any updates ? Hi, just wondering if this is possible ? I have a 485 pending in EB3 category -- however a family petition which was applied long time ago (Approved 130) will become current soon. do I need to file another 485 for the family petition or can I transfer employment 485 to...

This is a wrong and incorrect point of view. we are better off - no doubt but this is not the end.if they cannot give GC's then atleast they should give 3 yr EAD's - paying for EAD every year is like being sucked by a mosquito slowly but surely..if one cannot send mails then atleast we should...

when should we apply for EAD and AP renewal - is it 120 days or 180 days before expiry. I heard from others that it is an easy process - anyone with experience please post . Thanks in advance

I guess the rule of thumb is that as long as you are at the mercy of a govt agency (or an employer) .be ready for anything including packing your bags and going back.

A related question ..will appreciate a reply. (since I am planning to apply for EAD renewal in few days). my wife's last name on 485 application and on her EAD is her maiden last name. on SSN (after getting EAD) however she changed it to her maiden name. now when she applies for her EAD -...

does this mean those who applied for 485 before fee increase would get 1 year ead's while those who applied after fee increase would get multi years when then renew ? I thought whenever we renew - we would be paying increased fees for EADs and hence we would get multi year EAD's ? by "we" -...

Thanks for yr reply Jack. appreciate the same ..am sure others do too since you are giving yr opinions even after getting yr GC

can anyone let me know what happens in these scenarios - I / one of us (who is on EAD) loses his job after 180 days - 140 approved. can he find a similar job and still continue with his GC. I guess yes. does he have to file 140 again in the new company ? - change jobs after 180 days - go...

I would add that it depends on lot of factors. as with most investments you need to buy low but that period has gone away. the next low in housing may be 7 years from now. quality of life is not necessarily better in a house as you end up spending lot of time on mntc. I met a friend few weeks...

does the job have to be similar ? s.ware to s.ware ?

I agree with what Jack has said above. you need to keep 3-4 basic points when you go to buy anything. - do I really need it ? yes, if you have a larger family - grown up kids and GC - is it the right time to buy ? No !! market is still at a peak - is it the best investment ? No ..stocks are...

GC / EAD is not the only issue. housing is in a bad bad shape. there is atleast 11 month supply and v.less demand + more foreclosures on the way. where will they find all the people to buy this excess inventory..immigration was one way. americans have smaller families ..so the prices have only...

No ..dont buy. it is the worst idea which will haunt you if you are on EAD. first, do you need a house ? if you have 2-3 grown children or something wherby you need space ..also renting is not throwing money ..you get a place to stay . apt owner pays for insurance (external), prop tax + mntc +...

actually bharat did some research and he should get some credit. uscis is like an old elephant ..some look at its tail and say elephant looks like a tail ..some look at its trunk ..it eats tons of money and most of the time it gives out some crap on the 15th and writes some mumbo jumbo about...

if the above happens then I will believe that miracles do happen :)
