順便說一句，本人對＂預測＂是非常的不在行。諸如下個月的排期會是怎樣，移民局發了 RFE 會要什麽，網上顯示我的申請被拒了可能是什麽原因，我什麽時候能收到綠卡，等等。任何類似這樣的問題都難以作答，實在抱歉。

我的EB1A 140 cc 485同時寄給USCIS的TC中心，後來又轉到NC。485 RD的日期（12/21/2015）剛剛過了我J1簽證(已waiver)的最後期限（12/14/2015），雖然是合法居留（valid stay）但沒有了合法身份（out of status）。一直在找給H1B的工作到現在還沒有結果。如140批了，可485會不會被拒？因為看到你說是“申請人當前身份必須合法”（你的原話“然而，非移民申請如果被拒，其 I-485 也將麵臨同樣的結局。引申來說，在 AOS 狀態再申請 I-485，是瞎子點燈白費蠟。”

皮匠老師，you answered my question last time about my wife's application from F1 to H4. Thank you. I have another question:
My H-1B will expire in September 2011 and my application for extension of H1B to 2014 has been approved. But my wife's application from F1 to H4 (her I-539) has been submitted based on my old I-129 (expiration date is 9/10/2011) and is pending now. So I am wondering if I can change that pending application so it will be based on new I-129? or we have to file the second I-539 based on my new I-129 (expiration date is 9/10/2011) even the old one is pending. Thanks.

In the I-863 form for the green card application for my parents, I am the only sponor.
Therefore
I will put my annual income (my W-2 Item 1) as the household income in Line 23
and I will put my annual income (my W-2 Item 1) in Line 25, as the 2010 federal tax return number. Even though the AGI shown in the feretal tax return (form 1040) also includes my husband's income, I will not use that number, since it includes my husband's income and he is not the sponsor.
Thank you so much for your kindly help in your busy time!

In the I-864 form, I only put my annual income in Line 23, since my annual income is enough to support and my husband’s income is not needed.
However, what should I put in Line 25, where it asks for the income from the federal tax return. The federal tax return is jointly filed and it automatically includes my husband’s income in the tax return.

老婆opt即將到期，準備申請轉h4， 我的h1b是08年F1-opt轉過來的
and will expire 9/10/2011. the application for extension of my H1b has been filed on 4/06/11. (pending)
現在在填表的時候有個問題，在I539form part3中2和3應該勾選哪一個？
2,is this application based on an extension or change of status already granted to your spouse, child, or parent?
3,is this application based on a separate petition or application to give your spouse, child, or parent an extension or change of status?
if pick 2, it seems she has to file extension again in 09/2011.
if pick 3, she can request the requested date of 09/2014 (my H1B 3 year extension) ?
老師，我曾參編一本“人民軍醫出版社”出版的書，有老師告訴我申請綠卡的材料中盡量避免有MILITARY的詞出現，是這樣的嗎？如果我寫了people's militarry medical press 會有麻煩嗎？如何避免？我準備申請EB1A

1.必須要E-file嗎？因為人在國內（上海），純DIY，單線與移民局聯係，想直接投遞紙質，不知可否？如果不進行E-file，好像就沒有case number 和 bar code，這兩樣東西是否為匯款的時候需要注明的？是否在投遞紙質文件時一定需要這兩樣呢？
2.關於匯款：人在國內，到底該怎麽匯款？在I140 instruction說：“the check or money order must be drawn on a bank of other financial institution located in the United States”是否隻能讓人從美國匯？如果自己操辦，該如何進行？地址填什麽，才能確保U.S. Department of Homeland Security收到？
3.已經仔細研讀了I140 instruction，但是沒有發現往“U.S. Department of Homeland Security”匯錢的具體地址，難倒我了——————皮匠大人請解答一下哈

I am sorry I cannot input Chinese charaters in office. I have a question regarding the DS-230 form after the I-824 approval. I received my green card last month and my son's I-824 approved last week. My questions are:
(1) In form DS-230 part II has a Petitioner Address section. Should be my address or my son's address?
(2) In form DS230 Part I has a section regarding his mother's information: should he fill in his step-mother's information or his bi-mother's information? I divorced 11 yrs ago and living with his step-mother currently. He is living with bi-mother now.

