I don't think its a good time to change jobs. There are many who are looking for a job after getting laid off. I think till the 2nd quarter of 2010 just keep your job. I may be wrong too.
the best thing is to keep a open eye all the time and whenever there is a opening in any big project with a good pay hike then move.
If you have EAD then you don't have to worry about H1B transfer.

Hi gurus, Please advise

I have an approved I-140 and july 485 filer, also have valid h1 till 2010.

I work for company X and have an offer from company Y.

What are my best options now
1. Transfer H1 to Y - if yes what impact would this have on my GC processing?
should the new H1-B Job code match with my Labor Certification?

2. Use EAD - the complication here is my desi employer filed my labor
as an IT Manager which i am not and i am not sure the new employer would
give me the matching offer letter.

Thanks,
Krishna:confused:

You can join Y either on H1 or EAD. It does not matter. In order you to get GC using AC21, the job offer from Y should be the similar occupation of what X sponsered you. That means it should be a managerial occupation. If Y offers you "not similar" occupation of X, your 485 may get denied, irrsepective of how you joined y (EADorH1). The bottomline is the new job should be similar to the LC job.

There is another thread where the same topic was discussed earlier: http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=2095

Sorry to scare you in my previous reply....I did not read your question properly....
Since you are from a Non-Retrogressed Country, you may be eligible to apply for AOS. As you mentioned, you may apply I-140, I-485, I-131, and I-765 all together without any hassle. Make sure your attorney files all your applications with the right fee, since the fee structure has changed recently.
Sorry about my previous post though...
Good Luck!!

Again your LC approval has no direct connection with what you are being paid currently. LC is for future job so I find it unlikely that DOL will factor your current salary in any way. They may consider your employer's ability to pay the stated salary on LC based on their finacial situation but your current pay stub should not matter.

Does that answer your question?

Yes, it heps a lot! Thank you! And thanks to mann7 as well.

Hi attorneys,

I came to US on L-1B visa with expiry date of Nov-28-2009. My same company this year filed H-1B with COS using Premium processing. My H-1B and COS has been approved now.

Q#1: My question is that can I travel to & back from India from Aug-2-2009 to Aug-19-2009 and enter Port of entry on my L-1B visa?

Q#2: When I come back I will enter on L-1B visa, will this abandon my approved COS and H-1B?

Q#3: If I travel based on Q#1 and Q#2 will I still be automatically converted to H-1B on Oct-1-2009? Actually I prefer to switch on to H-1B from Oct-1-2009???

Q#4: Since I will get a new I-94 when I enter USA on Aug-19-2009 what happens to my COS I-94. The number may be conflicting. Is that a problem?

Q#5: Next year that is Dec-2010 I have travel plan to India again, which I-94 will I submit when I leave USA?

Q#6: Next year (Dec 2010) when I leave for India, I would need visa stamping? Will this travel in Aug-2009 affect it? Can the Visa Officer just make it an issue?

Q#7: Will I have any out of status issue in the future that may jeopardize, any future visa stamping or my GC process by traveling in August 2009?

If your case is I-140 + I- 485 applied at the same time, then word on the street is they will process both at the same time rather than processing I140 first then wait for visa dates and process I485, hope you are already aware of this rumor/speculation or truth.

oye chappan... ever been to indore?
there is a small shops complex there called chappan dukaan... very famous hangout place for all indorians... just remembered :)

Chappan Dukaan is too good...even non indorians have heard about it...
I just had a morning dream that EB3 will be current in coming months.
May all EBs get current and all desis can switch jobs/companies/professions....
Good Luck to everybody!

United Nations, Pls help Immigration Voice.
we know your capability.

BTW, sorry for some members rude behaviour towards you.
Probably they may not know about your role in
immigrationportal.com and they may not even know how you helped lot of guys with I140 ability to pay issues.

Hi Guys, pls encourage good people like United Nations to help us.
He will be good asset for us to utilize his time and service.
He has an amazing knowledge in immigration matters.

Need not to say, knowledge is power, in present era.

Here is the answer! Your filing date was July2, 07. If you filed with NSC, in Feb they had moved their processing dates to July 18th. So your case was assigned to officer for review and he called for interview!.

Then he made a decision: Case approvable pending visa availability!

Hope that helps!

Yes, what Vinnysuru said makes sense completely and seems to be the apt explanation for your case. I have a question though if I may ask?
What did the Immigration officer ask you and what were your answers? Any input from you will be appreciated by all of us if someone here gets an interview call too :)

I receive a confirmation for Address change after submitting online form and which I received some where around that time.

My EAD and Advance Payroll are approved but I did not receive Adv Payroll yet, waiting on it for 15 days.

it's advance parole not advance "payroll"

Good Job Mark.

Your PD does not have to be current (it changes from month to month), if it was current at some time in the past, that will be enough.

Fight for your rights!

Mail sent by CIS has a endorsment on their envelopes "Return Service Requested". USPS does NOT forward mail with such endorsements.

Even if online address change thru AR-11 has not taken effect, post office will forward your mail to your new address for 12 months - make sure you fill out change of address form with postal dept immediately

seems like flower by flocke button is lacking symmetry, or is it a design in its own sense.. But its beautiful.
Its hard to vote for just one!

We have discussed this issue earlier on this forum.

IV really wishes that this is possible but the truth is that when CIR has already been passed in the Senate, there is no way that Frist (or any other senator for that matter) will allow for the introduction of another immigration bill now.

So if we need to proceed with a legal immigrant's only bill, we will atleast have to wait till CIR dies. So don't get your hopes high now.


Question for Foks asking for a separate bill : I understand from Admins answer above , this may not be possible now.

My question is , separting this from CIR will QUICKEN the proceedings with respect to our issues?

Question for Admin : Was this poll started by IV?

BTW I have voted in favor of a separate bill assuming it will quicken things. Thanks.

Please confirm this .... couple of things USCIS grants for professional with this situvation

1) He can file a petition saying that his skill sets are still needed here and are in demand and request to grant him X no of months of stay (I belive that it is 3 Months )

2) Even if he is out of status for less 180 Days it is ignored by USCIS during the process of GC9I know this not relavant to your question, but just in case if you are not aware

3) USCIS looks for just the pervious month pay slip .... Say he is OO job June 1st week .... He can file for the H1B Transfer untill end of July ....

Ofcourse he would be safe if the pervious H1B is not canceled .... As he reigned he should be in OK terms with his employee

Hope this helps and Good Luck to him !

I mean i filed without both of those. Theyare required in the 140 phase , not in 485.

But keep them handy - in case they wants mail by next day air


if you are filing for your spouse and if you are sponsoring your spouse, you have to show evidence of income.. There is a form that you fill with it,.

hi, thanks for info. But one more question. Yes, now and then a date in Oct' 2006 is showing up. But, it will take time to fill all the forms after i proceed. What are the chances that i will get that date when other people are competing in real-time? Please post a reply.

if my wife is already in US on H4 do i need to file a I-134 ,I-864 too ??

Also do i need to add my tax return, my I20 and my paystubs with application. She just came into country so she does not have any tax rerurn of her own nor any I20 or any paystubs of her own.. Please suggest.

Thanks
-M


Yes, its good to file I-134 especially when she is on H4. Paystubs and tax returns are not required documents though a lot of people tend to submit them. Just an employment letter from your employer would suffice. You dont need to include your I-20 with your wife's application....However, do include her medicals, though its not part of the initial evidence......

Any updates?? Bump up
