Thanks.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if its ok to mail my EAD & AP and spouse's EAD & AP renewals to be mailed in the same package to Texas? I can't find any posts regarding this.
The PO Box address for EAD is different from AP. But i think for non USPS carriers, there is only one address for Texas center (4141 N augustine rd).
So If I use this address can I mail all the 4 applications in the same package?
I am not trying to save money but feel that keeping all the apps together might help especially primary and secondary applicants...
Thanks.
My lawyer said we can use the same non PO Box address mentioned in the EAD to send the AP documents as well. According to the lawyer you can send it all in one big envelope and demarcate the I-131 vs the I-765 or do it like I am, in 2 seperate smaller envelopes and then I am going to put the 2 envelopes in the same fedex package and mail it out.

Hello
Thanks for looking at this question:
Scenario: I was working for company A on H1 (valid until 2010) and filed a GC through a company B (Head Hunter Company) for future employment, I have my 140 approved, and 485 was filed June 2007, have an EAD/AP. Got a RFE for intent of employment was satisfied with a letter from Company B that "I intend to join company B subject to my favourable adjudiciation". Company A is going under because of lack of funds.
Questions:
Now I am searching for a job, I am getting job offers.
1) Either I will do a contract through through Company B for which I do not have to anything in terms of immigration right?
2) But if I strart working for Company C's payroll then I am going to have to do an AC21 right or can I still hang on to company B.
3) If I do AC21 through company C and if the Job description is pretty close to the description on the LC then would it be okay or do I fear rejection? Or will I be asked why I did not work for the company who filed for my GC in the first place.
Please throw some light on the best option I have.
Thanks!
You started you GC as future employement with company A. You never joined them and want to use AC-21 which will raise red flag. So you need to need to very careful.

I also have a similar case like the original poster (TexDBoy). I want to move from Boston area to somewhat warmer area.
I have not asked my employer if they would allow me to do this, but my family wants to really move out of Boston (too cold and tough winters). While, i do have a nice job where i see stability (I have been in the company since 8 years now), I would also like to see if I can get to some good companies in the southern places like Dallas, Austin, Raleigh, Atlanta...
What do you guys think?
The last poster mentions getting a LCA.. Does that mean we have to file another Labor? I already have labor and 140 cleared and my 485 is pending with June 2003 date (EB3)

Hello
I am planning to work part time on 1099, just wanted to know will it impact the GC process in anyway
My status
Working full time on EAD with GC Employer (planning to port job and use AC21 as soon as there is any opportunity)
485 pending since more than 6 months
Thank you
As long as you are working full time with your GC employer and in addition to this you are doing a part time job on 1099 , it will not effect your GC processing in any way.

I happened to look at my EAD today, when I was looking into what my next steps are for my marriage immigration process, and I noticed it expired long before my Permanent Resident Card. Erroneously I thought the two were tied together, since I applied for both under the same auspices. Now I am very worried. 1) I have been employed the whole time and 2) I cannot afford to be unemployed. What do I do?
hot Happy Birthday Tommy!

One year for my labor had not elapsed and I had no other way to get the 8thyr extension so my attorney applied for the premium processing, it was applied on 16th and got it approved by 27th of June. If your labor has met the 1yr req. you could always apply for the 1yr extn, don't see why you won't be able to use the 1yr labor rule..hope this helps,

I just have one more question, i also have my I-485 filed. We have given our fingerprinting tests but there has not been further progress. But would these double receipts have any effect on my I-485 process?
Thanks

I had a opt which expired on the 9th. of november and on June 08 i applied to start green card process with help of a lawyer.I have a master degrees from the US and my lawyer told me that i did not need to apply for a H1 visa or a work permit and could directly go for green card. we started the process in June 08 and I applied to eta 9089 on September 08 and could not get any reply back for almost 5 months. My lawyer tells me that it is normal to not get an answer for so long even thought I think we had to get an answer in 3 to 4 weeks after September. Now, my lawyer suggests me to go back to my country as my status will be put of status and I could continue my green card process from back home.
I would like to know if my lawyer is telling me the truth or my lawyer made any mistake..
I need help!!!
You are out of status since Jan 7th. (Nov 9 + 60 days)
Who filed for ETA-9089, Application for Permanent Employment Certification? Typically it is the Employer. I guess, you are EB-2/EB-1 and RoW, since only in that case one file for I-140/I-1485 and can jump from OPT to AOS.
In my opinion, your lawyer took very aggressive approach and should have had Plan B.
Good Luck.

