Here is my classic quote:
Please accept my sincere "Shame on You" compliment, if you fit all of the following:
a) Have a IV membership ID on the forums.
b) Been visiting IV forums in the last 1-12 months.
c) Have not contributed a single penny to the IV cause. [MOST IMPORTANT]
d) Will be benefited from IV work.
I wonder how you can live with yourself benefiting from the sweat of others.
To rectify this, please contribute asap. :)

This memo was discussed extensively on this forum in the past and many lawyers have given their opinion.
Summary: You don't need to worry. As long as you are on AOS, you are authorized to stay in the country irrespective of your I-94 expiry date.
Here is the memo
http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/revision_redesign_AFM.PDF
Here is what Ron Gotcher said:
I don't care what the non-binding policy memo says, it can't trump a duly promulgated regulation. Indeed, I don't think that they were trying to do that. The problem stems from the fact that the policy memo is a lot of inarticulate babble and is very hard to decipher. In any case, it is a memo, not a statute or a regulation and it must bow in the face of a regulation with contradictory information.

I applied for EAD renewal for my spouse. Earlier also i did renewal myself , but online.
This time however i applied manually but forgot to send both front & back of EAD. Instead i just sent front side only. Check was clearly written, photos with A#, Copy of 485 (both sides)
May be a silly question, will it be any issue?
Copy of 485 receipt
Copy Front and back of current EAD
Photos with A# and name in the back (With Pencil/Felt Pen)
Check for 340 Payable to US Department of Homeland Security" (with A#/Name in the memo section) -- Separate checks

I wonder when illegal can demonstrate, why can't we unite and organize some demonstartions to explain our frustrations and demands.
A lot of discussion happened on this topic in the past and the general consensus was that it will boomerang on us. We should not be demonstrating/protesting/demanding.
Welcome to the world of white collar politics.:)

Wow...wait a minute here.
He does not have the stamp in his passport for the new employer. If he has already quit his old employer for which he has the H1B stamp, then he probably must have a new stamp(for latest H1) for re-entering.
First of all, he would be using his new I-94 that is attached to the new H1 he just got from his new employer. So his departure record would show him working for new employer. When he comes back, if he doesnt have visa Hstamp for the new employer, then it would be a problem, I am pretty sure.
Better check with a lawyer newh1user. I am pretty sure you will need new H1 stamp that is tied to new I-797 if you exit USA and give your latest I-94 when leaving.
Also, think about getting an H1 stamp overseas in Europe while you are at this situation. If you have a bachelors or masters degree from United States, then getting H1 stamping in countries other than your home country is not a big challenge.
Hi Logiclife: if one has an unexpired H1 visa stamp, one can re-enter the country as long as he can show an I797 approval from the new employer. Change of employers does not invalidate an H1 visa stamp.

My I-94 is expiring in a month. I have used Advance parole to enter US after a vacation about a year back. How do I renew my I-94 card? Does anybody know...
Even though you entered using AP, you might be able to extend your nonimmigrant status. As the prior answer says, this is not necessary but many employees like to have it in case the AOS is denied for any reason.
It is also useful because if your EAD expires and you have not received a new one, you cannot work even if a new application is pending. On the other hand, if your H-1B (for example) has expired but the company timely filed an extension, you can keep working while the extension is pending.

Hello,
My I485 was filed at TX center. However it was transferred to VSC for data entry and they generated the receipt number.
Receipt date = 03-Aug-2007
Notice Date = 12-Oct-2007
On 20-Oct, VSC then transferred the case back to TSC and generated a transfer notice with date of 20-Oct-2007
For the AC21/180 day I always thought that the counting would start in my case from 03-Aug. However my company lawyer says that it will start from 20-Oct and I am at a complete loss on this..
Is it really true.
This is really urgent since I stand to lose out big time on an excellent job offer.
What are my options here - Is there any documentation that I can show to him that I am correct (If I am).
Thanks.

