Received EAD cards

Hi Friends,

We received EAD cards yesterday for me and my wife. It took about 1 month for me to get EAD approved. My filing date was 04/19 and got EAD approved on 05/20.

Thanks and best of luck to all.
 
EAD and AP got Approved for me and my wife

Hi Guys,
My EAD and AP got approved and received EAD cards. Here is my updated information.

My I485 information at VSC is as follows.
RD:04/03
ND:04/19
FP Notice:05/04 , Schedule date is 06/07
EAD: Approved 05/22 (Mine and my wife\'s), cards received on 05/28
AP : Approved 05/24 (Mine and my wife\'s)

Now I am left with FP only and then may be have to wait for 7 or 8 months. Let\'s hope that things moves fast as it\'s moving right now and we all get I485 approved within 6 months time period.

Good luck to every one and have a nice day.

Any Idea

Hi Friends,
Any Idea about process timings. Are processing timings for I485 decresed or what? I was just wondering why new applicants are getting FP notice so early. Any one has idea that INS is trying to decrease timings for I485 that is the reason or something else. Please post your comments here.

Thanks.
Good Luck.

negotiate severance terms & look for another job immediately

Technically you need to wait until 10/5/2002 to qualify for the AC21 (180 day job switch) rule.

The best solution is to negotiate a severance agreement with your currently employer to keep you on their payroll (e.g. extend your &quot;employment&quot; beyond 10/5/02). First, you can exhaust your unused vacation. Second, if you have months of sick leave (my company allows 13 weeks sick leave accumulation) you can use it for bargaining. Last, try to negotiate a &quot;leave without pay&quot; (you may have to pay back the health insurance).

If you can find a similar position elsewhere quickly (and your current company cannot extend your employment), just use your EAD. Employed is better than jobless. AC21 rule is at an immigration officer\'s discretion. Your case may get approved without any RFE (unless your current employer submits a withdrawal of support).

Good luck.

Hi archvish

I think you need only FP notice which you received from INS, your and your wife\'s Passport or any vaild picture ID from US.. even EAD cards can do. I guess that\'s it. You don\'t need any other documents.

Good luck
