    Please help

    No Title Don\'t sweat. Leave it. Nothing is going to happen. INS will not refund the money it gets once. It is very clearly mentioned on all the forms we submit, including the I 131 (AP).

    I485 Approved; Thanks to Senator\'s office

    No Title Thanks. AVM says - \'This case is approved on so and so date. A receipt is mailed to you. If you don\'t get it, contact INS ... blah blah blah.\' Before approval, you don\'t need to care about what the message says. It could say - \'Case not found\' or \'Your I 485 is received on so...

    I485 Approved; Thanks to Senator\'s office

    No Title Thanks. I don\'t blame the senator\'s office for the FP mess up. It is INS which gave them wrong info. In fact I appreciate their promptness once they knew about the messup.

    Advance Parole Question.

    No Title I have used AP twice. The first time, they didn\'t take any copy. The second time around, they did. It just depends on their mood, I guess. On principle, AP can be reused. I suggest you take multiple copies of the AP document and if they take one of the originals, the next time...

    Can you work with EAD receipt notice ?

    No Title I don\'t think so. The Social Security guys don\'t know much about the INS forms and procedures. If you have a work visa, that will be accepted. If you are on H4, you will have to wait till you get the EAD card.

    Can you work with EAD receipt notice ?

    No Title If yours is a renewal and you applied at your local INS, my guess is you will get it within 30-45 days of applying. They just tell you that it takes 90 days, but it never does. In case you don\'t get it on time, DON\'T MAKE THE FOOLISH MISTAKE OF CONTINUING TO WORK. THAT COULD...

    How Much time would it take to get EAD/AP from TSC.

    No Title We got our first EAD (applied along with 485) in 45-60 days. We applied for the second one (when the first one was about to expire) at the local INS office and got it in less than 20 days. We applied for AP at the local INS too and got it in less than 30 days. These times, it seems...

    I485 filed in 4/99 approved.

    No Title I called my senator\'s office. You need to find out your local senator\'s number. You could use the link on the home page of IMMIGRATION.COM, by following the link COMMUNICATION TIPS and then ONLINE CONGRESSIONAL DIRECTORY. Let me know if this is useful.

    May 1999 case finally get approved

    No Title I did that two weeks back. The congress man\'s office was very prompt in folowing up with INS. They told me that my FP expires on 2/11 and INS might or might not process it before that since there wasn\'t enough time. My application didn\'t get approved before 2/11. So, I am assuming...
