Dilemma
10-22 05:42 PM
Hello -
I am in sort of big dilemma. My Background:
- Single (not married)
- Currently on H1-B valid until Dec 2011.
- PD July 2007. Company A
- I140 & AOS filed concurrently in Aug 2007. Approved I140 (June 2008) & AOS pending. EAD & AP since Dec 2007.
I am currently working (full-time) for company A who started my GC process since last 3+ yrs. And lately I am realizing that my growth opportunity in terms of salary (more importantly) & career is very limited & been looking out lately. To an extent that I feel so frustrated that it has started to affect my social behavior.
Recently, couple of other employers have shown interest in me which align completely with my future goals. But, the problem is the following:
- they dont do H1-B & willing to hire me on EAD. Hopefully, AC21 should not be a problem as the prospective job will be in the same area.
- I am currently single planning to get married in a year or so. I want my spouse to have an option to be my dependent ie H4.
So, I have following questions to experts here which will help me decide what option to take:
1) Shall I go ahead with new employer & start using EAD ?
2) My GC doesn't seem to get approved for another year or so. Is it worthwhile to keep the option of my spouse being on H4 open & get myself frustrated & spoil my career in current company?
3) Can I move to EAD -> H1-B later? Maybe once I move out of this company A & join company B on EAD either company B or some other company may be ready to file H1-B petition ? This is just to open up the option of my spouse get H4.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance...

Just came accross this site. Not sure how accurate the data is, but looks like so far from 2002 there are only 701413 total pending 485 cases. I guess majority of those would be non employment based. Any one seen this data? Is this accurate?

Hi,
My wife's 485 is rejected with the following reason "The application/petition was filed on the outdated version of this form". The rejection notice has a receive date of July 1st 2010 and a LIN number. Now the problem-
My 485 was approved on July 8th, 2010 and I received a "Welcome to USA" notice on July 12th. My H1 has expired on July 14th, 2010 along with wife's H4 and our I-94's. We applied for both the H extensions in may. Now if we resubmit the 485 with the new application will the USCIS honor the July 1st receive date?
My main concern is on her status, any input will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I and my my spose applied for AP during April 1st week, both of our AP got rejected because of incorrect fee even though we paid correct fee (305$ each applicant), has any one been in this state, please share your experiences.
I have re-sent the application mentioning Advance parole does not require biometrics so additional 85$ fee is not required.
When I called USCIS they mentioned it might have been rejected in error, please share your experiences.

It's very painful to deal with these guys at times.
I also tried asking a finance broker about this and never heard back...
Have you tried apporaching another bank or some broker ?
(I was intrested to know if the can do a intrest only loan for 125% of current value...I would think no.....but perhaps no one has all the details ironed out yet)
Given a Chance will never deal with WF.. Horrible customer support.. and have bunch of jokers working for them..

Since there is a mad rush of i485 applications , USCIS is going to do lottery to select applications for approval.Rest of them will be rejected.
Just kididng guys, take it easy.
Just gave a thought about it. USCIS can do anything. People who got rejection in H1b lottery feeling bad still.

Did u call USCIS customer service and raised a service request for not receiving FP?. If not I guess you need to do that
We filed for adjustment of Status in August 2006 and received EAd's and travel documents. We have not yet received fingerprint dates. Will it take this long? Any advise on how to deal with this?

Seeing the enthusiasm of all the people on this message board, I would like to request IV Core to co-ordinate rallies in various cities by doing the following:
1. Facilitate a common date for all rallies through consensus
2. Facilitate the development of a common theme through consensus
3. Facilitate an official statement on our position on "employers that abuse the immigration system"
I propose that the San Jose rally organizers should act as advisors to other local chapters since they did a wonderful job organizing the rally.
Cheers

There is always an ad for rain gear in the back of photo mags by this one company...I can't think of their name at the moment but I'll find it when I get home. Stuff looks pretty neat.
I've seen those ads, but wonder how effective the products are. I bought one after seeing it in an add and it fits perfect with my 300 but with smaller lenses it's to big. I was hoping I might hear from someone who has one for a smaller lense (17-80 ish).

