If the employer revokes i140 before 180 days then what happens ,, is there any way to continue 485 ?

if approved I-140 is revoked, then Ur I-140 is not portable.ur I-485 will be denied. at the best u can ask employer delay the revoke till 180 days are passed.

if pending I-140 is withdrawan then I-485 will be denied and at the best u can ask employer to continue I-140 until it is approved and then revoke if 180 days are passed.

3) 1 1/2 yrs is the current H1-B status


Thanks

Why are you waiting till jan 2008 to apply for green card? Once you file labor and complete one year, i believe you can keep extending your h1 on a yearly basis. So you do not have to go back to India.

Planning to apply GC in 2008 jan or sometime will it be fine. that time my H1 completes 4 yrs. How long will it take labour? will it be over by 2010?
once i file labour and if not cleared by 2010(h1 completes 6 yrs). i must go back india? right?

no other solution for this?

pls help me.

If you will work for a Canadian Company within US, then you need a US work visa (H-1B for example). However, in this process you will not satisfy the residency requirements for your Canadian PR. Please note that you need to live in Canada for at least 2 out of 5 year period to maintain the PR.

Actually, if you work for a Canadian company the time spent outside Canada will count as if you were in Canada. So, you will still be able to meet the 2/5 requirement. But you need to check what are the conditions, I know that you can't just create your own company and stay there for example. Check the requirements.

On the US side, what visa will you be working on ? H1B ? If you like to stay in US, why not gained Canadian citizenship and work on TN, which is 3 years now (maybe more in the future) and very easy ?

Like the attorney mentioned, you can't maintain H4 and AOS status at the same time.

To clarify some misunderstandings - you can have H-4 and an AOS pending. You can't have H-4 and work on an EAD.

Someone else said "If working on EAD invalidates H1,..." No, working on an EAD does not invalidate H-1B status, unless the work is for a different employer to the H-1B petitioner.

Another poster: "I know many people who were on H4 and started working as soon as they filed AOS and got EAD's, now in this case there I-94 issued for H4 is still valid."

No, the H-4 status is not valid. I wonder if the H-4 applicant completed the I-539 correctly and stated that s/he was working. There is a specific question about this on the 539. If the applicant said s/he was working, I would be very surprised if CIS extended the H-4 status.

Hey NJBOY , here no one is against no one .....
Planum is trying to tell you , check your facts before you post some thing (This includes your heading)...

your heading clearly says [B]recession = 485 deny?, how does any one will assume if NJBOy says 485 what he exactly meant is labour certification.


Before you blame some one double check your post.


BTW , I don't think USCIS has history of denieng 485 on the grounds of recession, if any one who already crossed 180 days after filing 485 are required to show that the person is still working in the similar job..as long as person working , USCIS should be able to grant greencard, provided visa numbers availability.

Get images of checks cashed by USCIS, your receipt numbers are stamped on the back side of the checks. Use these RNs to call up USCIS and change your address.

Filing out AR-11 does not guarantee that USCIS will correspond to you on the new address.

Yes PWD has really became anothe begining process of the GC jurney.

PWD applied 18-Mar-2010 Approved ??-???-????
PERM applied ??-???-????

The spreadsheet is totally sorted now according to the PD. I had to make one change though. The day of the month of PD was not mentioned and I had to write something to sort it out. I made it 1st of the month for everybody to be able to so sorting. You can change the day if you want to. Also please do not sort the data yourself. I will do it periodically. Just enter your info at the end.

Bump

what is this bump means???

While I agree that yours is a genuine case, I must say that you are asking a wrong question. How do one know when would your recipt come out from USCIS? No one has a crystal ball dude...Think before you send out a question there.....

I understand that one cannot guess when USCIS sends out receipts. All I wanted to know was if there will be different receipts sent out for LC/140/485 and if the processing will be done simultaneously or separately.

See my new Signature..

I would suggest that before you take more interest in her case, first consult with her husband and make sure it is OK with him ;) ;) You know what I mean, right?:D

Thanks Kondur_007,
I thought the same about the officer . Now , am in the second category..Have an H1 but my i94 is on H4 stamping ..I hold an Indian passport , do you know if i should get the H1 stamping (first time stamping) in India or can i conveniently get it done in Canada?

So my status doesnt change until my I 485 is approved- any idea how long that will take? My H 1B expires in Nov of 2007 should I get an extension? Thank you for your replies- Lisa


After you file your I-485, your status changes to 'Adjustment of status' or 'Adjustee'.

On this status you have 2 options to be able to work:
1) Use EAD, in that case you lose your H1-B status and if your I-485 is denied for any reason, you fall out of status immediately.
Please note that if you use EAD, you HAVE TO use AP for travel.

2) Continue using and extending your H1-B until your I-485 is approved and your status is adjusted to 'Permanent resident'.

You can switch from H1-B to EAD anytime, but there are limitations on whether you can easily switch back from EAD to H1-B.


Good luck

Could you please advise how do I get the lawyer for this ? Do you know any in specific?

I'm a US-born citizen and my dear friend (now my wife) came to US from Thailand on R1/R2 Multiple Entry Visitor Visa for pleasure and to travel around with me to see the US. Though not intending to, we ultimately married while she was here on her visitor visa. See chronology below. We need to file the right forms. Please help me as this is a daunting task. If I can get some questions answered, then it will clear the clouded skies!

We both will be in the US during this process.

Me > :confused:
My Wife > :(

Here is our current situation:

1. I've been back and forth to Thailand for better part of three years for tsunami relief.

2. Met my wife doing relief work.

3. She applied for visitor visa at US Embassy in Bangkok March 2007.

4. Came first time to US May 2007

5. Married in California in July 2007 (had not intended to, but we fell in love!)

6. Returned to Thailand Sept 2007

7. Returned to US (together) Dec 2007 and are here now (March 2008)

8. Have filled out forms:


I-130 Petition for Alien Relative
I-485 Permanent Res/Adjust Status
I-325A Bio for each of us
I-134 Affidavit of Support
I-765 Employment Authorization Note: is eligibility req (c)(9) correct on line 16?


I feel there are no unusual circumstances about us. We are just normal people and don't fall under any asylum, Cuban or otherwise situations. I need to know about filing what forms and which ones together. Also, which ones will require certain documentation and when should they be included. We will likely file the 130/485/325/765 concurrently. What else should we file and what do I not need to file that I've listed?

Please get me going on this and then I can stop pulling my hair out.

I discoverd this forum today and am so happy I've found it! :D

If we sort by 'USCIS Notice Date' (click it to sort descending), then we see this case right on top (guess second)...

This also gives a quick idea about the latest Notice Date trend. Sadly, not much activity from July 20th onwards (total 7 notices reported).

Hey,
Anyone else is like me - My 9th yr H extension was receipted from VERMONT on Jan9th '08 and its almost June 9th '08 and I'm still "Pending"... The peoples i know of got it in 2-3 months , worst case is 4 months.

Earlier i had Extension from VERMONT within 1-2 months , don't know what special stuff they have found for me this time !! :rolleyes:
I am applying for premium today- Keeping my fingers crossed as I have to make a trip in last week of June.

Your posts were always the calm within the storm. Take care and God bless you.

Article says all pending application ...

"The Labor Department is auditing all pending applications for legal immigrant workers the firm has filed on behalf of its corporate clients."
