Registered Users (C)
Hi all,

I moved out of USA (in 12/2001) after my I-140 approved and got laid-off, and at the same time I completed 6 yrs on my H1-B.

Then I consulted an attorney, and was been told that according to my Labor filing date I am eligible under 245 (i) category. However, I need to be in USA for AOS filing.

My question is, for how long I am eligible under 245(i) category? Can I come back to US after 4 yrs and still apply for AOS under 245(i)?

I cannot consult this attorney again due to my financial constraints. I appreciate if anyone can shed some light on this. Thanks a lot.
 
Yes you can unless

INS declares that it won\'t accept any such cases any more at some future date.

You and and your dependents(wife and children)are qualified under 245(i) for life.
