Can we get any help from these guyes?
They will want H1Bs to come back to India. Helping us with the greencard does not make any business sense.

Thank you wandmaker. This helps.
- But can a person be unemployed before the 180 days elapse? What happens if person is unable to find a job before 180 days?
- Also, per your information - can the person find a new job, change H1s and then wait for 180 days to send in a letter to USCIS?
The whole GC process is based on future employment which your employer undertook to give you on your getting GC. If your employer (who let you go) is still committed to that, you are fine, but that is unlikely. Best is just do nothing until 180 days pass, except finding another employer (no problem if you are unemployed in between) who is prepared to offer you same/similar job. Once 180+ days pass, you are ok provided your I-140 was already approved or is approvable. You may want to read bulletins on the subject USCIS has issued time to time.
Yes, you can wait for 180 days before telling USCIS about your new same/similar job. You don't need to change H1, just use EAD.

i don't believe there can be any guarantee against getting RFE or NOID. You can take precautions by following the regulations and yes having a job/job title in the same or similar occupations.
There is a lot of guidance about what constitutes "same or similar"... from USCIS
There are labor codes for every position/occupation in the Dept. of Labor...make sure yours falls within the same as directed by the USCIS guidance.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
I am planning to do concurrent filing on my PERM LC.
1. When will I get my AP/EAD? Will I get it only after I-140 is approved or I-140 approval does not matter?
2. Can I do premium processing on my I-140 in the concurrent filing?
3. Does premium processing available if another I-140 is already pending based on my LC Sub?
Please reply.
Thanks

Hello
I am a physician who is doing his residency on H1b. My wife has applied for green card with a priority date 4/2004 (employment based category 3). I have applied for my green card with her. Now we are in I 485 stage.
NOw that the way dates are progressing it seems it will take a while for her date to become current for EB3. I was wondering if I apply for green card when I finish my residency, can I recapture the priority date?
I'd appreciate your help. Thank you
can I recapture the priority date?
NO
PD are attached to either a Labor Certification or a I-140. It has to be your own LC or 140 in order to transfer the PD.

I've read the first two chapters of the book. The first chapter provides an excellent insight into the history of Immigration. Although we had some knowledge of how things progressed in recent past, this book provides is an extremely relevant and detailed true description of the events, the bills in 1990s, 2006 and 2007, and so on.
For those of us who care about our green cards and large debate surrounding the issues affecting us, you will find this book learning and worthy experience.

I'm not sure, but it does not sound like something positive. The only positive might be that they are looking at your file instead of putting it in some warehouse somewhere. I came across this thread where people were discussing this issue last year. You might want to take a look, there apparently were a variety of guesses for this. However it might be some sort of internal check/audit.

Dear Friends,
We recently moved our place and we are now in a new apartment.
We have immigration matters that needs to be updated but we don't know what we should do?
The following are affected
1. EAD
2. H1B
3. AP
4. I 485 related things.
My Ead and Ap has old address and the card also holds the same old address.
Could you please tell me what steps I must initiate to get this straightened out? Do I need a new EAD card? Please help me.
Thanks a ton!
Just go to online address change and do it for all your petitions.
On another note, is it true that people are getting RFEs when they do address change? Has anyone faced this?

My 6 years of H1B expires next month (April 2009). My PERM labor was applied in Feb 2008 and got approved last week. My question is, can I apply for 7th year H1B extension based on the approved PERM (since it was filed more than 365 days ago)? Attorney says there is not enough time to file I-140 and get it approved (even with Premium processing) before my H1 runs out next month.
From my research online there are two options to extend H1 beyond 6 years:
- PERM pending for more than 365 days, or
- I140 approved
What about the scenario where PERM is filed more than 365 days ago and approved, but no I-140 yet?
Gurus I'd really appreciate your inputs here!!
You are good to extend your H1B for 1 year.
You are eligible for premium I-140. If you have given exact date on your H1B expiry then I would have answered whether you can get I-140 approved before applying for H1B.
The benefit of applying H1B extension with I-140 approval is that you can get 3 years.
Now you can still get your H1B extended for 1 year. No second thought on that, don't worry too much on that. The PERM need not be pending for 365 days, it can be approved. The rule is you should have applied for PERM 365 days before asking for H1B extension, which is true in your case.
Good luck.

Folks,
Got a question on surrendering I-94 when leaving USA. Do we just need to surrender the one issued in POE when coming to USA, or we need to surrender the I-94 that came with I-797 approval notice as well. I'm getting different opinion from different folks, Some say surrender only the White one issued in POE, few say surrender the one attached to I-797 approval notice as well. One friend of my mine, was asked to show the part attached to I-797 when he went for visa stamping and luckily he surrendered only the white one issued in POE and he did not surrender the one attached to I-797, so he had it with him.
Folks, please share your experience on this.
Sorry for the new thread, if this had been discussed on other threads as well.
Thanks,

Dear IV Members,
Plans for Next Call
As I draft this post, we are working on the specifics of organizing the next call. We intend to have the call next friday, 20 Oct 2006, and are awaiting confirmation. Please watch out for more information on the forums in the next couple of days.
Range of questions for the upcoming call
At this time, the list of questions has been frozen for the next call. The range of accepted questions is between 71 and 100. This post is being communicated so that members can plan to be present for any follow-up questions they may request the attorney in real-time
Questions not accepted by the attorney
Questions with the following IDs were not accepted by the attorney for the upcoming call: 87, 91, 95, 99
Why was my question not taken up?
The following is a list of probable reasons why certain questions may not have been accepted. This list, is of course, not exhaustive.
- too complicated for a call requiring further discussion or research
- lack of clarity in the law on specific situations
- incomplete
- too generic
- frivioulous
- no previous incidence that the attorney can draw upon without significant research(new situation)
Sending us your questions
We also request members to not send emails from corporate email accounts. It is IV's policy to refrain as much as possible from sending email to members that may constitute as spam.
While we do not want to spam you, there might be exceptional situations wherein we may need to alert you of last-minute changes, and corporate email accounts might consider such alerts(if at all, any) as spam and may hence be filtered.
Keep 'em coming
Lastly, do not let a rejected question deter you from sending in new questions. We encourage you to keep sending in your questions so that we can leverage the attorney's pro bono service.
Enhancing and streamlining the conf. call process
We realize that certain questions may be time-sensitive, and may no longer be relevant when we finalize on a conference call date. Please bear with us as we streamline the process and make our response times better.
Thank you

I just noticed that the I-140 my lawyer submitted 3 months ago to Nebraska has a typo in my DOB (21/07/2978 instead of 21/07/1978). Yes its a thousand years out! A copy of my latest I-94 and visa both showing my correct DOB were also submitted with the I-140.
Do any of you guys think I'll have the I-140 rejected, recieve an RFE, or will the Nebraska officer just use common sense and amend it himself? What do you reccomend I do if anything?
