Hi Guys,
Just some few questions. Me and my wife are in separate H1 visas. I got my 140 and 485 applied thro my compnay and my wife has gotten her EAD and AP. She is thinking of switching jobs now with her EAD. I understand that her H1 status expires if she does that.
Here is my predicament. I know it's far fetched. but wanted to throw it out to get some opinions.
say my wife quits her current job and takes up another position with her EAD and then 6 months down the road i dont get my 140 approved and i'm fired. Here are the list of questions i have
1) the EAD expires october so we have to file the ead around june to get it renewed, will it be valid for the time period it is specified even though i dont have my original job? (i'm planning to apply for my EAD now). i'm hoping i dont get fired by then..
2) Can we invoke AC21 in this situation? will it work?
3) is it too risky to change now or wait till the 140 approved?
4) can the compnay revoke the 140 after 180 days whether it is approved or not? i'm prety positive that they wont..but u never know...
if she dont change her job the whole premise of having the EAD is a joke. she still have to slug it out with her consultant. I know it's all just hypothetical but any suggestions/comments would be appreciated. please throw your thoughts in.
Thanks

hi,
My wife's priority date is current now (Marriage took place before the acceptance of my GC). We have to options - applying for FTJ or I-485 as my wife is in USA currently on a visit visa.
Any suggestions if we can apply for I-485 from here, as that is our preference.

I did the same thing.
I filed first I-485 on July 6th, but my attorney said that they had messed something up...and need to file second I-485. Second set was filled around August 14th
I received all my receipts as well as EAD from first filling.
So my attorney asked to put stop payment on checks from second I-485, so now when USCIS asks for money...she will withdraw the second case at that time.
Should this work...???

experts,
are there any chances of any nurse or schedule A relief bill this year or even in 2010?.......is it going to be an eternal wait for us?.....will there ever be any bill/law to give us any separate gc numbers even though the shortage continues to grow??

This has been discussed in so many threads
Once you change to AOS and invoke AC21 after 6 months, you can choose to do nothing or even be without a job. The only thing thats important is that the job offer should be available at the time of 485 adjucation.

Hello ashy15,
I'm in the same situation as you...Mine L1 individual visa will expire by this Sept 2009 and am applying for fresh L1 blanket from my company. Did you get your new L1 blanket visa without any problems? Please reply as it would be of great help to me.
Thanks
Guru
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am currently in the US on L1 Individual visa - my current visa is expiring on the 28st of Feb. My employer filed for a fresh L1 Blanket Visa instead of doing an extension because I had RFE's on i94 extn. My visa interview is on the 23rd of Feb in Canada.
Am I going to have any problems because I did not extend my visa and applied for a fresh one instead?
Any delay due to PIMS? Do I need to check whether my petition number is in PIMS system?
Any information provided is greatly appreciated.
Thanks....Ashy

We got our EAD cards today.
We had gone for FP on Sept 19th and saw LUDs on Sep 20th on our I-485s. But the EAD cards came without our fingerprints. EAD cards came from the same Service center (Nebraska) where the FP notices came from. So wondering, how they did not include our fingerprints in the EAD card?? I had also checked with FBI helpline two weeks back and verified that the FPs were delivered to USCIS.
Anybody else in similar situation?
July 29 filer, Nebraska
I-140 approved from Texas , Jan 2007
EB-3, PD: May 11 2001
When you did your FP, for what particular benefit it was intended? Was it strictly for 485 or was it combined for 485 and 765? If it was just for 485 - why do you expect it appear on your 765 and EAD card? As far as it known, 485 and 765 are complete different things and not related to each other in any way. Didn't you know that?

Question 1] Will this new H1B for Company B be valid for 3 more years (Till Feb 2011) or will this visa have to be renewed in November 2008 (remember by visa stamp for Company A is valid till Nov 2008)?
Generally you should get 3 years, if you have three years to get to the 6 year limit of H1B.
Question 2] What if I want to travel to India this October (remember by visa stamp for Company A is valid till Nov 2008)?? Can I still travel on my old visa stamp or will I need to go to embassy again in India for a new stamp
A Colleague of mine did this and did not have an issue. He went to india last Oct with his previous visa stamped in his passoort and I 797 approval of the new visa. My Company lawyers told him that he wont have any issues and he is back from his vacation and working. So i guess he did not have any issues.
What I dont know if how long was his previous visa valid for but I dont think it should matter till it is valid for sometime when you try to enter the country.

In general, if a green card holds stays outside US without any US ties for a long time, s/he technically abandons permanent residence. In practice, doing so may not trigger any activity from USCIS as such and the person may be able to enter US again. However, later on if s/he applies for US citizenship, s/he will likely be in trouble.
Usually people try to come back once every 6 months to maintain permanent residence. However, technically doing so is not sufficient; the key is maintaining ties in US in addition to not remain outside for too long.
You may be able to obtain advance permission from USCIS to remain outside US for a certain period of time without the risk of losing permanent residence. You may want to consult with an immigration attorney to know the options you have for your specific case.

Hi,
I am working for one of the largest companies as mechanical engineer. I am shifting from Mechanical engineer to program manager job within the same company. The job requirement is
BS + 2-5 years of experience
I have
Bachelors 4 Years
Masters in USA
Research Assistant 1 year 8 months
Teaching Assistant 11 months
Experience as a Mechanical engineer 3 years 8 months
Am I eligible for eb2 category? Help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
KS
1. It also depend on the job requirement
2. The experience can not be counted from the current employment if the GC sponsor also the same until the new job is Significantly different than the current job.
3. If you have degree in Mechanical Eng. I am not sure how you can count that for program manager. Prepare yourself if USCIS asks the same question.

Hi,
My mom is scheduled for an interview for a visitor visa at US Consulate, Chennai. My mom is 70 years old and she will be the only person attending for the interview. She has not travelled a lot and she will not be able to figure out everything that is needed inside the consulate before and after the interview by herself. Now - my question is - Can my mom take anyone (say a relative) with her inside the consulate for help?
Appreciate your help!

Did you get an answer from your attorney?
Attorney confirmed that correction was made before final filing.
Also said that the Labor Certification was tied to my I-140 which also got approved.

Hello Freinds,
I came to India on a vacation and went for a H1 stamping on 29th Dec at the Chennai consulate. I ended up getting the famous Pink 221G (Additional Admin Processing - AAP). I believe it is because of my muslim name (I am not a consultant or working for any consulting firm, full time employee with my comp's IT department, work for a reputed manufacturing company and done MS here in USA, been in USA for 9 years now, had previous F1, and H1 stampings).
The VO asked very basic questions (who is the employer, what they do, where did you go to school, what majors) and didn't take any of my documents except the D156, D157 & Employee letter. She said my visa is approved, however I will have to go through AAP and will have to wait for 4 to 12 weeks.
I am planning to wait till the end of January and if nothing moves ahead in my case, then go back to USA on Advance Parole (Based on the experience from other members who were stuck in 221G and who travelled back on AP), and come back to India once the 221G is cleared, and the consulate requests to send Passport.
One of my personal concerns about this approach, does the consulate consider my visa applicaton abondoned if they find out that I have already entered US (using AP)? and will it have any issues in the future with my pending AOS?
Has anyone gone through this similar situation (that they travelled on AP while H1 is in 221G status) and got successful stamping after the consulate has requested to send the Passport.
Anyone please share your experience in the above situation........
Also if am returning to USA on AP, do I have to show the I797, so the Immigration officer puts the expiration date on the I94 as the date on the I797
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
