PD Aug 2004, EB-2 India
I-140/I-485 applied in August 2007 at TSC (non-concurrent)
I-140 approval in March 2008
Spouse 485/AP/EAD applied August 2008 (received receipt notices)
Self EAD applied August 2008 (received receipt notices)
Till date I have not received my FP notice. I applied for my EAD (even though I am not planning on using it) hoping to jump start my pending 485 and get the things rolling for FP and processing of 485. Surprisingly, I got my EAD approval email on Aug 17th and I received my EAD card in the mail yesterday. It is valid for 2 years. It says finger prints not available. No change in the pending 485 status.
I am totally perplexed about receiving the EAD without FP and so is my attorney. Can someone give me an idea of what is going on? Any input is appreciated! Thanks much!

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/Pinocchio.jpgBorder guards are not known to be the friendliest people in Federal service. The immigration attorneys at Fong & Chun in Los Angeles routinely hear stories of border guards shouting at aliens who are telling the truth, bluntly telling aliens, "you are lying to me," or asking in a hostile manner, "why are you lying to me?" The border guards do this, even when they do not really think someone is lying. They do it to destabilize or disturb the alien, to get the alien to make an error or say something wrong. Basically, it is a trap.
Recently, Alan Bersin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Bersin), the commissioner of US Customs and Border Protection (http://www.cbp.gov/) -- the head of all the border guards -- told Congress (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5j07I9Bw4Q1kxusXReW4qAjNPdR2AD9FM4S300) that he did not know he was required to fill out and keep Federal paperwork to verify that his household employees had the right to work in the USA.
Bersin is the head of US Customs and Border Protection.
Bersin is a former California Secretary of Education.
Bersin is a former US Attorney.
Bersin went to Harvard and Yale.
Bersin says he had no idea he had to follow the law?
Why is he lying to us?

I am currently working on H1B and have received my EAD and Advance Parole recently. I am planning to travel next month and want to use
my Advance Parole for this purpose. When I come back (to avoid h1b stamping again in home country). Do I need to use EAD to continue
working in US?
Thanks in advance

I think this is a step forward...but aint cutting it...your status remains "in process for years"...everyday check the same url and it says gives the same stale status...what we need is a way to make a resonably accurate guess as to when my LC will go into the next stage..
The process and results need to be predictable....!!!

I am suggesting we should write to White House and to the Ben Bernanke in Mass and draw their attention towards a million people waiting for their green cards, logically they should have already got it(10 years waiting is illogical) but if USCIS use Visa recapture these people can get green cards and green cards to these people means a million new house buyers in the market new cars buyers etc etc. Everybody is going to get green card one day, why not now..That will help bail out the housing market. I'm sure it'll strike a cord with the lawmakers as it will benefit them politically....

In very simple terms : Progressive experience means your job responsibilities increase with time.
Have a question related to that:
If job / EB2 stipulates Bachelors + 5 years criteria, does it imply 5 years after obtaining the degree or can the experience be cumulative ?

Hi,
I am trying to find health insurance for my spouse who is in H4 visa.
Could you please let me know if I can buy the health insurance only for her? Is there some law which states H1B visa holder also needs to buy the health insurance along with the spouse?
BTW, I am living in NJ.
Appreciate, your inputs and pointers on this issue.
Thanks,
I guess the new law requires you to have a health insurance...please check the new law which came into effect last week.

Since Senate passed the CIR bill last year, is it necessary for the Senate to pass a bill again this year?
If the House manages to pass CIR this year, wouldn't a committee (Senate & House members) meet and chalk of the difference and come to a common ground?

Had a quick question. Not sure if this has been discussed before. Planning to get wife here on H4 and she wants to study. I have applied for 485 and in retro now. Is it advisable to study on H4 or F1? I know she can work on F1 but would that not be advisable since lets say the VB does become current in future for me then filing her 485 might be a problem since F1 is pure non immigrant and USCIS might hold it againt her. Any info/simlar situations greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Amar
You can only work on an F1 under OPT which can only be applied for after at least two full semesters of studying or after graduation.
The F1 is not purely a non immigrant visa since this is the one people like my son are transferring to since they aged out of the employment based immigration system. If it were this would not be possible.
An H4 is as good as any choice if she plans to study. The fees will depend entirely on the state and the educational institution she chooses to attend.
Thanks

Folks make sure the A number is same in both applications, if they are different USCIS puts it aside and will not process, I found out today while getting my address verified with USCIS IO, they had entered my address wrongly.
WHile checking the IO said it was good that my wife's derivate app under me, and her self 485 App A numbers match. Otherwise, they put it in pending state forever.
I am still in a confused state.IV friends continue to neglect my threads.:D.
I was in L2 EAD and had a A# starting with 1 .Now after filing for GC all my receipt notices have a different A# starting with"0"."Alien number is something like SSN " was my persumption.I had also filled in the applications for GC using the L2 EAD alien number.Attorney never replies.Totally confused.:confused:

Hi,
My I-140 is pending, and my H1B renewal is also pending. Can I travel to India? If yes, what will I show as proof at re-entry?
How will it be for my wife? She is on F1 going on to OPT and a pending I-485 linked to my I-140 application.
Thanks.

I have similar issue and spoke to my Immig Attorney, who advised me as follows-
(1) In order to maintain your resident alien status, you should be in USA more than 181 days, in other words it is adviseable to stay less than 180 days outside USA.
(2) It is adviseable that you return to USA, ASAP, once you get CRIS email that GC approval has been provided.
(3) I believe you are going to use AP. You would prepare your I-94 card at the POA and the POA officer would ask you where you are employed before putting stamp on I-94. Be prepared to answer that question. Most likely 99%, the POE IO will not ask any proof. However, it is adviseable to have a current job (sort of Employment Verification Letter) and leave letter approval.
All the best.

I also asked my company lawyer and they are suggesting that since her status is H4 she can not work. For working on EAD she has to leave country and reenter on AP.
So a little confused here?

Technically ...... "ZERO" (no time-gap).
But don't worry about it too much (what can you do). Get your next job ASAP, and file for "premium processing".
In the past "extension of status" petitions had got approved even after almost a month gap, with good explanation. But you can never count on that.
Worst thing that can happen for a valid new H1 job is USCIS approve your H1 but reject your "extension of status" (I797 without I-94 attached). In that case, you might need to travel outside of USA and get your visa.
Either way, don't go beyond 180 days. There will be additional consequences.
Hello, I lost my job today, but I have H1B. So what's the time gap for finding a new job?
Thank you very much.
