Guys,
I live in NJ and I had sent my EAD renewal package to the following address via USPS certified mail:
USCIS
Texas Service Center
P.O. Box 851041
Mesquite, TX 75185-1041
When I tracked my receipt today (for both mine and my wife's package), I got the following status:
Status: Notice Left
We attempted to deliver your item at 1:47 PM on May 9, 2008 in MESQUITE, TX 75185 and a notice was left. It can be redelivered or picked up at the Post Office. If the item is unclaimed, it will be returned to the sender. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.
Can any one tell me if I have used incorrect mailing address or is this status normal? Do I need to do anything about it?
Thanks a bunch. Your replies will be appreciated.

Not really, broadly speaking lack of information can never be a benefit to consumer. (Read: hidden clauses in agreements). It might be that they have been doing that and we don't know. You will ONLY know if you apply for another H1B transfer or any other application say I-140/I-485 with new employer and then USCIS MIGHT tell you that your I-140 is revoked on MM/DD/YYYY and you are no longer in valid H1B status since then. That would be too late and it is not retroactive. Remember that onus is on you to maintain valid H1B status all the time during the period of H1B. Once again I am not saying what I mention above is the correct interpretation of law, but in the absence of any clarify it can be one of the implication.
then it is to our benefit that they dont clarify it for as long as possible, bec normally any decisions are not retroactive but only for cases going forward.

All I did was call the Customs and Border Patrol office, explained my situation, and they transferred me to the appropriate officer who handled such issues. They just seemed to know what needed to be done.
Don't know if this helps but - I did mention clearly when explaining the situation that "a mistake was made by the CPB officer on the I-94" during my last entry.
I am not a lawyer, so I will not comment on the status question.
Good luck.

I am in the same situation right now, called both SFO and SJC airports and they seem to indicate they do not know anything about it. DVB how did you handle it ? Also, will it affect my status being on expired I-94 ?

Also will it be good idea to collect this info and publish it so that all of us know the rules and regulations of each state , this will help people immensely in situtaions like I am in ?
There are no hassles for DL renewal in CT. you will be ok.

Hello Krishnam
Since your GC is for future employment, your current employer might not be able to support you on H1 but you can always get them to support you for future employment and so they can still not revoke your 140 petition process. So if possible be on good terms with them and ask them to keep your 140 process intact
I have a I-485 pending, and there is a chance I may be laid off after 180 days. Would I have to have another similar job offer at hand, or can I still continue looking for a job after 180 days of I-485 till I find one ?
Thank you for your help.
1. What is your current status? H1/EAD? 140 approved/in process
a) If 140 is approved and you filed 485 and its been 180 days and if you meanwhile have an EAD in hand,
a1) then you can move to a new employer using the EAD or
a2) transfer H1 and have no problems with GC process.
If USCIS asks you then you say you are using AC21. At that time since your 140 is approved/contains all required initial evidence USCIS will not ask anything more. If they do however ask then your new company will need to provide all the required information again.
Required initial evidence, as specified under 8 CFR 204.5(g)(2), includes copies of: (1) annual reports, (2) federal tax returns, or (3) audited financial statements. The petitioner must submit a copy of at least one of these required documents
There is big thread on this forum somewhere about Initial evidence. Search should reveal it
b)If 140 is pending and you filed 485 and its been 180 days but you dont have an EAD, if 140 petition is not withdrawn then you can find an employer to support your H1 ( assuming you are on H1. Not sure abt L1 case)
-goodluck

You cross the border every day?
If your Attorney says it�s okay then probably you don�t have to worry.
However, your current Canadian address is not what you have in files on your I-485. Because, you can't give a foreign address.
So, I personally think you are beyond jeopardizing your pending I-485.
Good Luck!
Would request you to elaborate a bit.
Note that I am not using either my EAD or my AP. All I am using is H1-B and my Canadian Passport to enter and leave US. Most people on the Canadian US border to that.
Also, I commute to US everyday to work, which is less than an interval of 12 hours.
Your input is greatly appreciate. Thank you.

Are you sure? Cause I did work with them, no one imagined the crisis of real estate was going to be soooo steep and also no one imagined that my i-485 was going to be approved so fast.
I can proof I worked with them from 2002-2006 (4 years). They gave me a letter saying they still not able to get me a job, i did have intent to work with them.
That is the point. It was not of your own volition.
Also, there is no rule that says citizenship is not available to people who do not work for the sponsoring employer for a certai nperiod of time after GC approval. It is just good practice to stick around for a few months after approval, but it is not law.
You will have no trouble. Change your status from bittersweet to sweet and have fun. Also, good luck finding a new job.

