Some where I read that there is no fee for renewal of AP. I am a Jul 07 filer and am not sure about this. Further already applied last for Advance parole and travelled till it got expired last month. I am applying for a new one again. So just wanted to know if I need to pay the fees $305.
So my questions are:
Does the July 07 filers need to send the cheque for $305
Should we also include Biometric fee of $80?
And how much time is it taking these days for AP/
Thanks in advance
There is a confusion regarding who pays what amount.
To avoid the filing date confusion, stick to this simple rule :
If you paid less than $400 ( I do not remeber the exact I-485 fees prior to the increase), then you need to pay for the Ap and EAD, the respective amount. If you paid more than $900 for your I-485 filing, then go file AP and EAD as much as you want.
For either case, you do not have to pay for the biometric. Biometric is only for EAD. Not for AP.
AP takes roughly 45 days.
Hope this is clear.

Beautifulmind,
I was not sure, hence I asked you to check with a good attorney. Will your work be different then described in your LC?
Did not mean to create confusion for you.
Good luck.

I and my wife are on EAD here and my wife had to go to India urgently on an Advance Parole that was expired last month. Can I apply for the AP renewal for her while she is in India, so that she can come back without any problems? Please let me know what options do I have. I am hoping that she would not be out of status or staying illegally here. Any answers would be very much appreciated. Thanks all.
Please tell me what options I have with me now.

I have valid H-1 visa to re-enter US. My visa is valid till Dec 2011. I already got that stamped when i went to india last year.
So I shouldn't run into any problems at the port of entry, even if my AP gets approved while I am out of the country, right? Thanks so much for taking time to answer.
yeah, you should have no problems. Take a copy of your I-485 papers with you too. But do not show unless they ask. You will exit and re-enter in H1 status.

My spouse was on H4 then got a job and changed to H1. Subsequently spouse lost her job and is now back on H4. I have been on H1 throughout and my six years of H1B visa expire in 2010. MY spouse I and want to get our H1 and H4 visa stamped in Mumbai consulate.
Does any one think that the changeover from H4 to H1 and then again to H4 could be a reason to be concerned about for getting the visa stamped at the consulate?
Appreciate your valauable advice.
When you wife lost her job, I assume you filed a Change of Status from H1 to H4 for her. Her status does not convert back to H4 unless you file a COS. As long as you show proof of legal stay in whatever status you were in US, and you have all supporting documents to submit during the visa interview, I dont see any issues for getting your visa. Its good to take all paystubs that your wife got while she was working on H1. I know of one case, where the visa officer asked for wife's paystubs during her H1 status though she was attending a H4 visa interview. She did not have them with her but the officer still granted her the H4 visa. But I guess she got lucky that time and its good to carry them.

It may be operated by the SSA but then how does it know that the EAD you have submitted is genuine and is valid for work? There has got to be a real time call to the USCIS systems to validate that the EAD is genuine. Now common sense would say that it should just be a read only query returning a Yes/No response, but then the USCIS has probably overengineered it just as I am probably overthinking the situation. :D

EAD 1: valid from Jan10 2005- Jan 9, 2006
on July 11, 2005 you applied for EAD 2
On July 29 , 2005 you got it approved. What will be EAD 2 's start date? 30 July , 2005 or Jan10, 2006?
If 30 July 2005, then basically you loose 6 months of time, that means you are getting EAD of 6 months duration.

I have a troublesome situation for which I need some help and potentially some legal inputs:
I am a green card holder with a priority date of april 2006.
I am planning to get married to an Indian citizen with no visa to USA (in fact, I tried to marry her before my green card got approved, but the way things turned out, I couldnt).
I now see that the priority for FB 2A is Aug/2010. If I were to marry her in Dec, can I file for her FB green card right away? How long would it take for her to the approval?
She is also working with her indian employer (software firm) to file for her H1B and/or B1. But, it is taking a long time.
Would a visitor visa or any other mechanism be possible? Could you please help me understand and fix my situation.
Can i go to India for a longer duration? How long can I move back to India without hurting my green card?
Regards,
Srinivas

I just e-filed my EAD application. Unfortunately, right after I made the payment thorugh Credit Card and it generated the PDF receipt, I noticed that my country of Citizenship/Nationality is entered as USA, instead of INDIA. Everything else on the form is correct.
Can anyone advise how to correct this error? I haven't send any supporting documentation. Should I just highlight this in my cover letter when I send the supporting documentation? Or call up USCIS Customer Service and they can correct that maybe?
Please advise guys,
Thanks

Guys,
I wanted to select an infopass appointment for my wife her case is still pending, mine was approved on sept 4th (thru CRIS mail) at the Boston office
While selecting Infopass Appointment, should I select :
* You need service on a case that has already been filed.
(This seems logical , but it asks to choose from 4 options...the one that seems appropriate is : Case services follow up appointment...but it asks to bring SR (service request no) and that it should be over 45 days from the day SR was opened. But SR was opened only last friday...can I avail this service.
Or
*You need information and other services.
(On this one 4 services are available: one of which is obtain case status....but the question is if I want to obtain case status it must have already been filed...then it should belong to the above one)
Also anyone having experience in the state of Mass...last time we had an infopass we had to go to Boston USCIS office...now it is showing Lawrence Field office for the appointment I took for my wife using the 2nd option from above.
I selected No of people as 2 so can I accompany her to the office?
Thanks,
SoP

Thanks a lot for the quick reply!
Will Advance Parole be valid until she comes back? Technically you cannot take her Green card and give it to her outside US.

Hi all
I have been trying to use the POJ method to reach an IO but looks like USCIS has shutdown that option. After entering the receipt number it simply reads out the online status message and does not provide any option to reach a CSR.
Looks like eccessive status calls have caused this.
Has anyone still been able to use the POJ method today and if yes can u pls post the details ??
