Here is what I can advise
1) Get all the supporting documentation that you have for both cases. Example tickets/ citations, fine receipts, any other docs related to the case you can find. make sure you make photo copies of all documents
2) Get a court dispositon documents for both cases to prove that the cases are closed and fine was paid
3) Make sure you run all these documents past your immigration attorney to ensure nothing is missing. Also get in touch with your lawyers that handled the DUI & other case to see if they can help you with paperwork
4) If you are not comfortable defending you case you can take an attorney with you. That is entirely optional thing.
5) No one on this forum or immigration officer has any moral right to tell you what you did was good or bad. Its the job of courts and they have already made you pay fine. So as long as you can furnish all relevant papers that these cases are closed you are fine with your immigration process.
Thanks for the comment!
I've done the entire process on my own untill today. I also did not have any lawyers involved in any of the misdemeanors. I do have documentation of all the cases. All cases are closed and I'm just paying the fines and have to put up with the probation. I spoke to a lawyer (first time I met with him) today and he advise me to pay him $600 to accompany me to the interview.
Any take on the lawyer's advice? Or can I take the challenge on my own?

Bill Gates testified in front of most of the important senators who wrote this bill. Even he could not make a difference. There is nothing in this bill he had asked for.
Not IV or Lobby group that IV has, can it really make a difference? There is as much as we can do and everything else becomes uncontrolable. Even IV core group are normal people like us but with connections more than us. But they have their own regular job to do as well.
So I guess we can only try calling the senators and hope they will change their mind and hope for the best. Expecting and/or trusting IV or Lobby group will really help would be sacrificial.
I am not questioning what IV does. The core group really does what is their in their hands and we should appreciate that.
Good Luck!

As long as you are still doing S/W related job, don't worry about VB , C# or Java etc ...I myself used AC21 rule to change the job and got GC in September.. I know a lot of ppl got GC after using AC21. Most of the ppl, I know (including me) did not inform USCIS about AC21. Ron Gotcher was my attorney and according to him, sending AC21 documents might complicate the case. Also, he informed me that AC21 rule is practiced in a very liberal way by the USCIS ... so don't worry ...

DOB certificate is important for all applicants (including spouse and children) but if you cant get it, some advise to get affidavit from parents and Non-Availability Certificate from the local municipal corporation in your place of birth as a substitute for DOB certificate. But USCIS filing procedures are constantly changing so be careful to check with your attroney to avoid future queries because they might say they cant accept this substitution anymore.
Disclamer: check with your attroney for your situation as I'm not an attroney.

Dear All
I will be thankful to you if i can get the responses from some folks who have gone through the situation like mine.
Here is the summary of my case -
1) Came to US in 2004 on F1 visa.
2) Got the job in 2006. Company A applied for H1B in 2007. Got H1B visa stamped on passport valid from September 2007 to September 2010.
3) Was laid off on 16th Novmeber 2007.
4) Company B applied for H1B petition on 21st December 2007 using regular processing. No pay check from company B.
5) Company C applied for H1B petition in March 2008 using premium processing. Comapny C applied based on A and not based on B.
6) Company C's petition got approved but with I 797 B. No I - 94 attached. Attorney asked me to leave the country and come back with a new I 94 as i have an almost brand new visa. I did so. And started working with Company C. Meanwhile, company B's petition was approved in May 2008 without Adjustment of Status (means no I 94 attached only I 797 B)
7) Worked with company C from April 2008 to September 2008. Although, no pay check from 16th November 2007 to 1 April 2008 because company B did not provide any.
8) Got the job with company D. Company D applied for H1B petition and it was approved with I 94 attached ( means I 797A).
Now 2010 is coming and my visa will expire in September 2010.
I want to go to India to get the H1B stamp on my passport with the current employer's I 797 (which is employer D).
I do not have any documentation from Company B except receipt number for H1B petition. I do not have any pay check from company B.
I have paycheck from 1st April 2008 to 31 September 2008 from Company C and 1st October 2008 to till date from Company D.
Will i face problem during visa interview?
I am thankful to your comments and suggestions.

