Hi
I'm on h1 and also have an EAD
My current job is on my h1. And I have an EAD, but never used it.
Question: Can I work pat time on my EAD and still retain my h1.
Any pros and cons?
Thanks

I have approved i-140 and I have applied for 3 year extension for my H1-B (I am currently in the sixth year of H1-b). If I switch employers, would I get 3 years on my new H1-B or time left in the sixth year? I am willing to restart the green card process due to stalled immigration reform bill.

Hi everyone,
Today i got an alert form USCIS that the pending 485s (for my wife and myself) have been transferred from NSC to TSC. Wanted to see if others with 485s pending at NSC have seen similar action.
My priority date is Oct 2005 and my 485 has been pending at NSC since July 2007.

Friends, can someone help answer a few questions for considering filed I-485 and adding spouse at the later. I am planning to get married in the January or february time frame in India. I have read at several places that one can add spouse anytime BEFORE 485 APPROVAL. I work on H1B, I am from India and my priority date is Oct 06 with approved EAD and I 485 pending. I have some specific questions in case my priority date becomes current. My question is -
1. Can I travel and enter on my H1 even if my AP is approved/pending?
2. Is it safer to travel on AP even if I have a valid/invalid H1 stamped on my passport?
3. Can my wife enter on H4 and then we add her name to 485 when she is in US?
Thanks for any/all additional help you can provide with my scenario. I can be flexible if someone has any suggestions that can help my case.
Of course I will be taking my lawyer's advice and use your suggestions to enchance my knowledge and present some scenarios to the lawyer.
Thanks for all your help!!

I think it's not wise to leave. I tried googling for h-1b transfer & leaving the country but didn't get much info. I think if a transfer is pending with USCIS then you shouldn't leave the country as it may be considered as abandonment of the application.
i would advice to get it done under premium processing. i am not sure when the i-94 records are updated but if USCIS sees that you left India while the transfer is pending, they might issue you I-797 but with instructions to get it stamped at a consulate in India.
just my thoughts..better try googling or ask some lawyer.

1) Allowing filing of EAD only 120 days before its expiry when the processing times by itself is >120 days
2) Issuing a FAQ on interim EAD in 2008 when the process itself was eliminated in 2006.
3) Issuing separate biometrics notices for EAD and I-485 for the same beneficiary.
4) Allowing the beneficiary to work on H1 receipt notice but not on EAD receipt notice.
5) Running multiple background checks for the same beneficiary for different immigration benefits (I-140, EAD, AP, I-485)
6) Issuing RFE for EAD biometrics even after completing biometrics.
7) Issuing RFE for EAD biometrics without issuing biometrics notice.
8) Issuing EAD/AP’s with incorrect name, sex, DOB, photograph and validity dates thereby preventing the beneficiary from working/traveling without any alternative until the correction is made.
9) Requesting an EAD expedite letter even after 90 days in spite of the obligation to approve EAD within 90 days.
10) Requesting a wait time of 30 days to act on EAD expedite request even after 90 days thereby making the total wait time to 120 days (90 days +30 days) which by the way equals the time allowed to file EAD before its expiry.
11) CSR’s providing conflicting answers to the same question.
12) Backward movement of processing times instead of forward movement.
13) Blindly approving petitions on raising mandamus law suits without providing a reason for the delay.
14) Not sending the EAD physical cards on time even after the change in online status to CPO.
15) IO’s at POE interpreting the usage of AP in different ways.
16) Denying non-immigrant petitions like H1 on flimsy grounds such as not having a direct client and approving I-140 immigrant petition for the same beneficiary/employer.
17) Issuing EAD/AP combined document and then issuing a memo that it’s invalid for travel.
18) Allowing the beneficiary to work without employment authorization for 180 days (Section 245(k)) but going after the employer for engaging in such unauthorized employment.
19) Requesting the EAD beneficiary to take an infopass appointment after 90 days without providing a provision to book an appointment when no slots are available.
20) Last but not the least, wasted visa numbers and growing backlog with increased fees.
Sounds like our desi babus are better than these potato heads. God Bless America.

We have a wealth of information from A to Z on US Immigration, why dont we ourselves write articles and editorials and get them published in the News Papers, Journals, etc?
Why are we waiting for some one to come to us and take information to write articles on us. Does Newspapers check the background of authors to verify if they are citizens/non-citizens/green card holders/ H1B's. What all matters to them is quality and authenticity of the articles.
Do you folks think this a good option to pursue?

I had to generate paystubs for my wife from Jan 07 to May 07 due to recent USCIS goof up. She started working from May 07. However all the paystubs generated ( 5) , have a pay period from 05/01 - 05/31 and pay date is 07/11
Does anyone know if it is ok to have the 5 paystubs with the same pay period. The Lca talks about salary per year. The employers claims that it is ok. What should I do in this case. Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
So let me summarize this so I understand well.
Your wife started work only in June 2007. But you wanted to show USCIS that your wife was actually working from Jan 2007. So you asked her employer to give pay stubs for Jan - May 2007. The employer did that (and I am guessing) without really paying you for those months. And you paid taxes (Federal and State) and SS and Medicare for those months in July.
So USCIS and IRS will both think that your wife has been working since Jan 2007 when in reality she started only in June 2007.
Thanks,
Jayant

As per my understanding, extension will be given if and only if :
Either Labor is pending for more than 365 days or Labor and I-140 is approved.
If Labor is pending for more than 365 days, one year extension is approved and if Labor and I-140 is approved, three year extension is approved.
Am I right in interpreting the rule correctly?
Hello All,
I am on 7th year of my H1 and my I-140 is pending. Since my current H1 is about to expire, I need to file for my 8th year of H1 extension. Do you think there could be some problem in getting my 8th year extension since my labor is approved and I-140 is pending. The way I interpreted the extension rule is that you can only get the extension if your labor is pending for more than 1 year but in my case my labor is approved and I-140 is pending.And I cannot wait for I-140 approval since my current H1 is about to expire.
Please advise.
Thanks

Just wanted to share our 7th year H-1B extension stamping in Chennai on July 15th. Since my I-140 was approved, the I-797 petition was approved for 3 years. My family (wife and daughter) attended the interview along with me. The procedure for H-1B extension/renewal is much easier in Chennai compared to first time stampers. There is a separate counter for renewals and the interview procedure is quite simple. After the initial screening of documents, we went to a separate renewal counter which did not have any queue.
The VO just asked some questions about my nature of the job and how long I have been with my company. FYI, my company is a major reputed IT Foreign MNC. My family was not asked any questions. We did not have any PIMS delays and I got the passport couriered the very next day itself. The petition was approved a month before the stamping. Overall it is a much streamlined process for H-1B visa extensions/renewals.

My main concern is RD of 28th August.....Does that mean that we are falling out of August 17 window and our cases will be put on hold or may be denied.......
Atleast, if I had RD of July 2, 2007...when our cases reached USCIS....I would not worry about it that much.....
Now...when it get transfered to NSC, will we get new case #s....I think all cases at NSC starts with LIN....
Anybody else in same situation?
Did you guys talk to your Attorney?
I just sent an email to my Attorney and waiting for the reply....

ndbhatt,
If I read your profile right, you arrived in US in April 2005 flied for LC in July 07. I think that is a different situation than someone working in H1B since 1999 (F1 since 1996). Do you know anyone in H1B since 1999 and without an EAD option? I suppose waiting 14 years is very different than waiting 5 years..
Yes, it is different and its unfortunate in your case. However, there is nothing you can do other than wait for your date to be current in order for you to apply for I-485 and EAD/AP.
