She definitely would have issues if plan to travel in TN visa. TN visa is not supposed to have any immigration intent.
The best thing to do is change her status to parolee and start working using EAD. There is no reason for her to continue in TN status, after filing 485.

Hi,
I am Indian national on H1B, waiting on priority date to be current to file for I-485. My wife is currently working on TN visa. Will there be any issue with her being on TN status when I file for adjustment of status (for me and for her together). What options I can consider in advance so that I-485 process will not halt with last minute surprises.
Thanks in advance

Because, if my applications(I-140 & I-485) reached today(Friday) I am safe as I have included the old filing fees for I-140. If the receipt date is Monday(July 30th), then USCIS would expect me to pay the new fees for I-140. Hence my concern.

I got EAD on February 2008 with my primary GC employer. My PD is just 4 months away and I got a job offer in a big company which I cannot afford to loose.
The the job duties in my new job remain the same but I am worried to change job during this time when PDs are jumping very fast. The max I can delay the joining my new employer cannot be more than a 1 month. Please suggest the best approach...
The best approach is to go ahead and change the job. What are you worried about? File AC 21 via new company's lawyer.

Hope your issue is already resolved. But a friend of mine, his PERM application was also denied. But they filed an Appeal and immediately, next day, they applied for his H1-B extension (7th yr) and it got approved.

Current employer A, H1B cap-exempt and in 2nd year. Both H1B and attached I-94 will expire on 7/5/2009.
New employer B, H1B cap-subject, required starting to work on July 7/27/2009 or I may loose my offer.
I-485 is pending > 180 days. I have EAD and AP in hand. On 2/4/2008 I used AP once and the entry I-94 says PAROLED until 2/3/2009.
One attorney suggested to be able to start to work for employer B on 7/27/2009, I�ll need to file a new H1B (or you call it transfer) petition before 7/5/2009, requesting the start date on Labor Condition Application to be 7/27/09. The new H1B effective date will still be 10/1/2009.
Regardless the issue of going back to H1B from parole, my question is what is my status during the gap between 7/5/2009-7/27/2009 (before LAC effective) or 7/5/2009-9/30/2009 (Before new H1B effective)?
The other question is when you apply for H1B extension/transfer after using AP, which I-94 did you gave to USCIS?

This plea is for people who are still undecided about the rally and have lot of friends in the same situation. If there is a group of friends in the same situation it only takes one brave soul to make a decision and every one will jump in. We all seen this in trivial matters like going for vacation, movies etc..
I see the problem is in taking the first step and others will jump right in immediately. So if your friends look up for you to make the decision, please be a leader and do it now. You will not only make a difference in their life and their life as well.
Can you take that elusive first step?????. People in and around DC area it's only a day trip. Atlanta/NC/SC folks, not too late. Please PM either me or ramus.

I agree with Kanshul. You don't need AP just to remain in the US, however I strongly recommend getting it even if you don't plan to travel. You will need it if there is an emergency and it is difficult to get at short notice. There are many messages on this board from people who had to travel unexpectedly before AP was approved and wonder if they can return to the US.

First of all you would need a visa to visit UK.
I don't think Malaysian nationals residing legally in US and travelling to UK need a visitor visa...But I am not sure if UK visa law considers pending I-485 (AOS) a valid status....If you still maintain a valid H1 status but plan to re-enter on AP, you should be ok in my view...

Looking at the responses from admins and core group on the Frist Bill threads it appears that the strategy for IV is to
(i) Send mass faxes to senators to establish IV as a significant org
(ii) Use the above leverage and QGA contacts to try and include additional favourable clauses in the bill while still supporting the bill as is.
The 2 main broad clauses that everyone seems to have consensus on is
(A) Re-instatement of AC-21 (paragraph 5) in full so that oversubscribed countries are eligible to use left-over visas from the rest of the world.
(B) Ability to file I-485 while the visa number is retrogressed.
This thread is to discuss alternatives for these 2 main clauses so that various options can be discussed with Senators if they are not willing to put these clauses as is:
For example:
(A) AC-21 clause alternatives
1. Put in the clause for a limited time period like 5 years, this will relieve the curretn backlog as well as make sure that the immigration per country numbers are not skewed for ever.
2. Increase the per-country limits to 25% so it may be skewed but not that much
3. Increase the per-country to 25% for a limited period of time ( 5 years)
4. Have per country limit 10% on current year only. But for recapture from previous years do not impose per country limit.
(B) Filing I-485 when priority dates not curretn
1. allow for filing if I-140 approved and priority dates stilll not curretn
2. allow for filing of 6 months has passed since I-140 approved and priority dates curretn
3. USCIS favourite :-) allow filing if 45 days has passed since I-140 has been filed and priority dates not curretn.
Pleas pitch in with alternative ideas on these 2 main clauses.

