Hold on there. Why exactly do you need to file EAD and AP now? Once you get 140 and 485 receipt notice, you can apply online yourself. Then you will get your own EAD to your own home.
Then the questions is - would you be able to get a copy 140 and 485 receipt notice from him?
Thinking out loud - Probably you can change the address by calling USCIS or by filing AR-11 (you may need receipt number to do this).

Some where I read that there is no fee for renewal of AP. I am a Jul 07 filer and am not sure about this. Further already applied last for Advance parole and travelled till it got expired last month. I am applying for a new one again. So just wanted to know if I need to pay the fees $305.
So my questions are:
Does the July 07 filers need to send the cheque for $305
Should we also include Biometric fee of $80?
And how much time is it taking these days for AP/
Thanks in advance
There is a confusion regarding who pays what amount.
To avoid the filing date confusion, stick to this simple rule :
If you paid less than $400 ( I do not remeber the exact I-485 fees prior to the increase), then you need to pay for the Ap and EAD, the respective amount. If you paid more than $900 for your I-485 filing, then go file AP and EAD as much as you want.
For either case, you do not have to pay for the biometric. Biometric is only for EAD. Not for AP.
AP takes roughly 45 days.
Hope this is clear.

My wife has her H-4 visa expired. She has her papers(I-797) valid until Dec 2010.
My firm plans on filing an extension for my H1 and my wife's H4 next month. Is it ok for her to stay in India while the H1/H4 extension is getting processed?
Is it ok to travel via Frakfurt? Would she need a transit visa?
Please advice. Thank you,for your responses.
Yes. We faced this problem once. She should either stay in India or the US until the H4 approval notice comes through. Try not to travel after the extension application is filed.
Remember that if she is in the US, then you will submit her current I-94 which will be renewed by USCIS and that will also appear at the bottom of the I-797 approval notice. If she travels back to the US, then she will get a new I-94 (new number) that will expire in Dec 2010 (she will need a new visa stamp to travel, BTW). You then have to go through the additional steps of sending that to USCIS and/or filing again for extending the "new" I-94.
I don't know for sure how big of a problem it is, but I think it is a big problem to have an I-94 that does not match what is on the approval notice.
If she stays in India, however, then she will get a clean H4 approval notice....No I-94 problems there.
But please check with your lawyers too..
Transit visa at frankfurt? It might be safer to get it... will save a lot of hassle. Here is a link.

I have valid H1B visa in my passport.
Can I travel to India via London.
Can you please tell me what restrictions we have at london to travel. I heard some European countries have restrictions to travel.
Call airlines and British embassy and they should tell you the updated rule.

I've an appointment in October at Munich, Germany consulate for H1B stamping. Because of time constraints I decided to get the stamping done when I'm out there for work. I've already obtained the german visa (though had to provide plenty of explanation !). This is my 9th yr extn (MS, EB2 - 140 approved)
- Can anyone share their experience at the Munich consulate?
- or, should I plan going to Canada and trying rather taking the risk in Germany?
thanks,
I have experience with Frankfurt. They gave me 221(g) for security clearance. I had to wait in Germany for nearly 2 months. I think the likelihood of getting a 221(g) will be high.
Wherever you go, be prepared for 221(g) and a lengthy wait (3-4 months). I.e., make sure you have the resources to stay for that long a time wherever you decide to go.

It looks like it has been transferred to NSC. Probably because your AOS is filed there, but more likely because you're from a region administered by NSC. Could you please confirm if that's the case. 450+ days is just ridiculous, but hope this change is one in the right direction.
Hi Guys,
I filed my EB3 I-140 to TSC in June 2006 and it is still pending (yes..really more than 450 days and counting...) Then in July 2007, I filed my AOS with NSC. Today, I got an email from CRIS stating that
Application Type: I140 , IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER
Current Status: This case has been sent to another office for processing.
On September 4, 2007, we transferred this I140 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER to our LINCOLN, NE location for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action. Please follow any instructions on this notice. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you.
It is transferred to NSC because my AOS is filed with NSC? Have any one had this status change in the past? After this, how long did it tak to get your I-140 approved?
I am just curious because can I feel happy that atleast some progress? As you know, I am waiting for my I-140 for more than a year...

It is not illegal. Some companies apply for extensions a bit late and in the mean time, the VISA expires. It is OK. At the most he/she will not be able to drive as the drivers license is linked to the VISA expiry.

Hey Flash, would you be interested in a non profit Digitalosophy project?
Basically it's a file sharing app (flash, xml, php, asp, etc). I really need a logo, and some design work.
Of course, there isn't any payment as it's non profit, and geared toward Kirupa user's as long as your a member here, you can access the app.
I have another guy working with me, hopefuly I can round up a few more peeps.
Of course you will get full credit for whatever work you do on the site credits page.
this is mainly a portfolio builder, if your interested hit me up on AIM, if not pm me and i'll delete this.

Hi. I realized that I made a mistake when filling out the I 485 Part Three:
Processing Information. Specifically, I filled in the I-94 number issued for my H1B as the "Nonimmigration Visa Number", instead of the visa number I got when I was still in F1 Student status.
I called USCIS twice and they informed me that I can make corrections after I get the receipt--I can send in a corrected form, along with a letter explaining the correction, and also a copy of the receipt.
I was wondering whether anyone here had done that before.
I am kicking myself for misunderstanding the form! Please help!

I am in same boat - do you mean we can do ourselves or lawyer has to do it?

I am on H1b and working for a desi consulting company. My visa expired on Oct 30, 2010. My company applied for extension based upon my I 140 approved for 2years. I have valid EAD card. My wife is on H4, she doesn't have EAD.
Another company is offering me job and ready to transfer my H1b.
My Question:-
1) Can the new company can file my H1b Extension based upon my previous company I 140 and receipt notice (Because due to delays my H1b is not approved for previous employer)?
2) What if, The new company don't file AC 21?
3) What if the previous employer cancel my I 140.
Let me know what other problem can I face if I transfer my H1b to new employer.:confused:

Hi, there is nothin' to be confused about. There are many many student here who cant speak English well, in fact, most of my spanish/latinos/germans friends have issues taking classes here but they manage so why cant my friend !! Her spoken English is fair but when it comes to writing she really has to work hard on it..anyways, as for her Aunt:
-The affidavit that her aunt signed along with her bank stmts attached had two parts. The first one only asked the sponsor to check whether he/she will fully support or partially and the second part said, 'if you're a US citizen fill out the part below' and my friend's aunt DID NOT fill that part out or claimed to be a US citizen. She also knows that she is illegal here and she cannot LIE about being legal.

Gurus,
Please advice. THis is urgent. Here is my situation.
I worked for a very big technology company. My PERM is approved EB2 PD 03/07, I-140 approved, 485 pending since July2007. I have an EAD card that is valid until 07/2010. It was my company's policy to renew H1B even if I have an EAD card. An extension was applied in September 2008 for my H1B that expired on November 30,2008. Unfortunately, USCIS denied it in error because they said the filing fee was not correct. This was done in error by USCIS and the attorney hired by my company replied to me on December 30h saying that it will be corrected by them. Now on January 08th, 2009 after the H1B denial, my company informed me that i was being laid off with severence pay until April of 2009. Also, the HR person told me that they wont revoke I-140.
What are my options now?
Can i transfer H1B to a new company as i dont want to use my EAD and continue on H1B. If yes, how much time do i have?
Please please help. I am very tensed.
