I changed my employer after 9 months of filing 485 using AC21 a year ago and my new employer has reduced my workdays to 3 days a week starting this month. Can I get a second job for 2 days a week with same job description and salary etc ?


The AC21 job must be same/similar along with permanent and full-time. Your labor should indicate hours/week for the job. Usually CIS considers job with > 35 hours per week as full time.

Good Luck.

Thank you for replying. One more follow up question: Is acting without pay considered work and hence a violation ? Thanks in advance.

With the D100 now carrying a street price of $1499 from legitimate dealers...things are looking mighty nice as the price of admission for quality gear keeps going down.


Its not the price of admission that concerns me any more, its the cost of the addiction;)

Guys,

After a long time I am logging into IV board. It was difficult period. Moved from TX to VA During January start. It took long to get me a good "matching" job and had to move on EAD. Sent the "proof of employment letter" to lawyer for AC21 notification.

Please see your PM

Thanks WandMaker. Actually, I meant the receipt date and not PD. Thanks for catching up. Can't wait to get my I-140 processed...

Can IV post a comprehensive question that all members can vote on?

If you do post a question, make sure to let us know what to search for ;-)

Thanks,

I have a question which I have been wanting to ask for a while, so if GC is for a future job then can someone incorporate a company and work for self on EAD/AC21. If there is query for ablity to pay then at that point can you have an offer from other company and work for that company for 6 months once you get 485 approved.


Greencard is for the future job you are going to do, after getting the green card.

Thank you for your reply.

I actually spoke to my candidate and he will now be using the premium service for his H1B and then resigning since he can transfer.

Now, the question I have is how expensive is it to transfer the H1B and can the candidate travel during the transfer?

Thank you

Thanks in advance for answering my question:

I have had an EAD from past 2 years, but I also had a valid H1B I was working for company A on H1 and my GC is filed by Company B future employment(and hence the EAD)

- Company A went down last year, so I was laid off, so my H1 lapsed.
- I switched to Company B since I have an EAD through them.
- I am on Company B's payroll currently.
- The company A folks needed help after they were shutdown, I helped and was paid for hours. (doing same and similar work) but not issued a 1099...

Question - I will need to file taxes on those hours, in terms of immigration have I done anything out of ordinary here? I don't know if USCIS and IRS connecected, or I am just being paranoid here?

Thanks!

As you are on EAD nothing wrong is done as for as USCIS is concerned. Just add that income as self employment income you should be fine. Also you can deduct those expenses you made to earn that income.

Hi ALL,
I'm a newbie in the forum and i need help from all regarding the below issue i have.

I'm a F1 student and presently working as a Software Engineer.I have been on OPT from January 2010 and i have recently got an extension for another 17 months which is a total of 29 months of OPT from January 2010 till June 2012, My main question was when do i need to apply for H1 and are there different types of H1?
What are the dates for applying for H1 and the start date for H1?
I will be done with my OPT by June 2012, so when should i start my H1 filling and is there any way that i can extend my status?
what are the ways of applying for H1?

Sorry if i have been asking the same question which has been answered before, if so please do not mind to direct me to that particular page

Thanks,
Rohit

Do it as soon as you can. You have a lot of time though. This year's quota started from April 1 which will come into affect on oct 01. You have nothing to worry.

I don't know much about flower pictures but this looks very professional to me!

I applied for I 485 , AP and EAD during 07 July. I got a fp notice back in 2007 and I got another one two weeks ago. I went ahead and did my bio-metrics over the weekend at TSC Application Support Center.

Does this mean that somebody has looked into my file and pre adjudicated it? or is it a automated thing and does not mean anything?

Please advice!

Hi, I am currently on my 5th year H-1B visa. I have an option to stay with the same firm and they will help me apply greencard. But I am also considering an opportunity in Bermuda for a 2-3 year program (with the same firm).

My question is if I come back to the US after 2 years, will I be able to apply H-1B visa again? Will it be a whole new H-1B petition/application process subject to the H-1B cap?

Or will it be just another H-1B renewal process following my previous two terms?

Do I need to wait for another two terms of H-1B to expire before starting the greencard process?

Can I ask my currently employer to apply for greencard concurrently while I am working outside the US?

Thanks,
E

Now that 485 is allowed till 17th what should be a strategy for H4 visa. I am sure many of us must be planning to get married earlier and get our spouse here. If she is asked during visa interview about why sudden rush to get H4 should she just say family reasons or mention the intent to file 485. H1/H4 is a dual intent visa and thus as far as I know telling visa officer the reason for sudden rush is to file 485 should not be a problem.

But I want other peoples opinion on this. Any suggestions or does anyone see any potential problem with this scenario.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Members for quick response. There are few volunteers who have sent emails and are being contacted. It should be sufficient for now. In future if there is a need, I can let you know on the forum. Thanks again for your enthusiasm and continued support for IV efforts.

A friend of mine told me that we do not have to pay Social Security Tax while working on EAD. Does anybody know if this is true ?

That would be a huge plus in case its true.

In the application filed, I received a query stating "Labor Condition Application is marked to indicate you are an exempt HIB dependent for the beneficiary based on the existence of masters degree from the United States. Please confirm your claim that you are an expemt for this beneficiary. If no United States masters degree exists for this beneficiary, the LCA is not valid and may require a withdrawal of the current petition and filing of a new petition with a new LCA that adhers to Labor Department's requirement for H1B dependents".

My Employer wants to reply that this was a clerical mistake..... Is this right? or should he file a new petition.

Can I file another petition if this petition is rejected?

I have just gone thru March recording of IV lawyer call and the below caught my attention. Ms Susan mentioned that any company name change after I140 approval has to refile I 140. I am utterly confused as that particular scenario affect me and i would like to know what best course of action i can take at this point.



I filed LC and I 140 with company A
My I 140 got approved
Before i filed my I 485 my company changed its name
I asked my attorney at that time if we need to take any special action
Attorney said they can just add an amendment while applying for I 485 about name change and apply with approved I 140, which is with old company name.


I and my wife work on EAD for past 3 years and i am still employed with same company. I wonder which one of above attorney is correct and what i should do.

Does the fact that my I485 is pending for more than 180 days after approval of my I 140 will come to rescue in case of question about company name change (AC21)

lawyers do this all the time. I guess USCIS is fine with it.

thanks. I am from michigan, so would the 485 package go to nebraska or some other processing center?
