Similar threads have been started before as lot of LUD's have been seen on 07/22 07/28 08/05 and 08/12. I think concensus was that this has nothing to do with 485 data entry as check cashing did not match the LUD dates. But interesting pooint raised in this thread that it might be about which july apps to batch transfer from LIN to SRC. 07/22 might be around the time when LIN started to look at first few july filers apps.

What happens if your I-485 is denied? Are you able to fix any issues or do you start all over? And on what grounds would they deny?

If we want to read sports related news we can go to news sites. People should refrain from creating such threads which are completely unrelated to IV.

I have filed for and recieved AP twice so far. I have done both paper and e-filing and combinations. When I lawyer files, he e-files. When I do it - I paper file. I have done different combinations. First time, with 485 - lawyer filed both for me and wife. Next year, my company suddenly decided they dont want to pay the lawyer fee for the dependent AP/EAD - so I paper-filed for my wife while mine was e-filed. Next year - my company decided to pay for both and my lawyer did e-filed mine and paper-filed my wife's application (dont know why).
Based on my experience (which is pretty extensive on both modes of filing as explained above for both AP and EAD) - I will always perfer paper filing. It has always been faster, easier and less hassle for me.
It sounds counter-intuitive that paper-filing would be faster/easier than e-filing - but that is USCIS for you.

Ask your attorney to draft the experience letter. It may not be copied toto but support letter should cover the main points in the draft.

1. To travel out you won't have a problem. Just ensure that the ticketing agent takes the expired I94. Your really don't need the copy of your I485
2. You can travel through any country but most countries ie. UK, France etc. will require you to apply for a trasit visa (that can take some time) In your case I would fly direct from NY to India. There are flight that also take you direct to Dubai and then you can fly Dubai to India. Try and skip Europe that will save you money (in visa applications) and time.
Now when you come back to the US you MUST have either a valid unexpired H1B visa stamped on your passport and/or you will have to carry your Advance Parole (make sure you have 2 copies. Do not relinquish your orginal. The INS officer at the airport will retain a copy). Also it is recommended that you have your I485 receipt info with you and a copy of a letter from your employer. I recommed that you get a full list of items that you need to carry with you from your lawyer so that when you come back you don't have issues at the POE.
Have a safe trip :)
Hi
My wife need to travel to india urgently. Our visa/I94 expired in Oct. We already applied 485 and is pending.
1) Will there be any issue at airpot as I94 is expired.A xerox copy of 485 receipt is sufficient.
2) Does she need to travel any path in this case( I heard thru London is issue if visa is expired.France/Amsterdam Etcc..)
Thanks in advance.

If PA members can't make it to the rally, I suggest that members can atleast cheer and meet up with other members who are in transit (eg, provide moral support, refreshments, by meeting at some rest area in MD or DE)

H1B is a work permit and as a dentist she can't work without a license. So H1B can't be filed without a license as she fails to meet minimum requirements to work.

Hello!
I am in a similar situation. My Passport expires on June 16th 2009, so I got a I-94 that a D/S Date of June 15th 2009. My H1B and I-797 is valid till Oct 22 2009. My Employer contacted me last week saying that my work status expires on June 15th and I need to show new work status to continue working.
As per my attorney, the date on the latest I-94 is THE most important date which dictates how long you can be legally employed as a non-immigrant, it is NOT the date on H1B stamp or I-797 (I-94 date is always equal or earlier than the date on I-797).
So, I am lucky to have EAD through my wife's GC application and I am being forced to switch status to EAD. Since my wife and I work for the same company, I am very worried switching to EAD as there are layoffs imminent in my wife's department, which poses risk to her and me too (if I am on EAD).
One line answer: Your wife should switch to EAD right before her I-94 expires.
My obvious advice is to consult a lawyer.
Anyone on the forum, if you think what I said is wrong, please correct me.

Hi:
I filed on July 23, I-140 and 485 concurrent.
I got EAD on 5th Oct.
I had fingerpring done on OCT12.
Whne Fingerprinting was done, with 2 of my fingers, it gave message
Warning !!!!!!!! Matched (with RED color) . Rest all fingers, it displayed passed with Green color.
Does it mean it matches with some kind of FBI database and Do I need to worry about it?
Please help gurus. I have lost my sleep.
Thanks

I also exactly same cris email as legal_A_IN_limbo yesterday. My employer revoked my H1B.
Do not go by wordings of this message. I have not heard any message that says that previously approved H1B is revoked. I think, this is standard message that indicates that H1B has been revoked.

Thanks four response. Do you have any format to write a letter to Senator or congressman?
I created a letter by myself with detailed explanation of my problem. That included My I-140 and I-485 and my wife details as well. That was not necessary though.
Most senators have their own "PRIVACY ACT RELEASE FORM" on their website. If you call them they will explain you what they need and they will fax you the empty forms. Trust me; they will guide you in the right direction. All you need to do is to call your local Senator office, they are very professional.
