Hi,
I self e-filed my EAD application and the Receipt date is 6/7/10. They called for Biometrics which is done.
I got an email saying that they have sent a RFE. Waited for 10 days, still no signs of RFE. When I called USCIS, they asked me to wait for 15 days. When I called after 15 days, they created a Service Request to re-mail the RFE. Now they say, I have to wait for 45 days. When I asked them if they will extend my deadline to reply to the RFE, she said she doesn't know.
Has anyone been in this situation ?
What kind of RFE will they send for an EAD extension.
I sent my 485 receipt and a copy of my EAD when I e-filed.
How many days do they usually give to respond to the RFE ?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks.
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.

Thank you Hermione (Granger?)
What about salary requirements? would it be okay if I get 20-30% lower
salary? Do I have to be getting paychecks every month?
Yeah, sticking up for the Muggle-born :)
Salary should not be drastically different, but -20-30% should not be a red flag. Can you construct a more complicated compensation agreement that would include defined compensation (salary) and your share in profits or equity of the company? On one hand, it may be a good idea overall (and will protect your friendship), on the other hand, it is a lot harder for USCIS to cause trouble if they can't clearly understand what your total compansation compared to old job would be.

My friends - if you have already applied for 485, you are reaping benefits of 2 year EAD which IV worked for. This inturn saving some money and giving you peace of mind. Please donate a piece of that money towards advocacy efforts and IV. This will help you get your GC faster and help many other. I did my part 100$ towards this advocacy. I asked my friends to do the same and attend if possible.

Ok I think we are reaching new heights of RIDICULOUS here. An IV member has asked a SIMPLE question about whether or not an Indian citizen needs a visa for the Bahamas.
Who the heck do we think we are to ask him/her to NOT go on that cruise and instead donate to IV?? People i know that we need to raise money and quickly, but this is really not the way to go about it. Everyone needs a vacation to recharge their batteries and spend quality time with their families. The GC is a "MEANS to the END", NOT "The END". Going by this logic, lets not do anything for the next 2-3 years. Lets not buy houses, cars, furniture etc. Lets instead contribute to IV. Besides what is to say that this person has not contributed to IV already?
Agree with eb3_nepa. Couldn't have said it better. Bullying people is usually not a very effective tool for recruitment.

<li>You could buy a TV but you will not know when you will get it. It could be shipped the next week, the next month, next year or never.
<li>The credit card may not be charged, may be charged twice or a valid CC may get rejected.
<li>Somebody who buys a TV from USCSIS a 2 years after you do, he may get it sooner than you do.
<li>USCIS has no way of knowing how many TVs have been ordered and how many of them are in stock.
<li>In case you do not receive your TV in two years, USCIS acknowledges that there is a long wait time for some and does not do anything about it.
<li>There would be an online survey after you buy it which would never get submitted 99% of the times.
<li>In case it did get submitted, somebody will read one out of 10,000.
<li>After reading it he will throw it in the trash can.
<li>If you get a defective TV (which is quite likely), you have a chance to file appeal by paying the same amount of money for the TV again so that your case can be re-opened.
I wonder how many customers would USCIS have eventually ??? Any guesses ???

Does this forum software have a buddy list / block list feature?
I have seen this on other forums and the block list might be a nice feature to help block irrelevant people / messages. :o
This may even stop some of the fights :eek:
Yes you can add friends using the 'Contacts & Friends' link under 'Networking'
and there is an ignore list under 'Settings and Options' in your Control Panel

I am GCBikari and I approve this message. You are saying you ran out of savings and in next paragraph you're talking about investments!! Anyway what I did was list out all minimum payments (rent/mortgage, car, utilities, groceries, gas). This gives the money needed every month in worst case. Then multiply by 6 months. Keep that amount in bank or a locker (now a days difficult to trust banks also!!). Then go for what others talk about like 401k, Roth IRA.. You will have a better start once you know how much you need per month to make a living on bare minimum.
My recommendation would be to build at least 6 months of emergency fund. Open an account with ING Direct or HSBC where they pay decent interest rate on a savigs account. Build the emergency fund first.
Once you have sufficient foundation, then I'd say start building investment foundation. If you employer has 4o1K plan, then start putting pre-tax dollars upto the maximum contribution at employer matches (generally it is 6%). If your employer doesn't have 401K plan, then open a ROTH IRA and start investing in low cost mutual funds or index funds. Vanguard is generally the best place to get low cost, no load funds. Once you max out both 4o1K and ROTH IRA, then start looking into opening a taxable individual investment account.
Hope this helps.
Disclaimer: I've all of the above I'm recommending and have followed the same plan I've given you.

