I understand the plight, but you aint alone bro.. 360K people are along with you. Dont look for shortcuts (in case if both the posts are by one person ) and get what you deserve. Do what you can to educate your friends and contribute.

Friends,
I am working for company A and I have offer from Company B, I thinking of my options, Here is my situation

1. I have approved I140 > 180 days in actually 300 days

2. I have approved EAD

3. mine is labor transfer case and I used an existing labor that matched my job profile

4. Company B is ready to hire me in the same/similar role and are ready to give AC21 employment letter with same details as in my labor.

5. I have approved copy of my labor that was transferred and all other copies related to my case like I140, I485 application and Advance parole etc,....


Please give me some guidance on if I should be accepting the offer from Company B, I am concerned because my labor was transferred from another employee. I have worked for company A for nearly 4 years now and my GC is in process for almost 4 years, labor switch was done like 2 years ago.

Based on this explanation do you see any risk and am I missing anything here, in terms of getting specific documentation from company A application..

please help
bumping it up... - please provide your input

I am in my 8 yr. Have a H1-B approved Untill 2008 Dec

Have a EB3 Approved Labor and 140 from Company A.

Now as of today if I move to Company B ...

Question :

Can I get a 3 yr Extension based on Company A (140 Approved )
that is from june 2007 to june 2010

OR

Do I get my H1-B untill 2008 Dec ?
----

When I move to Company B is there anything that I have be aware off as
I am planning to pally Eb2 and move the PD from company A
My PD : EB3 Jun 2004

Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks

3 year H1 extension from date of application (for example: June 2007 to June 2010).

If you move to Company B, you need to restart GC (i.e. new LC and new 140). One can port PD from old 140 to new I-140, however there is a risk involved if the previous I-140 is revoked or canceled.

BerkeleyBee,
Thanks for opening a seperate thread for this.

Looking at the proceedings for the last 2 days i feel those opposed to immigration r using the delaying tactic to somwhow push out and kill the bill. It also looks like some form of the bill will come out eventually.
There are enough provisions in the bill which will have a significant effect on retrogression when it becomes a law.

As the bill progresses in the senate and in the conference, they may push out the effective date ( for the bill to become a law) to get the house aboard.

I wonder if we can ask for some non controversial portions of the bill such as capturing unused VISA numbers (they must be 90K) to become law immediatly. This will ease retrogression significantly as there will be no country limits for those numbers.

Can we ask any Senator to bring such an amendment.
(remember those who r here illegally and who need to wait for 8 years to apply for G.C can wait an year more. Need i say about those stuck in the Employment based categories.)

Mchundi,

I understand your anxiety. To answer your questions:

There is no chance of having any single set of provisions "become law immediately."

Unfortunately, we have to let this current round of discussions on CIR play out. What should we root for? That amendments to the current CIR that basically gut the bill fail. If the bill survives these amendments then we stand a good chance of succeeding in our efforts.

For strategic reasons, we cannot disclose everything we know about behind the scenes agreements.

Hang in there!

best,
Berkeleybee

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.


What's your point? Ok, this person is knowledgeable and has helped to answer a lot of questions, I get that. What else can he do for IV? Does he have any influence with lawmakers? Can he help us increase our fundraising? If not, he is just one regular member and therefore, you need to stop wasting time trying to focus so much attention on him.

Maybe, he is a valuable addition in terms of answering other members' questions and nudging them to contribute. Beyond that, what more can he do than what the IV core team is doing with the lawmakers? Before you waste everybody's time with multiple posts singing the praises of a person, please carefully analyze how they can benefit the whole organization. Use your brains and don't just be awed by his knowledge!

I agree, you should stay on an H1b as much as you possibly can. The H1b is already approved and you can transfer an existing H1b to a new employer (don't have to get a new H1b). But if you invoke the EAD status, you will forever lose your H1b. If anything goes wrong with your pending I-485 and you are still on an H1b, you still have time to appeal and to work through the issues. But if you are on the EAD at this time, then thats it, you have no time left because your EAD is issued to you as conditional approval of your pending I-485. You need to weigh the risks and benefits in taking a job with an employer who will not sponsor you on an H1b.

Best of Luck
Hi Diptam/NolaIndian,

I have quick questions,

1. I'm waiting for my H1b extenion for employer A and grace period 240 days,getting over
2. can I use EAD (from emp A) till I get my approval for employer A ?.
3. Can switch back to same h1b extension after received it ?.

thanks for ur time to reply.

