Yes, you can file for multiple visa simultaneously. Your I-9 may determine where you landed at last.
People have no jobs and you are talking about several offers;)
Thanks. I know H1B visa can be applied through multiple employers at the same time ... what I was wondering that can it be applied by the second employer after the expiry of my I-94 ?? Because I have heard that one of the criteria for filing for extension is that it must be filed b4 the expiry of I-94, and that concerns me...
and, no, buddy, i don't have multiple job offers, the 1st company is simply a staffing company with which I would be filing just so that i don't go 'out of status' b4 i get the job with the 2nd company ... i'll be paying the fees from my pocket... I have good chances that i will get that job but not certain... i wish i had several offers... i am just trying to figure out what my options are here...

All Guru's
My situation is little different,
I filed my GC from comapany A (with approved I140 ...so far i received all receipts+ EAD+AP), I am working for Company B as a consultant. Now the company B is willing to give me an offer, Since they know my situation they are agreed upon waiting till 180 days. But they are planning giving me offer 181 day. They cant wait longer than that.
But my fear is I don't have copy of my approved I140 with me. I heard from my collegue who works for my Company (A) provides a I140 copy only if they terminate me from the employment (like after certain period on bench - 15days). This is where I am getting nervous. I want to take the employment with Company B using EAD. But I have to be on Bench with company A (H1B) inorder to get my copy of I140.
I have only 2 options:
1) Take the Company B offer and Remain on the Bench for Company A at the same time for certain period to get the I140 copy. - Can I do this because I will be getting pay from New Employer (EAD) and old Employer (H1B) - Does this trigger any issue in future - Is this over lap (15 days) is OK
2) Do not take the Company B offer (but this is very good offer)
Please Guru's if any body gone through this situation please share your thoughts OR Any body please advice. Thanks in Advance
Dont require copy of 140 to invoke AC21 only proof of AOS is required i.e 485 Recipt Notice (even a copy would do).
Copy of 140 is required incase of date porting i.e joined a new employer who is willing to sponsor GC and you would like to keep you PD from a previous application.
Hope this clarifies !!!

Hello Sir,
I'm in H1B visa, so also my husband.
In this time of recession, i fear if I'm laid off, wanted to seek your valuable guiance on the following:
- transfer my status from H1 to H4? have all pay stubs in tact.
- return back to H1 B status once I find an opening with new company? All I will need to do is transfer my H4 status back to my same H1B visa?
- visa in passport is originally stamped for Oct 2009 when I came from India, and I have my new I797 with validity date as Apr 2011. Do I still have I797 as valid even if I'm laid off?
Please let me have your views on this. Highly appreciate a speedy response.
Thank you in advance,
Shivani:confused:

could you be more specific..
If the Labor mentioned as a job location in NY...after we get the EAD..we cant move to Florida and work there..?
You are ok, if are on EAD and in AOS pending status.
I was referring to current job location BEFORE filing for I-485 application. A person can be out of H1 status if he/she is working on a location that is different from mentioned in the H1 LCA. This is something not many people are aware of.

upto 6 months. they send out a letter as soon as you apply stating they have recvd yur app and working on it. I had applied for a Name correction. They refused after a couple of weeks itself and asked me to get it corrected in the visa consulate of the home country. When I went for stamping in chennai I pointed out error and the new stamp had the right name. Consult your attorney.

My Sincere Thanks to Mr. Ari for responding to my post.
Here Iam posting additional details about my case:
Company A: Labor approved in Dec 2006. Applied I-140 in June 2007 and got RFE regarding my Educational Transcripts Which was responded in time and USCIS received on Dec 5, 2007. Then Got EAD and AP approved. On Apr3 2008 I-140 Denied (I-140 was denied - due to 3yr degree) then I-485 denied on June 26th 2008. So, First applied MTR for I-140 which was denied on Feb, 2009. Then applied one more MTR (Appeal) for I-140 on March 13th, 2009 (check cashed by USCIS... receipt copy not yet received).
Suddenly in the recent past month I see that, My I-485 status updated saying -Transferred and now pending @ Texas service center (got a notice) and now today I saw above mentioned status.
But "When I was on my 7th year of H-1B (valid upto Apr 2009)" jumped (Transferred my H1B) to Company B. And now Iam with Company B.
Thanks a lot in Advance.

