Ok friends first of all let me take this opportunity to thank all my fellow waiters here who have taken their VALUABLE time to advise me and to guide me and for their prayers.

Yes I did take your advise and applied for EAD renewal on July 19 2002 and yesterday when I got home from work and checked my mailbox, there was the envelope from ST. Albans, with my new EAD valid until Sep 17 2003.

As you all know I have already sent 2 checks of 1000.00 each for myself and my better half with the supplement I485A on July 26 2002, in response to the Intent To Deny Notice. and am waiting for the checks to be cleared, and also waiting for a receipt form VSC for the same.

Will keep you guys posted

Thanks again one and all

My H1 expired on 31 Mar 2001 and RD for I 485 is July 16 2001, so basically I was covered by I 245k but INS says that the period between the 2 dates there are deposits in my bank account, of an somewhat equal denominations, which means I was Illegally Employed (and they are right ;) ).

So they sent me an Intent to Deny Notice, whereas I had to file a supplement I485a and pay a 1000.00 penalty for any one over the age of 17. So I had to dish out 1000.00 each for myself and my wife, but nothing for my kids. Now I will be covered under I245i of the LIFE act.

Hope that helps

LOL
yes I can get to Pit
BUT WHO IS GONNA DRIVE ME BACK????
 
take it easy

Relax. Everything will be fine...

Maybe I'm missing something here. You mentioned that INS knew of two deposits to your bank a/c within the dates ... how did INS know? (INS and IRS systems talk to each other?)

at the time of filing I485, I had to submit bank statements, and I am guessing thts where they got the info from.
 
thks

Thanks for the reply. That's interesting that you were required to file bank statements - explains it.
 
Bank statements??

I am suprised that you had to submit bank statements....
any special reason for this????

My GC was for future Employment, and I am not sure 100% about it, but I think that is a requirement, INS wants to make sure you are financially ok and will not be dependent on the system.

If it was not for the I245 life act, i would have had to renew my H1, but because of the lapse between H1 and I 485 and keeping in mind that I was working (Illegally) I got penalised.

Hope that helps

Thank you for the information.

My H1 was also expired in April 2001. But my company filed H1 extension and I recieved those in July. Then when I asked my attorney he asked me to send the copies of extension so that INS will know that I am in status. When I spoke to IIO on 19th July, he said my case is the one they are reviewing now and I will now here the decision within a week. But nothing happened till today. Rd 08/15, Nd 10/11, Fp 12/27. Same Process resumed message.

So is this not the same in your case while filing I-485? Instead of sending H1 extension, did you send Bank Statements.... I don't know why? Can you please clear here.

My passport also expired in June 02 which INS has the copy with all expired H1 stampings in it. I had a new passport now with the New Visa stamping from Dept of State in this new, which is not with INS. So I am just curious into your case. I don't know whether this is causing any delay for me?

Can you please clarify me about your H1 extension thing?

Like I said earlier when My H1 expired on 31 mar 2001 the LIFE act had already been signed into a law.

and as my the company That sponsered my GC (for future employment) was not paying me.(hence no pay stubs)

and the company that had originally sponsered my H1 was not renewing my H1.(Hence no pay stubs)

I consulted with my lawyer and he advised we file under the LIFE act I 245k, which actually was a mistake, because even though I 245k allows you to be out of status for less then 180 days, it dosent allow you to work, which is what I did, we should actually have filed under I 245i which allows you to adjust status even if you had been working Illegally, by paying a penalty of 1000.00.

So the bottom line is because it was a future employment sponsorship there were no pay stubs, and because H1 was not renewed there were no H1 extension copies, and thats why I had to send them my Bank statements. To prove to INS that I am not going to be a Liability.

Hope that answers your questions
 
Hi July16

Even my I485 is for future employment. But I never submitted Bank statements. However for I140 they asked for my Tax returns and W2s which I sent them to my lawyer at that time.

Hope I didn't miss something :(

Thanks buddy....
Your day is right around the corner buddy.... just hang in there :)
Later

Yes even I had to submit my Tax returns but no W2s, guess there is no hard and fast rule, and its upto the lawyer to file as they see best.

and thanks for the wishes and wish you all the best also
