Hi,
I have an approved I140 and a PD of Apr 08. I am planning to change company .
Some where in May I heard the news that end of this year USCIS is going to halt concurrent filing of I-140 and I485 and introduce an extra step called Pre-App for I485 and which can only be done after I140 approval.
1) what are the chances that this would happen?
2) What will happen if one switches company after 180 days of PreApp of 485.
can he/she invoke Ac21 ?
3) will Pre-App makes one eligible for EAD/Parole ?
Thanks

I believe this topic hasn't been discussed on IV. Looks like the proposed changes are going to make lives of Consulting company employees much harder. Thoughts from IV members?

I filed my EAD online for the first time on May 9th. Yesterday I got an approved card for my wife and I. It is interesting how fast that came and that I did not need to send pictures nor did I go for fingerprinting. My initial finger printing and picture taken for 485 was used to give me the EAD
However, NSC issued the EAD for 1 year only. I called up help desk and asked them why 1 year and not 2 years. They checked their records and saw I was eligible for 2 year, then they transferred me to Level 2 support. The Level 2 support after looking at my case, put me on hold for sometime and then came back and said, the period of EAD was done at the discretion of NSC. So if I do not want it, I should send it back and ask them to reopen my case.
Guys any advise or should I wait for 1 year and hope next year they will issue a 2 year EAD?? I really do not want to send my EAD back...

well if there's a way for you to get your approved labor certification doc, or even the copy of the filed labor application; then definitely get it.
The labor app has the exact job description too. So if you do use portability (ac-21) it'll help to match it with the job specs of the new position.
good luck.

I have couple of questions regarding timeperiod for which I can stay outside US while my I-485 is pending . I had to undergo a re-do surgery of my back in India and was adviced complete bed rest till it heals due to which I am outside US since Jan ending till date
1) Will it effect my GC application as some say its not good to stay more than 180 days outside US continously.
2) I am on H1 status will it be a issue at POE to have gone for this long
3) What docs should I be carrying to awnser questions at POE.Is client letter mandatory or continued employment letter and I797 good
Kindly let me know your advice in this case

Hello,
My employer will be filing for my greencard (labour certification) within the next 2-3 months. I have a valid H1 B visa expiring next year. I was wondering if it is legal to travel outside the country at this stage ?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.

If you get laid off, hopefully you have enough years on your initial 6 yr H1 to work with another employer an apply for a new labor and get back on track.
Hi, I just joined the group. Is there anything scheduled so far?
I also have an immigration question.
My employer filed the PERM with EB-2 in September 2007. It was audited in November. Still waiting. I have the fear I could get laid off. If this will happen before the Labor Department approval, and before the 1-year renezaw of my H1-B (exp. Sept.08), what will happen? Do I loose everything?
Thanks for your support.

Hi Gurus,
Can Any Body Update Us With Any Latest On This Subjected Issue ?
Recently In I-140 Anybody Got Aproval With 3 Years Degree From Nsc ? I Am Talking About Eb-3 Cases.
I Understood That Something Was Going On But Could Not Get Any News So Far !
Can Anybody Give Lights If There Is Something Positive ?
I Hope Immigration Voice Will Also Take Up This Issue During Rally.
Thanks,

Congress Must Stop Playing Immigration Futbol - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/cq/20100708/pl_cq_politics/politics3698103_1)
..... Even as they battle each other, both parties are losing, too. By demanding ever harsher enforcement measures, Republicans are kicking away support from Latinos, the nation's fastest-growing demographic group.
And Democrats, by insisting on "comprehensive" reform to appease liberal and Latino activists, are losing the chance to enact incremental changes that might build a consensus for full reform.
....The idea of incremental reform has been advocated for years by the founder of the National Immigration Forum, Rick Swartz, but it has been resisted -- and still is -- by many activists who demand nothing less than earned legalization for most of the country's 12 million illegal immigrants.
.... A "down payment" bill ought to pass this year. After all, 11 Senate Republicans have supported immigration reform in the past. But the bottom line is that nothing at all will pass this year. What about next year?
Republican Conference Chairman Lamar Alexander (Tenn.) told me that 2011 should be the year for action both on the nation's debt problem and immigration -- but he said that "border security first" would continue to be the GOP mantra.
.... You'd like to think that maybe Republicans and Democrats could act like adults, call a truce and agree to compromise reform legislation gradually leading to legal status for illegal immigrants.
You'd like to think it, but it would be utterly -- and sadly -- out of character for those in power in Washington, D.C.

Hi All,
My Case:
I am planning to travel to India from 11-March till 27-March and my current petition(VISA) ends on 5-April. My company already filled for the extension process (on 30-Jan).
Three possible scenarios
1. If I get the extension approval before leaving to India, do I have to set up a stamping slot at the US consulate in India or can I just carry the new petition and while entering back in US just show that to the immigration officer.
2. If the approval comes on 26-March, what should I do, can I still travel to US without the new stamping.
3. If I dont get the approval till 27-March, can I travel to US with my old petition without any problem?
Thanks in advance
Gopi

Well that is quite simple isn't it?
If you have an object selected you see at the left "Position"
Click on that and then click on move pivot only, then you can move your pivot to the right and let it rotate differant

my colleague had same problem. Employer is a big bank. He called USCIS customer service at Vermont and they said they can see it and they told him it is ok if he dont see it online. He was not sure, took infopass and they also said same thing. But, after infopass, a week after that it showed up online. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

I saw a prior post talking about this issue but has no answer. I am very upset about it.
Vermont Center received my OPT Application on Oct 31,2008. But I checked my status online and it said, "Your case can not be found at this time in Case Status Online. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance please call the National Customer Service Center at 1.800.375.5283."
Could anyone who experienced this could tell me why? (I inputted the case number correctly.) Can you guys still get your OPT card after this happened?
Thanks a lot!

Hello guys,
If the employer is not willing to share your I-140 approval status with you, is there a way to find out this information from other sources?
I currently have my 485 & AP numbers but do not have I-140 number to track on the USCIS website.
Thanks for help in advance.
post the employer name and address so that other people will be careful working for him and also if employer comes to know about IV, he will stop these kind of things

I'm coming to the US for the first time on H1B. Do I need a one way or a return ticket? My travel agent told me that since I have a multiple entry visa (expiring on Oct 2011) a return ticket is not required unless I need to travel back home within one year. Could someone with knowledge about this issue help me out. I would really appreciate a reply from someone who recently landed in the US on H1B.
Thanks
Ticket does not matter if you are on H1B - one way should be fine.

I'm with Michael on the lizard shot ... maybe it's the disconnected rear foot that makes it look odd.
I REALLY like the water lily shot, Josh. The composition is beautiful, with the other lily pads forming a "circle of circles" counterbalance to the flower. Very, very nice ... in fact, probably my favorite of all your posted photos. (not that I have anything against the others)
