Yes they need proof of your being able to get back to USA. At my time, I didn't had EAD or AP in-hand.
You can use private company as mentioned below. As far as I know the company I contacted was based in DC and they said they only process for US citizens. So I had to do on my own thru Chicago consulate office of Germany.
All you need is proof that you shall get entry back in USA.
I got my German visa through www.visanetwork.com
They take some fee but would get Visa for you. They make sure all your papers are OK and would tell you what to do.

I think this is what is happening in your cases,
If you efile for your AP and If your last fingerprinting was done 18 months before Then you will get Fingerprinting notice and you got to go n give new finger prints.
If you paper file, Whether or not your FP expired (18 months) you will never get finger printing notice. (unless your PD is current and they are adjudicating your case and sending a RFE).
Always better to paper file.

On Dec 14, 2007, I received an I-140 RFE for "ability to pay the offered wage".
According to the attorney, the RFE was responded to with necessary evidence.
On Apr 07, 2007 I received a I-140 denial notice stating that the RFE reply wasn't received on time. As a result it caused an automatic I-485 denial as well.
Now, I am not sure what my options are. Is it possible to ask USCIS to reconsider the case. Can i appeal?
Please advise.
Thanks
Perhaps you can file I-140 again?

Do you mean, file I-140 first and wait till it's approved before you file for 485? If that's what you are thinking, my advise is that filing for 485 is not a luxury that you can avail yourself whenever it suits you. You must grab the chance as soon as your PD is current becaue you never know when it would be current again unless of course you fall in to EB2 ROW or a higher category. And please note that these days I-140 takes much longer than 6 months to get approved and Premium Processing is no longer in the offer.
Hi All,
Are there any risks of filing 140 & 485 together? I just talked to an attorney & she said that it is better to get 140 approved 1st before filing 485, as when you file concurrent, the files go to inexperienced officers who will not judge your case properly.
When you file 140 separately, the file goes to officers who only deal with 140's.
Does anybody on here know of these risks/disadvantages of filing concurrently. I was under the impression that it was better to do this, but now I stand contradicted!

Dear Friends,
Thank you for your claification. As suggested I have posted a registered post (politely writing him the facts and the continued attempt) to him. Knowing his attitude I decided to do some research on DOL. It looks like we can only call DOL thats located in Michigan. Because thats where this Unscrupulous employer is located.
Kind Regards
Arjun

I work in Health Insurance domain so if you need help in understanding the technical terms, may be I can help.
Kaiser Permanente mght be a good option if you are buying at individual level. I am not sure if they provide services in TN but if they do, then I would go for it. It is a HMO plan but KP hospitals provide reasonably good services at reasonable price in California.
Thanks for all your response. Kaiser does not provide in TN. when I get into trouble understanding the technical terms, i'll PM you.

For the experts on this board, my H1 expires on 9/30/07. Should I wait till after Aug. 17 to qualify for a 3-year extension?

No reason to deny your 7th year H1 extension based on the fact that it is for a different role. It DOESNT have to be "same or similar" for this case.
But the "same or similar" comes into picture for your 485 approval. Well........ at that time ... if the original LC position is still available for you permanently, no issues.
What happens to the GC petition? I guess that is probably also Amit's concern in the long term

All,
I am starting this thread to track I-485 applications that did not receive receipt notices yet after filing in July-August
I filed on August 15th
No receipt notice yet as of Nov, 5, 2007
Anybody else in similar situation ?
My attorney received attorney's copy of 485/140 notices on Nov-14-2007. I didn't receive my copy so far as I had moved after filing my 485. However I used attorneys copies for filing my EAD etc.

---Thank you Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren,
For supporting the immigrant community after the July update bulletin fiasco.
---Thank you Mr. Emilio Gonzalez (and other people ), for doing the right thing by reinstating the original july bulletin.
I am in a shock right now. I have never seen a government (anywhere else in the world) agency backtrack on a proposed policy based on public reaction.
Hats off to you.
---Thank you IV CORE and other key members, for the organizing the efforts!
God bless America!

USCIS local offices no longer issues interim EADs. Go to immigration.com and and bring up July/August 2006 newsletter.
You can schedule infopass & meet a local officer after 90 days. But he will only forward you request to the main center and ask them to either process your case quickly or issue an interim EAD.
But since the main center will be badly backlogged from now on, I wonder how they can even process interim EADs? If they can do it, they may as well do regular EADs?
I recall reading somewhere that with the new scheme, EADs were guranteed to be issued within 90 days and so no interim EADs were produced. But this 90 day limit will change in the next few weeks.

I am EB3 (Aug 07) because of my lawyer�s mistake; but in June they asked for further medical testing, it can be a good sign they are looking into EB3.

Almond I agree with you completely...I am not against questions being asked or answering questions...This community has been helpful to me in the past and I would be more than welcome to lend support....but a little effort would'nt harm....
There is a saying "SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND...." No matter how old the information its always possible to dig it out...not only using this forumn search but also google search....I just hope people try and seek before ..that's all

Is a lawyer necessary to file PERM? What are the cons of not hiring a lawyer and doing it ourselves?
You are not even supposed to involve in any of the PERM process. Its plain illegal. only your employer should handle it.

I did a very similar thing.
My h1b expires in sept 07, and an extension was applied in april 07. My PD became current in June, and I applied for AOS with AP and EAD.
Approval for my H1B extension came through mid June (after AOS application) and only for 1 year (as opposed to 3 if my PD was not current).
I now have AP approval and EAD is still pending, but I'm planning on using these to travel with when fully realized.