Thank you for your response. I already read your post regarding traveling while H1/H4 pending. My question is really to your statement in that post,
在當前 H-1b 批準書過期後入境
因為你的 H-1b 批文已經過期，新的卻還未批，不管是申請簽證還是申請入境，都是不能批的。你的機會隻在於等待新的延期申請的批準書。
I fall into this category, so when you say, your only chance is to wait for the approval of new application of renewal. Does it mean that, I can take the chance to leave US, and in case my renewal is approved before the date when I come back to US, I can use that approved renewal to enter US?
Or I should never take chance on that, just do not leave US before my new application is approved.
請問pjiang老師,
My current H1B expired on 7/15/2010, and my renewal application is still pending (it was received 6/1/2010). I really need to go back China in 2 weeks, and my HR called USCIS and they said they are working on cases received on 5/15 now. Can I still go back China in 2 weeks without this renewal approved? Or if my case will be approved right before my travel date, but I only see approval status online but not received the paper approval yet, can I just go and ask HR to mail that to me.
I am really frustrated now with this renewal stuck and delaying my back to China trip. And I really appreciate any advice or suggestions.

如果我很快file一個新的申請（MTR被deny之後兩個禮拜之內），是不是有可能我的老case（previous I-140 and MTR)還沒被移下架，我的新的申請又被assign到同一移民官手上？換句話說，您覺得我大概得等上多久再refile我的申請，以減小新case被assign到同一移民官的概率？

Are these enough as evidence to get approval? Is that helpful if I ask my previous employer to provide the letter claiming me as a consultant (no payroll, though)?

Pjiang老師，還有一疑問，我找遍了關於485的處理程序和USCIS有關visa bulletin No 107 (July 2007) 的FAQ和regulation，沒有一條說USCIS接受了I-485後，如果visa number not available，必須把I-485 petition put on hold的條款。請問您能否幫我找到相關的法律依據？
請問pjiang老師，我的485被拒說是因為visa number not available。我是2007年8月份交的485， EB2 Perm, I-140已批。請問應該填motion to reconsider還是motion to reopen? 多謝。

Thank you for your response. The situation I understand now is like this:
a, if the appeal gets approved, I will be fine, and can legally stay per the new I-94;
b, if the appeal is denied, I will be Out of Status, starting from the date of denial of the initial I539 or the date of denial of the appeal?
c, if the appeal is still pending when I leave the country, will I be considered illegal overstay?

請問老師我的情況：我是以L1身份來美工作，I-94的日期是8／19／2009。我08年4月被layoff， 交了I-539申請轉換成旅遊簽證，但是填表的時候筆誤寫成b-1。後來打電話到移民局改成b-2，收到書麵確認修改為B-2。11月份的時候收到移民局來信，要求b-1的補充材料，公司證明，statement of departure from the United States,以及財力證明。我發現他們還是沒有把我的申請改為B2，就寫信去說明。09年1月，收到denial, 原因是：you did not provide any information regarding your departure from the United States or evidence that you have the ability to financially maitain yourself while in the United States.
我現在file了I-290B,並補上了statement of departure和財力證明。
請問我現在是合法居留嗎？如果在8／19之前我的申請還是pending，我是否必須離境？這次被拒的紀錄會不會對以後簽證留下不好的影響？非常感謝！！！
I have a question about AC21. I have both I-140 OR (company sponsor) and I-485 concurrently filing and pending now. I may have to change employer due to company restructure.
I think clearly AC21 should be invoked after I change to a different employer. The question is should I invoke AC21 after I-140 is approved or should I invoke AC21 immediately after I change to a different employer? If AC21 should be invoked immediately after changing employer, will that cause the deny of I-140?

During the process of I-485, which is with no regard to its PD, the applicant may be required for an interview.
我剛才又在網上查了一下B2延期的問題，看到這樣一段話：
if an extension request is denied and the applicant remains in the U.S. beyond the denial date, unlawful presence will begin to accrue. Accrual of more than 180 days of unlawful presence will preclude the foreign national from reentering the U.S. for three years. One year or more of unlawful presence will bar reentry for ten years. The law does afford a 120-day grace period regarding the accrual of unlawful presence where an applicant timely filed an extension request; that is, unlawful presence will not begin to accrue until the extension request is denied, or until it has been pending for 121 days, whichever occurs first. This should not be confused with failure to maintain nonimmigrant status, i.e., staying beyond the authorized period of stay stamped on the I-94, which will result in automatic cancellation of a multiple entry visa.（出處：http://www.philippinenews.com/article.php?id=2579）

請教您一個關於I-485申請費的問題:
我現在正在準備給我父母辦移民,the filing fee for I-485 is $1010 (according to the instruction). However,I just learned from a friend of mine, that 她隻交了一份申請費(她也是給她父母一起辦的).She said she remembered very clearly one of the document indicated that if both of the parents file together, only one filing fee is required, that was in 2006. Unfortunately, she couldn't locate the copies of the petition she filed.
Do you happen to know anything about this? Is there a different way of submit the petition that only one filing fee is required? I have been searching the whole day and was unable to find anything mentioning this - I found only you, and I even registered with Wenxuecity - just to be able to ask you this question and hopefully get an answer from you.

