Hi
My 140 got approved and 485 is in pending state.I have my EAD and also valid H1.

1.Can I add my spouse to my GC status when PD is not current?My spouse is on H1B visa.

2.If I start using EAD, is it still possible to add spouse or I should maintain valid H1 status?

Can you please respond back ASAP.Thanks.

Your spouse can file I-485 only when your PD is current. Until (s)he needs to maintain H1/H4 status.

Team,

Friend of mine had a interview today about 20 min, seems like everything looks good.

The current case for my friend falls under EB3 (2001). But the tricky thing is he filed another case in 2005 in Lulac but he revoked the case.

After interview officer said she needs calrify the Lulac case and background check.

I am wondering if anybody is in similar situation if so your advice will be very valuable.

Thanks,

M

Some of us will be seeing approvals starting tomorrow, the magic date AUG 1, 2008.

Please post ONLY approvals, LUDs, audits starting Aug 1.

Good luck to all.

Thanks

Thanks Gc2 for useful information. I will the family class.

Do I need to cancel their I-485 after they go to India or I will just leave as it is - let it cancel / reinject by itself.

my pd IS Dec 2005 EB2, it is a 485 Interview

ROW?

Hi,

My wife and I applied for the AOS (I-485, EAD and AP for my wife and I-485 for me). I was wondering

1. As to who will receive the receipt number? Will my attornery receive it or will I receive it?

2. Will it be a letter or an email from USCIS?

3. I am the primary applicant. My wife may be offered a permanent position with the company she is working for on a consultant basis. Now the question is - Can she take the offer before her EAD is approved? I mean to say - Can she transfer her H1B processed for the company? Will she have any problem with the AOS application as her paper work (new I797) is changing? We are very confused with this.

Really appreciate your answers!

Thank you very much!

Thanks everyone who shared their experiences.

Much appreciated.

my lawyers have indicated that i would need a 551 stamp in the passport if the card doesn't arrive on time, using AP etc is not an option.

anyone been through this situation and has more details?

thanks


Oh ok,i think if you are outside US when your GC approved then AP is the only option..May be getting 551 stamp on PP is the option in this case..

I have my PD as Nov 2007 on EB3 , and i dont know how much patient i would be for my GC.

Hi,

I got a dream job offer and I have not yet applied for OPT. I have not graduated from school and that's why I applied for CPT.
I just want to know can I work on CPT till my OPT arrives? Also would it be of concern to my employer that I am working on CPT as long as I am eligible to work legally full time? Is that something I should intimate my employer about before joining?
I would appreciate if someone can reply really soon.

Thanks a lot.

Hi all
I have I-140 approved from Company A . Company B applied for my H1B extn based on Company A's approved I-140 and got 3 years extension till 2011.

My question:
can I switch to company C now and get 3 more years extension again.? My I-140(company A) has not been revoked and priority date is not current.I want to start my PERM only after joining company C .

Thanks in advance .

If you are able to get the extension from company A to company B, what is stopping to get the extension for company C. I believe you should be able to get one. Go for PP....

Sorry for this long post. I just have to let it out...

I had my H1B visa approved and I talked to my employer on the phone this afternoon. I admit I did not do well in the interview I had with him last April 18, my visa was filed on March 31..... meaning he hired me first and interviewed me when my visa was already filed. I also have to fly from NJ to LA to meet him at my expense. It was then that I learned that the company doesn't have any permanent employee and no official office. There are only 2people who are doing everthing, he as the president and his partner. All those working for them are all subcontractors. The last time we had our conversation after that interview, he said that he was willing to offer me another position but with a lower salary which he repeated in his email yesterday when I told him about the news that my visa was approved. He suggested we talk on the phone to discuss.

So when I called him today, he said that I was not able to clearly understand what he said in the email that I am not capable of handling the job and that he has no job to offer me because he knows that I will not succeed. He even asked me if I am willing to work and be fired after.

