    Dependent I-485 has not been approved...

    I too am in the same boat. My case was approved on Friday 07/16 but my wife's case isnt. We both went for fingerprinting on March 23, '04. Her online status still says that on April 10th we received your fingerprints and is pending review. Any petition we have filed together so far were all...

    Travel on AP

    Me and my wife are I-485 pending. We are intending to travel to India this month on AP. My wife will spend 4 months and I would be there for 2 months. Our AP expires on Feb. 2005. Is it ok to spend so much time away while our I-485 is pending. BTW we got our FP done in March.

    Till last week the message read we received your application on May 20 and its taking between 160-180 days for us to process but two days back when I checked, it says its taking between 660-660 days. Makes no sense to me too. By the way its been five months since I got receipt notice but havent...

    I-485 processing time?

    GCchaahiye, First time I sent 7 letters from big shots. Unfortunately they were all from my collaborators. Most of them looked like recos rather than testimonials, which the BCIS emphasizes. I considered myself lucky that atleast I got an RFE rather than an outright reject letter. By the...

    Got RFE..

    ksekar Dont panic just as yet. Not all RFE's are bad news. The RFE''s mostly depends on the category. I had applied I-140 under NIW category (Self petition, CSC) and got an RFE after six months. My RFE stated that my evidences were not pursuasive enough to prove that my work was in National...

    Do I need Advance Parole ????

    In case one uses AP for travel though in H-1 status (I-485 pending, no EAD) but not stamped in the passport, does he still maintain H-1 status. If the answer is one can still be in H-1 status (despite usin AP to reenter) why take the hassles of getting the passport stamped in the first place...
