- 485/765/131 submitted in Aug. Receipts are in with Oct 1 as the date. Why would they mark a date in October on the notice even though they physically received the applications on Aug 15th?
- Should I be receiving an EAD 90 days from Aug 15th or Oct 1?
Contact USCIS and let them know that the application was delivered on Aug 15th.Open a service request.
- My H1 will expire by the end of the year. Should I be concerned? Do I have to do anything if I receive the EAD before it expires? Assume a case where I get my EAD approved and for some reason, my wife who is on H1, fails to get her EAD before the end of this year. Do I have to file for her extension, or take some other action?
H1B expiring shouldn't be of concern.Once your H1b expires you are in Adjustment of Status.Inform your employer to change the employer verification details in I9. Ask him use the EAD instead of H1B.
As far as your wife is concerned it still doesnt matter whether she gets her EAD or not before her H1 expires.But she cannot continue to work once her
H1B expires until she receives the EAD .If I were you I would extend both the H1b and stay on h1b until possible.
- When can a person safely switch his/her employer? 180 days after filing the application or after receiving I485 approval?
180 days after filing for 1485 provided your I140 was approved.
- Can a spouse work on the basis of the receipt notice from USCIS, or does she need to have the EAD approval?
NO.She needs EAD card. Approval notice cannot be used to work.Thats illegal.
- How long (currently) would it take to receive the Green Card in hand? Are there enough numbers available with USCIS to allot GCs to almost everyone who qualifies?
Once approved anywhere from 7-30 days you might get the GC by mail.
I dont know whether there are enough numbers.I won't even speculate.
- Would I get the fingerprinting notice directly or would my employer receive it?
You would get a copy of the FP notice.
- What other formalities would be left after (assuming) 485/765 are approved?
765 is EAD.Its a interim benefit while your 485 is in process.485 is for adjustment of status.Once 485 is approved you get the GC. There are no formalities.Have fun and njoy
- Does anyone know of a good site that shows a workflow of all these stages in a Green Card process?
check out this 485 SOP (http://www.immigration.com/newsletter1/uscissopprocd.pdf)and there are more if you can google it.
Goodluck

soft LUD on a case 1 no. ahead of you or 1 no. behind you = very soft LUD on your case. Isn't everybody is smart enough to calculate the formula for very-raised-to-the-power-of-n soft LUD now.
Very Very Soft LUD = when 1 case before you and 1 after you.. is touched (Soft LUD) not necessarily consecutive cases :D

There's thousands of threads that talk about porting. I don't think there's any need to re-iterate those topics again.
Specially from the crappy source you had provided.
One word worth millions, so you are more than welcome to say what ever you want to!
But, when we say something is wrong we should know what is right in the first place, we are more than happy to accept the truth, if you can share with us.
Like it or not reality is tough to digest almost all the time. Let's hope our brothers and sisters will not fall prey to the evil employer(s):(

1) The per country limit for countries is 7% and for dependency is 2% . The FAM manual lists dependencies. Greenland is listed as a dependency. Greenland became an integral part of the Kingdom of Denmark in 1953.

Basically, the VB just says that "Even though you waited for however number of years, gone through all the pains with employers, you are NO closer to getting GC than you were a month ago"
How pathetic is our situation? Every time I think of it as the bottom,there is a new low next month? It's just a never ending tale.

120 days (maximum) from the date of expiry of your EAD. The same applies for AP, if I am not wrong.

I got a response for the SR made through Infopass saying that there is lot of work load in NSC so there have extended the processing of my I-485. IN the SR we have asked about the incorrect EB classification and wanted to know the current EB category. This shows that SR responses are most of the times useless. I made a infopass appointment (3rd visit in 1 week) and was indeed able to find that USCIS screwed up my EB classification. Now I am trying all avenues to get this corrected. Because of USCIS's mistake I Lost multiple approval opportunities in last 2 years went dates became current for EB2.
My I-140 clearly shows that it's approved in Eb2 adv Degrees or Exceptional ability category. My lawyer and Employer both have agreed that USCIS has made mistake. in Infopass they created an SR last week with regards to this and there is no response.

This is also what I have understood on doing some research; there also was a similar thread here "H1 Status After Using EAD" where people seem to say the same.
That is, once you start using EAD you loose your H1 status. If you want to get back on H1 (before the decision on 485) then your company has to extend your H1 in which case you will have to give up your part time job.
Things get bad if your 485 is denied while you are on EAD then your company may be able to extend your H1, but you will have to go out of country and return once the H1 extension is approved.
There was a thread on IP some time ago on this.
One of the rules of H1 is you should be working fulltime ( if your LCA says so) so you still need to fulfill those requirements. While as far as EAD is concerned you can use AC21 only if you have worked for the employer with whom you filed your GC for atleast 180 days right? So how would you be on H1 and work for one employer and then also work on EAD for another employer at same time?
The interpretation is probably only for the status validity as far as i can think.. You can be in both the statuses at any given time but use only one status for your work. Also i read in one of the bulletins/posts that at the POE the IO will always look to see if your underlying H1 has valid period and if you have a stamp and then use that one over the AP to allow you in to the country.
Please check with proper source before you embark on this path to avoid any future problems

about so much uproar and fighting about not letting illegal immigrants have healthcare.
Dems even explicitly stated in the bill that no illegals will be eligible for the benefit.
They must be laughing inside because after the CIR, there will be not many illegals left.
Anyway just an observation.
Immigration Reform will follow 'Health Care' Bill. But the real hurdle for 'Health Care reform' is inclusion of Illegal Immigrants in the bill. No one can dare say that loud that they want to 'include' illegal immigrants because that will hurt any chances of passing the Health Care bill.
So, if they start the CIR discussions out in the public, the 'illegal immigrants' turning into 'legal' and hence eligible for 'health care' issue will be the highlight of ALL NEWS channels. That will do damage to health care. I'm sure unless & until health care reform is through, they can't get any details of CIR out to public.( I'm sure CIR includes Amnesty at the least )
That said, 'Donkeys' are bound to loose in next year mid-term if Obama does not live up to their pre-poll promises. Remember, Hispanics & other minorities are the edge for 'Donkeys' while some independents can weigh in either ways.
So, bottom line is CIR will pass after health care. But, I'll not bet too much on provisions for 'legal immigrants'. Since we are the only dog bone that 'Donkeys' have got to gain any required support for CIR. We need to work hard to get our provisions on the first draft and do everything possible to be included in the final version of the bill.
My ramblings anyways....
