First of all congratulations to all those who got their approval in the last couple months. Now comes the big dilemma for some of us. Did anyone tried to switch their jobs, or at least, ditch their current employer? Did anyone switched their employer immediately after the green card approval? I am sailing in this boat. I want to switch my employer ASAP, but is hesitating to do so... as you know there are some obvious reasons later. What are other problems that you think other than getting tons of questions during the citizenship? Appreciate your answers. ;)
Just my opinion. Stay with employer for 6 months - 1 year. Stay in the same profession for atleast 2 years ( i understood that way from Attorney Ron Gotcher )

Friends,
Our (Me / Spouse / Kid) I-485 is pending approval and our priority date is May 2007 EB2 India. I am planning to send my spouse and Kid to India for kid education. I do not want to cancel their I-485. They may stay in India till I get my GC :=) ( I dont know when)..
Initially I thought of bringing them to US every year to renew the AP. But It is expensive for me and I am thinking it is not a wise idea.
I am thinking of applying the Consular processing only to Spouse and Kid in India. They are dependants to me. I am the primary applicant. Is it possible/allowed to apply consular processing only for dependants and keep the Primary applicant in AOS
Thanks

L1s don't visit these sites because most them don't apply for green card. L1s are majorly used by big companies like TCS, Infosys, etc. Those big corporates won't apply for GC. Very rarely based on relationship and long service some apply for GC.
I see lots of L1 bashing. In reality L1s are pitier than H1s. L1 cannot transfer their visa and change job as H1s do. They have to wait till H1 quota to open up for changing jobs. They run in a rat race to keep their manager happy to get better rating in their appraisal.
PS: I am on H1 status.
6 to 1...... maybe L1 guys don't visit this forum since they already got thier GCs....:rolleyes:
H1 loosers still hanging here.....

I have filed for the position for "Progammer Analyst " in company A. I applied for I485 after I140 approval and it has been more than 180 days. I work for company B but in totally different position(unrelated to programmer analyst).
I just got a job of "Programmer cum Instructor" from company C who is transferring my H1. I do not know if I can invoke Ac21 or not. In case yes, then I think I will never have to join company A. Am I right ?

If you are on payroll, it means you are still employed by that company. Consider this as bench period. The company may not pay you the whole salary or part of it but you are still employed. This creates problem sometime. You should ask your employer to consider you as on unpaid leave or vacation. You dont have to leave the country. Few days are ok as long as you get a new job elsewhere and transfer your H1. I think 30 days is good. Your first and foremost goal is to get a job at any cost. That should happen before you are out of payroll of your current company. That means within 30 days.
Once you are out of 30 days and dont have a job, you are out of status. That means you are here illegally. Your counter starts. There is no guideline how long you can stay here like that but more than 180 days will definitely create problem for you in the long run.
Coming to H1 transfer, if you can transfer the job within 30 days, you are good. No harms done. Although sometime you get RFE to show the income for that period if W2 shows very low number. There should some sort of parity with LCA minimum wage in H1 with W2. But 30 days of non-payment should not be a big issue as long as you can prove you were employed at that time with your H1 petitioner.
If you are out of status, there is not much you can do about it except get a job soon enough. There are people who got H1 transfer without any issue. But there is a greater chance it might come up as RFE in H1 or later in GC.
If you are here more that 180 days, you are in serious trouble.
In any case, talk to a lawyer. People here in this forum are good for some basic general advice but a case like yours should be consulted with a professional.

Hi
Here is my situation:
Entered US with K1, received I-94 at the time of entry with Employment Authorized stamp, and the CBP officer told me I can work with the I-94 until my status changes to permanent resident.
BUT I-94 is valid only for 90 Days so my permission to work is not valid any longer (That is what the Employer says).
Filed I-485 to Chicago, IL, application was received on July 19/07.
Receipt Notice received August 27/07. Biometrics taken August 30/07, have an Interview on November 29/07.
I called USCIS, they told me I have to apply for an EAD.
Applied for EAD in August. Application was received on August 29/07, the Biometrics Notice Date is September 17/07.
Now I have an absolutely awesome job offer but I don't have a valid Employment Authorization document.
I called USCIS yesterday to ask if I can expedite the process for the EAD, they said go to local immigration office and ask them to see what options you have (she read some options, I didn't write any down because it was a long list).
I went to a local immigration office this morning, they said "We cannot do ANYTHING from our local office in regards to a EAD since September of last year!!!".
They also said to call USCIS and ask them to download the Biometrics from the I485 application to speed up the process.
I called USCIS this morning and they said they are UNABLE to download the Biometrics.
I asked them if there is a way to expedite the process for the EAD, they told me the same thing as yesterday: Go to local office!
Here I am, in this #$#%#^# loop, can't do anything about this and USCIS or the local immigration office does not give a damn about honest people who are trying to make a living and put some food on the table.
I don't know what else to do but if somebody has an idea please, please, please let me know.
By the way, the Immigration officer told me that the employer can hire me if they want, but it is up to the employer to decide!!! I just don't understand how somebody is supposed to hire me if I canno't show any documentation allowing me to work here.
I would also like to know how long it took for any of you who applied for the EAD??
Thank you!

I am in a worst scenario , just changed a job couple of months ago. I have labor and I-140 approved from Company A. I have even paid $6000 to company A to sponsor my GC and $5500 for a visa transfer. After joining company B i didn't start labor again. Begging Company A to give an employement letter , they have even cancelled my H1b visa so I can't join them back unless i pay H1b visa transfer fee and a pay-cut. Wondering if it is even worth it ?
Planning to inform this to DOL and USCIS , how employers can be sooo greedy

Compositionally, the picture feels slightly off balance to me, but I love what QJ did with the shadow detail and color in her first revision of your photo. There's certainly plenty of potential waiting to be brought out from within that image.

As far as I know, I think you need an approved I-140 before you can use AC21.

Asking for not revoking I140 would be helpful. Also make sure that you at least have copies of the I140 approval notice and I485 receipt notices.
Copies of your Perm labor certification would also be helpful as you may need to consult them for looking at the job responsibilities used for your original labor.

I would suggest you to switch to EAD. There is no reason for you stick to H1-B anymore.

...would you notice the editing if you didn't know about it?
It took me a while to even realise what you had done. There are three feathers that look alike on the lower neck, but I'd never known you did anything if you hadn't pointed it out.

I've taken a lot of bird pictures that have to be cropped even more than this. While I'm not happy with the detail it is still quite possible to see what bird it is :) and maybe the best I can do with my current lenses. Until I get a better opportunity and get closer to the bird I'll accept the picture, at least for my own archive. I think your frog picture is acceptable at that size, and could perhaps also be improved a bit more with some creative noise reduction and sharpening to give the impression of being a bit better than it is. I agree digital is amazing, there's indeed a lot of info that can be extracted from the megapixels.
