helpout is right; you still continue to be on H1 as long as you don\'t activate your EAD by
taking up a part-time job or by switching employers using EAD. But more importantly, you need to get married before your I-485 is approved, get her here on a H4 and add her to your I-485 application...
Depends on Service Center; in case of NSC, I believe the receipts are being sent
around 3-4 weeks from the date the application is received; the receipts go to the attorney.
RD stands for \'receipt Date\' i.e. the date INS receives your I-485/EAD/AP application;
alien number is a 8 digit number starting with an A (it\'s usually referred to as A#); you will find it in your i-485 receipt somewhere near the applicant\'s name. Receipt number is the number you will use...
This is what the IRS states when it issues you a ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number)...
"Your ITIN is not a Social Security Number (SSN). It is for income tax purposes ONLY."
This clearly means that the ITIN cannot be used for any purpose other than filing taxes.
No; neither passport nor the school leaving certificate can be used.
The INS won\'t even accept a Birth Certificate issued by a hospital; it has to be from the local government (e.g. municipal) office.
A friend of mine was in the same situation wherein he had a BC with no name on it; he...
I guess, they did away with IRS-9003 after mid-September; to the best of my knowledge
the documents you are referring to serve as supporting documents for the \'Affidavit Of Support\'.
My lawyer asked me to skip the section relating to \'Sponsors assets and liabilities\' ;
but you still need to complete the remaining sections in Part 4. Also, I did include my latest bank statement along with my I-485 packet.
My 2 cents...
I am assuming that the legal document you are referring to is not from a municipal office. In that case, you need to get hold of a \'Non-availability Certificate\' from the municipal office stating that your birth has not been recorded; in addition, you need to produce two...
PD is the date an applicant\'s State Labor is filed if
\'Labor Certification\' is needed; in cases where LC is not needed, the PD is the date of filing of I-140.
ITIN query
When the IRS issues a ITIN to an individual, it specifically states that it is for tax purposes only; all along I was assuming that it can be used only for filing taxes. Have you come across anyone using it for opening bank accounts and obtaining a Drivers License; just curious.
EAD and SSN
Sometime ago I enquired with my lawyer about the implication of getting a SSN for my wife who is on H4; she recently got her EAD and has no intention of working right away. I wanted the SSN for her so that she could start building her credit history and get a DL. My lawyers opinion...
In my opinion,
you can apply for I-485 now, and then add your wife after marriage. She can enter the US on a H4. As regards OF-156, you would answer \'NO\' as you would not have filed a immigrant visa on her behalf before she arrives in the US; here I am assuming that you will add her to your...
You can file for I-485
and add your spouse later but definitely before your I-485 is approved. It becomes difficult if you marry after your I-485 is approved. For more precise information read the following link :

Good Luck
Hope this helps :

2) No. You do not lose your H1 status simply by obtaining EAD. You lose your H1 only if you activate your EAD i.e by taking up a part-time job or if your current H1 expires and you have...
