Dependents don't need SS# to file. Only primary applicant is required to have SSN.
You need either a SSN or a TIN to claim someone as a dependent. (Iam not sure if it applies to kids, but surely to adults)

My AP online status says mailed on Sep 11 th. I have not received them yet.
My wife AP online status said Sep 11 th. We received them on Sep 21 st.
What is the normal time frame for receiving AP papers?
My wife's AP papers were mailed on 17th Sep but we are still waiting for them.
Are they sent to applicants home or attorney's office?
Thanks in advance.

Considering that "Have you ever?" has caused several posts, it is clear that such a question about the Bible does make people think. Now, why do people so many react to a question like that? Do they feel guilt? Do they feel satisfaction with their life? Do they have some secret hatred against Catholic Priests ever since they were 7 years old? Do they feel annoyed at all these constant "do they" questions?
How is it that a question about the Bible raises so much feedback, whereas a question like "Have you ever climbed Mount Everest?" would have little or no affect.
Staying on topic, I thought the end was already clear until omnom jumped ahead. :)

namm80,
Just curious, when were your applications originally sent. Also are you EB3 or EB2 and country????
I am in similar situation. Originally applied to NSC, got Xfr'd to CSC. Now CSC after processing EAD/AP Xfr'd my I-485 back to NSC.
ANyone in similar situation has rcvd Finger printing notices? I assume Aug 17th filers at NSC are ahead of us?
Also, i received the EADs in mail, but haven't received the AP even though online status reads AP mailed a week back. Any idea how long it takes to get AP after it online status reads approved?
Please share any information.

If one changes from EB3 to EB2, then priority date is lost!
Karthik,
(I am not expert) but I believe , you have to refile (New application) under EB2 catagory and port the EB3 date to EB2.

Agree with you 100%. And this does not require a law change and is relatively easy. Not very easy, but easier than getting a new law passed.
I saw a comment on a lawyer's website that recapture of unused visas can only be done through legislation and not through administrative fix..
And, the real issue we should try to address here is USCIS inefficiency.
There are a lot of " worldwide" category folks who have been current for over a year (and a few months after the 180 day memo) but are yet to get their GC.... So unless we get USCIS to move fast on the applications that are current, all our visa recapture efforts help DOS to move cut off dates further ahead.. but if past history is any indication, more of these visa #s will be assigned to Consular processing cases rather than AOS cases in USA..
So.. I think while lobbying for Visa Recapture is the right move, we should also lobby to highlight USCIS inefficiency in adjudicating cases that are current..

Myht 1: If I-485 gets denied I have H1-B to as a back up.
Think of this - you get AP and EAD based on pending I-485. Similarly, you get H1-B extension beyond 6 years based on your pending green card process. Once your I-485 is denied, your AP, EAD and extended H-1, all are gone at once. Yes, extended H1-B is no longer valid after that. You simply can not fall back on that.
Myth2 : I want to continue on H1-B even after getting EAD, I feel safer.
Think again. Suppose you came to the US in 2004. In 2007 during the visa gate scandal, you filed your I-485 and got EAD. At that point of time, you had two options. You could have continued H1-B or changed over to EAD. Person A changed to EAD. Well, once he changed to EAD his clock of "Time spent on H1-B" stops right there. Come 2010, if his I-485 gets denied, he still has 3 years of H1-B left and he can use it till 2013.
Person B decided to continue using H1-B after 2007 and kept his EAD as backup. Same thing happened, his I-485 got rejected in 2010. He can not go back to H1-B. He has utilized H1-B for all 6 years and he can not get it extended without going out of the US for one year.
So by keep EAD for "in case I-485 goes south" and using H1-B, you are killing your options. If someone has a choice between EAD and H1-B, he should use EAD.
Gurus.....any comments?

First thing is why members have found that title is scary? I dont think it is scary......it might attract your attention. Probably most of people who got scared might be using EAD or are considering using it.<br><br>
I think using AC21 does not imply that 485 will be denied.<br><br> In a hypothetical situation lets assume it is denied we need to find why it is being denied? One can always switch to h1b (with previous employer - should be valid when AOS is denied) by going to home country and getting h1b stamp on passport but even before you have to do it you can appeal in court and you will be able to stay here.
<br><br> I was discussing the same issue today with Ron Gotcher ( you can find it on his website as I have the same userid) and he said unless you are inadmissible or commit a fraud or have broken immigration law in past AOS is not denied. Just in case if you have done any of the above three things then your AOS can be denied and you can not even get any type of non immigrant visa..........<br><br> For using AC21 just make sure that:<br><br>
140 is approved<br><br>Your GC sponsor will not revoke 140<br><br>Your GC job description and new EAD job description are same or similar (title does not matter) <br><br> ONet code for both the jobs match.<br><br><br><br> If you ensure the above things then there is no issue using EAD for a job after 180 day of filing 485.<br><br> Hope this helps and people who got scared does not gives me red dots for speaking aloud.
<br><br> Support IV and make the difference for yourself and everyone else in the immigrant community.
appealing/motion to reopen doesn't allow you to stay in USA.
If employer revokes 140 then no basis for getting h-1b extensions.

