I live/work in california - and on the I-485 form it says the address is :
USCIS Nebraska Service Center
P.O. Box 87485
Lincoln, NE 68501-7485
but it also says in the first few lines in the form:
If you live in one of these states or territories, please read this notice to determine your filing location:
ALASKA, CALIFORNIA, IDAHO, IOWA, KANSAS, MARYLAND, MISSOURI, MONTANA, NEBRASKA, NEW MEXICO,OKLAHOMA, OREGON, TEXAS, AND WASHINGTON
AS PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED AND REMAINS IN EFFECT - EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 1, 2004DIRECT MAIL INSTRUCTIONS FOR PERSONS FILING FORM I-485
Also if I use fedex then it cant deliver to the PO Box..I am really confused..
If its possible to file at a local USCIS center its better because it can reach there faster- maybe even today?
Can someone please advise? Apologies if this has been covered already.

Thanks for the info. Any thoughts on under what scenarios they issue request for an interview. And does this means that the case is further delayed, or they randomly pick cases for interview.

I am currently working for a company at Chicago,IL on OPT (Optional Practical Training) period which is of one year. I have graduated as Electical Engineer from NJIT,NJ this year and is authorized to work during the OPT. Unfortunately the OPT is ending on 11th February, 2007.
I applied for H1B through the same company at Chicago but missed it as the CAP was closed by 28th August, 2006. Hence, I am currently working on the OPT work authorization.
I am aware that I will be out of status after February 11th at the end of my OPT tenure. I am planning to re-apply for H1 with the same company again well in time next year. As I will be out of status until I get my H1B application accepted and approved possibly by October'07, what are the best options available for me to legally stay here in USA with a valid status during the period until October 2007. Time is short and I needed to work out some thing quick.
I shall be grateful to any one who could send in your valuable advise.

Hi all,
I am on H4 visa now. Got a long awaited job (with EAD) which will start in June 2011. My I-94 is till september 2010 becoz H4 is stamped till that date. But I have I94 with I-797 till June 2011(6 years of H4). I want to travel to India before i start my job, probably in may. My husband is still on H1 visa eventhough he has EAD.
1.Can i travel on H4 status as i m not holding a job right now? My 797 is only till june 2011. If i go for stamping, it is more likely to get rejected.
2. Can i use EAD and AP eventhough i am not working rightnow? Are there any chance of denying my reentry with AP?
I cannot afford to loose my job and due to personal reasons, i can't avoid the travel. Please give your valuable advice.
You can use your AP for travel and come in as a Parolee even if you are not working.
Since you think you will have trouble getting H4 stamped, coming in using AP is the best thing to do.
Usually, travel with AP is smooth. If the officer asks you the reason for your travel, tell him/her that you went to see your family (don't say that you went on vacation). Make sure that you take the copy of your I-485 receipt notice and your original EAD with you, just in case. You will be sent for secondary inspection but, don't worry, that is normal practice for Parolees.
Good luck with your travel.

That was an old news. Around 60000 visa's were pre-allocated to pending applications before July 2nd, 2007. I would be very surprised if the numbers are not much more than 18000 for India EB3. India used to get around 40-45 K visas per year for all EB categories before 2005 since the soft quota was introduced. All these numbers are avilable on USCIS website.

Hey here is a situation:
I have over 7 years of experience in IT
Come with a 4 year bachelor and 2 year masters from India from a non-computers background.
Have a diploma (1 year in computers)
few other computer certificate courses.
I work for Fortune's Best software company as sr. software qa engineer. My company wants to go ahead filing for my GC.
My company attorney says am not eligbile for EB2 based on the above but eligible for EB3. I am confused because I already have an EB2 being filed for future employment from a small company.
So I kind of guessing my company attorney's want to play safe to be on EB3 rather than EB2.
So what do u guys think that my company attorney is correct.
My understanding is that with the above qualifications, I am eligible for EB2.
Am I wrong????
Why EB2 ? Isn't EB3 doing better for India than EB2.

