2004 Consolidated Tracker ONLY (140/EAD/AP/FP/485)

Aniraj

Hi all,
I filed my 140/485 concurrent in May 26 2004 in EB2. I completed 6 years by december 2004. Now my wife is working on EAD and i applied 7 th year extension. In this case do i still get H1 and H4 for 7 th year or i only get H1 now ( anyway i applied for both h1 & h4). Which one is going to be valid once our H1 approves.
What happens if my 140 or 485 get a problem for my wife who is using EAD , i am not using EAD.
Can anyone suggest me here if worst situation happens to me.

Thanks!

(First of all, this is wrong forum to ask this question)

H4 is not valid anymore. Once you use EAD, H4 status becomes void and status will be "Adjustment of Status", which is an intermediate state but perfectly legal. The H4 extension should be denied. Even if it is approved, it will be a mistake and your lawyer should correct it promptly with USCIS. If your 485 gets rejected for any reason, the person on EAD/AOS status will immediately start accruing illegal time.
 
Thank everyone in the forum

I want to thank everyone in the forum for their valuable comments / theories. Though I have not been an active member in the forums, but I always used to read it whenever I needed information / peace of mind.

hello usagc2,
I missed the word NOT in my earlier post. I have NOT RECEIVED the RFE till today.
bmw140,
This is a typical helpless situation we get into some times with USCIS. typically they mention 14 days as the waiting period for any mails sent out. It is interesting that they asked you to wait for 30 more days after having waited for almost a month already.

I would suggest call them up again and talk to them. If you happen to get a different person this time it may work out differently.

Good luck

[/COLOR]Thanks a lot USAGC, That helps a lot. I haven't checked yet with the lawyer whether he received the approval notice or not!. Is there a way to get the approval notice early and file for my 140 & 485 before this month end. I rearlly want to file and be with the concurrent filing crowd for AC21. Otherwise need to wait for endless time (atleast 2 years) for visa status to become current.

Thanks
GC
GC_04,
My suggestion is to get all the documents ready and sent it to the attorney. whenever attorney gets the approval, they can file your I140/485 immediately without wasting any time.

Unfortunately there is no way to expedite the receival of the approval notice. Maybe the attorney can use the letter received by your employer as a reference for filing your I140/485 without the approval notice. Try talking to your attorney about this option.
 
Hello ,
I had received an RFE on my 140
- Tax records for 2001
- Reference letters from previous employers
- Degree certificates and Transcripts.

Got emails yesterday from USCIS , saying that they have received our response to their RFE on Dec 20th.

Hopefully should be getting the 140 approval soon.

Also,
I have not been active on the Forum for the last couple of months.
What is this EB3 Retrogation??
Any ideas if it affects cases like mine which are already in the pipeline?

Mine is a Concurrent 140/485
RD = 08/16/2004
