Hi All,
Please let me know, based on your personal experience, Does Change of Address 'triggers' an RFE from USCIS????
I recently found a project (after many months) and am working for this new employer on EAD. However, I have not vacated my old apt....still paying rent and keeping it as my current one, and sharing accommodation with others in the new city where I am working....because of the only reason that I fear, which is an RFE.
Please let me know.
Thanks.
This topic has been discussed a lot in this forum. It helps to do a search before starting a new thread.
I recently changed my address via online AR-11 and no RFE so far. My change of address was within the same zip code though.
AR-11 is mandatory so please file it.

I opened a service request last week regarding the pending I 485 case. Today I got the following letter in mail. "We are actively processing your case. However we have to perform additional review on this case. Contact us after 6 months." . When I opened a SR last year I got the same response.
I was wondering is this a standard SR reply or is the case really under additional review ? I know my name check got cleared long back ( info pass ). I think additional reviews are done by Department of Homeland Security and probably USCIS put the case on hold until DHS clear the case. Since my case is in limbo for over a year, is there any way to speedup the "additional review" process ?? I am thinking of sending all the "additional review" mails I got along with the case details to senators. Please let me know if anybody got any better ideas.
The same thing happened with me also...........this is just plain BS to put us off for atleast 6 months. USCIS does not even tries to find where the hell the case is and will send you the standard letter.
Let all know the outcome of contacting the senators and I might just follow your foot steps. I know for sure that my case is just waiting a visa # still I had opened up a SR to know where abouts of my case.

Thank you Prashanthi for your reply.
I have a letter (it's in email format) that shows my lay-off is because of "lack of work". However, this letter is for the time before my GC was approved. I suppose that I need to get a letter from the company dated sometime after my GC approval date in order to present that in the time my citizenship process to justify that the job offer was not speculative; right?
That might also possible to get a letter from the company that shows they are willing to hire me in case there's a new project; thanks for your comment on this.
I think as Attorney Prashanthi mentioned, uscis might consider the current economic situation as well but b/w now and 5 yrs uscis might have updated laws too.

Any updates on the RFE? wish you have solved problem. Realy want to hear about it cause I am in the same hot water now.
Friends,
This is my first post.Any inputs would be highly appreciated.
My PD is jun 2005 (EB3) and i submitted my AOS in jul 2007. I got laid
off from my company on March 13 2009.My company lawyer told me that
they wont send anything about my GC application but they will have to
send notification revoking my H1B to USCIS as per the law. I guess
this could have triggered my RFE. I applied for EAD immediately as an
AOS applicant and got it on march 31 2009 ( for 2 years)
I recently got an RFE asking me to re-submit G-325A ,Current
Employment verification letter and proof of employment after march 13
2009 ( this could be my EAD,I-797C for EAD or I-94: further confirms
my suspicion about revoked H1B triggering RFE). Right now I don't
have a job and it doesn't look like i will get any before may 31st
2009 (the deadline for answering the RFE). What are my options?Here is
what I read and thought
Option 1:I have an EVL from my last company dated march 2 2009.Can I
send that ?In my G-325A I would though need to mention the exact dates
with no present employment.Can it lead to automatic denial and make me
illegal? Should this be an option? My assumption here is that the RFE
is just to complete the documentation and that the case will be
adjudicated when my date becomes current.Before that I should be able
to get a job and send the paperwork.
Option 2:I also read on Internet that I can send a future intent of
employment letter/good faith letter from a consultant/company saying that they will hire me in future. Does this or can this work? If so what could the
possible language of that be? This can give me time till my date
becomes current (which should be good enough to find a new job) .
Option 3:I talked to a consultant and he is ready to give me a EVL .
For this he would need to put me on his payroll ( obviously at a big
cost) .He said that i would have to be on his payroll for atleast 3
months( so that he is safe).This way i get EVL.Cost is too much and difficult since my income is current not there .
I really don't know anything beyond this. I would really appreciate
your opinions on the feasibility of these options or any other ones
that might exist. Right now I am lost and dont know what works best
for me.
To maintain my status is filing COS(I-539 ) for B2 (tourist) a good option?
Thanks and really appreciate any input.

my knowledge is also limited...
but from my J1 days this is what i understood:
J1 is NOT a dual intent visa.
All J1 have some requirements to fulfill before applying for GC
For physicians it is a 2 yr Home requirement OR underserved area practice
For researchers etc a No objection is needed from the home country for a waiver
Therefore you cannot file for adjustment of status while still on a J1 unless you have the relevant waiver. It will certainly be rejected.
Physicians who get a waiver move to an H1 during their 3 year practice requirement. The NIW is a special case here, 485 filing is permitted but no approval till 5 years are over.
hope that's helpful.

i know. but psychologically it's soo hard. and counting towards the 180 days makes it even harder
What if USCIS had not screwed up by using all "C"s in July bulletin? You would not have even filed AOS !! Think positively. And don't show even a sign that you are waiting for 180 days; just count them inside. Until then your sponsor can pull the plug anytime by revolking your I-140, and if that happens, you are back to square one.

I don't think so.. Back in 2002 I was in similar situation (f1 to h1) and to best of my knowledge I was only able to get part of my federal taxes back.. In fact I remember paying some additional state taxes at the end of the year.
If I was on F1 full time for that accounting year then they would have given my taxes (not ssn or medicare) back but I switched to H1 and made more money, which pushed me into a different tax bracket.
Hi Guys,
I would like to know if we are eligible to claim our withheld medicare and soc.sec taxes for the year 2008. I was working initially while on F1visa and changed to H1B halfway through the year 2008.
Will appreciate if u could help.
Thank you in advance.