問一個Priority Date transfer 的問題。我有兩個approved I-140. EB3, priority date 06/2003; EB2, priority date 02/2006. 2007年7月File I-485 用的是 EB2 的 I-140,當時 EB3的 LC還關在小黑屋裏。
問了公司找的律師關於Transfer the EB3 priority date to EB2，他們堅持說必須再 File一個Amendment on the EB2 I-140. 可是I-140的Amendment的Filing, 就跟I-140一樣，至少也得8-9個月。跟他們說了半天，他們還是堅持這是唯一的途徑。
When you have additional evidence to challenge the denial of the visa application, you don't need your spouse to be present which itself only may not suffice to receive an approval.
請教您一個比較複雜的問題:My husband's green card has been approved today. However, he doesn't have a valid Passport, he needs to apply for a reentry permit or a refugee travel document, but I am so confused by the rules. I will really really appreciate if you could help me to understand the rules. Here is his situation:
1. He is not a Chinese Citizen.
2. His passport expired on June 11, 2005
3. His country will not renew or issue him a new passport because of military compulsory service issue.
I want to file I-131 to obtain a reentry permit or a refugee travel document (I don’t know which one is the right one to get) for him because I heard that if you have a green card but no passport, you can get a travel document by filing a I-131 and use it as a passport. However, I have so many questions about this travel document:
1. Should he apply for a Reentry Permit or a Refugee Travel Document? I don’t know if his situation can be qualified as refugee or asylee because I don’t think he is a refugee or asylee unless the USCIS has different definition for these two words.
2. Can a RP be used as a passport to go to other countries?
3. Can he use the RP to get a Chinese visa to go to China?
4. If he goes to other countries, can he come back to the US using his green card and RP without a passport?

最近打算回國返簽H1B，但是突然記得在2006年的F1的身份out of status過。原因是沒有注意到I-20過期了，但是還需要一個學期完成學業。在學校IPO的advisor的幫助下，在I-20過期後的5個月之內申請了reinstatement。期間經曆種種，申請文件被移民局的人搞丟了，但是是在申請寄出的3個月後才知道，然後又重新寄資料到另一個處理中心。這時候離I-20過期已經超過5個月了。最後是通過了。
目前正在準備NIW的申請。讀了I-140 instruction 上的這段話後，不明白是不是現在還需要填ETA-750B，因為現在已經過了March28， 2005 很久了。請PJiang幫解答一下. Thank you!

I had a question about the I485 application. I heard the USCIS will usually send you RFE for employment based I485 before they approve your I485. Even your document is sufficient, they will still send RFE for Employment verification letter(ask you prove sth that you are still hold the similar job 180 days after you filed the I485).

