I got an RFE for I-131 for both myself and my wife. They have asked for absolutely everything (I-485 receipt, I-140 approval, I-94s, I-797s, marriage certificate, Passport copies etc). As my lawyer said "they have thrown the kitchen sink at you".
I dont even know why - but the amount of documentation they have asked for seems absurd just to issue a travel document.
BTW - my EAD from the sample application was approved!

bsbawa, really.... what were you thinking when you typed this? :)
This is just a humour but has a meaning underneath if you try to understand. I am comparing USCIS to a product selling company. If USCIS was a TV selling company what would happen to the customers the way it acts ?
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.
The credit card will be charged once, may be charged twice or a valid CC may get rejected.
Somebody who buys a TV from USCSIS a 2 years after you do, he may get it sooner than you do.
USCIS has no way of knowing how many TVs have been ordered and how many of them are in stock.
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. USCIS thinks acknowledgment of wait time is more than enough that it has done for the customers. Customers did not deserve this but USCIS did a favour to them being a good "Customer Service" company
There would be an online survey after you buy it which would never get submitted 99% of the times.
In case it did get submitted, somebody will read one out of 10,000.
After reading it he will throw it in the trash can.
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 ??? :-)

My wife will be on H1(currently on H4) october onwards...we received our EAD's yesterday. Can I still go and apply for SSN? I mean will that mean she is on EAD and H1 no longer valid?
In my case my wife was on H4. She had to activate EAD to begin working. For that reason she applied for a new SSN.
Based on my limited knowledge, if anybody activate's EAD and begins working on that EAD, they'll lose their H status. Experts need to confirm this.
This is based on my limited knowledge. For expert advice, always consult a qualified attorney

Reddog,
Smart.
It should be how many non-citizen children.
But you both missed one more applicant, the spouse.
The question should be,
Are you married and if so, how many children you have who are non-citizens. We do hope most of them should be unmarried:D.
Am I smart too..
:)
Sri.
Well the smart question would simply be a multiple choice
How many derivate/dependent applications filed along with your I-485 applications?
a) 1 (just spouse)
b) 2 (spouse + kid)
c) 3 (spouse + 2 kids)
4) I should get vasectomy
Peace. :)

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?

But I just found that there is spelling mistake in my father's first name in one sentence. But in other sentences, its correctly wriiten.

It will be better if you use your in house staff for this. No need tp pay lawyer fees. Afterall its just a form. For straight forward cases, your staff can do all the documentation and I-129 filing.
Actually %age vs salary depends on your billing multiple. The % age may work out better for employees if overtime is involved and employees get to charge overtime unless you are paying overtime to salaried employees as well.

If it’s small consulting firm with a mom-pop type attorney just be very care-full! I was in same situation in 2001 my H1B pimp promised me that my LC was filed but they were waiting to put me behind 2001 May 31 (all 245(i)) and that’s what they did....that LC is probably still somewhere in PBEC ...well I was new to the game and I ended up wasting almost 5 years on that.
Another story - my wife's consulting firm promised her that if she pays for LC they will continue her GC even if she joins the client we paid almost $7000 for LC it finally got approved probably few months back when attorney and employers stopped returning her call and e-mail. She contacted PBEC and we found that LC was approved...I'm sure they sold it someone else like us.
Anyone needs name of these two consulting firms just PM me
You must insist on photocopy and all receipts for your own record, your life depends on it!
My Lawyer does whatever my employer tells him. They never give any receipt notice or approval notice to employees.
They did not even let me file my EAD and AP along with I-485.
I can file EAD/AP myself but I'm worried they might not give me the receipt notice of my I-485 filed in july, in a last ditch effort to prevent me from fleeing(I don't yet have any intention btw) or atleast make it difficult for me.
I'm sure there would be many in this situation.
Any thoughts what can be done?

Can we do something about this.
Maybe we can go to a federal court saying it is discriminatory and get a ruling to that effect. This would stop "any" state from coming up with such legislation.
Many states have such rules. We need to deal with at a national/federal level.
We have too many items to worry about. DL should not be one of those.
In this country one cannot work without a driver's license. It is a matter of human rights. When USCIS gives us work authorization that has only 4 months remaining on it, a state ( Texas ) cannot say that I am not eligible to drive in this 4 months.
There is some disconnect here.
Isn't it something similar that happened when Gandhiji was thrown out of a train is South Africa. Gandhi was discriminated based on his color. We are being discriminated on immigration status for our right to work.

