Recent experience with family-based immigration application at NBC?

meers said:
My lawyer said that if i had an offer letter stating the start date pretty soon, there are chances that i might be given interim. so i m just trying my luck out.

I just moved to Dallas from Los Angeles..i have H1 from the company in LA. I got an offer from a company in Dallas and they have already waited a month for me. i m just working for my former company till i can start with this new one. That is the reason i want EAD really soon.

Then I think you should just file for H1-B transfer. You can start working as soon as you get the Notice of Receipt from USCIS. I am sure you will have your EAD before the H1-B is approved or denied.
 
Hi everyone,

I have a question about filing the form of I-864 (to show the finanical support to the immgrant.) I am now currently employed and I have stayed at US for 1.5 years only. I don't have the three years evidence of paying taxes in US. So, I need a sponsor to support me? , or it is enough for me to support myself. BTW, my salary now is greater than 1.25 times the poverty level. Thanks
 
Yes, you will need a co-sponsor and will need to file I-864A. You can also show assets to support yourself if getting a co-sponsor is a problem.
 
Can I show that I have worked at other countries, not in US, before I came to US. Can I show the offer letter or employment letter in other countries or bank account in US? I heard from someone said that as sponsor, you need to have a current job only. They didn't say at least working at US for three years. Thanks for your reply.
 
hey

where is everybody havent heard from anyone in a while so just wondering if anyone got their approval or interview letter lately.
 
EAD problem

Hello all: I have this question for you if could help me.

I applied for AOS (I sent I-485, I-864, I-765, I-130 to Chicago lockbox)based on Marriage to USC. My timeline is as follows:

RD: April 29th, 2005
ND: May 25th, 2005
FP/Biometrics: June'25th, 2005
RFE for Medical: July '16th
Medical Submitted/Received: August 16th, 2005
I-485 LUD: August, 29th, 2005


But NO EAD yet :mad: !! I talked to CSC Hotline manytimesa bout my I-765 and they said after 90 days you can go to DO and get a Interim one. On Sept, 6th, way past 90 days from ND, I went to Detroit DO to get an Interim one because I have job lined up for a presitigious IT consulting company. But they refused to give me interim because apparently when I did my FP, I was supposed to tell the ASC people that I have applied for I-765 also and they will send the FP file to I-765 adjudication as well as for I-485. And the immigration officer said, "Maybe, that is why your I-765 is on hold." And apparently he didn't on what ground I was seeking EAD because he asked me, "Are you doing your AOS on LIFE act, Legalization?" I said, "No sir, I am doing on the basis on my wife being a USC." Then he sort of fiddled with the computer and said, "Your I-765 application has C29 code etc etc :confused: " which by the way I didn't fully realize what it was about. BTW, at the time FP/Bio I took ALL my receipts with me but they only stamped on my I-485 receipt and NOT on my I-765 receipt. Oh!, then the DO officer told me, " Go back to ASC and tell them to send your FP for I-765 also". When I asked, "Can I just walk in or do I have to make an appointment?" he sort of raised his shoulder.."Yes, Yes..just call hmmm"..He didn't know what he wanted me to do.can you believe it?? Then he said, "Your application (which one?? :confused: ) is on hold since August 23rd and you have to call the hotline to see why?" Well, then I left.

I came back and called USCIS hotline and talked to a Immigration officer on the phone and asked her, "Can you tell me what DO officer was talking about and why i can't get my interim EAD?" She said, "I don't know why he referrerd you to us, they at the DO have much more information than we do here". And then she explained about RFE and how that reset the ND for EAD. She couldn't clarify what or why or which of my appliation is on hold. When I asked "Is my application complete now?" She said, "As of August 16th, your I-485 application is complete".

Oh..BTW: LUD on my I-765 is Sept'06,2005, the day I went for interim EAD.

My question is : Is it true you have to go for two FP/Bio for I-485 and I-765?? Isn't it supposed to be one FP for both of those applications? Then why DO officer (and honestly he didn't seemed to know what was wrong either, he sort of looked apologetic (from his body language) when he declined to give me interim EAD!!) asked me to go back to ASC and tell them to resubmit my same FP/Bio for I-765? D

Do you have any experience about these sort of things? what is going on?
 
Columbus,OH better?

Hi,
I have filled my GC in Virginia in 2003 and it was fine, got my EAD , conditional GC in reasonable time. Now I have the conditional GC and we have moved to Ohio and planning to apply the 751 (removal or condition on GC).

Does any one know how is it in OH? I mean is it fast or slow or fine.

Thanks,

Your NOA for I-485 and I-765 would have differnt ASC codes on them. So when you schedule your FP appointmet, the rep asks you for both the codes and combines them into one appt. To answer your question, YES, you need to get 2 sets of FP done; one for the 485 and one for the 765 and most of the times it is combined into one appointment.

Once you have your FP done, the ASC would put a seal on your NOA for 485 and 765. This is the proof that you completed your FP. If you dont find this seal on your NOA for 765, then most probably you did not complete your FP for EAD. Which means you would have to apply for a new EAD as the previous one would have been cancelled as you did not get your FP done in the given time.
 
Thanks

THanks a lot!! Do you think I should go to ASC Center tomorrow morning to see if they will do it on spot?? Because when I called Hotline to make an appointment, they said, "Since you already have your FP, we can't schedule you for another one!".. Now what?
 
I mean

Do you think they have to do the same things all over again or they can just send the previous set of FP/Bio for I-765 which is stalled at this point?

You can walk in to ASC and tell them that they forgot to take the FP and biometrics for I765. Show them that you I485 has already been stamped. They should let you go in and do your FP and take your picture. Ask nicely and they hopefully will understand. Tell them that there was some kind of confusion the last time you went and this is why your FP for I765 were no taken. Try to get there in the morning. They should be able to help you if they are not busy.
 
Thanks a LOOOTTT!!

thanks for the blessing... really need it now to reduce the number of days i have to wait for my EAD to get approved... LOL! :D

Good luck to you.
 
Update

Hey Guys, I just wanted to tell you that following your advice I went this morning to Grand Rapids, MI ASC and after a brief scary (which ended with a joke) from the immigration officer, she permitted me to get the FP/Bio for my I-765 without a prior appointment. So, basically, I just explained my situtation, put a real " me sooo sorrrry" :D face and got it done. Hopefully, now, my EAD will get approved and I will be joining my new job..Hey..Ari4U and OptMo especially..Thanx to you..Hope u get lucky also.
 
Hi everyone!
I applied for a GC based on marriage with USC. My local office is Washington,DC. Here is my timeline:


05/18/2005 sent I-485/I-130/I-765 to Chicago, IL
06/09/2005 NOA for all three
07/26/2005 FP
08/08/2005 received EAC
Now waiting for an interveiw.

My question is about I-130. I have read all posts here, and for some reason no one mentioned when his/her I-130 was approved. Does it mean that people who file I-130 with I-485 do not receive I-130 approval at all?

Thank you in advance!
