Concurrently filed 485 & 130, wondering if we can get more updates than provided by G-1145 E-notification of Application/Petition Acceptance? I saw on the USCIS website this link for case updates: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/selectusertype.jsp Can we sign up for this also if my wife, US...

My lawyer advised me to include all non-blank passport pages since last entry to show maintenance of status since last entry. However, I am wondering what is the need of this other than my last visa stamp page, last entry page and front and back of i94 on entry and i94 from h-1 renewal within...

Thanks! Do you see any issues with providing them with the front and back of original i94 card at entry and also the new i94 departure card provided with my h-1 renewal received based on petition by my new employer and received in the mail?

Thanks. Additionally, my h-1 visa stamp is from 1998 and 485 asks for a copy of visa stamp if within last year, any benefit in providing this to prove legal entry with the front and back of old i94 and new i94 departure card supplied with h-1 renewal?

Went out of status from H1 around 2002, wondering if there is any benefit to applying for Travel Document as it is free if filed with 485? I am aware of the ban of 10 years for more than 1 year overstay but I was wondering if there is any benefit to having this document in hand if the Green...

Thanks Jack, then I will have to locate that A#, not sure if an A# is issued at the 130 approval stage for derivatives back in 1988 when it got approved and I aged out since and thus no correspondence from USCIS for me while waiting for visa availability but only for my natural parents who got...

The i130/485/g325a asks for my Alien Registration Number on current petition through US Citizen Spouse. I was in a student status and later transferred to H-1B so I should not have one except for my OPT which gives a temporary A#, which several sites recommend not to put particularly this one...

Thanks Jack! With a good, proven lawyer, costing any where from $10 – 15k at least in the San Francisco area, thought I will post my remaining concerns to see if it is really worth spending that much from my 401k given that I was laid off last September and without unemployment benefits and...

Thanks Jack. I agree. Are you saying that they won't even bring up working with my Social Security Card because I am married to an US citizen? If they bring it up, what should I say. Do I need to get a good lawyer in my case?

Thanks, referring to parents travelling to India, I have not left the country since going out of status. Will such employment be forgiven, how should I address it during the interview and application process. Do I need an experienced lawyer?

Hello all I am in the final stages of filing through my US citizen spouse and want to get clarification. In 2002 when I lost my H-1B job lawyers suggested working with my legal social security card without any restrictions from my high school days in the mid 80’s and valid current driver’s...

Thanks Jack! On the i765, employment authorization application, it asks if one has received an EAD before and to provide a copy of it. This will have my A# from my OPT days, so it does not look like I can get around it for better or worse.

Thanks Jack. As for AR-11, I was planning on putting I am in the US as a "Other" and in the "if other specify" field, "h1 expired, filing petition via us citizen spouse". Do you see any issues with this? Also, when asked for an A#, the closest I have is the A# from my practical training (OPT)...