I know there will be many people who are working on their employer's payroll but keeping maximum share of their rate.
I have my EAD and i want to switch my current company and move to a new
one as my current company is keeping around 20% share.
I am thinking of the following options:
1st option) I have my Canadian PR and thinking of an option to join the current vendor directly. Incase my 485 is rejected, then i can move to Canada.
In this case, i do not know how to run the paycheck and other related stuff to stay out of trouble for my current 485 processing.
2nd Option) I can find an employer who will just keep around 5/hr from my share and keep me on their payroll. I can also keep myself on my H1b by having my H1 transfer done. I will take care of running the payroll from a third party.
In this option i dont have to worry much as company will show me on its payroll and my H1b will be valid.
I would appreciate response from people on this forum. I know someone might be doing it right now.
Please suggest pros/cons of the above options.
I appreciate your response.

Its the courtesy of USCIS and highlighting of our problems by IV made USCIS to issue cards for 2 years... there is no requirement that it should be as such... in general any EAD unless its L* is generally issued for 1 year with exception of C09-employment category where they are issued in looking at Priority date [ofcourse there are other exceptions like asylum... etc] if they dont get biometrics from their repository at the time of printing , they waive some of the features like fingerprint, signature etc.
Thanks for the explanation, now I understand why my wife got only 1yr validity, where as I got 2yr. In reality my wife got only 11 months validity, as the from date started a month before we actually received it in the mail. It is a big pain and expense to renew every 11 months, if this is the case. Another gripe is that my validity started 2 months before the current one expired, effectively reducing the 2yr to 1yr and 10 months. It still better than 1yr, but I don't understand why they get simple things like this wrong.
It is funny that I used to wait until the last minute to renew my car registration when I first arrived in the US, thinking I would loose time, but when I learned that that is not the case, I started registering at my convenience. Since EAD renewal is not as simple, we tend to apply early, and that results in getting some time lost. How early do you normally apply?

Its law the day when it is signed by the president unless there is clause in the bill to postpone the impelmentation.
I guess it becomes law on or before 2/15, as Pres must sign these bills in to law on or before 2/15. Not sure when we can file for 485. :(

I am in a similar situation too. Getting married in August. Planning to file my I-485 in July and get my spouse here on H4 visa in the first week of September. It seems (from some comments in this forum as well as elsewhere) that the dates may not retrogress for August, but there is a very real chance they will retrogress for September.
You can "add" your spouse to the I-485 (note that technically it's not "adding", but filing an entirely new I-485 for your spouse) anytime before your GC gets approved (and after you get your I-485 filing receipt), provided the priority date is still current at the time of filing. But with the possibility of a big retrogression looming, this could be a long wait for some people.

along with all the great work being done by IV, I have to admit, the one annoying thing that we have to contend with is the wild speculative rumors that spread like wildfire... can people please stop spreading these and just wait a few hours for the announcement....
rumour on what seems to be a rumour. What IV has said is still a rumour until an official statement comes out. Pls grow up fellas, if you think its sensationalism, well aren't we having a roller coster ride for past month now..
and yet i hate to remind ppl, this is what the forum is for. If IV, Oh Law or anyothe site puts such news..its sensational already. cmon cut the crap. speculate as you wish..but speculate intelligently..

I just called and they told that my employer should write to Vermont Service Center.Yes, this is not falling in place with their processing dates. But i think, you should be getting your approval any time. May be, have your attorney contact Vermont center for inquiry. Or you can call the customer service directly.

Hey Everyone,
My brother is a US citizen who has filed an I-130 for me and my family in May, 2008. We've traveled to the US on B1/B2 visas in February, 2009. The thing about it is that in the DS-156 form point "36. Has Anyone Ever Filed an Immigrant Visa Petition on Your Behalf?" we've answered "No". I've had no idea at that time that it was referring to the petition for alien relative. Anyways, we've returned back home in time. Also, I've had 3 visas before (2 tourist and 1 student) and never violated any immigration laws.
Then in December, 2009 we've applied for F-1 visa and got denied. This time it was a DS-160 form that we filled out which replaced the old DS-156 form. It didn't have that question about the petition anymore. I think they've decided to exclude it because a lot of people were confused by it. Anyways, the consulate officer didn't like the fact that I haven't transferred my credits from 2 courses of University that I've completed in my home country. Plus my major differed from my previous education course.
So my question is. Is it ok to apply for F-1 visa while I-130 is pending? I mean we've been issued B1/B2 visas before. Even though we've answered "No" to that question, they saw that I had a brother in the US who is a US citizen. I'm thinking of transferring my credits and using same major course this time or at least similar. This way in the eyes of the consulate officer it will look as I am going to the US to finish my education. The thing is, I am planning to attend community college first in order to finish general courses and then transfer to the university. My major in my home university was physics and this community college doesn't have it. I may go with "general education" course at the community college and explain to the consulate officer my situation.
Is it even legal to apply for F-1 visa while I-130 is pending? I believe so. My another question is. Once I finish education. What's the next step would be? Will it be easy to transfer from F-1 to H1B visa while I-130 is pending? What about my wife and a baby who will be on F-2 status? Please share your thoughts. Thank you!
For F-1 visa, you need to show non-immigration intent; i.e., you do not plan to immigrate to U.S. In your case, the combination that I-130 is pending, you want to apply to a university that does not have your major, etc., sends a very bright red flag.