謝謝Pjiang老師的回答。 你的博客文章我又拜讀了一遍，真得很佩服。現在的問題是，還是必須跟律師打交道，律師的理解往往不同，又不能fire他們，因為是學校的律師，學校的人事部門聽律師的。我現在的情況時，8月15號，要去上班，學校剛剛把H1-b申請交上去（沒給辦premium)。之前律師說隻要拿到H-1b的receipt就能上班， 但後來發現我用過AP, 現在是AOS, 律師現在給我的說法是：“ If the H-1B petition is still pending you can use your EAD card for employment purposes. Once your EAD card expires in September, you can then use either your H-1B approval notice or your extended EAD. Either way you are covered."
對不起,我知道我接二連三的發貼...大家都煩了吧,可實在是沒人商量啊...律師出差,根本聯係不上. 一直沒睡覺,睡不著.....東想西想...
問題:
1)如果我OUT of status 並且還在美國,律師可以幫我申請H1B嗎?
2) 因為OUT OF STATUS, H1B 申請被拒的可能性有多大?
附我前麵的發貼,幫大家了解情況. 皮匠真的幫幫忙啊..多謝了..
附貼2
學校不同意我自己填表格.而且那個該簽字的人也不在....(估計不想承擔責任...555)
等他們FILE的時候,我肯定已經OUT OF STATUS 了.
現在我該怎麽辦呢?
Pjiang老師，向您請教一下。我的NIW I-140批準，I-485 pending, 學校的H1-b 有效期到2009年，去年拿到EAD卡和AP(都是2008年9月到期），2007年年底和2008年3月用AP回國和去加拿大。EAD卡從來沒用過。現在要到另外的學校工作，在transfer H1-b，接到學校律師的信這麽說，“ However, I noticed that the last time you traveled, you used your advance parole documents. Once you enter the U.S. with Advance Parole you are technically an adjustment of status applicant and no longer in H-1B status. By filing the H-1B petition on your behalf, this should reinstate your H-1B status but we recommend that you go ahead and extend your EAD as well.”
現在有點迷惑，我用AP回美國後，到底還有沒有H1身份，我一直工作到現在算不算違法工作，我現在需不需要延期我的EAD卡（從來沒有用過EAD)。 我讀了您的文章，很清楚我用了AP之後可以延轉H1-b, 可是還是不清楚，我用了AP回國之後，沒有任何延轉H1-b的行為以前這段時間，我到底是什麽身份，是H1-b 還是AOS? 這段時間對我的身份和485申請有沒有影響，我現在如果不延期我的EAD卡，是否會有風險。羅羅嗦嗦講了這麽多，希望您能明白我的問題。多謝您了！！

Pjiang 老師, 謝謝. 我又仔細的讀了一遍你的文章,的確找到答案了.隻是想確認一下
在requested action中，像我們這種要transfer h1b的應該選

您好。我現在需要作h1-b延期，2007年初遞的perm申請。3年前第一次申請h1-b的時候我的工資還比較低，所以律師換了一個prevailing wage低的computer support specialist給我申請h1-b。綠卡申請的時候則用了我實際的job title是software engineer。現在我作h1-b延期想把job title換成跟綠卡申請一樣的，以避免不一致的情況。但是需要提供公司給的offer letter，是不是應該要公司給我一封新的promotion letter to software engineer with higher salary呢？還有在offer letter的時間上，到底是應該寫2007年初也就是申請perm的時間，還是寫現在的時間？寫現在的時間會不會和perm有衝突？我的resume上是不是也要把兩個job title都按時間列上？申請perm的時候我沒有改h1-b的title，現在我很擔心會在時間上出現不一致的問題。

If you file new I-485, it is costly but simple. Relink I-485 takes efforts as well as time. If you have no issue of multiple A#, your AP/EAD is always good no matter which I-485 it is based on. When filing new I-485, USCIS has no regulation to require you to withdraw existing one.
I guess your wife is still F-1, but you need to read "AOS 簡介" to make sure of it. Also "關於 Multi A# 的問題" may help you.
2。如果我的h4被拒，那麽我現在的身份是485pending呢？還是out of status?因為嚴格來講我遞485時的身份是h4pending.
多謝老師的指點，在下感激不盡！

Because your husband received his GC prior to the marriage with you, there is a long way for you to get GC no matter how. At present time, your husband may only file I-130 for you not I-485, which means you can not apply GC while you're presently in the states unless you don't care to be out of status.
Once I-130 has been filed for you, you are difficult to apply B-2 visa any more.
Another option is that your husband may apply for citizenship in 5 yrs of becoming a PR, then he can get your GC with no waiting.
回複lang2007的評論: You may have your passport stamped I-551 at local USCIS office, and file I-90 for GC.

皮匠老師,你好,我有些問題想問您. 我現在485pending搬家，然後發現很多人因為搬家丟文件，開始擔心綠卡將來會丟掉，然後就困惑，如果有485approval notice但綠卡丟失的人，算是處於那種情況，出入境，工作該怎麽辦，因為原先的身份肯定沒有了，又不算485pending, AP 和EAD 肯定不能用了，手頭又沒有綠卡，聽律師說，移民局又不給補寄。難道真的要重新辦？ 你能不能幫忙分析一下這個問題，這幾天真的很擔心。謝謝您！

