Congratulations
Just to double check. Your I-140 and I-485 were approved on the same day. Right? Did you get e-mails for both I-140 and I-485 together?
Thanks

Yes indeed I-485 for NSC is showing July 13, 2006.
What does that mean to you?
It means that if your RD is June 13, 2006 or earlier and you have not received and RFE or approval you can call 800-375-5283 and put in a service request.
USCIS will respond in writing...
The law is vague.
Even the link I posted is an interpretation of law.
Can you leave day 1 after getting GC and get away with it? Maybe.
Can you leave 1 year after getting GC and be ok? Yes.
So bottom line:
Risk is reduced as time progresses.
I am not argue or debate about this...
Rajiv's Khanna opinion on changing employer after GC
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. How soon can I leave my petitioning employer once I get my green card approval?
A. There is no brief answer to this question. Let me explain. The basic premise...
Mostly Agree with mdgc
1.
a)Receipt date of I-485. This has been clarified by USCIS
b)Yes they can but after 180 days of I-485 RD it has no negative impact .
c)No.
d)Not mandatory but recommended. New employer sends letter informing of similar job and new comp.

I can neither confirm or deny it.
Ok, keep in mind this is my understanding so take it with a grain of salt.
Yes, if you are on H1 STATUS you can apply for Advance Parole and continue to be on H1B regardless of the validity of your H1B STAMP.
If you travel outside the country and...
Here is my thought on changing jobs...
If you can, get an H1B with your new employer but you don't have to.
It is always best to try to stay on an H1B. That way if your I-485 gets denied you will still be in status.
If and when you switch - if the new job is VERY similar you should be...
Assuming you are still on an H-1B and that your six years (or your extension) will not expire before approval. that alone would be a good reason to have one.
You may be able to get a second job, sometimes you are contractually obligated with your employer to not have other jobs - independent...
I'm not sure this is true or not. In one of the "government" documents I read they stated that name check was processed along with fingerprints to ensure that same person was not filing under different names.
That would indicate the name check is initiated along with fingerprints which i...
My son is 7 years old. He got his FP notice a few days after us. His was Code 2 (just thumbs). Ours was Code 3 (all ten fingers).
His was for another day but we took him with us and they took his as well.
I called my attorney and asked about FP for him since I thought it was only for 14...

This is my last update for the year. I am going on vacation and will return next year. I hope you all are able to enjoy some time off with family and friends. I also hope that at least for some of you, you will become permanent residents...
You will get in the mail. Your attorney gets courtesy copy.
No LUD change for issuing FP. May get LUD after going to appointment but not everybody dooes.
You won't get an e-mail.
Well - either you are a few weeks away or you are stuck in name check.
While processing dates have been somewhat of an indicator, approval trends after I-140 have been easier to detect.
I have seen I-485 approvals 3-4 weeks after I-140 approval if everything else is good (aka not stuck in...
