ugathens said:Hi all,
After 4 months I submited my I-485, I moved to Tennessee and then Georgia. I am currently working with H1B (issued by Texas). However, my family are still living in Maryland, they never change the home address. Because of this reason, I didn't notisfy Vermont of my job changes (twice as whole lab moved). Now I am worrying if this officer will be unhappy after he/she find this fact and transfer my case to Texas. If so, it will be a terrible nightmare for us. I still hold Maryland driver license, and visit my family monthly (I keep the flight tickets). I also have many other evidences showing my permanent resident address in Marrland: Federal tax return (married filling jointly using Maryland address), and bills, bank statements.
- I think you are fine, you can consider your MD address as permanent and others as temp. Show taxes, utility bills etc. if asked.
You are NIW so you can work where you like (keep same area of expertise). But you must have a letter from current employer with you to show on interview.
If the worse thing happens (ie, they transfer my case since I belong to Texas center), can I insist they should stamp my family's application since they are Maryland residents?
- No, do not insist, they will not stamp them if you are primary applicant.
Who knows the personhood of officer D?
- No one knows, officers are assigned daily. But if you describe your officer it may help others.
The another problem is, my wife is currently working with EADs (issued by Vermont), but at the same time I also applied H4 visa for her and my kid twice with my H1Bs (issued by Texas). It is another big trouble?
- I do not see trouble but the 1st day your wife started using EAD, her H4 became invalid. So do not show it, just show her EAD.
or I just not show my wife and kid' H-4 visa?
- Since your kid was not using EAD, his/her H4 is valid and you can show it if asked.

You mantion that your lab moved. Did you mean that you worked for the same company and you had to move to another place because your lab moved? Anyway, I also noticed that you mentioned you changed job. NIW allows you to change your job, but I am not sure if everytime one changes job one will need to get his/her 485 file moved to the corresponding center, how far is this practical, more so if the changes are withinn short time!! I guess that you working in TX while your interview is in Baltimore should not be a problem as lawyer indicated, and I think you have many positive explanations for that. One thing, you may want to carry sufficient proof that your wife is your wife, I mean you should be able to demonstrate that it is not a marriage of convenience (it might sound vague but I have seen people discussing this issue elesewhere in the forum, particularly for situations where husband and wife are not staying together). GOOD LUCK ONCE AGAIN.
--- it seems new info to me and I suspect that the officer needs openion from from supervisor and supervisor may be busy that time or day. I got PM last week from a person who went for Interview march 3, got approved(AC21 case) and got the passport stamp same day, I dont know if they have changed after 3rd march or created new unit. only the peson who is next to attend interview can post the correct and recent info to confirm what the officer told you.. I think you will get approval next week in the mail.lulu001 said:We had our interview and it went well, no stamp in passport because now nobody gets it at the interview, the case goes to another unit, we were told by the officer; but anyway, the officer said it will recomend our case for aproval , and we will recive the final decision in the mail and that then will have to get our passport stamped and wait for the card.
So ... I'll keep waiting...
