Other than the fact that summer is not the ideal time to visit the Bahamas, you're good. Enjoy your trip.

If you filed a G28, your attorney is out of the picture. RFE should come to you straight.

Since you obviously can't use an SSN card that says "Not authorized to work" for getting a job, go to the nearest SSN office and get it updated, once you get the EAD. They'll send you a new card.

Given the above, its seems to be a clear choice. Apply for new LC/140. Port the PD onto the EB2 one and update the PD on the 485. Sound simple in theory. Will be interesting to see how it'll work out in practice. As Yogi Berra once said, "In theory, there's no difference between theory and...

Broken link. Did you disable automatically parsing links?

I haven't gotten a biometrics appointment letter yet. I've called them and also wrote to them via snail mail. I don't have any travel plans for the rest of the year so not in a hurry.

In that case, wait a "reasonable amount of time" and still don't have the cards, then go. Also call the service number and ask about the cards so that you can prove at the Infopass that you already tried that route. If you try to book an infopass for not having received the card, the website...

Once either (or both) of you use AP to enter the US, either (or both) of you will automatically be on Adjustment Of Status and will lose the H1B status. If you want to retain H1B status, you will need to get it stamped and enter the country on H1B. It's your manner of entry that will determine...

First off, congrats on your GC. Enjoy. Second, if you are the primary, no need to worry. Your wife will get approved. It'll only take a little longer. Third, an RFE is just that. They're processing stuff and realize that they need more docs. That's about it. Don't get tense. They're not out to...

1. Not getting the card is almost an administrative matter. You're approved and that's what matters. However, you SHOULD follow up and try to make sure that you get it asap. Most likely they're missing your biometrics. I haven't received my cards either and it's 'cos of the biometrics. 2. Most...

Don't worry about prior preparation. Wait for the notice and see what it's asking for.

Congrats! Your patience has paid off... Enjoy!! :)

Google for FBI NNCP and you'll see a good amount of information. Your PD is 1997???!!! Wow. When did the LC get approved? There seems a big hiatus between the LC and 140. The NC can take between a few days to 5 yrs, going by the past. However, they have made some changes and it's not that bad...

If a PPS results in an I-140 approval, resulting in a PD earlier than yours AND this applicant puts in an I-485 when the PD becomes current AND his PD is earlier than yours, AND your 485 doesn't get approved before he completes his 485 application, then yes, your 485 *could* be slowed down due...

I agree. Put a hold on your check at your bank. It'll bounce with the USCIS and they'll send back a notice asking for maybe a new check or whatever. Ignore the letter and enjoy. :D It's being prudent and financially wise and not cheap. No point in paying for something that you don't need and...

Don't worry. Even if the old employer revokes the I-140, the USCIS will send you a notice of intent to deny (NOID) your I-485, at which point you can use AC-21 with the new employer's support and continue the ongoing 485 application. Also, if you used your current employer's attorney, file a G28...

What is the PD? This is an important point which might decide whether the extra effort is worth it. Also for how long has the 485 been pending? This might give you extra freedom. You obviously qualify for EB2, assuming that you worked for those 6 yrs in software and continue to do so. I'm...

Yeah, just call them up and ask them what the f*** is going on! :)

Typically, an RFE HAS to be responded to in 30 days or less. If you're confident that your lawyer will competently handle the RFE and that you can support him with any material needed remotely, fine. Or else I'd advise that you postpone your trip till the RFE has been responded to. I once had an...

What about leaving before getting the GC? In case of AC21, a lot of applicants are leaving the original sponsoring employer, as long as the job is same or similar. Some would argue that AC21 would fall into a different category, as that's done under the auspices of the law and the USCIS, but it...
