I get the drift from the thread that the questioners are Canadian citizens returning to work in Vancouver or Edmonton. If so, would this [u][i]increase[/i][/u] or [u][i]decrease[/i][/u] the risk of US CBP questioning them upon return to U.S, compared to if they were (e.g.) Indian citizens with U.S. ...

I-140 ok'd, not I-485, H1-B expired, no AP yet: Travel ok?
I know this is not kosher, but I wanted to get informal feedback: I'll hold nobody responsible for their advice! My 1-140 was approved on July 31, 2008, but I-485 still not adjudicated. My H1-B will expire in September and my AP will not be ok'd until early 2009. I want to travel to Canada for Chris...

Why is I-766 Employment Authorization Card backdated a year?
Citizenship & Immigration Services e-mailed me 3/31/08 that my card was in the mail. (This is the first card I've had: Have been on H1-B and applied I-140/I-485 in February 2008.) Received card 4/5/08 and it states on it: "Card valid from 03/26/07 expires 03/25/09". Why is it backdated...

I-765 for dependent spouse
I think I know the answer to this but want to be sure. I have H1-B and work; wife has H4 and does not work. My employer applied I-140 for me and I-485/I-765 for me & wife. CIS just e-mailed me informing me to expect I-765s for me & wife within 30 days. Do I understand correctly that my wife,...

I am Canadian working in U.S. for 3 years on TN1 and then H1-B visa. Earn a salary in U.S. on visa. Also earn trivial income from other U.S. parties doing the same thing (writing articles on my subject of expertise). This amounts to less than 1% of my salary income. These parties issue 1099s. I have...

Thanks for the reply, nevertheless. I went ahead and paid the legal fees for my wife's application. In the grand scheme of things, $3,010 is not that big a deal, is it? (My 2007 bonus more than covered it.) Applications submitted on February 25, 2008, and I am EB2, which has no backlog and the lawye...

Cost of green card
OK, the lawyer has given me an invoice of $3010 for the costs of my spouse's application, of which $2000 are his fees and $1010 are the US gov't's processing charges. However, my employer will not tell me how much he's paying for my LPR appllication. (These are for both I-140 and the I-485.) Do you ...

Is DOL Labor Certification portable before I-140/I-485?
OK, here goes: I have an H1-B and employer has applied for green card. Received Labor Certification but employer is holding up submitting I-140 and I-485 (for mismanagement reasons discussed in another thread). I have read Mr. Eiss' website about the AC21 provisions about portability of green card a...

USCIS Processing Times: I don't understand them!
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=NSC is the website for the Nebraska processing center, as of Nov. 14, 2007. Some of the processing times are "30 days" or "two months" but some are dates. For example, the I-140 for advanced degree has a date of March...
