Ya thats true but these people must return these GC's as they were processe by mistake, anyday they figure it out these guys will be out of US ....

My limited understanding about the GC process is that from the day I-485 is filed, a person may change his/her job only after 180 days or more, and of course by filing AC 21. Also, in case the I-485 does not get approved within the 180 days after filing, then how can a person change a job without having an EAD.
A person can EAD only once I-485 is approved? Is that correct. Please throw some light on the above points. Thanks in advance.

There is nothing like filing AC21, you may or may not inform uscis about changing job/new employer

Once your I-485 is approved you DONOT need EAD. Infact with approval of I-485-- EAD becomes defunt/invalid. You will need EAD based upon pending I-485 to switch jobs...

I live in New jersey and send my EAD renewal to Nebraska based on my I-485. When i read the instructions, I found out that the application has to go to Texas based to the state where i am in now.

I would appreciate if anyone had same experience and share it with us.

Thank you

Is letter from employee needed for filing I-485 for my spouse. I filed I-485 under EB3 last August and it's still pending. She takes my PD and my PD will be current in May. I have an old letter from my employer when filing my I-485 last August but was wondering if a new letter from employer is needed or the old one would do.

Thanks in advance.

does not hurt to get a new one.

It's only you who will receive the card, not lawyer.

ah, found it. http://vector.tutsplus.com/articles/theory/six-things-i-think-about-when-im-mutating-a-rabbit/

inspiration is one thing...visual plagiarism is another.

If I-140 is approved and priority date is current is it possible to keep on extending H1B for couple of years without applying for I-485? I am asking this quetion because my employer is not allowing me to apply for I-485 as my I-140 is pending. It looks like he want to use me for couple of years on H1b.
Better do not trust your employer, it may turn out to be an infinite loop. Try to convince your employer by all means to file for I485. You never know what your employer really means by "couple of years".

Folks!

Like me all July filers would get off the H1-B hook come this Jan. I am assuming everybody would use newly gained freedom of EAD to switch employer or jobs. So far, not many employers like to get involved in H1 hassels ( espcialy in midwest), so recruiters had good business by hiring engineers at low rate and syphoning off majority share of the pay check.

But now, with 180 days (less than 75 days) limit over, all EAD holders are free to switch employers of jobs ( I know in same or similar capacity ... but that's not the point). The point is what would be the effect on current business contracting companies have? What would be the effect of EAD on their cost models and consistent revenues?

Not saying they would cease to exsist, as H1B's would still need them. But isn't new and bold demands from engineers like me going to affect their margins? ...What do you think?


It is true with Tri State hiring agencies also, all top tier firms with direct clients are trying to reduce layers by directly enrolling you on EAD - so come January - we will see a lot of people jumping.

Thsi is healthy for the candidate. H1b shops will have their own ways of doing business and will deifnitely see some challenge

Have anybody stamped their H1 visa in UAE?
I heard a lot of people stamping in Canada and Mexico - but not any other countries.

Any issues going to other countries?

320k make majority sitting and hatching.
800k will make majority jumping and fighting.
what is real number again??

One number for you : "300" !

Hi,

My Priority date is May 02 2007.

I file 485 and 140 in August.

My Grandfather is a US citizen. He filed immigration petition for my Dad in 1996 and I was part of it. Before priority date become current I was age out.

Can I port my Earlier(Family Base) PD to new application(Employment Base) ?

Thank you,
Rashesh

Hi, Thanks for replying. Just verifying - is the tax number the same as employer identification number (EIN)?

Nothing written in stone but from anecdotal evidence.. NO
They process 485s according to RD.
Approval only comes after PD is current though

Generally attorneys charge a retainer fee. What that means is they are willing to represent you regarding any issues with a case. Some services are covered with retainer fee and they may charge additional fee based on any extra work. For Example AC21 Retainer fee is around 750/- where they submit a G28. Then for any RFE they generally charge in the range of 250$.

Thanks for the reply. I understand the retainer fee but I guess what bothers me is why the attorney wasn't up front about the situation or simply charge for a consult then going ahead with a retainer when we simply thought there was something more involve to do with my case at the time.

Its the way that the situation was manipulated to get us to retain this attorney for further use when at the time it wasn't needed that feels fraudulent.

Thanks again!

:mad:
I just got me H1B approval Notice and copy of I0129 petition. There is nothing wrong with approval bu I notice few things and have few concern questions to the group if some one had similar experience in the past:
1. Passport number was not correctly typed in form I-129 (however copies passport were sent along with the forms by immigration dept)
2. My Alien number does not show up in 797A approval notice as I have pending 485.
3. The I-94# on passport card does not match with the one on new approval notice.

Now My questions is :

Do I need to get this passport#(1) typo fixed now or its ok?

Is it ok not have A# updated in H1B Approval Notice? My wife's H4 have her A#.
Do I need to get my I-94# matched with the one I had in my previous notice and A/D card stapled in passport?

All this happened due to mistakes commited by our Immigration/attorney.Now she is not ready to listen and asks me to call customer service as she thinks its not her problem.

Any suggestions/experience are apreciated.

Thanks

07/12/2007: Truth to Rumor of Resrictionist Senators Having Influenced USCIS Decision of July 2007 EB New Filing

There is an unconfirmed source of information that a couple of restrictionist U.S. Senators influenced the USCIS decision to reject July applications for their alleged fear that since July 2007 Visa Bulletin would open a flood gate of hundreds of thousands of 485 applications, the public might take it as the government giving out a sort of "amnesty" to these floods of people. We hope that there is no truth to such rumor. However, if it is true, it is indeed shocking that individual legislators could interfere with the government process on "personal" basis and without the formal legislative process of public notice and participation. We urge the U.S. Senate to get to the bottom of this rumor and take appropriate action for correction under the Senate rules.


Repost. Please close this thread.

Thanks

i know what you're talking about - this obsession w/pre-adjudication is ridiculous!i for one support dismantling the current vb based 485 filing lottery system that utterly makes no sense whatsover! let people file 485 as and when 140 is approved and get rid of this cynical vb based filing -

Hi,
Does anybody know as to how long it takes to receive the H1B receipt # when its being processed in premium processing?

Mine was premium processing. 15 days to receive receipt and another 15 days to receive approval.
