Green Card Application
Phew! What a hefty load of documents it requires! Obviously I'm very grateful for this opportunity but if there's any one thing I'm crap at it's filing and it might take me some time to sort this lot out!
Something they're asking for is Documentation of Prior US Immigration Status, ie my Employment Authorization Card. Do I really have to submit this after only just receiving it?!!! I waited almost 3 months for this baby and now have to give it up?!
Anyway, here's to the start of a new journey! Now, where's that bottle of wine....

What form exactly is asking for documentation of prior US Immigration Status?
Your EAD isn't proof of your Immigration Status, anyway.
I don't believe they are asking for any items back, just a photocopy will do.

Re: Green Card Application
It is my husband's company that is sponsoring us - he is on L1 and kids and I on L2.
This is what was in the letter from the solicitors:
" Documentation of Prior U.S. Immigration Status. Please send us all documentation of each applicant’s nonimmigrant status. You should include all Forms I-797, Forms I-20, Forms DS-2019, employment authorization cards, and any other relevant USCIS documents."

They included the EAD in that paragraph, but it's not actually documentation of your status...it only shows you have permission to work in the USA.

I have only ever sent COPIES of anything to the lawyers... I would double check they want originals and question why if they say they do...
It seems reasonable that they want to understand your complete immigration history to ensure there will be no issue with your application (they can avoid), but should only need copies to do this. I have not submitted originals for anything to USCIS (via the lawyers).
