Well, there could be number of reasons for I-485 denial....It could have been triggered by one of the three buckets (1) Labor denial (2) I-140 denial (3) I-485 denial (1) Labor denial - Fraudulent Labor Filing - Lawyer Fraud - Employer fraud - Black-listed employer - Reuse of Labor for...

Firstly, your employer cannot withdraw your I-485 application.... he can only request to USCIS for revoking/withdrawing the I-140 request...and it may be possible that USCIS may revoke your I-485 consequently....based on underlying I-140 withdrawal... If your labor is current, you can always...

Looks like I may be screwed for 2 months pay!... That's what I am hearing form colleagues....a Chapter 7 liquidation bankruptcy may protect the american firm....and I may be screwed!

Yep, I am on contract - 1099 (Independent Contractor)! At this stage, I am not even able to confirm if the Middle Vendor (american firm) has gone bankrupt! I know something has gone wrong - I am not getting my weekly paychecks and nobody is responding by email/phone from the firm. I wish...

Hey Folks, I guess this is a wrong forum to post....but I was wondering if anybody had this info - One of my middle vendors, an American firm, (for a contract project on 1099 - Independent) just filed bankruptcy and my salary (invoice payments) are outstanding for 2 months. Am I scrwered for...

Yep, you can just file for I-485 for your wife under the EB category, next month...tons of folks did that in July last year...

You can try visiting your nearest local CBP office for a duplicate copy possibly? (CBP - Customs & Border Protection Agency) I think - it's a non-issue.....Lot of people forget to return their I-94 when leaving the country...You may have trouble getting Driving License and other federal stuff...

It might be better to use a tracker like this.... http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=210458&page=4

Well, you can light up that notice and throw it in trash....since it's old info.....on FBI Namecheck.... As per the new USCIS namecheck guidelines, just wait until March 10....for the rule to be completely implemented....

I just used sworn affidavits from Mom/Dad/Uncle as proof of my birth and sent them to USCIS and got approved.... My lawyer asked me for addtional Non-availability certificate but I didn't bother.....all my friends said that was enough....and it worked for me...

Usually the person responsible gets the RFE on his/her I-485....If you both got RFE...then it might 2 different RFE's on each of your case.... Traditionally RFE's on I-485 fall into 3 buckets.... 1) EVL - Employement Verification Letter 2) Proof of Legal Status - I-94, Birth Certificate...

I agree with Jackolantern....In the new revised structure - renewals are free.....that's how USCIS justified their fee hikes....saying....it's really not that expensive.... But, I agree, this information is still shrouded in the bills...etc....and not clearly spelled out on the I-765 /I-131...

In most cases - 90% of the time - RFE means the I-485 has been pre-adjudicated and in final stages...and they are just trying to close the file by clarifying one scenario and should close in 2 weeks or less - if RFE is responded.... If your PD is not current - it really does not mean...

RFE could be anything....these are the most common, 1) EVL - Employment Verification letter 2) I-94 - status inquiry on the person to prove lawful status since last entry into US before filing I-485

> What if my current employer withdraws the 140? I know I will get NOID. My question is when will I receive it? Well usually once your I-140 is revoked - they may get NOID immediately.....or if they Adjudicating officer is lazy....it may be a while before he realizes....and issues you the...
