My 485 (based on NIW) is pending. Based on the current bulletin, it could take years to approve my case. I currently work in the US using H1 visa. But I may need to travel outside the US for 1 year or even longer for business reason. Is there any way that I can not abadon my 485 pending status? Thanks!

This was the first time I called up the USCIS help desk (1-800-375-5283) to find about AC21 180 days rule, when she asked what is this for I informed for change of employer.
I would like to know if that statement would be noted and would it create me any problems in future, as of now I don�t have any plans to change employer.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
My Case Details:
PD: EB2- 2006.
I-140 Cleared.
EAD: Received.
FP: Completed
Yes, they would record your call but I dont see it creating any problems in the future as long as you satisfy the AC21 conditions if/when you change jobs.

I just spoke with Siva, and the funding might not be the issue with DoL. This might be a case of the "mythical man month" (training more people takes time).
If USCIS think it practical then keeping priority dates may be something that the law makers will consider.
Maybe law makers would consider allowing concurrent PERM filing while waiting for BEC.
Soon we will have an opportunity to call the DoL on their word. They have estimated all data entry will be done by end of June. If they don't have it done for then the law makers may be more receptive to further measures. The lack of concurrent PERM filing is I think an administrative rule, and thus if DoL does not shape up with regard to its estimate of end of June 2006 for data entry, then the law makers could very easily override the adminstrative rule. The trouble then might be that PERM is flooded with 100,000 applications. So portability of priority date looks to be the best bet with essentially zero cost in terms of fees, queues and administration.

Dear All,
1. Can someone please let me know what I should take with me when I meet the USCIS civil surgeon? Who gives the Form - I-693? My lawyer has not attached that form in her mails to me? Does the hospital provide or should I take one with me myself?
2. How is the procedure usually with the USCIS civil Surgeon? What does the surgeon do and how is the examination like?
Please help me understand this process better. I am aware of the vaccinations I should take but I am not aware of the procedure with the surgeons.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Augustus

What annoys me, is that the consulate delays the visa stamping and also keeps the passport. Seems to me that they deliberately keep the passport so that the candidate doesnt travel back on the AP. I was in similar situation in March 08 at the Mumbai consulate, after waiting for around 45 days I travelled back on the AP(back then they had not taken my passport)
Let us what happened to your cousin when you receive updates from him. Is he working as a consultant (paid by his employer) and working elsewhere ?

Hi,
You can email to E-Filing.Support@dhs.gov requesting the receipt notice in pdf format. I had the same situation and i emailed the above Id and got receipt notice (pdf) in 48hrs. BTW in the email give your receipt number.
Thanks,
Krishna
Very useful info. But it seems that "beautifulMind" does not have receipt number. Best thing would be to wait. Finding out whether payment is received in USCIS or not will be helpful (e.g calling credit card company).
One more thing, now a days USCIS started taking more than a week for sending confirmation or FP notice. This may be due to more work load or intentional delay due to multi-year EAD.

Its been a long time since Ive been on F-1 and I'm sure some of the rules have changed.
F-1 from my understanding can be extended beyond 2 years, usually 4 years was the norm. Some F-1s were even open ended, there was no limit stated on the F-1 visa itself. In my case I did OPT on my 4th year.
Are you graduating or intending to continue your education? I think it would be hard for you to come back to the US after your F-1 expires if you only have OPT and have no plans or did not file to extend your F-1, or graduate. You may be turned back at a POE.
I suggest you talk to a lawyer or your school about renewing your F-1. Usually schools that take international students have an Foreign Students department that can help give you advice or even file the change for you.

That is not a problem at all. You can apply for EAD renewal as long as your AOS pending (i.e., I-485).

Thanks a bunch for your response. I'm not planning on getting my GC. - will be leaving this country when my H1 term ends. my passport is expiring and i would really like a renewed passport with a valid correct name - just dont want to keep making mistakes over and over again. How difficult is it getting an I-797 after changing the name on the passport. should i file the "action on a petition (I-824?)" or amendment to H1?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Hi All,
I am planning to paper file my wife's EAD renewal and AP for both me and my wife.
Questions:-
1. Can anyone who paper filed recently post information on filing EAD/AP
2. Since my wife filed for I-485 last year and paid $1010 fees,she falls under FEE WAIVER for both EAD and AP-I believe she can renew EAD/AP unlimited till she gets GC?
3. Can someone post what did they do additional for filing as FEE WAIVER?
Any detailed steps on paper filing with FEE WAIVER would be great.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Regards,
everonh1
mate no offense intended but if you do a search for this you will find all the info ready to be read for ya. So please take the time to do so. Some quick answers no you do not need to pay for EAD/AP renewal if you paid using the new fee structure. Also no additional info needed when you send a copy of your 485 receipt notice it states all the required info to support the no fees.

Hey Gurus,
I am in confusion here.
I applied for my I-485(EB2, PD= Dec,2006) in july 2007. I was married that time and my wife was in India. She didnt get delhi consulate appointment so i missed her while i applied for my I - 485. Now she is in US on H4 visa. I got RFE last month on my I 485 regarding employment verification. I have replied for RFE.
My Question here is:-
If I get my green card(that chances are very less because my PD are not current... but on safe side), How i can add her into GC or 485 stage.

Taxes are paid on earned money only. Not loans.
If your spouse takes a student loan in USA, there are other advantages though. He/she can claim student loan deduction on the taxes !! Not sure your Indian bank would provide the necessary forms to you or if they have a legal obligation to submit anything to IRS here.
