I am current from 02/01. But
I am current from 02/01. But my I-485 application has been sent on Jan,30th and USCIS received on Jan31st. Now my question is.. will USCIS return my application? If so how many days will it take? Can I resubmit same application with same checks?
I am current from 02/01. But
Any applications received before PD is current can be returned. I think you should get on the phone with the customer service.

I-485 filing date question
Great info! I find this forum to be very useful and users replies are much more meaningful than any other forums.
I have a question regarding my I-485 application. My Priority date is current in January (2012). I had to wait a bit for my Birth Certificate to arrive and my application is being sent today. So the USCIS will receive it tomorrow morning. (Feb 1st 2012)
Is it OK? I am so worried and stressed about this. I would greatly appreciate your response.
Thanks,
L
I-485 filing date question
No need to stress. In the month your PD is current, USCIS will accept your application on any day that month (or the following months, if PD stays current).

I-730 Issue
I have filed family petition I-730 before 9 month ago but 5 days ago I got a letter from USCIS saying “either you or the beneficiary of this petition appears to be inadmissible pursuant to the terrorist-related grounds of inadmissibility under section 212 (a)(3)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)., I am so shocked because I always in against of any kinds of violence and terrorist activities.
Now, what to do? I don't have any Idea. Do you think, this kind of case will approve soon or not. Is there any legal process that I can follow to get the approved? Is the “waiver” process is effective or not? Now if it is in hold, is that mean the “indefinite hold”?
I-730 Issue
I would strongly recommend you retain competent counsel locally where you are.

Change in basis for EAD
My wife is about to receive her J1 visa and me a J2. I intend to file for EAD as soon as we receive these and my wife will file for self-sponsored NIW (we're currently here under H1B and H4 - these are up for renewal but we're switching to J instead). What happens to my EAD and our right to remain in the US if my wife's J1 expires (or she leaves her job) after she has submitted the NIW application? Does the NIW application by itself allow us to remain in the US if filed while still under J status, and can I continue to work using the same EAD? Many thanks.

EAD and AP - with Contract Jobs
I am on EAD and my I-485 is pending almost about 4 years, i was working on a full time position, but now i am on a Independent Contracting job (W9 and filling 1099), Since i have Valid AP, are there any problem if i travel Internationally (may be 2 or 3 times a year), Can i say that i am on a Contracting jobs and later find a full time position when i re-enter? For the most part i am planning on working as a contractor and fill 1099, my onlce concern is that if they ask full time employer, i am not sure if it becomes an issue, if i say i am working as a contractor.
EAD and AP - with Contract Jobs
Your situation should be discussed with your lawyer in detail. There are no second chances in AOS.

I filed through EB1 category
I filed through EB1 category and now I-485 is very much less than 180 days. I am facing a potential layoff. I have two questions.
1. Incase I get my EAD soon can I switch employers before 180 days without my I-485 being affected.
2. If I get my GC approved and then switch jobs rightaway will it be a problem? Because I have seen on many forums that for employment based GCs, person needs to continue for at least 6-12 months after GC approval. My employer may be in bankruptcy mode and even if they don't layoff me it will be difficult for me to continue with them with future unknown
