I Have my EAD card but my spouse was in India when i applied for EAD. That mean she doesn't have EAD card rite now.

Can she get EAD or SSN?

Pls help.....

This would help people who have used the H1 to the sixth year, and cannot recapture days to apply extension before they can use the 365 days clause from Aiyates memo. I know few

Predierock,

Can you please adivse on the following:

My wife is currently on H4.

She has a H1b approved for 3 years to start working on October 1, 2007.

Now, she gets a EAD (though my I-485) to start working on September 1, 2007 valid for 1 year only.

She has a job and the company would like her join asap.

Questions are:

1. Will her EAD (I-485 pending) cancel her H1B approval for the company?

2. Can she work only Sept 1 - Spet-30 on EAD and then fall-back on her H1B (Oct 1 - later) for next 3 years?

We know that H1b is approved and all set for 3 years but Green-Card-EAD is only valid for 1 yr only and sometimes renwal takes time and $$ and bit riskly. So we cant decide if we should stick to her alreay approved H1b or fall back on EAD.

Please advise folks.

misdemeanors can be CIMT's if they involve theft or dishonesty. a single misdemeanor might qualify under the petty offense exception, but because your son now faces a second conviction, the petty offense exception won't apply. One question: are you a naturalized US citizen? If so, your son might actually be a US citizen as well.
does not the INTENT to cause harm or INTENT to steal decide whether its a CMT?
He has on record 1 criminal mischief 4th and 1 petty larceny - he was with other boys when THEY joy rided snowmobiles - he did not steal anything just tagged along with them and rode with them but he did not intend to steal or take anything - both the criminal mischief and petty larceny charges are tied into this incident:
His latest charge will be reduced to a simple TRESSPASS from Burglary 2nd we know that as the DA has already indicated that to us:
So does this information make any difference to your opinion?
I thank you for responding!
He is a green card holder since December 2005 and eligible for filing naturalization in November next year but we have been physically present in the USA from 1999 gained entry legally and changed status while here:
He has no priors to any of this:
He has no convictions in any other country:
His mischief and petty larceny charges for the snow mobile incidents were charged as a youthful offender and sealed supposedly:
He is 19 in November this year:
He has never left the USA for any period of time or vacation or anything

^^^^ :)

To remain in status, please file asap. large companies, do revoke H1 after layoffs.

If you don't get laid off, you can just ignore the H1 you filed. its also a challenge to get H1 sponsors these days.

My wife had recently changed her status from H4 to H1 and had applied her SSN and got it.

So i dont think there's any new rule.

if you have a valid I94 then it should not cause any issue
Sreedhar where did you apply for SSN ? ie which city ?

Mr.gnutin or any other expert,

Can you please confirm whether I have to stick with the company for 180 days after the 140 approval, if i am planning to change the job to port the Priority date?


Thanks

No need to stick with company for 180 days after I-140 approval to keep your PD.

The 180-days thing is if you're filing I-485 along with I-140. If this is the case with you then wait 180 days, get your EAD and invoke AC-21 to change employers.

I'm getting fed up with people on this forum who assume that India is the only country from which people immigrate to the US, and always only mention the India dates when talking about cut off dates, and assume that are the only dates people want to talk about.

Even though India is by far the country of birth with the most high skilled immigrants to the US, it still takes up less than half of the number of high skilled immigrants. By some discussions going on on this forum, you would think 95% of the high skilled immigrants come from India.

To my understanding, if a person holding EAD is allowed to change jobs, he is not really tied to any particular employer. But the job description according to the I-485 form should hold true to anything you do till it is approved.
I am not sure if you can take a leave of absence, though. My hunch, would be 'no'. I am also in a similar situation and looking for some advice. Let me know, if you find an answer.

Thank You.

All the gurus on this forum,
I have this questions and I have feeling some of you are considering doijng this;;;;

My I-140 and 485 was concurrently filed in Dec2002. I-140 got approved. 485 is pending.
As i decided that this GC process should not hold me captive i went ahead made plans for my MBA education. Now I have an admission from INSEAD france for classes starting 2007.
IF my employer gives me Pesonal Leave of Abscene for one year....without pay
can I take off for studies without impacting the GCprocess?

Since I will be moving out of my residenec should I inform the INS of a new address friends) so that they can send EAD/AP etc..

