If both husband and wife are on EAD and waiting for I485 approval, how does it effect the status of i485 for the spouse of one of them decides to divorce?
If the divorce occurs before the 485 approval, the derivative spouse is no longer entitled to a green card
Work permits and c9 I-765 application - The center recommends applicants and attorneys to follow the current Pre-Order Instructions which points out that applicants should file the renewed I-485 application with the TSC (Texas Service Center) when the form has been denied and renewed by the IJ. This also holds well when the applicant or attorney submits a new Form I-485 application to the IJ.
I have a friend who got his green card recently. His sister in law was the one who applied for the green card which was filed on October 1997. His son was 14 at that time. By the time he got his green card, his son was 22, so the son didnt get the green card. Can my friend's son still get a green card under the Child Status Protection Act, or some other ruling?
Your friend can apply for an unmarried child independently. Application of CSPA requires analysis of specific facts. I suggest your friend should consult an immigration lawyer for that.
What would be derivative's status during the interim between the final divorce and the 485 is adjudicated/denied? Is it true s/he is still on AOS until the 485 is adjudicated?
In my view, the moment of divorce takes away the right to be a derivative and hence also the legal right to have a 485 pending.
I am so much thankful to this Office since they started my case. This Office did my I-140. It is approved and I-485 approved. This Office has taken care of each and every step at all levels with great care without mistake. This office so much helpfull. I am so much thankful to Mathew and Bharathi for their help. I would like to explain how much this office helpfull. I was forced to change the employer to keep my job lost December 2008. I asked this office to file AC-21. They asked me get consent from my previous employer as this office is having agrement with previous employer. Then previous employer did not accept it. Then I consulted other Attorney. They agreed to file my AC21 with G-28 form. My case is transferred to my new Attorney. I got query on my I -485. The query has my new attorney name, they sent it to this office instead of my new attorney. This Office immidately took care and informed by phone and mail irrespective name of attoney on the query letter. I was not in office and I did not see mail. And not replied to mail. Then they called me on cell phone at least 4 times on the same day. Unfortunately my cell phone was not working properly. They left me 4 voice mails. I saw voice mails in the night. This indicates how much this office is helpfull. I always respect quality of work and helping nature. This Office has got every thing to deal cases. Please do not think about fee. I always suggest to go with this office and forget your case. They will take care of you in all aspects. I am gratefull to Mathew and Bharathi. The help is priceless. Thank You.
