That's right, still AOS.

You can renew within 120 days before the EAD expire.

I just renewed mine and my wife. My daughter is 16 and she's AOS, but don't have EAD. I am planning to apply for her EAD next month.

I guess EAD is personal property not employer property. I had filled my I-485, EAD and AP and my employer does not even know it. On top of it i had completed 180 days and moving to another job.

Are you in H1B or EAD. If in EAD you have to renew it yourself the employer has nothing on your EAD.

Hi,

I have been filed in EB2 with a priority date of Feb 26 2007.
What you guys think about the possibility of my PD getting current this year?
I know that it needs a crystal ball to predict such horrendun things like PD movement, but I am just trying to get a poll on the general feeling about the spillover this year.

Thanks in advance.

An IV member VBKRIS did accurate prediction. Its in donor forum though.

my 140 approved and 485 pending over 180 days. now plan to switch job from a big IT company to university (not study, but work in one of dept at Univ), title and job duty will be similar as before, but salary will be lower due to job industry and location changed. does this impact my 485 final approval? thanks

WOW! they'll accept applications without medical examinations. Wish I had known that before sending my second app. :( Seems like USCIS is more forgiving this time around - you think the flowers had something to do with it?;)

Hope they treat my G-325 oversight the same way and issue an RFE instead of outright rejecting the application. (Fingers crossed)

Can we get any help from these guyes?

I put in my thumbs up for the 3d effect. Very cool. The first thought that comes to my mind is one of those lovey dovey greeting cards with the gold scripted lettering. This is definitely a candidate for that.

And how do we know which country passport you are talking about ?:confused:

My passport is expiring in March. I live in NY metro . Does anyone knows the procedure to renew the passport while in the USA. Please share your experience.

There is a show on nickelodeon that instead of macs has pears.

This thought occured to me this morning and wanted to bounce off. Feel free to trash it if it is not practical.

I have seen somewhat lukewarm response to Fund raising and I feel there is potential to multiply the effect.

If there is a way for IV to match up clients and IV members for part time efforts and the revenue going to IV, I think it will have bigger impact in terms of fund generation.

How it can work?

Assuming core team and extended leadership team at IV has networked into the Industry, it can get pieces of work carved out. These deliverables are those that can be collaborated on, worked on remotely.

These need not be necassarily in IT. It could be in advertising, acocuonting, graphic designing etc.

IV will seek volunteers interested in participating in this initiative and build skills database and try matching up with the services required.

All the revenue from such services will go to IV.

For IVians who volunteer, besides satisfaction of contributing to the cause, industry networking is a nice offshoot.

This may be my opinion, but volunteering is easy if it is something you do as your second nature.

I have seen few non-profit organizations provide services for a fee. I am not sure what restrictions are placed on IV from a taxation point of view. But over time, the fund raising wing of IV could be delivering on some niche solutions. I am sure some sympathetic corporations would be supporting by providing work.

Experts,

While e filing I 131( AP Renewal) and on certify tab its asking Title , can you please advice what details we have to provide.

Thanks in advance.

How much time does it take on an average to generate a FP notice from the receipt notice date and when does the actual FP take place?

yes, in general as per law, you have to file tax returns to both states.

But most of the desi-employers try to use same state that they used first part of year and continue with that till end of year. But in the next year, they start with new state. This happens all the time with most of the desi-employers. There is no problem. You are not skipping any taxes, it is your employer's responsibility. If your employer says, he is working here and paying state taxes, then thats it, nobody can't say/argue anything.


:confused:

It is partly my fault as I should have noticed when I started a new project in end August in South Carolina.

But now looking at my W2 it shows that my employer has been filing taxes in my previous state Missouri for the entire year. How should I go about correcting this? I was in Missouri for 5 months and in South Carolina for the remainder. In which state should I file my tax too?

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Bump.

My current AP expires on 2 Aug 2009. I applied for renewal on 2 May and it was approved on the 20th. But the validity is only till 19 may 2010 and not 2 aug 2010.

I have lost almost 3 months here. Is it normal or a special case that i need to call USCIS?

Please advise.

