EAD getting desperate

Ok so you came to the US on a B-2 (NIV) then got your H-1B company revoked it.. (got married to a USC within the last 6 months??) is that correct?
 
I was approved for H1B while I was in the country on B2, left the US, H1B revoked, came back on B2 and got married, and filed for AOS

Q: do you think this might be a problem?
 
It could be considering the fact that you entered the US on a B-2 with an intent to get married. I would suggest that you talk to an attorney about your situation. How long have you known your wife?? when you first came here on a B-2 or on your second visit??
 
We met in November 2002 while I was here on B2. Then in March we spent some time in Europe and I came back on B2 in April. Then we went to Rome for 2 weeks, came back again on B2, and in June got married. I also took the New York Bar Exam in July and filed for my AOS July 11.

The intent to get married arose in June while I was here on a valid B2. There was no intent present while I entered the country on B2.

How could that be construed by the BCIS?
 
From Immigrations perspective you entered and left the US multiple times in a very short period. you also had an H-1B in that period.

what you should have done was left the US and came back on a K-1 or you should have used an H-1B.

I would suggest that you talk to an Immigration Attorney (just to be on the safer side).. you could get away with INS or they can grill you based on your frequent entries in a short period.
 
Would you suggest just to wait for EAD card for the time being, and then, before GC interview, consult an attorney about my case?

Since the EAD has already been approved, I think the first hurdle has already been overcome, don't you reckon?
 
An EAD is just a document with allows you to work (based on your I485 which is pending). EAD approval has nothing to do with your I485 case status.

I would suggest that you talk to an attorney sooner to discuss your case and not wait till the last minute. I am not saying your case is complex but if I was INS your frequent trips to the US on a B-2 and then getting married on the second entry would raise an eyebrow.
 
Hi Hvanda,
I read that you fedexed your EAD documents the next day. I had similar process (efiling) but INS didnot ask me for any documents. After contacting INS they told me that they will inform me if they need additional information. I believe since they asked me to take two copies of the documents after i complete my application online that they will ask me to send it to them. How did you know that you have to send your documents in? and where to send it to.

I filed everything with the NYC office, yet every N/O came from MSC. This has been my road to PR so far:

7/14 filed I-130, I-485, I-765, I-131, I-864, G-325
7/14 received yellow receipt acknowledging payment
9/12 Notice of Action I-765
9/16 FP for I-765
10/04 I-765 approved
10/11 Notice of Action for I-485, I-131, I-864
10/15 FP scheduled for I-485
 
9/16 FP for I-765

thats not a FD-258. it's just your index finger print on the EAD.

the appt you have scheduled in Oct is your fingerprint appt & do remember fingerprints are valid for 14 months.

HTH
 
I've already had my index finger fingerprinted. that was on September 16.

tomorrow's appointment is for I 485 - application to register permanent residence or adjustment of status, notice of action I received this past Saturday.

or do they just FP my left index finger this time?

That index print was for your EAD.

this Fingerprint for your I485 is where they will print all your fingers and send it to the FBI for verification (you get the results as IDENT or NON-IDENT that very moment)

FYI : a NON-IDENT message from the FBI is a good sign (which means you donot exist on their files)

Once the fingerprints are done comes the wait for the final interview.

do you mean I will get the results already tomorrow?
 
Yes if your local ASC has the state of the art BioMetrics machine you should get it right there.

the wait for the final interview depends on the local office.. it can be anywhere from 1 month to 1 year.
 
Hi,
I have applied my I-765 online through Internet. I went to INS local office for fingerprint, picture as well as signature. I was told during that time that they would ask me to send in supoorting documents if they need any but my receipt doesnot state any additional documents that they would want. Also it has been 2 months and I have not heard anything from them. Can someone please let me know what should I do.
 
My Only concern is if the receipt date for my I-485 is later then the recepit date of I-765, do they reject my petition for EAD or do I count my 80 days from the day I received my I-485 receipt (I was told by my local INS office) ? The reason being my I-765 is based on my pending case for I-485. Since my I-485 was not accepted at the time I applied for EAD what happens to my petition for EAD?

Thank you.
