As a H1B holder, can I start a new company and volunteer for it while I am holding a full-time job for the company that sponsors me the visa? I am expecting the new company to gain a profit, of course.:)

I have been trying to go thru various threads in this sub-forum. I have few questions, which I will appreciate if anyone can answer:

1. Are you responsible for invoking the AC21 or the new company that hires you does that?
2. Will you be hired into new company using EAD or H1B?
3. Does H1B need to be transferred to the new company anyways?
4. If wife has started using her EAD, how does that get affected?
5. Can you continue to use the AP issued or do you have to have a new AP re-issued?

Thanks

Karsan

Could you change the flashplayer to something else that has forward/rewind controls. I closed the website a few times accidentally and I had to start all over again as this has no forward buttons.

Secondly, does anyone have access to AILA ? There is a mention of procedures to correct improper rejections by the service centers for cases with incorrect date stamps, lost checks or documents due to the errors on part of service center. I am badly in need of these procedures because I need to know what actions my attorney can take to fix my rejection issue. And I am sure there are many more in the same boat looking for this information.

Work travel prevents me from attending the DC rally on the 18th (was going to attend on the 13th), but if anyone is hesitating on whether to go due to funds, i offer $200 if you promise to attend. Send me a private message!

Very few members are intrested in discussing H1B as most IV members are on EAD.

Thanks Aluwal. I was just concerned that I got mine and she didnt. but thanks for your quick help. So I guess that's common where the spouses EAD comes later...

hello,
If you applied for their I-130 before the end of 4/2001, then they would be eligible for 245(i) and adjust status even if they are illegally here now. However, for 245(i) to work, would require them being present in the U.S. at the time you applied for I-130. In short, if they were physically present in the U.S. before the end of April of 2001, and if you applied for their I-130 before end of April of 2001, they can adjust in the U.S. If not, they can't. In any case, if they leave the U.S. now for consular processing, they will not be able to receive their immigrant visas because they will trigger a 10-year bar from entry to the U.S. and become inadmissible.

I would advise to speak to an immigration lawyer before doing anything at this time.

Here is s tricky situation :

8th Year H1 extension applied by current company. Still in process, should be approved in Nov 2006.

Can I transfer to a new company using this H1 ?


There is nothing tricky, it is plain and simple: you want to switch jobs?
You have to apply for a new H1. You absolutely cannot use your current H1 to work any other job.

ooo i love the first one :thumb:

but the second one is confusing- why have a stamp with an envelope on it? oooohhh or is that the irony of it? lol looks cool still.

nice

On your I-485 approval, H4 status is lost and no longer valid.

In my job search (banking and finance jobs) there is this one question i come across on each and every job application-

"Do you now or will you in the future require sponsorship to legally work in the united states?"
and options to tick on the form are 'yes' or 'no' with no space for explanation.

So i mark 'yes' and i guess thats where my job applications get stuck.

Should I answer yes or no, since i am on L2 (visa valid for next 2 years) and currently have 2 years Employment Authorisation (EAD) where i can work for any employer in the United States ?

I understand that companies ask this question because some of them are not allowed/ do not have a policy to sponsor visas.

I want to know whether i am legally required to say 'yes' beacuse i am on L2 ( since after 2 years, my visa renewal depends on whether or not my spouse's L1 is renewed)

OR

Do I still have a choice to say 'no' since my visa renewal gets done if my husband's gets done or i manage it on my own through a consultant... and the company i will join in both cases does not have to sponsor or pay for my visa either now or in the future.

I do not want to misrepresent any information and get thrown out of the organisation after i join, nor do I want to lose out on opportunities because of answering this question wrongly.

(There is a separate question that asks if i am legally allowed to work in the US and i answer 'yes' to that since i have an EAD)

Let me know please, it'll help a lot.

My eye is drawn to that probiscus on the butterfly..... looks like a french horn or something! I can't tell you enough....you've been doing incredible work with your new camera. Agree with above comments about the cactus and disembodied foot.
