I think it means , can enter country with H1B visa stamped before entering, if Advance parole is not there
What if you have AP but not used it, instead used the re-validation rule to enter into the country, using H1. Would that invoke abandonment of 485?

as long as you enter the country back on or before Sept 30th 2010 you will be in good shape otherwise you will need a new visa to enter.

I had the same issue. Because in my passport surname was missing ( not missing but it was added at the end of my first name) that triggered an FNU in H1 visa.
But in my h1 petition it came out ok. and in I-94 i wrote my name correctly. so that was not an issue. and DL and SSN it came out OK based on I-94.
i corrected it in my passport first. then during H1 visa renewal it got corrected automatically.
even though you have FNU in visa, mention your name correctly in your I-94. otherwise every official document(SSN, DL etc.,) will have FNU as your first name. My friend suffered a lot
because of this issue and he had to go back to india and come back with right I-94 and corrected the rest of the documents later.
Hope that helps.

From the LA Times: A �forgery-proof� worker ID card, secured with biometric data such as fingerprints, is a favored idea of the new chairman of the Senate immigration subcommittee, Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.). Schumer, who will lead the effort to craft the Senate�s comprehensive immigration reform legislation, has publicly espoused the card as the best way to ensure that all workers are authorized. �The ID will make it easy for employers to avoid undocumented workers, which will allow for tough sanctions against employers who break the law, which will lead to no jobs being available for illegal immigrants, which will...

afaik there is no impact on GC... EXCEPT: if there is an RFE, you have to prove beyond doubt to uscis that you have a full time job and your job duties are "Same or similar" to what is in your labor application... however, if you asked me, from a tax and liability perspective, i would recommend going for llc/s-corp/c-corp (based on your situation) instead of 1099... even 1099 can be used for good tax benefits but is not that great from a liability perspective... having said that, if you are into software development, it is likely that you will be asked to buy liability insurance... so, it all depends on your situation...
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

Hello people,
When you contribute money keep in mind that when you get GC you are not the only one to get GC but your whole family will get the benefit. So please consider that also when you are contributing money and please contribute generously.

Hi All,
Is there a fee for filing a renew advance parole document for a application based on a I-485 filed after July 2007.
I know that there is no fee for I-765 renewal, but , there is a conflict for I-131 based on the following info:
1.
USCIS - Instructions for Electronically Filing Form I-131 (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=e650065d85cee010VgnVCM1000000ecd190aRCR D&vgnextchannel=9059d9808bcbd010VgnVCM100000d1f1d6a1 RCRD)
If you filed Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status under the fee structure in place on or after July 30, 2007, then no fee is required to also file a request for a travel document on Form I-131 for an advance parole or refugee travel document. Those applications may not be electronically filed and must be submitted to USCIS via regular mail or courier service.
2.USCIS decides 1-131 is not eligible for fee waiver - probono.net - Asylum Law (http://www.probono.net/asylum/news/article.198509-USCIS_decides_1131_is_not_eligible_for_fee_waiver+ i-131+fee+waiver+july+2007&cd=4&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us)
The USCIS revisited a response they gave in the April National Stakeholder Meeting Q & A <http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/CBO_042908.pdf> to question #7 regarding fee waivers on the I-485 application package. Their initial response indicated that a fee waiver may be applied to the I-131 (Application for Travel Document) if the I-485, I-765, and I-131 were filed concurrently after July 30, 2007 and the fee waiver application was granted on the I-485.
Upon review of the applicable law they now note that the I-131 is not actually eligible for a fee waiver at any time. The legal basis for this reasoning can be found in controlling language at 8 CFR 103.7(b) provides that "... no additional fee will be charged for a request for travel document (advance parole) or employment authorization filed by an applicant who has paid the Form I-485 application fee..."
Thanks,
Amar

I have a question regarding employment and I-485 approval. For travel, one can take the I-797 approval notice and get their passport stamped if the physical green card has not arrived yet.
How about employment? Can the approved I-797 for green card be used for filling in I-9 for employment? One can think of various situations where this might be useful. Say you have renewed your EAD/H1B that is expiring, do you file the new I-9 with new EAD/H1B or show the I-797.

Hi Guys,
I didn't find such a thread in my search. If you thing there is already one please delete this.
I want to start a thread for tracking cases which were transfered from one place to other and to estimate that if we are getting in the back of the queue OR receipt date is acknowledged.
My I 485 transfered from TX to CAL and now to NEBRASKA.
131 AND 765 says received and pending at California
package was received at Texas on 23rd July and Cal center issued notice on Sep 24.
Please let me know if anyone has similar case.
Thanx.

With so many proposals and so many amendments to the so many proposals (:rolleyes: ), which one would actually (or at least help to) eliminate the current backlogs (i.e., make the priority date current)? :confused:
We should make sure that any bill that potentially becomes a law will resolve the current retrogression issue (instead of making it worse).
So before we decide the bill to support, can anyone tell which bill will eliminate retrogression? Maybe we can categorize all the bills into the following types:
1. Will definitely eliminate retrogression if the bill becomes law
2. May eliminate retrogression or may make it worse if the bill becomes law
3. Will definitely make retrogression worse if the bill becomes law
4. Will have no impact on retrogression if the bill becomes law
:D

Purpose - H1B Visa Stamping(VISA Approval in 2008 before had F1 Visa)

I have given him both the docs. and Vo kept with him and gave me 221G Yellow letter which mentioned your docs. are in administrative processing and didn't mentioned any time frame.

Hello, I have a question I hope someone is able to answer :)
Suppose my priority dates gets current for a certain month and therefore I apply for adjustment of status (I-485) and a EAD card for my wife (I-765). If the next visa bulletin retrogresses my priority date and it is no longer current, does that also freeze the I-765 processing, or would my wife get the EAD even if my priority date is no longer current?
Thanks.
If you do not file for EAD along with the I-485 application, you can apply for EAD at any time after filing the I-485. I filed my I-485 during the July 2007 rush but did not file for EAD at that time as my H1 was valid till June 2008. I applied for my EAD only in March 2008 - when my dates were not current - and I got my EAD after 50 days.

I had renewed my passport from Chicago Consulate couple of years ago. Their website is not the greatest and the forms were also very confusing. I had created a thread in this forum seeking some help but no one had any idea about which form to use.
As I lived in Chicago area, I just walked in the consulate, filled out the form, gave them the money and my passport and got it back in 3 days.
This may have changed but if your original passport was issued / renewed 10 years ago then you will need to get a new passport but if it was issued 5 years ago then they will just renew it.
Hope this helps!
