I485 along with EAD and AP applications filed during July 02 for me and my family. Got EAD and AP. Used Company�s attorney to file my applications. I live in Michigan and all documents send to TSC. My I-485 is pending with TSC.
Renewed EAD and AP last year, again used the same attorney. That time they filed EAD and AP applications at NSC as per http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765instr.pdf page 11
I am still on H1B and never used EAD and AP.
I am planning to file EAD and AP renewal now (paper filing), but this time on my own. My questions are:
How can I ensure that all communications from USCIS will be sent to me and not to the attorney? How the earlier G-28 forms we submitted will cease?
Do I need to submit my EAD and AP renewal applications to NSC? In other forums somebody suggested that it need to be filed at the service center where my I485 is pending.
Recently I had been to SSN office to get SSN# for my son (8 years). They refused to give SSN and asked me to get EAD for my son. When I questioned how EAD can be applied for a minor, they responded saying that I can apply EAD for minor and based on that EAD, SSN (not permitted to work) will be given to my son. Anybody got EAD for minors?
Thanks in advance for your help.

One of my cousin works in oracle and he has mentioned to me that oracle is not filing in EB2 category (they used to file before), not sure is it for every one or depends on team to team or person to person.
I would advice you better check in advance as soon as you have job confirmation
Thanks letstalklc, can you please confirm from your cousin if it is a blanket policy ? i.e. they will not file in eb2 at all ?

sure, pls verify with lawyer to be safe
common consensus seems to be -->
if u have a valid/unexpired h1 petition, then even after using AP, u can continue to use the H1 for 'work authorization' ( u dont need to use EAD at the same employer).
But after using AP, officially ur status is 'parolee' and not H1-B. (official status of entry as put on i94 doc)
After using AP, u can further extend ur H1 if u want to -> in this case your status officially changes to H1b from parolee.
After using AP, if u desperately need to get back on H1 (for whatever reason) -> u can either extend ur H1 or amend ur H1, both these will put u back on H1.
Some people also say if u have used AP , but still have a valid h1 petition and desperately want to get back to H1, then u cud go to a consulate abroad, get ur h1 visa stamped and reenter and once again ur officially back on H1 ( seems valid, but i dont know anyone who tried this)
hope this helps...
I agree with bekugc. I had a consultation with my attorney few days ago and he told me essentially the same thing.

Can you do that even if the earlier I-140 is from another employer?
I think the answer is Yes.
You may be able to do this by replacing the underlying 140 of your 485 application with the older one. It should be possible. Talk to a lawyer.

This employer already hurt you by revoking your 140 and seems like you are not a big fan of his. Why don't you file a WH4 form with DOL for Feb'08 to Apr'08 salary. That way it becomes your ex-employer problem and you can explain your status all the way from Jan'08 to Apr'08.
I was working with a company until November 2007. I went to India in Dec and came back in Feb and was out of project until April 2008. During this time my relation with my employer gone bad and he threatened to cancel my H1. I transferred my H1 to the new company and is on project and is working with them from May 2008 till now. For the 8 months I worked in 2008 I got a total salary of 50,000 based on annual salary of $75K. This is less than the prevailing wages. Since my W2 is only $50,000 I'm worried about my immigration prospects. My previous employer withdrew my I140 application. I�m in my 6th year and just started my Labor process with the new company.
My current company is ready to help me, but they cannot run any payroll for last year, but can provide bonus for last year to make the total of last year up to $60k. They are a small co. and have never done this before.
How can we include this bonus in my W2 (I haven't filed my taxes so far, the company also hasn't filed their 2008 taxes)

One more thing about stamping in Canada and Mexico.
The chances of getting a new H1 stamp, even if you have another H1 stamp that's expired, are very low if you have no college Education from USA.
So if you have your college degrees from outside USA, its best to go to home country for stamping. The reason is that the consulate would simply pass the buck and say "Go to your home country for stamping as we do not have qualified people to evaluate your education from India/China/whatever".
On the other hand, if you have MS, or BS from USA, then visa stamping should be a fairly easy process, unless there are other complications in your case.
Then you would have to fly directly from Canada to your home-country for stamping.

