Yesterday I e-filed my EAD and AP renewal for me and my wife but I think I may have messed up a little.
1) I forgot to save the confirmation receipt( pdf) from me and now I cannot get it anywhere. I did it save it for my wife. I belive I need this along with the supporting documents. How Can I request the confirmation receipt from USCIS
2) I did not find any instructions come up for the list of supporting documents that need to be sent. Should I send the supporting documents (based on what I saw on this site) anyways?
Hi,
You can email to E-Filing.Support@dhs.gov requesting the receipt notice in pdf format. I had the same situation and i emailed the above Id and got receipt notice (pdf) in 48hrs. BTW in the email give your receipt number.
Thanks,
Krishna

Just want to share the info that i got from my immigration firm news letter
Under Section 265 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), all non-U.S. citizens who change their residential address are required to notify the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) within 10 days of the change. This applies to all adults and children (of any age) who are non-U.S. citizens, including U.S. green card holders.
A person who fails to notify the USCIS of a change of address within 10 days of the change is guilty of a misdemeanor under Section 266 of the INA. The penalty for failing to notify the government of the new address within 10 days is a fine of up to $200.00 or possible imprisonment for a period not to exceed 30 days, or both. However, the government has not enforced this section of the law that rigorously to date, and many notify the USCIS of their change of address well after the 10 day reporting period without an issue, but this could change. Since we have seen an increase in USCIS enforcement activities with respect to H-1B employers and H-1B workers, and since many H-1B employers place H-1B employees at client locations around the country for short-term assignments, it is very important that H-1B employees notify the USCIS each time they move within the 10 day reporting period.
In order to report a change of address to the USCIS you may download, complete, and mail a Form AR-11 or Form AR-11SR (Special Registrants Only) to the USCIS, or you may report your change of address, electronically, by visiting the USCIS web site (www.uscis.gov), and following the procedures provided by the USCIS

It is withholding...you have to give the tax sooner or later, what is your concern ? If your company is not allowing and are stupid enough to withhold money, have them withhold more money and take it back from the Fed. next year, what is the big deal ?
I recently change employer on EAD in NJ and new employer is saying that I can't claim withholding allowance for dependents on EAD; I had no issue with my previous employer and was claiming 6 withholding allowances; I told them that my previous payroll processor was ADP and none of my friends on EAD had any issues claiming dependents; They are saying that this is new 2010 rule change and you need to have GC for it. I told them that all dependents have SSN and passes 182 days resident alien test rule..they are not agreed..Is it true? Please let me/send any links/information to prove it...

I have a B1/B2 visa that I'm thinking about coverting into F1 visa when I get into the US I just have few questions:
1- How long does it take to convert the B1/B2 visa into an F1 visa?
2- If my visa gets converted into the F1 visa, does that mean my B1/B2 visa is cancelled and I have an F1 visa or what am I?
2- Will it be possible to leave the country for few months(after the conversion of my B1/B2 visa into the F1) and then return back to the US with ease to continue my studies ?
Thank you very much for answering!!!
1. It takes 3-6 months to change STATUS from B-2 to F-1;
2. Your visa does not get "converted". Your status changes to F-1 if approved. In your passport you will still have a B-2 visa.
3. If you leave the country after changed status to F-1, you need to go for F-1 Visa stamp in order for you to comeback and continue studies. Risk of not getting F-1 stamp is high for those who changed status to F-1 while in U.S. I never left US after changing to F-1 because my attorney and my International Student advisor advised it was too risky to do so. This is because if US consulate denies issuing F-1 visa, the consulate my also cancel B-2 visa at the same time because both carry non-immigrant intent amongst other factors. You can't just leave for a "few months" and just comeback while studying on F-1. The F-1 visa and related I-20 documents specify how long the program of studies is and you should be attending every semester taking at least 12 credits each semester, with the exception of the last semester, in which you don't have to carry 12 credits as long as after the last semester your degree is granted.
Hope this helps. It is based on my own experience. Speak to an International Student Advisor at the school which you have selected for more details. Good luck.

