Thanks everyone! My university is in the process of preparing the response. Thanks to everyone for the feedback. Hoping for the best...

I am a Professor at the University of Maryland. I joined in June 2005. We submitted my I-140 under EB1 in Dec 2007. We received an RFE asking us to show three years experience in research and teaching. Will the three years be counted as of the current date (in which case I should be...

I am applying for an AP for my wife (I-485 pending at Texas, applied Dec 2007). She is currently on OPT on her F1 status. I have the following questions: 1. What should be fill in question 3: "Class of Admission" 2. I just wanted to verify that since our 485 was submitted in Dec 07...

My wife is currently on F1 working on OPT. However, her current job ends in April and the new one begins in August. She also has a pending 485 (through me). She has not applied for EAD through her 485 or an Advance Parole. Can she travel on her OPT after her current job ends but before...

This is another follow-up on my previous email. As I mentioned, my wife is F1 and her OPT is pending. Suppose we also apply for her EAD through her 485. Would that imply an automatic rejection of her F1 status? If not, and if both her OPT and EAD come through, does that mean she is still on F1...

Thanks! Does one have to give a valid reason for leaving US when applying for AP? I ask, because like you, I would like to keep it for emergency purposes. Also, can you travel more than once on the AP within a year?

This is actually a follow-up query on my earlier post. My wife is currently on F1 and her OPT application through her F1 is pending. We want to also apply for an EAD through her pending 485. Will it be a problem if both OPT (through F1) and EAD (through 485) are approved? Another question is...

Thanks. This is actually a follow-up query for my original post. As I noted, my wife's OPT application through her F1 is pending. We now think it is prudent to apply for an EAD through her 485. Will it be a problem if both OPT (through F1) and EAD (through 485) are approved? Thanks once again!

Thanks! This might be naive, but with the EAD through 485, my wife can work anywhere, right?

My wife is currently on F1 and her 485 is pending. She has applied for her OPT (which is pending as well). She needs to travel to India. We are planning to apply for an Advance Parole for the impending travel. Will the AP application effect the outcome of her OPT application in any way? Thanks!

Thanks!

Hi, I am on H1 and I concurrently filed my I-140 and I-485 under EB1 in December. As the same time, I filed an I-485 for my wife (as a dependent) as well. We received the Receipt Notices for both our I-485s. My wife is currently on F1, and we wish to apply for her EAD card. Will that...

Hi, I am on H1 visa and in December I concurrently filed my I-140 and 485 under EB1. At the same time, I filed an I-485 for my wife as well. I have received the Receipt Notices for both our 485s. My wife is currently on F-1, and we wish to apply for her EAD. My question is, would my H1...

Hello, I am getting my H1 stamped at New Delhi, and my wife is getting her F1 stamped at the same consulate. Can anyone please share their experiences? Any caveats? Thanks!

Receipt date NOv 4 Still waiting for the OPT. However, my H1 came through a few days back (I work in a University and they premium processed it). So what happens if my OPT also comes through? Would I go back to F1 from H1?

We had exactly the same situation. I was on F1 OPT and my wife applied from F2 to F1. Thankfully, her F1 was approved reasonably fast. However, her International Programs Office (at Johns Hopkins) was very supportive and took a lot of care in preparing her application. I would suggest you do...

Hi, My wife is on F1 and is expecting in february. She is currently studying in John Hopkins. In view of this, she plans to take the Spring semester off. We were told by her International Programs Office that if she does not take her full load of courses, she is likely to fall out of status...

I was on pre-completion OPT for six months, from June 1st to December 21st 2005. I applied for an extension of OPT (post completion from Dec 22 2006 to May 31 2006) on Nov 4th to the Vermont Service Center, the status of which is still pending. In the meantime, on January 12th 2006, my...

Receipt Date Nov 4th Same story. I just talked to customer service, and they asked me to wait for another 10 days or so.
