Still waiting for FP
 
Need info: Please reply.

I am completing 180 days from the RD (06/11) by next week end.
I also received my EAD card last week (11/24) (WAC-01-259).
Waiting for FP (San Jose) !!

My H1-B is valid till 04/01/2002.
My lawyer wants me to apply for the H1-B extension now.
Is it really required to extend the H1-B at this point of time ?
What are the advantages & disadvantages with this ?

Please reply !
Thanks,
sd

If Yu apply h1 extension and maintain the status as non immigrant till Yu get approval will be the safe way. If Yu wishes to use ead then Yr h1 will be void and in future if 485 is denied, Yu can go to applllate and it will be lengthy procedure to get GC(once denied for any reason). That\'s the reason most of the people are maintaining their h1 be status instead of optING ead. It is up to Yu to decide.

STATUS UPDATE - Received EAD Card

Received EAD Card for me and my wife by mail on 11/26/01 - approved on 11/12/01. No FP notice yet!!
 
You have the luxury of waiting before you decide ...

If your current H1 is valid till April 01, 2002, you have a few months to decide. If I were you I would wait till early March before deciding either way. The speed at which CSC is going presently, you should have your 485 approval by that time. In that case, you/your employer would waste the money spent on an H1 extension(Lawyer makes money though, is that his motivation in pushing to apply for H1 extension this early?). But, if push came to shove, choose H1 over EAD. My 2 cents.
 
I did my FP and I don\'t have my EAD yet...

I just told them I have not gotten an EAD yet. It is a standard question they ask.
 
why they asked EAD for finger print??????

Hi sr485

 This is strange that...they really asked EAD\'s Alien registing number
from me...they said..without it I could not do finger print
 I did my finger print in San Diego ..fortunately I got my EAD ten days before my finger print sechedule...

Got EAD card for both I and wife and scheduled for FP today.

I received EAD card for both me and wife on 11/28/01. It was approved on 11/16/01. Today We are going for Finger Printing as scheduled.
 
EAD approval date: 11/7, still haven\'t received the card!

I am in the same boat.. In San Jose area, EAD approved on 11/7/01 but still haven\'t received the plastic card. Getting frustrated.
