I have a EAD valid for next 2 years and H1 is also valid till Nov 2010, my employer want to cancel my H1 and to put me on EAD. Is there any kind of risk involved in doing so, Please suggest.
There is not much risk in moving to EAD but I don't get why your employer wants to cancel an H1 which is valid till 2010. I have seen employers not wanting to extend an H1 if the employee has an EAD but going out of way to cancel a valid H1 seems extreme.
Tell your employer to continue your employment on H1 until it expires and then they can start you on EAD. That would give you enough time to think of the PROs and CONS.
A lot of people move to EAD ( don't renew H1 ) since it only costs more money for the company ( although it provides a small safety net in case your I-485 is in jeopardy somehow ). In my view it is very safe to move to EAD but again in your case I would ask the company to wait till 2010 for your current H1 to expire.

My current AP expires on 2 Aug 2009. I applied for renewal on 2 May and it was approved on the 20th. But the validity is only till 19 may 2010 and not 2 aug 2010.
I have lost almost 3 months here. Is it normal or a special case that i need to call USCIS?
Please advise.

Hi,
My I140 is approved and I485 is pending. I am working Full Time as a Software Devloper on EAD with a Consulting Company. I have been offered a part time work of same nature by my friend. He has a company and he offers to pay me on 1099.
Would it be ok to work part time(15 Hrs. per week) and accept payment on 1099.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Nid

Let us keep the focus on our issue. What are we going to protest next? Family-Based Immigrant Visas, which are given out, without any real numerical limits, only because someone is related to a citizen?
The "U" visas are for people who have suffered violence in indescribable ways. Despite the limbo the EB Visa beneficiaries face, let us not even begin comparing our predicament with the sometimes life-ending plight of people who qualify for "U" visas.

My wife came to US in 2008 on H4 visa. Last year (2009) she got her H1-B visa approved. She applied for a SSN on Oct 1st, 2009 but is still waiting on it! When we enquired from the SS office about the delay they said that her first and last names in INS database are mispelled which is why it doesn't match their system, hence the delay. Even though I showed them the H1-B approval notice with the correct name on it they keep insisting that the INS system that they are verifying against shows the mispelled name. I took an Infopass and went to the INS office and got the confirmation that there is no such problem with their system. Both SS office and INS are not giving me anything in writing that I can take to the other party in order to get the issue resolved. It has been almost 5 months and we are still waiting for her SSN.
Has anyone else faced this issue?
What should we do to get this fixed? What are our options here?

In the last days, I have realized that we have something in common with the first Pilgrims that came to America, we also have a lot in common with all the immigrants that arrived last century to the Ellis Island, and that is the same COURAGE and values to go after our dreams giving the best of ourselves for this country and for our families.
Based on what we did this last month dont you think that we need to take action to do something to make possible an increase on the GCs quota?.
I'd like to use this forum to generate all together as a team great Ideas to show that we are a positive agent of succes for America. The idea of the flowers was marvelous but I think is time to move forward, some new ideas could be:
- Pay a TV commercial showing that we (America) need diversity, need talented Immmigrants to maintain their leadership in the world.
- Post ads in the news papers (WSJ, NY times, Washington Post etc) with the same message.
- I read the blog of Greg Siskind he is doing something great mentioning oustanding immigrants on daily basis, why dont we do the same?
- Attend all senator meetings and speech and have smart and pacific members of IV in all of them showing the message?
I THINK WE CAN DO IT, we are the owners of our future, we are the only really interested in have our GCs, I dont see the USCIS, Lou Dobbs, or USANET interested in see something positive about us.
Please lest post our ideas, and together as a team as the new America immigrants lets look for our future. America is the land where everything is possible I DO BELIEVE IN AMERICA SAME AS THE PILGRIMS AND I THINK YOU ALL BELIEVE THE SAME THATS WHY WE ARE HERE AND why WE READ THIS FORUM...
Please we need ideas.... LETS MOVE FORWARD WE CAN DO IT........

Folks, I have received a notice from USCIS stating the following:

Your application was received without the necessary fingerprint fee.
Under 8CFR 103.2(e), this fee of $70.00 must be submited along with the filing fee fot the application/petition. If this office has not recieced the fee within 87 days, your application will be considered to be abandoned under ...
Is there any one else in the same boat? What are my options here?
I too received a similar notice. My employer replied by submitting proof of the paid checks. Meanwhile, I received my receipt notice that shows $395 received. I have also received the FP notice and the same was completed yesterday. Customer service was not of much help.

Hello Gurus,
I am planning to apply for EAD and AP. Debating myself if I have to go with e-filing or paper based. Some one told me, paper based DOES NOTrequired biometrics where as E-filing DOES need biometrics? Could you please shed some light on this?

You get SS after you cross 55 or 58 I think. How knows by then they might bring some law to stop the SS for outsiders.
There is a archive thread on this already.Read it dear h1bs.
the only reason i'm staying here is to complete the 10 years of social security payments. leaving now would be foolish. this green card business is just a carrot to get endlessly humiliated.
does anyone have any knowledge of non-citizens claiming social security in india?
as per the SS, indian citizens who have contributed >= 10 years can claim SS payments in india.

has anyone actually seen this happen?

