Case Processing
H1B grace period
My employer applied for an H1B extension from 07/01/2025 to 10/31/2025. It was regular processing and my employment ended on Oct 31st while petition was still pending. My receipt notice said I am authorized to work till 10/31.
I want to know that am I on a 2 months grace period now? If another employer offer me an H1B, can they do portability of my H1B?
I am on my I485 pending AOS. I want yo know which status I am at? Any suggestion?

I-130 Returned back to USCIS
Hi friends. I had interview about 5 months back for both 130 and 485. My I-130 was approved but mistakenly send to the NVC meanwhile I am adjusting status within the US. After several months on calling and requests, I was emailed last week by NVC saying they have sent it back to USCIS for administrative action.
Has anyone gone through this same issue before?
How long will USCIS take to continue working on it?
Since I had interview already 5 months ago, should I just be waiting on a decision or I will still have to go under review?
please advice.
Thanks.

EAD Hardship Question and Unfair Processing Times
Hi everyone. I have an approved EB1A, ROW, current PD, etc.
I applied for i-485 and EAD in March. Biometrics in April. I still haven't even gotten my EAD.
My STEM OPT expires on January 8th and I am freaking out. Many people who applied months after me have already been approved, like those who applied in August and September. And I know there are people who applied before me who still haven't been approved.
Why are processing times random like this? It's so unfair. Do they not realize that people have been waiting almost a year while they process people whose cases were submitted weeks ago?
Sincere question, if you can answer it -->
Do they not take into consideration someone's legal status, such as when it expires and when their current work authorization expires??!
The earliest I can inquire is December 5th! If I do a "financial hardship" thing, would it work?
I feel like those who live near big field offices will always be delayed as they have a higher chance of getting interviewed so it goes to those big local FO, like mine at San Antonio. People who live in or near these major hubs will be waiting quite some time because those small non-local ones have faster processing times. Just my two cents.
questions
Anyone who filed in February for i485 after Vawa approval seeing any movement.
I received another receipt notice yesterday with Texas SCOPS address on there. I filed at Nebraska got transferred notice to Vermont now another receipt notice with Texas.
What does this mean?
Am so confused
I also noticed from this app that persons who are being approved for i485 are those who filed together in 2021 and 2022 with an approval for Vawa from last year.
anyone with a Vawa approval from last year but filed their i485 this year got any approval?
