BR2004,

U can go to the nearest ASC does not matter where your I-485 is pending.
e.g My 485 was pending in TSC but since I moved to VA , I filed my online EAD and then called 800# to set appointment; The lady asked me my zip code and based on my zip code asked me to go to the closest VA ASC center.
 
Thanks for this excellent post!!

Thanks for this step-by-step guide for online EAD filing. It makes everyone else's job a lot easlier.

Very much appreciate your time and effort!!
 
is there anywhere on INS website that says you need all these documents.. I think what you listed here are far many documents than needed..
 
This is an excellent guide.
I'm wondering how does the system choose the service center where the processing would be done.

Based on the I-765 instruction, the applicaiotn should be submitted to the service center where the I-485 application was filed.

The CSC service center address is ;

INS Service Center,
P.O. Box. 10765,
Laguna Niguel, CA - 92607-1076

Note the PO Box has the form number.
 
Need help with online EAD renewal

I applied online for my EAD renewal and at the end I got the message below:-

Your application was not processed successfully
To check the status of your application, please contact the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283 after 48 hours.

Have any of you come accross this problem before. If yes please share your experiences with me.

Thank you
 
Hi ,

I am trying to apply for EAD extension online .
I came across 2 questions :

1. Manner of last enrty to US - What option should select ,
H1-B Speciality Occupation
or
1B1: H1-B1 Speciality Occupation

This is confusing . I WAS on H1B during my last entry to US.


2. Recently in February i shifted to EAD from H1B.
On the online EAD extension application, i saw another question about:
Current Immigration status
There is no EAD option in the drop down .
What should i selected for this question as i am on my EAD not and not on H1-B

Please help .
Thanks.
 
jeans, I didn't apply for EAd extension yet, but from what an INS officer told me when I went to get my iEAD you are an "AOS pending" if you are using the EAD. Hope that helps.
 
Current Immigrant Status with online EAD

Hi Folks,

I am planning on filing online my E-EAD(3rd). H1B expired last year.

I returned using Advance Parole this December.

I am not sure about couple of questions in EAD application. Any ideas?

Manner of Last Entry into the U.S.: I was thinking of selecting DA ADVANCE PAROLE(DISTRICT AUTH). Is this correct?
Other Options which looked related to me were:
PAR:pAROLEE
IMM:IMMIGRANT.

But I am somewhat confused. Is it better to leave it blank as it is not a mandatory field?

2. Current Immigration Status: Same Question here too..

I saw that some folks have left it blank and there was a similar recommendation from BCIS to someone a while back(Searched and found it).

Has any one got any recent inputs/recommendations?

Thanks..
 
My company's legal expert suggested to use PAR in my case. Used the same.
Now will go for FP and photo..
 
The e-file form wouldn't accept middle name of the format X.Y. What a waste.

When I enter X.Y or expand X and Y with a space, it says the legal chartacters are small letters, caps etc etc.

Its paper for me :|
 
I tried to use e-file.
But even though I selected California Service Center as a EAD applied BCIS, but it's shown as WSC.
What is WSC?
Can I use WSC for CSC?
It's really confusing.
Is there anybody whi experienced the same thing?
 
Change in Address

Friends,
I am planning to move from my current address in about 1-2 months and I am not sure about the new address. Can I use a friend’s address in my application for renewal of EAD and new AP, which different from address on my driving license and from the file in BCIS?

Thanks
Vadi
 
If I came back through Chicago Airport using Advance Parole, what is my Manner of last entry? DT,DE,PAR or else? There are so many choices which makes me confused. Thanks.

PAR is generic so use this; DT will also work fine. I would not use DE because that is something to do with "Deferred" Inspection.

So best is use PAR.
 
Thanks a lot for your prompt response. So my current status is also "PAR", since "AOS pending" is not in the list. Right?

Yes, use PAR. (Because u used AP)

Are u using EAD / Visa to work ? (Though this should not change the value of "PAR" in the "Manner of Last Entry")
 
What should I write in Current Immigration status?
I'm not on H1b-. I'm on my EAd and have 485 filed since 2002.
I do not see anywher it says I-485 applicant.

Do I need to write as H1b in Current immigrataion. Even If i'm not on that. I have never go out from USA and have used my AP since.

Any help would be great.
