Dude,
This had been discussed may be thousands of time and discussion never ends. Do you really need to open a thread for this.

Looks like no one is accepting my apologies :( maybe they will all come to DC and beat me up instead
That means no one was really offended by you. :)
You did well.

I guess, what Mr/Ms Desertfox has mentioned makes clear sense. It is better to have the I-94 with the valid parole stamp, when applying for FAFSA. One can go outside/re-enter and obtain the parolee or Paroled in to US stamp. Please consult with your attorney also, since the full details of your case is known to the attorney. Thanks.

Last week i received a RFE against my I485 application. My PD is not current yet. I''m kind of confused about the RFE. I need some help from you guys...
Check out the RFE letter comment at the following:
"""""USCIS records indicate that you began your employment with compnay A in October 2005. However, the record indicates that the i-129, H1b, granting your authorization to work for company A was not filed until aug, 2006. Submit documentatary evidence that you were authorized to work for compnay A when you began your employment in Oct 2005.""""
Now let me explain my situation.
I had my first H1b from compnay B, for three years (oct 2002 to oct 2005). Then I started my renewed my H1b under another company C. (oct/2005 to oct 2008). Then i received my PERM labor from another company A (the company they USCIS mentioned in their RFE). Both the company C and compnay A was owned by one person. So even i was working with the company C, my payroll was under Company A. Right after I received my labor certificate from Compnay A, my lawyer suggested my transfer my H1b from Compnay C to company A. Then i received my h1b approval for compnay A in Jan 2007 to october 2008. In 0ctober 2008 i renewed my h1b from compnay A again for one year. But in november compnay A terminted me and withdraw my H1b. I got a new job and moved to a new compnay in december 2008. Everything is normal after that until i received the RFE. I have to get back to USCIS in by the end of this month with the evidence. I has the legal status all the time i worked for all those companies.
PLease let me know what you guys think about the whole situation.
Thanks ahead about your concern ......

You will get only ONE STAMPING On your passport and that will be till the end of your 3rd year( Till Second H1 exp. date)
Cheers

How many days did the response delayed?
Is the decision by USCIS being taken before the response was reached?
Or even after recieving the response USCIS has not considered the response. Did they specifically mention in the denial notice that the reason as delayed response?
I guess, this would help analyse the situation

Answer inline in different color
USCIS do call the company, a friend of mine who already got his GC, USCIS called the company in India to confirm the employment.

i am in similar situation for my wife too ... she entered in h4 but is working on EAD now. So, could someone plz let me know wat is her current immigration status ? cos, i don't see a status "EAD" on the dropdown when I try to eFile.
EAD is not a status like H-1 or H-4.
The status should be AOS , pending 485, etc.

This is a common scenario for some IT folks who were here during the downturn from 2001 through 2005 and is not a big deal in your case.
USCIS may or may not check your entire status history. My gut feel is if they have all your W2's during that period and someone takes a closer look at it and sees a discrepancy (if there is one) in terms of actual income and the minumum income based on your H1B annual salary you should have made for that year, then you may have an issue. However, that is not likely and I have not seen cases along those lines yet. If anyone in this forum have come across such a situation, please post and let us know specifics if you can.
In that extreme case, get a hold of a good lawyer if you dont have one and have them craft an appropriate response to the RFE since it is important that the right policy and regulations information is mentioned in the response letter.
Hope that clears it a bit!
Hi,
Thanks a lot for your reply. I really appreciate it.
Well as you said if I went to India after those 5 months(when I was on bench) than that period of 5 months when I was on bench will be wiped out(it will be gone,clean). It means that USCIS will check my status after my last entry in to US!!
OR they may check everything when ever I was in US including when I was on bench(including my first entry into US to till date i.e. From Feb 2005 - Till date)????
I went to India in Nov 2006 & came back, so in that case my old records would be clean. B'cos I was on bench for 5 months in 2005.
Correct me if I am wrong on this.
Also as you said this will come in case of I-485 & USCIS might overlook this & may send RFE!! Any idea how to respond that kind of RFE??
I will really appreciate your response.
Thanks.

Again if your AP is approved but is in mail or whatever and you leave the country then you are ok (technically) in somebody mailing it out to you otherwise you cannot claim to have satisfied the rule USCIS has put forward and the IO has every right to deny entry at the POE
Extract from the instructions of I 131 form
If you travel before the advance parole document is issued, your application will be deemed abandoned if:
A. You depart from the United States; or
B. The person seeking advance parole attempts to enter the United States before a decision is made on the application.
- good luck
kris
Kris,
Yes, you are 100% correct. If one leaves during AP is pending then, at the time of adjudication of the pending AP, the officer can run a query and find that the person has left the U.S. before AP was approved. Then, such AP gets denied because the petition was abandoned . In fact, there was an official memo regarding this some time ago. You can find it under press releases on USCIS website. If, however, the USCIS does not notice that you left and approves AP while you are being outside of the United States, the AP is not valid and upon re-entry CBP may deny entry (if notices). This is why, when applying for AP, one specifies if AP is to be issued to a person who is In US or to a person who is NOT in the U.S. This is needed to satisfy the law. Consequently, it is risky to leave U.S. while AP is pending and not having a visa in a passport.
Regards,

Has anyone applied FAFSA or Stafford loan with Parolee status ? , I am planning to apply for my online degree. I have H1B ,but using AP to reenter.
I had applied for my wife when on parolee status.I guess you would have to been paroled for atleast a year before you can apply.

Can you not get a letter from your church/temple in India?
Mnay people in India have only the church/temple marraige registration. THEN THEY REGISTER THEIR MARRAIGE (MAY BE AFTER FEW YEARS) IN THE SU-REGISTRARS OFFICE.
Such a marriage letter, affidavits and your new US marraige certificate shoudl work fine. If an rfe COMES, YOU MIGHT NEED TO EXPLAIN WHY YOU GOT Married in US agian.
Excerpt from US Embessay
Religious Ceremonies
In India, a religious marriage ceremony is considered a legal marriage. However, for Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and Buddhists, the certificate issued by the temple or gurudwara may not be legally sufficient for all purposes. Rather, members of these religions may seek a formal marriage certificate from the Registrar of Marriages. If one of the parties is a U.S. citizen, the registrar may request a �no objection letter� from the U.S. Embassy or Consulate, and also may request proof of termination of any previous marriages, before a marriage certificate will be issued.
If the parties are married in a Christian, Muslim, Parsi, Jewish, Baha�i or other religious ceremony, the certificate issued by the religious authority (e.g., the church�s marriage certificate, the mosque�s nikah nama, etc.) generally is sufficient proof of marriage, and no certificate from the marriage registrar is necessary.

Thank you so much for a detailed reply.I really appreciate your time to write this. I don't have I-140 approval notice but have a copy of online 140 case status page showing it's approved.. Did use this during my MTR.
I did renew my EAD & AP May24th and AP approved and EAD still under initial review.Hopefully I will get it soon.
One more question.In case of H1B extension denial, has any effort on my pending 485?
Again thanks a lot for your valuable input.
