485 status changed after FP
I did my FP about two weeks back. The new message on the status website is as follows.
the results of your fingerprint review for your I485 APPLICATION TO ADJUST TO PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS were received, and processing has resumed on your case. We will mail you a notice if further action is needed, or when a decision is made.

parshu,
Please let us know after your visit to local INS. I am also waiting for an EAD to change a job. My I-140 was approved on Oct. 29, but my I-765 was received on Oct. 29.
KM-MP,
Are you sure there is no more on spot EAD even your application has been filed for three months without a response?

EAD local INS
Do u guys think that still you would be able to get EAD from local INS while your case is pending in Service Center. Did not they freeze it since 20th. NOV. Or this is the case for only my Local INS.
Let us know if you guys obtain EAD from LOCAL INS from now on.

My AP was approved and my lawyer received the original copies of it. Why does it take time for EAD??????????????
Parshu
Do let us know what your local INS said. I will be waiting for your answer.
Advance wishes to you.................

I don't no the answer for your question. It been less than three months since I filed my I-485 (ND 09/13/2002 RD 08/30/2002).
Online status is not updated and my I-140 was approved on Nov 12th.
Only one of my friend visited the local INS office three months back because his wife did not get her EAD for about 7 months from ND of I-485.
If I havn't answered your question then I understood your question wrong.......... repeat your question.

Hi M2002. I wont be too concerned about it as long as it isnt 7/2001. Because this should not affect our 485 processing time as long as I-140 will be approved before 485.
Obvioulsy I would prefer it approved sooner than later. Also I think the processing time may not apply to us concurrent filers since I have seen quite a few 140's being approved later than 7/2002.
Maybe INS has just gone to sleep due to holiday season.
So good luck to all of us !!!

Travelling on Advance Payroll is Risky???
Hello Guys,
INS released a advisory what mentioned that travelling on AP may have serious consequence when AOS is pending? What does that mean? Even though if someone maintained valid status all the time, he might have problem coming on AP?
Do you guys have any idea? Please read the article and throw some thoughts. Also if anyone of you already know the lawers analysis on this, please post here:

INS Issues Foreign Travel Advisory for Aliens
With Pending Immigration Applications
The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) reminds aliens who have applied to adjust status to that of permanent resident that they must obtain Advance Parole (Form I-131-- Application for Travel Document) from the INS before traveling abroad (see INS Travel Advisory Questions and Answers). Travel outside of the United States may have severe consequences for certain aliens who are in the process of adjusting their status. Such aliens may be unable to return to the United States, their applications may be denied, or both.
Under the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, aliens who depart the United States after being unlawfully present in the United States for certain periods can be barred from admission to lawful permanent resident status, even if they have obtained Advance Parole. Those aliens who have been unlawfully present in the United States for more than 180 days, but less than one year are inadmissible for three years; those who have been unlawfully present for a year or more are inadmissible for 10 years. Aliens who are unlawfully present, depart the U.S. and subsequently reenter under a grant of parole, may nevertheless be ineligible to adjust their status.
INS urges all aliens with pending applications for adjustment of status to consult an immigration attorney, immigration assistance organization accredited by the Board of Immigration Appeals, the INS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283, or the INS web site: www.ins.gov before making any foreign travel plans.
-INS-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, on FAQ I got.
Q6. Can travel abroad still have severe consequences for certain aliens, even if they have obtained Advance Parole?
A6. Yes, due to changes to U.S. immigration law, travel outside of the United States may have severe consequences for certain aliens who are in the process of adjusting their status or changing their nonimmigrant status. Such aliens may be found inadmissible to the United States upon return and/or their applications for adjustment or change of status may be denied.
Under the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, aliens who depart the United States after accruing certain periods of unlawful presence in the United States can be barred from admission, even if they have obtained Advance Parole. Those aliens who are unlawfully present in the United States for 180 days but less than one year become inadmissible for three years; those who are unlawfully present for more than one year become inadmissible for 10 years.
Aliens who have concerns about their admissibility should contact an immigration attorney or an immigrant assistance organization accredited by the Board of Immigration Appeals before making foreign travel plans.

Therefore, they are mentioning clearly that anyone can have serious consequences even he/she travel on AP.

I-140 Question
Hi,
Can any one tell me what is the difference between different I-140s, like A, B, C, ..... I see lot of categories there.
Mine is EB2/RIR and having M.S. in computer science from USA. Which category I am going to be??
For your information, I-140D's processing date was 7/26/2002 one week back. But now it is saying 4/18/2002.
Does the processing date will go back???
Thanks in advance.

Travelling on AP
The msg is indeed quite clear: Only People who have accumuilated days of UNLAWFUL PRESENCE are at risk. As most of the users of the forum may know, unlawful presence starts when a person stays in the US beyond the date authorized in I 94. It is different from Out of status. So, if I 94 specifies a date , then any stay beyond that date wityhout applying to INS for extension constitutes unlawful presence. Accumulation of unlawful presence is not cumulative. Also note that only unlawful presence in excess of 6 months is penalozed.

You certainly can. In fact this is the best idea to travel on H1/H4 visa instead AP. Dont even flash AP. Just use your H1/H4. You would be fine. If you read FAQ about AP in INS website, they says if you have valid H1/H4, you can use that even though you have applied for AOS.
So just obtaining AP does not mean that you have to use this.
SO, cheer up. Have a good trip.

hello Raja,
I understand what you have said. The only thing I did not understand, why INS released that in recent days again. This is true from 1996. In fact they mentioned that at the later part of the advisory. Did they mean something new about travelling on AP? I was just confused.

Hi Sahin
Thank you verymuch man!
I am planning to change my company after coming back from India
some time in April 2003, so I am applying for AP tomorrow!( my friends will post the approval notice if it is approved when I was in India)
But while entering into USA in January 2003 I will use H1B.

Re: 485 status changed after FP
I did my FP on 11/15, but my I485 status checked online and AVM is still the same as before:
Your I485 APPLICATION TO ADJUST TO PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS was received on October 08, 2002. We mailed you a receipt with information about processing. It is taking between 420 and 450 days for us to process this kind of case. We will mail you a decision as soon as processing is complete.
Does any one know usually how long it takes for INS to update the status after FP was taken? Thanks.
