    You are not supposed to mail the card. She can still use her AP since GC was approved while she was away...

    I-485 Approved..travelled outside of the country

    If your wife's green card has been approved, her H4 visa is invalid. SO she cannot use that anymore. She should be able to use AP to reenter.

    I agree with Pradeep. If the case is presented properly, there's a good chance for EB1-EA. But do not mention that you reviewed papers for your advisor.

    Travelling with I-485 pending.

    If you have valid AP, keep it with you incase your I-485 is approved while your are outside US, you can enter using AP. Approval of I-485 cancels the H1B status immediately.

    H1 to EAD to H1

    I did not say that. What I meant is that your previous H1 is valid as long as you are continuing to work for the previous employer (given that it hasn't expired) and do NOT start the new job. however the issue date of the new H1 could be before the current one ends. As soon as you start the new...

    H1 to EAD to H1

    Yes, the new H1 will be effective now on (from the start date of new job). before that older one remains valid if there is an overlap. it is similar to going from one H1 profit to another if someone changes job. Only difference between acad-H1 and industrial is that there no quota. however, the...

    concurrent I-485 EB1-EA checklist

    The employment letter is not needed for eb1ea. i just mentioned if possible as a supporting doc, may be without noting the termination date. but again it's not needed.

    Traveling with AP while I-140 (& I-485) pending

    Yes, you are supposed to staple the I-94 in your passport and give it to the airlines when you leave the country. If you use AP to reenter without H1B stamp you get a I-94 valid up to 1 year. You make sure you work for your H1b sponsoring company and file for an extension to remain in H1B...

    RFE issued on I-485 (EB1-EA)

    Yes, generally they deal with the family cases together. His/her RFE could be related to birth or marriage certificate or proof of legal status. did you both do the TB skin test and submit the results?

    Planning to Apply by EB1-A

    I agree with others, your case looks a little weak. Also remember a key thing in getting EB1A approved is by establishing national & international acclaim. This can be done by very strong letters from independent experts from different countries, showing invitation by independent...

    140 denied, planning to appeal, question about legal status?

    just a quick question, is that J1 visa still valid, since she already applied for I-485? As far as I understand J1 is not dual-intent visa like H or L. I know F1 visa status gets invalidated if someone applies for AOS. So please check with an immigration attorney.

    concurrent I-485 EB1-EA checklist

    nightsman, I logged in after a few weeks and saw your pm. Looks like you got the list fine. But remember there's always a risk for concurrent filing. if your I-140 is denied for any reason, the I-485 is automatically rejected. You lose all the money. however, generally the processing time of...
