Hi I am a US citizen and filed I-485/130/131 and other supporting forms and documents for my father on 1/12. We haven't received fingerprint appointment yet. I saw lots of people have already had fingerprint scheduled and they even submitted the application much later than I did. Just today...

agree with this point

Read the thread on top - an example of approval, you'll know what it is.

Moreover, what if the previous firm is out of business? Who can I ask for the tax paper?

confused. Today is 2004/1/14, 485 filed 2003/10/1, and you said you changed job after 180 days pending of I485. what does that mean?

one clarification: we need to be clear of the reason why "AC21" is introduced. It is because of lengthy processing time for I485 by USCIS, nothing else, meaning it's a "penalty" to USCIS itself. Therefore, 180day is meant to the processing time, not employment time. The indication is, as long as...

Re: ginnu actually, as a common sense, promotion and salary increase is very normal throughout the industry. with a huge backlog of pending I485, restricting salary to one point is just ridiculous and making no sense.

Incorrect. People who first time come to the US doesn't have I485 receipt at all. People who revalidated their H1 visa in DC mostly may not have I485 receipt at all. It is unnecessary and unreasonable for officers at entry of port to ask H1 visa holders for I485 receipt. As far as you are legal...

who told you the time being laid off is critical? it's incorrect. read the post on top.

EAD (work permit) is not stuck with an employer. It can be used anywhere

Congratulations! Your case consolidates confidence of those people in similar situation.

didn't you see other threads where people are talking about even changing jobs after I486 is filed? your question is not a problem at all.

congrats! another good example of AC21 with losing job < 180day BTW, when did you join the second employer? still < 180thday?

You should submit job change notice with BCIS after you change job according to AC21 2003 memo. Otherwise you 'll receive a NOID (notice of intent to denial) and will have to submit sufficient information in 30 days, which is a little scary to everybody

Thanks for Hope2003's post. As I interpreted, the 180 rule is applied based on the date your GC "is" approved, on other words, you CANNOT get a GC before 180days has passed while you've already changed job. The date of "changing job" make less sense nowadays and is illogical. I actually...
