I don't remember the amount of fees submitted while filing I 485. However the filing was done after the July fiasco (Aug 2007). so whatever rates were applicable after Jul 2007 that must have been the fees that has been sent.
So in that scenario, is it just okay to send the AP application with out Fees?
How are you July Filers applying for AP? Are you sending in the check for the AP fees too?

Apply H4 with lawyer or by ourselves? My lawyer took care of my H1B, green card cases. Do I need to apply H4 for my wife through my lawyer? What is the advantage of using lawyer with H4 application. Can I apply it by myself? Is there any H4 application checklist around? Thank you.

I'm curious if anyone has got multiple RFEs on their I-485 application. I had an EVL RFE last year and wonder about the chances they'll give that (or any other) RFEs again in future.
Any personal experiences?
By multiple RFE I don't mean many questions in 1 RFE letter. I mean USCIS sends you 1 RFE, receives reply and resumes the case and then at a later point in time sends another RFE on the same application.

Dear IV Members,
Plans for Next Call
As I draft this post, we are working on the specifics of organizing the next call. We intend to have the call next friday, 20 Oct 2006, and are awaiting confirmation. Please watch out for more information on the forums in the next couple of days.
Range of questions for the upcoming call
At this time, the list of questions has been frozen for the next call. The range of accepted questions is between 71 and 100. This post is being communicated so that members can plan to be present for any follow-up questions they may request the attorney in real-time
Questions not accepted by the attorney
Questions with the following IDs were not accepted by the attorney for the upcoming call: 87, 91, 95, 99
Why was my question not taken up?
The following is a list of probable reasons why certain questions may not have been accepted. This list, is of course, not exhaustive.
- too complicated for a call requiring further discussion or research
- lack of clarity in the law on specific situations
- incomplete
- too generic
- frivioulous
- no previous incidence that the attorney can draw upon without significant research(new situation)
Sending us your questions
We also request members to not send emails from corporate email accounts. It is IV's policy to refrain as much as possible from sending email to members that may constitute as spam.
While we do not want to spam you, there might be exceptional situations wherein we may need to alert you of last-minute changes, and corporate email accounts might consider such alerts(if at all, any) as spam and may hence be filtered.
Keep 'em coming
Lastly, do not let a rejected question deter you from sending in new questions. We encourage you to keep sending in your questions so that we can leverage the attorney's pro bono service.
Enhancing and streamlining the conf. call process
We realize that certain questions may be time-sensitive, and may no longer be relevant when we finalize on a conference call date. Please bear with us as we streamline the process and make our response times better.
Thank you

Hello all,
If my GC is approved, is my employer bound by obligation he gave to USCIS when he filed I140 petition?
I mean, in I140 employer explicitly stated my future wage, it is 20% higher then wage I am getting from him while I am on H1B.
Say, my GC is approved and employer refuses to raise my wage to match the amount given in I140. Is there any way to make him stick to this obligation? Like, complaining to DOL, or where else? And if I complain, can it affect validity of my GC?
The problem is after GC I have to stay with this employer for another 6 months to avoid possible complications in future applying for citizenship. If I just quit and take another job - that will make a possible problem in the future; but if he lays me off, then I am fine. But he does not want to lay me off, and does not want to keep his promise. Any ideas?
If he lets you go you have no issues with future naturalization in case you have all your records, termination letter etc. I am unsure about the wages mentioned in your LCA. I think it is mandatory and can be challenged since employer is giving an undertaking that they have the ability to pay the amount mentioned in your LCA/I140.
You need to get good advise if they terminate you immediately after you get your GC will it show some malafide intentions/agreement between you and your employer which was there in place just to secure you a GC.
- cheers

hello folks..
I was on H1.. but i quit my job and i am currently enrolled as a Full time student.
I need to go to Mexico as part of my Study program....
I have received the change of status from USCIS..but i need to get my passport stamped..
I have not been successful in getting an appointment in Canada....
>>is there a wait time in any canadian consulates...for more than 2-3 days????
>> Can i go to mexico and get the visa stamped during my stay there..is it risky???
inputs Pleaseeeee..
i am not sure you can get an F1 stamp in either Mexico or Canada. You can only get an F1 stamp in these countries if you already have an F1 stamp, but it expired and you did not hold any other non-immigrant status in the interim.
Third Country Nationals - U.S. Consulate General Ciudad Juarez, Mexico (http://ciudadjuarez.usconsulate.gov/nivtcns.html)
refer to the section under "Who Cannot Apply in Mexico ".

Hi! I hope this is the right place to post this. If not, can you please tell me where it should be posted?
We are caught in a terrible comedy of errors, but unfortunately it is not funny all.
My husband is from Turkey, and was/is here on an F-1 visa. To make a long story short, we filed our I-485 & I-130 applications shortly after we were married. Months after this, deportation proceedings were (wrongfully) initiated against my husband.
While we were waiting for our court date to have the deportation proceedings terminated, USCIS at the NBC denied my husband's I-485 for the sole reason that there were deportation proceedings against him.
The deportation proceedings were terminated with a note on the paperwork from the judge that the charges were wrongfully initiated. The judge asked the Federal attorney to ask CIS to help us in NY, but NY office advised they can't do anything since this decision was made in Missouri.
At this point, my husband has not been able to work (work document denied also, of course), the government has cost us $1,000s of $$ in attorneys, and we do not have money to pay them their almost $1,000 to start the I-485 process over again. We need our original case reopened and approved.
Oh, and before deportation proceedings were terminated, but after the I-485 was denied, we passed a Stokes Interview which was requested through my I-130 due to the deportation proceedings. My I-130 has been approved.
We have filed an I-230-B for appeal, but without the fee. So we have no receipt letter nor case #. We have been told by our lawyer that we need to get the help our our U.S. Representative, Anthony Wiener. However, a friend of mine, who helps immigrants in another state, told me we need to work through our senator, Chuck Schumer's office.
Is there any advice on working through a representative's or a senator's office to re-open/ investigate a case.... which is more effective, faster, etc?
Is there anything else we can do on our own or have our attorney do?
Right now, I'm fed up with our lawyer, and do not feel we are getting enough information from him, or perhaps he is not qualified to answer my questions; so I am seeking other advice.
Any advice is welcome.
Thank you!!
Smile and have a wonderful day!

you can check with a lawyer to be sure ,
but what i think is -->
since u have a new born Kid in india which u wish to bring to the US, i think that would be only possible at this point if you sponsor a H4 for him. And for you to sponsor h4 for him means you will need to continue to be on H1 visa.
Your decision to continue to use H1, will not affect your Ead/AP. But once again, until you apply 485 for your kid , it will need H4 status to remain in the US, hence forcing u to stay on H1.

It would be of great help if any one on this forum or their aquaintaince could assist my aged parents travelling from Hyderabad,India to Atlanta,GA by British Airways on 10-27-09.
I know this might not be the right question on this forum, but apologies for any inconvenience caused to anybody.
Thanks in advance
You can check with the airlines and ask for wheelchair for you aged parents ... usually I have seen with Lufthansa - they provide a very good service when you ask for special assistance. Not sure what BA will do though ... you can always try ....
