I went through it. I was fired but made to resign, and this happened in my 6th year H1b. I was given a 2 month severence check but lawyer told me it is not safe to assume that the severence period makes my stay legal. 30 to 60 days is safe period for h1b transfer.
Desi companies come of help in such cases. I found a project within 20 days and got my h1b transferred to a desi company and reapplied for Gc in PERM and also got extensions. Now I am back in track, also got 3 year h1b extension based on approved 140.

This is one big thing people never realise. The more the retrogression, the more are chances for people into falling into these situations.

Layoffs and firings are common and everyone goes through it no matter what great employee u r, u r only an employee and not the boss.

As per my definition layoff, firing, no pay hikes, working long hours, no promotions, non equal treatment among co workers, giving u crappy work, making ur work miserable etc..... everything is the same.

Are you sure of this? I, of course, hope you are right. It would be great!
Please post this where it's VISIBLE

She can work for any company she wants... her EAD is not limited to any job/profession... So she can work for Company B or C or D

PS - My wife works for company B using AP/EAD that came as a result of my I485 done by my employer. So she should enter on AP and use EAD to work. No issues. She can always have the H1 in her back pocket for back up... I would consult a lawyer if I were you before using the H1...

She can not get an H4 though... thats seen as abandoning your AOS status...

Hope this helps...

>> She can not get an H4 though... thats seen as abandoning your AOS status...

Totally Incorrect.

No one knows the answer dude..you have to wait until your PD becomes current atleast...

No, Did not port to EB3, He is EB3, Filed for 485 in July '07 fiasco. He is consulting his attorney to see, what to do about the unusual approval. Also did not receive the FP, after filing for 485 in July '07 until last month, when they did the first FP mid-august. Pretty sure about that, from what I heard from my friend.

If case is approved, there is no need to do anything about what you call an unusual approval. Legally, an I-485 can be filed only when visa is immediately available (although we know that is not the case), which he/she did (based on his PD being current when he/she filed his/her I-485). What happens thereafter is all internal matter of USCIS. As far as an I-485 filer is concerned, his/her case is in the works until is approved.

Its' very depressing state, I really feel bad about current state of affairs of economy...

Its' very depressing , So lets close this thread :(

But gcformeornot Don't give me read for that , Nothing against you , I am giving you green

That is correct. Mixing and matching with certifications doesn't work. Although I don't know about CPA, if it goes towards professional degree.

That's correct, also if the job requirement is Bachelor + 5 year experience is entirely different from Bachelor or equivalent +5 year experience. Also if you are considering porting with the same employer please read by clicking here (http:///2011/01/eb3-to-eb2-porting-with-same-current.html), this is not to scare you but to shed some light on the process.
Good luck!

To capture unused visa numbers we need to make DC rally big, so lets go to DC on sept 13th and make it big success.......

Nice....;)

Also we need everyone to help out in spreading IV work at the local level (state level). Plus IV welcomes contributions. :)

from your signature it says you contributed and you voted 'no', am i missing something here?

How many more before Congress acts?

COME WITH US TO WASHINGTON TO TELL CONGRESS THAT WE'VE ALREADY WAITED LONG ENOUGH!!!!
How many more of us need to leave???? Let's not wait and find out! We love the United States and want to continue to contribute to its growth, world leadership and well-being. Don't let short-sighted politicians prevent you from securing what you have rightfully earned: The Right to contribute to the U.S. in peace and freedom, without abuse, without discrimination, and without the constant threat of being uprooted and kicked out the door like a piece of used old furniture!!!

Why take chances ? Be safer than being sorry later.
Take some leave (paid or unpaid) - get it stamped over there + meet your loved ones. You'll have a peace of mind at the cost of couple thousand dollars.

"my" suggestion.

They cannot hold your PF no matter what. Send a Attorneys letter (in India) stating that it is illegal for them to hold the PF and they should pay it immediately. It has worked magic for a friend of mine who quit one of the largest IT employer.

