I actually went over something similar with my lawyer. I'm currently on H4 and just yesterday received my EAD valid for 2 years. My husband is renewing his H1 next month. And initially I was hoping I wouldn't have to renew my H4 again and save the $$. But my lawyer says I should renew my H4 so that incase something goes wrong with my I-485 I won't go out of status as I have the H4 eventhough I'll be working on EAD. And he said if I travel I should not use the AP to re-enter. So it means my H4 will not get canceled even if I work on EAD.

Hi All,
Could any please provide some insight about the companies "Unemployment Wage report" for the state of California?
This is the only query as stated in the 221(g) form got from Chennai embassy for your reference.
"State Unemployment Wage Reports, showing all wages paid to each employee in the state, for the past two quarters as filed to State of California (This should not be payroll reports, but the actual forms filed to the State authorities listing each employee and wages paid during the quarter.)"
Could you please provide me the exact form name and number to submit through the dropbox. Also some explanation if possible on how the form will look like in order to track it down?
Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.
Happy Holidays!
All the very best to all of you.
Thanks & Regards,
ChakYour company has to send you the documents.Ask your company.They know what those documents are.
Good Luck !!!

Many qualified for EB1 need not necessarily be already in EB1.
Possible reasons are:
1. Unawareness at the time of filing (just followed what attorney said).
2. Was not in a hurry for GC, so just followed attorney.
3. Thought that EB1 might be a complicated case (even though genuinely eligible), and just filed EB2, never thought it will retrogress that bad.
4. The job requirement at that time didn't need an EB1-qualification.
You will be surprised to see how many PhD and MS candidates and researchers are in EB3.
just wondering
How gaining so much experience or education is possible in such a short amount of time?
No , I'm not jelous or anything. Please don't misunderstand.
EB1 requires very high education. Right?
just wondering. I 'm ready to work hard. Just need direction?
How people do it. Do they take a MBA/PHD?
Thanks

Given how soon (after the layoff) the soft LUDs appeared, it is highly unlikely that they had anything to do with the layoff, unless your employer revoked the 140 a few days/weeks in advance given the impending layoff.
I haven't heard of companies doing that but you never know.
Like someone else suggested, getting a new attorney to submit G-28N is probably a good idea.
If I were you, I would do the following.
1. Call the old employer's attorney and check if the 140 was revoked, or if it is going to be revoked.
2. If the answer to the above is no, check with the attorney if they are willing to forward any future USCIS correspondence to you.
3. If the answer to #2 is 'No', get a new attorney to do a G-28N as soon as possible, and then look for a new job that qualifies for AC-21 benefits.
4. If the answer to #2 is 'Yes', then you don't need to do a G-28N right away, and could do it after you start the new job. This is just in case if the new company's attorneys require you to do a G-28N through them.
Good luck. Keep us posted.

USCIS is sick of active IVian and they want them to suffer. These active IVian have PD earlier than 2006. I am one of them.
How come most of the 2006 PD holders getting approved? I do not have any grudge against who have 2006 PD and got their AOS approved. I am just wondering as to what is making USCIS to choose only 2006 PD ? Definitely, the low hanging fruits theory does not seem to be working here. Anybody has any idea about that ? I am just frustrated.

A friend of mine who has a bachelor's degree from India applied for her labor through PERM under EB2 category, which was approved. This was done based on the attorney's advice. Later, when the I-140 was to be submitted, the attorney advised that they should file I-140 under EB3 as the employee just had a bachelor's degree and he thought that they would get an RFE or will not probably be able to justify her qualifications for an EB2 category. At that time he also mentioned that, once the I-140 was approved, they could go ahead and submit I-485 application as though it was an EB2 case based on the approved labor. Now that I-140 is approved under EB3 category, he is going back on his words and telling that since I-140 was approved under EB3 category, they should file I-485 as though it is an EB3 application. There is a vast difference in priority dates between EB2 & EB3 categories and this is not helping the problem. Would it be okay to apply I-485 under EB2 category based on the approved labor (EB2) or should one apply I-485 under EB3 based on the approved I-140 (EB3)? Anyone who has had any experience or has any information in this regard, please advise. Or did the attorney mess up first time and he is finding an easy way to fix the problem by going the EB3 route? I sometimes wonder if these attornies really know what they are talking about or they just out there to make money at the expense of innocent people like us.

