3. If new employer gives me the option to move permanently to its subsidiary in another country, what are the available option for me to continue with green card processing?

You can convert your I-485 to Consular Processing (CP) and keep your GC process going. Since GC is for a future job, you can work this out with your employer. Basically, your employer has to support you so that when you are called for the consular interview, you need to be able to show documentary evidence that you will be moving back to the US and joining the same job at or above the advertised wage once your GC is approved.



Are you sure AC21 is valid for Consular Processing? AFAIK, AC21 applies only to AOS applications. See Murthy's note on CP vs AOS @ http://www.murthy.com/news/UDaosvcp.html

Also, if you move outside of the country permanently, why would one want to pursue GC option? GC is only for people who want to stay in the US permanently. After getting the GC, there are other conditions you need to meet to maintain your GC status - one of them is to have the US as your country of residence.

got it, sonu. Thanks; clear as water now!

skp71, please treat the posting by Sonu as the final word on your case!; However, as he indicated consult your attorney becuase there may be additional details of your case which may not know while providing you feedback.

EAD and AP are benefits due to AOS pending. They are not status by itself. Thus it is optional while filing 485. Once you file 485, you are automatically in legal status to stay in US. H4 status enables you to reentry to US. Similarly, if you loose H4 for some reason ( like in Ur case), AP will allow your spouse to reenter USA.

Please consult an attorney.

Arnet,
Yes, though u not use in Port of Entry, still u can use for Work
That is what i am doing and as i told you, i got 3 year H1 Extension also


hey nivasch, can you use H1 to work if you didnt use it to enter at port of entry? can you please explain your experience? thanks.

It's all gas gas gas... Manmohan Singh is heading one of the most corrupt & messy govt. in the history of India. All the ministers are busy looting the country and would like to make most in the remaining 3 years of their terms. Forget they will do anything that would benefit anybody else but themselves..it's only that overexcited journos ask the ministers what they will do and without even thinking they vomit nonsenses. Think logically how this can be a WTO issue, it is completely in their jurisdiction whatever fees they may want to charge, take it or move on...nobody is forcing them to use the expensive Visas ?

Thanks to you all, I will update after talking to an attorney.

Ooohh... maybe I should try the game once more :)

Oh wait... I can't... :*(

i got frustrated and applied for PP .... came back in 3 days... they are rediculous..

Tsc

Thanks for the reply. My lawyer told me that she has seen a case when the green card application was accidently submitted with a copy of an expired passport, and there wasn't any problem. However, she's not certain if this is what happens with every application submitted with an expired passport.

Could someone with experience related to this please reply? I'd really appreciate it.

Passport is a just a travel document to enter. Once entered legally, passport has no importance for immigration (GC) purpose. There is no need to renew the passport, unless you plan to travel. In fact, you dont need a passport to enter USA, if you have Green card. The important thing is that you have to always maintain legal status in US. If you are in non-immigrant status, you have to watch for I-94 expiry, and renew them on time. Not the passport. If you are apply for GC, USCIS want to confirm that you entered the US legally with valid visa and maintained your legal status in US. They dont care about the expiry of ypur passport.

Yes, I hired them in 2004. Spoke to David Cohen for an initial consulatation. They did all the paperwork. Back then they charged 1500 for the whole thing was payable in installments. (They made a mistake in one of the forms which came up during my final PR interview which was able to explain. So insist on receiving and reviewing all the forms prior to signing them). With that exception, they did a good job. Another issue was that they kept changing the paralegals so I worked with 3 people during the whole process. They were pretty good on answering calls and emails.
Like someone said in this thread you do not have to have an immigration agent for Canadian PR as it is pretty straight forward. I used one only for the peace of mind and less hassle.

IfYouSeekAmy,

Can you please share your experience with them?

Thanks

Are they now allowing to get a H1/H4 stamping done in Canada instead of going back to home country ?

^^ Bump ^^ (just wanted to give some more 'air' time for this thread in hopes of catching attention from IV core )

February visa bulletin will be out this week any day.

What is the opinion of gurus who analysed that latest USCS numbers about dates? what do you predict?

Hi Guys

I am on H1B, just filed my GC. I am planning to do a masters degree (i am a B.E now). Any suggestions? I was looking at walden university for online programs. are they any good? Is it worth the money spent??

Thanks! :)

Hi,

I've already completed my 6 yrs on H1, have my 140 approved, applied for extension and got it (before 6 yr expiry). The extension has been approved for 3 years.

Now -- I need to change employers as my employer is asking me to become full time from consulting.

2 questions:
1. Can I use this extension to change employers?

2. Can I start the GC process with the 140 priority date? (Feb '08)?

Thanks

PS: I apologize if this is in the wrong forum.

@KabAyegaMeraGc - question for you: if you were qualified for EB-2, why did you in first place filed for EB-3? Looking at your profile, you may would have been just about to get your GC if you would have been in EB-2 bucket. Just curious. Also, what is your lawyer's take on this whole porting thing?
there are many of us here that were qualified for EB2, but our employers wanted to file under EB3.
At the time of filing, everything was current, and therefore none of us objected much. It was later that everything came crashing down.

No. Never heard about this type of situation. Can you call customer service center to find out what is going on. Also you are current so something should come on your way....

depends on what the job required per your labor cert. If it said 2 years, then even if you have 36 years of industry experience you need experience letters for only 2 years.

If you are going for EB2 and your LC says MS+1 year of experience, you need experience for 1 year. If your LC said BS+5 years you need 5 years worth. If your LC said the job requires expertise in VC++, your experience letter must mention VC++.


It is EB3 (PD 2001) and Lc did say that 3 years of experience and my first job almost have 2 years 8-9 months of experience. So I was thinking that USISC should not mind for letter of eperience for 3 remaining months..Current job ..I have been working now for 6.5 years....

Does it matter..Do you think it really matters..

let me know..otherwise I really have to worry about RFE

DB

..if someone started now?

If a major corporation (i.e. bonafide company, no fraud, etc) started the labor process for an employee tomorrow, how long (in a ballpark sense) would it take before the person could file for I140 and I1485 concurrently?
...and do you think the dates wd remain current (for India) till then? And is there anything that can be done from the employee or employer's side to speed up the process? All comments will be appreciated.

Thanks all for your time

leo

That is incorrect.
Both are different.
I was told by my attorneys para leagal (so who knows if this is true or not....) that the ITIN number is the same number that will be issued in the form of ssn.
