Can i request Chennai consulate, via fax, to open a FTJ case? Its employment based. I want to fax them all the requisite documents before sending them in the email. Anyone have a fax number and definite answer to my question? Thanks

ur best option is to apply for a new H1b for urself. u can do that with your current i-485 sponsoring employer. This should not have any bearing on ur GC application. once you get your H1B status back. Your wife will automatically qualify for H4. DO NOT FORGET to send a letter to the...

is this for real?? it will be a big step towards sanity and order in chaos. any educated confirmations or expert opinions?? if this thing has any chance to pass??

u should take an infopass appointment, online, and meet with an officer to review the case and get hard facts from their systems. take copies and receipt numbers of both old n new i-140 n i-485 applications. dont wait any further.

hz1997, Pls. share your findings, between all of us we might be able to solve this puzzle, conclusively. Thanks

No. Thousands of H1B workers travel every year on H1B visas while their i-485 is in process. If u ever choose to switch employers, do a H1B transfer and file AC21 after the H1B is approved. Dont waste ur money on maintaining EAD and AP too. Good luck.

Under 245(i), if u leave the country that will lead to an automatic cancellation of a pending i-485 application!!! Some people believe that US POEs don't carefully track the exit dates and only cares about entry dates into the country. but it is a very risky proposition and will potentially...

It was suggested that using Blue for signature will avoid confusion with photocopy.

'Of all ur questions. I have one straight answer with out consulting astrology. Once the i-485 is approved, get an infopass appointment w/ a local ins office and bring a print out of the on-line status and receipt number for i-485 and request the officer to stamp ur passport. Explain to them...

i-485 is for future active employment at the time of approval. u being on H1 has no bearing on ur i-485 processing. use ur H1 for work n travel until i-485 is approved. This keeps ur non-immigration history clean and less confusing. do ur FPs on time, and keep checking on the name check...

if u have a H1B visa, use it. dont waste money n time on renewing ur AP and EADs. unless u have plans to switch employers. i let my AP n EAD expire after the 1st time and stayed on H1B untill the i-485 was approved.

If you come back on AP, ur i-94 will be stamped as parole. ur status will be a parolee, just cuz u used ur advance parole. This also keeps ur i-485 alive. onemore thing to keep note of, at the POE the officer will stamp ur i-94 upto 1 year from ur date of arrival. this could be beyond ur AP...

mjraj123, What process did u follow to validate/verify with USCIS that its was indeed a bonafide approval?? do u have to hire an attorney to follow the process? how long did it take u from start to finish? Thanks
