I think the ability to get an emergency 90 day EAD at the local field offices if they delayed more than 90 days is still there as it is there on the USCIS web page. No???

Hi Pappu,
Please PM me your email id and I'll send that to you today.

It depends on the I-140 you requested USCIS to consider while you aplied for I-485. There is some process called interifling, where you can later request USCIS to use the I-140 with better priority date against the I-485 so you can avoid multiple I-485.

if they are going to continue to be in closets.

Thanks for the response.

One more thing, so when I join Company B and they file for a new H1-B for me and also LC under EB-2, I should be able to use the experience that I had with Company A..???? Is this right..?

Thanks again.

MY I485 is current for past 18 months on EB1, soft LUD End Feb 2011 on EAD & AP, Any reason why or just normal computer maintainence.

Dear Friends

I have a friend who is currently on H1B, currently on vacation in home-country, and stuck in PIMS verification.

1. he has H1B from current employer (valid till 2009) - Employer1.
2. another H1B from previous employer - Employer2. Previous employer ready to hire him again.
3. His spouse filed for his GC and his EAD, AP has already been received. Spouse has approved PERM, pending i140 and pending AOS.

He came on H4, converted to H1B (with Employer2), then switched to Employer1. Then went on vacation, and appeared for H1 re-stamping interview with i797, documents provided by current employer (Employer1).

Now he is stuck in PIMS verification, and the current employer want him to join asap and threatening to terminate her employment.

Assuming that current employer does not revoke H1B, but terminates him, can you help answer following doubts -

[A] validity of such a stamp on passport -
Q1. Will the visa stamp (with current employer) be vaild?
Q2. Previous employer hasn't revoked the H-1B, will that still be usable for jobs, re-entry?

[B] Re-entry
Q3. Inspite of termination, can the stamp and i797 of the current employer valid for re-entry?

Q4. Should he rather use i797 of the previous employer + passport (with stamp of current employer) for re-entry? Previous employer can provide offer letter and job description etc.? Is this route valid and will they allow re-entry on this?

Q5. Though he wants to continue on H-1B, but if his current situation may result in violation of any provisions, should he rather use Advance parole to re-enter?

THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE FOR ALL YOUR RESPONSES!!!!

i dont like where the money text is. should be in one of the corners.

This is I am assuming you have given USCIS your NJ address, every Lawyer has to have License in the State he practices, if your CA Lawyer has a License to practice in NJ you can always call him to represent you. If this helps.
The work around would be hire a local Lawyer and let your CA lawyer brief your case to him I know it will be expensive, but it will help you in long run.

It really help if you are close to end of the time. I got it in 2 weeks.

My friend will come from India on H1B first time to Atlanta Air port this weekend. His H1B was approved for year 2008 and his stamping was done in early 2009. His H1B is from small desi consulting company. What kind of questions he may face? Any inputs will highly appreciated.

My friend did not face any issues at POE .

Guys I need your expertise and valuable answers on this:

I have an approved labor and approved I-140. Based on this I've got extension for 3 more years. I have a contract-hire opportunity which requires me to be a consultant for "X" months. I know I can transfer my H1 to another company. But my question is, can I transfer my h1 again to join the client after "X" months.

I am assuming you are already in 7th or beyond year of H1. You can transfer again if your old I140 is not revoked OR you get a new I140 approved while you are a consultant.

Hi EAD2009 !
I would like to know about your F1 Visa Stampoing interview experience for UNVA adoctoral degree ? I'm in the same boat and need to go for stamping next week in Chennai. Pls pls do reply, that would be really helpful.

Thanks,

Last year, When I filed I-485/EAD/AP, I wrote the check in favor of DHS (abbreviated) and it was accepted.

Folks,

I got a RFE asking for a copy of birth certificate and bio info. I had sent my BC and bio info before while applying for 485 last august. I was hurrying up my lawyer to send the response as soon as possible.

My lawyer emailed me that since there is a spelling difference in the way my name is shown in my BC and in all other docs, I will be subject to additional security checks and there is no point in hurrying. Is this true or is my lawyer using this as a delay tactic ?

My name in my BC ends with .......iam and in all other docs ends with .....iyan. Should this cause a problem ?

Please share your thoughts and help me.

Lawyers can usually justfy some minor spelling mistakes and answer to RFE. Usually USCIS accepts BC name.

Based on inputs from my lawyer, there is some delay if such descrepency is there - he said that he can reply to such RFE and apart from delay there is no other issue.

My friend had applied for GC through B (never worked, PD-2004/EB2, 140 approved and 485 more than 6 months) and he was continuing with company A on H1B.
Company A was laying him off. He tried to go to company B. But Company B was getting folded.
He went out and got a better offer from company C. He had two choice. Apply H1B transfer from A to C or use AC21.
He chose to use AC21 and started with C. Lawyer explained the situation with AC21 info to USCIS.

Now the best part. HE GOT GC last month.

What is so surprising about giving up citizenship of a country you don't live in?

The General rule is You are eligible for H1B extn if the following conditions are met

a) Labor applied on your behalf atleast 1 yr prior to maxout date. You will be eligible for 1 yr extensions

b) Labor and I-140 approved in that case it will be 3 yrs extensions

Now I was in similar situation where in i applied for labor in 6th yr, Labor got cleared in 2 months, I-140 got cleared in 2.5 months so now i am eligible for 3 yr extn.

These days Labor certifications are taking a bit longer time (Atlanta is the only place they are doing it ) So it may take more time. Also one another thing needs to be considered is if there is any RFE then it takes longer.( Few cases pending beyond a year)

Do a research on various RFE and do your paperwork in much more details you will probably end up without any RFE on your case

thank u all. I will do the education evaluation. No need of taking risk/getting RFE

This is where the lawyer comes in. Or someone who has been through this can describe his experience.

As long as your resume and experience letters match you with the Labor, you are good. eb3 is less riskier than eb2.

For peace of mind, you can get a second opinion from another attorney by having him match your profile with the substituted Labor.

Hello All,

Can someone please help if they can? This is an urgent matter .

Thanks in advance.
