My I-94 is expiring in a month. I have used Advance parole to enter US after a vacation about a year back. How do I renew my I-94 card? Does anybody know...
Even though you entered using AP, you might be able to extend your nonimmigrant status. As the prior answer says, this is not necessary but many employees like to have it in case the AOS is denied for any reason.
It is also useful because if your EAD expires and you have not received a new one, you cannot work even if a new application is pending. On the other hand, if your H-1B (for example) has expired but the company timely filed an extension, you can keep working while the extension is pending.

You can apply for SSN now. You don't need a job to get SSN because you have EAD.

Has anyone recently used AP to enter the US from San Francisco, CA?
I would appreciate if you can please share your experience and the documents you carried (showed) at the POE.

Fellow IVians:
Background:
We are one EAD/AP. (may not matter in this scenario but still mentioning)
My daughter is a US born Citizen and she is under 2 years old with a valid Indian VISA.
She has been living in India with her Grand Parents for the past one year.
She will be travelling to the US accompanied by her uncle & Aunt who are returning to USA at the end of their vacation.
Question:
Since both parents are not accompanying the infant is there some documentation needed?
Has anyone done this before? Can you please post your experiences and suggestions?
I will be preparing a notarized letter of consent along with her Birth Certificate...is there anything else?
Any information will be sincerely appreciated
Thanks, Mattresscoil!!

Hi-
My H1-B expires in August 2011. My I-94 was stamped only until May 20, 2011 because my passport was expiring early. Now I have a new passport.
In March 2011, I also applied for a renewal of my Advance Parole(AP) and EAD and they are still pending approval.
I am planning on travelling to Canada next week by road(through Detroit) to get my I-94 renewed. So If I travel to Canada, will my AP application be considered abandoned?
Also, can I just cross into Canada by road, wait for a couple of hours and come back into the US to get a new I-94. I know usually you don't surrender your I-94 when visiting Canada for less of 30 days.
I am hoping I would be able tell the Canadian/US immigration officer that I need a new I-94 and hopefully surrender my older I-94 and get a new one when coming back in. Please let me know if thats not possible and I need to fly to Canada to get a new I-94.
Thanks
You may try going to the nearest CBP office. We had the similar situation (except our visa on the passport was expired) and visited nearest 3 CBP offices. Two offices said that since it is not CBP's fault you have to extend the validity of I-94 via I-539 but the third office issued a new I-94 without asking any questions.
Technically they only fix the errors made by their officers but they can do it if they want.
Since you have a valid visa on your passport so you have an option to go out of country and come back with new I-94 or you may try visiting CBP office.
If you plan to visit CBP office, use the word error not correction- just staple both passport together and hand over along with I94 and I797 and point them to the date of I94 vs I797 and let them interpret.

Hello All,
I am on 7th year of my H1 and my I-140 is pending. Since my current H1 is about to expire, I need to file for my 8th year of H1 extension. Do you think there could be some problem in getting my 8th year extension since my labor is approved and I-140 is pending. The way I interpreted the extension rule is that you can only get the extension if your labor is pending for more than 1 year but in my case my labor is approved and I-140 is pending.And I cannot wait for I-140 approval since my current H1 is about to expire.
Please advise.
Thanks
Please find attached herewith a memo from USCIS that answers your question. Not sure if the attachment upload worked but here is the link just in case...
http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/AC21Intrm122705.pdf
Since you are already on your eight yr H1 extn obviously you Labor certification is more than one year old (based on which you received your 7th yr extn).
When does your current I-129 expire? The reason I ask is that if you have some time you can convert your pending I-140 to premium processing and get it turned around in 15 days (provided there is no problem with your company financial statement ). Once you have an approved I-140 you can then request 3 year H1 extn.
As your case stands right now (approved labor & pending I-140) my read is that you are eligible for 1 year extn. The $1000 spent on I-140 premium processing with definitely pay dividends with a 3 Year H1 extn.
Hope I answered your question....

Consult immigration lawyer and try to keep the time out of status to a minimum. Do not try to take chances, times are tough and everything is being looked through when it comes to immigration. Wish you luck friend!

If you get one consolidated paycheck and W-2, you're fine. Otherwise, you will have a tough time explaining multiple paychecks and W-2s to the immigration officer when you go for visa stamping or when entering the country.

Sorry folks did not get to update this discussion as things have dramatically changed in past couple of months
On January 15th the online status Changed to "Approval Notice sent", :D We waited a week and my company and lawyers received each a copy of the approval notices.
No idea what was the catalyst behind the U-turn from the USCIS (please note we still have not received the RFE response from USCIS) weather it was the Lawyers letters,1-800 calls, infopass visit or AILA intervention.
Call it the luck / divine intervention I am so lucky this step being cleared now just have to wait for the final 485 stage to clear
I just hope others do not go through the same harrowing story as mine.
That said USCIS was and is a big black hole :mad:, any information requested is swallowed and no response will be provided, just hope for the best and be patient

My wife is not on AOS status, she's only H4, what I am asking about here, if I used AP would this void her H4? Because as far as I understand, her H4 status will only be void if I used my EAD not AP
