The large drop in competitiveness (is that a word?) in the U.S. is largely attributed to the immigrant population posting to message boards during work hours!

Hello :
My EAD is valid till August 10, 2010. This is my second EAD. 1st filed with I-485 in 2007 and second renewed in 2008.
First Renewal Attempt :
I therefore sent my papers to my employer in early April 2010 (120 days in advance). My employer to 10 days to file with USCIS (Snail Mail - Phoenix Lockbox). Then USCIS took another 30 days to look at my papers. They rejected it. Reason :
The check amount is incorrect, or has not been provided. Please review the Form Instructions for fee information. Please resubmit the application/petition package with the appropriate fees to the USCIS address listed on the bottom of this notice.
The eligibility code you provide on your I-765 requires proof that an I-485 has been submitted. Please resubmit your Form I-765 with a copy of your Form I-485 receipt notice (I-797).
Turns out my employer did provide checks were provided in the correct amount but the name on the check was incorrect "USCIS Vermont Office"...Go figure.
Further, I had never received my I-485 receipt notice in mail (filed when the flood gates opened in July/August 2007). I had however received my ASC FP notice and had used it in my previous EAD renewal in 2008. I had sent in a copy of this with my paperwork. That did not seem to have worked. So I called USCIS NSC and they informed me that I need to attach a cover letter with my application explaining that I did not receive the I-797 for the I-485.
Second Renewal Attempt :
So this time, I filed my application to the Phoenix Lockbox myself via snail mail (never efiled so thought why take a chance). I sent my own checks payable to "US Department Of Homeland Security" as mentioned in the I-765 instructions. I also included a cover letter about my missing I-485 receipt notice and sent in the I-485 ASC FP notice copy along with a printout of the pending I-485 from USCIS website.
This new app reached USCIS on June 1, 2010.
It got rejected again and reached me yesterday on June 19, 2010. Reasons...Exactly the same as before.
Needless to say, I was confused, frustrated, angry, sad...and everything in between.
Starting Third Attempt :
Given that only 50 days are left for my current EAD to expire. I e-Filed again yesterday (June 20 2010) hoping that by doing so, I will bypass the Phoenix Lockbox and will avoid the reason for rejection regarding the check.
I will be mailing my supporting documents tomorrow. They will reach USCIS on June 22 2010. The only thing/s addtional that I am sending in now are...
a) The top tear-off from the original EAD mailer (had forgotten to send it in last two times as I thought it was not necessary)
b) A request for correction on the eFiled EAD as I mentioned "Country Of Citizenship" as "USA" instead of "India" (Thanks to my frustrated mood and the poor usability of the I-765 online form).
Request advice...
I know that I will have to stop working on August 11 2010 and I can't earn for as long as I don't have a valid EAD in my hand. I also know that it does not affect my Green Card I-485 app as long as I don't work without and EAD.
So what should I do from here on? Should I wait...I still have 50 days to hope to get my renewed EAD in. Should I call USCIS and request expedited processing of my case...but I haven't even received my receipt notices yet. Should I book and INFOPASS appt...but INFOPASS appointments for I-765 are only issued if it has been more than 90 days since the application was filed?
I will really appreciate any comments/suggestion regarding my case.

Hi,
I am in bit of a situation and trying to sort my options. I got my EAD, last month. Also took care of finger printing and received AP documents also. I 485 was filed in July 07. My I-140 is not yet approved.I am accepted to school in france for one year business course, starting Jan and ending Dec 08. Max I can fly back few times from France to US, for few days (In case there is rule for not staying abroad for more than six months). Plea
I am planning to either
a) Submitmy resignation and leave US by end of Nov 07 OR
b) take Leave of Absence from my firm for 15 months.
Is there a way I can continue my GC processing, factoring that I will be out of states for whole of next year.
Your suggestions are sincerely appreciated
Thanks,
Alp
First of all you need to talk to your emplopyer before you take any decision.What if he revokes the I140.Then when you get back to US you have to start the GC process again.
Why dont you defer your business course for a yr.By that time you're I140 wld be most likely approved and then you wld have passed 180 days.That makes it easy for your GC to process.

yah I love mysql. You can store information in the db and pull it out and manipulate it. I think the most attractive part of it is that it is free and so is php, as long as your server supports them, you can get the job done quickly and well.

from Ron's newsletter
"One additional reason for making sure that you have a valid EAD at all times is so that you can claim unemployment benefits in the event you lose your job"
This is my understanding too, one doesn't have to have a continues employment in AOS status, only required to have a job or a job offer at the time of adjudications of I-485. I know one person who was able to get his green card on the basis of a new job offer at the time of adjudication (during interview process). Ron's newsletter is the first I have seen which is specifically mentioning unemployment benefit for AOS applicants. Thanks OP!!!

