I'm a Filipina, and I have a Filipino boyfriend who is being petitioned by his mother (permanent resident).Her mom filed the petition last July 1994. Currently,the priority date is Dec 93 (or is it Jan 94?). I'd like to ask you the following questions:

This new rule is just an interim rule at this time. However, there is a good possibilty that this rule will be extended. Yes, you may apply for the advance parole and EAD at a later time while your 1-485 application is pending. You may file your I-485 if your visa number is available. You can check it from the Visa Bulletin published by DOS. However, since you are living in New York, you will have to file at the Texas Service Center (TSC).

The approved name is valid for a period of 6 months from the date of approval. The Applicant can renew the name within 6 months by submitting a fresh Name application (Form-1A) along with the fees of Rs.500/-, by mentioning that the application is for renewal of the name already approved. Names inadvertently allowed or which are against the guidelines, which have subsequently come to the notice, may be withdrawn by the RoC before or after incorporation of the company.

According to the 180 day rule of AC21, you are allowed to change job without affecting the approved I-140, if you has a pending I-485 for 180 days or more, as long as the new job is in the similar occupational classification as the job in the original petition.

For self-petitioned NIW or EB1-EA application, the job change will not affect the pending I-485. The applicants enjoys a much broader flexibility due to the different nature of their petitions. The I-485 petition will not depend on which employer you work for during the process. But it does not mean that you can work on any job you like after the I-485 submitted. You need to prove and maintain the required qualifications for EB1-EA application.

Whether the PERM regulation prohibits experience on the job. Is it still possible for us to use the PERM regulation for the employees who are working JUST WITH the same employer right from their college degree. Is there any specific criteria for an employer to file labor as PERM (like in terms of income /revenue or anything) as I am planning to change my job and waiting for PERM to be implemented.

In the event that my Change of status application is denied, will I be able to extend my H-4 status? (This is a fall-back option in the remote possibility that there will be problems with the I-485.) If I withdraw my application instead, will USCIS allow me to extend my H-4 status? This is of particular concern to me because I will be turning 21 soon and I would, in normal circumstances, not be considered a dependent. This is really very very bad news for me. I am a month or so away from my LC.

Answer : It is not necessary to have the original approved I-140 approval notice, nor, if pending, the original I-140 receipt notice. A copy is utilized in filing the I-485. Answer : It is helpful to submit though not necessary to submit with the I-485 every I-94 card you have had in the past. It is strongly advised, however, to have one's current I-94 card to show valid status in the U.S.

The first risk is monetary. You will not be able to get a refund for the I-485 filing fees from the USCIS if your I-140 is ultimately denied. Secondly, you may become out of status if your I-140 application is denied and you are in adjustment pending status. However, you can alleviate this risk by choosing a reputable law firm experienced in filing I-140 petitions.

Provided there are no complications, local subcontracting arrangement will be approved and ready for collection 1 clear working day after the date of application.

The nonimmigrant visa number is the one that is in red at the bottom of the visa. It is not the control number. If you have a U.S. employer, they can apply for your GC even while you are in USA. It can take several years (2-3 or more). It may also be difficult for you to travel to USA while the GC is pending.

Normally, the Approval Notice/Welcome Notice will come to our office with a copy to the foreign national applicant. In some instances, it is possible to take this to a local USCIS District Office and get a Permanent Residence stamp in the foreign national's passport, which can be used to prove eligibility for all benefits to which US permanent residence entitles you (such as unrestricted employment or travel).

Expired Files can be re-opened for further prescribed periods on payment of fees to the society. At present, expired files are being re-opened without recourse to original buyers / applicant.

Answer : It is necessary that an applicant for adjustment be in the United States when filing the I-485. S/he needs to be in the U.S. until at least the USCIS has received the application. If the person is maintaining H or L status, s/he can leave thereafter, even without advance parole. If the person had been in any other sort of status, such as F or J, one should not depart the U.S. without obtaining the approval of the advance parole before departing the U.S.
