Question:
1). I called campany lawyer last friday and she said she is going to send I-485 out. Is company aware of my layoff? If not, should I tell the truth to her?
2). Usually, how does company pay the fee to lawyer? Step by step?
3). Is company going to notify INS about my situation? I talked w/ HR representative who said - probably not.
4). Company lawyer filed EAD, advance parole w/ I-485. Since current IT situation and my situation (4 yrs H1b), I like to use EAD to find a job if I get EAD. What kind of Risk?
5). it is said finger print needs company job verification. Is that true?
Thanks in advance!!!!!

Re: urgent help

Help me!!!!
This is a DESPER. I just posted help for I-485 and layoff. Company attorney DID lie to me. She did not send it out and my company HR also DID lie to me and HR representative stoped company attorney processing. Company attorney said the all doc can be returned to me. I am not sure if it includes the company employment verification. Questions:

1). Can I file 485 by myself or hire attorney to do this? if attoney, can anybody give me recommendation? if no company employment verification and original I-140 approval form.
2). If filed by myself or attorny I hired, I have to file EAD. b/o current IT situtation, it is impossible to find a job within a month. therefore, how is my status? Although company package as regular check ends in Dec.


Please help!!!! This is urgent!!
 
it is a risk

but u have nothing to loose. go ahead and file it through some lawyer who is willing to do it or by ur self
but do it fast
 
File the whole package by yourself ASAP.

As soon as TSC issues you receipt notice for I-485, you are in status. Copy of I-140 notice is OK. Hope the company letter is there. If it is not, file the application without it and wait for RFE. Hope by that time you can find a similar job, or the company can take you back. Giving the current TSC processing speed, your case will not be touched in 6 months, and thus you will be protected by AC21. If you receive the FP in 5 months of the filing, you can delay the FP, thus delay the I-485 processing. That is the technical method to delay the I-485 processing.

This is not a legal advice. Take it in your own risk. But you may have no other choice.
 
emp. letter

Does the package include a letter of employment? You will need that to file 485. Even if you have all the documents, without this letter 485 can not be considered.
