I have approved i-140 and I have applied for 3 year extension for my H1-B (I am currently in the sixth year of H1-b). If I switch employers, would I get 3 years on my new H1-B or time left in the sixth year? I am willing to restart the green card process due to stalled immigration reform bill.
As long as:
1) You can provide your new firm a copy of your Approved I-140 and
2) Your first employer does not cancel the I-140
You will get a 3 year extension based on your approved I-140. I know this coz it has happened to me.

Guys, chanduv23 is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!! We stand to lose a lot if we don't stand up for our rights!!
It's easy to let others do the job for you. Does that sound familiar? Don't many of our employers use us on H1 visas that way? Taking advantage of the situation to get more for less or nothing??? ARE YOU GOING TO BEHAVE IN THE SAME MANNER, ESPECIALLY WITH YOUR FELLOW FRIENDS-IN-STRUGGLE, FELLOW IMMIGRANTS???
WAKE UP GUYS! If we keep saying that we need you it is because YOUR PRESENCE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
We look forward to helping anyone who needs any kind of assistance. Unless you had a business trip scheduled, or have a medical emergency. THERE IS NO REASON NOT TO ATTEND!!!
LOOK IN YOUR HEART, RIGHT NOW

Hello,
okay thanks for your replies..let me reiterate my situation.
I have an Indian passport and I recently got my conditional GC (based on marriage to a USC).I am currently on a holiday in Australia .I got my single entry,3month visit visa to Australia,which was stamped across"Not valid for further travel" at the Sydney airport.
Now my concern..I need to visit India in Sep and I was wondering if I could leave for India and return to Australia without having to apply for a visit visa again,now that I have my GC.
Do I need to apply for visitor visa again to enter Australia ,eventhough I have a US GC (which enables anyone travel any country without a visa) and Indian passport.
Please help answer my question....
Thank you
Tina

My H1B extension was filed just one day before my I-485 was sent to NSC last July. I was able to get 3 years extension ...my company paid for premium processing though... I think you should be ok with filing the extension. Talk to your lawyer...
:D
This is not correct. you can apply for 1 year extensions if you have applied for 485 and is pending.

Hi all:
I am a July 2nd filer and I was not married at the time of my green card application. My green card was files under EB2 and my priority date is March 06. I got married in November 07 and got my wife to the US under H4. When the dates became current for March 06, we sent my wife's 485 app in on the 2nd to USCIS. We got a rejection notice this Tuesday (12th) with a notice date of the 4th saying that her "priority date could not be established". My lawyer received the package back today and said that she thinks it was wrongfully rejected and everything was o.k. We were going to resend the application today.
However, I just got an approval email for my I-485 and the online status has been changed to approved too.
What are my options here? Will USCIS accept the application if we sent it in? Does this mean she is out of status?
We are really worried. Has anyone been in this situation? What is the best way to resolve this?
I can honestly say that I never thought I would look at my 485 approval and get depressed.
Thanks.

I am very keen to try and get a state chapter from Indiana. There have to be at least half a dozen of us.
There are millions of Starbucks in the area, maybe we can monopolize a corner in one of them some time.
From what I have read here then most of the replies are in the Indianapolis and northern suburbs, so I am proposing that we meet this Saturday at the Starbucks in Westfield!
By this location I mean where Ashleys furniture is on US 31 and 146th Street.
I can make it any time on Saturday but we have to set on a time, I am suggesting 11am.

If you've got six batteries in it, you're using the AA adapter in the MB-D100, which is notorious for very short life. You should be using the lithium ion batteries instead, which are more reliable. Even though the MB-D100 has space for two of the lithium batteries, you can use it with only one installed. Hope this helps.
Don :)
Thank so much for your reply. However, this was my first attempt with the camera so I used new batteries (six). Nontheless, I will try to change it.
Thanks.

previously when entering on AP, they used to ask for receipt of 485.
so main proof they look for is a valid 'inprogress' 485 appln.
i dont think theyll ask ur wife to show her EAD card at the port of entry.
to be safe, give her a cpy of 485 reciept, a copy of the receipt for the new EAD, and carry the old ead card. i think u shud be fine.
having valid , nonlapsed EAD cards is probably only imp for those who are USING the ead. if ur wife is not working and if her ead arrves few weeks late, it wont matter as long as u have applied for its renewal and have proof of it.
this shud be an easy qn for ur attorney.

