    FP questions

    My wife got her FP notice yesterday for Oct 1st appointment but mine hasn't come yet (it's weird because we filed I-485 together and I was the primary applicant with her being the dependent). We filed I-485 in July 2003 with TSC. I have the following questions and would appreciate your insights...

    FP time frame

    My I140 was approved in Nov 2003 and my I485 RD was July 2003, but they (TSC) haven't called me for FP yet. Is this normal? When should I expect to be called for FP? Thanks a lot, -Brian

    fees

    Can anyone tell me to whom I should make my check payable when paying the filing fees to Texas Service Center? The USCIS website says "US Citizenship and Immigration Services," while all the new forms published after April 2004 says "U.S. Department of Homeland Security." Thanks, -Brian

    FP info

    My I-140 was approved last Nov and my I-485 was submitted last July (right now they are processing 485 cases from June 2001). Can anyone tell me when I should expect to do the fingerprints? I am under the impression that fingerprint is good for only one year. So, do they notify people within one...

    H-4 status throughout

    I am currently in H-1B and my wife H-4. My company sponsored green card is in labor certification stage. I wonder if my wife has to remain H-4 throughout the green card process or only during some stages (LC, 140, 485). Can she change to F-1 and the green card petition for her still proceeds...

    help with I-485 filing

    I filed I-140 petition in Extraordinary Ability a month ago and plan to file I-485 along with EAD and AP applications now.

    risk of concurrent I-485?

    I am currently holding H1B visa and filed I-140 self-petition under Extraordinary Ability. Is there any potential risk to file I-485 before my I-140 is approved? In other words, if my I-140 petition is denied, I assume that my I-485 will be subsequently denied, and in that case, is my H1B still...

So, I figured it should be somehow bound together. Also, I plan to use tab to indicate the starting point of each exhibit. Does anyone has...

    company going into bankruptcy

    What happens to the labor certificate (RIR) filed on my behalf if my company files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (assuming it will be able to emerge from this protection in the future)? Does it still have the right (or possibility) to sponsor my green card (LC, I-140, I-485, etc)...
