One moron has put the following comment...

"something to put on immigration forum...bcoz just see some indian name."

You moron open your eyes....this is the immigration forum and this news shows something innovative and an immigrant is doing. More over its in the interesting topic.

My case was approved on Aug 19, 2010. I received my card on Aug 26, 2010.

Unfortunately, The EAD card had a wrong start date. I have sent my cards back for correction on Sept 2, 2010.

(I do have approval e-mail of my cards and the case.)

So, Question is, Can I work while my cards come back with the correct date. I don't have receipt of the replacement cards in my hand yet.

Please let me know.
Thanks,
Samir

LOL..its good to have a sense of humor.

I wish there was a way to know if a case is pre-adjudicated.

This would help us to not file for H1 extensions, EAD, and AP. Which inturn would free up time for the officers to work on improving processing dates.

Offcourse, i am still happy about the date movement.

It just makes you wonder , if they USCIS was deligent in not wasting visas in previous years, even EB-3 would have had a reasonable date.


EB-2
priority date:March 05
July 07 filer

Big thanks to the entire group. We should not be happy unless we get our goals done.

1. They should take the applications for July 2007.
2. They should make PD July 2007 for the coming VB atleast. Because it was current in July 2007.
3. They should increase the VISA numbers so that the back log is no more.
4. They should not seperate husband and wife because of this idiotic immigration system. One having a green card and other partner not able to be with them. Because we INDIAN strongly believe in marriage and not like AMERICAN marrying more than 1 wife or husband.

I currently have approved EAD, I-140 and waiting for a Visa number to become available. My receipt date for I-485 was July 2nd 2007 and my notice date was September 27th. My employer is closing the IT department in March. Though it has been 180 days since my receipt date, it's not 180 days since my notice date. Will my I-485 processing be impacted when a Visa number becomes available? Also, will it be Ok if I'm out of a job for a short time while I'm looking for my next job? I sincerely appreciate the help and guidance in this matter.
Thanks


it's not 180 days since my notice date. Will my I-485 processing be impacted when a Visa number becomes available?
No


will it be Ok if I'm out of a job for a short time while I'm looking for my next job?
.

If you are planning to use EAD no problem, but if you are planning to use AC21 with H1B then you need to maintain valid status as specified in your H1B. i.e., if you can mainting the salary specified in your offer letter and if that matches your W2 for the year, then you are ok.

These are my thoughts.

Good luck my friend and I am in process of doing my H1B using AC21

FP completed...What Next?

PF

Probable Fatigue

I filed my 485 application at TSC at the beginning of August, still did not get any receipt number, neither are the checks cashed.

Any idea how long USCIS/TSC is taking these days to issue a receipt or cash the checks?

Thanks,


Finally got the receipts on 3rd Sep..so in about 24 days!!

Hi,

Regarding A# on I 140, if you've missed that in your 485 application, it's no big deal as long as you've sent a copy of your I-140 approval notice that has the A# mentioned in it.

Just my 2 cents...

Is there any risk in rescheduling a fingerprinting appt? I am travelling when the appointment is currently scheduled for:(. Does that impact the overall processing times of 485/EAD/AP?


With an travel plans that you can attach asking for a later date for the FP. If possible give them the possible dates you will be arriving back and request a date after that. Make sure in your absense somebody is available to pick up your FP notice from the mailbox. Send your request as early as possible with a delivery confirmation and/or signature requried so you have a track of whether your letter made it to them in time just in case..

It will work out.. cheers

Hi IV friends-

I am preparing to apply for my EAD througth E-file online. I am on H1-B currently and my I-485 was filled under my husband's EB2 application in July 2007. I did apply for EAD at the same time and got approved EAD for a year but never used and it it expired in December 2008. Now My H-1 B cap will reach in March 2011 and want to go on EAD ASAP so I can save the remaining time on H1-B ( advised by my company lawyer.) . My questions -

Should I apply for reneal of EAD or new EAD?

How difficulat is it to apply online? Do I need to send coyp of my H1-B etc as supporting deocument?

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Regards,

Imi1224

I�m in EB2 and My I-140 was approved on March 2009 through Employer A. After which I moved to India and now am back (Nov 2010) with Employer B. My old Employer A has my apporved I-140.

It would be great if I get answer the below my Question:

1. Can I apply for I-485 with my new employer B based on my approved 140?? OR
2. Do I need to go back to my old employer A to apply my I-485. If yes is there any specific time period to go back to my old employer A.

Thanks for your help.

Please call your senators and representatives...

If people are dreaming about jobs on EAD - they are in for s rude shock - they will realise what is in store for them

great article

Haha! Good concept, nice stamp man.

*shivers* 50cent... :lol:

Gurus,

I am considering switching my employer.

Currently I have I-140 and labor for GC approved in 2006.
Filed I-485 in July 2007.

My current H-1B expires on December 2009. (9 years on H-1B.... ya that long)

Based on my AC-21 portability after 180 days of I-140 approval, if I move to a new employer and file H-1B transfer, will I get default approval of only upto December 2009, or can I get 3-year extension based on my I-140 approval?

Appreciate your answers in advance.

Thanks,
Optimizer

10/23/2007: Senate Passed Legislation to Recapture 61,000 Unused Numbers for Allied Healthcare Workers

* In the legal immigration, the allied healthcare community has strongest lobbying groups in the nation. These groups were able to muscle passage of a legislative bill in the Senate yesterday recapturing 61,000 unused EB-3 foreign worker visa numbers for them. This bill was passed as part of the Labor-HHS 2008 appropriation bill. Reportedly, this bill faces two roadblocks ahead to make it into a final legislation. One is the White House that has been threatening to veto the Labor-HHS bill in toto because of the amount of spending. Second is the House that has to agree to the Senate version in the conference committee. However, the second roadblock does not seem to pose any serious threat as demonstrated by the move of some of Democrats in the House. Please stay tuned.

India has expressed its concern to the Chinese government over Beijing issuing visas on a separate sheet of paper to Indian nationals from Jammu and Kashmir instead of stamping them in their passports. Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), India strongly believes this, as a well-thought-out strategy to question the status of its state Jammu and Kashmir. It has been issuing visas stapled to passports to people from Arunachal Pradesh who have traveled to China since 2007.

MEA spokesperson Vishnu Prakash says �We have conveyed our concern to the Chinese government in this regard. It is our considered view and position that there should be no discrimination against visa applicants of Indian nationality on grounds of domicile or ethnicity.�
It�s not clear when the Chinese started issuing visas on a separate sheet of paper to Indian travelers of Kashmir. The matter came to light when immigration authorities at New Delhi International Airport, India turned away Kashmiris carrying the standalone visas, assuming they were fakes. The Chinese embassy however issued letters confirming that it had issued valid visas. The matter was then brought to MEA�s notice, prompting it to take up the issue with Beijing. Immigration authorities have been directed to treat the standalone visas as invalid.

This is just to brought some Immigration development in other parts of world. We strongly belief that both the Asian neighbors will resolve such issues amicably soon.

Hello Folks,

I am on H1-B and have an EAD. My Dad is a builder in Hyderabad and I want to promote the apartments in US. Can I rent an office space and just do marketing without registering a business? All sales will be completed in India.

Thanks for your advice,
Ramki

Notwithstanding the advice you get here, you should contact an attorney for legal advice. Don't act on the information you get here. You don't want to jeopardize you immigration status.

I couldn't tell it was a wall at first, took me a while..

No I don't...he's two-timing with 36% of Wizard apparently.
