yes, u need to inform them of every small move u make, all ur life. this holds true even after ur us citizenship is approved.

karanp25, I am assuming that was meant to be sarcastic.

I changed my job 6 months ago on EAD, my 485 is still pending, i have not yet informed USCIS about it and may or may not do so in future. There is no law/regulation that says we must do so. I believe US law works on common sense rather than word-to-word written in the law books. So in general i want to draw a line for myself as to how much i should be afraid of USCIS. I would rather risk my GC than worrying about the chances of my every little action affecting my GC. But that's just me.

some of my friends keep the engine running for 2 minutes before start driving, i was never convinced this is good for the car. I would rather junk my Honda few thousand miles early than wasting 2 min(plus gas). Again that's just me.

1) transfer her h1 (she is worried because many companies do not transfer if < 1 year is on h1), and simultaneously file for an H1 extension based on approved 140 from her current job?
A. While file for her H1 transfer she can ask for 3 years extension based on approved 140

2) file a new labor and port her PD from the approved 140?
A. If she has not filed her 485 then she has to start the GC and can port her PD to the new 140

3) if no to 1 or 2 - is it the end of the road? Can she transfer to H4 (on her husbands H1) and continue to stay here?
A. 1 and 2 are possible. If she wants she can transfer to H4 as well.

Hope this helps.

I think this is what is happening in your cases,

If you efile for your AP and If your last fingerprinting was done 18 months before Then you will get Fingerprinting notice and you got to go n give new finger prints.

If you paper file, Whether or not your FP expired (18 months) you will never get finger printing notice. (unless your PD is current and they are adjudicating your case and sending a RFE).

Always better to paper file.

Hello Friends,
My current AP expires on 2/18/11. My PD (EB-2) has been current since Sept 2010 but no sign of GC yet. I would like to renew my AP and have decided to file myself Vs using the attorney. Has anybody used the e-filing option OR is it better to send in a hard copy of the application.?

If somebody can kindly direct me to the appropriate links on IV for folks who have filed themselves - i would greatly appreciate that. Any advice on supporting documents, etc. would be really helpful.

Thanks!

Thanks. What happens when we apply for I485 using EB2 ?.
Do we need to withdraw the EB3 I485 ?. In that case my current EAD becomes invalid and cant we work for three months until we get the EAD using EB2 485 application ?.

Whoever has already attended FP, did the FP officer ask for 485 receipt also along with FP Notice.

I received FP Notice, but didnot receive receipts. I have the FP appointment tomorrow.

Thanks



No,
they did not ask us anything about any reciepts.U need to carry the ASC(FP) notice and photo identity.Thats all.!

goodluck,

Online case status shows approval on jUne 27th. But then does it really matter with all this talk of July retrogression?

I got my FHA loan using EAD, no issues.

hypocrites-par-excellence.... quiet amazing....

Thanks Sachu and Tinku for the confidence.. I got one from SFO Indian consulate. I will put the format in this thread when I get home.

Also I will update details when I get to India.

Congrats bro. You deserve every bit of the green.

As per suggestion by members of the forum, I am planning on using a good attorney to file my appeal.

The new attorney for my company is 'Law Offices of Slowik & Robinson LLC' (http://www.s-r-law.com/) based in Columbus, OH and is supposedly very reputable and well known.

If you guys have heard of them or know about them, please drop a few lines here. This will help me make a decision as to stay with the new company attorney or go to much bigger firms like Murthy LLC.

Thanks.

Regardless of the attorney you employ, it is important to ensure you are completely clued in and has visibility into the process. Its even more important in the situation you are in.

You should be completely versed with your case, options available, reperucssions.. everything. Only then you can have meaningful conversation with attorney about your concerns.

It is very difficult with para legals not providing timely information, neverthless you should look for firm that treats clilents with respect.

Yes, I checked and we are approved all the way.Just waiting for the consular processing date to get our Green Card.

So can my wife quit her job? I dont understand why she couldnt if our case is already approved...

You have to somehow prove to USCIS that company A and C are subsidiaries and mere mentioning that they have been owned by the same person may not fly. You need some kind of proof on paper.

This may not fly because, both are considered different legal entities. The time that you have worked for A from Oct 05 to Aug 06 till the date H1B Transfer was filed from C to A, your employment will be considered unauthorized.

You need to immediately contact a good lawyer to evaluate your situation and options. I am sure they will find a way out.

Your case is slightly different than working for multiple employers while on H1B.

You can have multiple H1B's and work for multiple employers, given one of them is primary full time employment. This is perfectly legal and one of my friend has gone through this situation during his GC process. He did get an RFE and provided the details of both employments to CIS and they eventually approved his case. This was in 2004 though.

Spoke with a lawyer. He told me that PD need not be current to interfile though it is commonly held belief

Hello All,
Just curious and needed your opinion. My wife has a valid H4 status until 2010 (no visa but petition approved). She used her EAD card for all of 5 days about a year ago and then has not worked since then. I am confused if I need to apply for renewal of her EAD to maintain her legal status in the country considering having used EAD for 5 days might have triggered her out of H4 status. Any thoughts on this? Do i need to renew her EAD to maintain her legal status in the country even with a valid H4 petition until 2010? We also have 485 petition filed and pending over 180 days. I am wondering if it is required for a person with 485 pending for over 180 days to always maintain a valid EAD card even though they are not employeed. Thank you all in advance.
No it is not required to maintain valid EAD if you are in AOS.

If you are not using EAD why renew it? Unless you are one of the people who applied under the new scheme (free EAD and AP for life), you are just wasting $340 + $305 = $645 (per person).

You can easily wait till you move to new place before applying - if at all you want to apply. If your EAD & AP have expired, I am not sure if the new EAD/ AP will be considered as a "new" application or a "renewal".

To all the folks that attended the conference at YMCA Center in Woodbridge, NJ on Oct 28th,

Thanks for participating . Please provide your feedback on the meeting i.e What you liked and what you didn't like. This will help us for the future meetings.

Also please become more active and urge you friends and colleagues to become more active in NJ state chapter.

Any suggestion on promoting our cause will be greatly appreciated:
Some of the areas to think about are:
a) How often we should hold such conferences?
b) What other topics we should include. ( For example Financial planning for the community, given the uncertainity in the process)?
c) In what way we together can help increase our number?
d) etc...etc...

The meeting was very well organized. Q&A session with Attorney Prashanti Reddy was very useful. Here are my suggestions:
a) We can have these conferences every two months or whenever core thinks so.
b) I think we should stick to immigration.
c) Earlier 'Invite a friend/Add a member' campaigns were very successful as compared to flyer/poster campaign.
