Just sequeeze out these days and find a job in similar category soon after the 180 day period. If not then at least get...

    I-485 denied ... stating that I missed FP appt.

    Sorry. Do not have false hopes and plan realistically. Priority Date has to be current at the time of approval. There may be exceptions as around July last year but even then Visa numbers were allocated when PD were current in July '07 and later these cases received approval in October '07

    How to speed up case assignment to officer after NC is cleared

    - Contact Ombudsman. - If you have an attorney then also ask them to contact USCIS. In general it would still take 8-10 weeks after clearing of name check to approval assuming everything else is in place. As pointed out by RealCanadian, this is December and let alone USCIS a majority...

    Very Urgent, RFE on 485 sent to the old attorney

    Dude, 485 application is owned by applicant not by company or attorney. There is nothing wrong legally if they send a copy of RFE at home address since applicant himself asks for it.

    Time limit to respond to RFE ?

    It depends on the type of RFE. For simple RFE like birt certificate,TB skin test the time frame is usually 30 days. If you filed through an attorney and submitted G-28 form the RFE would land up at attorney's office. You may also call USCIS to send you a copy of RFE at your new address.

    h1-b spouce problem caused by Augost i-485 cut-off

    As pointed by lprkhoj, you should file for PERM and hope for I-140 approval before your H1b expiry so you can file for extensions. Unfortunately I-140 premium processings is suspended. Changing employer may help only if PERM is filed quickly in your case. Your H1 will expire when 6 years...

    Following is quoted from Sheela Murthy's chat. This is the most definitive information I ever read on AP and H1. Hope it helps. Question: Can we use Advance Parole, being on H-1/H-4, as we do not have valid visa stamping? Can I switch back to H-1 once I come back? Answer: The...

    Does using AP invalidate the H1 Status?

    I do not know for sure but that is not my job to know. Search at this site as I remember someone asking this kind of question. Check also in murthy.com chats. I can faintly recall reading from here or Murthy that once you enter using AP you are granted a parolee's status. You must get some...

    Consolidated NSC I-485 Tracker

    FP and Name check are two different checks. In my experience the only way I could find if my check was clear was by going to nearby USCIS office and checking up with an Immigration Officer. There is a related thread on name check in I-485 General Information on this site. It is a long thread...

    foipa Reply : Appreciate your Input.

    You need to do nothing. It shows your name is does not exist in main files. It may exist in reference files which is why you are stuck so long. If you have not done so, start writing letters to ombudsman/senators/congressman/first lady/president about your plight with a copy of this...

    Not enough time to respond to an RFE - any solution?

    Talk to USCIS on phone. Connect to Immigration center like NSC or TSC instead of custormer support center. See if they can help you in extension. Get a written letter posted at your address. As a parallel effort you must try to get an earlier appointment. It is not good to miss RFE deadlines.