Here is the problem with your case, in my view.
You can use AC21 after 180 days provided that (1) The underlying I-140 has been approved or (2) The underlying I-140 is otherwise APPROVABLE at the time of adjudication.
In your case when you filed for a new I-140 from Company B, it is still pending. Your argument of using I-140 from Company A, COULD make the underlying I-140 from Company B unapprovable, which will also be the case incase Company B withdraws the I-140 petition, prior to adjudication.
If this happens then the I-485 petition will be invalid because the underlying I-140 (from Company B) is not approvable. It will be a long time before you really know this, depending on when they adjudicate your I-485.
Then the only recourse left for you would be to file a NEW I-485 using the I-140 from Company A. Looking at the current PD trend, this could be years before you are even able to file.
As for what ItIsNOTFunny says, about I-485 being your personal application, and not company's, this is true but always remember that I-485 is very closely tied to the I-140 supporting documentation (Bfeore 180 days and especially if it not yet approved)
If I was you, I agree with other people are suggesting, if you want to keep your 485 application in process, you should try to wait it out till the I-140 from Company B gets approved. But again, everyone's personal situtation is different, so this is just a suggestion.

i woudl think the actual number porting is miniscule...
but what i dont understand is why is USCIS hiding the data..why cant they reveal the exact number of application... and at what stage they?
Even an annual release would be very helpful...:confused:
Oh yeah , talk about that, there were few posts few months ago, that the great uscis had 4-5 diconnected databases and hence they had some project they were planning to centralize their dbs so as to arrive at a number.
Now God only knows how that project is going on (as per schedule), only after that is done can we know the exact number........
Comon USCIS hire some h1b's these guys will work their ass off to finish the project on time....

- 485/765/131 submitted in Aug. Receipts are in with Oct 1 as the date. Why would they mark a date in October on the notice even though they physically received the applications on Aug 15th?
- Should I be receiving an EAD 90 days from Aug 15th or Oct 1?
Contact USCIS and let them know that the application was delivered on Aug 15th.Open a service request.
- My H1 will expire by the end of the year. Should I be concerned? Do I have to do anything if I receive the EAD before it expires? Assume a case where I get my EAD approved and for some reason, my wife who is on H1, fails to get her EAD before the end of this year. Do I have to file for her extension, or take some other action?
H1B expiring shouldn't be of concern.Once your H1b expires you are in Adjustment of Status.Inform your employer to change the employer verification details in I9. Ask him use the EAD instead of H1B.
As far as your wife is concerned it still doesnt matter whether she gets her EAD or not before her H1 expires.But she cannot continue to work once her
H1B expires until she receives the EAD .If I were you I would extend both the H1b and stay on h1b until possible.
- When can a person safely switch his/her employer? 180 days after filing the application or after receiving I485 approval?
180 days after filing for 1485 provided your I140 was approved.
- Can a spouse work on the basis of the receipt notice from USCIS, or does she need to have the EAD approval?
NO.She needs EAD card. Approval notice cannot be used to work.Thats illegal.
- How long (currently) would it take to receive the Green Card in hand? Are there enough numbers available with USCIS to allot GCs to almost everyone who qualifies?
Once approved anywhere from 7-30 days you might get the GC by mail.
I dont know whether there are enough numbers.I won't even speculate.
- Would I get the fingerprinting notice directly or would my employer receive it?
You would get a copy of the FP notice.
- What other formalities would be left after (assuming) 485/765 are approved?
765 is EAD.Its a interim benefit while your 485 is in process.485 is for adjustment of status.Once 485 is approved you get the GC. There are no formalities.Have fun and njoy
- Does anyone know of a good site that shows a workflow of all these stages in a Green Card process?
check out this 485 SOP (http://www.immigration.com/newsletter1/uscissopprocd.pdf)and there are more if you can google it.
Goodluck

2001 - dot com bubble burst;
2008 - finance bubble burst;
Our GC journeys have spanned 2 recessions and we could not even take advantage of the slight boom in the middle...how pathetic.
Dates were current till 2005. They were again current in between.
So it has been a game of luck. Many people got GCs and may even have citizenship by now. Until 2005 your luck depended on the state your labor was filed from.

Your lawyer does not know what he is talking about. There is no need to do anything. If you were on H1-B and still working at the same company, you are still under H1-B not under EAD no matter how you entered the USA.
You will lose H1B status if and ONLY IF, you use EAD.
AP is only a re-entry permit and has no effect on your immigration status.
Vivek -
I have similar situation.
Now, my H1b expires in a few months. I am wondering whether I am eligible for H1b extension as I have Parolee I-94.
Please let me know. Thanks

I don't have the I-797A's I-94 which was attached to the bottom since I had to submit that in Jan 2009 when I'd visited India and come back to the US with H1-B stamping. I do have a copy of this I-797A's I-94...would giving this copy be better than not providing any at all? Thanks, Vick
You are actually expected to provide the latest I94, I believe that your employer may have filed an I9 based on your latest I94, just find the I94 # and the local customs and immigration at the airport should be able to issue you a new one. If you have a copy or the number of this one it would help.
