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
With e-file too, they instantly cash your payment via credit card or debit card. So, you can keep track of it.

140 processing has got nothing to do with your country of origin. Country of origin is used for quotas in AOS/485
In that i applied my I485 in July 2, 2007. AS i'm from bangladesh...when can i expect my AP, EAD and the I-485

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
No, not the Michael Jackson, This is It. This is it for FY 2009 H-1B season. USCIS states that as of December 15, approximately 64,200 cases have been filed. That leaves about 800 slots left for H-1B applicants and perhaps several hundred on top of that since USCIS will need to account for potential denials or revocations of previously filed H-1B applications.
Back on April 1, 2009, a lot of speculation was made about how fast or slowly the H-1B quota would fill. Predictions from one day to 6 months were made. But it looks a lot clearer now... by Christmas or maybe, by the New Year. There really is no way to tell. Practitioners who focus on H-1B work like me, know that odds look dim for someone seeking a new H-1B and who hasn't started the process yet. Issues of delayed LCAs (labor condition applications) and employer FEIN (federal employer ID numbers) are wreaking havoc on how quickly anyone can prepare a new application to get in on this year's quota.
If you have not been able to file an H-1B yet. Call us about planning your case for April 1, 2010. It's never too early, but it can be too late. ---ecf

I will be remoting in from a different state. My employer would not file a new labor condition application which is required.
If the employer is the same and working remotely is an option, then why move from H1B to EAD. Why not keep the current status (full time) and work remote?

Is it possible to extend H4 status after using EAD for a person whose I-485 pending in derivative status.
I read Cronin Memo reg. dual intent "Revision of March 14, 2000 Dual Intent Memorandum"
It seems to discuss reg. using AP to enter the country and maintaining H status.
Not sure if anyone here has done the extension of H4 after using EAD.
Cronin memo:
Cronin Memo (5-16-00) | Carl Shusterman (http://shusterman.com/h1blvisasmemoworkingadvanceparole.html)
Appreciate any comments reg. this,
There's no 100% clear law/rule on that situation and it's somewhat up to the consulate to decide. In theory, she should have no problem getting an H-4 visa at all. However, that's based on a USCIS position saying that your underlying H-1B work authorization remains valid, even after you travel using a Parole. You're correct, though, that there's always been a logical problem with that CIS position, since your status is technically Parolee. Since the consulates are run by the USDOS, they are allowed to take their own position on that problem, so there's always at least some risk of them causing problems with an H-4 visa application. so it is better to file an H1B amendment and go for H4 stamping.

My lawyer mailed my concurrent case (140/485/AP/EAD) on 03/23/07 thru DHL. I am in TX. I also included my Personal check of $1000 for 140 PP.
1) When should I hear something about my case from USCIS?
2) which service center will be processing my case?
3) Will I hear about something directly from USCIS or its only the lawyer who will me main contact?
Will appreciate your comments.
Thanks

Hello All,
I have to fill up the form I-539 for the extension of H4. Because we already applied for I-485, can someone please clarify what we should mention against these questions?
Part 4:
3. Answer the following questions. If you answer "Yes" to any question, please describe the circumstances in detail and explain on a separate sheet(s) of paper.
a. Are you, or any other person included on the application, an applicant for an immigrant visa?
b. Has an immigrant petition ever been filed for you or for any other person included in this application?
c. Has a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, ever been filed by you or by any other person included in this application?
I am thinking we should say "Yes" to all these questions. But what we say on a separate sheet of paper?

USCIS has recently published a new fact sheet of common questions and answers for members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/Immigration%20Information%20for%20Members%20of%20t he%20U.S.%20Armed%20Forces%20and%20their%20Familie s.pdf) The fact sheet contains the most frequently asked questions that USCIS receives.
The fact sheet is worth reading if you are in the Armed Forces because the answers to some of the questions are different (and usually more advantageous) to members and/or dependents of those in the Armed Forces. For instance, if you are a civilian, obtained your green card through a marriage to a U.S. Citizen and you have been married for less than two years, you must file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=f858d59cb7a5d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD) to remove the conditional residence and obtain your permanent green card. You must file this form even if you intend on applying for citizenship a year later. (Persons who are married to U.S. citizens may apply for citizenship in three years.)
Members of the armed forces do not have to file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence to remove conditional residence obtained through a marriage to a U.S. Citizen, if the foreign born spouse was inducted or enlisted in the military and is applying for naturalization based on qualifying military service. Thus, military personnel are permitted to "skip a step" and do not need to file form I-751.
Additional questions and answers and helpful email addresses to USCIS liaisons are included on the fact sheet.

