I e-filed my EAD renewal yesterday and got the reciept copy.
Now what are the documents i should send USCIS? Do you guys have the list of documents to be mailed for EAD renewal?
We have couple of threads covering it.
1. Copy of I485
2. Copy of both side of EAD (and for faster processing, upper part of mailer, in which EAD came)
3. Copy of Passport Photo page and last Visa Page (Serves as federal id)
4. Copy of DL (other id)
5. EAD filing receipt copy
In one or two business days, you may be able to see on line status and LUDs. Soon you should be receiving paper receipt followed by FP notice.

Hi,
It appears TSC (Texas Service Center) started using new system CHAMPS, which is not connected to the online case status system.
Any one saw either SOFT / HARD LUDs on their cases pending in TSC in last two / three months?
Thanks

Whether the IO at Port of Entry asked anything about your H1B Visa Stamp?
My H1B visa stamping application finally got approved after 2 months at the Mumbai consulate. But I travelled back on the AP a month back as my employer started getting impatient.
I have received an email from them asking to submit the passport for stamping as the administrative processing on the application is completed.
I am planning to write back to them that I no longer need a visa stamp for travel as I travelled back on the AP. Would this be a bad idea ?
Has anyone withdrawn their H1B visa stamping application before ?
Appreciate any information on this.

I don't think so.. Back in 2002 I was in similar situation (f1 to h1) and to best of my knowledge I was only able to get part of my federal taxes back.. In fact I remember paying some additional state taxes at the end of the year.
If I was on F1 full time for that accounting year then they would have given my taxes (not ssn or medicare) back but I switched to H1 and made more money, which pushed me into a different tax bracket.
Hi Guys,
I would like to know if we are eligible to claim our withheld medicare and soc.sec taxes for the year 2008. I was working initially while on F1visa and changed to H1B halfway through the year 2008.
Will appreciate if u could help.
Thank you in advance.

Hello All,
Had a qstn. Is it good enough to take just the offer letter from the current co and latest paystub to the consulate in Chennai to stamp H1B ? Its for a friend of mine and he is a first time H1B applicant. Problem is if he puts in a req to the HR for exp letter they will ask him a reason and the reason will be printed on top of the letter, and obviously he cant ask for a letter to US consulate for H1B since they will come to know he has intentions to leave.
I am sure a lot of people would have been in similar situation. Did not find any other thread that discussed this issue, so in case there is one please point it out to me otherwise any suggestions would eb welcome.
Thanks,

Lately, USCIS has started looking into H1B transfers more carefully and giving applicants tough time approving it with all kinds of RFE, read through the forum for others experience, keep that in mind before making your move...I am not trying to scare you though, its just a pointer to whats going on currently.

We must think about what we do after CIR fails.
US congress has performed bigger miracles before: Abolition of Slavery, voting rights for women, civil rights.
Who knows what'll happen. All we can do is to give it our best shot.

Without reentry permit, they cannot enter USA.
If you need reentry permit and if you are outside US, then you can kiss your gc goodbye. You must be in US to apply for reentry permit, otherwise it will be denied...Even the appeal will be denied...Then need to check with local US consulate...
If this is the case, can they take the route of "Follow to join" what are the other options for folks in india?

Hi, I have another question regarding I-94. My last I-94 is from H1B approval, the previous I-94 was from airport (and expired as well, issued : 2006).
Today, I got answer from my attorney office that I will need to surrender my previous I94 (from airport not from H1B approval).
I found this confusing, here are the questions :
1. what happened if I surrender airport I-94 ? will USCIS assume I am out ouf status for a couple of years ?
2. which one that I need to surrender ? is it from airport or H1B approval ?
Please advice ... I am really confuse with this immigration things ..
Regards,
You need to always hand over your I94; whether it is expired or not. When you re-enter into this country you will be issued I94 based on either your h1b or AP or what ever visa you might have that is effective at the time ...

Hi everybody!
I applied to renew my travel permit on May 20th 2009, I just got the following email from immigration:
Receipt Number: XXXXXXXXXX
Application Type: I131 , APPLICATION FOR USCIS TRAVEL DOCUMENT
Current Status: REQUEST FOR INITIAL EVIDENCE SENT, CASE PLACED ON HOLD
On May 20, 2009, we mailed a notice requesting initial evidence in this case. Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the evidence requested. Meanwhile, processing of this case is on hold until we either receive the evidence or the opportunity to submit it expires. Once you submit the evidence requested and a decision is made, you will be notified by mail. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your mailing address.
I applied ONLINE this time.
My last year parole expired on May 3rd 2009.
What type of evidence can they ask for a travel permit?
Someone on the same boat?
I also got an email about my I-140 five days before saying:
Receipt Number: XXXXXXXXX
Application Type: I140 , IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER
Current Status: Document mailed to applicant.
On May 15, 2009 we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service.
I haven't received any of the letters!

No bill was introduced in Senate. Where is the question of voting? If anti immigrants some how make waste these 2 weeks of time in Senate then there will not be enough time to discuss. Now 60% chance. If no bill is introduced in Senate before end of may it will come down to 40%.

I have a valid H1 till 2012. As my company was going lean during the recession they asked me to work in India (no office in India - was working at home) for 1 year. Now they want me back in US. I am planning to get back in Feb 2010. I was not on payroll for 2009. My company transferred an amount every month to my indian bank account. My questions -
1. At the Point of Entry (POE) will they ask me why i was out of US for 1 year? - what should i tell them - will "health reasons" work?
3. Will they ask for payroll or W2 for 2009?
2. Will they ask me any sort of documents - other than I797?
Heard that POE's at Washington, Chicago are pretty strict - can someone please suggest a POE that i should choose.
Thanks in advance.

To Whom It May Concern:
My H1B expires in July 2010 so I would have to start the PERM process now. In this current economic downturn it seems that it will be extremely difficult to get PERM certified. I also have a Permanent Residence to Canada. My current US employer would be willing to let me go to Canada for 1 year (and work for him remotely) so my H1B clock resets and then reapply for a fresh 6 years of H1B after I came back.
What would be your advice: go to Canada and wait 1 year and then come back on H1B and apply for GC once things get better or risk it now and start PERM in this time? Please note that I live in New York City so it is even harder to get PERM as there are so many people here. I would like to apply in EB2 category.
Please advise.
Thank you so much for your time!

Hi,
My wife's EAD card returned back and message showing , card returned by Postal, undeliverable and need response by 180 days with update the address, yesterday's message.
Actually she got her FP and EAD notice receipt number to the same address, but card returned back.
But in this case I saw 20days back, card production ordered and sent the notice. And I am waiting for the card to be delivered and 30days to wait to ask customer service.
Request:
Can you please let me know , how to reach customer service representative with options type?.
This happens from time to time dont know why but it happens.It happened for my wife too , we had efiled for EAD and her application status showed that notice(FP) returned as undeliverable. My wife wrote back to USCIS
saying that she had received all her prior communication from USCIS here
(for example we put in copies of 485 recipt notice,485 FP notice,EAD recipt notice) and it seems to a mistake of USPS. She also wrote to the Local Postmaster as to why the notice from USCIS was returned and in future all this should not reoccur. Within a day or two we got her EAD approved and recieved it in mail.
The point I am trying to make is that calling(it might not be the best option as lines are busy,reps dont have the info you would like etc) as well as writing does help when u know the where to send mail , we were lucky as we had efiled so it does specify where to send the application and docs .Good Luck.