Dear Friends,
Please advise me for the following relating to my birth certificate that I have to use for Immigration purposes.
One or two alphabets of my name on birth certificate are different from my passport and secondary school. In addition, my family name is not included in the certificate. Rest of the information is all fine and matching with my passport and secondary school certificates( like DOB, Parents, Place etc)
I have some questions
1. Does the birth certificate issued by Indian consulate in foreign country is deemed acceptable?
2. Do I need to furnish any kind of affidavit along with original birth certificate, if yes, please share the format for those, who is writing these affidavit and any specific stamp paper/value etc?
3. Any guidelines in order to correct the information in my original certificate.
4. Any other vital information in this regard
Thanks you all.

I think it has to be either you or your lawyer. No third party should get any communication from USCIS. So I guess you'll get it - if at all they send it back.

I am in the same boat and need to get my address updated. So what I understand from above posts is that there is no need to do paper based AR11 and can just do it online for I-485, EAD as well as AP, right?? Once done, just keep printouts for records , thats it???
Can someone please confirm.
YOu can do everything online.

Was your wife successful in getting an H1B visa stamped in her passport? If yes, could you please share your experience for the visa stamping interview/documents, etc. Your post will be helpful for some who plan to return on H1B/H4 (including me).
Thanks.
My wife would be travelling to India soon and the question is whether to use AP or go for a H1 visa. She has been working on H1 (but no H1 visa yet) and also has a valid AP. The 485 is pending on my name.
In my understanding if she uses AP in the reentry, her status would change to AOS (Adj of Status) and can stay until the 485 is adjudicated. But if 485 is rejected she would be out of status immediately. We have been told (by my filing attorney) that if she gets a H1 visa this she wouldn't be out of status in case of 485 rejection - she can continue to stay & work on H1.
Is the above correct ? And if 485 gets rejected while on H1 would she be out of status immediately ?
- I heard that the 485 rejection mentions an 'order' to leave the country within x number of days - I was wondering what the implications are if she is on H1 status (having reentered on valid H1 visa earlier) - Does her status still hold good and continue stay and work on H1 ?
- Also at the time of applying for H1 visa what kind of information can be or cannot be shared at the Visa Interview ? just to make sure that the H1 visa doesn't get rejected due to her pending 485
Many Thanks !!!

Yep - got mine 2 months back. Docs to carry
- Original social security card.
- Original EAD card
- The first lady asked me to bring the employment letter. I did not have it with me, I went home to get it and got in another line, that dude did not even look at it.
- Passport and I-94 (They did not check this) I took it just in case
- Cash - 25$
You will get a 5 year license, but it will say that you are a temp visitor till your EAD expires. You will have to take your EAD in when the new EAD comes in.
Let me know if you need further details.

There is no harm in opening a service request (SR) but you have to wait 30 days for the next step after the SR i.e sending followup email directly to the service center if nothing happens to the SR. I opened SR on 9/1 and came to know that SR is still pending and not assigned to any officer. May be they are busy in approving cases so technically I have to wait till Sep 30 to send the followup email. Even if you send the followup email before that 30 days there is no use because you will get an email back to provide the SR number. Hope this helps.

My wife's EAD was also sent back even though we haven't moved. She got all her other receipts. I didn't have her name in the mail box. Wondering if it is the reason but again she got all her receipts, ad parole. We called USCIS they opened a Service Request. It will take a month minimum.

I have been given Form 221(g) after my interview and asked for some documents to be delivered. To my astonishment, my petitioner has denied to send me those documents as they say that they don't have those.
In this situation, is it possible for me to Transfer my case to another employer/petitioner ?
Please advise me urgently on this matter
:(
Is it new H1b or transfer?
Thanks
