If one changes to a new employer after 180 days,
How much support (documentation etc) does he/she need from the ex-employer or the ex-employers attorney?
After 180 days, so I assume I'll have the receipt notice and hopefully EAD and AP (also have I-140 copy).
for 6 months. and W2 if applicable.

Rajiv Khanna from immigration.com held two conference calls on going back to school with a pending green card application. Not sure if your particular situation is covered but you can listen to the conference call recordings on his website. I believe these were in the April/Mat time frame.

Thanks for the useful information.
Recently I came back from India based AP but they stamped Mar 23 2009 on my I-94 as expired date since my AP will expire during that time. So would I need to file H1 extension to get new I-94.

I think they carry only their own documents + hdfc receipt etc stuff in original.
All other documents (that are not issued to them) are a copy e.g. your I797 notice, copy of your passport, visa etc.
Your Birth certificate is one such document hence copy should be fine. And also your passport also has a name of each parent.

I will be filing my 485 due to the current changes.
I am getting married in December 2007.
1. I am goin to file for my spouse at that time. Is it necessary that the dates should be current in order to file this amendement?
2. I understand that one can file amendment before or within 180 days of acceptance of 485. is this correct ?
3. Is there anyway to know that I am nearing my acceptance of 485?
Your comments are appreciated.

Hi,
I have an EAD (over a year now since I-140 approved), but never used it. Now, that Iam planning to switch my employer I have some questions about using EAD
1. Is it Mandatory to file AC21? No
2. Is AC21 required for each contract switch ? (Suppose Contract is W2), if so, wouldnt that be hard and expensive to file for every 3 or 6 months projects? "contract". You are doomed. GC is for "permanant full time" offer. So, new job based on AC21 should also be "permanant full time". If USCIS knows that you are working on a cotracr for a short term; wait for 485 denial notice.
3. Can I work on 1099? 1099 is a self-employed catagory. You can still use AC21, and self employed. Refer USCIS memos regarding AC21 and self employment.
Thanks in Advance....

Port of entry doesn't matter. You can leave from JFK and come back through California. It totally depends on your airlines and the route you choose. I have done it many times.
Not sure about 2months left on your visa thing. I don't have any comment on that.

It is not clear to me why there is inconsistency on whatever they reply for the processing of NSC-->CSC-->NSC cases. Sometime I hear NSC mentions that these transfer cases would be processed based on CSC processing date (which doen't make sense because CSC stopped processing of I-485 caes, so how CSC processing date would move and the transferred case is waiting in NSC not in CSC) and sometime I hear NSC mentions those cases would be processed based on NSC processing date. Which one is actually true ?
I am wondering so far have we seen any approval from NSC for NSC-->CSC-->NSC transferred cases whose processing date RD/ND falls in 2007 (after the 2006 processing date of CSC).

You can use your eb3 EAD.
But first to get into EB2 category, you have to first file another separate labor with a different employer (w/same employer it will most likely rejected) and then file 140 separately agian and then once your 140 is approved get it interfiled and then port from eb3 to eb2.
Thanks. I understand the chances are slim but I am willing to take the risk since My company has already gone through the recruitment process...Worst I still going to be on eb3...
Another question...By moving to a diferentt positon I am invoking AC21 even though it is in the same company...but at the same time I am filing for eb2 where job duties has to be atleast 50% different. This then violates ac21 rules so how come this is allowed. Most people convert from eb3 to eb2 using h1b but I am not sure if it is possible using ead

A friend's H1B transfer from company A to company B was denied. Since his H1B with company A is still valid and is going to expire in 3 months, he can still go back to work for company A. However, if he chooses not to work for company A and tries to find a third employer to do another transfer, is he considered out of status for these three months?

Gurus,
I have completed 4 years on H1B and I converted to L2 status and applied for EAD(feb'10) thru my Spouse's L1 Visa.
My GC is in process and not filed my I-485 yet.
Now my question is, as if i stay L2 for 1 year and if i convert it back to H1B, will my H1 term Start all over and will i get additional 6 year term? Please provide your feedback
Thanks
No, you can get only remainder of 6 years (on H-1B) and you are not subject to cap either. One must be physically present outside the US for 365 days to reset clock for H-1B. However, in that case, beneficiary is subject to H-1B cap as well.
Time spent on H4 or L2 does not count towards 6 years for H-1B.
As per 8 CFR 214.2(h) (13) (i) (B)
When an alien in an H classification has spent the maximum allowable period of stay in the United States, a new petition under sections 101(a)(15)(H) or (L) of the Act may not be approved unless that alien has resided and been physically present outside the United States, except for brief trips for business or pleasure, for the time limit imposed on the particular H classification. Brief trips to the United States for business or pleasure during the required time abroad are not interruptive, but do not count towards fulfillment of the required time abroad

Big mistake. Yes, your lawful stay in US ends on 30-Sep-2007.
With the Visa from company A expiring on 30-Sep why did you travel without getting the H1 papers from company B in hand?
You should have done either of the following
1) Got H1 stamping from company B before entering US (or)
2) Entered US with company A’s VISA (before it’s expiry) and company B’s H1 approval notice, so that the officer could stamp the I-94 as per company B’s end date.
All that you can do now is to leave the country before Sep 30th and renter US with VISA stamping from company B.

A friend of mine is going through this and I am posting on his behalf while he is really stressing it out. Any help would be very much appreciated.
He got his H1B through this consulting firm last April in effect from Oct 01, 2008. He finished his masters here in the US in April. He made himself available to the employer and was searching for work all summer. His employer asked him to clear a few certifications in a field unfamiliar to him. My friend took certifications but also has been on a look out for any new opportunities given the tough market.
He recently found one and is looking to switch his H1B. Now that his current employer has found out about this, he totally freaked out threatening to cancel his H1B.
Things to note:
- My friend has not been paid by his current employer. So no pay-stubs what so ever
- He had signed a contract for 2 years and some ridiculous amount of money towards damages in case he leaves
What are his options now? What if the employer sends H1B cancellation before he gets to file a new petition through the new company? Can anyone please help?
Thank you

Hello,
Here's my situation. I have an approved I-140 (EB2), my I-485 has been pending for more than an year. Due to recent lay-offs, I will have to change my employer through an H-1B transfer. My wife was on H-4. However, just this year she got an H-1B approval with consular processing since when we applied for her H-1b this year, she was not in US.
Now 2 weeks back, her employer applied for her COS through regular processing. I assume this takes about 3-4 months.
My question is - now that I am doing my H-1B transfer to another employer, do I have to worry about my wife's H-4 extension as well, or just leave that as it is, as her application for COS to H-1B is pending with USCIS.
Please advise.
Thanks
In my opinion, leave it as it is.
also, please spend few minutes to send out 4 letters in support of fight against cases using AC21 and getting denials without any reasons. You might very well fall in this if you plan/have to use your EAD.