Good to hear there is a serious attempt being made. However, in light of what is happening with comprehensive healthcare reform, is it advisable to try comprehensive immigration reform especially with the congressional make of of the 2 chambers?
The 2010 CIR already had strict border protection clauses and it mandated a secure border first. It looks like the republicans want to split it from the 'illegals path to legalization' and concentrate on bills that have enforcement first, reading Graham's statement. He was even opposed to the moderate DREAM act.

In India, as of this day only Rs 1L is secured if a bank fails ............... isn't that way too low.

That is way too low compared to what FDIC insures us.

but in this case the H1b stamp on my passport is still valid and not expired.
i am entering on nov 11th. stamp expires on december 1. why i am worried is just because the stamp is still of old employer whereas 797 is of new employer.
port of entry may ask me why didnt i get the stamp again when it is just expiring after 20 days ?? U know....
There will be no issue in entering US as you got the visa stamp till Dec 1st 2007.
Visa stamp is just to allow a person to enter US. They don't care whether it is with current employer or old employer. They just need valid visa stamp and latest I-797 approval notice of same classification. I.e. if you have H1B visa stamp and you need to have only H1B approval notice. You cannot have B1 visa stamp and use H1B approval notice.
There will be no issue. As a precaution, carry all original old approval notices also.
They will give I-94 with the end date there on latest approval. Thats for sure. But just check what date he/she is putting on I-94.
Good luck.

I don't think Address change (AR 11) will invoke any RFE.
It will definitely get a LUD on the i-485, as its referring the address change to I-485
I have changed address twice in the last 2 years, filing AR-11 online. Its quite straight forward and simple.
Please don't be scared to move ur Apartments / home due to pending I-485

Personally I dont think there would be much difference between Eb2 and Eb3 going forward (with Obama\Dick durbin presidency). With Obama CIR we might be forced to reapply in points based system in which case both eb2 and eb3 are screwed. I am not sure what sort of toxic potion is being brewed by Durbin for Eb community. Atleast with Mccain we might have 4 more years of same in which case there might be some hope for both eb2 and eb3.
I doubt that all the pending applicants in EB categories will be forced to re-apply in the new point based systems. That system might be for the new applicants, There might very well be a recapture for all the lost visa so far...to get thru the pending applications quickly so that the new point based system would be in place...I highly doubt that all the pending applicants will be forced to apply in the point based system...I would like to get input from others as well

Thanks for all the information and support, I really appreciate that.
I just talked with DOL representative, he was very supportive and he asked me to fill WH4 and fax it to them and said they will take immediate action on this.
I just have one more question, my employer has branch in CA and NJ both states so which address I should mention in WH4? as I think both states have diff. rules.

I just wanted to bump this and get people's opinion on what paper work and other things we should be aware of by not changing the employers who sponsered our green card, but have applied for 485, have I-140 approved (180 days passed since I-140 approval and I-485 receipt dates) and received EAD/AP.
I guess lot of people are in this category. So far, the only advise I have seen is: Extend H1 instead of using EAD.
You have understand the pros and cons for H1 vs EAD
H1:
1. Expensive
2. If for some reason there is an RFE or for that matter any thing, you can always fall back on h1 and then fight for your case
3. if employer revokes I 140 in your case (it would not affect) but you know uscsis. so be careful and H1 helps
EAD:
1. Flexibility
2. more options
3. you can be out of status
4. no employer problems
5. if you have gap, when you extend. then you will be out of job
6. you cannot fall back on H1
so you need to decide.
good luck

I had asked this question to the immigration lawyer at IV. She said that if you are working for the same company at their offices aboard & go for Consular Processing ( it is the only option as you can not go 485 route) it should be just fine. However, if the company that you are working for when you are abroad and the company that did your GC are not the same thenit is almost impossible to prove that the job exists when you arrive in USA after CP.
That is why you need a new employment letter from your US employer to bring to the consular interview. The letter is the proof that the job exists for when you arrive in the US.
However, if the individual has no intention of working at the US company upon arrivial, or if they do not want to hire him back (and thus not give him the letter), he will not be approved at the consulate.
