To best of my knowledge, a person on EAD (probably not the primary candidate) can work for anyone.. It can be City, State, Federal or McDonald's at any position, part time or full time, provided the job does not involve any government classified information. Jobs involving classified information are only for citizens that too after proper background check.

Primary candidate might work for the government i.e. if job requires skills that citizens don't have and that group has a policy of filing H1's..

I hope this helps.

Two questions for the experts...

I am on J1 visa and have received a home residency requirement waiver. Do the experts here know if I can apply for a J1 visa extension (after receiving the waiver)? I read somewhere that it may not be possible to do so.

Also, are there are any foreign travel restriction on a J-1 visa?

Thanks

Getting a waiver implies that you want to change your status. So renewal may not be a good idea. I would talk to a lawyer about the implications.

H-1B Visa Employer that Does Not Effect a �bona fide termination� under the H-1B provisions Liable for back wages to H-1B Employee.

To employ H-1B visa nonimmigrants, an employer must fill out a Labor Condition Application (LCA). The LCA stipulates the wage levels that an employer guarantees for the H-1B visa worker�s pay. In signing and filing an LCA, an employer attests that for the entire �period of authorized employment,� the required wage rate will be paid to the H-1B nonimmigrant.

An employer need not compensate a nonimmigrant, however, if it has effected a �bona fide termination� of the employment relationship. To ultimately effectuate a �bona fide termination� under the INA, an employer must notify USCIS that it has terminated the employment relationship with the H-1B nonimmigrant employee so that USCIS may revoke approval of the H-1B petition. The employer must also provide the employee with payment for transportation home. Failure to do so may subject the employer to liability for back wages to the H-1B employee.

In Amtel Group of Florida v. Yongmahapakorn, Amtel provided notice to the H-1B visa employee that it had terminated the employment relationship. Amtel Group of Florida v. Yongmahapakorn, 04-087 (ARB 9/29/06). However, the court held that notice alone was not sufficient to end the employer�s obligation to pay the required wages to an H-1B employee. The employer does not effect a �bona fide termination� and, therefore, end its obligation to pay the required wages to the H-1B employee unless the employer has also notified USCIS. The court therefore ordered Amtel to pay the employee the prevailing wage for an internal auditor until the expiration of her authorized period of stay for H-1B employment, plus prejudgment compound interest on the back pay owed and post judgment interest until the employer made full payment.

My father passed away recently and my mother wishes to travel with my wife and I on a visitor visa.

How can she apply for 10 year multiple entry visa? Can she return after the visa expires, after a month? Any experiences anyone can share? Are there any reasons why some visas get denied?

My wife and I are permanent residents and we want to know whether this is of any advantage/disadvantage.

Any pointers/info/help are much appreciated. I looked through the relevant IV threads and yes, they are informative but rules change all the time and I decided to just go ahead and post this thread to get the latest feedback.

Has your mother gotten US visitor visa before? The most important point is to prove to the consulate that your mom will return back from USA. To prove that you need to show some strong ties in your home country. Now that she is a widow it can work against her unless your siblings are still in india. All other things are secondary.
The number of years for the visa can range from 3 months to 10 years and it depends on how strong your mother's case is.

I changed my employer after 9 months of filing 485 using AC21 a year ago and my new employer has reduced my workdays to 3 days a week starting this month. Can I get a second job for 2 days a week with same job description and salary etc ?

We would like people to register in order to send the webfax. registration is very easy and will not take more than 2 minutes.

one more to the list and list can go on....

Hi,

I have a question. I am on H1 and are planning to extend my H1 along with my wife H4. My question is, we both have EAD's and I never use EAD. My wife is looking for jobs on EAD. If she works on EAD, can she still able to extend H4 status?

Thanks
Looking at your profile, your date is current now - hope you don't need to apply for anything and get the GC itself...

Could Anyone pl. reply?

My job description is "xxx mathematician" on the I-140, but what I'm actually doing is developing and supporting scientific programs. The industry is not IT. If I switch back to IT, could it still be "similar job"?
Could anyone give me some suggestion, or recommend a good attorney for this? Thank you!

It will be difficult for you to get approved by USCIS.

