Hi,
I just filed I-485 for myself and my wife. She is currently on OPT and has an approved EAD (F-1).
I can't seems to get a definite answer on how the filing will affect her status. Here's what I know so far, pls correct me if I am wrong:
1) F-1 is non-immigrant intent. Hence, when the I-485 is submitted she is no longer on F-1 but "AOS pending" status.
2) She "can" continue to work using the EAD. I said "can" because technically she is not supposed to but this is a grey area.
3) The PROBLEM is when she decides to travel. There is high risk that the immigration officer will see that she has filed I-485 and hence her F-1/OPT is no longer valid.
4) The PROBLEM in (3) can be circummvent if she uses AP from the I-485 application.
Am I missing anything? Thanks.

The logic of making everyone current is that USCIS need to use up all the 140,000 visas by end of fiscal year.
I think that the slot does not get counted against the 140,000 until the GC is approved.
Therefore, USCIS may need to approve a lot of GC before October.
That would mean they need to process a bunch of applications within a 3 month period.
Is my logic flawed? Or might there be hope that some good number of us will get GC in 3 to 4 months?

yes. ur 140 is still valid. you don't need paystubs from company A, but its better to be working for company A the time you are filing 485 with them to make your case more authentic.
hope it helps!

I think we need to expose employers who are taking advantage of us in different ways just because we are stuck with them due to retrogression. This way if we cannot change the legislation right away we can atleast scare the crooks by exposing them so that they cannot trap new people.

Hi,
I've been working full-time on EAD for the last 2+ years. I have a pending 485 application, on which my spouse is the primary applicant. I have never applied for H1B in the past, because I transferred directly from F1 (student visa) to this EAD.
My spouse also has an H1B, which is in it's 7th year (completed 6 yrs of H1B).
My spouse has been put on furlough (unpaid leave) for 3 months.
What are our options ?
1. Can my employer file H1B for me, and an H4 for my spouse ? How will this affect our green card application (on which my spouse is primary applicant) ?
2. How much time does my spouse have to look for another job (with similar job description), without being out of status ? Is there some grace period associated with H1?
Thanks

I was also in the same boat couple of months back and got two appointments. Technically we can send a letter to USCIS with explanation. But my attorney suggested me to go for the second appointment. So I went twice..

perhaps the slow commenting is due to the quality of the picture. Looks great, nice frame, nice composition. It'd perhaps saturate it more and enhance the sun....
