.......
In your situation, I would probably apply for the EAD but ask a new employer to also file for H-1B status for you (assuming you have H-1B time left)
.....

The person should be eligible for H-1B (even if 6 years are complete) as he/she has I-140 pending or approved. If I-140 is pending, then H-1B can be filed for 1 year extension, if I-140 is approved then H-1B extension can be upto 3 years.

My 2 cents.

Yedy - I would appreciate that you let a healthy discussion take place on these forums rather than posting wrong information and shunning out people. The community is here to help and there may be many in similar situations. I am talking to a lawyer even before you preached it. This is a forum to get second opinions and real life examples. I am sure no one here (including you) takes the advice from these forums literally and implements it

USCIS refuses to give this data to anybody. They are not willing to give any break up.

$500000 in a federally designated low employment area. $1 Million else where.

Congrats Brother ! Long journey but worth the wait :)

I see no reason why you cant move to permanent offer.

Is it not risky to move when your RFE response is pending? I worked for just 2 employers for 9 yrs between 2000 -- 2009
then since March I have so far been with 2 employers and now 3rd PERM offer.. I am concerned if that can create issues..

My situation is I got LAID off.

I had to change employment.

So,

Should I file Ac-21 ?

Buddy,

I am sorry to note that you got laid off.

JunRN's posts are crystal clear. I am surprised that you are still asking the question.

Now answer to your question: YES, You have to file AC21.

PD - august 2002
140 AP - august 2005

485/EA/AP - sent it out today

thanks for posting.. may be junior members do not have permission to post attachments..:)

Yeah received it. Posting shortly. Could you please remove my id from ur follow up post. Just want to avoid future junk mails :)

good idea.. see you at 9:30 on wednesday

I went by my EAD expiration date and filed both EAD and AP renewals but only after filing , I saw my AP expiry date is mor ethan 120 days away .I am really worried abt this .I received my receipt notices but no birometrics yet.
Have anyone of you guys got other updates ?

Hi,
I am also on my 9th year of extension and Recently I changed jobs ( from fortune 500 to another fortune 500) and the new company suggested to have my 9th+ years H1 extension and have applied for the same. I just received the approval yesterday with in 30 days. The only reason I moved is so that I can refile in EB2, I have Masters+MBA prior to my old Labor, but couldn't apply as the old company job descriptions did not support it. With recent changes in I140 premium eligibility criteria, any one with H1 of 6years or more eligible for it and so you might want to extend your H1 and use Advance Parole to travel if you are thinking of any portability to EB2 in future.

Refer to the article on Murthy.com for the new I140 premium eligibility changes

Thanks

Do I have to hire 10 employees at the first day I open my liquor store ?
Thanks

This is not true..

I have friends who have same "Patel" surname, but their cases have gone to different depts.

Thanks Guys.! this is really, really helpful. Appreciate your advice.!!

any pickups from Queens area or Manhattan???

also can someone give link to something that can be printed like a flyer re: rally on 18th?


I live in Queens - will do something about it. Lets stay connected.

And any ideas on what will we do with the final list? If it ever gets to include absolutely everything - much of it may even be hidden from us - you never know what goes on inside those Fed buildings!
I think if we have enough data with actual incidents /dates , we can atleast post them on blogs, send them to the director USCIS, send complaint to congress and whereever else we can.

You have the instructions since you quote them. Send exactly what they are asking for, i.e. the form, photos, copy of front and back of previous EAD and check to pay them.

I would suggest you send separate checks if only to be able to get the case number from the back of them when they are cashed.

The instructions clearly say make check payable to the Department of Homeland Security. I believe if you did write them to the USCIS they will still get cashed but follow the instructions.

You seem to have it all under control. Have confidence in yourself and get the applications sent in.

Thanks for encouragement,
It's always scary the first time. : )

Re. Check caching - just FYI, now-a-days, they copy the check, convert it to EFT and destroy the original so getting case number from copy may not work.

Also do I write A# on back of photos or something else? Any idea if there are restrictions for using pen or pencil or such?

thanks again,
NS

But in this PDF doc. it says, "Specter and Frist Immigration Proposals May Increase EB Backlogs".

http://www.immigrationvoice.org/media/immigrationvoice_memo_hard_country_quota.pdf

It takes average 3 - 6 months for I-140 to get approved(I got it in 40 days), but like lot of other people i am stuck with retrogression :(
