As desi_ma suggested, since you have 1.5 years of normal h1 period left, you may go for ext , it is upto you to decide. In my case, it was very close to approval and would have been a waste of money if I had applied for 7th yr extension. But consider other factors like getting stamped when you...
Hi,
Is the H1 completing 5 years or 6 years? Your post was not clear. Anyway, here is my opinion and what I have decided upon in April this year when I encountered similar situation. If full 6 year period on H1 is ending then switching to EAD would be the right thing cost wise, if you have to...
When you e-file, at the end, in the confirmation page it should ask you to schedule an appointment for finger prints and photo. Call the USCIS number and a CS rep will ask your zip code and schedule an appointment for that. Thats what we did. Looking at your signature, may be it will trigger...
ND May 20 2004 approved and PP stamped for both
My details are in the signature. Our ND was May 20 2004 and I-485 approval was May 17, but came to know May 23. Online status didnot change after march 10, no LUD. Today PP stamping done! A great relief.
My PD was March 21, 2002, EB2.
Thanks and...
PP stamped after I-485 approval
Hi All,
Today we got our passports stamped after we received I-485 approvals this week, lucky to get infopass appointment within days. It came very much in tiem, since my wife is travelling next week.
Also our attorney said the advance parol is void after 485...
Hi,
Congratulations! Nice to see your approval. So, now it doesnot matter whether you drink beer or not. I liked your Id when I saw it first time, I also speak Telugu.
Today we got our passports stamped and they took our EADs, Advance parols, my attorney said I have to carry those and so i...
Hi,
I understand your frustration. It is hard to see people getting approved who filed later than us and we being still in the queue.
I have not raised any queries, no FBI email or phone calls, etc. Just prayed god, thats it!
In your case you may want to initiate a query or ask your...
Congrats,

Our approval was also on May 17 2005, but came to know yesterday.
Goodluck.

I-485 ND May 20 2004 approved for both
Thanks all of you for your wishes. This forum has been wonderful and helpful for the past 3 years for me.

I-485 ND May 20 2004- approved finally!
My I-485 is finally approved. Sudden surprise in my mail box today. There are no LUDs, no approval email, even now. Last LUD was on March 10 when my FP results were received. The approval date was May 17 2005 and I came to know when I got the actual...
Can I-94 be extended on the basis of advance parol?
This may be a dumb question, but does anybody have an answer to this question?
Our H1/H4 visas expired and we are using EADs and have advace parol approved in April just before our visa expiry,so we can travel and come back legally. Our I-485...
It is a good idea to apply for AP ext in may/June if it expires in Oct, also mention that your intended date of travel is Aug or JUly, to get a faster approval, if you are planning to use that. What is your EB cat and your FP code?
Your ND is exactly the same as mine. No approval so far. I also applied for EAD ext very recently. Should wait and see what happens. Looks like cases with this ND and around are assigend to a group or one officer and the approval is very slow. There are 629 cases with the same ND. May eb the EAD...
I got reminder from my attorney earlier that we can file for extension 6 months prior to the expiry. I did it about 4 months prior to the expiry. So in case of your EAD you can file for ext now or atleast in the next 1 month. You can file electronically also.
Why dont you provide the case...
Hi,
What is the best thing to do if we have advance parol approved and already booked the tickets but expecting approval any time before or after departure and travel internationally? If suppose the approval comes days before the departure and we have no time to wait and get the approval...
Hi, Congratulations! I cant beleive that we talked just a few days ago and now you got approved. Your FP dates are exactly same as mine, I have to wait and see what happens.
Looks like the labour PD has some significance in approval. BTW, were you able to scan for May 24 2004?
Goodluck!
Congratulations! May be you should correct your post so that it says liberation day as May 12, 2005 not 2003. It would have been nice if it were 2003. But anyway, enjoy the freedom now.
