I have filed my H1B extension on November as my H1B is expiring on 23rd Feb.
I haven't got my approval yet. I have currently EAD and my I140 approved.
My question is if I don't get my approval on or before 23rd Feb what will happen to my status?
My Lawyer said once you filed you have 140 days (or 160 days forgot) for approval meaning even if it does not get approved on or before I will be on H1B till I complete 140 days from date of filling. Otherwise I will be on EAD status.
Please advise.
I am pretty sure that once you have applied for H1 extension you can continue to stay even after the H1 expiry date till it gets approved without having to use or convert to EAD. Confirm this with others too.

Hi!
My H1B was filed on April 1st 2007 at Vermont Service Center while i was in India and got selected in the lottery. I came to US on May 13th on H4 visa (I 94 valid till July 18, 2008) and still my papers were under process.
On June 1st, 2007 the approval notice was sent to my employer.
Oct 1st, 2007 they applied for my change of status and on 19th it was returned back as a check for 500$ was not included.
Kindly let me know if we could go for a H1B Transfer and change of status simultaneously with a new employer.
Within what time line i need to apply for the same.
Thanks,
SV
If you need to switch employer you should be on valid H1 status with SSN and have paystubs from current employer for safe side.
Pl consult good immi lawyer for best advice/lawyer of new employer.

I'm currently working for Company A on H1B Visa. My GC is sponsored through Company B as a future employee. I never worked for Company B which has sponsored for my GC. I have applied for I485 and I140 has been approved for more than 6 months.
Company A is going through lay offs and wont be able to apply for my GC. My 6 yr limit on H1B from Company A will expire next year.
Can i apply for H1B extension through Company A based on my I-140 from Company B.

Once again, I urge people to take discussions of individual cases to Immigration Portal.
See our posting guidelines (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/announcement.php?f=2) visible above the forum threads.
"Please note that the purpose of our forums is to discuss our campaign and agenda. We want to foster a positive, constructive, discussion about our cause. Solutions for individual cases and problems, debates on the benefits of living in different countries etc. are better addressed on forums like Immigration Portal.
Posts that denigrate members, potential members or even anti-immigrant groups are not welcome - such posts are against Immigration Voice principles."
When my paperwork was transferred from CSC to TSC I posted on Immigration Portal not IV. We need IV forums to focus on activism.
best,
Berkeleybee

I am a freelancer and I plan to write an article for a California based Asian Newsletter about the political views of the Immigrant community.
Most EB Immigrants (now citizens) have forgotten what's it like to be an "Immigrant in a limbo". Let's remind them!! Your thoughts might inspire someone to reconsider their decisions.
I was in your shoes in the mid 90's. and I am aware that most of you are in the midst of a messy immigration process.
But, if you had an opportunity, who would you choose and why?
post your official contact info (not some @yahoo.com email address) and interested members can contact you with their views.

AFAIK
One may enjoy only one status (either H4 or H1) at any point of time. So if your wife is on H4 there is no "still valid H1". That said,
1] The COS from H4 to H1 will not be counted against the annual cap in this case - see Dec 2005 (or 2006) memo.
2] I am not sure what your trying to ask but COS from H4 to H1 will not be counted against for next year's annual cap.
3] See Processing Center dates

It all depends on their background check and security requirements.
As a non-US citizen your EAD has the same worth as a H1B for these jobs. Same is the case for LPR's for US Federal jobs with various security clearance checks (where only US Citizens can apply).
I know contractors who work without citizenship, but for a employee it looks like US Citizenship is a basic necessity. Do you have any first hand knowledge? Thanks in advance.

hi,
i have a question whether to use EAD or H1B? Initiallly i re-entered into usa after finishing my first 6yr term of H1B in June 05 on H1b. Later changed employer. New employer filed my GC using existing labor (EB3) in 2006 and also filed for i-140 & i-485 in oct 2007. so the transferred h1b is expiring on 06/2009. my ead expired in Oct 2008. I am thinking of renewing EAD than H1b which i am planning to file in this month (Feb, 2009).
questions:
1. If i go back to India in Mar 09 - Can I come back using EAD (Once its approved and someone sends my EAD & AP to India) as i haven't used EAD?
2. my transfered H1b is expiring on Jun 09 and i don't want to go to Madras to stamp the transfered company's visa on my passport as i doubt to get it - the Consulate might ask me so many questions when its expiring in june why you want to go to usa for 3 or 4 months.
3. The best bet - do i need to wait for my renewal of EAD & AP and then leave?
Please let me know as my travel plans are dependent on this.
thanks and appreciate your prompt response
thank you.
I would go with 3. Wait here until AP approved and then leave the country. I didnt hear good experiences with mailing AP out of country.

Hi,
I just want to know as to will the Green Card process happen faster if the State of GA were to sponsor it?
Request you to reply soon.
Thanks
I have not heard of any specific quota for Govt agencies, maybe they have, can anyone confirm it?
I think there is no specific govt quota, everything goes through the EB process

Hi,
My 9th year H1 expires this month and I am planning to use EAD to continue in my job (not extending my H1B). Can you please tell:
1) What do I need to do to with respect to Employer and USCIS to move to EAD status from H1B?
let your HR know you are switching and they will have you fill in a new form for their files
2) I read in some forum posts: there is a new law OR amendment - people working on EAD with adjustment of status will be deported.. we need to continue maintaining H1B status..is it legitimate?
No
3) My current Advance Parole is valid till Oct'09. As I move to EAD, is AP renewal required for any other reason other than travel purpose?
EAD and AP are 2 separate things and neither affect each other. They are both based on a pending 485 application and that's about all that is common with those 2 filings.
Thanks
AjaySri
Hope this info helps.

My I-485 is pending, was filed in July, 07. My PD is June, 04 (EB2 India). I-140 is approved. I have to leave the US for a year to work on an expat assignment beginning last week of December, 07. I have my EAD and AP. Also, I am on a valid H1-B until May, 2008 but will be applying for an extension until May, 2009.
Please let me know your thoughts if it would be ok for me to leave the US for a continuous period of one year while my I-485 is pending? I plan to renter the US on H-1B and not EAD/AP.
Also, does one need to be physically present in the US to renew EAD and AP? My EAD and AP will expire in September, 07 but will I be able to renew them when I am back in Jan,09?
For the period I am gone, do I need to pay any taxes on my foreign-earned income if I am going to a jurisdiction with which India has a favorable tax treaty? If my I-485 is pending but I am not working in the US, I do not need to pay taxes for the income earned abroad if I do not meet the "substantial prsence test" (183 days)?
Any thoughts will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
