    Please Advice ..... PLEASE

    GCJhalak, I think the rate you are asking depends quite heavily on one factor - the kind of attorney you choose - Given a good attorney, I would say its around 50-60%

    Very complex I-485 case

    Vasjachlen, Based on the info you've provided - I strongly suggest you go with the appeal. But again as many senior members have suggested here - immediately take the advice of some senior and capable immigration attorneys - like Sheela, Rajiv or Carl. Do not delay - its worth the shot. I...

    EAD and valid status?

    as ginnu pointed, you need a valid H1-B or EAD to work legally. However if your I485 is pending your status in the country is legal, until a decision has been made on your petition. However, if you are in a situation where your H1B is going to expire soon and if you are past the 90 day mark...

    G28

    Goget, I'd agree with jaxen - file the G28 seperately and immediately and your AC21 later. Meanwhile, answer to your specific question - what happens when an RFE comes up again during this transistion - not to worry - once the G28 takes place, your old attorney will share with any other...

    Please Advice ..... PLEASE

    GCJhalak, Given the fact that you have passed the 180 day mark - you're safe ..say past 50%. Now here are your options, - your new employer should give you a letter stating that your new job is pretty much the same as stated in the filed Labor. - however this maynot be practically...

    Edison and Detroit/MI 485ers

    naanshi, Edison, gc949 Thanks for the response guys - I see that the group is small as of now, but however as our good friend from CSC has suggested, this will eventually grow as it did in CSC. Edison's pointers on the Dem/Rep balance in the State is informative and will certainly be useful...

    write a letter to your congressman

    Hidden Dragon, I agree with you. I think we also get together in groups closer to bigger cities and go meet our respective Congressmen/Senators in person and submit our grievances. I guess thats what CSC filers did and they did get results - so lets get together. All those interested...

    Edison and Detroit/MI 485ers

    Hi all, Can we all work something out to go and meet with our local Congressmen/Senators to speed up the NSC 485 process. I guess thats what the CSC guys did and they've got results. Atleast the CIS acknowledges it and says will speed up process. Edision what do you say? Any other...

    Bad News FROM NSC

    FunkyJunky, Hey to top all your points - they are going to support TSC reduce the backlog - somebody tell them, 'look at yourself' Is there no end to this humiliation and insecurity that NSC can give all of us?

    NSC Update

    tr22, It was pretty informative although not much on 485s. But one point under NSC sounded really funny and ridiculous to me, - 'trying to support/assist TSC' ???? C'mon - somebody tell NSC - 'Charity begins at home'

    EAD Photographs Rejected

    I had applied for my EAD Renewal on 09/29/03 - Apparently they dont the way I look in the photograph(although they liked it the first time and even issued me an EAD with the exact same picture - so I used the extra copies this time - but now they dont like it) . I have received an RFE. So...

    Urgent: Change of Job: to a 'Contract Employee'

    Vengat, The basis of GC itself is on 'Full Time/'Permanent Employee'. So from what I understand, taking up a 'Contract' employment could be risky. -MrCoolz

    AC21 without LC papers . . .

    gnkishore, As soon as you decide to switch your lawyer ( which I assume you will, when you switch jobs ) I think he will then submit a G28. Simultaneously, he will get your entire file from your old lawyer(which is a normal practice), which obviously will consist of your LC . Hope this...

    Apply for AC21?

    Vengat, I have seen a lot of discussion about 'using AC21', 'on AC21', 'RFE about AC21' etc. If I (or anyone) want to change to a 'same or similar' kind of job after being on I485/EAD for more than 180 days, do I need to inform that to BCIS? Do I need to file an application to allow...

    dilemma, suggestions pls

    hgc, I dont see a reason why your wife should not be able to work on a new H1-B if her present status is AOS. Also your interpretation of H1-B being more permanent I am not too sure, becos you always have the right to reappeal. Also EAD taking more time than H1-B? I am not too sure...
