Both my husband and I have been using our AP for traveling for the last few years and he uses his EAD for his job. So trying to say that we don't use our H visas but his employers renew them anyway when its time to renew.
Our H visas are about to expire this week and the lawyers sent in the extension paperwork to INS in December. Somehow we never really followed up and recently realized that somehow my husband's H1 application either never reached there or got misplaced since they only sent my H4 receipt even though both were fedexed in the same envelope. His employers are going to file again.
Now we are planning to travel next month. So here are my questions:
1. Can we travel with our applications pending?
2. If INS considers our applications abandoned if we travel, does it make a difference, especially because we don't use our H status for either work or travel?
3. The lawyers are suggesting expedited/premium processing for my husband. How long does it tae these days (Vermont center) and can my H4 be filed along too even though one is pending since December (and I think it will remain pending forever because it has no corresponding H1 so how will they approve the H4)?
Thanks!

Some more information on this....I just spoke to another CSR @ NSC and asked her about Extended review....she mentioned that it is a normal process and that they have various agencies involved and that they r waiting for response ...did'nt mention what the agencies are or what is it that they r waiting on....also I asked her if I should take and INFOPASS appointment to find out more....she said that would'nt be of any help cause they will also not be willing to tell me more.....
She said wait for about 90 days and if you still don't here from us ..give us a call and we can then take it from there....
I guess I am going to stop worrying and expecting any results soon...lets just wait and see....
will keep u guys posted...
Cheers

Thanks for your reply.
By amendent, you mean we should send a letter with the additional document after we get the receipt? Will USCIS be able to match this additional document with the original file?
Has anybody done this before? Is there any official regulation on amendent?
Thanks a million for your help!

No need I-485 receipt.. I came on AP they didn't asked the receipts of I-485
even if they ask the copies are enough.
No need to worry if she has original AP.

Hi,
I am looking to switch employers. Although the job descriptions are pretty similar ( C coding, design, protocols etc.), my PERM was filed for Computer Software Engineer-Applications whereas the new one falls under Computer Software Engineer, Systems Software. Is this a risk during I-485 adjudication. Also my new salary is 50% higher than my original PERM salary (It has been almost 4 years since my original PERM).
Thanks.

having valid AP at any time, even though is not a legal requirement, is a necessity due to potential emergency travel to home country or any other country. Hence it is safe to reapply AP 2-3 months before expiry and EAD 3-4 months before expiry. This will give you peace of mind.

I received a duplicate order from Hewlett-Packard. Per the customer service person I was instructed to remove the shipping label and write the return number on the box, then call Fed Ex for a pickup, all of which I did. Now, a few weeks later my credit card account has not been credited. I've called the customer service people several times, and received a transmitting tracking number for the return. I've called Fed Ex who say what I have is not adequate to track the item supposedly sitting at their warehouse. I've spoken to the supervisor at HP, and she, like everyone else, keeps referring my problem to the "return specialist", who is supposed to query Fed Ex about this, but nothing happens. Their excuse is that they don't have the actual tracking number to do this. One HP rep I spoke to told me that the return item had not been scanned since the initiation of the return, implying negligence. Yeah somebody dropped the ball. Where do I go next to get some action taken?

No new PIO card is required unless 15 yrs is up. Get it endorsed with the new passport # on your PIO card from the embassy/consulate.

Dear Friends,
I have changed my employer after 180 days of my pending I-485. I have not communicated USCIS about this. I was able to renew my EAD, and AP online with proper documentation without any issues.
I am planning to travel to India on Advance Parole now. Wondering if I can show my former employer's documentation such as I-485, I-140 approvals if anything arises while going or returning. Do you anticipate any issues with this? or do I need to carry any information about current employer, and my Job?. Appreciate your help.
--Raj.

Client just called and asked for a change of status from B2 visitor to F1 student. I said, great we can help, but when does your status expire. He said, no worries I am good for 10 years!!! Been here for 4 only.
I said: No you are not, the I-94 (little white card in the passport) is what controls your status, this only good for 6 months max. I heard a loud sound of falling and silence. For those who are in the U.S. temporarily as nonimmigrants, the most important date to track is perhaps the expiration date of their I-94 arrival / departure cards. The I-94 is a small card that is usually stapled into one's passport. It is obtained in one of two ways. It can be issued by a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer at the port of entry upon arrival in the United States. It can also be issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) when one is granted an extension or change of nonimmigrant status from within the United States.
The I-94 card reflects how long one is permitted to stay in the United States, provided s/he complies with the terms of her/his status. Occasionally, the CBP or USCIS will issue an I-94 card with an erroneous date (either issuing an approval for a longer period than is permitted by law or granting an individual less time than appropriate.) In either case, one should immediately obtain competent legal advice on the proper steps to correct the error.
One should never rely upon an erroneous grant of more time in a nonimmigrant category than was requested or than one is eligible to receive. So if you are pending change of status for 2 years, it does not mean that you are legal for 2 years.
It is important to remember that the expiration date on a visa stamp in the passport and the expiration date on the I-94 card are often not the same. The visa is an entry document, only. The time that one is actually allowed to remain in the United States after an entry could be much shorter or longer than the duration of the visa.
The appropriate amount of time is determined by the CBP at the port of entry. This is based on applicable law as well as the CBP's discretion.

I just noticed on USCIS website that all 4 of our family's I-485 (myself, wife, 2 children) have new LUD of 4/1/2009.
The message still says "case received and pending" on all cases.
I wonder what it means?
Thanks.

Well, He doesn't know a whole lot about immigration issues.
I already have my green card so I don't have anything to hide.
I just need some advice because he's in a different field. (engineering) and I got mine in Market Research.

You should join your state chapter through the IV forums. State Chapter volunteers should plan to contact local politicians and meet them face to face. Nothing is more powerful than visiting face to face and impressing upon politicians how important this issue is.
But again mailing is also a great idea. I have the following link for House Representatives who got elected recently:
http://asp.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/vote2006/NationalElectionResultsByStateCounty.aspx?sp=CA&oi=H&rti=G&&tf=l
USATODAY.com
You can look up their contact information at
http://www.house.gov/writerep/
Senate has always backed us. It is the house that has stonewalled us for last two years. So I tend to believe it is better to contact House Reps
