There are a couple of threads - one entitled "DORA Dallas Office Rapid Adjustment" - search for DORA in the search box.

For us approval took place less than 2 months, the GC arrived just over 2 months.

Best wishes
 
H1b married to USC. DORA Interview is scheduled on Oct12.
my question is
1 we only need to prepare I-130 and I-485,right? Should I file two I485 and I130 for me and my daughter? or just one for two people?
2 my H1b(4th year) will expire Aug,2007,Should I file EAD or apply to extend a new h1b?
Thanks

1. You need to submit 2 copies of each, one for your daughter and one for you. However, be careful, there are other forms also. You need to complete G325A for yourself, for your daughter, and your wife needs to complete one too. Your wife also needs to file an I864(affidavit of support) for you and one for your daughter. You also need the medical form - one for you, one for your daughter. You also need a lot of supporting documentation, photos etc. Go through the checklist from the interview printout carefully, as well as through the instructions of all the forms.

2. This is up to you --- you may maintain valid H1B status until you receive the GC ---- that way you can travel and work based on that. If you see future problems with your employer, you may want to file EAD. Remember, however, once you receive the EAD and you sign the I9 with your employer, signifying the change, you are no longer in H1B status, and would also need to get AP to travel.

To add to above, since you are using DORA, you cannot apply for an EAD now anyway. So wait and see ---- your H1B only expires in August 2007. If you get the GC in 3 months, you never need to bother with EAD. If you need to apply for it in the future, you can always do that.
