if you have EAD and 140 is approved (And 180 passed since 485filed), then why are you worried about H1 status ?
am I missing something here ..I let my H1 expire and am using EAD now.
I had another question - if one has EAD and 140 is approved (and 180 days passed and a person does not hav H1) - then how long can that person stay unemployed ? please reply if you know ..Thanks !!
GC is fo future employment so technically you need to have an employment offer when your GC is ready for approval. You can be unemployed up to that date, there is no requirement for continuos employment.

You can do hero worship of your lawyer whoever it is. I will not.
Ask him/her if he will do advocacy effort for you or sue USCIS since all his clients are struggling in the long wait and spending a lot of money on immigration consultations, fees etc.
Ask him if he contribute to IV instead?
Ask him to give you priority instead of your employer who gives him business every year.
Ask him why AILA is not giving you regular updates through him. As clients of lawyers we should get regular updates and prompt responses. What are they doing about country caps removal, end of retrogression, recapture etc. I mean they are so powerful, so why can't they do it for us so that we no longer need lawyers and save a lot of money? Arn't we all spending thousands of $s on immigration attorneys ? and only few of us pay only $25 and many are free members and get such a good service from IV website. We all hate to pay a single dollar to IV and accuse IV core of asking contributions every time there is a drive but IV still helps us. They need to learn from us.
Why none of us has the courage to do it, but we have the courage to trash talk IV and blame its core for not working hard enough for our $25.
Whats your skillset, I can try to get you a project. No offense, but you do seem to have too much time to loose-comment on others and contribute nothing.

Hi,
My company is asking me to pay the extension fees for 3rd term with same company. I had approved 140. In USCIS receipt it says amount received: $320. Then why I am asked to pay $1820. Is the $1500 towards training is to be paid by employee or employer?
Most probably the 1500 is attorney fees.

Exactly.
Chances are Obama never even saw your letter, his office has an aide who has a saved format of this letter which is printed out with your name and adressed.
But keep writing and keep calling. They might listen.
Its called a form-letter.
The staff writes those.
They use the same letter and change the name and address of the constituent and copy-paste the generic position on immigration.
That is the reason you are seeing a letter that casts a wide net on immigration issues, like border security, illegals, etc. etc. The staff would send out the same letter to all constituents who are writing for or against immigration or any issue related to immigration.
All lawmakers have staff who repond to communication from constituents and 99% of the time, you get a form-letter response...the one-size-fits-all letter. The audacity of form-letters. ;)

You already applied with approved LCA. Any amendment to LCA AFTER the RFE may not be looked upon kindly.. check that with lawyer..
What he means to say is, if you are saying your next 3 yrs project is in CA, then your LCA work location should not be in NC.
If your LCA work location is in NC then they have asked for NC based contract.. I would provide that, and not one in CA. your case needs more detailed look before you dump everything in USCIS lap..
Just to keep your mind at ease.. know this..
Last jan one of my friends who runs his own firm , applied for 6 H1bs of these 5 got RFEs similar to these.. he replied to each one with 300+ page reply , they approved all within 4 days.. so it's impossible for anyone to read thro' they basically do it for 2 reasons..
1. Records collections.
2. Verify position is genuine, employer is sizable and beneficiary status is okay..
Other than that, smaller stuff .. don't sweat.. Just don't go making changes to LCA or anything like that in panic..

LoL. The response from the senator (actually from one of his assistants, for Obama did not even read your letter), may appall you thoroughly, but it was completely expected. We may think of our predicament apocalyptic, but from the point of view of a wannabe president, it is not even a problem which requires a careful and personal reading of a letter. With huge issues like Iraq war and 12 million foreigners living illegally in the country bearing down on him, who has time for a few thousand law abiding workers waiting patiently in line.
How disheartening it can be to realize that let alone helping solve your problem, this country has not even noticed our problem on its radar. Part of our problems is actually caused by illegal immigrants, and yet we are being confused as being one of them. The analogy may sound crude to many, but now I know how the Sikhs must have felt when they were the victims of hate crimes in the wake of 9-11.
Somewhere in these forums I read somebody�s suggestion to rename the organization to legal-immigrants-first, or a similar sounding name. It may sound wholly redundant exercise to many of us, who are living the retrogression problem everyday, but it will make real difference in achieving our goals. We must first clearly identify and register ourselves in the eyes of leader of this country, before letting them know of our problems.

Just a warning. The one and only time I filed an ammended return, I was audited. Therefore, I am assuming that ammending a return could cause greater scrutiny by the IRS. Even though my audit went fine, it is a PITA.

from Ron's newsletter
"One additional reason for making sure that you have a valid EAD at all times is so that you can claim unemployment benefits in the event you lose your job"
This is my understanding too, one doesn't have to have a continues employment in AOS status, only required to have a job or a job offer at the time of adjudications of I-485. I know one person who was able to get his green card on the basis of a new job offer at the time of adjudication (during interview process). Ron's newsletter is the first I have seen which is specifically mentioning unemployment benefit for AOS applicants. Thanks OP!!!

