Company A is losing business and is not in a position to pay for H renewal. I have offer from Company B and they are doing H transfer.
Question
1. Can i switch to EAD with Company A and keep H with Company B untill Jan 2, 2008 when i am safe to use AC 21.

My wife received the FP notice 3 weeks ago and her FP is tomorrow. I never received it even though I am the primary applicant. I do see updates on my I-485 application but no FP notice. The USCIS center is quite far away from my home. Can I try to go there with my wife and see if they can do my FP also tomorrow or is that a lost cause?

My employer needs to pay me back wages for 3 months from Dec-2008 to Feb-2009. I travelled to India in March and informed the employer about the same after reaching India. Now the employer have filed a civil case against me for contract dispute. Can I file a complaint against my employer in Department of Labor, to get back the pending wages till March from outside the country?
Please help, as we are in a difficult financial situation and I cannot pay the employer the amount he demands for contract dispute, if the court rules against me, unless he pays me my pendng wages.
As per your post, your employer did not pay you for 3 months and yet he filed a case for breaking a contract. What contract does he say you have broken ?

Guys, Sorry for my ignorance but
I was checking vfs-usa.co.in website and in "Immigrant Visas for East & West " section, its written
An immigrant visa allows the person receiving it to live and work indefinitely in the United States. Immigrant visas are issued based on approved I-129F, I-130, I-140, I-360, or I-600 petitions that establish a family- or employment-based relationship between the petitioner and the beneficiary.
I have my I140 approved through a american company and my h1b is getting expired in june 09.
According to above wordings, I can get a visa to live and work indefinitely,based on my approved I140. I have never heard about it.
Might be some one can explain what is exactly means.
Thanks in advance!!!!

Ok, so the above says that you can get a "immigrant visa" based on approved 140 (for your case). In order to get that "immigrant visa" that will allow you to work "indefinitely", you need to actually apply for the the "visa". Based on your 140, you can apply for this "immigrant visa" in two ways. If you are outside of the country, do what is called "consular processing" where you apply for a immigrant visa at a US consulate in a different country. If you are already (legally) in the US, you apply for what is called adjustment of status. The problem is that these "immigrant visas" based on 140 are in short supply compared to demand. Join the queue.
... so whats your confusion?

VB will come today.
I am going to ask my lawyer why it is late. It is is generally on Fridays in the first week on the month.
We should hope for a good VB as it is delayed. If it was copy paste, it would have come out sooner.
What do you say?

I was on I-485 status on my EB3 application working on EAD. My I140 for Eb2 application got approved today while also requesting porting of priority date.
I believe USCIS would have automatically switched the 485 application to use the new EB2 I-140 instead of old EB3-I140
Now my question I am ready to renew my EAD. I wanted if there will be any problem with my EAD application since it is now transfered to an Eb2 position.
My pririty date is still not current....
EAD is based on a pending I-485, you should go ahead to renew your EAD (as you work in EAD, do not let it expire). Consult a lawyer, send additional documentation along with the package that you have done so-and-so transfer.

Hey BacktoSchool
If you have EB3 2002 labor approved( I have not seen that in your post) now.
If the above statement is true, then File another labor in EB2 through perm which will be approved in 6 months.
Get I-140 of both EB3 and EB2 labor approved via premium.
USE EB3 priority with the EB2 labor, that means you can file for I-485 and get EAD because the proprity date EB2 category is accepting is Jan-2003 and your priority is June 2002.
Think on this, ask your employer and lawyer, couple of my friends are doing this.
In max six months time you will be eligible for I-485

Are you kidding or serious?
AC21 is applicable only if I-485 is pending, once I-485 approved you don't have to tell any one.
Friends, I would like to know if I change job after I-140 & I-485 approval, do I still need to notify USCIS about AC-21. Also, will it require my new employer to provide a letter of job duties to confirm that the new job is either same or similar to the old one.
Thanks

Hi All,
I have a question regarding the status check of the 485 process. Does USCIS change the Updated date (maybe a soft LUD) before approval/completion of processing of 485 on the Case Status.
I know its a yes/no/maybe not always kinda answer but I wanted to check with those who already had approved 485s if they had noticed updates before the Approval. If yes, what is the usual timeframe after the update when the approval has been noticed.
I am sure, like me :) you must have kept checking the Case Status page like crazy once the dates were current so, please respond and I am sure many will benefit from your responses.
I am sure, many of you who are still waiting like me,already have friends who went thru this process, so, even your inputs are welcome.
Thanks,
Amar.
In my case, it did not. The I-485 application status changed directly to "Approval notice sent". Then next day I got "Card production ordered" and after that "Welcome notice sent".

