same situation here, never received the EAD and the IO asks us to re apply with the new filing fee of 340$ even for the replacment EAD.
Are you planning to reapply? did you find any way around it? You met the IO, so does it mean u took the infopass appointment for it or just showed up at the office?
Actually, thats another question- do you know whether you can go to USCIS office without an infopass appointment and try to meet an IO?

i agree with crystal. If you are not yet married, i would advice to get married soon. Once if you plan to jump on EAD, it is not easy to come back to H1. If you apply for h1 extension, you have get it stamped..

Whether they IO at Port of Entry asked anything about your H1B Visa?
Nopes, in my case the officer was polite and just asked what my previous status was, to which I said "H1". I asked him if I will lose my H1 status when I enter on AP and he said yes, which was true as your new visa status becomes "Parolee". You can still work on H1 without using EAD, which is what I am doing now.
Its ok and legal to use your AP to travel back. See this recent Murthy Bulletin http://murthy.com/mb_pdf/032108_P.html
I still don't have an answer to my original question, anybody ?

Hi Folks,
I had applied for AOS,EAD and AP for me and my wife on July 2nd.
I got my EAD, Finger Printing Notification, but my wife's application got returned on Aug 30th. I called USCIS after 3 months to find out status on her case and they said it was returned on Aug 30th which we haven't received so far. The reason for rejection was incorrect or missing check.:(
So, can please any one tell me if i can re-apply her case even though i did not get her application back?
Any information on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot

Hi, I am in the same situation. Rejected on 9/11 and they said they mailed it on 9/19 haven't received the packet yet. Please keep me posted.
FYI, you can open a FORMAL Investigation with USCIS if the mailing of rejection notice exceeds more than 30 days. Call USCIS and see what they have to say.

I pay all costs for anything related to GC. One new fees is my lawyer/company are charging $1000 for preparation of application for adjustment of status on expedited basis during July 2007. This is in addition to the legal fees $1500 for 485, $500 for EAD and $ 400 for Advance parole. I am paying around $8000 for me and 2 dependents for 485/EAD/AP.

RFE means Request For Evidence. For an H-1 to be pending for more than 8 months without an RFE is a bit unusual.
Could you provide a brief chronology of your work history with exact dates so that I can get a clearer idea of whether USCIS is likely to find that you were/are out of legal status?
Here are the details for my case
* � I graduated in Dec. 2007.
* � My OPT has started on December, 2007 (expires on December, 2008).
* � My previous company (A) applied for an H1B for me which starts from October 1st, 2008.
* � I received Notice of H1B approval. (I797A Notice Date June, 2008).
* � H1B is valid from 10/01/2008 to 10/01/2011.
* � I lost my job with Company A on September 18th, 2008.
* � USCIS, Vermont Center received my H1B withdrawal letter from Company A on September 24th, 2008.
* � I requested Company B to transfer my H1B.
* � USCIS received my petition for a transfer on October 28th, 2008.
* � My Transfer petition was pending with company B
Recently I moved to another job with Company C that I mentioned in my earlier post. They sent my H1B transfer application in June 2009.
Thank You, Please let me know if you have any questions.

Admin2 - thank u much for your motivation. I do understand IV is doing great work but if you can shed some light on whats going on behind the scenes, it you really help me decide on many things. One of the thing, my lawyer is recommending is to initiate porting to EB-2 which I understand may take anywhere around 18 mnths if all goes well...
If they can be shared with everyone, I am sure they would. But, if I were you and have an option to port to EB2, I 'd probably do that.
If porting going to cost you,you may want to wait till Jan , which is only 3 months away.

The Problem is my employer is not sharing this information with me.I want to make decision of moving the employer only if i know that my 140 is approved. My fear is that my employer may tell me that 140 is still pending even if it is approved.

Like the intiator in this thread came up with some job/occupation codes which starts with 15 - XXXX ..he talked abt getting it from the approved Labor
I have access to my approved Labor and I-140...but where can I find these codes in those documents?

thanks! i do have business activities... and i am not worried about audits...
If you are independent contractor you can take some allowed expenses. If you are salaried employee you need to show loss for getting some benefit. Generally if you show loss for 3 years continously then IRS mostly deny on third year. In any case if you take too much expense you are inviting audit and that is going to be nightmare. I do not think it is a good idea to start a company just for expenses unless you are going to do business. Atleast you should be doing independent contracting(corp to Corp).
