Hi, My H1B on passport is expiring in mid Jan 2008. Similarly, I-94 is also expiring same time. I applied AOS in last week of July and hoping that I will get EAD by Dec but if it does not come by then, what are my options ? If I apply H1 in first week of Jan , would that be okay as I will have expired H1B stamp and I-94 in my passport. Please advise.

I have been noticing a lot of people moving changing jobs using EAD. Especially a lot of June and July 2007 filers.
The time to renew EAD is approaching and I am sure there is going to be a surge in EAD renewals.
There was also a recent communication from USCIS that one must not apply for renewal prior to 120 days of their EAD expiry date.
In past has anyone been in a situation where they are not able to renew EAD in time and how you handled it?
Do you plan to apply for EAD exactly in the 120 day range to make best use of time? What if EAD renewal gets severly backlogged?
I think this is something we must all concentrate on and try to get some answers from USCIS on this as it will help planning.

I currently have an L1 that is valid until Dec 2007. Meanwhile I applied for my H1 this April and I have been approved for H1 (COS) starting OCT 2007. Now my situations demands me to continue on my L1 for another 4 months. I need to send in my extension papers by November as my L1 expires DEC 2007.
PLease let me know if my H1 will be cancelled/invalid if I apply for my L1 extension.

I live in GA. My 485 was filed at NSC and was receipted at CSC and transferred back to NSC.
As per the filing instructions, I will have to file EAD at Texas Service Center.
But some folks told me to file at the location where I-485 is pending.
I have the following questions
a> Where should I file my EAD renewal
b> Is it true, paper based EAD renewal does not require finger printing

Do they really know our name check status in local INS? When I spoke to NSC an year back, they said that my name check is done and waiting for visa numbers. when I went local INS office recently, she simply checked the online status (which we used to login and see) and she told that my name check is pending. It's been 4 years since I filed my 485, how is this possible?

It is very possible that my question might have already been answered in the past but after searching through many forums, I could not find a direct answer.
Here�s my situation:
Category: EB2
PERM approved.
I 140 approved.
PD � Dec 2007.
H1-B status: 6 yrs expiring Sep 10. Filed for 3 yr extension.
I have an excellent chance of a promotion to a managerial level position. I am seriously considering abandoning my current GC process, accept the managerial position and reapplying for a new H1-B and GC.
Questions:
1. Will I need a new H1-B? If so, for how many years will I get it?
2. When I apply for a new PERM, will PD of Dec 2007 still be valid?
Thanks.
1. You will need a new H1-B with a new LCA appropriate duties and responsibilities, wages etc.
2. Yes. You can retain the old PD with the I-140. Take care to note that that you are not applying for the PERM but your company will be and your company may or may not find qualified citizens/permanent residents. You do not and should not control the recruitment process.

To quote from the article
"Hira said that grass-roots groups seeking reforms don't have the money or celebrity support that can turn attention to their concerns. But what they lack in money can be offset to some extent in numbers and effort, he said."
Exactly the same concern IV is facing today. We need more members and more money. In essence, please do your bit to support IV.

Folks please advise on using POJ method. I tried calling using the instructions below however I always get to customer service instead of NSC where I intend to connect. Am I missing something here ?
Call 1-800-375-5283
Press 1 to select English
Press 2 to skip introduction
Press 2
Press 6 to find case status information
Press 1
Now enter your receipt number SRCxxxxxxxxxx
Voice asks if SRC press 1
Then reads out application number, if correct, press 1 (now listen to the case update info..blah blah)
Part way through the blah blah press 3
Wait a moment and press 4
I am July 2 filer with Nov 2005 PD EB2-I. Even though I'm happy for others It is indeed frustrating to see my case languish like this. No updates at all. CSR just tells me to wait and wait forever. Opened an SR but nothing happened yet. Very very demoralizing....

It's really impossible to answer this without knowing the exact employment relationship that is planned and what the denial said in detail. Presumably your employer has a lawyer who can advise on whether an appeal might be successful. It is very likely that the denial was based on there not being the correct "employer-employee" relationship. CIS issued a new memo on this last month, and there are many threads in this forum on the topic. See here also: Law Office of Elaine Martin - immigration news: consultants (http://martinvisalaw.blogspot.com/search/label/consultants).
Good luck.