If you have an approved I-140, you can port the PD as long as your original sponsor does not withdraw his petition. Since your company is being acquired (as opposed to you quitting on your own) it is highly unlikely that your petition will be withdrawn. So as long as you continue doing a similar job as the one for which the LC position was advertised you should be fine.
Hi All
Thanks for a great forum. I am EB3 India (PD Dec 02) with 140 approved June this year. Rumor has it that the small firm I work for, is going to be acquired by a much larger firm with thousands of employees globally. I am concerned about my ongoing GC process. First question
Q1. What happens to my GC process?
Considering the behemoth like size of the company that is going to acquire us I am quite sure that the GC process of the few employees from my present employer will take a back seat.
Q2. What are the things I can do proactively.
I have read on various threads that it is possible to join other employers and port the PD to them. But considering the fact that company that started the GC process is no longer there, how would this porting of PD with new labor, 140 etc would occur...
I would appreciate if someone can provide answers to my questions. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Its pleasant to hear that USCIS will forward the flowers sent by IV members to Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and Bethesda Naval Hospital. This is an excellent idea. However the people who fought for freedom, and are recovering at these hospitals should know: what these flowers are all about and who is sending them.
We should write emails to these hospitals to educate them about this flower campaign and urge them to accept the flowers and support our just cause. Please suggest a good template for the email, supporting our troops and asking them to support us. IV core should help with this and co-ordinate this event. This can become a next step in our peaceful protest against USCIS. If we can gather the support fom these hospitals that would be a major success. After this email campaign, hospitals may accept or reject the flowers forwarded by USCIS, but we will score a major win in either case. This will become our second round of publicity in media for our flower campaign. Please comment on this idea.
Please find the web site and contact emails for both the hospitals:
1. Walter Reed Army Medical Center

On the botton right corner, there is a link: Email the Hospital
2. Bethesda Naval Hospital.

How about pledging anywhere between 1 to 5 % of our tax returns? If enough people do it, that should do the trick.. But we need to widen the base, I think.. I don't think the problem is of people not contributing enough, the real problem is that we do not have enough people contributing.
But an interesting idea nevertheless.. though 2K is beyond my means at the moment. :o

depends on how you filed it, if its premium processing, you get a decision in 4 to 6 days.. amazing what an extra 1000 dollars can do. I waited 4 years to get my labor approved and I-140 in 14 days with premium processing.

You can apply for an EAD with a pending 485. However, I would be conservative in saying that you are really eligible for this only if you can avail of 485 portability. If the I-140 has been approved and the 485 has been pending for 180 days, then you are portable. If the I-140 has not been approved, the employer could revoke the I-140 and cause the 485 to be denied. This would cause an immediate end to your work authorization and Advance Parole also.
In your situation, I would probably apply for the EAD but ask a new employer to also file for H-1B status for you (assuming you have H-1B time left). This way you could get a H-1B visa at a consulate and return in that status if necessary.

If I am not wrong.....I had checked on the EB5 retrogression some time back..
Which EB5 are you checking?
EB5 is always current. Last year they only issued 346 visas to this category.
It takes at least 500.000$ :cool: to get one.

Your H1B extension has no value till 09/24/10 when it becomes active.
You can probably go to India to get H1B stamped on July but you have to present your current H1B approval as the petition required and ( check with your office lawyer on this ) you are most likely going to get H1B visa valid till 09/23/10 ( based on your current petition ) . I don't know what your POE in US is , but I've heard/read anecdotes where the CBP officer at POE plays 'too much on top of his things' and tells people that their entry date is very close to their visa expiration date , that's when you bring out your extension approval. Once again , please check with your lawyer on possible issues to look out for, but this can be done.
You can work legally in US with an expired visa and a legitimate H1B extension approval notice.
Good luck.

Here's how I see it.
If you are employed by a US company and are on the US payroll of that company, and they are paying your salary into your US bank account, then I would say, that even though you may be working remotely in an Indian office of that US company - then yes, you need the EAD.
Why - you might ask. Very simply, if you are on the US payroll you need to have an I-9 on file with the company. You can only file an I-9 if you have the legal right to work in the US for that company (EAD / GC / Citizen / H1B etc).
so what it all boils down to is, no matter where you are working in the world for the company, if you are on the US payroll, you need an I-9, to file the I-9 you need a legal right to work, and that for you means the EAD.
one other thing. I believe that you also need to be in the US to file for and receive the AP & EAD.
Hope that helps
