I-485 some concerns
Hello All,
I was off this forum for few weeks, now back to exchange your thoughtful opinions. POJ, remember me, I was waiting on RFEs on me and my wife's I-485. Finally they came after 3 and half months later to my attorney's address inspite of letting USCIS-TSC know in writting and over the phone that my attorney is no longer providing me any legal service, any way, my ex-attorney was nice enough to mail me those RFEs. Our RFEs asked for legal status for 7 years (I sent all I-20s, I-94s), EVL, 2003-04 tax returns, last three paystubs. I expressmailed them on 6/03/05. I have following questions, if any of you can shade some light on those:
1. Does USCIS acknowldge the RFE after I send them via mail besides Online update, if so where do they mail the acknowledgement to attorney or me?
2. Then where do they send the RFE response besides online update, to me or the attorney?
I would like to share a scenario with you and hopefully some of you can response to help me:
You know my situation from above, now, I have Canadian Permanent residency in July 2002, according to Canadian immigration rule, out of 5 years residency period one can stay outside Canada for maximum of three years and this July,05 my three years would be exhausted and if I want to keep Canadian PR card I must go to Canada this July. On the other hand, I have my I-140 approved, waiting on RFE response. What should I do? Here is what I am planning and need any of your help to see if my plan is solid or not. We have Advance Parole, planning to go to Canada in this July (I do not think TSC will response to RFEs by June- telling from Saras and banglababu's situations) to Keep Canadian PR status and then if we get approval by AUG.16, 2005 (that is when my wife's AP will expire), then can be back to USA by using AP. I have couple of questions on that, if somebody could help:
1. While going to Canada by car, should I submit our I-94s to Canadian officials? I guess it is important to surrender I-94s so that there is no problem during entry to USA.
2. If we decide to use AP to return to USA from Canada can we do that eventough the grounds for AP was to go to native country.
If you could put yourself in my shoes (I understand may not fit) and tell me what would you do, I would greatly appreciate it. Regards.