Teacher Jiang/Pan, please look at my case and help me to make the best decision.
I have NIW I-485 pending name checking for almost 3 years. I have done everything except for WOM. I have used AP twice in the past year and stayed in China for about 3 months each time. When I go back to China again within a month, I will have to stay for 5 months or so. I believe I can't use my AP to come back (right?), so I plan to submit I-824 for consulate process, and apply for H1 visa when I come back. I thought there is not an approval issue of I-824 in this case and I can just submit and leave, but I was wrong after asking questions at the 移民論壇. I have only about 1 month in the US, but it takes 6 months to process I-824.
1. Before I-824 is approved, can I still use AP to come back in case of an emergency, e.g., a RFE on the I-824?
2. If there is no RFE, are there any other risks on my I-485 if I leave US before I-824 is approved?
3. What will happen if my I-485 is approved before I-824 is approved?
I have to leave, but just want to know if there is still a way to keep my pending I-485 valid.
Thank you very much. I appreciate any opinions you may have.
3. Can I still file the extension after the I-485 denied and/or during MTR?
- extending H-1 is relevant to I-485
(only relevant after 6 year limit, right?). Then after 6 year limit, what is the difference between H1B and EAD? To my understanding, if I-485 denied, both will be invalid immediately.
1. I am now parolee status (not H1B even I can work using H1B) since I paroled in the States.
2. If I extend my H-1B now (can I do it a year before the current one expires?), my status will be changed back to H-1B from parolee immediately after I get the receipt notice?
3. Can I still file the extension after the I-485 denied and/or during MTR?
Sorry for so many questions since it is critical for me now.

Thanks a lot.
I went to Infopass about one month ago. The lady just told me the same information as the online and refused to do anything else.
I called the USCIS yesterday and talked to a real person. She told me to wait for another 60 days for the reply.
Anything else I can do?
Thanks.

Thanks Prof. Pjing. I also post this message on wenxuecity http://web.wenxuecity.com/BBSView.php?SubID=immigration&MsgID=356608
I only used AP to parole in States last year and never used EAD. However, I have been under H-1B status for 5 years and my current H-1B will not expire until next July. It seems like I can't do extension right now. Even I did it, to my understanding, it will be dependent on AOS and not fully separate nonimmigrant anymore.
Right now, if I received I-485 denial notice and filed MTR within 30 days, I would be back to parolee status but not H-1B. Is that right? The only reason now they deny my I-485 is that I didn't response the RFE since I never received the notice. I contacted them a few times and kept the records.
Please comment on these ways below for my case:
1. Wait the notice and prepare MTR.
2. Try to transfer to O-1 (how difficult these days?) or F-1, B-2? Can I do transfer before MTR is approved?
3. File another I-485 since my spouse got I-140 two years ago (can I file another immediately after first one denied?) Is there any tricky thing to be aware of?
Appreciate much. I believe my case will be a very good example for your class!

Thanks a lot Prof. Pjiang for your help. Please see also the reply message in the forum http://web.wenxuecity.com/BBSView.php?SubID=immigration&MsgID=356489
I am not sure if you fully understand my situation. As what I learned from http://www.hooyou.com/advanceparole/h1bv-ap.html that I am now in parolee status and it is dependent on my I-485. Once my I-485 denied I have to file 'motion to reopen' to keep my parolee but not H1B status.Please correct me if I am wrong.
What else can you think of as a back-up during the MTR? My spouse has got green card for 2 years as primary.
Appreciate much your help!

If dependent got approved, that means the principle will be approved shortly due to a delay of technical issue. Since your principle is 12 mos behind, I think your case may have been forgotten by VO at his desk. Goto Infopass.

Hi Teacher Pjing, I have urgent questions about MTR, H1 and parolee.
Now H-1B five years and the H1 status will expire until mid 2008 to reach 6 year limit.
Last year reentered US via AP. Now parolee.
Didn't receive RFE of I-485 for 3 months.
Called USCIS one month later after RFE mailed out. Today, received mail from USCIS saying if still havn't received RFE call them again to ask for resend the RFE.
Contacted Senator's office and was told the I-485 case was forwarded to their clerical unit for abandonment denial.
So questions are if you are still not confused and know something about it:
1. Should I and Can I do extension of my H-1B ASAP for a back-up? When can my status change to H-1B from parolee if I can? After the receipt notice of H1 extension or after approval of it?
2. During the period of 'motion to reopen' if I receive the denial notice, can I still work legally as H-1B? I don't have valid EAD.
3. Please have other suggestions if you have.
Thanks a lot.

You don't have to notify the change of employers.

Teacher Pjiang, if I quit my job after 485 pending more than 180 days. As of today, my 485 has been pending more than 2 years. Within this period, I have changed several employers & have never notified INS about it. What should I tell the VO if they asked me why I did not notify INS about my employer change. Will I get into trouble for my green card because of this? Would you please advise at your convenience? Tks.
