I have also noticed that my messages have not changed. My FP was done more than a month ago. Both my online as well as automated phone status messages are the same BS for the past one year..."Your applcation was received......." In fact it has gotten worse. Now the claim is that it takes between...

oops!!! My ND should be Oct'2001 :o

RD: Sept'25'2001 ND: Oct'2002 FP: Sept'2002 Waiting for approval :cool:

As mentioned in one of my other posts, apparently INS stops moving files within the organization duriing the Audit. However if an IIO is has all the required files for a case they probably will continue to scrutinize that case...THIS IS MY GUESS. Anyway its only a temporary delay for a few...

I agree that we need to be careful about the posts we make. There are a lot of people who are taking for granted the posts they see (despite the disclaimer) and this can lead to unnecessary panic. Please be conservative in the statements posted or at least qualify them (ie: if you are not...

FBI number Everone, Here is the FBI # to call: 304 625 5590. Then press 4 Have your LIN # ready. My wife called recently and they were at least able to tell us that The FPs results were sent to the INS. In fact the officer was willing to check for both of us. Some officers...

I have not checked the phone message recently but the online message is the same as the phone message from some time ago. I will check the phone message again and post.

In the case of H1 visas, either you have a valid H1 and are working for the sponsoring employer or you are a pending applicant (meaning some employer has filed but it has not been adjudicated by the INS) for a H1. In these two situations your status is safe. The general consensus is that if you...

I checked online and also noticed that they do not seem to update the messages. Our ( wife and I ) FPs were done some time ago but am still seeing the same generic message: "app received....takes 360 to 420 days...." In addition they claim to have received the app on my notice date ( not receipt...

RD: 09/25/2001 FP: 09/13/2002 EAD AND Parole approved second time.

Columbus FP Just wanted to share our FP experience. Everything was similar to an earlier post (Ganesh) except my wife did not have her EAD with her. They asked for it a couple of times and then let the matter rest. Of course we did not want to get into a logical argument with them.....It was...

Regarding expiry date mine was a year from the previous expiry date.

I had my EAD renewed (over the mail) and it took about a month to be approved. I am not sure whether it was faster because it was a renewal.:confused:

My opinion on your questions: a) Since my app is more than 180 days old and I have an EAD, I can go to a new job. Does this risk my I-485 application ? Postings on the forum suggest it might be risky legally, but you may not be asked by the INS if you have a job at the time of getting...

You have nothing to worry about. Since you have already applied for AOS, you are a pending applicant and can sit at home and wait for adjudication. You do not have to convert to H4.

You can travel abroad on a pending 485 in a couple of ways. If you have a valid non-immigrant visa (say H1 multiple entry) or if you apply for advanced parole (travel permit) when you file for 485 and obtain parole. The question is on what visa would you bring your spouse to the U.S. Remember...

A modification to my earlier post I misread your date and thought you had applied in June'2001 (not 2002). My apologies. Anyway the only thing I would change in what I said is the following. You have not completed 180 days since you filed your application. However it is extremely unlikely that...

immi007 is absolutely right. I am in a similar situation. My company has done everything to indicate that they are going to crash except explicitly telling us that they are closing down. Hope you have a valid EAD...use this to immediately find a similar job...I know it is easier said than done...

I do not think you have anything to worry about. Since you have filed as a dependent, there is no obligation on your part to hold a job. Currently your status would be legal since your application is pending. The fact that you used your EAD for some time to work does not change this. The EAD for...

From what you have described, I think you only need to worry about the period from Aug'99 till the time your new company filed for H1. After they filed, since you had a pending application, you are allowed to remain legally in the U.S and wait. During the period Aug'99 - Nov'99 the question is...
