The "apply where your I-485 is pending" ended some time ago. The new address you see is the current USCIS guideline, and it is not necessarily the same place where your I-485 is pending. Just follow the most current instructions.

What is your priority date and country of chargeability? If you are not expected to be retrogressed for too long, then USCIS will only issue a 1-year EAD. This is their standard practice. 2-year EADs are only issued to applicants who are expected to be retrogressed for a long time.

The "paroled until" stamp does not carry any significance as long as your AOS application is still pending. The stamp also does not extend the AP document's validity. There is a difference between "application for parole" which is what the AP document allows you to do at the port of entry, and...

No it's not. Who gave you that idea? As the post above mentioned, you can still use the old one as long as you reenter before it expires, but the new one can then be used after you return and want to depart the US again (though it cannot be used to extend your current trip; only for future...

1- The answer to that depends on the officer reviewing your application. Many officers are very well trained and will know the difference between "being put on a reviewer's list" and actually reviewing papers. Other officers may consider the fact that you're a designated reviewer as sufficient...

Yes it's common. Happened to a lot of people including me, I didn't think twice about it. Just waited for about another month in my case. Nothing to be worried about.

The EAD does not confer status, but using it can make you drop out of a status in certain situations (but not all). If you were using an EAD, is it because you dropped out of H-1B status? Conversely, what your employer enters on an I-9 form doesn't change your status per se. So I cannot answer...

No problem here. The following answer is a bit too detailed in legal jargon but you have nothing to worry about in my opinion. Legally, you are officially "admitted" when your I-485 is approved, and green card holders are not officially seeking "admission" to the US when they present at a port...

That is not applicable to individuals who have a pending I-485 and who want to travel without abandoning the I-485. It is for foreigners not living in the US to enable them to come to the US in an emergency. For preservation of a pending I-485, the AP must be approved before the I-485 applicant...

First of all, "misspelled incorrectly" means that it is okay !! I assume you meant "spelled incorrectly" :) Do you have a copy of the I-765 you originally filed? If so, can you verify that your wife's name was spelled correctly on the form you submitted, so that you can prove it's USCIS' error...

You can definitely apply for an AP, but it must be approved before you leave the US in order for you to be able to use it. If you don't get it before you leave, you'll have to get a new H stamp. As for your status, if you return to the US with your AP document, you will be paroled into the US...

stump, you are overreacting. Did you enclose a copy of your previous EAD as required? If so, it will be obvious what the intent of your application is (not to mention that other questions on the form ask you about previous EADs). This is not something I would worry about. Sending letters will...

No zeros, Just (C) (9) ( ). Your wife (not you) can apply for an EAD if she also has her own separate I-485 being filed. I'm assuming she does.

Your advance parole document. And your passport. That's all that is required.

1- Did you need to pay a fee for this application? If so, was your check cashed? 2- Did you track your application (certified mail, etc?) Do you have any evidence that your package was received? If e-filed, do you have a confirmation number? Don't "go crazy" yet. After the 4th (which is...
