分享一下我的485 checklist兼一点经验# Immigration - 落地生根

有同学发信问我的485 checklist，说版上mark的都是2011年的，不够新。那我就把我
的list贴一下，其实我的list也是根据置顶帖整理的。希望对大家有所帮助。最后祝大
家绿的顺利。
PS： 好像还有同学问过H1B pending时能不能交485。我的个人经历是能。我的h1b
extension是8月份交上去的，到10月份我要交485的时候还是pending（其实现在还是
pending，不过我已经不care了，嘿嘿）。当时我就根据google来的建议在current
immigration status那一栏填了：pending for H-1B extension approval，并在cover
letter里面付了一段话：
My current status is pending for H-1B extension approval, and the I-797
receipt notice and I-129 petition form for this extension are included in
this package (see below). The previous I-797 approval notice for H-1B is
included as well.
交了之后我还一直在担心USCIS会不会等h1b extension批了之后再处理我的485，结果
证明我的担心是多余的，呵呵。