I am proud of IV!
Yesterday, I felt proud to be part of a crowd that is so dedicated, selfless, hardworking, fearless, educated, discplined, understanding!!
Each one of you were an inspiration. I cannot thank you guys enough for all your effort.
Logic Life's speech was awesome. I wish he can post it here too, for people who missed it. Vandana....you are the rock star we need!
Franklin is full of energy!!!!!!!
People were thrilled to finally see/meet Aman. He deserves the respect he gets from IV members!
I could go on and on......I have so much to say! Will continue the story in my next post.
Thank you all, for helping me out with everything. We were like a family...looking out for each other. I really felt sad when I was coming back from D.C. Is there a way, all of us can stay there in the White House :)
Thanks once again,
Meenal
"Full of energy"?!? Are you kidding me?!?
I was a complete slacker compared to our fearless leader, the drill sargent, the lost and found chap, the spine of organization ladies.
I barely kept it together! I strongly oppose :)
Just waiting for my flight back now - its been an experience of a life time. I have done things in the last 4 days I never thought I'd experience.
Congratulations to all who came!
The real work now begins and I'm sure there will be an update from Our Fearless Leader soon

I have sent letter twice. They forward it as it is to USCIS and send a reply back that it has been forwarded to USCIS for action. Then you receive a letter or call from USCIS that your case cannot be considered unless your PD becomes current.

I think the original question could be rephrased as follows:
Will I get an FP notice if my PD is not current?
Would someone answer this question, please?

So does that mean that if one's I-485 is rejected (Has no luck with MTR either) - Then he cannot continue after his current H1-B expires (After 0 to 3 years)?
Going back to his home country is the only option?
RXSimha, the best advice you can take is to talk to an immigration lawyer. Nobody that has posted here has stated any facts, only interpretations. If you wish to learn more follow this thread:
http://www.immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5293&page=3
Make an account and ask your question to Ron, which has already been answered multiple times. He is an immigration attorney. But do not stop there. Confirm all information with multiple immigration attorneys of your preference at your discretion.
Good luck.

If company is promoting and Apply for EB2, then the PD should be Promotion Date. Because EB2 qualification starts only after promotion. One cannot go back and get old PD and attach it to EB2 after promotion. That is unfair to people, who are already promoted and applied before. Hope this makes sense.
Why are you jealous. Seems like he is qualified for EB-2 and applied it.
Buddy, I am in the same situation with an American company for which I am working since 2002. I applied in EB-3 (at that time per the job requirements). Company is ready to promote me but I am not accepting due to my EB-3. They decided to file labor for the future job which comes under EB-2. They filed it and waiting for approval.Once I get labor and 140, yes I will use EB-2 and take the promotion. How is this become an abuse, can you expalin? In my view if you get an offer for the future job in EB-2 category and not use that opportunity then that is called abusing yourself not the law.
What's wrong there other than making some people jealous.

Can H1 be extended on basis that I-485 filled and pending for more then 1 year?
GCCovet
Theoretically yes; because for a 485 to be pending for more then one year; then the labor has to be older then one year and/or the 140 is older then one year.
I think the situation that you may be talking about is where 140 has been revoked but 485 has been pending for more then one year. The law only talks about 140 and labor older then one year. If one tried to do it this way and uscis should question you then there is no legal basis of doing it.
That being said; I do know of a case where a person did get an extension even though the 140 had been revoked. Had to be a fluke and I wouldn't say that it is the norm; because there is no legal basis for it.

My lawyer says "If we file the I-140 based on the LC-PERM, we would interfile it into your pending AOS, so your AOS would be pending based on the pending I-140 (NOT the withdrawn LC Sub)."
Is it possible to interfile if the PD is not current? My pending LC SUB and the PERM LC PD, both are not current. Please confirm whether it is true or not. This will help me make my case.

I am sure there are some hikers, walkers, joggers and runners amongst the IV membership or people you might know otherwise. This would be a great opportunity to take brand IV in a new direction.
I will sign-up too, need to loose some weight :o
