Hmm...let me guess. Well, I had same issues with my current lawyer who is a official corporate attorney for immigration matters with my employer. Good part is, I didn't have to pay money to him but bad part is he is mostly not-responsive, arrogant, treated us like slaves, rude and what not. He doesn't answer anything about AC21 and we have to go thru' HR if we have any questions. Many a times, employees are completely unaware what is going on with their immigration papers. I did not receive my LC or copy of I-140. Guess this differs from person to person and company to company.
well, now since I have decided to enjoy freedom using AC21, I would like a good lawyer to represent my case; whom I should be able to ask questions.

It is known that many employers and their attorneys do not provide their employees with the 485 receipt number. To avoid unnecessary trauma and strain on the employer-employee relationship, we should request USCIS to send a copy to the applicant whether 485 was filed with or without G28.
There are some places, where employee is kept out of the loop and is being exploited. USCIS is the only body which can help in this. It should send copies of all the transactions it makes with either attorney or the employer. that way the employer/ attorney doesn't get a chance to exploit the employee.

U.S. Mail:
USCIS Texas Service Center

P.O. Box 852401
Mesquite, TX 75185-2401
Thanks. I did not e-file my application. I had sent my package to the same address as yours (except for the Attn E-file line) via USPS.
Should I call USCIS to clarify things up or will they forward it to the Vermont center if it really needed to be mailed to vermont?

So after more than a month of sleepless nights, thanks to Immigration Voice looks like my I 485 application is back on track.
A recap of my situation:
Last month I got an email from USCIS-CRIS stating that my I 485 was withdrawn. After being in this country for close to 10 years and in the immigration queue for more than 7 years why would I withdraw the application ??? I did not withdraw my application !!!
It took me more than a month to find out the reason behind the withdrawal..trust me it was not easy..and guess what ....It was my Attorney who had withdrawn the application in Error. Now what ... I call USCIS multiple times.. talk to many different IO's .. some of them patient and try to help.. some extremely rude.. but all of them had only one thing to say... they cannot help!!..... I get an Info Pass... no help there either.. I set up an emergency meeting with my attorney (one of the large Immigration Law Firms) .. nothing...they accept their mistake tell me that they will do all they can .. but no assurance that they will reinstate the case .. limited forward movement.... things look gloomy and bleak..no one can help me.
Then I called Immigration Voice on the number that is listed on the site and left a voice mail. Promptly got a call back I spoke to a Core member who understood the gravity and urgency of the situation and swiflty moved forward and got in touch with their contacts in the government. The Core member also put me in a conference call with the person who was going to look into my case, I was so relieved that I could explain the situation first hand.
I got a call today and I was told that after evaluating my case my file has been reopened and they have mailed an offical notice regarding the same and I should get it in a few days. *Fingers crossed until I get this notice in hand *
The IV core was extremely sensitive to my situation and were very responsive and extremly helpful. I cant thank Immigration Voice enough for helping me resolve this issue in a quick manner.
I have registered to be a recurring contributing member and I intend to be an active member of this group.
My lessons from this crazy experience are:
- Never trust your attorney, always ask for a copy of any letter/document they send to USCIS on your behalf
- There is no organization besides IV out there that is looking out for the interests of the Immigrant Community.
- We need to strengthen IV in all ways we can, we need to be active.
- And as so many members have already said "We are IV." If we want things to be better "WE" need to do something about it.
I urge members who are still contemplating becoming active members to evaluate their options and to become active and contributing members of IV.
- Peace
ps:
Another point I would like to add is that no other organization has the kind of reach and the credibility with USCIS as IV has as far as representing the true interests of the Immigrant Community goes. IV is a huge asset we have and we should work towards strenthening it.

You usually get a SS statement in mail after you have filed your taxes. If you don't, then there is a way to request the statement from www.ssa.gov.

All of of this, writing to the president, congressman/congresswoman are fine, but PLEASE, PLEASE make sure, that the following are adhered to:
(1) Address the President as "Honorable Mr. President", and not "Hello Mr. Obama"
(2) Please please please apply spell check and make sure that your letter/email/fax is grammatically correct. All of us claim to be "best and brightest" and "highly educated", but having seen the composition skills and grammar usage of a lot of us here, on IV, I would higly recommend having another person, who is more competent in the PROPER use of English language, take a look at whatever you write.
(3) It would make sense to send letters (several thousands of them, if possible), to the President, on the same day. Even if a handful of these letters make it to his desk, each with same/similar content, but from different people, he just might notice it enough.

just a guess, they must be pre-adjudicating - pending a visa number. So, looks like (again a guess), if they pre-adjudicate before the FP expiry date, then you are good, otherwise, they will ask you to go to FP again...

Can H1 be extended on basis that I-485 filled and pending for more then 1 year?
GCCovet
Theoretically yes; because for a 485 to be pending for more then one year; then the labor has to be older then one year and/or the 140 is older then one year.
I think the situation that you may be talking about is where 140 has been revoked but 485 has been pending for more then one year. The law only talks about 140 and labor older then one year. If one tried to do it this way and uscis should question you then there is no legal basis of doing it.
That being said; I do know of a case where a person did get an extension even though the 140 had been revoked. Had to be a fluke and I wouldn't say that it is the norm; because there is no legal basis for it.

