Yes this looks bad, and what we're trying to do with MI will be stomped on to a large extent by this.
The key problem is that it assumes that DHS SAVE system is up to date, and we know how far USCIS gets with data entry.
Also licenses to be marked as temporary.

LOL...similar to yours?( except that you have chargeability:India)
I'm sure you've a valid reason..just could not resist the post.
True...actually I was also thinking about it. But one needs to be wary. A lot of
anti-EB reform people look at these bills and in order to find out the status...post messages in IV and then decide on strategy of whether to call lawmakers.

Hi,
I hope I am posting in the right space and hoping to get some input from people who have been in a similar situation.
My mother is coming from India (Hyderabad) to San francisco . The ticket was booked in India and we were hoping to get a travel companion for her and help her through gate changes, customs and related stuff. When we talked to travel agents they kept postponing until one week before departure (She leaves on 14th). Now they were able to locate one companion until London but after that they split.
Eventhough wheelchair assistance was requested from London and confirmed. I am worried that she never traveled by herself and she wouldn't be able to complete all the forms or answer all the questions or even stand in the right queue by herself at the port of entry in San francisco.
I am sure there will be other passengers from London to San francisco but I want to talk to them before she gets on the plane and not leave to chance and hope somebody helps her. With all the new privacy issues how do we get in touch with Telugu(worst case Hindi) speaking people on the plane from London to San francisco.
I would appreciate your input
Thanks in advance

Friends,
As I had indicated that I had admission to study for MBA in europe starting Sep/Oct 2007, looks like I have to drop it due to the GC process ( entangled)
My last discussion wirh Immi and employer drove the nail in the coffin.
I would appreciate any suggestion fromfolks like you.
Outcome:
I can quit the job and proceed for MBA at my risk ( leave spouse behind in the US in I-485 pending stage). If for example my PD ( July 2002 EB3 india) comes up during my absence in the US and if there is a RFE, my current employer WILL NOT provide a job offer so far into the future ( ie post Sep 2008). the least they said they can do is not pull labor and I-140 ( both approved and I-485 pending for 4 yrs)
Since I am in the Mechanical egnineering field , i dont know who to find , ( unlike adundant software body shoppers present) who will draft an offer in case of RFE.
I have few more weeks before I see this opportunity slip by.
Can anyone guess if the EB3- India PD will move to July 2002 or beyond before September 2008?
Any suggestion./directions will be appreciated... Around me i have no one who has even changed jobs , used AC21 etc.
Thanks for your time
No one can guess on this issue., believe me.......... Dont keep hope that in 1 year ,2 years you will have GC.
Guessing is not allowed in this situation......................

Your lawyer is correct. Since you are from India, you cannot apply for 485 at this time and hence you cannot get an EAD.
You can apply for your 140-NIW and wait for your EB2 PD to become current - whenever that happens.
Alternatively, you can check with your lawyer if you qualify for EB1 - extraordinary ability. In that case, the PD for India is current and you will be eligible for 485 immediately.
though note that for EB1-EA just a PhD alone is not enough. you really need to have shown extraordinary ability in your field (tons of papers published, recognition from intl organizations etc).
Otherwise you need to wait for EB2 to be current, which, if your PD is 2008, could be many years away (latest visa bulletin is at April 2004).

Thanks lazycis for ur time to reply. is it must to fill I-9 form again to use with EAD even for the same employer. My attorney says continue as it is. mm.. confusing..
Btw, one more quesitons, for my son, I-485 status says Application rejected bcoz of incorrect fee (but attorney already sent correct fee !!) and I got I-131 AP for my son. Does that mean, USCIS accepted my sons I-485 application?.
Thanks lot again.

Hello,
I got my EAD through my primary Employer. I am currently working on EAD but with a different Employer (NY State Agency) who doesn�t encourage GC processing, so did not file my AC21 and been working for over a year now. I still have good rapport with my primary Employer. Now I am scheduled to go to INDIA for few weeks, my question is " whom should I say is my Employer " if the immigration officer asks me at the port of entry (JFK). Please advise as I will be carrying my current pay stubs.
Thank you
Tell the truth.AC21 is not mandatory.

I received my Receipts now for I-485.Is there any process to expedite AP while filing .(based on family death). I'm applying for it now.
You can always take an Infopass appointment. I'm not sure if IO really has authority to generate an interim AP. In my case I took Infopass once for address change as it did not happen even after applying online twice.

