I didn't fill G-28 forms for I-485 . Since I am representing myself,
will I receive all approval notices etc (all correspondence from BCIS) directly ? Do I need to fill G-28 ?

Usually all 485 related queries will be sent directly to you. But it is not a bad idea to file for G-28. This will give you the ability to access all your case documents filed to USCIS.

I haven't yet applied EAD and AP ..thinking of applying after 6 months as I am still on H1 ( 7th yr h1 extension is pending and employer has no problems of extending H1s )
If you are pretty secure about your H1B Job, EAD and AP aren't required.

I140 pending, layoff imminent

I have a similar issue. Please help if anyone has a background on this. I concurrently filed 140 and 485 through my current employer. I will be completing my 180 days (after filing 140 & 485) on Feb 5th 2004. But it is possible that I can loose my job before that (maybe sometime in Jan 2004). Please let me know what measures I can take so that if I get laid off, it doesn't jeopardize my GC process ? I have an approved EAD, shall I start looking for a new job and join if I get it ? Since I last entered US on AP, I can't use H1 any more, I'll have to use EAD.

Also what happens if I loose my job before 180 days and my current employer revokes my 140 ? Does it hamper the ongoing GC process ?

I have an approved 140 through my previous employer and I believe it hasn't been revoked. Can I use it in any way for aiding my current processing ?

Thanks a lot !

If u are sure about loosing ur job, u should definitely start looking around. Have a start date of after Feb 5th so that u pass the 180 days test. U can work on a contractor basis till then, if required, and then join on a permanent basis on Feb 5th.

>>> Also what happens if I loose my job before 180 days and my current employer revokes my 140 ? Does it hamper the ongoing GC process ?

If the employer revokes 140 before 180 days are over, u would be in trouble - ur 485 would be denied. Why do u think ur employer would revoke ur 140? They don't have to do so by law.

>>> I have an approved 140 through my previous employer and I believe it hasn't been revoked. Can I use it in any way for aiding my current processing ?

---> Technically, u can file 485 based on that as well (without the job letter). However, as u are pretty close to completing 180 days requirement, I would suggest u hang on to ur current processing without complicating ur case with further 485s.

---> Try to convince ur employer of not revoking ur 140 till Feb 5th and then join another job using AC-21.

goodluck!

My 140 thru current employer is still pending.. Can they withdraw the 140 application ? I'll have to find out what their policy is. But what are the options if they withdraw 140 ? I don't think they'll be able to withdraw it before 180 days of 485 pending because they act slow.

Thanks
 
My 140 thru current employer is still pending.. Can they withdraw the 140 applications?
------ Yes they can as I-140 is NOT approved and still pending
I'll have to find out what their policy is.
----- Find out
But what are the options if they withdraw 140 ?
----- if they withdraw the I-140 before it gets approved then you have to start GC process from beginning
I don't think they'll be able to withdraw it before 180 days of 485 pending because they act slow.
--------- You know your employer better than us.