As far as H-1, I don't understand: wont you need an H-1 transfer from your new employer, in that case the 3 yr extension will come from him, so it shouldnt matter if your old employer revokes I-140, since anyway you are planning to restart gc process.
Yes I do need the transfer from new employer but the original extension of H1B beyond six years is granted because I have an approved I140. I was wondering if revoking that I140 has any effect on the H1b too.
To give more specifics: six years of h1b will be completed in Feb �07. PERM labor is approved and lets say if I140 is approved by Jan, my plan is to do one of two things:
(i) Immediately apply for 3 year extension of H1B from present employer. Wait until it�s approved � the new H1b is valid until Feb �10. After approval apply for h1b transfer. Is this possible? After the transfer if original I140 is revoked, I assume UCSIS is not going to recall my h1b. Am I right? The extended h1b period is with me to keep � is my understanding right?
(ii) After the approval of I140 (say in Jan), I will apply for h1b transfer and extension with new employer (extension based on the fact that I have an approved I140 and that priority date is not current). The hitch here is the approved I140 is from a different employer than the one asking for h1b extension. Is this possible? (I know that one year extension based on pending labor is not tied to which employer applied for the labor; is this rule same for approved I140 related extension?). What is effect of I140 revoke on this case?
Thanks a bunch.

Interfiling
�MurthyDotCom
The USCIS confirmed that it will continue to permit interfiling of I-485s when a person obtains two I-140 petition approvals. Interfiling is essentially the transfer of a pending I-485 application to adjust status from one I-140 petition to another filed for the same beneficiary. Examples would be when there is a successor employer, or an I-140 petition filed by a new employer or with the same employer based on a new and different job offer. This eliminates the need to re-file the I-485 in many situations, if there is a second I-140 petition to support the pending I-485.
So if your second I-140 is approved you'll be able to interfile if you want to but I do not see the problem with filing the second I-140 while one is already pending.

all that stuff comes in at I-140 stage. During PERM/LC they dont care about his qualifications, its the job that is being certified.
See the audit questions again, all relate to justifications that the requirements are really needed for the job advertised. ie. when the job ad said MS+2 Years is needed, DOL wants to know why this job requires MS+2 Years of experience. His lawyer is right, a more conservative approach to job requirements (MS+0 or BS+5 for EB2 is much more easier to defend). As you increase the minimum job requirements, it reduces the pool of available candidates who can apply for the job. DOL wants to make sure the minimum requirements are really valid, and not set artificially high simply to reduce the pool of candidates.
Basically your LC sponsor needs to be able to justify all requirements posted for the job (education, experience, specific skills) else you can be in trouble.
Yes audit questions seem to be hinting screw up from employer side but then also it can not be judged exactly on the same line without going into detail of provided job classification, job requirement and furnished docs from employee.Now all of the areas you mentioned are crucial from employer side and in addition to that "employee's degree" evaluation is also done at labor stage,(PERM or OLD LC). Please see following link.
http://www.usabal.com/permres/PERM_Overview.html
Now logically screw up can occur at one of the two or both segments. "Employee side related docs and process" and "Employer side docs and process". I was kind of trying to know whether poster might not have screwed up anything from his side. You covered the areas "from employer side" - whether it may be business necessity and/or recruitment results. Now if employee's docs have conflict with any of "business necessity" for an example evaluation cert depicts MS (Electrical Engineering) and "business necessity" is to hire "MS (Computer science) then also it could create the problem. In such case employer/lawyer if can establish that MS (Electrical) can also that job then matter is finished..

Actual daily press and wire service photographers will undoubtly use 4mp. You may not be aware, but all the gorgeous 2 column color shots you see on USA Today etc. are printed from files that are usually 700k - 800k. There are heavily compressed for transmitting. All the wires do that. They don't get full files. The most attractive things to me are the high ISO performance, the ability to customize colorspace amd I'm anxious to test the new autofocus capabilities. The 8 mp is a plus for shooting for a mag or other output. Even at that, I've had 1D shots as a glossy mag color that looked great. One advantage higher megapixels give a sportshooter is for sports like football. Due to the size of the field, the ability to crop more gives you more field coverage. But then the question is will you have enough time to work with files that are twice the size. I'm sure that's why Canon listened and gave us 4 MP as an option.Based on this Steve, would it be safe to say that a 1D. as is, would still be a viable product to have on the shelves (notwithstanding that it would effect sales of the new one and that's why they don't)? I think there is room for a 1D in it's current MP capacity, but with the 1D Mark II improvements.. (Shooting RAW at 4MP that is)

if u have a valid H1, plus a valid stamp...empoyer may not give u 485 receipt as u can re-enter w/o prob. Just on H1
However, if ur H1 VISa stamp is expired..u have to either use AP (which was not filed, so cant use) or get VISa stamping fresh appt.
The regulation above says you need H1 stamp AND original receipt notice of your I-485. So if you have to travel abroad, you should be able to ask the receipt from your employer.

but they choose to goto India mainly becuase of uncertain GC process
I myself have a good offer from my company which I am pondering on, I am stuck here for a while to finish my masters
if I go back to India, it could be that I might taking many more jobs, as I need to train and build a team in India and replace my team here
oh well, I am sure there are stories similar to this we got to find it, we need to show losing one skilled labor could also mean losing many more