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/177934_bus_queue_v.jpgMajor news for relatives of legal permanent residents who have been patiently waiting for their petitions to become current. The Department of State reported in the September 2010 visa bulletin (http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5113.html) that applicants who are spouses or children of greencard holders (filed as late as January 1, 2010) can now be processed for greencards. This is true for applicants from all countries except Mexico and the Dominican Republic, whose priority dates aren't far behind either: January 1, 2009.
What is a a "priority date," you ask? A "priority date" is a legal term of art that can be exceedingly hard to explain (especially in a blog), but I'll try. Let's start with basics. There is a quota on how many immigrants can come legally to the country per year. Imagine the quota like it is a long line of people lining up for a greencard. The people at the front of the line are those whose relative petitions were filed earliest, ie those with the earliest "priority date." A priority date is established on the date that your petition is received by the USCIS. Of course, the earlier your priority date, the sooner you can later ask for greencard status. Generally, priority dates always move forward, but these dates can also go backwards, and if applications aren't received by USCIS before this "retrogression" happens, applicants are back to the waiting game.
In the past month, the (F2A) priority date in the the family-based second preference category (ie for spouses and children of greencard holders) advanced from March 2009 to January 2010! This has made an incredible difference to those who have been waiting to be reunited with their spouses and children, rather than expecting a year or more of wait, this category of new immigrants can now start processing their greencard applications. If you would like assistance in making sure that your application can be made as quickly as possible, contact the attorneys at Fong & Chun, LLP before those dates retrogress. --ecf

Guru's please help with the following situation: Labor PD: Dec 2002, Labor approved Feb 2005, I-140 approved May 2005, Filed I-485 (because of retrogation) in May 2006 for both me and wife. Got EAD Dec 2006. Got laid off in Feb 2007 from sponsoring company and decided that I have had enough of US immigration waiting and returned to home country for good in April 2007. Changed address to friends US address for USCIS records just to make sure that any communication from USCIS does not get lost in the mail. Was sure that the employer will cancel the whole GC process. But to my suprise on April 21st 2008, received the automated email from USCIS that 485 has been approved. The I-797 approval notice of action was received at my friends US address with a note that the plastic card should arrive within 30 days. This was back in April-May 2008 time frame. Well the plastic card never arrived inspite of phone calls to USCIS to either cancel the 485 or send the card.
Can someone please educate me as to what I should do get the 485 cancelled and stop further processing of my wife's 485. I am afraid that I am stuck in a situation where the USCIS records indicate that I am a permanent resident when they never fully approved my case in time, while I have been out of the US for 2 years and do not intend to return. The US Consulate here has been of no help. Will this have any overhang for future US visits/immigration for me and my wife or for my children who are US Citizens.

Hi Gurus,
I need some advice from you guys
My initial receipt date for I-485 from Vermont service center was July 7th 2007. But when I-485 was transferred to Texas service center, receipt date on I-485 is showing as September 11th 2007. Can we do anything to correct the wrong receipt dates as this might have significant impact on my processing times. Please advice
Thanks

I suggest to take the story to your local and national press... If you can afford a lawyer then consult her about possible compensation from INS for metal anguish ...
But just remember that the immigration system in this country is designed to induce insanity in normal people - that it even drove someone like John Lennon to attempt suicide .... and that he found mental peace only by going to Japan himself followed by frequent trips to India to visit Maharishi Mahesh Yogi......

EAD renewal usually takes 60-90 days.....however, you can look for the approx. timelines on https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/ptimes.jsp and look for the processing times for your service center.
My receipt date is June 20th and haven't received the EAD yet - I don't even expect to receive it before August end.
Hello friends,
wanted to see the timeline of EAD renewals currently..I have a EAD renewal receipt notice date of June 18th......was wondering how many days is TX taking to approve the notice....
Did aanyone around June 15 -June 20th get any approval yet?