We applied for H1B transfer on Jan/02/09 (California Service Center - Premimum) and attached pay stub and employement offer letter. First time we did not attach any contract details.
We got an RFE on Jan/09/09, Basically they wanted to know whether i am working on project currently. They are asking to submit contract agreements, client details (client letter - not sure it is must or not).
There are 2 layers between client and my employer and could not get client letter. However, I can provide the following docs,
1. Contract Agreement Between Employer and First Layer
2. Contract Agreement Between First and Primary Vendor
3. Letter from Primary Vendor (stating that i am working their client project).
4. Primary Vendor Invoices to Client
5. Time Sheet (Client approval)
6. Access Card
7. Work site Photo
8. Copy of Client WO (end date is 11/21/2008) - client with PO amount and end date is doest not matter... (i am not sure how is uscis will take it).
I could not able to client letter due to their policy. What do you guys think on this case approval. Any reply is highly appriciated..
thanks

Friends I think a great injustice is being done to NSC filers , their applications are taking months for ead and ap, while TSC filers are getting ead adn AP as soon as they get receipt, do you think this will improve for NSC in future, at this time looks like august NSC filers will haveto wait till the end of the year for EAD,ap, which is sad.
Cant beleive you said that ! Just think how it feels to be waiting for receipt notices, knowing people who filed in late June are still getting them (and only a couple of July 2nd filers so far)and also knowing that if something is wrong with ur application, its going to take years before you can apply again....and compare it to the additional 2 months u r going to wait for ur EAD/AP
Thanks

I Still think we have a good chance atleast all those with priority date before today.
The economy is not improving and I doubt if it will in next 4-5 years. Even though there is slight improvent the jobless claims went up
U.S. Initial Jobless Claims Rose by 15,000 to 576,000 (Update1) - Bloomberg.com (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aMhGnVzXaSfM)
No way nurses and EB1 would count more than 5-6k per year....
Even out of the 30-40k like I said before about 50% would be from india and china (mostley Eb3) with later priority dates which puts them behind us
Eb2 Filings have drasticaally gone down because of the USCIS rule
Even after giving away all spill over visas to EB2 india and china they will have a lot of visas pending and If USCIS has made the decision that no Visa will go wasted period then we definitely have a great chance
Again my assumption is based on the FACT that USCIS has a policy that all employment Visa numebrs must be used
Lets keep it simple. In the next 4 years there will be 140k * 4 = 560K visas and I would say out of that the only ones with priority before Eb3 india and China are
Eb1 ROW +india & china
EB2 ROW
EB2 India + china (very limited new cases)
and I don't think the above categories would count more than 150k which should leave a lot of pending visas for Eb3
Which would leave a lot of Visa numbers for Eb3 India/china and ROW
Only time would tell if you are right or wrong but I like your view. Shows a ray of hope in an otherwise bleak outlook of the future.

I think we are confusing multiple issues here. Once the 6 month period is over where the I-140 is approved and the I-485 is pending for 180 days it does NOT matter if the employer revokes the I-140 or not. You are good to go! (Unless ur a classified terrorist or a criminal).
United Nations is right. Let’s say that there’s an employee with an approved I-140 + pending I-485 who switches his job using AC21 after 180 days. Now there are 2 possibilities here
1) Employer revokes I-140 (AC21 applicable here)
2) USCIS revokes I-140 (AC21 not applicable here)
Employer revokes I-140: In this case unless the employee had filed AC21 papers, I-485 is most likely to be denied as USCIS doesn’t have any record that the beneficiary still has similar or same job offer. Hence its advisable to file AC21 well in advance in such situations.
USCIS revokes I-140: At times USCIS might revoke a previously approved I-140 if the employer fails the “Ability to pay” test for all pending GC applications. This is more dangerous as the bonafide nature of the previous I-140 approval is in question now. Refer one of my old threads below on this topic.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=230209&postcount=9
Such a situation can be avoided if the employer himself withdraws the I-140’s of ex-employees so that he’s no longer burdened to prove ATP for all pending GC applications.
