Below is a step-by-step procedure explaining how your Adjustment of Status case will be processed. You should read this entire process before beginning any of the Steps.

STEP #1:
Please compile the following documentation for yourself and each family member who will be immigrating with you i.e. spouse and children born abroad. You will note that some of these documents may already be in our files, however, we may have received those earlier copies from a variety of sources and are not always able to determine the chain of custody demanded by the 485 process. Therefore we are requesting that you provide all documents listed below. Please mail it at your earliest convenience to the attorney handling your labor certification and immigrant petition case.
a) A copy of all approval notices received from the USCIS
b) A copy of all I-94 cards (received upon entry into the U.S.); I-20's (issued if you were ever in F-1 status in the U.S.); IAAP's (issued if you were ever in J-1 status in the U.S.)

-In order to access the G-325 form you must have "Adobe Acrobat Reader" software. If necessary, you may first download this free software.

MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES IN ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS
COMPARISON OF ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS VERSUS CONSULAR PROCESSING
Adjustment of status is the process whereby a foreign national obtains permanent residence while physically present in the United States. In contrast, consular processing is the procedure for obtaining permanent residence at a United States Consulate outside of the United States. Generally, it is preferable to file your case under the I-485 Adjustment of Status process. If you are interested in having your case filed as a Consular Processing case, please contact the attorney handling your case immediately.
MEMO COMPARING ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS AND CONSULAR PROCESSING
EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION
After a foreign national files the Adjustment of Status application he can continue to work on the basis of his H or L nonimmigrant status assuming that status has not expired. Adjustment of status applicants also have the option of filing for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) either at the time of filing the I-485 or anytime after obtaining the I-485 Receipt Notice. In essence, the applicant needs either the H or L nonimmigrant status or the Employment Authorization Document but does not need both. However, an adjustment applicant with a valid nonimmigrant status may want to obtain an Employment Authorization Document to allow him to work an additional job.
The spouse and children of the adjustment of status employee may obtain an Employment Authorization Document either at the time of filing the I-485 or anytime after obtaining the I-485 Receipt Notice. As such, the spouse and children can work for any employer.
A foreign national can extend his H or L status even after filing the I-485 application.
TRAVEL DURING THE ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS PROCESS
A person may travel after filing the Adjustment of Status application if s/he holds either of the following:
• A valid H or L visa stamp in the passport, or
• Advance Parole authorization
If a person applies for advance parole (either because he does not have a valid H or L visa or simply because he prefers to have advance parole) then the advance parole authorization will be valid for a one year period and will permit multiple entries into the United States.
OUT OF STATUS / UNLAWFUL PRESENCE
If you have been out of status or unlawfully present at any time, it is imperative that you contact your attorney immediately. To do otherwise may jeopardize your continuing status in the United States and/or may prove to be a bar in traveling or adjusting your status to that of Permanent Resident.
I would like to know if the processing of AOS application is based on first come first processed or is it based on the priority dates ?
Please let me know.
Thanks in advance!

My understanding is, while your AOS is pending, you're in parolee status.
You are only a "parolee" if you used Advance Parole to enter the US. Some people don't get AP, or don't use it.

Gurus,
Can some body advise what is the best way to send money to India using SBI online?
Do i have to have an account with SBI? NRE/NRO/Regular
I have an account with State Bank of Bikarner and Jaipur, can i send money from my US account into SBBJ and then to SBI (parents account) ONLINE?
I live in Colorado and hence do not have the luxury of walking into an SBI US branch.
Any advise is appreciated.
Thanks

Situation :
My 485, 765, 131 applications reached USCIS on Aug 17th.
Soon after that moved to a different apartment in the same city. Updated US Post office for redirection of my mails to the new address. However, the address in the USCIS has not been updated.
on Oct 10th got the checks cashed for 485, 765 and 131
The address was updated in USCIS only yesterday (Oct 24).
I haven't got the reciepts yet and need to visit India on Nov 4th.
My questions:
1. Not sure if USCIS has already sent the reciept notices to my previous address. If they were sent to previous address will they be redirected to the new address or they will be returned back to USCIS?
2. Some one mentioned that mails from USCIS will not be redirected but will be returned back to USCIS. Is this true?
3. Approx. how much time it takes to recieve the reciept notice once the checks are encashed? for me it is already 15days over and haven't recieved the reciept notice at my new address.
4. Will the reciept notice be sent to the Applicant and also the Attorney? Or is it just for attorney?
5. Have got the print out the checks cashed with the reciept numbers for 485, 765 and 131. will those be sufficient to carry while travelling as I have not recieved the original reciepts yet. Ofcourse I have a valid H1 visa till 2010.
Appreciate any suggestions

Thank you katrina for your response.
My fear is that if I have an interview, I would fall to pieces and get so nervous to answer questions.
I also wonder if my entries from 1986 will show up when they check the records.
I think you can take your attorney to interview , If at all you have an interview. If you were never out of status since your last entry you should be good BTW whats your PD?

Hi, I recently got a H1B extension stamping in Chennai consulate upto 2010 and I came back to SFO last week. Since my passport is expiring on July 2009. I-94 was issued upto July 2009.
Now my issue is to extend my I-94 upto the validity of H1B visa. I went through similar thread and it says crossing US border to Mexico or Canada will do to get the new I-94. So I am planning to make a trip to Mexico after my passport got renewed to renew I-94. Does it work?. Or do I have to go out of American Continent to get the new I-94. Some thread from (other sites) said, I need to go out American Continent..Is it true?.
Or is there any other way to extend my I-94 without crossing the border?.
Gurus - Please help if you faced any similar situation and sucessfully got your i-94 renewed.
THIS PROCESS IS CALLED DEFERRED INSPECTION - no need to go out of the country
In the below link find the site/airport closest to your current address.
"http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/contacts/deferred_inspection/overview_deferred_inspection.xml"
Call up the phone number in the link and fix an appointment.
Go with Old Passport, new passport and all visa documents and I -94
Explain the situation to the officer and he/she should be able to rectify at the time of appointment.
Officer will put the new date on the existing I -94 and update the system and on the card itself. No new I - 94 will be issued.
Thanks,
Krishna

Can any one tell the time between check cleared and Notice issued. My lawyer sent the checks and he will never bother checking his account daily for me. Hence Notice is the only thing i will get.

I need expert advice -
My I-140 has been approved and I-485 pending for more than 18 months. I have a valid EAD & AP. I also have a valid H1-B visa valid till 2011,
that I am using for my current employment with my current employer
1. If I get laid-off, how long can I stay in US without another job?
With EAD you are okay.
2. I understand that in order to maintain my eligibility to "port" to a new employer / sponsor under AC21, I should have another job in same or similar occupation. Till I find another job, am I allowed to do some part-time job in different occupation?
Answer :- I don't think so. If you are doing a part time job and if USCIS comes to know because of 1099 you may have a problem. I don't think you will have a problem if you accept cash and a evidence you never worked but helped your friend.
3. If new employer gives me the option to move permanently to its subsidiary in another country, what are the available option for me to continue with green card processing?
Answer :- AP is used for emergency. I don't know much but one of IV members went to india and was working for his employer from india.
4. If after going out of the country , I want to come back in future before Green card approval, what will be the available options?
Answer :- Keep renewing your AP and you need to be present in US when AP is been renewed. I am not sure of it. Sorry.

I think we need the limit to go or at least double. I think the best way to make the congress and also the american voters happy is to NOT increase the visa numbers or bring in SKILL bill but to increase the existing 7% limit. This way they will be happy as the same number of ppl are getting PR and we will be happy as the priority dates will move forward.