As you will have a valid H4, you can try using H4 at the port of entry but it doesn't matter even if you use AP. If the Officer at the PoE objects or raise questions pertaining to your work status then you might want to use AP. Your status will not affect your spouse (or entire family) Green Card process.
Your status depends on your spouse's status. If your spouse is on H1B; you can always convert your status to H4 even if you use AP at the port of entry.

Hello,
Does anyone work for Covansys?? I am in the process of talking to them for employment on H1B. Any issues with this company? I appreciate your comments...
They are big and you can join them without any hesitation. I worked for them for more than 6 yrs. I am not working there any more.
They are pretty good at filing H1Bs and GCs. Good Luck

U.S. Department of Labor has implemented a new integrated online system � known as the iCert Portal � through which employers can submit applications for permanent labor certification, labor condition applications (LCAs) and other applications for immigration-related DOL programs. In addition, the agency will introduce new editions of Form ETA-9089, the PERM labor certification application, and have already introduced Form ETA-9035, the labor condition application. iCert has already replaced the method of LCA filing for H-1B. The new iCert system begins to accept LCAs as of July 1, 2009. Employer and attorneys as the case may be, can still use the old LCA account but cannot submit new LCA. New LCA has to be filed from iCert.
Following are the new changes which has taken place:
- The new LCA requires writing the SOC (ONET/OES) code and the occupation title for the job.
- The new LCA has a section for basis for the visa classification supported by the application. There are the following categories:
a. New employment;
b. Continuation of previously approved employment without change with the same employer;
c. Change in previously approved employment;
d. New concurrent employment;
e. Change of employer;
f. Amended petition.
- One has to indicate the total number of H-1B/H-1B1 (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) non-immigrant workers.
- The new LCA also requires, in the employer information section, to indicate the Trade name/doing business as (DBA), if applicable, the old LCA does not have this requirement.
- In the new LCA, one is required to write NAICS code.
- There is a new section in the new LCA - Employer point of contact information, which requires to indicate the following: full contact�s name; contact�s job; contact�s address; contact�s telephone number; contact�s e-mail address.

We are happy and proud to anounce that we are a 3000+ members family now. Kudos to the all the members for the hard work and perseverance. We are happy with what we have achieved so far and are confident & determined to do our best in the future. I want to quote Sunil on this
'I can sooo clearly remember when we just got started off, and we had only couple threads on our forums. We had only 6-8 members.
We were posting stuff on the forums just to get some content out there so people can see some activity. Hard to believe we have close to 600 threads now.
This is something everyone should be proud of'

I had a question about using using AC21.
Here is the scenario: Let us say I work for XYZ Company who applied for my 140 and 485. I have approved 140, H-1b, EAD and AP.
If XYZ laid me off or I left them for career progression or more money 180 days after my 485 was filed and 140 approved, what happens to my 485 application?
Wouldn't USCIS question that since my sponsoring employer does not exist anymore, who am I going to work for once I get my green card? or is this coverd under AC21?
Please advice!
sir, if you have worked 180 days for this employer after filling of 485, there are no issues with CIS, atleast legally. However there are some unfortunate incidents going on where IO wrongfully denied 485 petitions when a person changed jobs using AC-21. I urge you to take part in IV AC-21 letters campaign which will help you and all of us to survive any unfortunate, unforseen job loss due to current downturn in economy. (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22182) It is actully very easy, just print 4 pages and mail it thru' USPS. Won't even cost you $2. Remember this for yours and our future and peace of mind. Arul, I humbly request you to do so for sake of our community. Thanks!

Hi Immigration Gurus,
I have a valid H1B Visa which is expiring on Feb 16th, 2008 and my old H1 is expiring the same day as my Visa. I applied for my H1B extension my H1 extension is pending. I am planning to go to india on Dec last week and coming back on jan 7th.
1) Can I travel without any problems/
2) While coming back, what are the documents I need to show, will my old H1 is enough or do I have to show receipt of showing I applied for extension?
I really appreciate your time and advice, advanced thanks

I don't know anyone in Chicago. But I think it does not matter. You can hire an attorney from other city/state as long as he/she is competent. We live close to chicago, but our immigration attorney is in Michigan.
We had a great experience with this attorney. She is thorough, clear, always accessible and prompt. And she does not charge a fortune either like others. She does not even charge extra for phone calls, emails, etc.
The office is Law Offices of Ingrid Brey P.C. in Grosse Point Park, MI. Just google it and call the office. Have them email their services/charges, etc.
