Hello Gurus,

Here is my situation and I really appreciate your advice:

I have filed my I-485, EAD, and AP thru my employer (consulting company) in EB3 category. I have received my EAD and AP but i havent invoked AC21.

I also have approved labor (PD--01/2006), and approved I-140 in EB2 category thru my client's company.

Since, EB3 category is not going anywhere, I am thinking of filing another I-485 thru my client in EB2 category.

1) Is it possible for me to file second I-485 in EB2 category while first I-485 is waiting for approval?

2) Can i port my EB3 PD (12/2003) while filing 2nd I-485 thru client?


Thanks in advance!!!

Folks,
Mine is 2003 EB3 labor, I don�t have copy of the labor. Don�t know the job code and title, planning to switch AC21 and not sure how to get this code as i had already left the old blood sucking desi employer, any suggestions,
Thanks in advance.
:D

Hi Softman,

I am in the similar situation too. I don't have my Labor approval copy and I changed my job using AC21. Now I am trying to change my attorney since my ex employee's attorney will not talk to me and all the RFEs will still go to him unless I file a G-28 form. But all the attorneys I talked to is asking for that LCA form from my previous employer.
My question to you is are you able to find an attorney to represent you since you changed the job?..

Folks!

Like me all July filers would get off the H1-B hook come this Jan. I am assuming everybody would use newly gained freedom of EAD to switch employer or jobs. So far, not many employers like to get involved in H1 hassels ( espcialy in midwest), so recruiters had good business by hiring engineers at low rate and syphoning off majority share of the pay check.

But now, with 180 days (less than 75 days) limit over, all EAD holders are free to switch employers of jobs ( I know in same or similar capacity ... but that's not the point). The point is what would be the effect on current business contracting companies have? What would be the effect of EAD on their cost models and consistent revenues?

Not saying they would cease to exsist, as H1B's would still need them. But isn't new and bold demands from engineers like me going to affect their margins? ...What do you think?


It is true with Tri State hiring agencies also, all top tier firms with direct clients are trying to reduce layers by directly enrolling you on EAD - so come January - we will see a lot of people jumping.

Thsi is healthy for the candidate. H1b shops will have their own ways of doing business and will deifnitely see some challenge

Let us build a force to push this bill with the help of IV.

We shall over come

Do I read right about this?

YES

if H1 denied by current company and still he has time with wariler I797, in this case sep09, can he try apply H1 transfer to some other company ?

Two weeks is normal. We filed paperbased renewal last month end and it got approved.

FYI
though it is difficult to identify the EAC/SRC no in soft copy of check.
If you can able to print the back side of check you can easily figure out the EAC/SRC no.

wow didn't know USCIS had the time or the resources to entertain calls about LUDs ..

Yes, I just did that last month. I went to take my FP a week before my actual appointment date. I just walked in on Saturday morning. They were nice and helpful. But I did take my 485 Notice and FP Notice, you do need that. Mine was done in St. Paul, Minnesota service center.

Hi Saroj,
Thanks for the info. I have not got FP notice and it has been over 4 months from I-485 receipt date. Do you think ASC will entertain FP request if I just walk in with I-485 receipt?

Appreciate your prompt response Raysaikat. If I get the J1 waiver from Australia, can I file directly under the EB2-NIW without changing to H1B.

Yes. EB2-NIW (in general, any green card application) has no relation with H1-B.


After completing my MS (Molecular Biotech) and PhD (Veterinary Science) in Australia, I am currently working on a J1 visa for the last 3 years in US university. My employer cannot sponsor my H1B/ Green card but I can get recommendation letters and I have 6 publications including 3 first authors. Thanks, Palani

These are so screwed up...

Looks like they are heavily back logged.. (mabye cause the conslate did not accept PIO and OCI applications for almost a month)

I sent in my daughter's OCI for miscelaneous service - move OCI sticker to new passport...

sent it in March and its still not yet reached the consulate..
when I applied the rules said they need a copy of old passport, they later changed the rules and are now saying you need to send orignal passport.
I sent the orignal passport also to them and since then no update -:(

Just impossible to reach them also...am on the phone since the last 2 hours -:( and still waiting...

they do not reply to emails either.

any one else here having trouble with them ?

Only 9 so far ? I had expected more !!!

Nikon has acknowledged a limited number of early production D200's may be afflicted with a banding problem. To read Nikon's official stance on the issue, read here (http://support.nikontech.com/cgi-bin/nikonusa.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=13872).

Are you working for your new employer now? (I assume not).
Is you new employer a consultancy, i.e, your final work assignment will be for another client... if so, then you should expect a RFE (not gauranteed, but most likely) regarding client details and contracts... assuming you fall under this category, I would suggest you to apply for premium processing if you are able to respond to such an RFE...

But otherwise, I wouldn't recommend using premium processing, since you are almost 6 months away from expiry....

You should copy paste the post instead of link and forcing people to go to a website. I suggest you edit your post. Let people discuss here than on some other site.

Hi,

I am currently working on a fulltime H1B and my GC process is going on with second stage (I140) in progress. Now my old employer wants me to work parttime for them which I agreed upon but this is a possibility only if I have a parttime H1B applied w.r.t old employer which I am thinking to apply for it and work parttime. But my question here is does this effect my GC processing? If it is what are the effects? Please reply me back. Thanks a lot.

Regards

Getting a second H1 for part-time employment has no effect on your GC whatsoever.

eb2waiter,

senthil1 has a very good answer, now if you are asking for the specific date, no one can answer your question... better pray for the CIR to be passed first...

Hi,

I just came in yesterday evening and I did not have any problems while entering the country at POE. I applied for I-485 on Aug 17th and left US on 24th. I have a valid VISA stamping till June 2008 but got a different H-1 transfer visa I-797 till jan 2010.

The officer at POE didnt ask me any single Q and he simply let me in with a new I-94 (he noted the new company name on the back of I-94 as usual).

I hope this helps you.

- If I get a new H1 sponsored (NOT a transfer of existing H1) and join a new company in a totally different job family (New H1 is not an issue because it is from a H1 cap exempt organization)

AND

- Also maintain the current H1 (I will continue part time work here to get minimum wage)
- Will continue my GC process with this co


I know this is possible but I want to know if there are any potential issues here that can jeopardize my current GC process. I am willing to do this only if my current GC process is not hurt in any way.