As for OPs question on email being binding , it probably is not. To be a binding contract both party need to sign. When you say "Wipro didn't want me to stay longer" do you have any mail to prove that they indeed wanted you to leave earlier ? If you have that, they sure cannot do anything. As for Leave encashment, if it for leave earned in US, complaint to DOL using form WH4 (assuming you are on H1, not L1) .

I would like to ask the same question but a bit more specific.

For someone who is an MBA (Finance) with 7-8 yrs of Financial and HR benefits experience who wants to move to IT or IT related field what would you advice would be the best field to move to or best certification to take ?

Thanks

Field to move to would probably be SAP/Oracle Financials/PeopleSoft ..

I had the same thing happen to me, applied PP on June19, it reached on 20th got approved on June21. Status still shows pending, but the lawyer got the approval notice with an A# to boot...

Just to update, I got a CRIS mail that I was approved on the June21 and the online status changed to approved today....thats more than 2 weeks after the lawyer got the approval notice...snail mail seems faster then online notifications....why is everything so Topsy turvy with these guys only !!

I guess you won't find much love for labor transfer cases in these forums but AFAIK AC21 has nothing to do with whom the labor was filed for.

Sorry to read about your 485 being rejected. Mine was too, my lawyer sent the wrong fee. They tried a second and a third time and came rejected for incorrect fees. I have not tried the InfoPass because they state clearly that applications will be rejected for incorrect fees. I did a lot of crying and I am very angry at my lawyer. My PD is Jan 05. My daughter got robbed of the opportunity to work and who knows how long it will take. She will surely age-out. However, don't give up maybe things will change soon.

If your friend maintains H status, she could bring her baby back on H4 visa.
Well, actually she does. But they are worried that they GC might be approved and their child would be out of status- any suggestions?

I think IV did great today. BUT
lets not act as children and pick fights with AILA. Please remember, due to their vested interest, there is NO ONE else who is more PRO-immigrant than AILA.. not even tech-employers..
So if they are saying situation might be fluid and if they are saying not to spread rumours.. then so BE it..
I hope I am wrong but seems like tiny access and frustration is causing few IV core members BIG heads ..
This is time to be calm, AND YES DISCREET!!!!

Before people start dumping on me.. please note.. we are among friends here and one of the ways to keep in check these things is to call upon friends when you feel they made a mistake.. and I FEEL IV made a mistake.. NOT in disclosing the knowledge but making an issue out of AILA warning and picking fights with them..! So lets take that out.. we know you stand by.. why keep it..?

Well said - The greatness of a person lies in the humility that goes with success.

I cant imagine the Mahatma thumping his chest with arrogant pride when India attained independence. So much for our committment to Gandhigiri that at the first sign of success - the daggers are out of the cloak.

Sent the request for correction with my supporting documents.

******************
Request advice...

I know that I will have to stop working on August 11 2010 and I can't earn for as long as I don't have a valid EAD in my hand. I also know that it does not affect my Green Card I-485 app as long as I don't work without and EAD.

So what should I do from here on? Should I wait...I still have 50 days to hope to get my renewed EAD in. Should I call USCIS and request expedited processing of my case...but I haven't even received my receipt notices yet. Should I book and INFOPASS appt...but INFOPASS appointments for I-765 are only issued if it has been more than 90 days since the application was filed?

I will really appreciate any comments/suggestion regarding my case.
***********************

What should one do if he don't receive the nenewal EAD before the current EAD expires, can he continue working ? will the employer come to know ? having the receipt notice is enough ? what is the impact ? Please any one clarify. Thanks.

They charge $2, blimey, that's nothing. They want to increase to $9, hey increase it to $100 and to the job properly!

If I was stuck in name check I'd happy write them a check for $900 not just $9.

This is a typical example of how doing things on the cheap is just plain stupid.

If they are going to do a name check for the 12,000,000 to 20,000,000 then how does that affect them. In computing we have to write systems that scale, I doubt their system will scale to cope with an extra 20,000,000 checks.

thank you so much
I was thinking the same.
so do you think should i transfer to H1B and how does it happen.
thanks for sharing your opinions on my query.
