Thanks SL & Lost in GC process,
Sorry for not being clear in C & D. I am in US. The question I meant to ask is about the the time that I am not physically present in US i.e. If I went for vacction in India for a month, can that one month be included in my H1B1 extension since I was not physically present in US. In other words I would file for 1.1 year extension as opposed to 1 year
One the same topic, a friend of mine got a three year extension post 6 years of H1B. When asked, his lawyer informed, if you have an approved I140 then you are elegible for 3 years extension as opposed to 1 year. Is this true. Can some refer to the right CFR's
Thanks

Submitting AR-11 does not help but it is required. I did submit AR-11 still went to my old address. But my EAD/AP approvals came to my new address bcoz of change of address submitted through USPS. USCIS sent me all the confirmation that I have successfully changed my address for EAD/AP petitions, but still managed to send them to my old address.
I hope it helps.
sathyaraj:
* Could you explain which address you sent the AR-11 initially and how did you manage to change to new address using USPS?
* Did you get any confirmation from USCIS on both occasions?
* Did you call USCIS customer service and update them with your new address after sending them AR-11?
I hope it helps.

Recently I heard about RFE on medicals for some of my friends. All of them who got RFE on medicals, entered US using AP.
Do you had any travel outside US and used AP to enter?
I used AP in Feb 2008 when we went to Australia. But my wife did use her H1b to enter.
Got RFE for both of us.
Could be. Nice Find.

If your primary physician "advises" you to go through the "same" tests then insurance companies will have to pay.

EB3 with PD of July 2006. I-140 Approved. 485 +EAD+AP filed 2 weeks ago.
I was contemplating on job change before dates became current in June and decision to accept 485....
Now that 485 is filed and this DUST has settled, wondering whether all this is worth the wait. (even 180 days).
Currently in my 5th year of H1b, by waiting out the 6 months, I'll also get 3 yr h1b ext. (and hopefully ead by then).
So is waiting 180 days the best choice? or screw all this and change! (I dunno if this AC21 etc etc is practical...same job description etc)
(I am single and those complexities are not to be considered I guess yet.
Plan is to try and change jobs on H1b and use EAD only if there is a dire need like layoff to find another job quicker)
Normally it should not be a problem assuming your present employer is nice and you have good relations. If you leave the job before 180 days and if your employer says screw sundarpn then what will you do?:)

My wife has both OPT EAD (on F1) and 485 EAD. Both are valid. The OPT EAD was applied before july since we did not know abt the july thing earlier....
Now my question is which one should she use for employment..Also if either can be used then OPT ead is preferred since on OPT you do not have to pay Social Security and Medicare Taxes
I am also interested in this topic. My wife is working curently using OPT. But, she is waiting for EAD also. So, once 485 EAD comes, she will be in similar situation.
Lawyer has suggested using 485 EAD once it comes.
Anyway, for travelling, AP has to be used. Once you travel on AP and come back, you cannot continue working using OPT. You have to use 485 EAD. So, it is better to switch to 485 EAD to avoid confusion.
I am planning to keep her on OPT till Dec 31. It will make our tax filing easier next year. From January, she can switch to 485 EAD and pay social security tax.
Let me know if you can some concrete info on this.

Thanks for your reply.
I've already called them up twice and they keep on giving me the same reason saying ASC must be busy with other appointments.
Is there any other way to escalate this? Thanks.

Can someone please confirm the renewal fee required for EAD application (I-765).
My I-485 receipt date is Aug 2, 2007., notice date Sep '07.
However, my AOS application was filed under the old fee structure ($395) pursuant to July 2007 bulletin.
My company's attorney has submitted the application without fee, and USCIS has issued a receipt notice...i.e., they have not rejected the application.
In 2008, I paid the renewal fee when I applied on my own.
My understanding is that fee is required as per I-765 form instructions (page 7). My EAD is expiring mid of August and have been waiting, but not sure what to do
1. Is there a chance that my EAD application will be approved without fee ?
2. Should I just send checks and write cover letter on why fee is required ?
3. Should I send another application, but this time with the fee ?
Should I

