Answer to RPC question
My H1 had expired two days before the filling of my 485. Although I had filed the renewal a couple of days before that, had not received the receipt notice by then, so had not informed INS about the renewal at the time of filling. INS wanted to make sure the renewal was there, although, for all practical purposes, we did not need a renewal because the status was valid based on the 485 filling. And they also wanted to see the H4 approval for my daughter - wierd.
But at least better sense prevailed in the end and they approved it finally.
Thanks for all your wishes.
