I am filing for Advance Parole for my wife. What documents do you suggest I submit along with the application in addition to those listed on USCIS website? What is a better option to use - e-filing or via regular mail?
She plans to travel around last week of February. Is there a way to expedite processing of the AP document? Do I need to buy an airline ticket for her in advance to show the urgency of AP?
Response will be greatly appreciated!

Disclaimer: I'm not an immigration attroney, so consult one for your situations as laws and filing procedures are changing constantly.
most companies do the same (stop paying for H4) after initial yrs of working with them. i think they have to pay for H1 but i dont think for H4. it is easier to file the extension for H4 visa along with H1, i think it will be like 3-4 pages. i think it is somewhere around 200 for H4 (but fees changes often. check USCIS website).
send the I-539 filled and signed application to the company (with payment/reqd documents) and ask them to file both at the same time so that H4 will be approved when H1 is approved. goodluck:)
My company has just changed the rules. From now they are unwilling to pay the costs incurred in the visa extensions for the spouse.
Is this legal? Does anyone have any links etc that I can pass on to HR if this is illegal. Thanks.

To be on safe side, I suggest you first get 3 yr. ext. and then change your job.
"After job change can I use old PD ? Can I apply EB2 perm after changing job ?"
Answer of first question, yes you can use your old PD only if your current employer (old if you change job) does not revoke it.
second answer, you can apply in perm-eb2 with new employer as you now have more exp. (old job).
But still check with another lawyer.

sorry to hear about your job loss. AP are supposed to be used during emergencies and it seems you are only planning for a week visit, seems perfect for AP use.
I have used AP many times, never had any problem, most recent visit being in Jan 2009.
H1B is having lot of problems in getting stamped and at POE, but I haven't heard anything like that for AP travelers. Just remember that if I485 is denied for whatever reason, AP also gets invalidated(Meaning out-of-country AP holders won't be able to return!!!!).
I would say go ahead travel on AP. How long can one put life on hold for GC. Its ridiculous.
File AC21 at the soonest to avoid getting denial.
Also check this thread for 'AOS pending and AP while out of country'. http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?p=330716#post330716 (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?p=330716)

I am sorry if this has been asked 100 times before and would appreciate if someone can provide a linky.
Is it okie to have gap between AP renewals or is it a problem?
Thanks
-p
It is ok to have gap between AP renewals even when you are using EAD as work authorization. You are ok if did not apply for AP during the entire I-485 wait time, even if you are using EAD or used AC21 to change employer. You need valid AP only on the day you leave US, period of stay outside of US and the date you enter back into US when waiting for I-485 approval. In the same manner, you need not even apply for EAD if you do not plan to use EAD card or the gaps between EAD period is also ok as long as you are not using EAD as your work authorization, and you have other work authorization like valid H1/J1.
EAD & AP are just like Add-ons to your computer. They are not mandatory, but you definately want them at the time you want to use them.
Hope this answers your question.

Thanks,

After 4.5 years, you can file for Naturalization. You may want to keep a tab on which companies you worked for, period, pay etc starting from the day you entered in USA, keep copies of all previous W2 in safe place. Also, prepare a spreadsheet of when you were out of the country starting from the day you entered here. All the above will be required while filling up forms for naturalization.
Visit other forums/threads to see what is required and prepare for it. you have long time to go though.
Good luck.

I happened to read the following on a different thread on IV
"for cases that has to be filed by overnight courier that is by the USPS Express Mail the center will only pick up mails from the U.S Postal Service once a day and in the morning. Therefore any mail that is not picked up in the morning will be picked only the following day and is given a next day receipt date."
Does it mean that any packages that were sent out yesterday(Thursday) will be delivered today(Friday), but USCIS will only pick it up on Monday morning and then assign Monday as the receipt date? Anyone with some knowledge on this, please clarify.

I posted this question on another thread but its on page 38-39, so thought I might post as a new thread so that I can get some answer to my concerns...
I renewed my EAD thru e-filing. Everything was ok but the address to send the Confirmation Receipt is TSC. My initial I-485 is at NSC. My address did not change anytime from the time I applied I-485.
I entered the correct info in question 11..which was:
Have you ever before applied for employment auth. form USCIS?
X Yes(if yes, continue below)
I checked yes
which USCIS office?
My answer:
LINCOLN, NE date: 08/14/2007
Should I be worried about this or can I just feel its okay?
Is this something okay?
Please let me know....Thanks.
I too had the same issue but then figured out that when I sent in my 1st EAD App I lived in CT which is serviced by Nebraska and then I moved to MA,which is serviced by Texas. When I applied for my renewal the supporting documents were being asked to mail to Texas. Did you move?

I have applied concurrently for green card under EB2 in August 2007.Received I140 approval and I485 is in process. Have applied for H1b extension and is pending. I am working for a consulting firm at present. I got job offer for a permanent position with the client that has same job duties and title. But the salary is about $20, 000 lower than what my consulting firm is paying now. My labor was applied with a higher salary. Can this lower salary and the difference create problems with the green card processing? Did anyone have any of this experience? Please help!!!

Dear friends, i would like to share my experience regarding the earlier post. My brother as i told you had surrendered his I-94 to the airline while departing for canada.
He went to the US immigration at Toronto airport and the officer asked him for his I-94 which he told that airline had taken from him. Officer told that the airline was wrong in doing so and called his superior who told that it was not a problem and they issued him with a new I-94 card with out a problem and he got back into the US.
i guess the lesson is not to panic and carry all your doccuments with you. In summary, automatic visa revalidation works but please do not surrender your old or new I-94 to the ailrine if you are planning to visit canada or mexico for < 30 days.

Hi,
I am currently on an H1-B (and also have a I140 approved) with company A. I accepted a job with company B, who started the process for my H1-B transfer by filing the LCA.
My employment with company A ends 01/31, but company B has still not received the LCA approval. If they do not receive it before 01/31, will I be out of status until they file the H1B transfer? Do I need to leave the country?:confused:

Hi,
I have approved labor (filed Apr 2004 and cleared Jan 2007) in EB2 category. But it was filed wrongly in EB2 as somehow it got cleared. But now I got RFE on I-140 and there is a verly bleak chance of getting it cleared.
In the meantime I am thinking to file a new labor by PERM (from same employer). I have few questions regarding this:
1. Can I file new labor in PERM without affecting my current labor and I-140 ?
YES
2. Do I have to mention in my new labor about my old labor and I-140 ?
I dont think so. CHeck with a lawyer
3. Can I use different experience letters in new labor as my old labor is in jeopardy because of experience letters only.
Check with lawyer
Thanks

Yes, as long is there is a 140 or 485 pending some where some place or a Labor pending for more than a year, you are eligible for h1 extension beyond 6 years.
My first 2 extensions after 6 years were based on a labor from previous company.
