Gurus,
Here is my situation:
I-140 approved - PD: May '06
I-485 filed - July 30 '07 (India)
EAD cards - Received
APs - Received
Due to a slowdown in their business, my employer is laying me off in Dec '07. I'm still short of 1 month to complete my 180 days of I-485 filling. However, they said they will not withdraw my I-140 and, to help me, will in fact keep me on their payroll until Jan '08, with my Jan '08 salary as my severance and my official status as on "paid leave". So far, so good.
I also have a job offer, and my new employer wants me to join them in Dec '07, on EAD. My question is: Can I be officially on the payroll of two companies simultaneously on H-1B and/or EAD? If yes, do I need to inform the USCIS of my status (new employer; AC21)? My other option is to say No to the new (attractive) job offer (or to try to convince them to wait until Feb '08, which they'll likely not agree to), and and take up another job in Feb '08, on EAD / H-1B transfer, using AC21. Please advise whether I'm fine with using the first option!!
Exultant, be a little careful with what you are doing here, since the basis for the 485 relies on the fact that there is INTENT on both sides (employee and employer) to take the job available at the time of filing. A company expresses this intent by keeping the I-140 active and not withdrawing, but there could be a question as to your intent with what you are stating to do.
I know you can counter argue this by saying that you are still on the original company's payroll in Jan 08, but when you file for AC21 in Feb 08 and show you new employer as the one in December, there is a question of intent.
I am not trying to scare you or sway your decision, all I am saying is there COULD be a question on your petition in which case be ready with the facts incase there is an interview.

If the recession does hit,
will the visa bulletin of every month jump faster?
or will it slow down?
does anyone know?

Is the AP document mailed to the attorney or to the applicant?
AP Docs are mailed to your attorney while EAD, I-485 cards are send to you .

Need to travel via British airways. H1b visa is expired and need to get UK transit visa.
Any experiences on the quickest way to get this?
thx
Please don't travel thru countries that impose this ridiculous transit Visa requirement on individuals, especially from India. Ask them to justify the charges, and you would get no response from them.
So, even if takes to spend $200 - 300 more, AVOID these crook countries that charge Transit Visa. People we must send the message across. In this century, I think its Indians that are traveling the most on these trans-atlantic-asia route, and collectively avoiding these 'snob' countries would send a very good signal.
If you are buying the transit visa, your dignity is at stake. Its like saying buying insurance for a person who is poor. They dont charge for countries that are more developed. so, AVOID AVOID these countries.
I am traveling to India soon, and I am going thru Brussels not because I got a cheap ticket, but because there is no transit visa required there.

Cases Affected by Limits on Annual Immigration such as Retrogression: 793,722
Family Based Cases: 682,936
Employment-based or Other: 110,786
this is what i dont understand. they say a visa number is deducted only when they can actually start working on the 485 (i.e when the priority date is current) so would it mean that there are still thousands of applications coming in every month for eb2 with priority dates prior to june 2002 that is causing this retrogression?

Knock yourself out... After all happiness is not the only thing in life and what beats the double whammy of getting married and getting back on H1
God bless you my friend...
So I am in some real mess ....
I married to a gal in 2007 during my visit to my home country but it did not work out b/w her and me due to some family reasons. (Not divorced just separated)
I came back to US in 2008 and applied for 485. My green card got approved and now my wife is in my home country and I am in US.
Now my wife and I have reconciled and I want to bring her to US.
Can I apply for her Green card and bring back to US ASAP w/o waiting for 5 years as I married before approval of my GC. I can get papers from my home country showing that I got married way before my GC approval.
I did not show at any stage in GC application that I was ever married. I thought the marriage is gone so why show it and now it could hurt me. I even dont remember if there was any question regarding marital status on 485 application.
Please help me other wise I would just have to cancel my GC and go back to H1 to bring my wife here. I cant leave her any more with our stupid relatives who might again break our marriage.
Please help , I am very desperate.

Mine was paper file...

I am confused because I read that you have to declare any foreign accounts held.
This applies to US Citizens ...it may apply to you if you already have your green card...but i am not fully sure about this....and i am quite sure it does not apply if you are on a work visa

Fox news and CNN are right wing media organisations who exagerate and create fear among decent American citizens. I for sure will do all my best from now on to expose this vicious campaign and even complain to organisations in the US about Lou Dobbs/Tom and their hate propaganda. CNN (Ted Turner) and Fox (Rupert Murdoch) also operate in other nations like India and we must let the Indian government (revoke their licences) and media organisations know about this.

I know of a colleague who lost her father but could not go to perform the last rites because she did not have the H1 stamped and the earliest appointment that any consulate in India was giving her was 4 months away.
She should have tried through the emergency quota/appoinment to get her stamping.. Death in immediate family is a accepted for this and I know a colleague you had to go for India for the very same reason, death in the family and returned back after getting his stamping. Got his appointment through EQ.
The article posted is touching, but out lives are not that bad .. We are far more better and we do have a good life.

Okay I liked code, contagious, and serif. Serif has my favorite palette of colors. Love the detail in the contagious one. Background is a little bland though. I voted for code though. Has the same colors I like.
All I got to say is Timmy Tots would have won. I can picture it now. Pixel font in the middle of a canvas. Can't compete with that. Maybe even a neon font on a black background. I should have competed in this.

Hi,
I have the same problem in Rutgers, New Jersey. I spoke to someone at the governor's office. Apparently, this residency definition is a federal law. States like CA had to pass legislation in the state to override the federal law. So if one want this to change, then there is to be an amendment. The schools are following the law.
Thanks

Thanks anyway for your reply.

If one gets a US Masters, the 3 year undergrad is not a problem if you go for EB2 based on Masters.
You cannot get a masters from a good universitiy based on 3 year undergrad from India. However, there are many shady universities in the US that will give away masters degree for some money. Most of the people in IT use these routes and the USCIS is coming hard on them. univ of Pheonix, even though an accredited univ, is an invitiation for greencard audit. You can try your luck. Chances are slim. Make sure you don't screw up your eb3 application.

My wife will be on H1(currently on H4) october onwards...we received our EAD's yesterday. Can I still go and apply for SSN? I mean will that mean she is on EAD and H1 no longer valid?
In my case my wife was on H4. She had to activate EAD to begin working. For that reason she applied for a new SSN.
Based on my limited knowledge, if anybody activate's EAD and begins working on that EAD, they'll lose their H status. Experts need to confirm this.
This is based on my limited knowledge. For expert advice, always consult a qualified attorney

Many asked you about H1B employees...but I have a different question for you...
Do you place consultants (and they are not your employees) thru vendor to the client place ? Like just forwarding resume to vendor (not to client) and charge every hour say 5-20$ per hour as long as the consultant is on the project for just forwarding the resume ? I know many desi employers do so I wanted to ask you.

The name check takes 2 years anyway, making a mockery of fast processing times. Even VSC, which is the slowest, takes less than 2 yrs for 485.
Wait a minute; I thought the name check is part of the I485 approval (and for those who file I-140 and I-485 concurrently, part of the I-140 approval). It wouldn't make any sense if the I-485 is approved and they are still checking the identity.
Also, the thread has been quiet due to lack of hope regarding the speed of processing centers (Wata, I am with you on the Nebraska one) and the unreliability of promises for improvements.
