If I'am not wrong the interview will be in whichever state you are.
So we need to choose local lawyers only? we don't have any options to Non-Local(Other State) lawyers?

I am requesting some expert answers -
Recently had family-based AOS interview with the USCIS (my wife is a naturalized citizen). One question was asked by the officer - "Did I travel outside US after filing the AOS?" and my answer "Yes - to Canada for few days - by car".
I traveled to Canada on my company�s H1B.
The officer explained that once you file you Marriage based GC the only way you can travel is on Advance Parole. Travel on H1B is possible as long as the H1 and the AOS is of the same employer. In my case the AOS was family-based and the travel was on H1B. Such a travel may be considered to be abandonment of the Family based GC process.
The officer was extremely helpful in providing us information and said he needed more time to go through my case and decide on approval/denial of my case after consulting with other officers/supervisors (I130 looks good for approval) but there is a possibility (he said) that I may have to re-file the I-485 but there is a possibility that I may be approved.
He told he is waiting on some papers which is in some other State and that will take some time (not sure what papers was he talking about)
He also said that he will also look into my employer-based GC and see if he can approve that case if possible? Well, I am not sure about that as my priority date is SEP 2004 (EB3). This he said will save me some money of not re-filing and also instead of 2yr conditional GC (marrige is less than 2yrs) I will be able to get 10 yr GC. He took a copy of my I-140 receipt.
Now, I have a full-time offer from a company and not sure what to do? What if I use my Family-based EAD - that will invalidate my employer based pending AOS - correct? And what if my Family-based I485 gets denied due to abandonment while on the EAD - is the EAD still valid or is it valid only after re-filing the I485?
Any suggestions?

I'd be interested, are you planning to do local or DC offices?
I have met with staffers from offices of both MD senators a few times (in their DC offices) and I have been to the DC office of my local Congress woman.
Let me know when you are planning to go.

no replies? cant believe i am the only one in this situation :)
please fix your profile, it helps others and helps you get right answers too given everything is context sensitive.
I did contemplate not filing for AP and keeping h1 and infact planned to get stamping; but after long thoughts i let it go. I figured not filing AP is not worth the risk.
IMO you should get AP and then travel, you sure can go for h1 stamping.

If your new employer is processing a H1 then you do not need EAD to initiate AC 21.
If the new employer is not processing a H1 then you would need to show your new employer the EAD inorder to start working for them. You say that you have the A# but do you also know the start and end date for the EAD? Your new employer needs to have all these to fill the I-9 form. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO BUY UPTO 90 DAYS TO SHOW THE EAD. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE I-9 FORM. I HAVE ATTACHED A PORTION OF IT FOR YOUR REFERENCE.
READ THE I-9, EMPLOYMENT ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION.
Employers must complete Section 2 by examining evidence of identity and employment eligibility within three (3) business days of the date employment begins. If employees are authorized to work, but are unable to present the required document(s) within three business days, they must present a receipt for the application of the document(s) within three business days and the actual document(s) within ninety (90) days.

for 482 the 2 checks of 325 and 70 and one check of 180$ for I765 should be payble to 'Department of Homeland Security', or 'United States Citizenship and Immigration Service'
The form says it should be payble to 'Department of Homeland Security' and the immigration voice 485 help thread says it should be payble to 'United States Citizenship and Immigration Service' .
Please suggest and sorry if this si a repost. I could not find a exact answer.
Thanks
-M:confused:
Why 2 checks for I-485? My attorney advised 1 check for $395! And I was asked to issue the check favouring U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service.

Hello everyone,
Please shed some light on this
I am going to a different Application Support Center than the one in my notice.
I am trying to locate the Application Support Center (ASC) close to where I live. Is there any information about the location of all the ASCs through out the country in the USCIS site?
If no how should I find/locate the nearest ASC to where I live?
The address of the ASC in my notice is in a different place. I want to go to the one that is near to where I live.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
My wife is going to apply for both H4 and H1 visa. Since marriage is in March end, she will come to US on H4 visa. Her H1 visa will be applied as if she were in India. Now her I94 will say H4. Once she gets her H1B, she will have to go out of country to get new I94.
We can go to Mexico to get it stamped and hence get new I94. If for some reason, H1B is rejected, can she still enter the US on H4 visa?
Thanx,
My advice - Bring her in using H4 visa stamped on her passport based on your H1B. The H1, even if she gets (in the 2009 quota which needs to be applied on April 1st 2008) cannot be used before Oct 2008 as all new H1s can be used only from the month of Oct. That H1B approval will come with its I-94 attached. Once October arrives, she can start working on her H1B. She does not need to go anywhere to get it stamped.
When you go out of USA on vacation the next time, she can have her H1B visa stamped on her passport.

You don't need to send anything - they already have your I-485 application. They will ask if they want. After few weeks of e-filing, I was called for "biometrics". They only took my picture, and that was it. On 11th week I got my EAD. Mine was same as yours: first EAD but having one prior OPT. I mentioned OPT EAD in my application.
Thanks bestia. I am hoping they wont need to call me in for biometrics since i already got that done for my 485. but its uscis...who knows what they do.
Thanks for answering my q!:D

Get your I140 approved. Once your I-140 approves, the priority date belongs to you forever. When you move to the next company and file for your labor again (with PERM nowadays, it doesn't take more than 3 months), you can still continue like you were with your old company.

USCIS has recently published a new fact sheet of common questions and answers for members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/Immigration%20Information%20for%20Members%20of%20t he%20U.S.%20Armed%20Forces%20and%20their%20Familie s.pdf) The fact sheet contains the most frequently asked questions that USCIS receives.
The fact sheet is worth reading if you are in the Armed Forces because the answers to some of the questions are different (and usually more advantageous) to members and/or dependents of those in the Armed Forces. For instance, if you are a civilian, obtained your green card through a marriage to a U.S. Citizen and you have been married for less than two years, you must file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=f858d59cb7a5d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD) to remove the conditional residence and obtain your permanent green card. You must file this form even if you intend on applying for citizenship a year later. (Persons who are married to U.S. citizens may apply for citizenship in three years.)
Members of the armed forces do not have to file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence to remove conditional residence obtained through a marriage to a U.S. Citizen, if the foreign born spouse was inducted or enlisted in the military and is applying for naturalization based on qualifying military service. Thus, military personnel are permitted to "skip a step" and do not need to file form I-751.
Additional questions and answers and helpful email addresses to USCIS liaisons are included on the fact sheet.

well my responsibility would change from technical to more managerial stuff, in that case I can not move EAD?
Can we change job using AC21(I-140 approved , I-485 pending for more than 180 days ) on H1 without using EAD.(so that future wife can come on H4 )

Hi Starscream,
I am currently in the same situation like you are (and hopefully were?); they are a mistake in filling the ETA9089.
The error is in such a way that from USCIS point of view, I worked during the gap of period between my OPT and H1-B transition.
So I guess I just want to know how your case is resolved? That way I have an idea what will happen to mine. ;(
Thanks for the info!