I think you make some very good point about funding. I see some people complaining how a lot of members aren't contributing. I think it is plain naive to expect everyone to contribute.
People can be divided into three types:
1. People willing to fight what they percieve as injustice.
2. People who complain but do nothing about what they think is unjust.
3. People who accept injustice as part of life.
This isn't just about immigration. It could be any issue. Most ppl want someone else to do what's needed. They don't want to spend time or money. There will always be a few ppl who are active. If you belong to category 1, don't expect everyone to belong there.
The other aspect IV should consider is broadening the goals. IV has done good work but the core focus seems to be retrogression. Tens of thousands of ppl have cases rotting in BEC for 3-5 years they are not going to contribute to an organization that will put them at par with ppl who filed for labor in the last couple of years. It goes against human psychology.
Just my 2 cents....
--for you only.please read below the reply posted by fellow member franklin--
First off - I have contributed, but here is an explanation of my initial reluctance to do so and possibly why I haven't contributed more than I have, since you asked.
I have often been offended by the tone and bias on this board, when it is plainly evident that the majority of power posters think their own situation as being the only thing that should be resolved, alienating others as a result.
Don't tell me to donate by spending less money on stuff that culturally I never do, or refer to people that I know little about - all for cultural reasons. It was this thread that spurred me to contribute, and ironically, this thread that also offended me first. I still haven't forgotten that.
Wonder how else you alienate people? Try posting in a language that isn't English.
Regarding the recent pledge drive in particular, it gives me a nasty taste in my mouth since it stings of hypocrisy that I can't get over. A similar one was attempted by a member here (which I signed up for), using the ""I will donate $10 monthly to Immigration Voice for one year but only if 1,000 other people will do the same."
That effort, although endorsed by the core group, got 88 people to vote, and was criticized in these very forums as being a waste of time, or not the proper way to do it. Of course, fast forward a few months and now look...
I also find it distasteful to have to read through threads that could be of some importance or value, but find that good chunks are just "Hey, look at me, look at how much I contributed"
So, since I'm all bitter and alienated , why did I actually contribute?
Every time I get annoyed or offended by someone's insensitive or cultural narrow mindedness, I try to ignore it and remind myself that that single person does not represent the values of the core group and this organization as a whole. It gets challenging.
Please don't flame me, I am trying to be honest

This is a Tricky situation.you need Medical leave for your child but 4 months is a bit too long. Pls.contact your Attorney about the consequences of taking 4 Months leave on H1B visa.make sure your HR provides you with all the Paper work that your Attorney might ask to substantiate your leave.
My LC and I140 approved (PD: may 2004). Applied 485 on Aug 8.
I became father last month.
My new born son is sick and he needs total attention for next 4 months. I have used up all my vacation and planning to apply for medical leave. Pediatrician recommends me getting medical leave and support my wife.
I work in a very big hardware company. I have completed 3.5yrs in H1B so far.f I apply for medical leave, I may get a pay cut (like 20 to 30%). Will I be affected because of this medical leave? Are H1B's allowed to take medical leave (upto 4 months)..
Your comments are very much appreciated.
thanks

Hi Cobra,
I would say...do not lose heart. I hope your case gets resolved soon. My friends who have gone for stamping lately have faced such problems. Almost all of them....one in Delhi consulate, another in Kolkata and another in chennai. they got 221g and had to over stay their vacation. But eventually all three of them could make it at the end. As long as you are able to provide all the docs they ask for, you should be good.
Regards,
vj

Dhundhun,
I hold high regard for your postings...but in the 765 manual, I could not find any such rule that you just mentioned..Here is an excerpt from Pg 9 of
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765instr.pdf
If your response to Question 16 is (c)(9) ....
Otherwise, if you filed your I-485 adjustment application with
a USCIS Service Center, you must file Form I-765 at the
Nebraska Service Center or the Texas Service Center,
depending on where you live (see the following addresses)......
Are you sure ?? :confused:
I have recently moved from Ohio to Pennsylvania and am about to file for renewal. Thanks....
Where to send application? This is part of instructions describing Federal Code Section "8 CFR 274a.12" and where to send.
We understand that http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765instr.pdf is main reference.
This document also summarizes where to send EAD application: http://www.visapro.com/US-INS-Forms/Form-I-765.asp.
for (c)(9) I-485 pending
-- #1 Either Service Center with jurisdiction over your residence (NSC or TSC)
-- #2 or Local Office - depending on where your case is pending
The #1 is consistent with http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765instr.pdf. I am confused about it #2 and perhaps my interpretation is not correct. NSC and TSC is not Local Office. As long as case is with NSC and TSC, we may need to send I-765 based on juridiction.
I have other observation also: http://www..com/discussion-forums/i765-1/121036147/last-page/
People are filing based on #1 and #2 above and it has been going OK. Seems that USCIS is able to process regardless.

For the record, filed I-140 and I-485 concurrently (EB2) on June 21 at NSC. Got FP, my wife got EAD.
My lawyer tells me so. Also, the bulletin you cite is very old. Most people stuck in name check, for which BTW there is a separate thread, will coroborrate what i've said.
