Hi All,
I just joined a new company and would like to use AC21 as I will be working on EAD. 140 is approved and 485 is pending for more than 180 days. New job is same or similar as per ONET job code.
My question is,
Is it necessary to involve your attorney or you can simply go ahead and file AC21 yourself?
I would like to what others have done? What kind of extra fees your attorney has charged for AC21?
Thanks
There is nothing called AC21 filing ie AC21 does not have a form that you fill out etc.... generally Attorneys attach the docs with a covering letter citing the AC21 clause and from what I understand, these docs may/may not get into your file.
The advantage of using an Attorney is,
(1) G28 filing - Attorney will get communication and be in position to respond or guide appropriately
(2) NOID, RFE and denials might happen and MTR may have to be filed.
Most times, issues arise when old employer withdraws the 140 petition.
USCIS needs to have a better way of handling this and avoid unnecessary tensions and errors

Thanks for your reply.
Is there any way that i can start working immeadiatly after getting the approval (May 2010), like Premium processing or COS immeadiatly ?
Thanks,
-Srinivas
ravise is absolutely right, u will get H1 for the period remaining (6 years minus time spent on L1). Also, if u file in next year's quota (filing starts in Apr 2010), it cannot have a start date earlier than Oct 1, 2010. I don't think u can start working on H1 before that date, even if u file premium.
Why don't u ask you company to file in current year's quota -- there are still visas available.

Mine got approved in about 2 months time. My labor certificate reached the lawyer who passed it on to my employer.
I did a big mistake of not asking for a copy and again when I received it while filing I140 - did not make a copy again.
Please save a copy for yourself - it helps a lot while switching jobs during AC21.
Hope this helps.
Thanks. But how long did it take to get the physical copy after the online approval / approval mail from DOL.
I assume, you would have signed the labor before applying for I140.
Pls clarify.

Hi all,
My insurance company (Progressive) is charging a ridiculously high rate for liability only insurance for my H4 spouse who currently holds a valid permit. They say the rate will go further up when she gets a perm license after passing the road test.
I have heard this issue from other H1Bs who have different insurance carriers than mine.
Have you guys found a cheaper alternative? Insurance agents etc??
gchopes
Cool... surely it is not because of H1&H4. Some factors like
accident history
age
worth of car
zip code
previous claims
etc may infulance.

But my pemanent address is " X " only. I want to continue that for my full GC process.

Hi Gurus
One question for you
Can A2p the wages be pro rated ?
if monthly wages for an employees is 1000 per month then it should be 12000 per year) company need to prove the ability to pay $12000 per year.
but what if the LC was filed in mid year for example June 2005 and CIS RFE is asking to proof ability to pay (only One year) 2005
can it been showed as June - december = 7 month and onwards
$1000 x7= 7000
is it good approch or no
Thanks

Anybody filed your H1 ext yourself? Is it worth it?
This will be my 12th yr extension. I have the previous extension papers (copies) that the lawyer sent me, so i was thinking i can look at those and draft a new ext myself. But with the latest news of H1 denied for consulting companies, is it worth doing it myself? I have worked for the same client for the last 11 yrs.
Everybody else would also like to do the same thing. Instead of Paying 3500 dollars to the attorney plus other fees by the employer. I feel its good to do it by yourself. If you have anything wrong USCIS would contact you back and you can reply on those. if it becomes a major thing, then you can hire a attorney.
I feel someone should post all the steps to file
1. H1B transfer
2. EAD
3. AP
4. I-485 (As for EB-I it would take a long time)
5. All other forms
Its not worth paying the attorneys for such a long time. Let USCIS take the trouble of correcting our errors

Guys,
I switched my job in first week of October this year and My new employer filed the H1B transfer petition on Sep 26 (USCIS Receipt date). It has been almost two months and USCIS online status still shows case received and pending, while California State Center processing dates shown Oct 15 which is 20 days after Sep 26.
Is there anyone who has expereineced the same and want to share?
I am bit concerned because my employer has started the GC process and will be ready to submit the PERM application in few weeks.
Thanks in advance.

ComputerWorld (http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9142806/Court_orders_three_H_1B_sites_disabled) reports about a New Jersey judge that has ordered the shutdown of three H-1B opposition Web sites.
Middlesex County Superior Court Judge James Hurley ordered firms that register domains and provide hosting services -- GoDaddy Inc., Network Solutions, Comcast Cable Communications Inc. and DiscountASP.Net, to disable the three sites, ITgrunt.com, Endh1b.com, and Guestworkerfraud.com. Facebook Inc. was also ordered to disable ITgrunt's Facebook page.
The order was made in response to a libel lawsuit filed by IT services and consulting firm Apex Technology Group Inc., based in Edison, N.J. against the three Web sites opposing the H-1B visa program (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html). Such attacks on H1B supporters increased last year as the economic situation was gloomy, and prospects for employment were not looking good. Yet, we all know that the H1B program is not the cause of all evil and in fact is a boosting factor in creation of new jobs and opportunities for American workers. Lets hope that the antis will take it easy in 2010, and focus on the real issues at stake.