I'm not doing any favor to any body and I'm just protecting my life and my friends life. Why would any H1 guy take that risk even if his Green card application is pending and even when he is discriminated purposefully based on his country of origin in POE also in USCIS? These two issues are interconnected to each other such as buying a house for living long term in US and his application is pending due to failed immigration policies even though his employer is interested to have his services at higher priority. When few rude CBP officers don't let him to enter in to US even if he has valid VISA to work in US and even if his company needs his valuable services to the slowly rising US economy, what's the point in buying a home even though selling can be done through some Power of attorney at loss in future from home country (it becomes biggest blunder of my life if I do that) ?? You would realize when it becomes your turn at the POE. 1% will become 10% in no time if you don't react.
It sounds like your argument is like my granny's old saying 'Cat(who is considered as thief in that neighborhood) jumps in to somebody's kitchen, drinks milk by closing her eyes and she feels that nobody is watching her'. I can't make that risk by buying a house in this limbo situation though I have an interest to live in US to realize my American dream since my childhood.
Yes Sir, very true: "People do not buy house to sell it". I am not suggesting that you buy a house and sell it, I am suggesting that in case you plan on buying the house .. don't get intimidated by the bad immigration experience of few folks. My point is that in worst case scenario, if you have to go back to India (which is less than 1% chance), there are ways to deal with house situation.

Got following email today on my daughters case today. NSC July Filer. EB2 I Mar 2006.
All our cases show this status now.
Any idea what happens next?
Current Status: This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred. The I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was transferred and is now pending standard processing at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done, counting from when USCIS received it. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. To receive e-mail updates, follow the link below to register.
Where in the email does it say that the case has been transferred to a "LOCAL" USCIS office? From your information it appears that you are a July 2007 filer. Please check your 485 receipt number, if it starts with anything other than LIN, it means that although you mailed your application to the NSC, they sent your packets to either CSC or TSC for data entry. Now that your PD is current, it is quite possible that this office is now sending your packet back to NSC (which has jurisdiction) and is now pending there.
I say this, because, the same thing happened to me and many others whose 485 submissions were sent to difeerent offices for receipting and then those packets were sent back to NSC.
Peace.

This should not impact legal immigrants. Legal immigrants always will have some valid documents like Visa or I94 or EAD. So what is the problem in this? The point number 2 may create some issues but generally none of H1b people will be impacted.
I knew that slowly the antis are gaining more and more strength as a result the noose is getting tighter and tighter around us (and will eventually reach our neck). I didn�t expect this fast:
Texas change in driver�s license laws in last 6 months:
1) We knew that instead of the usual 6 years expiry date, they now want to see proof of visa documents and the expiry date is set to the expiry of the visa document.
2) If visa document is expiring less than 6 months, then we CANNOT get a drivers license.
Driver�s license laws - Latest Changes:
1) The driver�s license that all non-citizens will get will be Vertical and NOT the usual horizontal. This license looks very different than the conventional Texas DL and it also has to ominous word �temporary visitor�. I was okay with word being mentioned, but making the drivers license look so different from normal (vertical and not horizontal is taking it too far). I am worried about possible discrimination everywhere wherein we show our IDs.
2) Chance of Address not possible online: Previously, its only during license renewal, you had to get that new unique non-citizen card. Now, they are not allowing even change of address online! The website says, we don�t qualify for change of address online as well. This means that even for change of address, we have to go to the DL office and surrender of our old good unexpired DLs.
Any inputs? Texans? Others? What have been your experiences? In other states, can you change your address online without any hassle?

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?
That is correct unless you have other grounds for new H1b petition (highly unlikely at this point in one's stage) - Per Yates as well as Neufeld memo,
If at any time before or after the filing of the single (combined) extension request a final decision is made on the above-stated grounds, the beneficiary of the extension request will not be entitled to an extension beyond the time remaining on his or her 6-year maximum stay unless another basis for exceeding the maximum applies.

as long as you already got the first shot you will be okay. my husband and i just got our first hepatitis b shot and we need 2 more shots after that. our doctor said to just be ready for the proof when and if USCIS asks for it. it's good you were able to get an appointment. good luck!:D
Guys,
Thanks a lot for the response.
I was finally able to get a doctors appointment on July 24th.
Now comes the tricky part:
Is the varicella vaccine required ? I have not had chicken pox as a child. The blood work showed that I need a chicken pox vaccine.
I went to the county health department today , and they gave me shots for tetanus, MMR, PPD, and one shot for varicella. They said that I have to come back in 30 days for another shot of varicella.
I am not sure what my doctor will say to this when I meet him on July 24th. Also, is it possible for the doctor to provide an I-693 with a statement that the varicella shot will be completed later ?
