Friends, my EAD/AP will expire later this year along with my 8th year H-1B extension. My 140 isn't approved yet. Now, what happens if my employer wants to cut costs and says let's extend only your H-1B for now and let your EAD/AP expire? If I'm not wrong, filing for H-1B/H4 extension is cheaper than that for EAD/AP.

Specifically, these are my questions:

1. Can I extend EAD/AP on my own?
2. If I let my EAD/AP expire and continue working on H-1B, can I reinstate them (EAD and AP) at a later date in the future once my 140 is approved? In this scenario, there will be a gap between two successive EAD/APs.

Thanks.

ok,,,this is mine. but...i never signed up. i know i didnt....weird.

AFAIK you cannot use your SSN to receive google adsense revenues if you want to continue on H1B. It counts as business income and Google will send you a 1099 form and that is not allowed on an H1B. What people usually do is get someone in their home country to be the Google Adsense beneficiary. If you use your own ssn, on paper, it puts you out of H1B status.

Here (http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=714462)is a link with explanations.

Passive income is alright. AFAIK banks send you 1099 if you earn interest in your saving account (above a certain amount) or CD. Have to report it to IRS.

I think its ok. I am in the same boat. But the applicaiton will be transfered to TSC.
Not sure how long it will take.


If it has to be transferred Texas why my employer did this * intentionally * to Nebraska :mad:

huh.. hopefully it will not delay my receipt date. I am planning to travel abroad and waiting for the 485 receipt notice..

Thanks for your answers. Really appreciated :)

USCIS will attempt to reconcile multiple 485s and combine them into one app. A lot depends on the A# assigned(should be present on the 485 receipt). If both your receipts show the same Alien number then you should be ok. If not that goes to the 'admin processing' procedure.

Even if your A# is same on both 485s, you should call USCIS and check to see if both the apps have been combined. That way once one of your 485s is approved the other will be given a NOID and you can withdraw the other app.

NOTE: On your one of your 485 appl, you should have marked yes for the question regarding previous/other 485s.

I am not sure how these questions will help? Maybe it will proove that we are high skilled and highly paid members who cannot even contribute $20!!

Indians dont want to pay, they want everything free or cheap.

FYI--I am also an Indian.

What is the process of suggesting amendments to bills under consideration to lawmakers, e.g. the amendments to PACE suggested in my previous post- can I call/e-mail/fax all sponsors/lawmakers or can I only contact specific lawmakers (those of my area)? Any suggestions will be welcome!

Hey this is good news, atleast the crowd will get reduced in chennai consulate :)

Yes, that will help the chennai consulate lines. And it is great for hyderabadis since we don't have to go to chennai, sometimes multiples times for a single stamping.

Let me add one more wrinkle:

Do you guys think I would lose my right to use EAD if I move to another employer by transferring my H1B? (I still have 2 years on it).

I had the same problem.

You can always paper file. That will solve the issue. If you want to E-file, here's how I did it with Trubotax:

put '0' for wife's AGI and e-file.
IRS will respond saying that last year's AGI and ur answer does not match. You have to send in form 8453-OL to sign your return. This means that your return is conditionally accepted, but you MUST mail the signature form for it to be complete.

(turbotax will provide you the form). Print it out, fill it and sign (you and spouse) and send it in.

Thats it!

Dear Friends, my 140 just got approved at TSC (EB3-India, PD Feb 03, 140/485 filed in July 07). Given the current economic turmoil, my company may lay off people. I have a valid EAD till Oct 09. God forbid, if I can't find another job here after my layoff, is it legal to go to my home country (i.e., India) for a few months and then come back before Oct 09 to renew my EAD? Assuming the USCIS doesn't adjudicate my 485 while I'm away, could I have any problems at the port of entry (since I would be using Advance Parole but wouldn't have a job)?

Thanks.

i will ask my lawyer, to get some insight. Although the mumbo-jumbo he conveys is most time does not provide real answer, other than covering his own backside...

I beleive it should be ok, as long as POE immigration does not ask for pay stubs.

Porting PD Imp Approach & Question

Background-

Working with employer A have approved labor and I-140 EB3 and have a copy of all documents. Also have an approved EB2 PERM with employer B.

My questions are �
1) Can I transfer my H-1B to employer B to file new I-140 using EB3 Priority Date using recently announced premium service and I will tell employer A that I am on vacation ?

If I get new EB2 approval with old EB3 Priority Date then I will resign from employer A
If I will get rejected new EB2 with old Eb 3 Priority Date then I will go back to old employer A that I am back from vacations

Since this is premium service so turn around time is less than 4 weeks. Less than 4 weeks is not that uncommon to go on vacation.

Any comments or risk of this approach

Hello..
I guess the apointment dates are not yet open for nov 06 .. I had the same issue with chennai consulate I was trying to book one in nov 06 .. all these days it said no appointments for nov .. they just opened them (nov dates) up today for chennai consulate .. so I picked one..

Delhi .. I am not sure wat dates are current .. if it shows JUne/July currently u may need have to check every now and then until nov dates open up

I have taken mine and my wifes appointment for the same day.. In the process of your application on VFS it asks wether u want to add another passport .. u need to provide the second HDFC recipt #

You have to have ur petition no.. (SRC #) ..

Are passport photographs needed?

Well for us EB-3, hope is what we have

bloody bulletin . never moves
I am still short of 16 days.

Its support of every single person who has the heart made it possible... You can pat on your back!!!


English_August : well done co-ordinating...I salute you guys!

USCIS is not updating the online status. Mine got approved and I received it in mail. But still the online status remains as pending.

This is useful for those singles who have applied for green card but are worried about getting it before being married. And there appears to be quite a number of them.

Even if it is not useful for all those married green card applicants, this is a huge thing for the singles even if they are in the long Q. This is a long term solution for a section of the IV community. Because it is not useful to married doesn't mean that it is not relevant to IV community.

I have seen people who didn't apply during July fiasco though they are eligible just because they cannot bring the spouse if they get married. Absolutely it is relevant to all those singles out there in this community.

I'm EB3-ROW and at the last stage of I-485 processing. Just waiting for the bulletin to tell me I'm current. Two weeks ago, I found out my lawyer has been blacklisted. Just like Fragomen. Apparently my lawyer performed "too many miracles."

Now I wish to change lawyers to avoid risk of RFEs, denial, etc. Should I do it? What is involved in the switch of lawyers? Just a simple G28? Any risks involved?

Would appreciate any opinions on this matter. Thank you.

Do you mind sharing the name of your lawyer?
