Hi,

She can't work on this status. You have to wait until her i-765 approve from USCIS, it will take mostly 60 days from filing date.

Hi,

My Wife and I filed the I-130, I-485, I-131, I-864, and I-765 last week just before her OPT Visa Status had run out.

We have not received any notification from the USCIS. All we know is that the package was delievered and signed for last Thursday 08.16.12.

She had been working a cpl of Voluteer positions until recently. Now there is a chance that she will be offered a full time position in the next few weeks. Her OPT Status runs out this Friday 08.24.12.

She entered the US on a F1 Visa, Changed that to an OPT Visa on completion of her studies which allowed her to work here legally in her field.

My question is what is her legal status for employment when the OPT ends this week and the AOS petition is in process?

Thank you in advance for your help

Nada

i don't know how long it will take for January AOS 2012???

Hi,

i am thinking to fill up again. Not a big deal to fill up our information again.

Thanks for your reply

From what I have read, YES you must fill out the forms twice because one set from Packet 3 goes to the consulate and the set of forms for packet 4 goes to your local VFS Office. I got the following from the website of the American Consulate in Mumbai:
