Hi All,
I have a question regarding the status check of the 485 process. Does USCIS change the Updated date (maybe a soft LUD) before approval/completion of processing of 485 on the Case Status.
I know its a yes/no/maybe not always kinda answer but I wanted to check with those who already had approved 485s if they had noticed updates before the Approval. If yes, what is the usual timeframe after the update when the approval has been noticed.
I am sure, like me :) you must have kept checking the Case Status page like crazy once the dates were current so, please respond and I am sure many will benefit from your responses.
I am sure, many of you who are still waiting like me,already have friends who went thru this process, so, even your inputs are welcome.
Thanks,
Amar.
In my case, it did not. The I-485 application status changed directly to "Approval notice sent". Then next day I got "Card production ordered" and after that "Welcome notice sent".

Hi,
Looking at the number of 485s pending for ROW EB3 with PD of years 2001 and 2002, I do not quite understand why the dates have not moved. We need to ask this question to someone. It does not make any sense.

Remaining in H-1 status provides what I think is a very important safety net. Even if you are 100% sure that there are no potential problems with your I-485, the possibility of an erroneous USCIS denial always exists. If there are any glitches, you will be in a much better position to wait for them to be resolved if you are able to remain legally employed in the US. Additionally, you are entitled to a three year H-1 extension which means you won't have the hassle of worrying about gaps in employment or travel authorization because of USCIS processing delays. Finally, remaining in H-1 status gives your current or future spouse the option of H-4 status.

They don't get free renewal .. they have to pay everytime they renew their EAD/AP. :(
luckily right now we can get 2 years EAD for every renewal (some conditions apply).
ps : need more green <hint> <hint> :D
What conditions to be met for getting 2 years renewal? Anyone...
I am about to send my package to lawyer for AP/EAD renewal, URGENT!

Do I need to do any thing, is it required to renew AP to stay in status.
NO. AP does not give you any status, it is just a travel document. It seems as though you are in valid H-1B status and your son has H-4, though I cannot say for certain without seeing your paperwork.

If you read the form, it says Alien number. If you have one, its a simple answer, USE IT. If you had one during OPT and one more on 140, you should ask your lawyer which one to use. Thats my opinion. Always consult a lawyer but as none of us are lawyers.
now this is confusing..should we or should we not use the A# from OPT card...Anybody else confirm this

Thanks for your prompt response.
- still I feel that only because I received just now after 8 years this A#, seems to me that only at this time I'm registered as an immigrant?
That is what alien number means in English ? Sorry.
You are still not an immigrant. You are currently in Adjustee status. You will become an immigrant when your 485 is approved. Goodluck.

have you considered asking your client to hire you effective jan 20, but take unpaid leave until jan 25 or whenever they are ready to hire you?
Hi,
I am in a unique situation, any advise/help would be appreciated.
My H1 Visa and I-94 are expiring on Jan 20, 2009. It can be extended till Apr 2011 as I have been in US only for 3 Yrs and 8 Months. My current employer is not extending my Visa, so I am going to get it extended through another company, say COMPANY ABC (a Staffing company basically).
However, I don't want to be with Company ABC because I am soon going to get a job with a direct client, CLIENT XYZ, but that won't happen until Jan 25th or so.
So my question is, if I apply for extension through COMPANY ABC for now, just so that I don't go 'out of status' on Jan 20th, will CLIENT XYZ be able to apply for my extension on Jan 25th, while my application with Company ABC is still pending? Or they (CLIENT XYZ) will have to wait until my first application (With COMPANY ABC) is processed?
Basically, just want to know if a Company ABC has filed for H1 Transfer and I-94 extension before the expiry date, can another Company XYZ file for an extension/transfer after the expiry while the application from company ABC is still being processed?
Any help is appreciated. I have posted this query on couple of other posts but no one seems to know the answer! no one replied yet

Thanks for the prompt reply and need clarification on few more things....
like when the new co is in the process of transfer of h1 or after the transfer of h1 the old co revoke I-140 then ...
1) Will I be able to get 3 yrs extension or that extension will be valid after H1 transfer ?
2) How it will effect the future GC process by new Co.?
need your suggestion on these too:
3) thinking worse scenario.. after H1 transfer to new co if lay off happens...then
how things will work out to stay on H1 status?
4) what I should discuss/need to clarify with new empl before making a move ?
thanks!

California allows drivers to take test in 31 languages other than English (Driver License and Identification (ID) Card Information (http://www.dmv.ca.gov/dl/dl_info.htm))
A cop should not be giving someone ticket for not knowing English.
Non-english applicants has to answer additional test for sign board reading. As far as I know, 12 more in CA in addition to 36 standard to make sure that even if someone does not know English (s)he understands what is written. A non-English driver is supposed to understands all the signs (over sixty) including "No right turn on red" (Sign as well as the words):
- Traffic Signs
- Red/White regulatory signs
- White regulatory signs
- Highway Construction and Maintenance Signs (Orange)
- Guide signs (Green/Blue)
- Hazardous Signs (Red, Yellow)
- Warning Signs
By taking Sign test (12 questions) CA tries to make sure that other language drivers understand Sign. This has independant pass marks, does not get combined with main (36 questions).

I have an appointment on August 11th in chennai consulate and I am flying tomorrow to India to submit my documents to VFS.
Can any one tell when will the visa number assigned to the CP case?
The reason I am asking is because I am little worried if the date gets moved back after 1st week of august (From last year July fiasco experience) or some thing and I will be in India already, then I will be in big trouble.
Any insight would be appreciated.
I am curious to know why you opted for CP, since you are already present in the US. I am in a dilemma wrt CP or AOS. Thanks!

Anyone with a detailed answer like logiclife spelled out here?
No, you don't have to be employed while in EAD but do remember GC is future job, if have something to show them then you are safe.

thanks munnabhai. I have read somewhere that if I/140 is approved and visa is unavailable then H1 can be extended for 3 yrs. Correct me if its not true.

In other words, Does it matter whether I-485 is filed or not filed for a 3 year h1b extension based on approved I-140.
