My I485 is pending, recently I have changed my address online. I also recieved confirmation letters for this address change.
After 2 weeks of address change, USCIS issued an RFE. I have not yet received it, but I just want to prepare for this.
What could be the reason for this RFE? Is it common?

The elimination of NC delays will reflect positively on many pending applications with earlier PDs.
One other such positive result can come by capturing lost Visa numbers, something that can potentially happen through the letter campaign. Let us hope it goes as planned.
Good point, new folks please note, one of the main reliefs IV is campaigning for with the letter effort is the release of the unused visa numbers. When you have time, please gather a few more letters signed by friends and colleagues. We need to push for this campaign to truly have an effect. Now is our chance!! :) Thanks!

Useful info from Murthy.com
If anyone faces similar situation they should try to withdraw to avoid 5 year ban
The Murthy Law Firm has received several reports and learned of instances in which H1B employees were sent back home to India after the Christmas / New Year holiday from various airports, particularly Newark, NJ, and JFK in New York, NY. We at the Murthy Law Firm will be contacting both AILA national and the CBP office in Newark and New York. Our effort is to gain clarification and determine the basis for sending H1B employees back to India (or other home countries), and, if this is due to an error of judgment or law, we will seek a reversal of this recent, alarming trend. In addition, a related January 8, 2010 memorandum from the USCIS analyzes the definition of "employer" and "employee" particularly for H1B employees working at third-party client sites. While these two actions may not be related, both demonstrate the current level of government scrutiny of the H1B program. Hence, each employer and employee should operate by strictly following the H1B program requirements.
�MurthyDotCom
We will need to review the events and the USCIS's evolving definitions of relevant laws to determine short, intermediate, as well as long-term lawful solutions to deal with this issue. If an H1B employee accepts expedited removal / deportation (with the government paying the cost of the airline ticket) from the CBP officer, removal may result in a minimum 5-year bar on reentering the United States. If an H1B employee indicates to the CBP officer at the airport that s/he is requesting a withdrawal to enter the United States (and return home on the next flight at one's own expense), s/he is able to apply for a new H1B visa stamp either with the same or a new H1B employer and reenter the U.S. within a few days / weeks.
�MurthyDotCom
We at the Murthy Law Firm will continue to share useful information that we believe will help you to plan your travel or when you change H1B employers.

better ask a lawyer if its okay to take 2nd job on EAD but file for AC21 after Feb 08.
good luck
Gurus,
Here is my situation:
I-140 approved - PD: May '06
I-485 filed - July 30 '07 (India)
EAD cards - Received
APs - Received
Due to a slowdown in their business, my employer is laying me off in Dec '07. I'm still short of 1 month to complete my 180 days of I-485 filling. However, they said they will not withdraw my I-140 and, to help me, will in fact keep me on their payroll until Jan '08, with my Jan '08 salary as my severance and my official status as on "paid leave". So far, so good.
I also have a job offer, and my new employer wants me to join them in Dec '07, on EAD. My question is: Can I be on officially on the payroll of two companies simultaneously on H-1B and/or EAD? If yes, do I need to inform the USCIS of my status (new employer; AC21)? My other option is to say No to the new (attractive) job offer (or to try to convince them to wait until Feb '08, which they'll likely not agree to), and and take up another job in Feb '08, on EAD / H-1B transfer, using AC21. Please advise whether I'm fine with using the first option!!
good luck

Both me and my wife are working on EAD.
Our AOS is pending since the July 2007 surge.
My company lawyer recently renewed my H1 (to have it as a backup) and also suggested that we renew my wife's H4.
I received my H1 approval and wife received her H4 approval.
I also visited India and re-entered USA on a new H1 stamp.
My lawyer himself is worried now whether he got my wife into H4 status since her approval in May and that since she continued working, he is worried that she technically "worked while on H4" which is not allowed, based on the last action rule.
Can you advise if we have created any issue by renewing her h4?
Also what is the remedy for this.
According to me this should be of NO issues, since a person is allowed to maintain his/her H status while AOS is pending, as per the dual intent doctrine. Also I think the last action rule is applicable within a specific category. For example when a person applies for h1/h4 at almost the same time, both are non-immigrant categories, then if USCIS approves h1 first and h4 later, then the last action rule would get applied and technically person would become h4. BUT this should not affect the AOS application since its a totally different category, thats a immigrant category.
Please advise if we did anything wrong by renewing her H4 and any solution to fix this.

Right now my parents in India are trying to seek help from local authority so as to say the ADM office - to get the certificate. I dont know how much this will work.........I will keep everyone posted.
Did you register the marriage in the first place (I am not sure if it is a requirement in India, although most people do register their marriage)? If you did, then you or your (or your wife's) parents should have a marriage certificate that you got at the time of your marriage.
Anyway, all you can do is to take the commonsense route:
(i) Try to get the marriage certificate. It should be easier to get marriage certificate than Birth certificate since it is a more recent event. Moreover, as far as I know marriage records are public records; anyone (and thus your parents) can get a copy of the record from the local municipality. It is probably the clerks who is asserting their *importance* at the crunch time by not giving you the certificate what they can find in 5-10 mins.
(ii) If you cannot get the certificate within the deadline, send whatever evidence you have; wedding photos/videos/invitations, affidavits from your and your wife's parents, etc.; and ask for additional time for getting the actual certificate. This ought to buy you a month or so.
A digressionary question: if you do not mind, could you kindly briefly state your qualifications (publications, citations, patents, grants, TPCs, etc.) and the list of evidence (e.g., how many letters and from whom) you supplied for your EB-1 application (I-140) [I am assuming that it is EB1-OR]? I will also be in that boat shortly...

Looks like it is the photos. I got the RFE after opening a Service Request and they have asked for photos. Morons. They could have made it clear in the instructions to send photos.
It doesn't happen to everyone. A couple of my friends got the ead without sending the photos. It all depends on who processes your application. If he is an ass, you are in trouble.
So, better send the pictures if you are planning to e-file.
I have sent the photos and now have to wait for another 45 days. Hopefully a smart guy who knows what he is doing will process it this time.
GCplease,
Have you received your EAD? if so how many days it took after responding to RFE?
Thanks

DL is issued in CO upto the validity of your I-94, which is fine.
So, for each H1 renewal or extension, you have to queue up in DL office. Also, for dependents visa holders (H4), before you go to DL office, you have to go to SS office, get a letter from them that a SSN cannot be and will not be issued. Such a hassle.
In FL, it is being extended to only 1-94 date.

I insist, again, lets talk abt soc. sec treaty. With thousands of us having together millions in that account, the US gov. will have to do something. Remember-its our money- the US govt. cannot deny it if asked by The Indian govt. IF they wanna keep it, better give us our GCs!
