I think once you are in AOS pending , I-94 will not come into play.....
It will be great if IV can collect all these questions and submit to USICS for a complete FAQ on their website.

In re: All Immigration Matters on behalf of XYZ
Is it okay to sign on something like this? Or am I giving away permission for much more than they need, without knowing!
Hopefully it is okay to give a permission for "all immigration matters" but wanted to double check, just in case!
My attorney had the same text in my G28, I asked him the same question. It is fine, nothing to worry about.

Dear Fellow Posters
After 12 months of toil I have finally completed the narrative and evidence that I need for an EB-1a (Extraordinary Alien) application. I ab about to complete the I-140 paperwork to go with it.
My questions is this - I have contacted a small number of Immigration attorneys who have quoted me approx $6000 for the whole process. How many of you value think that USCIS would look at my application more favourably if I used a reputed attorney rathen than putting in my own application and paperwork ?
Thanks in anticpation of your replies

AILA provided a very important update from the State Department, we wish to share with our readers.
The Department of State has issued comprehensive new policy guidance on the use of DNA testing in the visa application process. This new guidance is set forth in a new set of extensive Notes to 9 FAM 42.44.
In this new guidance, the State Department declares DNA technology to be the only acceptable non-documentary method for proving a biological relationship. The preferred specimen collection technique for DNA testing is by buccal (cheek or mouth cavity) swab.
According to the Department, DNA testing is expensive, complex and time consuming and thus should be recommended only if no other credible proof of the claimed relationship exists. Consular officers should treat DNA testing as a last resort: all other possible methods for confirming the existence of a biological relationship must be exhausted before recommending this course of action. Even then, DNA testing may only be recommended, but never required by the consular officer.
Consular officers may recommend DNA testing solely to prove a relationship; they may never recommend DNA testing in an attempt to disprove a relationship. Only DNA test results reporting a 99.5 percent or greater degree of certainty as proof of a biological relationship between a parent and child may be accepted in visa cases.
The Department clarifies that consular officers adjudicating Form I-130 Alien Relative petitions (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1132137.html)are not authorized to approve the petition if DNA test results are the sole evidence of the claimed biological relationship. Such cases are not "clearly approvable" per the provisions of 9 FAM 42.41 N4.2-3; accordingly, they must be forwarded to USCIS for adjudication. Parenthetically, USCIS is authorized to approve I-130 petitions supported solely on DNA testing.

I think you should get it extended. Its a back up for your EAD if you are working in the same company. It does not affect your current 485 process.

One of my friend is in the same situation and he has been told by his lawyer that he can get his part-time concurrent H1 Extn for 3 years based on fulltime concurrent H1 approved I-140.
He is going to apply the same soon.
Good Luck!
Thank you very much for the quick response. Do you think I can talk to your friend for further details?

To all IV members and the core team:
Thanks a bunch for mobilizing members to get their voices heard - first at the historic San Jose rally of high-skilled legal immigrants, and now with this monumental effort in DC on September 18th.
Thanks to all your efforts (myself included), we were able to file for Adjustment of Status (AOS), EAD and AP in July, and had the extension till August 17th to file it for those of us who couldn't do it sooner.
Thanks also to the lawmaker(s), and others who voiced their opinions and drew attention to the plight of highly educated, skilled, tax-paying, brilliant, and entrepreneurial folks, waiting for their GCs for as long as a decade.
We finally received our EADs yesterday, and our APs have been approved (awaiting notices).
The road from here to finally becoming permanent residents and perhaps eventually citizens of this great country (for those of us who wish to) is a long, winding one, full of tricky situations, significant risks, and the inevitable delays by the agencies concerned.
We all need to collectively make our voices heard, tell the lawmakers, the media, and the world about our lives that we continue living in limbo, and will be forced to do so for a long long time if we don't act.
I WILL ENTHUSIASTICALLY JOIN THE DC RALLY NEXT WEEK.

Hi,
I am trying to find health insurance for my spouse who is in H4 visa.
Could you please let me know if I can buy the health insurance only for her? Is there some law which states H1B visa holder also needs to buy the health insurance along with the spouse?
BTW, I am living in NJ.
Appreciate, your inputs and pointers on this issue.
Thanks,
I guess the new law requires you to have a health insurance...please check the new law which came into effect last week.

InThemoment is right. I got I-134 from my attorney for 485 filing..
Oldmonk,
That is good information, thanks. Just one question:
- Was the I-134 part of your I-485 application, or was it part of your dependent's?
I am asking this because there is no instruction regarding such an affidavit in the Initial evidence section of the I-485.
Thanks, will appreciate your response.

USCIS is all about balancing work...they are being forced to accept butt-load of AOS application, and they shift the balance this way....
Also they will take months or even years to send back receipts EADs etc...wait n watch....we made them swallow the tought pill, and they will make the same pill stuck in our throat for eternity now.....

Hi Guys,
I was reading another thread and a question came to my mind..
I entered in US on AP and got the I-94 with the validity date as my AP date. Now my AP is going to expire and I am not going to travel anywhere any time this year. So just wondering what will happen when the I-94 is expired. Do I have to get it renewed from somewhere or just dun worry about it. or do I have to apply for a new AP.
Can anyone can shed some light on this situation?
If your AP expires, renew it. Dont worry about I-94
