Paystubs
I never had a personal experience on this ( I am a GC holder now), but my opinion is (in general for INS replies)
a) 'play it cool' .. as if you are a clear case
b) do not advertize your guilt.
c) Do not make any explanations
d) only give them what they want not a thing more...
I-94
I-94 does not need to be renewed. Even if you applied, it will be rejected as it is valid upto the duration of your visa.
I-94 may be valid (i mean at the discretion of the officer at POE) after PP expiry (happened in my case)
You do not need I94 as you have EAD & AP (to travel back)
If...
Check encashib v/s approval
Check encashing does not imply approval .. it only means that you have submitted the requisite fees and processing is happening (I once submitted wrong amount and the whole appln was returned rejected).
No July_16 I am not saying anything wrong will happen, just...
Newark INS Location ..
REPOSTING .. can someone help me on this one ?
Newark INS Location ..
I will be going there soon .. I have heard there is some confusion about which entrance to take into the building .. people have been shunted from one door to the other. I remember postings on...
Rect
I agree with that .. rect is very important for several other purposes also, you/ attorney needs to call INS .. in anycase you can call INS (802-5274913) give you details (EAD, A#) and they will tell if you over the phone and request a duplicate one
Self Service 485 Filing
Here's my take ..
485 can be filed by self ?
Yes, I know poeple who have done it. If you know someone who used a lawyer, you could take his/ her help or use this forum also
Do you have to be in the country (US) ?
No
Do you have to be in the country if...
I'd doubt that ...
as i see it .. its purely officer level processing that is delaying things ... when you file any changes, they all get appended to your file .. and once your file is reviewed all such documentation is reviewed together
.. you could also call up INS and see if a request...
..
..ins is going slow now .. so its taking a year for AOS .plus around that time (dec) holidays / snow would set in .. so slowing things further .. you can travel freely on your H1 or EAD/AP ..why worry ? I know friends who have done that ..
'485 CP to AOS' changes
No, I did not make any changes .. infact there was a time when this board was discussing that as a possible reason for delay .. so i went and checked my 140 approval .. it did not mention cp + aos.
hope this helps
..and thanks to all those congratulating me ...
SSN Card
.. the new card is needed as the present one says .."Valid for Work with INS authorization only" - not a mandatory thing but better get it done since both offices are in the same building