Was your wife successful in getting an H1B visa stamped in her passport? If yes, could you please share your experience for the visa stamping interview/documents, etc. Your post will be helpful for some who plan to return on H1B/H4 (including me).
Thanks.
My wife would be travelling to India soon and the question is whether to use AP or go for a H1 visa. She has been working on H1 (but no H1 visa yet) and also has a valid AP. The 485 is pending on my name.
In my understanding if she uses AP in the reentry, her status would change to AOS (Adj of Status) and can stay until the 485 is adjudicated. But if 485 is rejected she would be out of status immediately. We have been told (by my filing attorney) that if she gets a H1 visa this she wouldn't be out of status in case of 485 rejection - she can continue to stay & work on H1.
Is the above correct ? And if 485 gets rejected while on H1 would she be out of status immediately ?
- I heard that the 485 rejection mentions an 'order' to leave the country within x number of days - I was wondering what the implications are if she is on H1 status (having reentered on valid H1 visa earlier) - Does her status still hold good and continue stay and work on H1 ?
- Also at the time of applying for H1 visa what kind of information can be or cannot be shared at the Visa Interview ? just to make sure that the H1 visa doesn't get rejected due to her pending 485
Many Thanks !!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_Nationality_Act_of_1965
Eventually this bill introduced that 7% per country cap
Here is the proof that country cap is racially motivated. I can't believe that Ted Kennedy was behind this.
During debate on the Senate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate) floor, Kennedy, speaking of the effects of the act, said, "First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same.... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset.... Contrary to the charges in some quarters, [the bill] will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and deprived nations of Africa and Asia.... In the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think.... The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs."[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_Nationality_Act_of_1965#cite_note-1) The act's supporters not only claimed the law would not change America's ethnic makeup, but that such a change was not desirable.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_Nationality_Act_of_1965#cite_note-.2770s_268-0)

It should be from the date of approval, but USCIS seem to optimizing the process to make it valid from previous EAD expiry date
see page 2 in the following link
http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/CISOmbudsman_RR_25_EAD_USCIS_Response-06-20-06.pdf
relevant text is reproduced here
Second, the Ombudsman recommended that USCIS issue Employment Authorization
Documents valid as of the date any previoua EAD expires.
USCIS processes a large number of applications for EAbs through a highly productive automated batch processing system, which has significantly decreased EAD processing times and allowed for resources to be devoted to other adjudication tasks, thereby resulting in improved customer service. At present, the validity period on these batch processed EADs begins on the date that the application is approved, not the date that a previous EAD expired.
Abandoning automated batch processing would require USCIS to divert immense resources fromm adjustment applications to the adjudication of interim benefits (i.e., EAD applicati~ns). Although some customers would benefit fiom receiving an EAD that is valid fiom the date their current EAD expires rather than the date their EAD applications are approved, the overall result would be quite negative since it would divert adjudicative resources to interim benefit processing.
Not only would USCIS and its customers be iil-served by such a change in the process, but such a change would run contrary to the Ombudsman's recommendation that USCIS davate more resources to upiiont processing of adjustment applications and less to the processing of interim benefits. USCIS does agree with the Ombudsman that when a customer files a timely renewal application for an EAD, it would be preferable to synchronize the validity dates of new and expiring EADs. USCIS believes that improved productivity through technology and automation is the future of immigration benefit adjudication, and that the batch process is an important step in that direction.
Accordingly, USCIS is assessing the possibilities of integrating synchronization of EAD validity dates into the present batch system. USCIS will keep the Ombudsman apprised of any significant
progress on this front.

This is regarding status, if GC or CITIZEN there should not be any problem. If its H1B visa, then it should have validity. Means H1B visa should not have expired. I heard this story from my brother in law and in fact travel agents know this and they themselves advice on this. Those with expired H1B visa cannot travel through EUROPE. So my brother in law went to India through middle east.
CHECK OUT BASED ON YOUR STATUS.
Thanks

This is not true. If you have AP, no problem. My wife was traveling in Dec-08 with no visa stamp in passport. No body checked for it, either in US or germany and no one asked for any transit visa or even AP.