I got this RFE email Nov 28th. Yet to receive the letter so do not have the "response time window".
Assuming they give me 6 weeks (Jan 7th) to respond. I will request my attorney to fax and then courier the Response to USCIS on Jan 3rd(Friday). I am planning to fly back on Jan 5th(Sunday). This way when I am at POE the I-485 status is still pending. It s..ks to do all these manipulations... but this trip is long pending and some urgent issues need to be taken care during this trip.
sure. Just make sure you dont cut it too close.. I have had numerous run-ins with Mr Murphy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphy's_law).
Always make allowances for things like your attorney missing his flight back from a new years party in the Bahamas; or waking up too drunk on Jan 2nd to be able to even know the full form of RFE :)
Also, depends on what the RFE is:
* if its just EVL, payslips (possible, with your job moves), then its pretty much a formality and you are all set for your GC.
* If its medicals then you might need to scramble to get it done on time (might as well take an appointment now for around Dec 10th, you can cancel it if the RFE is for something else).
* If its something like details of your status going back to first entry into US and things like that then you want to be careful and possibly delay your response to ensure you are back here to fight it out in case you run into problems with some mistake on their side.
If I were you, I would take the medical appointment, then wait for the RFE to decide the next steps...

I fear a backlash as by now ewr would have made my company to be marked for secondary scrutiny. this is how the story unfolded
CBP --who is your manager
XYZ -- Mr ABC who is based in atlanta ..
CBP. hmmm.. can i have his phone #
CBP calls Mr ABC .. we r deporting XYZ hs papaers r not in order ..
no call back # nothing ..
meanwhile XYZ is asked to sign papers ..
I know we can refuse but those people r so intimidating and I guess if you dont sign ICE agents come in and tell you that it could take months to send you back
so poor xyz has no option but to sign and get a stamp on his passport that he is being deported
Councilor access is a myth and so is trying to call and talk to the CBP officers
and this is not a small body shop .. it has atleast 500 people working on various projects across US and those people were not on bench
i can field any questions ...

Hi everyone:
I have an unusual situation concerning my friend's mother. When he got his green card (about 10 years ago) he filed the green card application for his mother that lived (and still lives) abroad, hoping to alleviate the woes of her getting a short-term traveller's visa every time she traveled to see him.
She received her green card about 4 years ago, but she doesn't want to live in the US for more than a month. Unfortunately it also gets more and more expensive for them to make her travel to US every year, thus pushing her into a violation of her Permanent Resident status and of the recurring Re-entry Permits (that now shrank to a single year).
My friend now wants to suggest his mother to relinquish (i.e. give up) her permanent status but his fear is that once done she will not be able to return back to US to visit him. (He has already become a citizen and is not planning to return to his home country.)
Does anyone here have any suggestions of what could happen if she gives up her permanent resident status?
Cousin went through same situation recently (early 2008). Parents "surrendered" their GC's, to Mumbai consulate general office, and simultaneously applied (same day same time while in the consulate) for Visitor VISA (they were advised about the procedure by Mumbai consulate office via phone, they had called them couple of months before doing this). Visitor VISA was granted without any questions asked.
My parents are thinking of doing the same very soon.

Putting a Face to the U.S. Reverse Brain Drain
Real Life Cases
Ranga
Ranga just finished his MBA degree from a top-10 U.S. university and is currently working on his Optional Practical Training (OPT) visa that comes as part of his student visa “package” and which allows him to work in the U.S for a year after graduation. In the past, OPT students would then pursue a longer-lasting H1-B visa and then move on to pursue legal permanent residence (LPR) through an immigrant visa or “Green Card”. No such plans in Ranga’s ambitious future. With a 3.9 GPA an outstanding resume, top industry contacts and patents in his name, Ranga plans to go back to his native Bangalore and start his own company “where the real opportunities are”. Ranga makes his point verbatim “When you have to be treated like a criminal just for applying for a driver’s license and have to wait for a decade to get a visa, there is something funtamentally wrong with this syetm, and I don’t have the time or desire to wait and find out what that is”
Ranga’s employer doesn’t know yet that he’s leaving the U.S. next year, and they have made him a substantial permanent offer, which Ranga is just not interested in.

Don't be surprised if they bring a premium processing for PWD request and charge $1000 for that.
