if this helps any one:

My 485 filled on July 2nd @ NSC Received at 11:11 AM - No check cashed and no info.
140 Approved from TSC last year.

EAD is self-filed later on Aug 14th @ NSC with USPS tracking# proof.

But EAD check cashed today from NSC (LIN#)

It's crazy. What I can say more.

I have applied for my extension of H1B at Vermont Center. my first three years on H1b expired on Sep 8th. The application was filed on July 20th and it is normal processing. I have my H1b and H4 receipts with me, but its not yet approved. I am planning to take B1 visa appointment for my mother. Shall i send my mother to B1 stamping with H1B receipt.

Does Chennai consulate will accept H1b receipt for Visitor Visa or Shall we wait for H1b Approval? thanks in Advance....

thanks,
Sreenuk

Yes. I used for twice for two different people. No problem.

Please let me know. My lawyer has taken my personal checks and sent them to USCIS...

I don't believe leaving the company that you had signed an I-9 form with have any impact on your GC app as long as you have a same or a similar job lined up if and when you do get an RFE regarding the same.

As mentioned several times, GC is for future employment and you can switch employers as many times as you want under AC21 (of course you don't want to go overboard with switching employers every few months either :)).

I hope this helps - again this is my understanding of the law and not a legal opinion.

Does the I9 form that we sign with our company have any impact on our 485 processing if we leave the company using AC21.

Thank you.

not sure where you got taht info..i believe u still can...pl contact ur lawyer...or post question on immilaw website..

Hi!
I am thinking of leaving my current employer & joining the primary vendor for the client, wondering if my employer can hold back last month's salary OR how people have handled such situations.

Thanks for your reply.

Why should the employer hold your salary? If you had any agreement for paying back cost of your GC processing for leaving within a certain period, that would not hold any more (since last June such agreements are illegal)

My H1B extension was approved for only 6 months, based on the SOW (Client Contract) end date (rather than the usual 3 year extension).

I would be just about in my maternity leave for the pregnancy during the petition expiry and if my further extension is denied (god forbid), I was told that I would be terminated from my employers' payroll and I have to leave the country or change my status to Student, Visitor etc.

FYI: I'm working for this company since Oct 2005.

Is there any law that prohibits termination of a worker during her PREGNANCY DISABILITY LEAVE (MATERNITY LEAVE) Or FMLA (Family and Medical Leave) on the basis that the USCIS didn't approve the petition (god forbid)?

Pardon me if this question has been asked before. This query is for my friend who got laid off just before his 140 got approved in 02/09.
Case details: PD 08.2007; 3 yr. H1B expiring 08.2009

What are his options to keep the GC process rolling & things to consider?
Can he return to his home country, India, and apply 485 by consular processing when his PD is current?
Thank you.

Make sure you do not travel out of USA before you get your approved AP, since as per the law if the person who filled I485 leaves the country without AP then it is considered that he abandoned his I485, with the exception given to H1B/H4 and L1/L2 (and youdont have any of these)

If you leave USA without AP then you need to restart the process, if you have AP then that is all you need to travel.

Hi Everybody,

Could you please recommend a competent and an experienced immigration attorney in the Central NJ area?

I will be grateful to you for any help from you on this matter.

Regards.

Thaks a lot, good to know there is someone out there who did this.
So u think it shudnt be an issue.
I moving to more or less big firm....
So when I get the offer just make sure they know that I want to go for AC21 ? thats all ?

USCIS website does not shows that my I-485 has been denied but instead it says that it has been sent to AAO office(appeal processing office).

No I have not yet called attorney on extending EAD based on I-140 denial.


------------------------------

Is your 485 also denied? Most of the times when ever 140 is denied then the underlying 485 also gets denied and if that is the case then you cannot apply or extend for EAD or AP until your appeal is pending with AAO. I may be wrong so consult an attorney.

BTW....did you consult the attorney? If yes, what did they tell you?

A similar statement is mentioned on immigration-law.com.. not sure the validity, but sounds interesting.:)

Is there any way H1B can qualify as a EB1C?

Mine got approved in about 2 months time. My labor certificate reached the lawyer who passed it on to my employer.

I did a big mistake of not asking for a copy and again when I received it while filing I140 - did not make a copy again.

Please save a copy for yourself - it helps a lot while switching jobs during AC21.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. But how long did it take to get the physical copy after the online approval / approval mail from DOL.
I assume, you would have signed the labor before applying for I140.

Pls clarify.

Why do this?
If he's already got 1 I140 with older date.. got thro' process once again.. Apply thro' PERM and get EB2 the right way and then get GC in 6 months!

thx for the clarifications.

My wife is currently on H4 Visa & she currently has a TIN number. We received our EAD in mail last week. Can we apply SSN for her?

Howdy,

You cannot file for EAD or AP unless your get your I-485 receipt (A copy of the receipt notice needs to be included in the EAD and AP application). The EAD and AP should go to the same service center as your I-485 application. The address will be listed on your I-485 receipt notice. Pretty straight forward, you can do it yourself, do not pay a lawyer for preparing these documents. Good luck.

Hello,

Last week i received RFE for my wife's father's name. The name on birth certificate is different from school leaving & other docs. I'm trying to get it corrected from Mumbai.
I beleive if i get a correct one matching with other docs, i should be ok.

Another issue, i have is i have rented an apartment under my name close to my work in the same state. All my docs have my home address, my question is will it affect my case if they find another address under my name?? I still have official address as my home everywhere...