And any ideas on what will we do with the final list? If it ever gets to include absolutely everything - much of it may even be hidden from us - you never know what goes on inside those Fed buildings!
I think if we have enough data with actual incidents /dates , we can atleast post them on blogs, send them to the director USCIS, send complaint to congress and whereever else we can.

Copy of 485 receipt
Copy Front and back of current EAD
Photos with A# and name in the back (With Pencil/Felt Pen)
Check for 340 Payable to US Department of Homeland Security" (with A#/Name in the memo section) -- Separate checks
Thanks for encouragement,
It's always scary the first time. : )
Re. Check caching - just FYI, now-a-days, they copy the check, convert it to EFT and destroy the original so getting case number from copy may not work.
Also do I write A# on back of photos or something else? Any idea if there are restrictions for using pen or pencil or such?
thanks again,

Hi Dhundhun,
I too have the same issue of not getting any RN nor the checks are cashed. Its been a month now. Today I called USCIS and they told me to wait for another month since no one has touched the application yet.
Thanks for this input. I'd call them around 10th of this month.

To add to what logiclife said, even if you were to apply for a change of status, make sure your friend has been in the US for more than 60 days. If you apply for a change of status to H1B within 60 days of coming here, then it will deemed by USCIS that your intention to travel to US was to find a job and that you committed a fraud when you applied for a B2 which is a tourist visa. So if you apply within 60 days then USCIS will surely reject the application. It is true for almost all visas if you happen to apply for a change of status within 60 days of arriving in US.

I would like to stay in the project through a difference vendor because it is stable for quite long time and I am expecting to be there for next 3 yrs.
I am worried because this Noncompete is between my employer and his next layer. The final layer is client and I will be working for the same client through a NEW vendor.

Somone in the forum said AC21 memo can trigger a RFE, if I was laid off.
So should i take risk to not filing AC-21 or just file AC-21 with the new employment info?
Please advise

I presume her change of status (COS) from H4 to H1 took place automatically when she received her I-797 Approval notice from CIS with an I-94 valid till Oct 2011. Is my presumption correct?
yes
Now, will her next COS i.e. from H1 to H4 take place when she leaves the US and appears for H4 interview based on my current H1's (company B's) 1-797 Approval notice in consulate in India? [
Your wife will be applying for a new H-4 visa, but it's not called a COS. That just applies when a person applies to change status while remaining in the US.
I dont have stamp of my current H1 (company B's) in my passport. I have only the old H1 stamp (company A's) in my passport, which is already expired. I also plan to leave for India for my H1 stamping. Which will be the better approach: she appearing for her H4 interview along with me when I appear for my H1 stamping or she going alone ahead of me for her H4 stamping? Many thanks in advance.
Either is OK. Once you have H-1B status it doesn't matter that you don't have a valid H-1B visa

I'm not sure about about the queston you asked here, but I was wondering you are EB-3(India) 2004, why is USCIS even reviewing your file ?
485 MTR acceptance letter is dated Dec 11, RFE is dated Jan 13, and FP notice date is aboout same(did my first ever FP last Friday). Could the MTR or FP have caused the review of my file? :confused:

This is a little tricky.
A person is in a valid H1-B status when
1) He/She is a full time employee of the Sponsoring company AND
2) Receives regularly scheduled (can be weekly/bi-weekly/monthly) salary from the same sponsoring employer which exceeds the amount mentioned in the LCA filed.
Thus, the H1-B status depends on first, an ongoing and current (a.k.a. valid at given moment) employer-employee relationship that satisfies 1) and 2) above.
#2) above is a criteria for #1) above. The employment (a.k.a. employer-employee relationship) is the primary basis (#1) which is "fulfilled" by the regular salary (#2).
In case of a lay-off, the severance pay is determined by the company policy (BTW company cannot discriminate the severance criteria between H1-Bs and GC/Citizens), so the severance could be given to the "laid-off" employee in subsequent regular paychecks or a lump sum amount, depending on company policies.
But, the very fact that he/she will receive severance (no matter over next few regular paychecks or one time payment), implies the "severed" Employer-Employee relationship, which in turn makes the person "NOT" in a valid H1-B status. However, USCIS will give the person some leeway at their discretion to find a new employer who will sponsor his new H1-B (There is no such thing as H1-B transfer, every H1-B is a new application, it's just that the person will not be counted in the cap if he/she has already been counted)
Therefore, in a lay-off situation, it is always better to start to look for a new job with a new employer that will file H1-B for the laid-off person ASAP. The longer you wait, the more you jeopardize your status.
Hope This Helps.
