Friends :

I am not sure if I am posting this question in right thread or not.
My attorney (Dumbest creature on this earth) filed my I-485 (AOS) application on 30th June, 07 recd. on 2nd July at 10.45 am. I was under this impression that all 3 stages 485/765/131 were filed along to uscis.. but I was wrong. My attorney only applied for 485 saying that they were very busy and will file for 765 and 131 (EAD and AP) after we get 485 adjudicated.. BS..

Anyways.. My question is.. since 485 was mailed out via attorney's office, can I go ahead and apply for 765 and 131 on my own, bypassing attorney's effort or am I stuck with them to wait for their mood-swings to go ahead and file my papers. The deadline with old fees application is 30th July as per the news bulletin. I dont want to waste time for 485 to get adju. and then file for 765/131.

Please advise me about this situation. Also I don't have any proof of 485 application being submitted. I only have tracking number of Fedex that the application was delivered on 2nd July. GOSHH.. pls. advise me.

Thanks for all your replies.

You can apply EAD/131 on your own by filling online application in which case you dont need to pay lawer fee.

All you need is A#.

you should inform your attorney before filing. USCIS will not return the fees.

Thanks Miladinabi

I dont have A# yet, since my application for 485 reached USCIS only on 2nd July. I have drafted 765 and i131 forms information correctly. But this one is not processed thru attornies. On bulletin it says that any 765/131 applications filed after 30th July, will have to be filed as per new fees guidelines.
Pls. advise me.
Thanks

I140 approval notice has A#

Rxindy,

Do you have a copy of your I140 approval notice? If you do it should have your A#.

Thanks,
Kaushik

Thanks Kaushik. I called USCIS yesterday regarding this question and the agent said I need receipt number or copy of my pending 485 to go along with the application for 765/131. Without that copy or proof, my application will be rejected. She asked me to file for 765/131 after I receive the RD information from USCIS.
I dont like this feeling.

At the risk of offending morons everywhere, your attorney is a moron.

Once the I-485 is ajudicated you have no need for an EAD or AP. You need to fire this idiot.

Why do you need I-131 and I-765 when your I-485 is approved. The approval of I-485 means you are now a green card holder. Is your lawyer really an immigration lawyer?