I would love to connect to anyone who is similar situation......

PLEASE respond
:(

I have a hypethetical situation

1. Say in the election Dems get both house and Senate AND
2. No compromise happens in CIR at Lame Duck Session too. Also
no SKILL passes too AND

3. New winners Sworn in and its congress controlled by Dems.

Now what is the status of the CIR that was passed in the senate and
that house bill passed? Does it expire or go annul? Or can these
new members come a compromise on that? What could be the attittude of the congress member towards it? It would be really interesting to know the
legal sides and political attittude of lawmakers to it.

thanks

By contributing monetarily to IVs lobbying efforts.

IV keeps monitoring the newly presented bills in both houses of Congress through its lobbysists and attempts to attach increase to EB quotas to such bills. These efforts require lobbying the US Congressmen and lobbying requires money.

Since IV has limited number of recurring contributors and one-time contributors it has a limited budget. Also, this being an election year chance of any major immigration-related bill passing is remote (immigration being a politically sensitive subject ). Hence IV has been lobbying for Administrative fixes, in the interim, which are more achievable.

If all the IV members become regular contributors, IV will have surplus funds so that it can lobby hard and with more lawmakers to include EB GC increase in all possible legislations.


I checked the full text of this bill, it does not have anything else besides temporary quota increase for H-1B.

How can we actively participate in this process? How can we find out about such bills when they are still in the works and make suggestions to the lawmakers to include relief for EB issues?

Why are you so scared of posting by saying that this problem is with you. Why do you have to bring your friend in. If it is really for your friend, then why cant he come and ask himself.

I wish I had a friend like you who will find answers to my immigration problems ....
I am also your friend as you are also member of IV and we all are fighting for the same cause.

I will also help you if there is a need and if I can.

Please check my profile. I have filed my 485 on July 2nd and one of the few who was benefited thru IV flower campaign
I have been a member in IV for a while and I have also made contributions.
I am not afraid to speak out, Please reply if you know the answer.



Thanks once again

This is going nowhere... Guys what are prospects of Grassley winning the Nov elections...I hope he looses

Hi All,
I am thinking of looking for other job options. I want to know if you any one of you have changed jobs on EAD and your experience with the whole issue.

I changed jobs on EAD

1. Did you find have any issues when getting 485 approved.

My PD is still 5 years or so away from being current. :)

2. Did you file AC21.

No. But hired same lawyer who had filed the initial case. If current employer revokes I-140 (through same lawyer) might send AC-21 letter.

3. Does the job responsibility has to meet 100% word by word.

In my case its about 80% the same. In general its better if its as close as possible.

4. Has any one you applied for EAD extension on your own.

Not done yet, but will do this year. Its a simple enough form

5. Has any one got an RFE after changing the Job on EAD and submitting AC21. if so what kind of questions do they ask.

have been looking at immigrationportal.com for older-timers experience with AC-21 and no one that I know of has go an RFE wrt proving new job is similar to old one.

Is there any quota on filing the I 140s? My friend requested his employer for upgrading his 140 and he says that the attorney mentioned that the quota for I 140 is already full. I don't think it is right. Any inromation please.

There is no quota. The employer can file for I-907 diectly without invoving the lawyer. The attorneys are not likely to help you now since they are swamped. I'd say ask the employer to file today. Else wait a month!

Awesome, it worked great....god this forum is great. w00t :)

Congratulations

Not sure when the movie got released, but last weekend I got to watch "Outsourced" - It was fun !! I would recommend it, a little laughter on this tense topic.

Absolutely right, how otherwise do you explain that they issued card production for people with PD's in 2004, (Dates not current in June) on July 2nd and in an hour and then said the visas are unavailable.


NO FIFO whatsoever.

They just saved themselves by retracting the VB of JULY, or else they would have faced lawsuits, and investigation which would have shown all irregularities and fraud.

One of my buddies got his GC approved yesterday and his Priority Date is June 2005, EB2 India. I am here waiting since 2004 March to file for my I485. There are no methods to USCIS Madness.

Does it required 6 months pay stub (till Dec 29th -- for July 2nd files) or after 180 days we can move to any company whether you have last month pay stub or not. Generally most of the companies hold 15 days amount.
