Do we need to follow any process to convert from H1 to EAD? Or just apply for jobs using EAD?

you can apply for jobs using EAD, when you join the company on the I-9 form note that you are on EAD and provide the details there.

Sodh thanks for your responses

I thought carrying the old US passport along with the new US passport and PIO card would be sufficient. Anyone else with the same understanding????

You can use standard 2" X 2" or You can make Indian size one on http://epassportphoto.com/ for 20 cents.

I have a approved H1b from company A. Company A also shared a copy of approval. I was never counted under H1b cap before this approval. If I now decide not to join company A and assuming company A will not cancel H1b, can I use this H1b to join another company B later using H1b transfer�???? I am presently on cap except H1b and need a cap subject H1b in order to move to any private firm. So approval from company A matters a lot to me.

Has anyone done this�????

Thanks in advance...

IMO, you cannot do this as you are moving from a cap exempt H1 to a non-exempt H1. So, in this case it will be regarded as a fresh H1 application and not a transfer. If you want to join Company B, then they have to file a new H1 application which will count towards the cap. Hope this helps!

Hi,

I don't have any intention to change job after I pass 180 days of my I485 receipt date. But these are my concerns

If I get the green card, Is it mandatory to work for the original sponsor company for 6 months? or AC21 Portability will work in this case.

What if the following happens when I get the green card

1. Layoff from the sponsor company
2. Sponsor is out of business or compony does not exists
3. Refuse to give employment


Thanks
achu :rolleyes:

Somebody please reply..

Still waiting for receipt.

No. But the employer can file for 1 Year extension if there was a Labour or PERM was filed and it's pending. If I140 is approved and waiting for I485, employer can file for 3 year extension.

cool i really like them all

Just curious.

Who played what role in the reversal of USCIS/DOS decision?

Did IV core / AILA / Congresswoman Lofgren worked together in the back ground? Flower campaign / SJ rally / media - newspaper articles ?

May be all of the above had its unique impact on USCIS's decision to accept I-485?

My Question:-

My answers.
Disclaimer:This is to just give an indication and you should consult an attorney for exact response.


1) Can the new company can file my H1b Extension based upon my previous company I 140 and receipt notice (Because due to delays my H1b is not approved for previous employer)?

Yes

2) What if, The new company don't file AC 21?

AC21 is better for scenario #3 though its not mandatory. You can give the EVL if asked during RFE

3) What if the previous employer cancel my I 140.

Technically you should be OK since 6 months have passed since 485 filing and the new job should be similar to the labor

Let me know what other problem can I face if I transfer my H1b to new employer.:confused:[/QUOTE]

Should be good as long as the new company is good and willing to continue the GC process.

Did you ever used EAD? Just getting an EAD does not mean you were on EAD.
Also AP does not invilidate your H1. If you are working with the H1 sponsoring employer and never used EAD, then you need not worry.

i have the same question,,,but i contributed already:)

Dear Friends,

We recently moved our place and we are now in a new apartment.

We have immigration matters that needs to be updated but we don't know what we should do?
The following are affected
1. EAD
2. H1B
3. AP
4. I 485 related things.

My Ead and Ap has old address and the card also holds the same old address.

Could you please tell me what steps I must initiate to get this straightened out? Do I need a new EAD card? Please help me.

Thanks a ton!

Just go to online address change and do it for all your petitions.

On another note, is it true that people are getting RFEs when they do address change? Has anyone faced this?