I entered exactly the following on a separate sheet for that item:
"Pending adjustment of status petition. Lengthy adjustment and the need to visit family from time to time."
I self filed for I-131 (both for my spouse and myself) and had no problem with the approval.
I see. And did you attached any documents with that statement?

hello,
My question is about getting the visa after 6 years. I know that you can apply for 1 year extentions each year until your case is closed. We have applied and were approved. Our attorney said we had 2 choices to get the VISA issued.Either we go to our country and get it or we can go to Bahamas for a day and get it. Apperently, Bahamas and US has an agreement and they do it very quick.
What happens if we do not get the VISA stamp on our passports? I mean we are working and do not want to leave the country,dowe still have to get the actual VISA? Do we have a problem next year when we apply for extention if we do not get the visa stampped this year?

If he went on vacation after getting the AP then ask him to use the AP to get back . He can still maintain his H1 status even if he comes back on AP.

The image above is a very nice, serene capture. But the one that really stands out for me is the fern (below). First you saw the shot. Most wouldn't. Then you used good DoF, a good composition, and exposure control to capture the fern without blowing it out but give us enough of the shadow to keep the fern in context. Without the shadow detail, the fern would look out of place. Nice work.
Maybe you didn't get as many keepers as you wanted, but it sounds like you learned some things and you did get a couple of keepers so it was a profitable trip in my estimation. I think we've all been at that "wish I'd used my tripod" spot. It's really irritating if you own one and don't use it and flat out maddening if you take it along with you on a shoot and don't bother to use it. The part that makes you spit nails is there's only one person to blame. . . I'm betting that tripod gets a workout the next time you wander into the woods.

That's expected. The CIR contains highly controversial language there dealing with illegal aliens, which is clearly opposed by the majority of Americans. We are in the middle of it. That is it. It is silly expect otherwise. If you follow the results of last elections, you will see that there is a tendency that supporters of illegal alien legalization are losing. More and more we associate our provisions with CIR, less chances for us to see a bill passing.

My PD is current for 12 months (from Oct 2007) .
Today i got reply for my June 2008 service request, saying my back ground check is not cleared :mad:
I know from Infopass that my NC is cleared long back.:)
If your PD is not current cant do any thing but PD is current, contact your local congressman.
Hi All,
I opened a service request with USCIS when my I485 was current in 09/08 and i got response saying that still investigation into my background remains open, so the case is not yet ready for decision. I filed my I 485 in August 2005 and in july 2007(then my file was current) also i was told that the background check is still going on.
Now we know that if it has been more than 180 days after we file I485, no need to wait for background check to process the petetion. My intention is to get my file out of this loop by the time PD becomes current. If any one had this issue and got it resolved, please advise me how i can handle it.
Thanks.

I have very simple questions, but having searched the web for 9 hours haven't found a definte answer. Any help is really really appreciated...
My L1A and I-94 expires on 12/31/2009. Same is true for my wife and child. my company has not yet filed for extension yet.
My GC application 140+485 concurrently under EB1 was filed recently, mailed on 10/30/2009.
Question
1. I do not need to travel outside USA at this point, can my company file for normal processing extension and wait for result even when my i-94 would have already expired. Trying to save the additional $1000(*3 potentially,) for premium processing.
2. Does my company really need to file L1 extension now, or can wait till march/April for 140 approval/denial/RFE and file based on situation then? Note i am not eligible for i-140 premium processing so have to wait for 3-4 months.
3. Our Driving Licenses(CA) expires on December 31st,2009. Is there a way to get that extended because even if i file L1A extension, i may not be able to get the approval notice by the end of year. So DMV would not extend it. Can i get some letter from somewhere or just ask for I-94 extension without petition extension, which might happen quickly.
4. My wife has an EAD and it expired on 5th Nov 2009, since she is not working at this point (and out of laziness), we did not file for extension. Is she out of status or back to L2 status? Do we need to apply for COS.
Please help me resolve simple question.

Many of us are getting 2 year EADs. Great job IV.
Why AP is not issued for 2 years ? Have any one got 2 year AP ?
Can IV please update on the 2 year AP ? Why it is not issued and anything we can do ?
The reason I am asking this is regarding driver license issues. Lots of people have returned to US using AP. We have got just one year valid I-94s. Each state has its own way of issuing driver license. Since all of us are legal immigrants under the federal system, I think USCIS should publish a memo as what documents are valid for driver license renewals.
Can IV please help on this issue ?
Thanks.

Wife got FP notice yesterday. None for me or my daughter. USCIS now has a new procedure where they will update the criminal background check without new fingerprints, unless old FP are unusable for whatever reason....That means no GC until end of July with all the remaining processing :(
Was hoping to be out of this agony earlier.......
Hopefully no retrogression in Aug.