Hi,
I am wondering if anybody had done this before: I want to work part time (20 hrs/week) for 6 months( and no other job). I am on H1 but I also have EAD. So I am wondering if there are any implications to this such as I need to amend my H1b , because of some obscure law my GC process will be affected. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Is it possible to extend H4 status after using EAD for a person whose I-485 pending in derivative status.
I read Cronin Memo reg. dual intent "Revision of March 14, 2000 Dual Intent Memorandum"
It seems to discuss reg. using AP to enter the country and maintaining H status.
Not sure if anyone here has done the extension of H4 after using EAD.
Cronin memo:
Cronin Memo (5-16-00) | Carl Shusterman (http://shusterman.com/h1blvisasmemoworkingadvanceparole.html)
Appreciate any comments reg. this,
There's no 100% clear law/rule on that situation and it's somewhat up to the consulate to decide. In theory, she should have no problem getting an H-4 visa at all. However, that's based on a USCIS position saying that your underlying H-1B work authorization remains valid, even after you travel using a Parole. You're correct, though, that there's always been a logical problem with that CIS position, since your status is technically Parolee. Since the consulates are run by the USDOS, they are allowed to take their own position on that problem, so there's always at least some risk of them causing problems with an H-4 visa application. so it is better to file an H1B amendment and go for H4 stamping.

Silicon Valley Immigration Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
An earlier blog post "Silicon Valley Employers Need to Prepare for Surprise USCIS Visits" (http://www.siliconvalleyimmigrationlawyer.com/2009/10/silicon-valley-employers-need.html#more) described the "new normal" of USCIS employees or contractors showing up unexpectedly and inquiring about past visa petitions and foreign national workers. A recently held Department of Homeland Security program, titled, "2009 Government and Employers: Working Together to Ensure a Legal Workforce" sheds more light onto the types of visits being conducted.
Ronald Atkinson, Chief of Staff of USCIS' Fraud Detection and National Security (FDNS) (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=0353f8e5492ec110VgnVCM1000004718190aRCR D&vgnextchannel=2af29c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD) office, explained the three types of site visits that are currently being conducted:
Risk Assessment Program fraud study. Applicable to any type of benefit program, including family and employment-based visas, this study is part of a joint program between USCIS and ICE (Immigration Customs and Enforcement). Applications and petitions are chosen at random, usually on a post-approval basis, for visits to help in designing profiles of potential fraud.
Targeted site visits. These visits take place where fraud is suspected, and consist of a visit to ask questions. Advance notice, including notice to counsel, is supposed to be provided.
Administrative site visits. These relate to religious worker and H-1B petitions (http://www.geelaw.com/lawyer-attorney-1054805.html). They generally are conducted by contractors who know nothing of immigration law. Religious worker visits are performed under the regulations for that category. For H-1B site visits, the contractors have been equipped with a set of specific questions, and all employers/beneficiaries should be asked pretty much the same questions, primarily reaching the issues of whether there's really an employer there, whether the employer knows it filed the petition, and whether the beneficiary is doing the work and receiving the wage indicated on the petition. H-1B visits are done on a post-adjudication basis, and are randomly selected. Each employer should receive only one such visit, but may receive different visits for different sites.

Hello Madam/Sir,
I have applied in EB2-NIW category and filed I485 concurrently during July-August 2007 season. My wife also did the same to maximize the chance. Both of our I140 were approved recently.
Now, we have two sets of I485 pending (in one, I am the primary applicant, my wife is the dependent and in other, she is the primary applicant and I am the dependent). We both are doing job in the same company in the same position. Since we are from India, it will take probably a long time before our I485s get approved. Since the economical sitatution is not well in recent time, we planned to keep both I485 active in case something unforeseen happen to one of us; so that the other set of application will still be active.
We recently got a RFE for our birth certificate/parentage information. We have got birth certifactes from Indian Consulate, affidavifits from our mothers (since mothers name was not included in original birth certificate) and letters from our schools.
Since we were not sure whose EB2-NIW application would be approved, we kept both sets of I485 application active. Now, we were wondering if there is a problem in having multiple I485 pending at USCIS (of course they are related to differenet I-140). We would like to know if it is better to withdraw one set of application at this point. Is there any risk of cancellation of both I485 due to multiple submission?
Your answers/views will be highly helpful for us. Please reply.
Thank you so much, in advance.
