Should we include an explanation of why we need the AP? When you e-file, there is no way we can fill in this information online.
... and prepared the following documents to be send:
-Copy of a e-filed I-131 receipt (.pdf, received right after submission, credit card payment reflected)
-Copy of Notice of Action for e-filed I-131 (received from USCIS, paper)
-Copy of I-485 receipt
-Copy of last Advance Parole
-2 photographs.
I hope this is what is required as supplemental docs.
Best wishes!!!

Poeple should be able to get EAD and enjoy their time.
More H4's armed with EAD will enter the job market, Guess, more Testers, Java, .net developers driving the billing rates down and too much of unexpected mess

My company lawyer did the filing for me and I just followed the same instructions to file for AP renewal for my wife. I did paper filing (trying to save a trip to the USCIS office for photo/fingerprints).
Supporting docs I sent other than I-131
1. $305 check for US Dept of Homeland Security ( write the A# on the "for" part just for safety)
2. 2 photographs ( name and A#s at the back , again for safety, in case the great people in USCIS manage to loose the photo from the application )
3. Valid photo identity ( Passport photo page )
4. I-94 for both me and wife ( I have a valid I-94 from my new H1B extension, wife's has expired, still sent it)
5. I-485 receipt
6. Cover letter ( just stating these docs are attached, and my I-485 pending, please be kind and give me AP ;) yada yada yada ... )
Hope that helps. My lawyer only wanted my passport photo page and I-94. I know people applying for any kind of immigration document tend to send more supporting documents with the belief "more is good", but I believe ( and my law firm supports) USCIS have all the documents in our files, so it's better to send only what is required and not to confuse the USCIS staff with redundant bunch of documents. Just my thoughts, please, no preaching !

This is the newslink what we discussed earlier on IEEE-USA's view on CIR:
http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/21...oreign-workers
This says "Combined with the H-1B visa increases, the Senate bill also includes "substantial increases" in legal permanent immigrant admissions that could have a major impact on the US IT workforce and engineering enterprise, according to IEEE-USA."
IEEE-USA must know the current increase of EB visas in CIR was mainly warranted due to the current backlogs in labor and due to retrogression.
IEEE-USA when issuing statement like this, should understand that making people wait 5-8 years for adjudication is simply unfair.
Let IEEE-USA vouch to reform H-1B later and work to clear the backlogs and retrogression first.

As so many members have posted there is no such thing as H1 transfer. If OP continued to work for employer# 2 without joining employer X that is fine as long as OP's employer 2 did not revoke the H1 petition. So OP should be fine , all he has to do is point that he did not accept employer X offer and decided to continue with current employer (i.e. #2) and his work with employer 2 was authorized based on the continued validity of h1 petition of employer 2. Now I saw that OP mentioned somewhere that he used EAD when his H1 with employer 2 expired. This could be a potential reason for the RFE. Here's my take on it:
When OP's H1 ultimately expired there were two possible work authorizations which OP could have used : Join the employer X on H1 since that employer did not revoke the h1 petition even though he did not join them OR used EAD with either employer 2 or employer X. The OP got this RFE for I-485. If you are doing AOS from H1 the burden is on you to prove that even while your I-485 is pending you have not engaged in unauthorized work. I just feel that the IO is doing an extensive scrutiny of the OP's application and trying to make sure that OP did not engage in unauthorized work at point.
In any case the OP should get a good lawyer.
This exactly is my point "unauthorized work" part of the game.

Matthew OH is playing with words since yesterday. I am not even sure if he knows what he is talking about. Did you guys read the stuff about 485 filing. The phrase "Untangling the tangled mess" was mentioned 3-4 times. After reading his notices, one has to wonder what the heck is he talking about.

Fingers crossed..
Well. It certainly is a good news. Atleast for me. :) I would like to caution though that getting current does not necessarily mean getting approved. We have had cases from 2003/2004 PD members where they did not get approved for long time despite their date getting current.

Not insider information but I do have access to a lot of rfe's and issues that are going on in the EB community:
USCIS revoking approved I-140's
USCIS adding up all 140's together and asking companies to prove ability to pay for all candidates together
department of labor auditing just about every eb2 labor
vermont and california service center giving very difficult rfe's to h-1b's - change of employers and extensions (they are actually denying them to)
Consulates sending complaints to department of labor when h-4 goes for visa stamping and they see primary hasn't received paystubs from entry into usa
companies closing down because fines/penalties from department of labor are too much.
random visits from department of labor and ICE to employee homes
IRS auditing per diems
It really seems that the government is making a concerted effort in giving the employers and employees a very difficult time. Started getting tough in 2004 but have really ramped it up a notch in last nine months.

