Leo, I was told it can happen in weeks or two years. My case is similar. I140/I485, EB1 - Concurrent filing 04/05 Approved 6/05. FP 7/8/05 FP received 7/20/05 I485 ......?

We went from a processing time of 10 months to 12 months in 60 days.

Thanks everybody for your feedback.

Yes, I changed my address and called customer service to have it changed in addition to filing the requested form. But this happened late June.

A follow up note in case this may help someone going to Buenos AIres for H1 renewal. I requested appt for H1 renewal one month ahead but as of July, it is possible to obtain an appt the next day. We went for interview in Buenos Aires on 07/18. The interview went smooth. Took our fingerprints and...

Cdian. It took almost a month for me.

A FU note. I went to Argentina and had successful H1B renewal stamping and enter the US OK. Still waiting for 485 approval.

I wonder if anybody has had this experience before. EB1, concurrent filing in April 2005. 140 approved in JUne 05 FP on 07/08/2005 FP received on 07/12/2005 (email received on 07/13). On JUly 27, I received an email stating that: "Application Type: I485 , Application to Register...

I have no idea. Same situation. EB1 I140-I485 filed concurrently on April 05 I140 approved in June 05. FP on July 05. FP received on July 05. I485......??

I think that when you got your passport stamped, you are all set and should be able to travel. You are a PR. You are fine ------------------------------- I am not a lawyer, just trying to help.

If you overstayed, your visa is void. You no longer have a valid visa. You need a new visa. So if you exit the US, can not get back in. You need to go to your country and apply for a new visa. However, the immigration and nationality act established among the aliens ineligible for visas...

Although AOS can be denied based on violation of status or overstay, they are a bit different. In 1996, my I-94 read D/S. Since my IAP 66 was screwed at ECFMG, I had a status violation, but I did not overstay (overstay is remaining in the US beyond a certain date on the I-94. The consequence for...

I think it depends on the situation. I spoke to my lawyer in detail of what has hapenned to me and he said I will be fine. He does not think it will affect negatively the I485. In fact, there was no fault of my own when the out of status occurred and as soon as I realized that it has happened, I...

The filing fee and the additional fee must be paid by the employer. You can not pay that. But since the payment can be done through a check (company check) or money order, I guess you can buy the money order and place the name of your company as the payer. DO NOT SEND A PERSONAL CHECK...

For a J1 visa holder, out of status occurs most commonly when J-1 extension is not processed in time. You were not out of status. You terminated your status and left the country, therefore you did not violate your status. You should be OK to come and do a waiver here since you have not returned...

the immigration and nationality act states in the Sec. 212. [8 U.S.C. 1182]: (a) Classes of Aliens Ineligible for Visas or Admission.-Except as otherwise provided in this Act, aliens who are inadmissible under the following paragraphs are ineligible to receive visas and ineligible to be...

I had exactly the same issue. In fact, based on my passport, the officer stamped everybody in my family with the expiration date on my passport rather than the H1 date. When I got my new passport (was mailed to me, I had already applied in my home country) what I did was I went to the local BCIS...

Thanks Jaggy. I do not have AP. I have still a valid H1 (until August 31st) and I have the approval of the H1 renewal for which I need the new stamping if I decide to leave in July. When I was asked by my lawyer if to go for AP or H1, I decided to continue using H1. I am wondering if I should...

Thanks for your feedback. In fact I stayed in Argentina (my home country) from July 1st 1998 to November 18, 2002. I did pay the two-year rule requirement. My doubs about the "out of status" related to some articles warning about traveling outside after filing I-485. My lawyer did not give much...

As far as I understand, you can go out and return in AP. When you come in, you would become a parolee. You would need secondary inspection at POE, but you don't necessarily need to have your H1 stamped if you have AP. I think you should be OK. Perhaps one of the other Gurus may want to give you...