It would be not hard to make an IV facebook application that contains
- an install page,
- a page where our core issues can be listed and members can express support for each issue
- a page where running issues can be listed and members can sign petitions online (see capital fraternal caucus app as they push their greek related issues via Patton Boggs in Washington)
- and optionally a facebook bolstered discussion board.
The newsfeed feature/invite friends should help viral spread of the app.
A member suggested that it maybe a good idea to have IV presence on facebook. This will help increase our publicity among our friends whom we can recommend to join. Our aim is to get as much publicity and membership at this time so that we can succeed in our upcoming campaigns.
We have a group called 'Immigration Voice' on Facebook now started by IV core.
Could you now help us increase the publicity of IV on facebook among your friends so that we get more participation on IV site
Someone who knows facebook well, pls post ideas how we can use it best to our advantage.

Guys,
My wife is a Canadian citizen, what is the process of getting a H4 for her? (I am on an H1-140 approved).
1)Do I file an app with USCIS?
2)Can she go apply at the US consulate in Canada?
What type of documents, forms are involved ?
The reason for this post is I was given conflicting info by my old lawyer.
Thanks
Your wife should take an appointment at the closest US Consulate. She and you should then look up the list of documents needed on the website of that US Consulate.
thats how I did it for my wife but she was from India.
hope this helps.
Cheers

Hi,
My attorney had filed our 485 at Nebraska SC on July 30th. She didnt file EAD & AP.
On August 10th I myself filed EAD & AP at Nebraska SC. I got receipts for AP. For EAD, they have sent back our docs saying that 765 has been filed with improper fee (guy who picked the file is not aware of July VB fee valid till Aug 17th). So I have sent back the documents with a cover letter stating we come under July VB, after a week they sent back the packet again with same reason to file with proper fee of $340. I dont want to waste time and energy.. so this time I have sent $340 and after a week on Oct1 we got receipts for EAD.
Mean while I called USCIS to check the status of my 485 and luckily got the receipts numbers from them. The file has been transferred to Texas.
My questions are:
1.The received date on the EAD receipt is stated as September 27th. But the very 1st time we filed was August 10th. So would they treat our file as that filed on August 10th or Sep 27th???
2.My EAD & AP are at Nebraska and 485 is at Texas..would that cause any delays..concerns?
Anyone been thru such experience. Please throw some light.
Thanks in Advance
Indy.

if u file for 140, chances are that it will get approved before may 2007 is high. If u have an approved 140, you can get 3 year extension. If you seek extension based on labor, you will get 1 year extension. I recommend u to apply for 140 (if possible premium) ASAP. Even otherwise,you are fine to get an year of extension.

(I'm a new member to this forum)
My H1B extension was approved for only 6 months, based on the SOW (Client Contract) end date (rather than the usual 3 year extension).
I would be just about in my maternity leave for the pregnancy during the petition expiry and if my further extension is denied (god forbid), I was told that I would be terminated from my employers' payroll and I have to leave the country or change my status to Student, Visitor etc.
FYI: I'm working for this company since Oct 2005.
Is there any law that prohibits termination of a worker during her PREGNANCY DISABILITY LEAVE (MATERNITY LEAVE) Or FMLA (Family and Medical Leave) on the basis that the USCIS didn't approve the petition (god forbid)?

Washington DC has declared Sept 18 as car-free day encouraging commuters to leave car at home. For details see link below:
http://www.wmata.com/about/met_news/story.cfm?ID=1461
This suggests that on Tuesday car traffic in DC area may be less than normal, and public parking may be relatively easier to find. Normal daily parking is $12 to $16 within 1/2 mile of Washington Monument (familiar vertical landmark). Never-the-less, if possible, Metro rail is the hassle-free choice.

If you didnt initially use your EAD to work, you should be fine because you have a valid H1B! See my other thread on this matter please.
