    Case Status Monitor Application

    Error running LIN WIZARD; URL changed I am a proud user of your software. But this morning I had error running the wizard and on display of case status, I figured out that the INS has changed their web address and that is causing the error message. Are you going to put out a patch to have...

    Approved I-140 You can use the AC-21 with the first approved I140 so long as you have waited on 485 for 180 days or more with similar future job.

    I-140, Employer was purchased, legal name change. what to do?

    Approved 1-140 Your previously approved 1-140 is still valid. Even if your amendment gets denied, your approved 140 would remain valid. But I am not sure whether you would have to wait for the amendment to get approved prior to 485 approval. My guess would be no.

    AC 21 - BCIS Issues Memo in I-485 Portability

    It looks like after waiting for 180 days or more with an approved I140, your I485 would still be valid even if you have been unemployed after the 180 days mark. The key is the "intention to the offer of employment and it must be made in Good faith" and the employer must have had the INTENT...

    180 days for concurrent file I-485 and I-140

    Even by the conservative interpretation of Murthy's web site, if your 485 has been pending for 180 days together with an approved 140, you would be safe to use AC21. The major milestone of AC21 is to allow a 485 filer to change employment/employer. Although at the time when AC21 ruling...

    first off I need to know if this is the right address, I donot see any street address

    Yes UPS is right. Unfortunately they don't deliver to PO Box. But go with USPS (United States Postal Service) express mail. They do deliver to PO Box and you will get a tracking no. etc., You can then check the mail progress. This is what I did when I sent out my AP renewal. The address...

    After Murthy's chat session. I spoked to her

    AC21 does not implicate I140 in its ruling. Reference is been made to 485 only. The way I read it is that prior to reaching the 6 months wait period from the date of filing 485, you would have got the 140 approval. Again there is no stated ruling within AC21. But this would be the most...

    Company Acquisition and AC21

    govgc, My attorney suggested that we always keep the I-140 details up-to-date and so did I. Because if your I140 is not current, BCIS could possibly either ask you to amend your 140 or could deny your I140 and that means I485, EAD etc., Or could not even request amendment and that would be a...

    Company Acquisition and AC21

    GOVGC, Did Company C and D apply for I140 Amendments? If so, did they all get approved? With respect to AC21 letter, You can notify BCIS anytime during the 485 processing or wait for an RFE and then you can respond. Lately I keep hearing that BCIS can approve your case based on your...

    Calculating 180 days for concurrent filing

    I would interpret AC21 guidelines memo as 180 days from the date of filing 485. But I-140 should have been adjudicated favorably before the 180 days. In otherwords if your 140 was not approved by the 180 days, you would have to wait for the 140 approval. Well! roll the dice and see...

    BCIS Policy to Block Abuse of I-140/I-485 Filing

    While the attempt by Immigration services to restrict the ineligible concurrent filers do not come as a surprise, it is the actual usage of plain english that is of a lot of concern to me. If I read the Memo correctly, they refer to the underlying petition which is the I-140 for EB and claim...

    AC21 and spouse working question

    AC21 would only apply for H1. At least in spirit if you read the Memo issued by INS. If your L1 visa has already expired, then you may not be able to advantage from AC21. What you could do would be to continue to work for your company even if it has to be away from US. This way your 485...

    AC21 and spouse working question

    AC21 Per AC21 You are free to change employer so long as it has been 180 days from filing 485 and your new job will have to be same or similar to your old job. If you are laid off after 6 months of filing 485, both you and your wife can work for any employer.
