I sent it using United States Postal Service (usps). I did use full zip code (75185-2401). I also used usps return receipt, which means somebody from USCIS has to sign this form.
Return receipt is problem for PO Boxes. This is unattended. Not sure who signs it. Generally they put a paper in Mail Box., and based on that someone will be picking from Post Office.
This is the reason for it - so it will be delivered.
I just use delivery confirmation for P.O. Boxes.

Fitz,
Following is some clarification that I got from my Lawyer..
1) Will there be any problem if I am not able to make it back on Oct-1st, due to any unforeseen reason, If 485 is already received by USCIS and pending?
a) You need to be physically present here when I-485 is filed. After that, it doesn't matter where you are. At some point you may be scheduled for fingerprinting, but you will likely have months for that.
2) If we leave on TN after filing AOS is there any chance that USCIS will consider the AOS request abandoned even if we return on Oct-1st in H status?
a) An I-485 can't be abandoned simply because you left the USA
3) Once we file 485 do we need to wait for the receipt before traveling abroad?
a) No.

My wife got her teaching credentail in California last year. You first get your degree evaulated by AERC and then apply to any school that offers a credential program. You do not get much credit for your UG courses. The whole teacher credentail program takes any where between 55 to 65 credit hours to finish. The fee for the program is low as it is subsitized by the state govt's. You will pay instate tution atleast in California. No financial aid on H4 visa.

Remind me again, why do we pay these attorney big dollars for??
This is one BIG STUPID mistake by your lawyer that can potentially ruin your life. I am hoping for the best for you on the other hand I wish the stupid attorney of yours should be sued in case your application is not accepted.
Singhsa, I know. At this point, I am looking for alternatives. Please let me know if you have seen such experiences and what USCIS has done in such cases.

I think getting salary regulary but salary slip after three or more months is common scenario in industry (deleberate attempt by employers, so that H1B transfer can't be filed). I have faced this music, my kid facing it and I am sure many people facing this.
I was lucky to go about it, USCIS did not ask at the time of transfer. Need to get idea, how others have handled it. Does bank statement work in this case?
Do you know who is processing your pay checks, is it ADP? can you get a copy from them. I always carry latest pay stubs while travelling, come up with some execuse and try to get the paystubs. You can always fight and get the situation resolved, but that is your choice.
I once had a bad experience with a travel agent, It was hard for me to get my tickets from them, until I called the local TV networks. Once they received a call from the TV network, they issued my tickets in hours. In your case, it is going to be your call on how much you want to fight to get the situation resolved.

his question was will bad credit affect GC? answer is "no it wont"
please dont suddenly become "Edward Jones" or "Suze orman" and give financial advice because you may be doing bettter than the person asking the question. God forbid, but one major illness can wipe out anyone's good credit, even with insurance. watch "Sicko" and "Maxed Out". Eye-opening documentaries about the predatory greed of the insurance and financial firms. Dont be so smug. kidding about other people's misfortune isnt funny.
Ok you just twisted my words, took it out of context and made new meaning out of it... oh man relax, i was not trying to kid about anyones misfortune here! I was not even thinking about it from that angel!
If you read carefully i did reply to his question although i do agree it is a bit cryptic ;) and if my reply sounded like kidding about "misfortune" then i really do apologize to the original poster, that was not my intent.
Green_Card: Thanks for policing... :rolleyes:

Just use your valid H1/H4 visa for travel. If you had applied for I-485, then you would have had an extra option to apply and use AP for travel. Since you haven't filed I-485 yet, you can continue to use H1/H4 visa for travel while you wait to file I-485. Btw, if you are already over your 6 year H1 visa limit, then having an approved I-140 entitles you to get 3 yr H1 extensions whenever you are due for H1 renewal.
Thank you very much for your response. Yes we have received a 3yr extension (approval notice). in that case, I am assuming that we would have to go to the US embassy overseas to get H1B and H4 stamped on the passport opon returning back to the usa?

Thanks for the input
New York Real Estate License FAQs from New York real estate school online. (http://new-york.realestateschoolonline.com/FAQ.aspx)
so from this link and answer to question number 4, I take you can't even get a license to be a real estate agent in the state of NY, let alone someone sponsor your greencard. Sorry to be so brutal, but with a Master's degree I bet u can get a much better job than a real estate agent. Just my 2 cents.

My 485 app was received on July 18 at NSC, no checks cashed yet. EAD/ AP recieved on Aug 10 at NSC, got RN for EAD and AP. Is there a possibility of getting EAD card, even if 485 was not filed? One of my freinds was under the same situation, and she and her spouse got the EAD from TSC, without 485 filing.

Wasn't it Condi who said that this fiasco was a 'small inconvenience' to the applicants ?? A creative open letter ad highlighting the absurdity of this comment in a major paper would drive the message home, just like Alberto Gonzalez's classmates from Harvard did when they published an ad in the Washington post : http://websrvr80il.audiovideoweb.com/il80web20037/ThinkProgress/2007/Page%20A13%205-15-07.pdf

Actually it is 3 seperate images all of which are .png images with transparency, all which use A/S. You are right though, they are small images and it is a small flash movie. I guess with something bigger it wouldn't be a good idea.
Thanks for the info david. Much appreciated:)

ok- so , I am guessing the consensus is go with the earlier PD (+ EB3).
Also, is the SKILL bill is for people with higher ed from the US- both of us qualify for that as we both comepleted our MS in the US.

Hi, Looks like several of us have got glitches here and there on the I 485. As I mentioned in my post, the customer service persons at CIS told me to make correction after getting the receipt.
I suggest that each of us call the customer service just to verify whether the responses are consistent. I called 2 times and the responses were largely consistent.
The rationale for this proposed strategy is that customer service people sometimes are impatient and really do not answer questions appropriately. This seems to be a common problem with over-the-phone customer service.:mad:
Please let me know if you called in and get a response: 1 800 375 5283
Take care.

I went to the infopass to inquire about the "additional review" letter I got from TSC. Officer did some search and told me the following " this case is in transit to an officer TODAY, just 30 minutes before. you dont have to worry about this notice". He also said that call us back in 45 days .. I did fax all the details to the Senator but am not sure whether this resulted from the inquiry.

Thank you for your reply. The scenario would be...if my husband loses his H1B due to a layoff, etc, then I would lose my H4 status. In that case, will I still be able to enter the US on a B1/B2 as it was initially valid till 2013.
No.

I wanted to get some idea on why EB2 got stuck around Jan 03 when it flew past Apr 01 deadline.
EB2 was completely unaffected by 245(i) and had no reason to be stuck on Apr 01.
EB2 being stuck around Jan 03 etc... could actually be a good news for EB3. Why? It means that the number of people who abandoned their EB3 PDs to escape retrogression and filed for EB2 is very large!
The key thing to watch for India EB3 people is that PD should remain beyond May 1st, 2001. If it doesn' revert back to April, we can assume steady progress.
All in all, I don't see any reason why Jan 2003 will have any -ve affect on EB3... it could be +ve though.
