Hello,
I've been working on EAD for about 4 years now as priority dates are backed up a lot. My I-140 has been approved in 2007 and still waiting on I-485 to get approved. My current employer is not my original sponsor. I changed jobs after the "180 days post I-485 receipt" policy. Now, I'm interested to accept an offer (similar job) in another state. How will this affect my I-485 if I'm changing employers for the 3rd time and this time, at another state?
Thank you very much.
In EAD, there is no restriction on the number of times you can change the job and also in what state you are employed (could be different from the one your labor was filed), provided the new job is in same or similar category.
In your case (moving to a difrerent state), chance of getting RFE for EVL is high. So make sure that the new employer can provide a EVL stating that the new job is in the same or similar category as your old one (for which the labor got approved).
Other than that, you should be fine...
BTW, dont forget to file AR-11 within 10 days of your change of address.

Hi Folks:
Is there a time limit for one to travel on Advance Parole. I was told that if a person travels abroad and intends to enter using AP, the maximum time allowed is 6 weeks, is this true?
Thanks
My son "traveled" on AP for almost 6 months.

I was H1B, but used AP return to the U.S. the same company, but when I filed the new I-9 form after return, the company lawyer asked me to write EAD and EAD expiration date, so I guess I am AOS now? or not? I am not sure. My company will resume my H1B this month, but don't know when it will be completed.
Now I am going to e-file EAD renew.There are some questions in the form I-765 that I am not sure how to answer (The lawyer has completed his 140 and 485 document, so he doesn't want to answer now.):
1, Manner of Last Entry into the U.S.: Should I choose PAR (PAROLEE) or H1B (SPECIALITY OCCUPATION)?
2, Status: Should I choose PAR (PAROLEE) or H1B(SPECIALITY OCCUPATION)?
3, Please select your eligibility status : Should I choose (a) (4) PAROLEE or (c) (9) FILED I-485?
Thanks!

There are no guarantees when you are dealing with the USCIS. I was current in April 2005. Approval came in November 2007. Call the USCIS customer service and initiate service request.

i don't personally know any attorney nor do I have any experience. But I know that anyone (including Indians) will qualify and this is always current and no labor cert needed. You can go from 140 to 485 in a short period of time and then get a 2 yr conditional GC after which if u still maintian ur initial invest (500k or 1M depending on target area of investment) then u will get final GC.
You also need to create employment opportunities for at least 10 people in the permanent resident or US citizen categories during those 2 years. Not sure if I-140 is required.

Will Advance Parole be valid until she comes back? Technically you cannot take her Green card and give it to her outside US.

I have EAD through my wifes employment under Eb3 category with a PD 2005. we are expecting a baby in september, so
There is an option to avail a child care leave(4 years) and the employer will hold the job as this is official policy of the organization that belongs to a state government.Will there be a problem then being in AOS and not working and moreover recently received a RFE for EVL 2 weeks ago and we submitted it already?

reddy77,
Did you give mail forwarding instructions to USPS when you moved from your old address?
I had done this online and got my AP duly forwarded to my new address. This happened about a month back.

I am hoping someone can shed some light on this situation:
I filed 140 and 485 concurrently (July, 2007). Today I received an email update saying that a RFE has been sent about my 485 petition. There's a LUD update for my 485 but my 140 seems untouched. What kind of issues with the case would prompt an RFE for the 485 before the 140 is processed? Is this for a second set of fingerprints or could this be something more serious? Thanks in advance for your responses.

I am planning to get my H1 stamped during my next trip to India and have a couple of questions
1) Have anyone used Yourmaninindia or Sahara Care or any other service to deposit H1 forms at VFS Mumbai. For Mumbai consulate, the forms need to be submitted 3 days prior to Visa Interview and they do not accept courier :mad:
2) I recently found that if you have an appointment at one of the consulates in Mexico, you can Fax the 797 and get PMIS verified in advance.
Do we need to submit the entire H1 fee for appointment ? If there is a cheaper way, I am thinking of taking an appointment , get PMIS verified and cancel the appointment.
3) Any idea if they do a PMIS verification for H1 extensions (same company) as well ?

Mine is basically a hopeless case.
EB3 India with PD Feb 2007.
My EAD, AP and II140 are all approved because of the July Fiasco and its been more than 180 days since they all got approved.
I have my EAD and AP in hand, but I140 is with employer. I neither have a copy of it, nor the receipt number/tracking for it . All I know is that it is approved. My employer will not give it to me as it is not required by law. I am still working on H1 (haven't used EAD yet)
Recently the client I am working with asked if I would be interested in a full time with them and said I can use my EAD. Is it possible for me to take up this offer without having any details about my I140 except knowing that it is approved.?
PS: I trust my employer. If they said my I140 is approved, then it is.
Safest thing to do: get a copy of I 140 approval and also copy of labor certification from USCIS via Freedom of Information act request (FOIA).
This way, you case will be clean (you need to use AC 21 and new job needs to be same or similar to the one for which you have GC filed; this requires a good attorney's help along with job titile and job description in original labor).
Good Luck.

This is Indian Citizen marrying another Indian Citizen, Green card holder does not have a seperate citizenship! Srinivas having said that. Best way is get her an H1B visa. otherwise whe have to wait long years. but If you are a US citizen then things can change. You can get her in US in K Category Visa and file an I-130
But seek your attonrney's advise always.
Congrats to You and Would be!
May GOD Bless.

I'm sorry let me re-phrase:
Is there a RISK to file 2 separate petitions (H4 Extension and H1) in the same time frame?
If yes, what's the option?
Should I say to my employer or lawyer (Company 'A') to not to file H4 extension for my wife because of the overlap of time frames?

I dont think that the USCIS can staff all the Port of Entries with officers who are well versed in every single visa type.
It can hardly be expected that a typical POE officer is aware of all the requirements and intricasies of the H1B visa; LCA, prevaling wage, bench, client/employer, paystubs, client letter etc.
Nevertheless it is possible that there might be some POE officers placed at certain places (strategically ? ) in light of recent efforts to enforce H1B and DOL regulations more stringently; especially in light of the recent report highlighting the large amount of frauds and violations in the H1B program. In that case; one should still be fine if one has long term client project, all paystubs, tax returns etc.
Is there any way Immigration voice can find out if there has been a change of policy to enforce H1B regulations at the Port of Entry? (In addition to consular interviews and applying for the H1B itself)

If you are Canadian Citizen (by birth not naturalized) it should be pretty quick, maybe 6-18 months depending on FBI name check timing.
You should get your EAD 10-12 weeks.
I am not sure about one thing. As I know visitor visa doesn't have an immigrant intent, is that a negative or neutral in your instance.
As far as priority dates go Canada has always been current.
All the above I said is based on very little specific input about your case. Let some guru chime in who has been on this path already.