Your status is in no way tied to the validity of your passport. Making I94 expire with passport is not legally justified. I know two friends who have I94s expiring beyond their passport expiration date. Also, last time I extended my H1B, the I94 they sent expired 11 months after my passport expiration.
But as is usual with USCIS and CBP, different agents behave differently. Some give you I94 expiring 10 days after H1B, some the same day. They are rarely consistent.
If you think USCIS is crazy, wait till you try renewing your driver's license. Regular state DMV employees are expected to be well versed on immigration matters?!? Huh, what a joke...
A passport is a travel document. If it expires, it does not mean you lost your nationality or status, it just means you cannot travel. Imagine if visa stamps expired with passports too...
Fact: legislators and bureaucrats do not really care. They set fairly arbitrary rules, to justify why they are getting their salaries (which we are paying).

I can understand the anxiety. I have similar concerns but you cannot do much when your luck is involved. No matter the amount of scrutiny or verification you do on your part, if your luck is not good, there may be rejection. But they will not reject, they will issue NOID. You have time to appeal etc etc.
So chill out. Enjoy AC21 (the bill was passed to provide relief, not give more tension).
Do not worry too much about what can happen tomorrow. Enjoy today. Enjoy this month. Enjoy this year.
You are a MI Chapter member and you have done the right thing (supporting IV). Have faith in IV and continue to support IV. I am sure the days of seeing the freedom is near.

Well that's where the problem lies. State of Arizona considers me a resident based on:
1. I have lived here for past 12 consacutive month.
2. Pay state taxes.
Yet the university refuses to accept that and still consideres me non-resident just to charge a higher fee. This is so strange.
I would consult an attorney to understand your residency status..
usually at the time of filing your tax you do declare your residency status (like you are a resident of X or Y state..(if i am not wrong)..]
I think its a legal loophole they are exploiting..sad;-(

Guys, If we try something its not gonna hurt us. If we don't try we may have lost an opportunity. The least that this dude can do for us is listen and then we can follow up.
I insist, again, lets talk abt soc. sec treaty. With thousands of us having together millions in that account, the US gov. will have to do something. Remember-its our money- the US govt. cannot deny it if asked by The Indian govt. IF they wanna keep it, better give us our GCs!
I agree !

does anyone have the bill number that was passed by clinton to recapture visas from previous years. i wanted to know who the sponsors for the bill were. if its was a simple bill maybe the state chapters can talk to their congresspeople about passing something similar in the interim. it will reduce the waiting time for everybody and it is certainly non controversial...just thinking aloud.

Truth always hurts. It is not too much talking when I say that people can't afford to contribute 20 bucks to IV. Out of roughly 9000 members, only 200 contributed in the last contribution drive and now you should be able to do the math yourself. That is the fact and it's very troubling that 98% of the members chose to contribute nothing.
If you expect 200 people to find relief for 1 million so called high skilled immigrants present in United States, may be you need to wake up and do some reality check. Just checking IV 50 times a day for an update will not bring any relief, if that's what you are counting on. No wonder we are yet to see any relief whatsoever.
--for you only.please read below the reply posted by fellow member franklin--
First off - I have contributed, but here is an explanation of my initial reluctance to do so and possibly why I haven't contributed more than I have, since you asked.
I have often been offended by the tone and bias on this board, when it is plainly evident that the majority of power posters think their own situation as being the only thing that should be resolved, alienating others as a result.
Don't tell me to donate by spending less money on stuff that culturally I never do, or refer to people that I know little about - all for cultural reasons. It was this thread that spurred me to contribute, and ironically, this thread that also offended me first. I still haven't forgotten that.
Wonder how else you alienate people? Try posting in a language that isn't English.
Regarding the recent pledge drive in particular, it gives me a nasty taste in my mouth since it stings of hypocrisy that I can't get over. A similar one was attempted by a member here (which I signed up for), using the ""I will donate $10 monthly to Immigration Voice for one year but only if 1,000 other people will do the same."
That effort, although endorsed by the core group, got 88 people to vote, and was criticized in these very forums as being a waste of time, or not the proper way to do it. Of course, fast forward a few months and now look...
I also find it distasteful to have to read through threads that could be of some importance or value, but find that good chunks are just "Hey, look at me, look at how much I contributed"
So, since I'm all bitter and alienated , why did I actually contribute?
Every time I get annoyed or offended by someone's insensitive or cultural narrow mindedness, I try to ignore it and remind myself that that single person does not represent the values of the core group and this organization as a whole. It gets challenging.
Please don't flame me, I am trying to be honest

My file is also sent to des moines IA. been there since june 08.
PD is current for a while. no updates yet.
On July 21st, 2008 my case was transferred to CSC where they are not even processing any 485s. I waited to several years for PD to become current and no sooner did it became current, it was transferred to a black hole. I got different versions from customer service/Io and info pass persons as to where the case is. The reality is that I do not know where my case is right now. The website still shows that it was transferred to CSC.
