What annoys me, is that the consulate delays the visa stamping and also keeps the passport. Seems to me that they deliberately keep the passport so that the candidate doesnt travel back on the AP. I was in similar situation in March 08 at the Mumbai consulate, after waiting for around 45 days I travelled back on the AP(back then they had not taken my passport)

Are people getting soft lud on 485 recently?.
The reason why i am asking this is my 485 did not have any LUD for past 1 year and i got one today for all my 485(mine,dependents). 140 did not have any LUD only 485s. No AP,EAD renewals..
I know from previous threads it means nothing. Just wanted to check. Was trying to not post about this but at last i posted.

Me and my wife are July 2007 filers. We applied for Ead renwal.
My wife started her own business and opened a LLC.
Which means she is using her EAD. But how does the USCIS know that she is using her EAD.
My question is when she aplied for the business license , she has given her SSN everywhere but how does the agencies know that this particular person is using EAD
Pls let me know
thanks

It has become quite a hassle to obtain a California state driver's license or state identification card ("ID") when you are a non-immigrant such as in F, M, or J status (students, students in vocational schools, cultural exchange students). Recently Immigration Customs and Enforcement issued a fact sheet on applying for a driver's license or ID card for non immigrants in F, M or J status. (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/Applying%20for%20a%20Driver%27s%20License.pdf). The fact sheet is helpful as it provides basic information on how to apply for a driver's license or ID card. It is not state specific but it does list all of the websites for all of the Department of Motor Vehicle offices in the United States.
The steps in applying for a driver's license or ID card in California are listed on the California Department of Motor Vehicles website (http://www.dmv.ca.gov/dl/checklists/id.htm). You must do the following in this order:
Obtain a Social Security number
Complete a Driver License or Identification Card Application
Present an acceptable birth date/legal presence document
Pay the application fee
In order to obtain a Social Security number, you must go to a local Social Security office. You may find out more about the process on the Social Security Administration's website (http://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/). For those in F, M, and J status, you will find additional guidance by reviewing Social Security's electronic fact sheet, "Social Security numbers for non-citizens. (http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10096.html#3)"
The fact sheet issued by ICE is useful because it provides an email address to use in case the DMV does not issue the driver's license or identification card. It has been difficult in the past to get the immigration authorities to communicate with the DMV about a person's immigration status. In the fact sheet, ICE promises a one-to-two day turn around once they receive a request for information as to why a student's ID or driver's license was not issued. This is great news as students have suffered a great deal of frustration in the past waiting for the agencies to communicate with one another.

I don't think walking in with 485 receipt will work. Call USCIS 800 number and check the status of FP notice, if required open a service request. I'm a july 2 filer, did not receive notice till 10/10 - I called on 10/12 the CSR told me that my FP notice is schedule to be printed and waiting for an appointment with local ASC. In a week time, I received a FP notice, and gonna for FP end of this month. Hope this helps
Hi Saroj,
Thanks for the info. I have not got FP notice and it has been over 4 months from I-485 receipt date. Do you think ASC will entertain FP request if I just walk in with I-485 receipt?

That memo became an subject of sunday morning talk shows on Fox, CNN etc and now even USCIS has rescinded from it.
I have filed my I-485 before my marriage and I need to be on H1-B VISA to maintain my spouse's H4 Status.
Couple of weeks back there was a leaked USCIS memo mentioning "The agency could also consider extending employment authorization to the dependent spouses of certain skilled workers. For example, USCIS sould allow employment authorization for H-4 dependent spouses of H-1B principals where the principals are also applied for lawful permanent residence and have extended their non-immigrant status under the provisions of AC21"
Memo USCIS (http://www2.nationalreview.com/memo_UCIS_072910.html)
Please let me know if there are any updates.

Hi
My H1 is due for extension this year end.
Valid period of H1 remaining is 1 1/2 year since extension
I understand that H1 extension has to go through the rigorous procedure nowadays.
It needs client letter stating that project will last for 1 year.
Getting such letter is not possible.
So having I140 approved makes thing easy for H1 extension? Or same process for h1 extension is followed
Please reply
Thanks
Abbey

For most Lawyers handing H1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html)cases, the problem with the Labor Condition Application (LCA) system has become a nightmare. Some cases take almost 14 days to be resolved and the FEIN denials are completely unreasonable.
Finally, the USCIS Ombudsman release a set of recommendations to handle the recent problems.
In August and September 2009, the Ombudsman received complaints concerning H-1B cases with incorrectly denied Labor Condition Applications (LCA/ETA-9035) filed with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). LCA processing delays and errors at DOL, when coupled with USCIS� current H-1B petition initial filing requirements, are prejudicing employers and individuals who are unable to timely file original or extension H-1B visa petitions. Untimely H-1B petition filings lead to
problems, including: (1) the potential loss of employees� legal status; (2) business operation disruptions due to the loss of continuity in the employment of key employees; and (3) economic loss to employees in the form of lost wages and costs of travel overseas due to loss of status. USCIS has the authority to mitigate the impact upon these customers.
To mitigate the impact of LCA processing difficulties, the Ombudsman recommends that USCIS:
(1) Reinstate USCIS� previous practice of temporarily accepting an H-1B petition (Form I- 129) supported by proof of timely filing of an LCA application with DOL, and issue a
Request for Evidence (RFE) whereby the H-1B petitioner later provides the certified
LCA; and
(2) Establish a temporary policy under which USCIS would excuse late H-1B filings where the petitioner has documented an LCA submission to DOL that was improperly
rejected.
Given that Form I-129 instructions say a petitioner must provide evidence that an LCA has been filed with DOL, and that USCIS has previously accommodated petitioners in nearly the same circumstances, implementing these recommendations as a temporary solution is warranted. We welcome the above referenced guidance, and hope this will assist many H1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) filers that are in need of faster processing.

Looking at your profile, i am surprised u still havent received the plastic card.
If your card gets approved while you are out of the country i.e. US, and you dont have AP i had read earlier that it is considered as an abandonment. The sole purpose of AP is to provide you to get in and out of US while on AOS period.
Did u check with your company Attorney?
Hi,
Dont know if this question has been asked before, but I recently got an extension and change of employer done using AC21 to a different company. I dont have an AP and dont have the time to get one. I am travelling to India next week and am scheduling an appoitment to get an H1B stamp. Will this be an issue? Is this considered abandonment of status?
Please let me know if someone else has been in this situation.
Thanks!

Once H1B is expired; one cannot renew the H1B inspite of 485 under pending. Expired EAD can be renewed but not the H1B.

Almost a good percentage of IV members are ready to file their I-140/I-485. I was one of the fortunate ones who will be able to file I485, due to the date moving from 2001 to 2003 last month for Eb3. The moment I got this happy news that I can file I-485, I celebrated by contributing $20 to IV. And my request to all of you who are in good spirits as of today due to the dates being current for I140/485, please do the same. This will help IV to continue fighting for the removal of retrogression to the best extent. I am sure all of us agree with me, that there is a long way to go in the journey of this GC. So, please contribute.

Yes that is right. The biometrics is essentially only for I-485 and that is the only LUD that may get updated.
i did the same... selected 485 only, i asked the lady who checked ID she said that was ok...
also if you think about it the FP notice was for 485, if EAD or AP requires FP we should get separate FP notices init? :) (thats my take on it)
