RFE Recvd (VSC) 8/11/2000
485 Approved Auto Msg 8/24/2000
Called INS Auto Msg probably every week once around friday far the past
                      2 months.

Called INS IIO(?) NO. I did not like to call, since it is not going
                      help much and it is waste of time, unless you have
                      a case which is needed a IIO to look in.

Called my Lawyer Once to make sure whether he recvd. RFE or Not.

Wish I like every one there to get their approval in time
                      without much of hassle.

Frustrating at Peak It was quite frustrating when I could not go to
                      India in May 1999 when my mom passed away, because I
                      was out of H1 and waiting for receipt at the least
                      to get an Express AP.

Appreciations To every one who puts their details and share their
                      joy or pain. Of course, It is Mr. Khanna who should
                      be commended for providing a place for all of us to
                      share our views.

                      And a Big thanks for all the help provided by my
                      attorney Mr. Allen Jackson, right from start of my
                      H1 to 485. Man he is so good, He will redo the paper
                      and send it back to me, If I have done any mistake
                      in filling the forms.

Sury,

Congrats. Guess what I am also sailing in the same boat. My PD is 6/96. I applied for 485 on 7/18/00. Death in the family on 7/21. I got 485 receipt 8/19. My wife went to Local Office at Cherry Hill and got AP. But they dont issue EAD.

My wife will be going next week to India and for me my lawyer advises not to go w/o EAD. So waiting for it day and night.

Anyway congrats, I know how frustrating it is.

Take care.

I really feel sorry for you.

Yes the lawyer is correct, if you are out of H1 (six years). Because when you come back they ask for EAD at times to show as the proof that you have some id to work.

In my case, when we re-entered on AP, the Imm. Officer asked my wife also to show EAD.

It will be tough to handle this situation. Hope you get out of this with out much problem.
