I actually just checked it and yes my original OPT EAD (which is expired 4-5 years ago) has an Alien number on it! And yes my very first H1B approval from my first company has this A number written under 'Beneficiary' line. My H1B approvals with the new company (which i have 2) do not include...

BlueT41, are you positive on this one? I am on the same situation. I was on F1 visa until 2004, then got OPT after graduation and worked with OPT for few months. Then got H1b visa and have been on H1 B ever since. I was planning to leave A# blank as i did not even know that i had an A number...

Hmmm, it is a bummer that you couldnt get it that time. Oh well, you'll get it soon thru DV (looks like your CN is pretty low). Good luck and thanks again for the information.

Oh i see. Although you were able to apply for AOS (hence your number was current); it still takes much longer time to process. I guess i was confused since i thought once you are able to apply (which is when your number gets current); it all takes same time. I have friends who applied based on...

I have a question to those that have pending EB based AOS? Doesnt it take pretty much the same time to get GC once you apply for AOS regardless of whether it is EB based or DV based etc. For my case, i have an approved I-140, but i cant even apply for AOS since i am EB3 and the EB3 cases are not...

There is a link to medical examination info on the first page of this thread - i believe you could find the mandatory vaccinations there. Yes you need to include sealed envelope in the AOS package and keep the open copy to yourself. I dont know money savings info, hope someone else could...

Just fyi: completed my medicals and picked up the sealed envelope from the doctor. It cost $280 (i did not have records of any vaccinations, they had to do them). My TB test came out positive, so he sent me for a chest x-ray. That came out negative. My insurance paid for the chest x rays.

My number is Europe 10xxx. When i saw the october cut off at 9100, i was pretty sure that my number will be current in November. But turns out the november number is only 9500! Guess i'll have to wait till December to apply..

Thank you i2009!

BlueT41, i am in the same situation. Based on my research, it doesnt hurt to apply for EAD. It is just an additional document, no fee required. Most probably we wont need it at all, since we will get th gcs within few months after receiving EAD. But still since it doesnt have any disadvantage to...

Thank you! i will write "none" as well.

How about for people on H1B visa - do they have an alien number? I am on H1B visa and was trying to find answer to same question. Thank you.

Hmm... thanks for the reply..Basically my understanding is that it doesnt hurt to apply for it. Sounds like it is just an additional form (I-765) to include in the AOS package. But after we receive the gc (which will happen few months after we receive the EAD), it wont be necessary anymore.

I am a bit confused regarding EAD application. Based on what i read, people who submitted I-765 got their EAD cards few months before they receive green cards. What is the point of applying for EAD? Dont we have right to work as soon as we get our GCs? If so; is the advantage of EAD just to be...

I started filling the I-485 form - i have few questions: - Part 2. Application type - do we check the first item (a. "An immigrant petition giving......" -I am an H1b visa worker - do i have an alien number? I checked the I-94, there is an I-94 number and a receipt number, but didint see an...

You need to send only DSP122 and the barcode to KCC. You will indicate "BCIS" in the DSP 122; so that they will know you are doing AOS. They will send you a notification letter confirming that you are doing AOS. Good luck!

I have a question as well: As i stated before i am currently an H1b visa holder and already applied for GC through the company i work. It is in the I-140 stage now. Since it is EB-3 based, i have to wait for a long time for my number to be current. Hence i will do AOS based on DV lottery. My...

See below: 1)you dont need to send photo 2)U.S. Department of State (doesnt matter actually;but to make you feel better: thats what i did and got my stamped receipt). Good luck!

Update:I went to USCIS local office on Friday to gather some official information regarding the next steps. The officer there told me that I need to obtain the I-485 documents from the website, fill them out and send it once the fiscal year (October 2010) starts. I asked her whether I have to...

Here is my update: 5/11/09: NL from KCC 2010EU00010XXX 5/27/09: Sent DSP122 (only) + barcode sheet to KCC 5/29/09: Sent $375 DV fee + form to DOS (in St. Louis) 6/03/09: Received stamped form (for $375 DV fee) from DOS 6/10/09: Received 2nd letter from DOS Jlaw, for your question about...
