No one can guarantee you what you will be asked for. Take everything that you normally need. Legally company MUST give you pay stubs in some form (electronic or paper) if they have paid you. What is the reason for not generating pay stubs if you have worked there after I-797 approval notice or even just after filing? Visa stamp on passport is not required.

I have received an RFE on my I-485 application to provide a copy of birth certificate. However, I have submitted the birth certificate and affidavits from my parents when I filed for I-485.
I am from India. Since the name is put after few months of birth, my name is not present in the birth certificate. I am not sure if the RFE is due to this. But all the (or most) people from India would be in the same zone, right (not having name in birth certificate) ?
Is anyone in the same situation as me ? What kind of documents have you submitted for the birth certificate requirement ?
Here is my RFE
==========
The documentation submitted is not sufficient to warrant favorable consideration of your petetion/application.
....
Submit a copy of your birth certificate showing your parentage, which has been registered with the proper civil authorities of the country of your birth.
You said, you have a birth certificate without name. I guess, you can apply to local birth certificate issuing agency and get a new one with name. If the birth is registered properly (in your case, it is as you have the certificate), it seems possible.

$930 plus a biometrics fee of $80; the fee total is $1,010. Exceptions listed below. There is no fee for applicants who are filing Form I-485 based on having been admitted to the United States as a refugee. Applicants 80 years of age or older are not charged a biometric fee; the fee total is $930. Applicants under 14 years of age: - Filing with the I-485 application of at least one parent have a fee total of $600 - Not filing with the I-485 application of at least one parent have a fee total of $930
I would assume that EAD and AP have to be paid for separately.
see the last paragraph. Looks like the new fee is a combined fee.

copsmart: Take an infopass appointment and explain your situation to infopass officer, s/he will be able to guide you. I personally think, you will have to refile your EAD and AP with strong cover letter, and remember to write DO NOT OPEN IN MAIL ROOM. It might have been the reason, why your last refiling might have been returned by USCIS mail room contractors. Do an infopass appointment before you resend your file.

While its true, a cousin of my mine applied when PD was not current and got her EAD while her husbands 485 was pending (still pending)
Now, its a different issue that she/he get RFE whenever they apply for EAD renewal and once had to do a MTR.
I can only guess that if the adjudicator checks the date of application before approving the 485, they might be in trouble!

Hi Everyone,
I will be laid off from an american company by the end of Feb 2009. I spoke to my previous desi employee as my H1b with his company is still valid and he din't revoked it until now
But he agrees to let me join his company but at the same time he worried about few things
Q1) I was with him for 6 months of 2008 and moved to an American Company so the total pay in the W2 for year 2008 is less than LCA amount.
Would that be a problem as i din't work with him for an entire year in which case it is bound to be less than LCA amount..
Mind you i'm looking at the Yearly wage if you look at month wise it is much higher than mentioned in LCA.
Would that be of any problem to both me and employeer.
Q2) He also said that when somebody re hires any one , the employeer is liable to pay back wages for the period of time he was out.
It sounds illogical atleast to me because he didn't terminate me from the job it was me who quit the job and transferred my H1b on a good note , but there is no official document saying i quit the job or he terminated me ....
I would appreciate if some could throw some light on this ....
My future is relied on these issues
Thanks

They are increasing the fees only for the other apllications. I-485 and the related ones will maintain the same fees until August 17th. I think it says so on the announcement from USCIs.
All other forms except i-485 the fee increase will be effective from july 30th and i-485 will get increased post August 17th:)

I have lost almost 3 months here. Is it normal or a special case that i need to call USCIS?
Please advise.

Hello,
I am on h1b visa (approved & stamped) and its expiring this Oct'10 (I-94 also expiring in Oct) and due for an extension but here's my problem.
Company A filed my petition in a wrong way in 2007 by showing the job title as "mechanical engineering position" though i was working as Analyst in IT. So if company A files my extension now how likely are my chances of getting my extension approved? as there was no amendment submitted by A for a change in my job title. The below are my options so would really appreciate if you all can suggest and share your thoughts?
1. Go for a H1B extension from Company A itself and if RFE/Denied, can i then proceed with a H1B transfer from Company B? Confused here in figuring out that if my extension is denied will i loose my status and am i eligible to file a new petition as a transfer from Company B?
2. Or directly go for a H1B transfer from a new Company B, this way will i have lesser risk in getting rejected?

I thought I would post on how I resolved my expired I-94 issue today. Could be of help to someone.
I have an I797 and corresponding H1-B visa valid until March 31st 2011.
When I last came into the US on Dec 31st 2009, the immigration officer stamped the I-94 valid until date as March 30th 2010. Essentially giving me only three months of stay.
I did not notice the problem (coming in after a long flight and being jet lagged didn't help) until yesterday when my attorney was going through my documents for some other purpose. As of yesterday I had been out of status for over 3months.
We called the CBP office at Pittsburgh Airport (where i reside) and explained the situation to them. They asked my visa validity date and passport validity date on the phone. After which I was asked to go the the CBP office and get it corrected.
Today morning I headed over there and was met with the most friendly immigration officers I have ever met. Pittsburgh rocks in that. When he heard my case, he asked me if I had presented my latest I-797 to the officer at the time of stamping. When I replied yes, he said it did not make sense why the officer stamped the date he did. He asked to see my passport and I-797 and in 10 minutes told me he would be issuing me a new I-94 with the correct stamped date as March 31st 2011.
Afterwards he mentioned that it was expired and I was lucky because some other officer could have asked me to do a reinstatement (something that apparently costs a lot of money and a lot more trouble according to him)
In my case it was a genuine mistake on the immigration officer's part, since all my documents at the time of the samping indicated a later date. IMO that was the critical factor.
However, as he advised, please be extra sure before you step away from the counter at port of entry, that all your stamps are correct.
Good luck for anyone facing this problem, if you have the valid documents the officers are most probably going to correct the mistake and not give you a hard time about it.:)

There is a possibility in cases of where job requires minimum GPA . 140 adjudicator can always ask petitioner that the benificiary meets all the requirements for the position offered. In substitution cases there is always a possibility of things getting verified in a microscope.
