Back to the original question, since you have filed 485, you would have certainly checked the "yes". I did exactly that when I was applying for H visas for myself and my family (of course, outside US), even though I was at a real loss what should be there. The officer was very nice, accepted...

Hi, folks, Even though there are confusions about using AP, but somethings are quite sure. For example, once you use AP, you loose you H status. However, you can go back to H1. But what I do not understand is how to go back to H1. There were documents issued by INS on the internet...

I did a backgroud checking of Mr. soclose. I would like to know how has your case (of bringing your wife here) been going. I have spent quite some time on this subject and have found the following (including talking to a nice lawyer): 1) As soon as you use you AP, you are out of your H1B...

How can the I-824 be extended to more than a year now for spouse follow-to-join?!! I was really horrified to find out the time being stretched from the 3-months to 1 yr now. Is there anything we can do, such as petitioning on the issue, so that the rules can be altered? Thanks for your...

Dear VASX6 and other gurus here, How to re-instate H1 status if the present H1 status is simply invalidated by improper use of AP only (EAD not used), but the actual H1 expiration date has not reached yet? Use the original and get a stamp or apply for a new H1? Thanks in advance, wy

Is getting H1B stamped in Toronto still a good option? Where do I start then? Any web site or contact phone number? Do you need to get a visa to go into Canada? Where is the visa from? Thanks for advice, wy

gc_luckyguy, I have the same questions as you have. I would like to hear from one knowlegeable about this to give us some advices. Especially get stamp in Canada or back to home country? What if asked about H1B motives? Thanks a lot, wy

It is stated in the I-824 form that "File the application with the INS center or office that approved the original application or petition". So in my opinion the Arlington Office. Just an opinion. Not legal advice. wy

Dear Jaxen, Thank you for the answers. The timing for me is really very tricky. I originally depended on the follow-to-join. But I recently found to my horror that that became a nightmare too. Just started to learn about the H option. I talked to a lawyer. He is very helpful even though...

Has anyone successfully experienced working with only the I-824 receipt instead of the I-824 approval? Will every consulate buy the receipt or only the ones which have dealt with it more often such as the Channai? Anywhere more information is available? wy

What is AC-21? Can any of you give me more hints? I tried to look into the archieves here and found that my H1B with the present employer is still OK to use. My concern now is if I can get a new H1B and use it for my purpose of getting the H4? Very fundamental question about H visa...

I submitted my I-485(EB) last February (RD). I am considering changing job and also need to bring my spouse here, who will finish the 2yr HRR by the end of June. Originally I planned to use I-824 for the follow-to-join, but now it takes more than a yr to complete. Can I use H4 to get her...
