Information Needed for Special Registration

**smr289** · 10th March 2003, 06:05 PM

I went to the local INS office for Special Registration last Friday. Everything went out well. At the end of the interview, she told me lots of dos and don'ts. I couldn't remember all of them.

Now, my big question is "When do I have to re-register?" Is it after 1 month, or after 1 year?

I've over stayed my F-1, but took advantage of 245(i) before April 30, 2001. Now I have the following:

Labor Cert.
I-140 Approved.
EAC valid until Sep 2003
I-485 FP Done Oct 2002
I-485 Pending (Receipt Date Aug 2002)

Any idea on my situation guys?

In case you do not know yet, you will have to re-register a year later within 20 days before or after the date of your first registration.

Dude, I know I need to register again next year. I haven't registered yet. That's why my question was that since I was previously out-of-status, but have a valid EAC and 1-485/245i pending now would there be trouble? Do you know of anyone registering smoothly with my situation? If you do, please let me know. I am very worried to go.