Hi,
Currently i am working for a for-profit company on F1-OPT until April-07 (when my OPT expires)
This company will file H1B for me on April 1st for start date of Oct 1st and consequently, i will be out of job for 5 months (May-Sept).
Previously the company said that they will put be on Leave of Absense (LOA) for this 5 month gap until my H1b start-date kicks off on Oct 1st but now,
they are telling me that i will be terminated at April but will be hired again on Oct 1st and they will not put me on LOA.
1. Is there any way i can protect my job as they are terminating me now and then promising me to re-hire again on Oct 1st?
2. Should i ask for a job offer later stating a new hire date of Oct 1st?
3. Anything i am missing here? -- concerned that they first told me i will be on LOA but now telling me i will be terminated and again re-hired.
Note: The company is paying for both atorney and H1b fees and for this 5 month gap, i will be on H4, so no need to leave US.
Will appreciate any feedback on my 3 questions/concerns above - than ks.
I was in a similar position a few years ago. I had to be at home for 1 month.
From that experience I know that your company is approaching the situation in the correct/legal fashion. It is illegal for the company to employ you (even on LOA without pay or benefits) once your OPT expires.
1] Most jobs are at-will meaning there is no real way to "protect your job".
2] If they are filing for your H1 then the company will be submitting a letter to the government saying that they intend to employ you starting October 1, you can ask for a copy of the letter.
3] They must have talked to their immigration attorney who set them straight about LOA etc.
As others mentioned, if the company is willing to spend 5k to get you a H1, they intend to employ you after October 1.
As for "back-up H1", you can definitely look for a job and get a H1 from a different company also but on October 1st you will have to choose where you want to work. Remember if you choose to get "back-up H1s", you are essentially screwing one company and also wasting one valuable H1 visa. You are being un-necessarily cautious if not downright paranoid. However, if you are person who believes in "back-up tickets", "back-up house" in case "back-up car" etc. then go ahead, look for "back-up H1s".
Good luck.

3) As I applied green card based on my Indian passport, when my passport is under inpounded status , does USCIS consider my passport status to issue gC?.
Kindly advise me.
Thanks in advance.

We see lots of anger and frustration in this GC journey specially when a VB comes out.
lets me ask myself and all of you these questions.
1) Is USCIS or DOS accountable for anything? if they do anything wrong can we do anything?
2) If USCIS post incorrect and bogus numbers of demand do we have a right or anything to challenge them?
3) If USCIS says that they are doing quarterly spillover and don't do that can we do anything legally?
Last year there was a short lived thread on IV talking about Sueing USCIS/DOS for there misdeeds but it died as people pointed out that we cant sue USCIS/DOS.
If the answer to all the above questions are No and we cant even bring USCIS/DOS in the court then we should keep our mouth shut and let it happen whatever is happening?
Thanks,
Sueing is a tough road.
Here is the tricky part. For example, we all feel the spillover is not happening quarterly. But USCIS/DOS will only give us partial info. They will not tell us how many visas were issued monthly to which category. So we cannot do our calculation to say Quarterly spillover is not happening. Without proof we cannot go to court.
The progress we have seen so far is that DOS is issuing the demand info on a monthly basis. Now we need to persuade them to release the number of visas issued monthy (by category). When we have both these data, we can do our calculations and prove that they are not following the law. Then we can worry about going to senators, congressman, or court.

You are not the only one to get that message. Info pass appointments are tough to get now. Check during odd hours. I finally found one after hours. ASC's are NOT the same as Field offices. Also Some Field offices require you to show the corresponding state drivers license.

What do you mean by 4 part payments?
Here is the scenario
Lets say I have Rs 100,000 principal loan and I can make 4 payments of Rs 22,000 (4X22,000= 88,000) and tells ICICI bank to span rest of Rs. 12,000 (100,000-88,000=12000) in 13 EMI.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Also note - you are allowed only 4 part payments in a year. Especially with ICICI bank. So plan carefully. That way you are left with only 13 EMI's with a smaller amount.

Whether you have used EAD or not is not an issues. You can file renewal anytime. Just send the current copy of your H1 while renewing. Also you don't need to go through lawyer to file EAD or renewal of EAD. I e-filed EAD for myself and my wife on my own the first time. I also filed renewals and got them in about 2 months time.
Let me know if you need any information on renewal process.
About AP: Since you have used AP, there is no expiration of I-94. Even when your AP expires, Ur I-94 is valid till you do not get a decision on your PR application.
Cheers