Thank you for contacting me regarding the immigration debate in the
U.S. Senate. It was good to hear from you.
As you know, in the 109th Congress, the Senate considered changes to
immigration law. These efforts would affect more than just undocumented
workers here in the United States � it would affect every American in
one way or another.
I supported the bipartisan Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of
2006, S. 2611, when it was considered in the Senate during the 109th
Congress. This bill would have provided many new provisions for border
security and enforcement and to address legal and illegal immigration. The
legislation would have provided funding to reinforce hundreds of miles
of existing border fences and establish a �virtual fence� comprised
of cameras, sensors, automated aerial surveillance tools, and other
security measures. The bill would also have authorized funding for
additional Customs and Border Patrol agents to assist with security efforts,
and required employers to have a system to verify the required
documentation from potential workers. S. 2611 would have increased the number
of visas for high-skilled workers, including those who have earned an
advanced degree. Finally, the bill would not have allowed for amnesty,
but it would have provided a meaningful way to address the legal status
of undocumented workers who currently live in our country.
Under the Senate proposal, undocumented workers could have earned legal
status after completing all the requirements to begin to adjust their
legal status. These requirements include filing an application, payment
of all fines, fees, and back federal income taxes, and providing proof
of being physically present in the United States and being employed for
five years prior to the bill�s enactment. Undocumented workers must
then continue to show proof of employment and being present for at
least six years after the bill would have gone into effect. Individuals
must also demonstrate basic citizenship skills, pass security and law
enforcement requirements, and complete Selective Service registration
requirements.
As you may know, the comprehensive immigration bill passed the Senate
on a bipartisan vote with the support of the White House. The House of
Representatives passed another version of immigration reform that
emphasized enforcement only. Instead of meeting in conference to negotiate
differences in the respective bills, the House held a series of public
hearings around the country, and refused to meet with Senate
negotiators, and the 109th Congress ended without this issue being addressed.
I believe that we need a comprehensive approach to immigration reform.
Enforcement is important, and securing our borders is important. But
if we focus only on enforcement and border security, then we will only
have addressed part of the problem. Many of the current proposals are
unworkable and would ultimately cause more harm to our economy and our
country. Our immigration policy should also provide positive change for
the future of our country. We should make sure our actions reflect our
security, our economy, and the opportunity that America has offered for
generations of immigrants.
As we move forward to the 110th Congress, please know that I will keep
your thoughts in mind as Congress begins to work on immigration reform.

The only diff b/w these illegals vs legals is education. These illegals r uneducated and dont fear law and can go to any extent as opposed to legals who're well educated. At the same time, the Tri-valley situation brings to the fore the credibility of educated indians too!!! All those students came to US "legally" but started violating the law from the word GO by working at Gas stations, Mc Donalds etc...to make ends meet. Infact some even got in very well knowing that it was not completely legal as the guy from the university who was bringing ppl was a desi who worked for the university and forged fake documents for the students.
Overall, the Indian immigrant's image is at stake right now and this might lead to enforcing new laws against legal immigrants (read scrutiny, queries etc...)
Spot on. Pretty sure at least some of the students were complicit, even though on the news everybody claims innocence. How hard is it to get information about a university in the Bay area, seriously? Everyone in India knows someone living in the Bay area. I guess if legal immigrants are getting involved in rackets like Trivalley, then it's logical that either the laws have to be enforced or they need to be changed.

"The cut-off dates are the 1st, 8th, 15th, and 22nd of a month, since VO groups demand
for numbers under these dates. (Priority dates of the first through seventh of a month are grouped under the 1st, the eighth through the fourteenth under the 8th, etc.)"
comments appreciated.......

its back to the same question: IS MBA worth the time and money!
facing stagnation ..in our eternal wait for GC...what are the risks of not pursuing an MBA in you want to further or change ur career later on!
its not all bad to pursue PT..provided u make the right concentration choice!
There are success and failues in Pt programs! My friend got his MBA (PT) from UIC ..nowhere in any list..;-)...and landed a job as a director of IT for a consulting firm...his benefits and all tops 180K..now..its up to you to figure out how big a paycheck makes you a happy man.;-)
There will always be the traditionalists who believe Old school MBA is the best!..but..how many desis have the luxury of stopping work and going FT.
both arguments are valid....but to succeed in PT..go by ur gut ..
duniya ..hope par chalithi hai.;)
