Dear Lawyer,
I posted my story in "all other green card issues" I'm sorry I don't know how to link it.
I am married to a US citizen - married since 10/23/04 - we have lived in the US before where I obtained a conditional green card : given 01/17/06 expired 01/17/08. We left the US in may of 07 to live in denmark (my home country) and thought the conditional green card was "gone" when it expired and did not apply to remove conditions in time.
In 2009 we decided to return to the states - I came here 10/16/09 on a visa waiver. In december 09 we filed i130 and in march i485 thinking we had to start over on the process of getting a green card.
April 8th -10 we recieved a denial letter saying:
"A review of agency records indicates that the beneficiary has already aquired lawful permanent resident status on january 17 2006 through other means"
" therefore , the beneficiary is not eligible for the benefit sought and this additional petition is denied"
" This denial will have no adverse effect on the lawful permanent residence status that the beneficiary has previously aquired"
Attached to the letter is an appeal form.
So my query now is: since they already consider me a lawful permanent resident according to that letter - how do I go about getting my green card? and what happens to the i485 that they still have in initial review?
My husband and I are very confused about all this - we were told we had to reapply so we are puzzled about that denial letter. Customer service at uscis only reiterates the content of their website and we cannot get through to anyone that can shed any light on this. Infopass is not available in our area either, so I turned to this forum.
Than you so much for your time in considering this matter and for any information you might have for us.
Sincerely,
A danish citizen :-)

I have an approved I-140 with a priority date of April 2008 (EB2). Unfortunately, my husband's employer did not go through with the GC filing process as promised and his H1B runs out next summer. I had heard that there were cases in which an individual could apply for additional extension based on the spouse's approved I140. Is there any truth to that?

Can anyone tell me after my 6th year of H1 i have a 3 year extension of h1 visa, can i go to india and come back on that visa or do i need to have AP. I got my 140 approved and i got my 485 receipt notices.
you can use the visa, need not use AP if you dont want to. If you have a visa stamping already, using the H1 visa is the preferred way to return:
- you get an I-94 valid for 3 more years (with AP you get one for just one year, which is a bit weird)
- using AP atleast sometimes pushes you into secondary inspection which is another hour spent with the customs and border patrol folks. While they are typically nice and friendly, I personally hate being stuck in that no-mans land at the airport.
Only advantage of AP is if your GC is approved while you are abroad, you are supposed to return on AP as your H1 status would have ended. in practice people have re-entered on H1 in such cases and its been ok. Depending on your PD this may not may not be a concern

My PERM for EB3 has been approved on July 2008. My I-140 is pending. 485 has not been submitted yet. I don't have EAD card either. For some reason, I have to change job.
My question is, if my current employer will not revoke my current I-140 sponsorship, even I have left company, and in case my current I-140 will be approved, can my priority date be carried over?
Bunch of thanks!!
Yes

If I understand correctly, once the I-140 is approved, the PD is fixed. Make sure you have all the details of your privious I-140.
you can take up new FT and once the new I-140 is approved and if EB2 July is current at that time, you can ask USCIS to apply that PD to your new I-140. Also the new I-140 needs to be with same or similar job duties / description.
HTH.

I have an approved i140 from old employer, using which I am planning to file i485 (As PD from old PERM/i140 is current for the month of Aug. & no labor filed for ne employer). As I am in good terms with old employer, they are ready to give me a "future employment letter" for my GC processing.
Can someone please let me know -
1. Format of the letter, details thats needs to be present in it,
2. Anything else I need from the old employer.
Thanks!

The old I-140 is all valid. The only thing that you are taking is the date. When your new I-140 is approved and you interfile with I-485 then you request USCIS to take the new I-140 instead of the old one. Also if your new I-140 has problem at that stage (even after approval, some time it happens), still the old I-140 is valid.
Good luck

One way to deal with the maintenance ugliness, would be to cover it with a foreground object. That way it would feel like the whole bridge was in the picture. Just a thought, not sure how it would turn out.
