Folks!
Like me all July filers would get off the H1-B hook come this Jan. I am assuming everybody would use newly gained freedom of EAD to switch employer or jobs. So far, not many employers like to get involved in H1 hassels ( espcialy in midwest), so recruiters had good business by hiring engineers at low rate and syphoning off majority share of the pay check.
But now, with 180 days (less than 75 days) limit over, all EAD holders are free to switch employers of jobs ( I know in same or similar capacity ... but that's not the point). The point is what would be the effect on current business contracting companies have? What would be the effect of EAD on their cost models and consistent revenues?
Not saying they would cease to exsist, as H1B's would still need them. But isn't new and bold demands from engineers like me going to affect their margins? ...What do you think?
It is true with Tri State hiring agencies also, all top tier firms with direct clients are trying to reduce layers by directly enrolling you on EAD - so come January - we will see a lot of people jumping.
Thsi is healthy for the candidate. H1b shops will have their own ways of doing business and will deifnitely see some challenge

My company had promised that they would start my GC processing once I complete a year which was in March 2009. Since then they have been going back and forth with the lawyers writing the job description to post the job ad.
The lawyer tells us that the department of labour has tightened up the process and so the job description needs to be very generic with minimum number of years of experience(2 for a sr. software engineer) and this has caused a lot of controversy that this will cause an audit and so on and forth.
I am sure there are many other people out there who are applying even now. I do not know if its the lawyer or the company that is causing an issue here.
My only option would be to search for another job who will do my GC. But i dont have so much time left for all that.
What can i do?

If you have the valid H1b stamped while your 485 is pending and got RN,FP done,you should not have any issues in POE.So are you done with your FP?? Its always safe you wait for FP and finish it and then decide your travel plans.

Why you are concerned? Even my wife opened the company and doing business.... That's what EAD is for....
Chill! Life is too small to worry about such things.. You are not doing ANYTHING illegal by opening a company. If anything, USCIS should be glad that their EAD is helping the ailing economy.

Hi
i was working with employer A (h1b tenure 2006---september 30 2009)...I applied for my extension and also transfer of h1b to company B..got h1b extension sucessfully from 09-2009 to 08/2012...
both the companies A and B are operated by same person..
I went for H1B stamping in november 2009 at Canada ottawa...in the mean time my employer has same adress for company A and company B..My employer has provided me a letter stating that company B has merged with company A so they have same address
The visa officer has found out that they share the same adress and questioned me what is the point of H1B transfer when they share the same adress and both the companies are merged and he refused my h1b visa..
My employer sugessted me to attend again the interview at the newdelhi consulate ..he has provided me the business license ,office land purchase documents and companies merging document...which i have submited to newdelhi consulate..
after 3 months the new delhi consulate sends me a visa denial letter
stating that
we are not able to issue you a visa because:
your petitioner doesnot either be able to provide qualified employment in USA
I129 petition filed on your behlaf has been submitted to USCIS...
My original I797 was returned to me at the time of interview
my question:
Can I apply for a H1B transfer and attend interview again for stamping as I have original I 797???
WHAT OTHER OPTION DO I HAVE...
Please let me know

My attorney signed my I-485 AOS/EAD/AP applications and posted them on July 2nd as he was in a hurry to apply because of July 2nd scenario. Is it ok for the attorney to sign our papers. Is anybody in the same boat as me. I am a little concerned as the USCIS FAQ says application can be rejected if signature is missing. The application reached USCIS on July 3rd.
Yes it is ok for Attorney to sign the papers. Did you authorize them to sign on your behalf?

I got approved email within 2 weeks but still waiting for the actual forms.. Just write Expedite on the top of the cover. Again, it depends on the Immigration officer.
Dear Friends:
(1) Is there a certain number of years for which an advanced parole given by the USCIS? Or, does it depend on what the applicant is writing, for ex, "I am planning a trip to XXX in between July 1, 2009 through 30 December 2010," and the parole is given on that many years of request?
(2) Also, once an advanced parole expires, should the applicant re-apply it continuosly until he/she receives his/her green card? In case of renewal, should the applicant apply for renewal before a certain number of months before the AP expires.
Thanks for answering, friends. This process is so confusing.

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.

There is not a dull moment this summer for us immigration lawyers, all thanks to good old USCIS. On 8/6/09 USCIS announced that it has reopened the fiscal year 2009 H-2B petition filing period and will immediately accept petitions. This is after closing the cap in January this year.
How could this happen? The Department of State received far fewer than expected requests for H-2B visas and as a result, has issued only 40,640 H-2B visas for fiscal year 2009 to date. This means that there are approximately 25,000 visas that may go unused, as they have not been granted. Because of the low visa issuance rate, USCIS is reopening the filing period to allow employers to file additional petitions for qualified H-2B temporary foreign nonagricultural workers.
But the catch is that filing and processing must be done by September 30, 2009. So those eligible must use the premium processing to do so. Also, employers must submit the Form I-129 Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker to USCIS with all required documents, including an approved Alien Employment Certification from the U.S. Department of Labor that is valid for the entire employment period stated on the petition. The petitioner must also indicate an employment start date before Oct. 1, 2009. Otherwise the case will be considered for fiscal year 2010.
These are good news for employers in the Hospitality and construction industries, as long as they have approved Labor Certification to be used. My guess is that there are not too many employers that filed for Labor Certifications knowing that visas will not last too long. But this is an indication for the future of the H2B visa and the cap restrictions. We call the government to lift the cap once and for all.

Yes, it resets out of status clock.

Please explain me if thats so important to file today the I-140 becouse just today the priority date are current.
I dont understand whats has the filing form I-140 to do with the priority Dates. Priority date is the PERM date??
