Nave_Kum,
I don't understand your post. can you explain?

I too want to change jobs after 6 months of filing 485 and want to continue on H1 despite having EAD so that I can get my future spouse on H4. (then add/file her 485 when dates become current)

If I change to a new employer after 6 months (on H1b transfer):
1. Will my 485 remain in good standing

2. Can I get 3 yr extension of H1b from the new employer(as I have I-140 copy).

3. Can I file my spouses 485 when the dates become current (despite working for a new employer on H1b.)


If u dont use ur EAD for the first 6 months, then u can join the new employer any time using ur H1B. But immediately after the date of EAD activation, u will need to stick with the corresponding employer for the next 6 mnths.[/QUOTE]

it is highly unfortunate......if you dont mind, what is the new procedure, can we know? which stage u r in now? where u have to start it?

good luck.....

Thanks you very much for your reply.

I have paystub till Jan 09 . All the copanies are asking for recent paystub, but I don't have. My question is:

If any company interest to transfer my H1B, how it will work for me ?

I live in Jersey City. I am planning to move to NYC. My company and job location stays the same. I have filed my I-485 (received July 23rd) with I-140pending. I don't have my I-485 receipt notice, only I-140 receipt.

1) Is it safe to change one's residence(different state) ?

2) How do I update my address for I-485 so that I get the receipt notice at the new address ? As far as I know USCIS stuff is not forwarded by USPS.

Thanks

I ordered the Golf Tee - United colors of IV just now with the 1 to 5 business day shipping option, the second option. As I am planning to drive down Monday evening - I am hopeful that I will get it by then.

I would still recommend that we bring a lot of shirts of various sizes to the rally. People will definitely buy them there.

I would love to order online. But starting from Tampa on Friday itself. Is it possible to offer some at DC. I will definitely buy it. (I am sure many will buy)

Dear friends

I'm very excited to say that I got my green card approved. Thank you for all of your support.

My status change will not change a bit of my support to IV. I will continue to contribute what I contribute now, until we are sucessful. I'm not successful, until everyone of you is not successful in pursuing your green card. I hope and pray that my stand will motivate non contributing friends to contribute.

Friends and folks, we did not have any organization to support ourselves. So far we had to take anything shoved upon us. But the emergence of IV changed all that. Contribute and support IV. Because IV is our voice!!!


thanks

I changed jobs early this year with a 20% pay cut and with different titles and with different client type (private vs public). Got GC last month. No RFEs. I did not inform USCIS.

Before switching jobs, I checked with my attorney and made sure that I am covered, made sure that my previous employer will not revoke my approved I-140 and made sure that my current employer will cooperate with the process. Last month my GC got approved.

Good luck.

you shd have come with after 2004 before 2005 bullet too ..actually not sure if this poll is of use since there are many EB3 people who don't even visit this site...

How do I add more options in this Poll now? I didn't mean to discriminate and I was being realistic here. Sorry about that. Please someone, help me add more options to this poll.

Thanks.

when is this thing going in completed battles? Just wondering...

Greatly apprecite if anyone can give their inputs...

I have PD with dec 2006 and 140 approved. Filed 485 in July 2007. For october 2008 I will be done with 4 years of H1b. I am single and I may not get married untill later 2009 due to some family responsibalities. I am kind of concered about 485 getting approval by then which might jeoperdise my spouse visa later. Based on the present processing speed, mine might take minmum 2 years. But bit concerend what if USCICS make a mistake in processing 485 in terms of picking 485 from a later date and approving it?

So my query is...

1. If I now withdraw my 485 and later change company. SHould I again get a new labor and i140 approved with new company to file for 485.( Here I understand I can port my PD.).

Any inputs will be greatly apprecited....

I think you are fine having a Dec 2006 priority date, you can take a risk, probability of getting approval is less than 1%.

One of my friend with Sep 2003 PD, getting married on August and he is taking risk and praying God that his GC should not get approved before his marriage.

Now that H.R 5582 has cleared Judiciary sub - commitee and moves to Judiciary Full Commitee, I think we all need to focus our "Call/Fax" campaign and overwhelm the fence sitters with calls etc .

1. At Full judiciary commitee the list of congressman would be more than 10-15 .Probably 30-40??. Size wise it might be prohibitive.

2 No point in 1000 of us calling Steve Kings ....He will never change his mind . Spare this effort to convince fence sitters instead. No point in calling the one who we know already support either.

This leaves us with plenty of time to repeatedly call the fence sitters and force them to jump our way
Hi chmur,

Yes the Full commitee had 40 members, 23 democrats and 17 Republicans including Congressman Sensenbrenner who is a co sponsor.

I got a hold of 5 of my friends at work who are in the same GC boat as I and spent 20 mins explaining the whole process and got them to make the calls. Afterwards they were all surprised to notice it took up just 15-20 mins. Now seeing the result they are further motivated to participate in forthcoming action items....maybe this is one way we can get others to participate....

