Get your wife to use EAD (and hold off on H1 transfer) and wait for your GC card. Many congratulations to you and have a great future ahead..

New company lawer is not accepting EAD, even though we don't have written approval confiramtion

How to conivince him to use EAD unti we got the phisical card?

Mine got approved in 6 months....Receipt Date - 7/5/2006: approval date 1/4/2007

My I-140 was approved 2 yrs back. I have more time on H1 like ..2 more yrs.

I'm planning to use my EAD or do H1 transfer. So far I have good relations with my employer.If I speak to my employer about my plans will he be able to hurt my case like thru I140 or any otherway?

After I switch jobs will I be able to go back to my old employer if I would want to .
Appreciate it if you can help me on this.

Thank you.

Even if your employer revokes (unlikely as he will have to bear legal expenses on an issue that he cannot win) your 140, it will have no effect. All you have to do is be ready with your new offer letter and maintain the labor wages in your new employment. In previous years desi companies used to reuse the labor by revoking the 140 once an employee quits. Now labor reuse also has been plugged by USCIS. You can peacefully go ahead and change your employment.

Any reason that you want to go back to your old employer? Why quit in the first place than...

My wife was on H4 earlier and then she coverted her visa into F1 (student). She got I 20 form from school with her, But She doesn't have F1 stamp on her Indian Passport. She got 2 hour halt in Paris.
Does she need French transit visa ??

Your wife might have a problem in leaving US with expired I94 , if the immigration officer who is collecting sees that I94 is expired she is subject to 10 year BAN unless she goes CANADA or MEXICO route where they don't collect I94's and to come back in she needs advance parole to be approved receipt may not help .

I think u need EAD to apply for SSN. But once you apply for SSN , you dont need actual card to start wroking,

Howdy fellow Aliens,

My wife's EAD just got approved. Now I have to get her a SSN so she can start working part time. Firstly I should ask can she get a SSN provided her I-485 application is filed and she has a valid EAD ? Any idea how long it takes to get the dang SSN ? I appreciate your help as always.

So when's the next contest guys?

what if they are both used in the same sentence for the same case like they did for OP ? :)

My best guess is :D

pre-adjudicated under review = it is not over yet :)

I think Air India is the best for elderly people.

"- $195 for a 30 minute phone consultation
- $395 for a 60 minute phone or in-office consultation "

looks to be a bit high for consultation

Why dont you consult Prashanthi Reddy who is one of the Attorney's that answers IV Conference calls. Her consultation seems to be quite reasonable to my knowledge. ofcourse check with her anyway the consultation price. Also check with Shusterman, etc.


"I found one group -
EmployementLawGroup.net
And they are asking me
- $195 for a 30 minute phone consultation
- $395 for a 60 minute phone or in-office consultation
I don't know how much they are going ask to answer to my summons along with filing a new case .Tomorrow I'm going to send documents and then I'm going to have appointment with them.
For the time being I'm going ahead with them - If you guys know please advise me.
( I'm really not earned/earning much ) "

I got the RFE notification in the mail yesterday and here is the RFE info:

The Service acknowledges that you filed your I-485 Employment Based Application (Receipt #) based on your approved 3rd preference I-140 (Receipt #). Service records indicate that you also have an approved 2nd preference I-140 (Receipt #) with a priority date that affords you an available visa. If you wish to transfer this I-485 to your newly approved Form I-140 a request for conversion must be made in writing. If no response is received, USCIS will continue adjudication on the instant I-485 based on your 3rd preference I-140 and will wait for visa availability based on that preference classification".


I had another approved I-140 in EB2 from the client where I worked as a contractor. That company got acquired by another and am not sure if they still support me in the process.


1) Did anyone receive such RFE?
2) Should I send USCIS a letter by requesting them to trasfer my I-485 to EB2?

3) USCIS had issued this RFE on 03/03/10 with 04/03/10 deadline but I had received it yesterday(3/27/10). I have only 1 week to respond back.
Is there a way to buy some more time if i cant respond back in 3-4 business days?


Please advice. I really appreciate your help!

Thanks in advance.

I have read this document as well before. That is one of my reason I wanted an explaination where interim EAD was terminated. Thanks

Hi

This is what is mentioned on the I-765 form.

http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765.pdf

Check page number 9. It speaks about Interim EAD, and this document expires on 08/31/08. If they have stopped issuing Interim EADs how come it says the opposite on this document. Just wondering:confused:

My case was also transferred to CSC. The transfer notice has a different receipt date than the receipt notice. MY case is now transferred back to NSC.
I would like to know if anybody of you have received finger print notice. I have not received it yet.

No FP, or any other communication whatsoever. Just the transfer notice.

I am in 6th year of H1 and my company is working to file Labor. If I include time spent outside US, I have time till April 25th to file it . I got a call from paralegal on my case, saying that process has changed since Jan 1 and we need to get prevailing wage from Washington which might take like 5 months? Is this true? Is it possible to submit job order based on my present salary hoping that prevailing wage will come lower than this number? Is this workable? Please help to advice. If nothing works, I need to start planning to leave US.

Thanks for the reponse imm_pro and kopra.

Hi Kopra,

My wife will be returing beack from india in mid october :(...


If she uses her H4 Visa stamp to enter , will have to file H4 to H1 Chane of status to be able to work on H1.

I used David Cohen at

Canada Immigration - Information on Immigration to Canada (http://www.canadavisa.com/)

I have observed, based on stories from different people that NSC sends RFEs when one tries to upgrade a non-premium I-140 case to premium. Does NSC send RFEs for premium cases? Till now, I have only heard NO.

No matter how hard I try, my lawyer keeps insisting that my case should not be upgraded to premium, because if an RFE is served, it might delay the case even more (implying, more than how long a regular case takes).

The whole thing does not seem to make any sense. If an applicant files under premium processing, according to NSC, his/her application is more reliable (and honest?) than if some one who files it on non-premium basis?

Hi

I hold a H1b Visa but did not work after coming to US.
Can anybody guide me regarding my current status.
My H1 was approved in 2007 quota and i entered US in march 2008..but was not successful in getting a job and my employer is not running any payroll..
can anybody help me with this??

thankyou

RUN buddy RUN! This forum is for LEGAL immigrants trying to get their employment based green cards. There are people from EB3 with PD from 2001 ( yeah, TWO THOUSAND AND ONE) who are maintaining their EB status diligently by having a steady job and waiting and waiting and waiting for their GC to come.

Now, you coolly come and say what you have just said and have the gall to ask for advice.

The same applies to other poster 'nehas' also who had a similar question.

Thanks,

I applied for my 7th year H1-B extension in March (Mat 14th) and received a WAC case number. As per the USCIS case search, It was approved last week. But I have not yet seen any confirmation from my attorney.
