In 2005, I received my canadian green card. I never stayed in canada after landing there to get my GC (and had the gc mailed to me ). I got my U.S. green card in 2007. Now I need to go to Canada for a weekend trip. I am planning to show just my U.S. green card as my canadian GC is no longer...

I travelled to India and returned at the end of Nov 2009 and my passport had 1 month validity at the time of returning (expiring Dec 2009). I did not have any problems with the airlines or the immigration. I did not renew my passport in India because I heard stories that occassionally your...

I am a U.S. green card holder living in U.S. I just now found out that I need to go to India in a week and return to U.S. in mid November. However, my Indian passport is expiring in mid December, so it will be valid for only a month at the time of entry. Do I need 6 months validity to enter...

My I-485 is pending and I have been on EAD for over 4 years. I still work full-time for the employer who filed for my I-485. I know a company that wants me work part-time basis (weekends) without going through my employer. What are my options? Can I work for a second company part-time while I...

You can write a letter to USCIS explaining your case and fax it. I don't remember the fax number but you can call the USCIS customer support center and ask them for a number where you can fax emergency requests.

Is there premium processing for EAD? I didn't know that? Please provide me the details. My lawyer didn't mention any such thing. RealCanadian, What is 245k? You say 'it gives people forgiveness from minor gaps in EAD validity.' Please explain... Thanks...

Hi, My wife is working on EAD which she got through my pending I-485. My I-140 is approved. Her EAD is going to expire in a week ( we missed that, probably because her parole is not expiring until end of august). I would like to know the following information. 1) Can she continue to work...

My I-140 is approved a while ago and I-485 has been pending for over two years. I have been working on EAD for the employer who sponsored the GC. When the time comes to approve my I-485, does USCIS asks me for certain documents? Or it simply approves my I-485? The reason I am asking is, in...

I have EAD and my I-140 has been approved. I also worked for 3 years on this EAD for the employer who sponsored the GC. With the retrogression, it seems like I need to wait a few more years. I know I can switch employer as per AC-21 but what if I want to be self-employed and work for my own...

Thanks for the responses. I asked my attorney about this and he said one can only retain the priority date if 'porting based upon earlier filed I-485'. Is this true? My I-140 was approved through the previous employer but I never applied I-485. Does this disqualify me from retaining the priority...

I had applied for I-140 through my previous employer which got approved. The priority date on the approval notice is April-2000. Subsequently, I left that company to join my current employer and started the green card process again. I received the I-140 approval through my new employer but found...

I am working on EAD while my concurrent applications for I-140 and I-485 are pending. Another employer wants me to work part-time on 1099. Is it legal for a non-greencard holder to sign 1099 form? I will still be working with my current employer fulltime. Thanks

While I-485 is pending ( after I-140 is approved), can someone work on contract jobs in similar job category and get paid through W2. If yes, what happens between the contracts?

I was working for company A on H1-B while company B filed for my GC. My labor was cleared and I filed for I-140 and I-485 concurrently in SEP-2003. I received my EAD in JAN-2004 and joined company B. I have worked for companyB for less than 6 months even though it's been longer than 6 months...

I have an EAD from my current employer as part of I-485 filing. Can I use that EAD to work part-time for another employer in a similar job category. If I can work, can I work on W-2 as well as 1099? Are there any restrictions?