All the best IV!!

consider infopass

I had 485 interview a month back (previously at the national benefits center) at the local USCIS office. The interview went fine except that they gave me an RFE asking for additional documents verifying employment. Since then I submited documents to the local office a 3 weeks back. Today my supervisor got a call from USCIS Anti Fraud Detection (homeland security) and they left a voice mail that they need to verify my immigration status.

Is this normal? Is there something i need to worry about?

My record is pretty straighforward. I am with the same employer since 2002 first on H1b and then EAD on a permanent postion and no gap in employment and never out of status

My supervisor called back but went to voicemail and left a general message

Good for you that your case is straight forward , you were never out of status and you are indeed working for the company that had sponsored your GC. It is good for every one that they are trying to weed out the bad apples. That would mean , speedier movement of dates for genuine cases :)

Nothing to worry if your case is clean. There were couple of other similar on site interviews as reported earlier on this forum..

one of my colleague has received mail notification to the lawyer that application was picked in selection. H1b applied in masters premium.

did he get it this morning??

Take one by one and try to answer properly.

1. What is CIS is returning visa #'s to DOS.?

There are some unused and unallocated visa numbers reported by various means. Few# got reported by consulate abroad and few reported by USCIS.

2. How USCIS and Consulate can report unused Visa #'s?

You might be reading the I-485 rejection cases by CIS and Consulate
You might be hearing about USCIS is unable to process the applications received
You might be hearing people could not able to file whose cased were current in June.

All these Visa #'s are reported back

3. To me around 20000 such numbers are available for this years quota

4. Can my applications sneak into this #?

Answer is uncertain.

If your have an old priority dates then probability is high

If you have recent 05/06/07 priority date then there could be issues in issuing an EAD. People whose PD are old will take legal action against USCIS of they do not consider their case and approve yours.

5. What would August VB have?

If they do not approve any July2 filling then here is what they will do

a) Retain petition with old PD and adjust them in Aug
b) Reject all I-485 application for candidates recent PD

They are making a decision fast, that the reason Aug VB is not yet published

6. Will USCIS reverse the new decision?

Answer is NO. Why? There is no such pattern in USCIS behavior and July time is running out.

7. How about Law suite?

:) Do not worry there is a slick chance. All govt depts. are inter related.
Don�t you think Justice dept does not know about this before issuing the reversal notification in July. All CIS communication also being forwarded to Justice dept.

State--> Immigration --> Justice are all same with different names.

I have no hope from this process. It's just building a fake hope.

8. People are still filling the application.

Candidates are filling because of advice of their attorney. When you deal with the attorney directly they will encourage you to apply because they will get the money now.

There is no guarantee that you will process your application from XYZ law firm in Oct.

If you file now through them, you are bonded with him until you hear some good news from CIS.

There is a say in India.. Always try to out of trouble and Attorney. They will tell everything is possible.

Another thing after July 16th, I am not sure if they can charge money to you directly. They will rush you to pay before just 16th.


Declaimer: I am not an attorney or do not have any background of law. This is my conclusion from reading IV and many other forums. My PD is 2007 EB2.


I dont think whatever you are saying is true...

State--> Immigration --> Justice are all same with different names.

Please be careful while you post since lot of people are viewing it.

lghtsplr,

Thanks for informing us about this. I have replied in that thread mentioning that we can set up web fax with the same content. Web faxes are very easy for users to send.

I was born on December 26, 1968, will it be Gemini?
Are you a gemini? If this is also an yes I will go further to predict more

Is EAD to H1 a complicated process? If so what could be the reasons.

I still have 1.5 years on H1. I posted earlier but didn't get a clear idea.

I am waiting to hear something for my wife. She would hate it to sit at home for one year

Let see......


I will update this thread if i hear something

Looks like you were able to apply for I-485. Is there a reason why your wife would want to go on H-1B instead of EAD?

The law does not applicable to child born in USA. If child born in USA then the cross chargeable for child is applicable to the parents birth country. I am still searching for more information. I will post more information as I will find out.

Don't be offended by these RFE's. USCIS officers are just doing what they were told to do (doing their job).

I understand that the marriage ties of Indians are very strong. But we are in America, and the proof they are asking is to show that the marriage is still in good trust (a marriage certificate is not enough proof for that).

Same with birth certificate. Americans are used to giving extreme importance to birth certificates, and in India, we never had to use birth certificate as a supporting documentation. So when you don't have a birth certificate, or when the birth certificate was issues recently, they are asking for secondary documentation.

In the rfe I received both for my wife and myself I was asked to resubmit affidavit with full names of the parents. Also was asked to produce bonafide marriage documents. It is very stressful. I could not believe why I need to provide bonafied marriage document. If I am not married to my wife, how she got her H4? I could not believe my birth certificate is haunting me this way. Any of our school records mentions mother and father names. I am going to produce affidavit again with full names and try my luck again.
