I have a question for you guys. I am planning on traveling to India in May. I am pretty sure I will not have my EAD and AP before that. Is it safe to leave the country and reenter using my stamped H1B?

Please advice.

Thanks folks.

As long as you have a valid visa, you are fine. Just don't be out long enough to miss your communication from USCIS.

I asked in the "ask your questions" thread no reply for 2 days now.

I am going to be a US citizen soon (April 24, 2008 Oath date)
I plan to apply my wife to get her EAD and Greencard.
There are a lot of forms to fill out, I got confused.

So far what I know I need to fill out these forms:
- I-130: Petition for Alien Relative
- I-485: Application to Register PR or Adjustment Status
- I-765: Application for EAD
- I-693: Medical Exam of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status
- I-864 : Affidavit of Support
- G-325A : Biographic Information

Questions:
1) All the above forms, are they supposed to be sent at the same time? I understand I-130/485/765 can be sent together, but how about I-693/864/325 can these be sent at the same time too with the rest of the above forms?
2) Should I put all applications in one envelope?
3) How do I pay the fee? separate checks or all together and how much?
4) RFE (Req For Evidence), what kind of evidence is needed?

THANK YOU for any help you can give me. Please don't flame me...I'm new in this GC process.

All of those forms need to be sent together, at the same time, to the Chicago Lockbox
2) Should I put all applications in one envelope? Separate them with tabs or fasteners of some kind, all inside one big envelope.
3) How do I pay the fee? separate checks or all together and how much? One $1,010 personal check for the I-485 and One $355 personal check for the I-130, those are all the fees you will have to pay.
4) RFE (Req For Evidence), what kind of evidence is needed? That is in the event you forgot to send something in, USCIS will send you a letter, requesting something specific you need to send them. At this point, if you send everything that is required and often forgotten (W2s, 1099s, tax returns for past 3 years, birth certificate and translation, etc). You should not have to worry about that.

PraetorianXI, THANK YOU for your reply.
This is getting much clearer now.

Another questions regarding I-693: I saw the list of civil doctors in USCIS
https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.type&OfficeLocator.office_type=CIV

Are these the only doctors approved by USCIS? My wife go to Kaiser for all medical issues. I know Kaiser has the record of my wife's health history, so if she has to go to these civil surgeon doctors, do we have to bring any document/history from Kaiser?

When she gets out of the doctor's examinations, what sort of thing does she need to obtain from the doctor? I heard some sealed documents or some sort?

Sincerely thankful for your help.
 
She has to go to a certified USCIS civil surgeon (From that list you posted).

They will do a general examination, and you can bring her vaccination history from another doctor... also the HIV test, syphilis test and TB test results from another doctor (or health department, which would be cheaper).

You will get a sealed envelope with the I-693 form filled by the doctor, and the Supplemental form that goes with it (you should get a copy of these for your records).

Just call one one and ask the requirements, she will have to get the tests mentioned above and a bunch of vaccines, if she has not taken them or has no record of them.

4/18/2008 Checks cashed
 
Depending on my notice date(NOA), I may be April or May timeline :). I have put my timeline in the signature
 
Update

We're a very quiet group... :D

My checks were cashed yesterday. Posted to my checking account today.

04/14/08 Sent I-130, I-485, and I-765 to CLO.
04/15/08 Documents received at CLO.
04/23/08 Checks cashed.
 
yes.. we seem to be quite.

So let me start the din, since I am a noisy but informative fella. Some of my findings and what we may expect in our cases

i) there is a yates memo sent in Feb '08 to USCIS that required them to approve applicable I-485 cases within 180 days even if name check pending. So what this has resulted is an automated interview scheduling(my USCIS processing center) for most cases(including parents case which previously would not have been called for intws).

ii) What happens in most cases is the District OFfice(DO) seem to be booked on the original/initial intw date that USCIS service center schedules or they do not have the necessary documents from USCIS and they send out a cancellation and reschedule notice.

iii) So we can expect the Petition to be cleared at the most 180 days of RD, but the median times seem to be 4 months or so.

iv)FP notice and subsequently the initial interview notice should come pretty soon.

Please mention in your timelines if this is a parents case or a spouse case.

thanks
 
Mistakes

Hi cscgc,

I am applying as the spouse of a citizen.

You know what other piece of information would be useful? D/O. Mine is Seattle. I was looking at the timelines for february filers and it seems that they are getting the EAD in roughly 2 months. That's not too bad. However, I have realized that I made a few mistakes in my application: I didn't send all the pages of the passport, and I sent a check for my I-765.

I know that not sending the check is not big deal, I have read that they'll just send it back, but I don't know what they'll do about the passport. RFE you think?
