No Title At first, it will change to "processing of your GC has completed" after 4 to 12 weeks. It just confirms that your I89 form has been put into INS computer system. If it becomes "On July 12, we order your card ...", then the card will arrive in about one week. It...

No Title If the new case cannot be adjudicated without FP notice issued, then INS will issue a new FP notice in the future. ASC only takes the FP, labels the FP file with A# and sends it to FBI. ASC doesn\'t care anything about your receipt number. ASC is just a subcontractor, it isn\'t a...

No Title The FP itself is bound with A#. Different cases (with different receipt #) can share one A# and therefore, one FP.

No Title The rule has been changed (since 1999 or 2000) so that the 485-applicant can travel abroad with unexpired H1/H4 visa if he/she never used AP/EAD.

No Title I have similar experience of correcting the I94 errors at local INS.

No Title What is the document number (e.g. I-824, N-400) of that inquiry form?

No Title My EAD receipt also says "Class requested: C09". You need to get EAD receipt first. If 90 days passed and the case has not been approved yet, you can go to the local (Seattle?) INS office with your receipt to get an interim EAD.

No Title I never trust the 485 date in JIT. There are so many categories (EB/FB preferences) of 485. How can they be consolidated to a single date? Just browsing recent postings in this site, you can learn what CSC is doing.

No Title I am not a lawyer. You should consult your lawyer if you really encounter this situation. I just offer my personal $0.02. Once you have a 485 pending in INS, you are lawful to stay in US until your 485 is rejected. Your status is "pending AOS". You should use your EAD...

No Title AC21 is not a cure for all. In past common understanding, you need to restart the whole painful GC process if the employment is terminated before 485 approval. AC21 provides a relief for those who have long-pending (>180 days) 485 application. Nothing is provided for

No Title If you are not in US, why don\'t you choose CP instead of 485?

No Title Nothing about amended 140. If the M&A happened after 180 days of 485 application, you should be able to handle it as a NEW job -- just need a letter to confirm that everything remains the same. But if the M&A happened before 180 days of 485, I have no idea.

No Title Are you dreaming? AOS and CP are totally different categories. AC21 is mainly for the people who are working in US. They are supposed to go thru AOS, not CP.

No Title Wow! so fast!! This is actually a VSC case, not CSC, right? Does it mean that the processing (from stamping to plastic) speed mainly depends on service center, not local office?

No Title Removing the restriction is a good thing, right? Why not? It\'s not required but highly suggested.

No Title AC21 is a new law so very few people have ever applied. As I know, the yearly extension of H1 over 6-yr limit is applicable to H1 "status" only, not H1 "visa". It means that the applicants cannot leave US and come back with H1 status. So if your H1 is about...

No Title I think "the same or similar occupational classification" is the key issue. How will INS recognize "the same or similar occupational classification"? In past months, people kept talking about "change job after 180 days" as the benefit of AC21, but...

No Title "The same or similar occupational classification" is more critical issue than RD/ND. But it seems that only very few people care about it.

No Title Yes, this memo is filled with bureaucratic words and doesn\'t clearly specify some important details. They may need another memo to explain this memo. Very disappointed.

No Title Once you return US using AP, your H1 will become invalid automatically. Then you can only work under EAD.