We had an argument over the phone and I asked him what I will do with my visa. I admitted to him that the job that he is offering me is not really my forte and if only I was provided with my job description before I signed the attorney's retainer's contract, I have turned off the job offer since there is still another company who is willing to sponsor me. He have not given me any clear description of what the job will be. He also told me that I misrepresented myself.. That I included in my resume things that I didn't really do that I did not even do any programming at all --- something that really hurts me --- being an analyst/programmer back in my country since I graduated college. Then he keep on telling me that I have wasted my time already and if he would hire me, I will surely lost more because I would eventually get fired.

I said to him, how did he know that I will not be successful if he would not give me a chance. He said he just know. (what is he GOD?). I said to him its unfair.

The job position is Electronic Security Engineer. I am in Systems analysis and Application development.

I shouldered all my expenses in my Visa processing -- which is more or less $4,000 including my air ticket back and forth at the same day from NJ to LA which is approximately 10 hours flight (5 hours each way).

Can you give me an advice. I just couldn't let it just pass away. I felt I was humiliated and was treated unfairly.

Thanks for your advice.

Today i saw Soft LUD on my approved I-140. Is anybody else got same thing?

H1 getting cancelled should not affect your Green Card.

You should be able to change as many times as you want. There is no rule. I have changed jobs twice using AC21.

Keep a copy of the AC21 letter and pay stubs, that was submitted by the lawyer for your reference.

There are no clear guidelines or rules for using AC21. As you may already know, there is no need for submitting the AC 21 letter either. So use your judgement.As long as you are working in the similar job type GC process should go fine.

So a question that's worth pondering. If I am on 485/EAD without H1b, does this mean I have the right to work but not the right to stay in the US?
The EAD card only gives us the right to work (as said on the card, cannot be used for entry), and my 485 has been pending for more that 240 days.

Is there any explicit stipulation for the 485 that allows me to be in the US as long as it is not denied?

04/29/2007: Need for Networking of Immigrants to Support Immigration Reform Legislation

When it comes to the community organizing and support activities for the comprehensive immigration reform legislation, there are hundreds of organizations that organize, network, and mobilize the immigrants in support of the issues involving the difficult issues of legalization of illegal aliens. However, the same is not true with the employment-based immigration reform issues. The lobbying and organizing and support of these issues rely heavily on the employers, businesses, and academic institutions such as competeamerica. Without doubt, the employers should be the most effective and powerful groups to pressure the Congress, President, and other players in the political process.
However, it is time that the immigrants themselves also participate in a similar effort to share information, issues, and supporting activities. Obviously, the first move is to organize and build a network throuhout the nation and the world, and along with the networking, other support activities must be conducted and expanded. There are not too many immigrant groups that are focused on the employment-based immigration reform issues. Currently, a website of www.immigrationvoice.org is launching this campaign and attempting to organize and network in the employment-based immigrant communities. This reporter urges the foreign professional workers to visit and join this group to help an activities of side-kick from the standpoint of stakeholder foreign workers in support of the employers and their support groups. "Networking" will create a power in the political process.

I am on F1 visa. I enrolled in one of the university. I don't attend university in person. I do attend classes online from another state. My question is that I am resident of which state ?? Will I be automatically resident of state where exactly my university is ? I know it is mandatory to attend classes in person on F1. Can you please advise ? How is residency considered ?

Thank you very much.
If you are on F1, you need to be attending courses in-person - so e-learning/ distance learning is a voilation per-se of F1.

Now, if you were attending the courses in-person, you can be residing anywhere (particularly in cities close to state borders), and your residency will be the address where you are staying, not the university you are enrolled in. There is nothing in the rules to be a resident of the same state as your Univ is.

IMO: 7th Year extn can be filed if PERM is pending for more than 365 days or if I-140 is approved.

You can also get 7th yr extension with approved labor. With approved I-140 you get 3 yrs of extension.
