I came back,then when they called my Passport was about to expire in 5 Months so with my new passport it went into administrative processing for 2 more weeks then I was asked to come down to toronto and I got my H1-B
Now here are my concerns specially how to prove
1) Employer employee scenario( what docs will prove VO, I work as a IT consultant at third party have my H1B approved till 2013, visa is expired,Vendor is ready to give letter , client does not have this policy )
2) My project end date is feb 2011, what if he asks me what will i do after that, how to convince?
3) will my previous administrative processing triigers for admin processing again ? I heard that once you went to admin processing after that any time you go for stamping you will go through admin processing?
4) Will use of Advanc parole (in case of admin processing) TO come to US in anyway cause issues when admin processing is done and visa is to be issued?
5) Is it safe to go to HomecountrY(Hyderabad,India) than toronto since I dont have US Degree but I did study MS for 3 semesters yet to complete
6)If I Marry and wants to use AP to enter but work on H1 status, can I still have my wife go for H4 Interview with my expired VISA but unexpired I-797 and she comes on H4 and I come back using AP and work on H1 status?

My I-485/I-140 were filed on Jul 2, 2007 (I-140 approved in 9/2007). I possess an EAD valid till Sep 2010 and AP valid till Aug 2009. I lost my job (H1B) in late January. I have a family emergency compelling me to travel to India for a week (starting Saturday next week 04/04/2009). Will there be any problem in terms of using my AP to re-enter the U.S? An early reply would be appreciated. Thank You very much in advance.
P.S: I do not have a job yet.

Wait there is one more thing he needs to check if it single entry or multiple entry.
Entries: S (Single) or M (Multiple)
Since its a 10 Yr Visa it would be a M entry but no harm in double checking it right.

Hi,
I applied for H1 last year and got H1 approved for 9 months. (they counted all my stay on H4). Now H1 expired on 25th Nov and applied for H4 on 15th Nov before H1B expires.
I wants to take advantage of New memo of USCIS. Can I apply for H1B with different employer than earlier one while my H4 case is pending?
Or shall I wait until I gets H4 approval and they apply for H1B.
Please help me on this.
Thanks,
Please put this question in IV attorney call... It's complex and a new rule ...so I would suggest anyone on the forum not to speculate.

Actually, you can file 485 when your PD becomes current, even if the 140 is still pending approval. You need to submit the 140 details alongwith your 484 application.
Once a I140 is filed without the I485 one has to wait for I140 approval before being eigible for filing I485

I think your employer should cooperate with you by not withdrawing your I-140.
Are you sure that if the employer is not revoking 140, (but they will cancel h1b ) i can join some other employer after receiving EAD but 485 < 180 days

I have been asked filled out a new I-9 form; I mailed it to my employer along with the copy of approval notice and plastic card.
Thanks Wandmaker. Its clear (I think) what to do if you have the plastic... but what if you only have the approval notice I-797 (not the physical green card) and new EAD/H1B (which is not useful now), and need to file a I-9 because the old one is expiring.
Consider a hypothetical situation : current EAD expires August 20, I-9 expires August 20, have a new EAD valid from August 21 for one more year. And also have an approval notice for the green card but no green card yet. If the plastic doesn't come by Aug 20th, can the I-797 for the green card be used to file I-9 and continue employment? The new EAD is probably not valid anymore.

She definitely would have issues if plan to travel in TN visa. TN visa is not supposed to have any immigration intent.
The best thing to do is change her status to parolee and start working using EAD. There is no reason for her to continue in TN status, after filing 485.
-Morchu
I agree w/ Morch: TN, unlike H1B, is not a dual-intent visa. Change to EAD/AP.

Hi,
I have a question regarding changing L1 to H1-B visa. If someone comes to US on an L1 visa can he/she change to H1-B visa without going back to India and getting the new H1-B visa stamped? What is the process to remain in the US and changing the status from L1 to H1? Will
Again, I assume that in order to change from L1 to H1-B the H1-B cap rule applies.
Yes, you can do a change of status (COS) from L1 to H1 without going back to India for Visa stamping. Your H1 will come under the annual 65,000 H1 cap, as you might know the cap of this year is already over, you can apply for this COS come April 1 2008 and you can start working October 1 2008 with your H1. Please note you CANNOT start working for a new employer by just receiving a receipt number for your COS. You will need to get the actual H1-B approval notice. While applying for the COS you will also need to show you are currently employed and this can be done by submitting two most recent pay checks along with your other papers. Hope this helps!!

RIP: Paying final tribute to John McCain's deceased integrity (http://azstarnet.com/news/opinion/article_68f0d9ac-647b-51be-b53a-a847beffe0d2.html)
We are gathered here today to pay our final respects to John McCain's integrity.
It died recently - turned a triple somersault, stiffened like an exclamation point, fell to the floor with its tongue hanging out - when the senator told Newsweek magazine, "I never considered myself a maverick."
Statesman to politician!!!!!
As a politician he is focussed on getting re-elected and he is moving in the direction of
political wind. The atmosphere against immigration in US has turned toxic in recent years, exactly the very reason why democratic party is not keen on CIR.

From the horse's mouth
"Adjustment applications and ancillary benefits � The new application fee for an I-485 is a package fee that includes associated EAD and advance parole applications. Thus, if you file an I-485 with the fee listed above, while you will still need to submit applications for an EAD and advance parole, you will not need to pay a separate fee so long as your adjustment application is pending. However, if you filed your I-485 before this fee change, to apply for or renew your EAD or advance parole, you must file a new application with the new fee for those applications."
The new fee for I-485 is $1010 but you do not need to pay any additional fees for EAD/AP renewal for the duration of the application which is pretty good saving in my view if you are an indian with with a PD of say 2005 or later under current law.
For comparision purpose, the current fees structure would cost you $325 (for I-485 - one time fee) + $180 ( EAD - Yearly renewals) + $170 (AP - Yearly renewals).
After writing this email, I realised it could be a decent savings under the new system for ppl like me (India.. 2005 PD). I would have gone for it had the fees kicked in earlier than the current July 30th date. Oh well. I will rather file my I-485 and take the AC-21.

My receipt number begins with WAC too and is with the California Service Center with receipt date of Oct. 5. There was pretty consistent movement until Dec. 18 and though their current processing dates show Oct. 15 since then, I have'nt heard anything as yet. Does anyone have any information on this?
