    Need to Find a good immigration attorney in Atlanta

    Bobsmyth, I'm licensed to market the membership only for the state of Texas where I live and if someone from Atlanta signs up, I don't benefit in any way. In this respect, I do apologize to the users in Texas who have read this post. Anyhow, I think Pre-Paid Legal Services is the most affordable...

    OPT, i-765, EAD

    I don't think biometrics are required for OPT applications. Your international advisor would have told you if they were needed. It is your international advisor's responsibility to call USCIS and check the status of your application as s/he submitted the application on your behalf and s/he had...

    OPT, i-765, EAD

    The International advisor at the University should be able to check the status as they can call USCIS directly. Normally, OPTs take about three months to get processed so you'll probably get it just in time for 12/19. Have your Intl. advisor call USCIS asap though! After graduation, you have 2...

    HELP!! Lawyer confusing us. First EAD. 485 pending. Are prev. H1B prev. employ. docs?

    The answer to Question 11 is "No" as long as you have not had any previous EADs such as OPT, Economic Hardship Permit, etc. I, personally, checked "Yes" since I've had both OPT & Ec.Hardship EADs but I did not list any information pertaining to my H1Bs there.

    Switching to part-time on EAD

    You're supposed to inform USCIS if switching jobs under AC21. However, in your case you are switching to a part-time position, which is different from the Green card position. My understanding is that you don't have to inform USCIS about this change. You do risk your green card in case the...

    485 and out of status-Advice please

    I wouldn't worry much since your friend's husband got an H1B after he overstayed his F1 status. If he did not have any problems at this time, it is very unlikely that he will have problems at this stage. Hope this helps.

    HELP!! Lawyer confusing us. First EAD. 485 pending. Are prev. H1B prev. employ. docs?

    You're right. H1B information is not relevant to I-765. Check the box "Permission To Accept Employment" unless you currently have an EAD. In question 11 you need to list information pertaining to previous EADs if any (Economic Hardship Permit or OPT, for example). My wife and I prepared the form...

    GC has just arrived. Am I screwed?

    You count 180 days from the I-485 receipt date. You may switch jobs even earlier but in case your I-485 is approved before the end of the 180 days, it will be a problem that you are not working for the sponsoring employer. If I were you I would wait 180 days before switching jobs and, then, I...