I guess most July filers gave their FP in Oct 2007 so they are due for FP in Jan / Feb 2009. Will they have to fill another form then with $80 biometric fees or will it be free?

and it's still valid for almost 2 years.
If, say, I find another employer in a few months, can I use the visa that I have now?
If so, can I start working for that employer once he files a new petition, or do I have to wait until the new approval notice?
What status are you in now ?

My company is merging and i may get the axe..i have tried all tricks...but my exit is imminent..;(..well that's life.
I was about to file for my H1 extension... and now i may not be able to do that.
My spouse is on H1(Dec 2010) and we are expecting in april..and she thus cant travel.
I don't want to change to H4...(if i return i may switch to CP..hence i dont want to change to H4 and lose the GC process)
so can anyone please tell me,
a.) after my H1 expires in april, can i stay for a month or so and then leave the country?..will i be in any trouble at the port of exit.. i need time to pack and ship..hence the delay...
...Should i seek a legal advice???
... i just want to know.. if i can approach the USCIS and explain and get some kind of extension..
..do you know anyone who has been in a similar situation..
what are my options.. any advice will be appreciated...
thanks..

My H-1B petition is currently under processing in Vermont sevice center.
The receipt status shows it was recieved on May 8th and currently pending.
The processing dates on the USCIS website show May 31st as the current date.
Any reason why I still didnt receive a decision from USICS for my H-1B Petition? Does this mean anything? Or can i still keep the hope that I may receive a decision from USCIS?

1) Since I140 never required the PD to be current how can one explain the backlog on I140 applications? They used to premium process those it in one month.
2) If 180 days pass since the I485 receipt date but I140 is not yet approved can one use AC21 safely?
(I understand the risk of having the I140 denied and being out of status. But aside of that... )
My understanding that the H1B cannot be ported once you have I140 pending without having to redo your I140 and I485.
The lawyers that created those laws must have been on something ...
Thanks
Caution: You are taking Risk!
Based on Yates memo ( you can google for this), a person with pending I-140
and I-485 pending for more than 180 days can invoke AC21 provided I-140 is approvable at the time of using AC21. Approvable meaning, if they take up your 140 during AC21, it should be in a position to be approved without RFE's.
There was a link on Ron's site where he said
1> if you don't have to worry about ability 2 pay issue, meaning, your company is big
AND
2> you don't have to justify your qualifications for your EB category. Say, a three year degree and some diploma/certification for EB3 and four year degree and questionable experience for EB2 or a four year degree with diploma/cert that qualifies as masters...Especially Eb2 you have to be careful...Since most jobs doesnt require Eb2 but people apply thru that because they have masters or Bachelors plus five....Don't get me wrong on this...I've seen people in EB2 category doing QA testing. I agree, there are many EB2 that do advanced work....and not just software application development/management.
If the above two are good, the chances of RFE on I-140 is slim.
Even if there is one, your old company should co-operate...I believe that is where the risk is....

Today i received my EAD card, It says fingerprint not available. I have not yet received FP notice
Has this happened to anybody else, will i have to update EAD card after FP, how does this work
Filed on July 16th, My checks were cashed on 10th Sep
Thanks
vinod
First EAD will have no fingerprints, since you have not gone through FP.
Its normal. Read other threads.
You will not need to update EADs, renewal next year will take care of this automatically.
Could you please provide some more info on your case...ie. filed with which service center, case transfered or not....Remember this is community site, we share information/knowledge for benefit of each other, Thanks

Hi Guys,
On July 2nd I have applied for my wife (EAD, AP, I485) and have waited for 3 months (October 1st) to hear that USCIS has rejected her application due to wrong fees (But we have sent them the correct fees)
My Lawyer immediately sent back the application to USCIS saying that the Check we have sent is correct and it is before increasing the fees and we haven�t done any mistake.
In the meantime on July 16th I got my 485 approved and got my GC. So now we were worried as my wife is already out of status and don�t know how long it will take now to get her receipts and how long she can stay.
I have tried calling USCIS � Every time same answer -- you have to wait, you have to wait No records in the Database. Yesterday when I called, a Lady answered the phone and she said we need to wait 90 more days again as it is like a new Submission and it was a shock for me after hearing that.
Can any body suggest me what to do in this kind of situation? Is there any body in the same situation?
Thanks
