Thanks Jaxen for the reply. About EAD, yes my employer and I did file for an EAD extension but INS lost our file somewhere and so my EAD extension did'nt come through in time. So, our attorneys filed for an H1 extension, and got that approved. I was told that my H1 status should also allow me...

Thanks for the info.

anyone? thanks.

Can I ask you if the consulate asked you to provide employment letter which specifically states that the letter is for the purpose of applying for H4? I wanted to know if they asked for empl. letter because you had not provided that the first time or because they want the letter in a different...

vrkd, As part of the "supporting documentation" for H4, they may ask for recent paystubs and bank statements (if available). Although not 100% required, these docs strengthen your case. It may not be too bad to wait till you get here on the job and can provide the 1 or 2 paystubs, if you can...

rsemwal, If you dont mind me asking you this, you know why they asked you for EAD? If you are on H1, H1 approival notice (I-797) should be sufficient to show that you have proper authorization to be employed. Iam asking because I am going for H1 stamping too, soon to canada. Also, if you...

I talked to my attorney and this is what I got- "You can maintain H1 status as long as your I-485 is not approved. This is because H1 is a dual intent status/visa. You can maintain this status as long as you dont become an immigrant. In addition, strictly by law, you do not need to have an H1...

Thanks for the response... I had the same doubts before and I consulted couple of attorneys and all of them seem to think that having used an AP should not affect my H1 status. H1 and I-485 adjustee status' can be maintained at the same time. But I will clarify this yet another time with a...

Hi all, I have an appointment for H1B visa stamping at a canadian consulate. But now I am rethinking my plan of going out of US just to get the Passport stamped because of the risk of visa refusal or a long delay in processing. I used to have H1 status with the same employer but my H1...

Hello everyone, I need some urgent advice, I have an appointment for H1B visa stamping at a canadian consulate. But now I am rethinking my plan of going out of US just to get the Passport stamped because of the risk of visa refusal or a long delay in processing. I used to be in H1 status...

You need to show the basis of your AP usually your I-485 receipt if you got your AP because you are an Adjustment of status applicant. In addition, it is wise to carry your paystubs if your employer is your GC petitioner to prove that you are still employed with the same employer. Also carry...

Mike, just go buy a lottery, will you?? there's folks waiting from March 2001 who havent heard a thing..... Congrats again!!

VC123, let me share my EAD story.... Each of the last 2 times I called IIO, I asked them in English, do I need to renew my EAD? (EAD expiring Nov 19 2002) They kept saying- No, just wait and you'll get it long before Nov. And today I found out that they may be sending RFE. So, here I am...

No, this was the 3rd time, I think! (life's a blur right now) anyways... so the first 2 times, they basically echoed the AVM, said- its pending, we're working on it..bla bla bla... and of course this afternoon, when I got thru. (magically! after only 10 tries), AVM still said "....we'll let you...

cynically yours alright! this is just getting worse.... fsa448 and junfiler2- you guys are surely the scarier of the bunch I've met in a while... you're telling me that it could (duh! it did in your case!) take more than 2-3 months for the elephant to move from... my backyard porch to the...

<snip>>it was dated 8/19--but I am glad I didn't know sooner as I'd have panicked. << Well, I am not that lucky. Been checking periodically for the past month or so and found out today that they are sending request for additional info. (the IIO did'nt use the word RFE)(and of course my AVM...

RFE question Thanks Chung for sharing your info. and Congrats! My RD is 08/22, and I just learnt that they are going to send an RFE. Seems like in your case, they approved in about 2 weeks of receiving your RFE. Is that a usual time frame? TIA.
