My priority date is in Oct 2005 (ROW) and yesterday was the 180th day after filing my I-485 application. I need some help in deciding if I should wait for the green card with my current employer or think of changing the job using AC21. Your suggestions will be really helpful.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hello Guys,
First and foremost my sympathies on being a part of MI where almost everything is going the wrong way work situation, housing market and weather its been raining for almost 2 days now :), for fellow members there is another hassle of worrying about your immigration status.
Things are bleak no doubt about that but we can make a difference no I am not trying to act or sound like The President of United States here, just trying to make a point. Hey given the present situation we can either lie down and take what the government has in store for us (which is erratic movements of PD�s through the visa bulletin which are most probably by the shots taken by the DOL just before the release of the visa bulletin) or take up the fight and try to make our voice heard.
Hence to restart the chapter I would like to see if any of you are interested in a face to face meet to exchange stories and to brainstorm ideas to tackle the situation that we face currently.
Ideas and suggestions welcome, lets make the change that we were promised last year.

I was in a similar situation. I emailed to this address info@phi.dflc.us from my company email. I didn't put anything else ( as per advice in some other forums). Received reply with the case number after a month. Meanwhile I received 45 days letter and so not worried much. As we all know this is a hit and miss. They may reply..but won't hurt to try.

Can someone work in US on H1B and in India for an Inidan company and get paid in Inidan currency? If H1B restricts you from doing so I am willing to switch to EAD if that permits me from working remotely for indian company.
that's how infy, wipro, tcs work...they get ppl here on H1 and get paid in dollars....once they go back to india, they get paid in rupees....u need h1 if ur in the US.

My Case Details:
I currently have an H1 and have applied for 485(in July 2007, EB3 India, priority date April 2004, I-140 Approved, EAD approved). My wife also applied 485 (as beneficiary dependent) along with me and is currently working on EAD. Unfortunately my daughter was not in the country in July 2007 and due to unavoidable reasons she was not able to apply for 485 then. She came to US on H4 dependent visa and is currently studying in public school.
My H1B visa and my daughters H4 visa expires in Sept, 2010. I want to use my EAD incase if my H1B extension is not approved in Sept, 2010 and am trying to find out if there were other legal ways for me to have my daughter documented in US.
One of the option I was considering is try to get a F1 Student visa for her. My Daughter is in 10th grade currently (15 years old).
Please advice:
- What would be the best independent status for my daughter ?
- if My daughter converts to a student visa (F1), and some time later EB3 category becomes current for my priority date, then can 485 be applied for my daughter while she is in F1 status ? IN other words are there any issues of her being in non-immigrant intent F1 visa and me applying for 485 for her as my dependent ?
- Is there any limit on the number of years a person can be on F1 Visa in US ? She is currently in 10th grade and might join 11th Grade in F1 visa.
- Does she need to go out of US to change her status from H4 to F1 ?
- In case if required can I convert my EAD status back to H1B ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks,
Kumar N

Hi All,
I used the AR-11 form for the change of my address. I did it online. Also, while changing there is an option to change the address for any pending petition. In my case it is the I-485, which I changed.
My question is, how to verify if the address has actually changed in the system at USCIS. I checked my case status online and did not see any LUD's.
Please let me know if anyone of you have done the change of address and share your experience.
Thanks!!!
Call the 1-800 number and navigate to an rep via the POJ method.. You can verify you address with them.

mergers and acquisitions come under successor of interest and GC process is usually status quo. at yous stage, M&A wouldnt need any inputs from ur side. Confirm with attorney.
Ofcourse you can also join company C, using AC21 with all the caveats that apply.

Hello All,
I am currently in H1-B. My GC (EB2) is in progress sponsored by my company.
The I-40 is approved but me and my wife�s I-485 is still pending.
We both got our EADs, but we have never-ever used it. We just applied for it and kept the card.
My wife was also on H1-B through her own employment. She got laid off so she is losing her H1-B. Now I want to apply for her H4 as my dependant. Since she already has an EAD, will applying for H4 nullify the EAD? As I said earlier that she has never used her EAD however she plans to use it when she gets a new job.
Anybody in similar situation? Any remarks or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Thanks for reading this message. Since you are from mid-west, you are capable of taking your car and drive in the direction of DC. It will take anywhere from 9-15hours. But you will be able to do it.
If there was a possibility of USCIS handing a GC in person, you would have driven 50 hours. Can you not drive for 10hours for a cause that is affecting you, me and everyone around us?
Now make up your mind and drive and meet other mid-westerners in DC.
I know one mr Gan*** - who flew to Nebraska with a Substitute labor and i 140 petition on the last day before labor substitution was banned. Mr Gane** also filed for 485 after the fiasco and we had a drink together because he thought he did a marvellous job as he is just 2 months old in US and has just landed in a consulting job and already applied 140/485 during the fiasco.
But he is not willing to hop onto my car, lives 5 miles from my place in Queens, to go to DC.
This shows the poor attitude people have towards grassroots efforts.

Hi All
I am on a B1 - Visa visited 4 times to USA.But last time (4th time) i over stayed for about 20 days after the i-94 expired.
Normally first 3 times they gave i-94 for 3 months, last time it is only for 2 months, so it's my mistake i haven't looked it till iam
back. All this happened in June 2009. Now i am aproved for H1 - B for the year 2010. I need to face a visa interview. In DS 156
Application, Question No 38. ( Have you ever voilated the terms of a U.S. Visa or Been unlawfully present in,........)
I am checking the option Yes. Can you all help me in this please. Does 20 days extra stay will effect my H1 - B visa or if i get
the Visa, when i go to USA on H1 - B Visa does immigration stop me. Please help me on this case. Thanks a lot for all your
help.

What I understand is that, your spouse can apply for H1, but not "change of status" while on EAD/adjustee. The establishment of H1 status for your spouse is possible only via an entry using H1 visa.
So your spouse can wait in USA for the H1 approval notice and then travel outside USA for consular processing.
Anyway, it may not worth all this pain, since she can continue using EAD.
Thanks for the response, but does that means anybody who is on EAD cannot apply for H1B while in US ?

I was in a similar situation as you and had to use this firm. H1B filing experience was fine but the entire GC process and filing was not a good experience at all. There were days I had to call the paralegal and teach him the new immigration laws and that's never a good sign ! Because of their mistake I was stuck in Eb3 rather being in Eb2. May be they will deal differently with your case but have a chat with them and your company managers before you agree to use them. I m with another company and another attorney firm and they are awesome !
Anyway, pm me if you need more info. Good luck,