My efiled EAD went to TSC. I sent my copy of my approved I140 and I485 as supporting documents. I got my biometric notice in a weeks time and in a month I got my EAD card. But I guess you need not send any supporting docs because you can give your I485 and I140 number in the online application itself.

There is no special provisions for people living in Haiti to get a visa to come here sooner. You will need to file the regular route. What is your immigration status? You can sponsor your mother only if you are US citizen.

This is what I think:
Report your address moving even within same comunity/zip if you have not done already ASAP.
If the address in Oregon is going to remain your permanent address then you do not need to report your stay in CA.
Hi
I was staying in Oregon.I am working in CA for the last one month.
My family still stays in Oregon and will continue there. We also moved to diff apt one month back in Oregon. ( In the same apt complex/zipcode)
I will stay here in CA for couple of months.
Can I give the present address in Oregon for all of my family members Since my family still staying there.
Do I need to give my present address for me in CA. I may be moving to diff apts here depending on project/confort.
Pls advice.

Certain felonies make a person inadmissible, which means no Green Card may be issued for such a person for either 15 years of indefinitely. You need to be more specific. Crimes of moral turpitude are inclusive. There are some limited waivers for some, but not all grounds of inadmissibility.

You must have filed 2 G28s ( 1for you and 1 for spouse) with the 485. With that logic, when you change attorney, separate G28s are needed to be filed for you and spouse.

No offense to op but this article is as valid as saying visa recapture will PROBABLY happen soon.
Infact if you replace economy with recapture and Bernanke with... well pick any name (Lou Dobbs ?) it would be just as reassuring.
Just seeing from my perspective... no offense intended to anyone.
Good day.
" Wait! Are you prepared for the consequences?" - Me.

This USCIS fisco seeps have more twists than Anna Nicole Smith case.
here you another angle to it:
http://www.immigration-law.com/
07/12/2007: Truth to Rumor of Resrictionist Senators Having Influenced USCIS Decision of July 2007 EB New Filing
There is an unconfirmed source of information that a couple of restrictionist U.S. Senators influenced the USCIS decision to reject July applications for their alleged fear that since July 2007 Visa Bulletin would open a flood gate of hundreds of thousands of 485 applications, the public might take it as the government giving out a sort of "amnesty" to these floods of people. We hope that there is no truth to such rumor. However, if it is true, it is indeed shocking that individual legislators could interfere with the government process on "personal" basis and without the formal legislative process of public notice and participation. We urge the U.S. Senate to get to the bottom of this rumor and take appropriate action for correction under the Senate rules.

Your 485 has to be reapplied and priority dates come into picture. You can change jobs but have to use H1b based on approved 140. You have to start the GC process all over again but you can retain the priority date because your 140 is already approved.

Hi All,
I have a question. I am working for a company on a H1-b visa status. And i applied for GC using a different company as future employment and i got my EAD and AP.
What is my stand here? Can i use the EAD and work a completely different company? or do i need to transfer my H1 to the company which did my GC?
Does AC21 apply here? (Because i haven't worked for the company at all who sponsored my GC)
Thanks,
Kris
Go to EAD . Work partimefor future employer and keep working partime for current employer. Once you go to EAD there is no fulltime and partime..Everything is employment
You will prove that you have worked for GC sponsor . After a few months, use AC21 and move back to current employer .

Previously worked on H-1B visa for six years. Left US when visa expired.
Then worked in Canada for 6 years.
Currently on TN-1 Visa with 13 years of IT Program Management and IT Project Management, IT Governance and IT Audit experience.
Looking for a company willing and able to apply for Labor Certification in this short duration, so I can apply for I-140 and I-485 before August 17th.
Thank you for your information and advice.
Out of curiosity: How do you expect to get your LC through PERM approved before August 17th?

Thank you for your prompt replay. It helped me a lot. Since it is my first time applying for H1 I'm really lost.
I have one more question. Do you know where I can check the deadlines for the H-1. I heard this year the H-1 would be filled by the end of june and I'm scared I didn't find an employer yet to sponsorship me.
Thank you again for your help.