Please note all H1Bs, F1s, visas....are part of 485 application.
Thank you
Oh my apologies then. I thought this was purely an H1 RFE. Crazy are the ways of USCIS. Good Luck with the RFE reply process. Keep us all posted on the happenings.

I think they have different rules(for themselves) for AP and EAD. As my AP was approved for from the date of expiry....That's ridiculous. Forget abt the 2 year EAD that you didn't get, you also lost 3 months? They probably hired some part time workers for last weekend who might have screwed up. I did some research before and am pretty sure they started issuing documents with a start after expiry of the first one a long time ago. Even on our AP's which were approved, the start date was september 2008. I got them mid -may..

I am new to the site and have been reading these posts and I have very little knowledge regarding the greencard processing. But as far as I know, law is not clear in this matter and this results in different interpretations by different people. There is also little scope for any law suit as the State Dept is the ultimate decision maker in these issues. see section 202 of INA Act
"(B) 1/ Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit the authority of the Secretary of State to determine the procedures for the processing of immigrant visa applications or the locations where such applications will be processed"
>> Good find. I havent noticed this. I will check this. This appears to be be granting immunity against law suits, if not, at least, weakens the claim of lawsuit <<
Also it is not clearly explained if EB categories take preference or country limits have preference over EB categories. The State Department can clearly argue that EB2 is entitled for 28.6% of total EB visas and per country limit does not apply as EB2 category still has unused visas left for use this quarter and they intend to maximize the use of total EB2 visas available. I think we should all stop arguing(because in the end it will not change a thing) about who should get the first chance at Green card and pray for all those friends who have been waiting for years and sincerely hope that their wait ends soon. Instead we should concentrate on how we can help each other and see about how we can improve the process
Initially my understanding was per country limits do not apply only in the final Quarter and PD trumps everything else. How ever, the snip from Nov05 VB says that AC21 modified this and unused visa numbers in any calendar Q can be assigned with out per country limits. You are exactly right. Some one in the line has to get out so that the line moves and people get ahead.

Hello,
I'm also in the same situation. My labor is approved May 2007. I'll need to apply for both 140 and 485 together. Can I do it at the same time ?? or do I need to file my 140 immediately and then 485 after a few days. Time is running out now, as we never know when USCIS would again stop accepting 485s. Please advice.
Thanks

Well, If you sign up for IV credit card, the contributor is not paying from his pocket. It's the bank, who is paying for him, and contributor will keep earning miles/reward point as with any other credit card so it should make ZERO difference for card holder.
Its like finding a advertising sponsor for any of the IV event,except this is one time effort.
the earning could be huge. lets do simple math.
Average CC monthly bill = $1000 , 2% of $1000= $20.
20 * 20k = 40K monthly contribution.
Now think how hard is it to raise 40K monthly using our regular fund raising ?
Basic problem with fund raising is, once person gets his EAD/GC , he stops visiting IV website, I am sure he/she still supports the cause by heart but it just happens that he does not visit this site and does not notice our fund raising drive ( and as a result, we call them selfish :p) .
But if he is carrying IV credit card , its very easy for him to pick up that CC and swipe every time he makes purchase and support the cause.
Hope you get an idea :).
-Naushit.
The subject line sums it up!
Once folks get past this hurdle, they will realize the need to get together and lobby for a change, and that we need to do it ASAP!
The IV credit card should be on top of your own contribution... there are no two ways about this... if you got an EAD after the July 2007 fiasco, you owe it to IV.
Now pay a portion of your newly gained benefits to IV to make sure you can gain more benefits, e.g. how about saving on your EAD renewal fees for 5 out of the next 10 years!

Basic problem with fund raising is, once person gets his EAD/GC , he stops visiting IV website, I am sure he/she still supports the cause by heart but it just happens that he does not visit this site and does not notice our fund raising drive ( and as a result, we call them selfish :p) .
But if he is carrying IV credit card , its very easy for him to pick up that CC and swipe every time he makes purchase and support the cause.
Hope you get an idea :).

The subject line sums it up!
Once folks get past this hurdle, they will realize the need to get together and lobby for a change, and that we need to do it ASAP!
The IV credit card should be on top of your own contribution... there are no two ways about this... if you got an EAD after the July 2007 fiasco, you owe it to IV.
Now pay a portion of your newly gained benefits to IV to make sure you can gain more benefits, e.g. how about saving on your EAD renewal fees for 5 out of the next 10 years!

Andy, 25+ million before they petition for their parents, grandpas, uncles, nieces, bothers and sisters, etc. Then in few years do the math and tell me whether that should be a whole lot more :-) But who cares as long as we get our GC, right ?
I agree 100% with you. If you do not get your GC approved before those 25+ million people get in the line ahead of you. Remember they will have to send those 25 million names for namecheck and the government will do theirs before everybody else's.
