:p Yes....,
You can definitely change your Employer and continue working H1. You can even port your I140 Priority date to your new GC process. Just you need to have Receipt Number of your I-140. You don't even need to have I140 Approval notice.

Its better to take an advise from Reputed Immigration Attorney. They will do everything in your favour.
:D

The other day, three guys, a Pakistani, an Indian, and a Czech, and one Serb girl (originally from the beautiful city of Belgrade) met the staff of their American lawmakers, to tell them about the problems faced by the EB-immigrant community due to backlogs and insanely low visa numbers for EB-greencards.
You can't get more American than this.

My experience with the meetings with the lawmakers' staff has been very positive. I approached it with nervousness; however, the staff has ALWAYS been extremely polite, sincere and encouraging. They listen to us, and engage in meaningful discussions and question answer sessions with us. Quite often, we are told that this was the first time that our point of view was being told to them. We ask them what advice they have for us. And they all ALWAYS tell us to (a) talk to other lawmakers and (b) call them frequently, as they provide daily totals and tallys on pro-vs-anti calls on different issues to their bosses.

So folks. We still have time. We have a few weeks. Please (a) join together and form state chapters, (b) educate yourself, (c) call the lawmakers offices (d) meet the lawmakers and (e) do all this within the next few days.

Too often we take a fatalistic approach towards issues. Other times, nervousness and fear renders us incapacitated. Be proud of the fact that we are a diverse group of high-skilled immigrants. We are educated professionals. We are doctors, engineers, scientists, and other professionals.

It is our duty, as intelligent and educated professionals, to tell the lawmakers that we are facing problems, and to request them to fix those problems, since they have the power to do so.

Thanks for responding...thats what I thought but was not sure...Thanks again for confirming.

Ok. Thanks.

it is fine to have both I-485s filed and pending - generally speaking, if one gets approved, USCIS should deny the other (as a LPR you will no longer be eligible to adjust your status to lpr).

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

I have a friend in South Asia who wants to accept credit card payments for his website. There is no way for him to link paypal or any payment gateway to his bank account. I'm in the US with an H1B and I know i'm not allowed to start a business or even have a merchant account since this qualifies as active investing.

Is there anyway I can help him? I'm not interested in making any money off of this.
I know I could open a paypal account and point it to my bank account. That way, as long as the transactions are < $20000/yr , it won't be reported to the IRS and all I have to do is pay tax on the interest from my bank account. What could be potential problems with this approach? If this is illegal, I would refrain from doing it.

Can someone suggest a better way? My friend is willing to pay part of the transaction fees to whatever service he has to use.

Hello,

I (Indian citizen) am on H1B and wife is on H4 (Canadian citizen). If we plan to get some franchisee and invest money from our savings, will she be eligible for E2 visa and work as an owner?

Thank you!

Bumping this thread up...

I would appreciate if an attorney on this forum could please chime in on this query. Thanks!

Is more than 6 yrs of IT experience from a non-computers engg background good for applying for EB2 position? Can you comment from your experience.


I have similar situation. I am getting an already approved labor for gc processing. it needs 5yrs progressive exp and bachelor degree in engg. Now I do have nearly 5 years at the time of application and now (9 years). have same degree work for same company as the company applied and also match in experience almost 100%. Is there any risk in I140 approval.

Guys
i got a LUD on 140( 9/21) after 2 weeks of 485/EAD/AP RN ..

all the RN from SRC...

any one on the same boat

Consider filing a complaint with AILF. But do so at your discretion, as relationships are also *VERY* important in these matters. Better not to burn to many bridges.

Along with other documents, include a copy of I485 Receipt Notice and EAD card.

Did any body Tried that earlier, Like instead of sending the H1-B sent "I485 Receipt Notice and EAD card" for parents Visa ?

Sorry to read about your mother's problems. As the other posters have said, please do NOT use any agency, office, notario, or other service that claims to be able to help unless they are really attorneys or a charity. Be especially careful of notarios - these are not lawyers in the US.

Your mother would not be eligible for TPS unless she was in the US before Jan 12, 2010. Hopefully you are a US citizen and can petition for her permanent residence (green card)

Actions speak louder than words. If they are deeply concerned then they should be taking steps forward to make something happen.

If I dont transfer my H1B for a couple of years then what happens. So for example I get a job today and start working on EAD and there for a 2-3 years just by renewing EAD via my husband. Three years down the lane I want to get back on H1B due to problems with I485. Is it possible to get on H1B at point in time because I still have three years remaining on it. WOuld the cap be applicable? In addition, if we find out there is a problem with I 485, does INS give me some time like 1-2 months to make that change in status that is from AOS to H1B?

If you are in an apartment complex that offers cash bonus for referrals, ask the manager to apply it towards the rent and not give you a bonus. That way, it is not counted as income but a reduction in rent for the next month and avoids all taxation issues crap.

OK.

Is there anyone who has the same status on AP and actually received the approval notice?

Thanks.

Same status for about a week. No letter yet 10/30.
