afaik there is no impact on GC... EXCEPT: if there is an RFE, you have to prove beyond doubt to uscis that you have a full time job and your job duties are "Same or similar" to what is in your labor application... however, if you asked me, from a tax and liability perspective, i would recommend going for llc/s-corp/c-corp (based on your situation) instead of 1099... even 1099 can be used for good tax benefits but is not that great from a liability perspective... having said that, if you are into software development, it is likely that you will be asked to buy liability insurance... so, it all depends on your situation...

Hello

I am planning to work part time on 1099, just wanted to know will it impact the GC process in anyway

My status
Working full time on EAD with GC Employer (planning to port job and use AC21 as soon as there is any opportunity)
485 pending since more than 6 months

Thank you

I am sure this may have been asked already but I coudn't find a thread.

I have an approved and valid extension on my H1 but my EAD expired in august and my AP expired last month. I didn't file for an EAD/AP renewal yet because I was not using them and wanted to delay it for a few months and save some money.

Will there be any problem with a delayed EAD/AP filing ?

As I understand, the 6 yrs time period includes the time spent on any type of H visa - H1 or H4.

Agree with the post above.. Lots of H1Bs are filed by unscrupulous employers who bring a person on H1B and don't pay them till they get a contract / client to bill the H1B to..

USCIS needs to investigate this.. Time to write to USCIS to be more vigilant in monitoring these firms to ensure real people with real jobs out there can get the H1Bs

thanks C:-)

I need to hand in three photos for my final this week.

These are them. Let me have it. :)

My Father is applying for Citizenship in Nov 10. If he becomes Citizen then can I file I485 under F3(married sons and daughters of citizen parents). Category and port priority date of May 03 from my employment base I-485 to I-485 under F3?

hi there,
Unfortunately INA (immigration and naturalization act) does not allow to transfer Employment Based priority dates to Family Based immigration. So no, you can not do it.

I am on an H-1 and my wife has an H-4 visa.
We filed our I-485 in July 2007 and will be current as of July 1st 2010 as per the June 2010 visa bulletin.
We do not have an AP as we didn't renew it after the first one (from July 07) expired.
We do have valid EAD�s (which we have not used until now)

We have to travel urgently to India for some personal reasons in July 2010.
What if we get our Green Card while we are gone? Can we still enter using our valid H-1/H-4 visas/status? If not, is it mandatory to have an AP to re-enter in this case?

Thanks in advance.

You will have to get your AP and enter the US using it. That would be best. Consult your lawyer too..

Because you have already been counted in the H-1 quota for FY 2008, you should be able to file for a change of status to H-1 without again being subject to the quota and should not have to wait.

HI,

i have two questions

I completed my Masters and working in related field(Software) from 2 years in OPT,now i got admission for Doctoral Program in UNVA(University of northern Virginia). This is not a good University, but i can complete my Doctoral Program in 3-4 years while i will be working in my related filed of study on CPT.

1Q.)can i be eligible for EB1 with this Doctoral Degree (or) Do i have to submit any international research papers for being eligible for EB1?

My F1 Visa was expired long back ,but have valid OPT and I-94(D/S duration of Study) so i can still work.

But i will be travelling to INDIA in May and will go to consulate for my F1Visa.

If i'm not satisfied with this Doctoral Program ,i will transfer to MBA with in same university (or)some other good university (i.e i'm trying to change from software to MBA).

2Q.) Can i Transfer to MBA when i got my visa for Doctoral Program in Software Engg ?



Please let me know if you need any more information (or) if i have to be more specific about the question.

Thanks a bunch for IV .

Strictly speaking, she cannot use the AP to enter the US unless she had it in her possession when leaving the US.

I work for a Government Agency as a H1 employee, I have my EAD as well but dont use it. I am sure the attorneys made sure that its ok to hire a H1 as an employee. Now I am doing an AC21.

Thanks Guys, So I guess it's a possibility?

Thank you .
Have you ever came across someone in same situation and got rejected?
Thanks again

I am not familiar with the for I 130. But I can answer about 485:

Your non-immigrant visa number is the "number in red" (usually only number in red) on visa stamp that is usually in bottom right corner.

Did you find it??

Can I change my job after 6 months of applying I485 with valid EAD?

I have EB2 I140 approved.
I-485 applied this July.

Thank you.

Hi

first labor approved in may 2006 under EB3
140 was approved in 2007

Since I already had masters before I joined the company
EB2 labor applied and received approval in Jan 2011

My attorney applied for 140 porting but received priority date as Jan 2011 instead of may 2006. My attorney says immigrations has made a mistake, attorney contacted them and received a reference number basically asking attorney to call back on Jun 1st. I'm concerned on what went wrong and what could be the worst case scenario. How much time are talking about here.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks


It will alright, wait for few more weeks till attorney fixes the issue.

I am planning to go India.Can I leave at JFK Newyork airport and return back at chicago POE?Will it be alright?

I heard that there are some client verification letters are asking at POE these days?anybody really faced such situation?If yes, what exactly we have to provide?

I am just scaring by the time I return back, I will have only 2 months of valid H1B visa.Will be it alright?

I agree with others its much easier to re-send documents than try to talk to USCIS over it.

Pop star Lily Allen has had her US work visa cancelled after arriving at Los Angeles International Airport.
The 22-year-old, who is due to tour America in September, had flown in for the MTV Video Music Awards launch.

A spokesman for the singer said: "She's still in America. All her commitments will carry on as normal. The work visa will be sorted out by her next visit."

She was held at the airport for five hours in connection with an arrest for an alleged assault in London in June.

The arrest arose from an incident outside a London nightclub in March and resulted in a caution for common assault.

She flew into the US from Australia on Sunday to attend Tuesday's announcement of the award nominations in Las Vegas.

An MTV spokesperson has confirmed the star will still attend the awards show.

"Lily was questioned and her work visa was revoked," Allen's spokesman said. "She was detained for five hours but not strip searched. Understandably she was upset by it."

Allen will need a new work visa before she returns to the US on 6 September, when she is due to play in San Diego.

In a statement the singer said: "I am trying everything I can to sort this out.

"It is my intention to play my American dates in September. This depends on the authorities granting me a new work visa.

"I want my fans to know that I will do everything I can to be back in America in September. I don't like letting my fans down and this is a situation that I am sure we can sort."

Allen's previous stay in the US was cut short when she postponed 20 dates from her tour in May and June because she was "bored slightly" and wanted to get back to work in the studio.