Yes.. I did contacted to congresman office.

His office informed me that our cases are assigned to adjudicating officer.

damn! sorry to hear that Chris, did you contact any congressmen? as for me, I need to take some vacation, this gc bug has bitten me and its hurting now.:)

I have been in this situation but my work location changed more than 100miles within the same state. My attorney asked me to start another labor.

1. If you think that you will move back one the 485 is adjucated, then you dont have to worry. OTherwise, you have file a new labor. Atleast you are safe since your 140 is approved. You can port your PD.

2. If it is within few miles then it should not affect. Still you have to check with your attorney. Few miles sometimes puts you in different couty or state or even in different country. So the term "Few Miles" is relative one and it is better to check with attorney.

Definitely an idea worth considering. Of late we hvae had too many "new members" who turn out to be 2-3 post wonders - get their questions answered and vanish without a trace. But given the subsidy mentality prelavent among our "educated and skilled" community, I doubt the idea will fly.

Why does USCIS want TB test done? Many countries like India have BCG vaccination administered at childhood thus preventing TB. However, such people will show a false positive if administered a skin test for TB.

This is causing many Indians to go for a chest xray. I feel this is a ridiculous requirement.

True, however...

USCIS SOP clearly states that a TB SKin test is required. Last year during the July fiasco, I remember Murthy had an article that said if you ONLY submit a chest x-ray, you will still get a RFE (despite chest x-ray being normal) for not performing the skin test.

Ironical, isn't it, how and why the IOs suddenly decide to go by the book! FIFIO is also a part of the SOP, but you know the rest... ...!

Hey there, I have a three year bachelor's (from Australia) and an American CPA. I believe the two can be evaluated to an Ameircan Master's equivalent. Please, check with your lawyers. It should be possible.

CPA is certification not a degree so i don't think it can be evaluated towards a degree equivalence:confused:

FYI for others -

Hi,

Would like to throw some more ideas;
You should keep in mind that with this economy there is no guarantee of your job (my personal experience).
If you want to stay in this country and that is one of your foremost desires/aim
then in my opinion it is always better to aim for the GC and then do whatever you have to do.
If you have option of going back to your home country and do not mind (due to job loss or other situation) then by all means go for career.

Good Luck.

it is usually 6 to 9 months now, i guess u can wait for some more time and then approach senators office...Good Luck

What is strange ?? He used PP in June when it was still available. USCIS suspended PP only for new cases to process what they already had.

I can't wait to get the chance to upgrade mine .... not that I will do anything with it for a while (other than H1B extension) but is nice to have the approval in your pocket.
:rolleyes:

Dude, please read completely. He said there was no update on USCIS case status check online but he got approval notice. Isnt that strange?

There is nothing complicated here.

Put your wifes status as of the 485 filing date. Means if you are filing in July/August this will be H4.

You can travel in H4. Also no problem in changing status to H1 after october 1st. (She have an H1 approval doesnt mean she is NOW in H1 status. Her change of status is approved from Oct 1st). Please remember that if she doesnt start working in H1 on October 1st, technically, she will Neither be in H1 / H4 status on October 1st. Means she might fall under "adjustee" status.

Assuming that your wife starts in H1 status from Oct 1st, there is no problem in travelling in H1. (she might need to get an H1 visa stamp though).

The other option is she can fall under adjustee status and travel in AP, work in EAD.

Also after 485 approval H4 status doesnt get "illegal" it just gets adjusted.
(Well...... nobody can have two statuses at the same time anyway).


Better check with your lawyer. Becuase when you apply for 485 and get approved your wife's H4 status becomes illegal. So don't know exactly about H1 or H4 on advanced parole. Lawyer is the best person for your case.

All,
so Please dont jump at this rule , think about it its good for us , I m sure guys who filed their labor late 2007/early 2008 will be thinking oh what happens if July 07 happens again , but trust me thats very unlikely ..Also your 140 will be approved way a head before you apply for 485.

On the Postive side ...Even if July becomes current , people are still good to apply concurrent. Because this rule will come into effect only from Aug.

Cheer up.

Anotehr question in thsi regard, say ur I-94 expired and you applied for and got h1 renewal, and the new I-797 has the new I-94 in it, so we cut it from there and staple it to our passports ???

And when we leave the country we surrender both the I-94s ???
