@ash what status were you in until the approval?
ash aliJul 9, 2021
@D: i believe it was “ Case was received”
D 180Jul 9, 2021
no I mean while you were waiting to APPLY since 2011
ash aliJul 9, 2021
No status to report as I wasn’t eligible to file AOS. My EAD is tied to AOS. I maintained H1B status all along, even now.
D 180Jul 9, 2021
I see. So your H1B continued to renew past 6 years? How many years have you been on the H1B?
ash aliJul 9, 2021
@D 12yr and counting. a pain for indian filers.
