iEAD not issued, out of work, CA CSC I-485 transferred to Newark NJ ...

- I have been with valid status for every single day.(on H1B or AOS/EAD).

- entered USA on Apr 95, on H1B - Atlanta, GA. (worked for four months, in West Coulmbia, SC, never visited New Jersey.)

- moved to SFO Bay Area, California on Sep 95, worked and lived here since.

- Four year degree, with RIR process. CA LC approved.

- employer filed I-140 in CA CSC and was approved,
Receipt - Jan 2001, Notice - Feb 2001.

- employer filed I-485 in CA CSC, Receipt - Dec 2001.

- worked on iEADs and EADs and got APs. (but never used any of the APs).

- CA CSC transferred my I-485 to Newark, NJ in Apr 2004.

- employer sent a letter to Newark, NJ office on May 2004 to send the case back to SFO (incorrect jurisdiction) - so far no response.

- initially employer filed for AP in Nov 2004, to SFO local office and
they rejected/did not accept - response - I-485 case file is not here.

- then employer filed for AP in Jan 2005, to CA CSC, but CA CSC office transferred the AP also to Newark, NJ. (sic.)

- employer filed for EAD in Jan 2005, to CA CSC.

- in March 2005, CA CSC sent I-797C, saying some processing done and transferred to SFO local office for interview.

- employer sent a letter to Newark, NJ office on Mar 2005 to send
the case back to SFO, as processing time is almost 40 months and
incorrect jurisdiction - so far no response.

- when I went to SFO office, they are not issuing me EAD.
(not even interim EAD). (sic.)


What is wrong here ? What should I do ? any help or suggestions ?

got iEAD for 90 days, after exhasting all options available

got iEAD for 90 days, after exhasting all options available

after exhasting all options available to me and my company lawyer, so many letters to local USCIS office at SFO, CA and Newark, NJ, and many personal enquiries to local USCIS office at SFO, CA office (they know me by my face and tell me not to come back until the case file is transferred back to them.), never applied to EAD at Newark, NJ (does not make sense),

I saw in this forum and rupnet about lots of people contacting their local Congressman. So I did contact my local Congressman, Pete Stark's office. They reviewed what myself and my lawyer did and the fact that USCIS did not issue my iEAD.

Due to the enquiries from the Congressman's office, at local USCIS office, at SFO, CA, I was issued an iEAD on Jun 10, for 90 days.

The local USCIS office at SFO, CA had asked me to ask local Congressman's office to transfer my case back to SFO, CA.

only temporary releif. what a nightmare.

I will try my best for GC, but it is not worth it.