I was in a similar situation.. not exaclty the same...
I had an approved I 140 and then I got the Notice of Intent To Deny, similar reason. This is what I did.
- I called my unversity and asked them to send me a detail syallbus of the courses I attended
- A letter from a third part evaluator
- An indetail letter from my HR as to what my courses where and how the courses pertain to my work.
- A detailed letter from the attorney.
looks like you do not have any thing to worry, if you took math courses and your syllabus states that then you should be ok. Make sure that you mention in very much detail and repetedly about the courses you took so that they wont miss it. Good luck I am certian you will be ok.
Just out of curiosity, how can they issue intent to deny to an approved 140?

I am about to start my GC processing under EB3 category. I know my chances are extremely extremely slim. I am filing for GC hoping that CIR or some other bill to clear GC backlog passes.
My question is .. How much time would it take to clear all the pending GC cases once the bill is passed ?
I am assuming 2 years. Am I correct ?
I read somewhere on the internet that a similar situation arised in the past (may be year 2000 or 2001), and when a bill was passed to clear the backlog, after few months (for bill signing and other paperwork) everyone with I-140 approvals were eligible to apply for I-485.
Is the situation that exists today any different than it was in year 2000 or 2001 ?
Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

And depending on how long you have been on H1 and if the University is a State Univ, your wife can also qualify for in state Tuition fee. These days its very rare for MS students to get funding. You can save some money that way.

Not sure about H1B, but I know this that she has to get give some certification exams for the state that she wants to practice from. A friend's wife got a certification done and then she worked in the US, and her employer filed for her GC and the GC was approved in 6 months in 2006. They are from India. I believe the US has a huge need for physiotheraphists and so under some rule/quota they get a GC very fast.
That schedule A category is long gone and PT's from every where are now just EB-3.

Lazycis,
Did you inform USCIS after you invoked AC21? Thanks!
No. Both times it was a large company (one has an agreement with a big law firm to handle immigration-related issues). I asked my current employer's attorney about it and she told me not to worry, they never had issues with AC21 portability (employer has 120,000+ employees). She was right regarding my case.

I travelled thru Frankfurt last december. No need of Transit visa, no hassels; though Air-hostess that hands out I-94 card did not know what AP meant. I boarded at Bangalore airport and Lufthansa staff at check-in were aware of AP. At immigration in chicago, the guy gave me a short lecture- AP should be used only for emergency purpose etc; I jsut nodded and he stamped the I-94 and AP doc
If some one is on EB3 and waiting for their GC and only god knows when the wait will be over.Does immigration officers at port of entry expect us to wait for emergencies to travel on AP ? if not wait years or decades to get GC and travel.
This is quite ridiculous and insane.:(

Any specifics on the interview? Were you asked any documents to submit? Was the interview for both the applicant and the dependent?
SoP
Yes, I had been provided a standard list of documents to come prepared with. Some of them included:
1. All EAD's APs's
2. I 94
3. Tax returns last 3 years
4. If I have changed employers ac21, and paystubs( in my case I did, so I took copies of Ac21 EVL and recent paystubs)
5. Passport
6. Drivers license
7. All H1b's
8. Marriage certificate
There were other items in the list, but were not relevant to my case.
My ( and my wife's) interview happened July 30th in chicago at 8 am . I was asked to take an oath, and asked for some of the above documents one by one specially 4, and 1, 6 and 8. The IO had my complete file, and asked confirmatory questions on the information that I had provided in I485 form. It was a pleasant experience, and since my dates were not current then, he asked me to wait until it becomes current. Since I had 2 I 140's attached to my ac21 eVL , I reiterated that my case has been current in the past and I am EB2 and he was initially surprised, because he had not checked that I had a second I140, and said that he will make a special notation on my case that it was Eb2 and not Eb3 as was mentioned on the comments on the first page on the file( my gosh!!that was an eye opener inspite of my having provided all the right papers, and inspite of being together in a single file that they had right in front of me, the notation on the top still considered me as Eb3). My wife, who is a dependent on my case was asked same questions one by one. It took less than 30 minutes for both of us.
So, I am keeping my fingers crossed for Sept..........and I would like to think of myself as preadjuciated:) I received a soft LUD the very next day with no status change.
hope that answers all your questions