Thanks

Guru's please help with the following situation: Labor PD: Dec 2002, Labor approved Feb 2005, I-140 approved May 2005, Filed I-485 (because of retrogation) in May 2006 for both me and wife. Got EAD Dec 2006. Got laid off in Feb 2007 from sponsoring company and decided that I have had enough of US immigration waiting and returned to home country for good in April 2007. Changed address to friends US address for USCIS records just to make sure that any communication from USCIS does not get lost in the mail. Was sure that the employer will cancel the whole GC process. But to my suprise on April 21st 2008, received the automated email from USCIS that 485 has been approved. The I-797 approval notice of action was received at my friends US address with a note that the plastic card should arrive within 30 days. This was back in April-May 2008 time frame. Well the plastic card never arrived inspite of phone calls to USCIS to either cancel the 485 or send the card.

Can someone please educate me as to what I should do get the 485 cancelled and stop further processing of my wife's 485. I am afraid that I am stuck in a situation where the USCIS records indicate that I am a permanent resident when they never fully approved my case in time, while I have been out of the US for 2 years and do not intend to return. The US Consulate here has been of no help. Will this have any overhang for future US visits/immigration for me and my wife or for my children who are US Citizens.

Hi

I am transferring my H1 to a firm on full time basis(not consulting company, product based). Currently I am on a project with A and I am going to transfer my H1 to B (which is 6 yrs old, american based company). I have pay slips from past 4 months, and I was on bench for 2 months where I didnt get my pasylips. For transfer I gave my past 4 months pay slips.

I have 2 questions here.

1) With company A, my LCA was not accurate. My LCA was of NY state & I am working in NJ.
Will this create any issue for my H1 transfer with company B which is VA and they have got the approved LCA.

2) Will there be any issue with my 2 months pay slips (which are of July & Aug). Right now I have submitted my H1 transfer with past 4 months payslips (Sep,Oct, Nov & Dec).

Please advice, I will really appreciate your suggestions on this ASAP.

Thanks

I believe my situation is a lot similar to man-woman-and-gc except maybe that I am single. This is what I have achieved so far after sticking to Company A for 4.5 years (this one was pretty big in size; so didn't have to worry about any paperwork):

1) I-140 approved in August 2008 (total of 198 days till date i.e. March 5th 2009)
2) I-485 pending since July 2007 (USCIS receipt date of September 29 2007)
3) EAD valid till October 2010
4) H1-B valid till October 2010
5) PD: Feb 2007

However as a preemptive measure against any potential layoff from company A, I have started looking around. I am preparing a checklist of things that I have to inform the other companies (say company B) so that the transition is smooth. The 2 main things I can think of to talk about with any potential employer are:

1) I DEFINITELY want to maintain my H1-B; so they will have to transfer it. I will be pushing this to make sure I have the flexibility to get a dependent at any time

2) They will have to help me MAINTAIN my GC process. For example any minor changes in the position requirements to show that the job is similar or same. Thats one reason I am primarily looking at similar work profiles

I would GREATLY appreciate if someone from this thread can point me to any location or list out the things that I should be extremely careful about or notify to both my previous employer and the future employer to avoid any future pains in my GC process. A few things that I remember are as follows, but please provide more information that may be missed out here:

1) Do I have to ask Company B to apply for anything relating to my GC? I want to make sure that they know and agree to all costs associated with the paperwork? Dont want to end up paying from my pocket as I have heard in a few cases before

2) I believe since my I-140 is approved for more than 180 days or actually my I-485 being filed for more than 180 days, I am allowed to move, correct?

3) Since my I-140 is approved and I have an EAD, can USCIS/Company A cause it to be revoked? OR it doesn't apply to my case?

4) Do I need to ask Company A to maintain anything? Or just keeping good relations with them is enough :)

Thanks a lot to everyone in advance. Please let me know at your earliest convenience as you never know when opportunities come knocking at your door. Its better to be prepared ;)

Thanks for the reply..I have one question ,can I sponsor my in-laws visa in such situation ?

Thanks for your reply

What if the case is where I want to take up a new full time position and convert my current full time position to part time.....I guess one way to do it would be to transfer H1 to the new employer...wait for an approval and then file for another concurrent H1 for the part time job with the old company..But the problem is I'd have to wait until new approval comes...and also convince both companies to shell out 2k plus in filing fees....does any one have a better alternative ? Thanks again
