Don't worry, the same thing happenned with my wife (labor approval lost in mail) and it took her 3 months for 140 approval. For me, everything was fine and it took 6 months for 140 approval - isn't USCIS the best part of the American experience?:mad:

Hi,
My H1 B is valid until 2010 (mar). But considering my entry/exit (I94) dates - I will be completing my 5 years in next 2 months.
My query:
1. Do I have time until 2009 (mar) for filing the Labor?
2. Can I file GC in the 6th year of H1 B, if yes what are the consequences?
Thanks in advance
Yes you ahve time. But don't wait hurry up, we need not get surprised if they change rules even....
Any way for March 2009 you have only 6 months you have so much work to do like paper adds, etc... so... All the best

Here is a memo from one of the law firms, I found on the net.
http://www.michaelpiston.net/documents/m/changing%20employer%20after%20I-485%20is%20approved.pdf
After digging thro' forums it seems everyone talks about having the "intention" of staying with the Employer after GC.
Here's my question.
- Should the "intention" be on the day of filing 485 or the day you get GC ? (a date in future that no one can predict).
If the "intention" has to be at the time of 485 filing then, after 180 days of filing 485 one should be able to change employers, irrespective of the case being approved or NOT.
thoughts/comments ??

I think this is due to bi-specilization program USCIS started lately. H1's are processed at CSC & VSC just like I-140's processed at TSC & NSC.
So your application would have gone to VSC when they share the applications for processing, though you belong to CSC.
I believe my resoning is correct!

If you hold a green card and know in advance that you must be outside the United States for more than one year, it's worth applying to USCIS for a reentry permit (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-46E25CCD-3076-4CAE-B8909FA9BFF73FEA.html). This lets you to stay away for up to two years.
You should send in your application before leaving. Your reentry permit will serve as an entry document when you are ready to return. Reentry permits cannot be renewed and can be applied for only inside the United States. If you want to stay away for more than two years, you must return briefly and apply for another reentry permit.
The Nebraska Service Center (NSC) of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued an advisement in June 2009 regarding a change in procedures related to requests for rescheduling biometrics (fingerprinting) appointments for applications for reentry permits. The NSC has advised that all applications for reentry permits will be denied if the fingerprinting is not completed within 120 days of filing. The procedures for requesting expedited fingerprinting have not changed. I assume this is due to fact that many Green Card holders living abroad were trying to apply for the permit from overseas. In order to stp the practice, USCIS is trying to impose the strict biometrics schedule to make sure applicants apply form inside the US.
Applicants either have to appear at their scheduled appointments or request to be rescheduled. This request must occur before the appointment date. A request for rescheduling must be accompanied by a reasonable excuse for the inability to appear for the scheduled appointment. Rescheduled appointments are set within a maximum 30-day timeframe. Applicants should plan their travel accordingly, as the announcement is absolute with respect to the 30-day timeframe.
Here is a good tip to avoid one's green card being considered automatically abandoned under law, it is important to return within one year, at the latest.

We have the same notice date - 10/11 but my receipt date is 7/03. And I got my EAD on 10/26. They may be starting a system to process EAD/AP by receipt date. But still...who knows what they are doing it.

Overtime is paid only if you are a non-exempt employee - usually means you get paid hourly. If you are an exempt employee, then you are not eligible for overtime. Not sure if this is different in different states, but that is how it works in Ohio.
Same is true here in CA (Only non-exempt employees get overtime).
Again, check with your state agency regards to overtime pay..... or consult a employment attorney...

Folks, can security check uncover unauthorized part time work whiles on H1. Will this be reported to USCIS? If so will that be a basis for denial for a green card? Any information or precedence?
How did you get paid for it ?? It went to taxes through your social security # like a regular job ??

My date will be current from September 1st. Is it okay to travel to India on a short trip while the date is current? If 485 gets approved while I am india, can I still come back on advance parole?

As far as i know, the masters cap has no bearing on the educational level (bachelors/masters/PhD) of the job, as long as you've had a masters from an american university, you are eligible to use it, the RFE could be for some other reason, talk to your lawyer and figure it out.

Hi,
I recently went through same situation for my spouse on H4. You have 3 options:
1. Call the CBP office where you got I-94 or local CBP office (You can find in Internet, mostly in International Airports) and request them to update thhe I -94. Which may or may not be possible technically. But you may try calling them and schedule an appointment and try this option.
2. Go out of country and come back.
3. File a I539 form to extend non immigrant status. Your employer should help you file it or you may file yourself. It should go to same USCIS service center or office which approved your H1 or H4.
Disclaimer: I am not a attorney. This comment is based on my experience. Please consult and attorney for any legal advise.
For H1b you cannot file I 539 but need to file I 129 which will cost lot more. I guess going out of country and coming back is good option. if you live near border area.

I filed my I-102 to receive an I-94, ill update this when I hear back from them.
When I receive the receipt, could I use that for the RFE? I don't think i'll have my I-94 to give to them in the 80 days I have left?
Thanks, bump.

It will never happen here. Even if it does happen, it will still have an annual quota, which would lead to priority dates.
