Wow .. I did not know that this was a grey area :)
Amazing .. no one doing this?
I have a friend who does this, but he hasn't consulted a lawyer :).
Anyone who has spoken to a lawyer?

IV Core Team - You have done a great job... No doubt about it.. I already said my sincere thanks to you guys in earlier post and would say it again - Thank You !!!!
BUT GUYS, dont you think we should thank USCIS Director Emilio Gonzalez as well for honoring original July visa bulletin?
His comments from the bulletin sounds so honest
�The public reaction to the July 2 announcement made it clear that the federal government�s management of this process needs further review,� said Emilio Gonzalez, USCIS Director. �I am committed to working with Congress and the State Department to implement a more efficient system in line with public expectations.�
Everone is busy to appreciate work done by IV Core team, Zoe Lofgren, media and all IV team members.. But we are forgetting the man who signed off on the visa bulletin... without it, we wouldn't be celebrating...
Whatever happened on 07/02, it happened. I dont want to get into details of "why" the flipflop happened... But I sincerely thank Emilio Gonzalez for giving us the opportunity to file for I-485 with the old fee structure. Thank you, Sir.

Thats a little strange, as employers now a days are suggesting to use EAD instead
of H1's as the extentions itself has problems. And based on what i know its
ok to be on EAD instead of h1. Either way there is not much difference.
It is not strange from employer perspective. That way they will not be subjected to auditing from DOL. And they can show less number of H1B employees. Some people also gets advantages of non- H1B dependent employer.

I highly appreciate your advice. It sads that you had to go throught GC process so many times. In fact this is my third I-140 too. The first two never got approved due to silly administartive errors on employers part ( old check and job notice at wrong site) and I had to abandon them.
One of the other fix I have is : if I should leave my present job or not , as my fear of loosing job might just be in mind. I am wondering, if worse comes to worse and if I loose job with an approved I-140, will I be able to secure job with another employer and use this I-140 to get an extension. I am a Physical Therapist and EB-2 positions are hard to come by in the state I am in. I want to take the risk to stay with this employer and take my chances. But I also want to have a back plan ( premium processing I-140).I dont know if it can work. Please share your thoughts.

Hello all,
I am in a similar situation. H1 expiring soon and still don't have an approved LCA (LCA got rejected due to FEIN error and it has been re-applied again but the attorney did not send in any additional documentation to DOL to prove that FEIN is in fact genuine).
LC and I140 have been approved...so wanted to apply for a 3 yr extension.
My Attorney is now suggesting 2 options in case we do not receive the LCA approval before the expiration of the my current H1
Option 1: To go ahead and apply for H1 extension and submit all the documentation regarding the LCA application, the reason for denial and sending in evidence for the FEIN.
As per him, USCIS should accept and approve the H1 extension. Personally I have my doubts that this will work. Attorney says that this what other attorney's are all doing. Are they really? Does any body know if the H1 was approved??
Option 2: Use a previously used LCA (one that has been used earlier this year to obtain a H1 B for Employee XYZ who holds the same position as I do AND is valid until June 2011) and apply for my H1 extension.
Can a LCA be reused? Is it a valid/legal thing to do?
Any and all help in obtaining an answer for the above questions is really appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello Friends,
Could somebody pls. help and respond to this query.
In case of approved Change of Status from H4-H1B , when can the H1B holder apply for a SSN. Do we need to wait till Oct. 1 to apply for the SSN or can we apply earlier.
I heard that it can take anytime between 2-8 weeks and the H1B holder is not supposed to start working till they receive the SSN.
Thanks a lot for your help, its greatly appreciated.

Thanks for bringing his true nature in to limelight and americans will realize from this. This hypocrite always boasts himself as monk and tries to fool American people with covering his inner character.
This stinky ba%^#@rd speaks loud and confuses American people a lot with out giving the clear picture of broken legal immigration and with out mentioning the pain of long waiting legal immigrants. He always mixes legal with illegals and confuses all with his border protection preachings and with out respecting business immigration.

Thanks, this is very informative!
In any case, as per Shusterman.com, this bill will be tabled to the Judiciary committee on March 2nd. Today is Feb 24th. That leaves us only THREE working days to pass on this information to the committee members. We need to do something drastic to make our point.
All the members of IV, wake up! This is the time to fight. The anti-immigrant lobby will be getting very active in the next few days. We need to do the same

If retrogression continues Im seriously thinking about retuirning to India in a few yrs once I meet my savings goals. However I have some questions of parents of kids who have been in India/US schooling system.
1) After what grade/standard do you feel that a child born and raised in USA cant integrate into Indian education system. (I was thinking 1st standard).
2) What things can we do at home to prepare child for entry into Indian school system from here. Is Montesorri education most comparable to India Nursery/KG ?
3) Any issues with US born citizen getting admitted to Indian schools (Convent schools - government aided or private). Will it be a competitive disadvantage for US citizens, do they have to pay more fees that Indian nationals ?
Thanks

Almost always, AC21 can trigger an RFE or interview. There's always a risk in filing AC21. First, your new employment may not match your LC therefore your GC will be denied. Second, the new employer is banned by USCIS and that is not in your knowledge. Lastly, AC21 rule may change anytime because the standing rule is just a memo from previous USCIS chief. If that changes and you're in the middle of it, you might find yourself ineligible.
If I were you, I will not change employment. If that is not an option and you have to for some reasons, file AC21 and make sure that your next employer is not banned by USCIS, willing to go through AC21, meaning provide you with documents, and be ready to receive an RFE or request for interview.

Add you wife , 2 weeks before she comes, IE if she is coming on 16th may add her on 1st may.
pay some extra premium.
wouldn't that be common sense....
You cannot add before she comes here. She can bring some insurence from country of origin.

Well its just wasting GC numbers as this person is leaving US anyways, why GC???
I have seen many people leave US after once they get their GC, how stupid is that?
i have not come across any success stories of USCIS to CP move.
Also, i am not sure if the company must keep an empty chair for you..till you complete the CP process.
I was told that as long as the firm can give a letter stating that the job will be offered once you get ur GC..that should be good enough.
you are venturing into the unknown jungles....;-) ..best of luck

Friends,
In your opinion, if we were to choose among the many amendments people are proposing to improve the pending immigration billsm what will you choose?
My choice is
1. Either remove country quota
or
2. Re-instate soft quota.
Other choices could include
1. Filing of 485 with pri dates
2. H1b extension by 3 yrs with pending labor
3. Including MBA under stem
One request - please think of the broader implications of your choice and not your case. E.g, my wife has 140 pending approval and 485 will help me immensely but I would rather have the GC than EAD, so that is why I chose country quota removal. It unfairly victimizes an individual for his/he country of birth.