These are so screwed up...
Looks like they are heavily back logged.. (mabye cause the conslate did not accept PIO and OCI applications for almost a month)
I sent in my daughter's OCI for miscelaneous service - move OCI sticker to new passport...
sent it in March and its still not yet reached the consulate..
when I applied the rules said they need a copy of old passport, they later changed the rules and are now saying you need to send orignal passport.
I sent the orignal passport also to them and since then no update -:(
Just impossible to reach them also...am on the phone since the last 2 hours -:( and still waiting...
they do not reply to emails either.
any one else here having trouble with them ?

Hi,
I am in a situation and hope someone here would be able to provide me with some advice. I was employed by Company A since 2006 and I was working at a Client location for the last 3 years. There is company B who is the primary vendor for the Client. Recently my H1 extension was denied and so I went out of status. I reached out to my end client for help. Since they are happy with my work, they said that they can talk to another vendor (company C) to sponsor a new H1 for me. Company C is now ready to file my H1 but the problem is that Company A somehow got to know about this and is enforcing a non compete agreement on me.
I wanted to know if they can do this even though the H1 was denied and they are unable to provide me with any job. Can they stop me from earning my livelihood. I did not go out and breached any contract, I am trying to move only because my H1 with company A has been denied. The only thing is that the end client is the same.
Regards

Consulting company doing it for a cost? Sorry, I did not understand. Why do we need consulting company? What costs?
Any legitimate company should be able to port the PD from an approved I-140 as long as it is allowed.
The plan is to continue working for my current company. I want to use some consulting firm, to file my labor and the whole 9 yards using my current priority date. I dont want to join them. I dont think they will do it for free, if I dont plan on working for them?

H1, H4 (spouse) and H4 (kid) living happily.
File 485 and gets EAD/AP.
H1 doesn't use EAD.
H4 uses EAD and hence looses H4 status.
I-485 is denied.
Now, my understanding is that spouse has to go out of country and come back again on H4.
What about the kid?
When does the kid loose his/her H4 status? (When both mother and father use EAD)?

My advise is to buy insurance from some local (means american company). The main reason is when you buy insurance from overseas company (even UK based) hospitals here don't honor them and you may be in big trouble. Also I per my first hand experience, Its very hard to get any reimbursments from Indian Insurance company, it takes months to get your money back.
Try www..com and you will get different options. But again do your own research and take your chances.

I could take upto 3 months of sabbatical partially paid (1st month:100%, 2nd,3rd-50%) - I am currently on H1 Visa and working for the employer who sponsered by GC. I would like to know if there is any effect of taking sabbatical on my pending I485 ?
Thanks
Since you're on H1 that might be a problem as your W2 will reflect the lwage info . You can either take a leave of absence for a month or 2 (not more than that) If there's a query during H1 extension , you can let them know that you had taken a leave. Draft a leave letter and mail it to the employer so that he has it in records.
But if you use your EAD it doesnt matter. You dont have to worry about the 3months.

Could anyone tell me when the PD is exactly ported.
1. I filed my labor thorugh location A for a company. Then the company moved me to location B within the same state.
2. My company attorney asked me to refile the labor sicne the location is changed. I did and get it approved.
3. In the mean time, I got my location A labor cleared. So to port the PD, i asked the company to file 140 for location A. They did and it get approved.
4. Now I filed the 140 for location B.
I did not see at any place in the second 140 mentioning about my previous PD . How and when exactly the PD is considered ported?

Most Immigration Lawyers that care for their work are tired of Mr. Dobbs. Mr. Leopold from AILA posted a valid statement about Dobbs' campagin of Hate:
CNN has a journalistic obligation to dump Lou Dobbs and his campaign of hate against immigrants.
It is unthinkable that a major network would permit someone to build a career based on fear and hatred of human beings. Why the double standard when it comes to immigrants?
As Janet Murguia, the President and CEO of the National Council of La Raza pointed out yesterday in her Huffington Post blog, http://bit.ly/Mk0ez, Dobbs disgarded any sense of journalistic objectivity or integrity (assuming he had any to begin with) when he openly participated in an anti-immigrant rally in Washington, DC sponsored by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), an organization designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as a hate group. According to SPLC:
� FAIR was founded by John Tanton, who also operates a racist publishing company and has compared immigrants to "bacteria."
� FAIR has employed members of white supremacist groups in key positions.
� FAIR has promoted racist conspiracy theories.
� FAIR has accepted more than $1 million from the Pioneer Fund, a foundation devoted to eugenics and to proving a connection between race and IQ.
� FAIR president Dan Stein once suggested that Asians and Hispanics were engaged in "competitive breeding."
Of course Dobbs� recent display of hate mongering is just his most recent in a long line of abuse including, as Murguia points out in her blog,
� His regular use of guests representing hate groups, vigilantes, and nativists as experts on immigration
� His relentless repetition of stories on immigrants and crime that project an impression far from reality
� His association of immigrants as carriers of disease that has been both inaccurate and pejorative
Enough is enough.
If CNN is serious about responsible broadcast journalism it must put an end to Lou Dobbs' hateful tirade once and for all.