My spouse and I have been notified through I-797C notice of action letter of the interview for (form-1-485, application to register for permanent residency). They require us to bring along a checklist of items for the interview including form I-864 that needs to be attached with Tax returns and W2 or certified IRS printouts.

Both of us have been in US for 15 years holding F1 and later H1B visas. The problem is that one of us (who is the dependent) has worked in several organizations without authorization. We would like to know what cause of action to take to mitigate the problem as well as the worst-case scenario in terms of our ability to obtain residency. Any advice, particularly those who know of someone who has faced a similar situation will be appreciated.

how many Days person in question worked unauthorized? When was it? Did you travel outside US after that?
Why are they asking for I-864? It is used usually in family based cases.

McCain Plans a Visit To Rally For Immigration Reform Plan

By DANIELA GERSON - Staff Reporter of the NY Sun
February 17, 2006

A Republican senator is coming to New York to rally support for an immigration reform plan that is winning many fans in immigrant circles. He'll likely arrive before New York's Democratic senators even take a public stance on the divisive issue.

Senator McCain, a Republican of Arizona who will likely run for president in 2008, will headline a town hall meeting and rally for immigration reform expected to attract 1,000 people to Lower Manhattan on February 27. The evening will be an opportunity for him to push the bipartisan bill he is sponsoring with Senator Kennedy, a Democrat of Massachusetts.

Thanks Chantu
Thats ok even if she doesn't have AP. That is perfectly fine. Don't worry her H4 is already stamped and she has time till next year. She is totally safe even if she does not have AP.

Guys,
AILF is seeking plantiffs. Please show some spine & courage. If your employment history and everything on your green card file is clean, volunteer for becoming plantiff. I have a gap in employment otherwise I would have surely volunteered.

Hi mane is Brunoruno I've been in the country since jul of 1998, in April of 2001 my father filed for the life act 245 from president Bill Clinton.. on June of 2003 his I-140 got approved so he filed for his I-485 including the dependents which are my mother and I.

Here is the problem

About 2 two years ago my father received a letter of intent to revoke his I-140, so he sent all the RFE. After 4 months processing the intend they still denied his I-140. with his I-140 denied we filed for an appeal with more evidences, but TODAY we received a letter of his I-140 denied, his appeal and the I-485 as well...

Here is my question.. I was a minor at the time when most of this happen.. Today I am 26 years old, got two American citizens kids, but because his process was denied they denied my I-485 as well.. so now i am being kicked out of the country.. is anything that anybody can help me or give me advice or Hope.. please i am desperate..

Is anything that I could file by my self. The letter says to file a motion to reopen with in 30 days? is it worth it? I am going to be deported right of way?

thanks and god bless you guys

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The H-1B quota is slowing reaching its limit. The so-called advanced degree cap is now full and approximately 53,800 cases have been counted against the 65,000 allocated to the regular cap. USCIS has advised that those wishing to be counted against this year's cap should submit their applications as soon as possible.

A lot has been said about how much longer the H-1B quota has lasted this year. There's a been a lot of speculation about the reasons why the quota is still open. It's pretty obvious that the economic situation has led to a reduced number of filings, but less people talk about the other reason. USCIS is generally pretty skeptical about the H-1B program, believing that many candidates for H-1B are filing marginal cases. This has increased the number of requests for evidence that USCIS has issued this season as well.

While the open cap provides an opportunity for a late-season submission, H-1B applicants and their employers should be well aware of the scrutiny they may have to endure. Working with advocates like the attorneys at Fong & Chun, LLP will ensure that you have a candid opinion before you make the decision to file an H-1B and how you can make a difference in your chances by simply being educated about the H-1B process.

Anyone wishing to file an H-1B case should call the attorneys at Fong & Chun, LLP for a free consultation and realistic assessment of their case. ---ecf

I heard from some source that non citizens cannot donate blood... if this is not true then count me in ....

Citizenship is a non-issue. If I correctly, the only bar on blood donations arise from recent overseas travel (2 years or 4 years?) to one of the 'high-risk' malaria areas in the world.

what info do you need to take to the office? gurus, can someone explain?

You can use EAD with current employer. I think your company has to do the change your I9 form to EAD. You don't need to inform as you are not changing any company.

Appreciate your quick response Vikramy, Thanks
