The relevant language in the AC21 clause appears only to require "same or similar occupational classification." The key word in my mind is "classification." A strict interpretation would say this means same or similar job responsibilities. But a more reasonable interpretation allows for...

as far as i know, your previous employer is sponsoring you for a future job. so once your I-485 is approved, you would have to join your GC sponsor at that point. alternately, you can use AC21 provisions to work for another employer 180 days after filing I-485 as long as your "new" job is under...

My green card got approved recently and I also received the physical card. Just 3-4 days before approval, I mailed my EAD and AP approval applications. The checks were recently cashed. Do I need to send a letter withdrawing the EAD and AP application or should I just do nothing and let USCIS...

the issue in leaving immediately after green card will not be felt now. the "potential" issue will arise when you apply for naturalization. at that time the USCIS will likely determine that you did not work for the future permanent job offer that your employer sponsored your green card for...

work for a month or 2 for 40 hrs/week so that you have paychecks to show you worked on the permanent full time employment offered by the employer and and the pay promised on the LC. note that this MAY be important only if uscis is really particular that you performed the "same" permanent job...

thanks civ2ru and ginnu for response.

My AOS got approved recently and I also got my physical green card. What happens to my I-94? Do I just tear it up, or do I need to send it somewhere, or do I need to just hold on to it and surrender when traveling out of the country? thanks!

Got the physical card I and my wife both got the physical cards in the mail today. No LUDs, no "welcome message", no "approval notice sent" since Jul 26 when I got "card production ordered." For the gurus, should I be expecting an approval notice? Or am I done? From what I read, I do not...

Notarize a signed statement from yourself affirming copy of original I am from California. On a number of occasions, I have obtained notary signatures on a form that basically states that the attached copy is a true copy of an original document. I as custodian of the original document sign the...

It is my "non-lawyer" limited knowledge that EVERYONE should file a tax return, as long as one is not treated as a dependent by another tax-payer. And even those treated as dependent should file if they have income of their own greater than a certain amount. So I would say your wife should...

Card production ordered after RFE response Just to update those who may face same situation, I sent the following: --10th std. marksheet, school leaving certificate showing DoB --affidavits from parents --passport biographic pages --driver license (India) I see "card production...

got "card production ordered" I and my wife both got "Card production ordered" on Jul 26, 2007. I saw one other person report he got "Card production ordered" on Jul 26. But apparently this morning he got a welcome email. I didn't. Very unpredictable. I guess we just have to wait and see...

Hi all, I am applying for renewal of my AP and EAD. This is the first I am trying to submit renewal applications on my own. I have a few questions for gurus: 1. Can I send EAD and AP applications for me and my wife together in the same package? 2. Assuming I have to send mine and my...

According to the USCIS update: "After consulting with USCIS, the Department of State has advised that Bulletin #107 (dated June 12) should be relied upon as the current July Visa Bulletin for purposes of determining employment visa number availability, and that Visa Bulletin #108 (dated July...

which USCIS decision do you support? The decision to make things "Unavailable?" Remember Unavailable means NO APPROVALS, not just no new applications. I guess you must be talking about retrogression - the situation where USCIS sets a cut off date and approves only those cases that fall...

thanks ginnu

Thanks RealCanadian and jk0274 for the response. Could you please point to some source where I can read up on this. Specifically, if one enters on AP how one can revert to H status at a later date. Thanks!

My I-485 was filed in CSC in 2005, but later moved to Nebraska earlier this year (Feb 2007). Where should I file my EAD and AP applications in future? Per the I-131 application form, the application should be mailed as follows: "If you filed at a USCIS service center to adjust your status as...

My wife is currently in India and she will be returning later this month. She has a valid H-4 stamp and also Advance Parole. We currently have an RFE on the I-485 application, which I am hopeful my lawyer will respond to in the next few days. Given the current USCIS fiasco, I am not sure what...
