Yes, that is not only possible, but safer than using EAD. If your I-485 is denied for whatever reason, you still have H1-B with which to keep working. Once you use EAD, you lose H1-B status, and if I-485 is denied, you are out of status and must leave the country immediately.

I hope USCIS comes with premium processing of EAD. Or they should come with i-485 premium processing so that AP and EAD can be issued withing 15 days or something.
That way they can make some money over this flood of applications and I am sure many of us want EAD badly for our spouse because they have job secured.

I had written 2 long posts in the past detailing my own views on how to hire an attorney and how to deal with them when you hire them. You may want to go through them in the threads. If someone can dig them we can try to create a thread dedicated on 'advice when you hire an attorney'. I have myself seen enough bad attorneys (both big and small firrms) and the posts were written based on my experiences and experiences of my friends.

Thanks Dhudhun, your thread was very helpful. Created this one so we could just focus on the Supporting documents for eFile EAD. (USCIS site does not talk about it at all).

I travelled to India first time after coming to USA. The airline people did not take my I94 from me. I was not aware if I had to turn it in. I came back and got another I94. Now what do I do with my old I94? My 140/485 is in progress.
Same thing happend with me too. I gave them, they said they don;t want.
I tried to give evey point of my transit, nobody took it.
Don't know how to handle.

Hello,
My wife got her H1B approved last year and her start date was 10/01/07. She started working towards the end of Nov. She did not get any paychecks for 2007 before Dec 31st and started getting paid only in 2008. So she did not receive a W2 for 2007. I am about to file my tax for 2007 (had filed an extension) and would like to know the following.
1: I assume this should not impact me from filing a joint return. Am I right ?
2: Would I qualify for the stimulus check for $1200 since both of us were employed in 2007 ? Since she did not get a W2, I was not sure if I would get only $600.
3: Both of us have filed for I-485 and our applications are pending approval. Would there be any problem with her I-485 in the future (like any query) since in 2007, her status was converted to H1B (from H4) and she did not get a W2 ? I am being told USCIS does a complete background check on the applicant with respect to each status he/she has had.
Thanks in advance.

Income earned thru rent is considered as Un-Earned Income. All the un-earned income (i.e. that you get by not working) is not subject to social security taxes. But any income earned(working or stocks gain, house rent etc.,) is always considered as Income. Income( i.e. Earned or Un-earned) is always subject to tax as per IRS.
So many people who work for themselves (home based company owners) will write check themselves(company name to personal). So that when filing taxes, company taxes are tax deductible) and self income taxes are not subject to social security and Medicare taxes which is a good amount to save.
My 2 cents. This is best according to my knowledge. Consult a tax professional for accurate info.

The person should be eligible for H-1B (even if 6 years are complete) as he/she has I-140 pending or approved. If I-140 is pending, then H-1B can be filed for 1 year extension, if I-140 is approved then H-1B extension can be upto 3 years.
My 2 cents.
Yes, she should be able to extend, but we don't know all the facts so cannot say for sure, especially if the former employer withdraws the I-140.

gimme_GC2006,
I used my AP twice via JFK. Both times sent to secondary. No questions asked, just had to wait an extra 90 minutes due to people in front of me and was given my passport with the I94 back.
so nothing to fear.
ok..cool..thanks !!
Hopefully mine will also be cool. :)

looks like she found out that the higher fees were only going to be used to hike the salary of executives at USCIS and not for increasing their efficiency....

I still no access to the donor forums for me. I've already sent 3 emails per the thread above. Is it really such a big deal to grant access to donor forum??

I had sent you a private message yesterday. .
Without verification we cannot give access to anyone.
Anu has been out sick and will not be doing verification for next couple of months. Myself and other team members will handle this task in our spare time from other IV work and there could be delays. However we will try to have the delay only for 15 days at the most.
Ryan, Thanks for responding to the PM.

it is good if you can save some money. Make sure the print quality is good and meets the specifications.
We had our passport photos taken from Walgreens to file for AP. USCIS sent me an RFE requesting photos. I was not sure what was wrong the first time. I got the next set of photos done from the postoffice.
We did not take any shortcuts but still got an RFE for photos.
All i am saying is make sure you have good quality photos that meet the specs when you try doing it yourself.

As per suggestion by members of the forum, I am planning on using a good attorney to file my appeal.
The new attorney for my company is 'Law Offices of Slowik & Robinson LLC' (http://www.s-r-law.com/) based in Columbus, OH and is supposedly very reputable and well known.
If you guys have heard of them or know about them, please drop a few lines here. This will help me make a decision as to stay with the new company attorney or go to much bigger firms like Murthy LLC.
Thanks.
Regardless of the attorney you employ, it is important to ensure you are completely clued in and has visibility into the process. Its even more important in the situation you are in.
You should be completely versed with your case, options available, reperucssions.. everything. Only then you can have meaningful conversation with attorney about your concerns.
It is very difficult with para legals not providing timely information, neverthless you should look for firm that treats clilents with respect.
