Not much...HR neer to fill up form I-9 along with EVL..There is a list of steps if you want to file AC-21 on its own. let me know if you are intrested.
It is a little risk but every comapny doesn't offer H1 transfer and who offers pay will be less..so no need to take risk...
Oh yeah, Please post the procedure.
thanks
Are employers really worried about GC delays
Employers are literally weeping they can't get enough H1Bs. Do they really weep that much over the H1B turned I-485 applicant not getting GC faster ?
I don't think. Because the moment one gets GC they start to have more bargaining power. One good avenue to keep the employee is gone.

What MF---rs. They never stop bleeding immigrants white. I wouldn't be surprised if they attempt the same with naturalized citizens.
Leo_1003 and ybnyk, thanks for your replies. Did you two apply recently or was this some months back? Leo, did you apply in TSC too?
Also, I heard that getting receipts is a very slow process nowadays. Any recent experiences with EAD receipts, anybody?

The dates are approximate but +/- 1 or 2:
Letters (application) sent July 12
Receipt date July 28
Cards received August 29
Good luck!
I filed for me and for my wife on July 26. The notice date is July 31st. My approval notice was sent on Sept 12th. My wife's case is still pending. the service center is TSC.
Got the response from FBI FOIPA.....
Today I got the response letter from FBI on my request for FOIPA which was submitted last month. It came out with 'NO RECORD ON THE FBI MAIN FILES'. However, they are also mentioning that NNCP (AKA namecheck) is conducting search for the cross-reference files. It appears that FBI is protecting itself from any future arguments between this FOIPA and NNCP.
Anyway, I did one step. I will try writing letters to First Lady, Senators, Congressmen, etc from now on before I eventually file an WOM.

my first EAD/AD took a week to get approved. I applied for renewal on July 27but haven't heard back yet, no LUDs other than the received notice.
none of whats happening makes sence, either they are overwholmed with application from filer who tried to skip the rate hike last July or new "security" procedures are in place. I also think that USCIS is preparing for a flood of WOMs from filers who exhausted all other means and are willing to take it to the next step. Probably soon will see people adding WOM filing date to their signature and complaining that WOM processing date is stuck at some date
from Phily's mess to yet another mess.
LC PD June 2002, approved on October 2006, yes over 4 yrs
I-484 RD Nov 17, 2006, only received case LUD so far on Nov 22, 2006
none of my other cases got LUDS other than the received/approved ones

I assume you have a backup H1B to continue working. Did you try the interim-EAD?

Keep trying
My EAD renewal got approved in exactly 90 days. My wife's got approved after 120 days passed. This only happened after one InfoPass and one visit to our congressman's office.
My suggestion for you is keep trying. Never give up.

Couple more Qs.
Is interim-EAD still being issued? I read some posts to the contrary.
I'm pretty sure that you cannot work for the period between your current EAD expiring the renewal getting approved, but I would like people to confirm that this is the case. Can you continue working based on a receipt for a renewal app?

2nd RFE
I just got an email from USCIS stating that they sent me another letter requesting for furthur evidence. This is the second RFE that I get! I should probably have a butterfly in my belly for a week or so to see what else they are demanding.

It could be a request to redo the medical since it has been a year since you applied. In any case, someone looked at your file again, so I would take it as a positive for the time being (yes, RFEs are positive things nowadays in the world of namechecks).
that is really how I should behave now. It can be positive but for some reason I am anxious. Thank you
Which country ?
I'd see it as a positive sign rather than negative. Pls share with us after you get it. And of course I'd dial TSC right away to ask about the status of the NC.
I called TSC yesterday but couldn't get any new info from the lady I was speaking to. The only noteworthy thing about this call was that a month ago another TSC operator said they are not allowed to disclose the date the NC was initiated. Yestreday, this info was given to me even without me asking. Shows they don't have any guidelines, just improvising.
I will definitely let you guys know about the RFE and the results. The attorney of my company says that it is normal. He said that he has had clients who even got four RFEs!
