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...

Can my employer submit my I-140 & I-485 and not wife's?
As noted above, my employer's lawyer has prepared all the green card application paperwork , for me and my wife, including a I-134 Affidavit of Support for my notarized signature. (I have the LC and she is my dependent.) Then my employer decided to present me a bill of $3010 for my wife's share of t...
