Just wondering if anybody is giving up hopes of GC and switching from H1B to E3D (Dependent of Australian spouse) to take advantage of 2-yr renewable EADs...? How long does it take to get the initial EAD...Continue working without pay (or is there a workaround) while waiting for EAD?....any problems getting visa stamped with a 'yes' for past immigrant petition filed...
7yrs in this country...EB2 PD of 10/07 due to job changes..no 140 yet, no 485...6yrs in same job? no promotions? with 3yr extensions...frustration beyond words...E3D seems to a ray of hope but no idea of complications involved.

I heard that GC is for a future position. If this is the case, can labor, I-140 and I-485 be filed for a person and this person join the company after labor, I-140 and I-485 have been approved? The person will join the same position mentioned in the labor cert with salary >= the labor petition.
Yes you can.

Thanks,

Is your wife travelling on H4 or AP.In both cases she should be fine.If she will travel on H4 then this is totally unrelated as your H1 is still valid and and she will be fine,if she is on AP then after RFE your case is suspended for about 3 weeks when you reply for the RFE and according to me she will be safe in the interim period of suspension to travel.
Please consult your attorney for confirmation.
Hope this helps.

Check recent visa bulletin. Now a days, bringing spouse by Citizen and GC holders are of not much difference. Go to India and do the marriage, and come back and file I-130. December bulletin calling for August 2010 filers. Forget about H1B and F1.
Family-Based - "2A" refers to the first subcategory of the Second Preference in Family-Based Immigration category, i.e., spouses or unmarried children under age 21 of permanent residents;

I'm an unmarried Indian national and came to the US on H-1B visa. My father petitioned for me in FB F1 category. My priority date is September 1, 1999. I applied for AOS in the US and received my EAD and AP. I recently met a girl doing job on H-1B(Indian national) and we will like to tie the knot in near future. I was wondering if it would have any effect on my AOS processing( I do not have the actual Green card yet). Will my category change to F3 if I marry her now? Any suggestions/ideas are welcome.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Its really a good idea.
But you need little more home work as listed below.
(1) Update your profile first.
(2) Book an appointment with your lawmaker to discuss this idea.
Let me know if you want me or other to join in your meeting. If you are living in my state I will join you.
To me you are a perfect leader to lead this initiative....
Hows that ?

Hi ,
I was working for company A and got my labor and I-140 approved and then i changed to company B. My priority date is jan 2005. Is there any way that i can continue my green card process with company A. WOuld be of great help if somone can tell me if there is any way to do it.
I think that as far as company A agrees, it shouldn't be a problem. I believe the GC application is for a future job offer.

I recently made the move to digital by purchasing a D70. I'm interested in purchasing the Nikon SC-29 cord for use with a SB-800 on a Stroboframe quick-flip frame. I like the idea of the added flexibility that the SC-29 gives over the SC-28 because of the additional autofocus lamp.
However, after I ordered the SC-29 from Etronics.com (who listed this product as being in stock), they contacted me a day later to say that it was actually out of stock. Furthermore, they said that Nikon had discontinued the product, and that though they tried, they were not able to obtain one of these cables through another channel.
Has anyone heard about Nikon canceling the SC-29? That doesn't make any sense to me. I've seen these for sale on e-bay, but that is through a Japanese reseller, and the shipping takes a couple of weeks (not to mention, it's not an authorized Nikon USA dealer).
Any other information or input about the SC-29?
Thanks so much!

I am asking this question for relative of mine. I wanted to get some honest opinions.
My relative was manager in India for family company (extended family) for 3-4 years. He received visitor visa about 2 years ago, and subsequently arrived in US.
After taking extended tour of US, he felt that he could expand Indian company's business in US. His companied in India tried to open up business in US. He received L1A for 1 year. However, due to bad economy, business advantature wasn't successful.
He wanted to try to stay in US and try some other management position for established company. Subsequently applied for H1B. He recently received denial notice from USCIS.
Currently, original L1A is expired. L1A extension is pending (lawyer was late in filing, and only filed 7 days before expiration of original L1A).
Is he out of status at this point (expired L1A and denied H1B)? L1A extension is still pending.
What are his option if he wants to stay LEGALLY in US?
Please excuse my ignorance but I do not know much about immigrations, as I am US Citizen myself and never had to go through this grusome process.
I would also appreciate attorney's input.

My limited understanding about the GC process is that from the day I-485 is filed, a person may change his/her job only after 180 days or more, and of course by filing AC 21.
Yes, you are correct.
Also, in case the I-485 does not get approved within the 180 days after filing, then how can a person change a job without having an EAD.
You can file for EAD along with 485 or after you file 485 - EAD will be issued within 90 days (as of writing w/ current processing times) from the date of filing. You can change job only after 180 days filing 485 - In order for you to work for another employer you need EAD
A person can EAD only once I-485 is approved? Is that correct.
You will get GC itself once 485 approved, there is no need for EAD - EAD is a temporary work permit set to expire in 1 or 2 years from the date of issue

I have I-140 approved and also based on I-140, I have 3 years H1B approved which expires in 2010.
My I-485 was rejected and I have re-submitted which is obviously pending and not further news on that (refiled on 10/10/07 at CSC)
I have following questions:
1. If I want to travel to INDIA for 6-8 weeks, Is there any problem?
2. Can I get H1B VSIA stampled at BOMBAY?
3. Do I need any other document except H1B approval notice & I-140 approval notice?
4. Do I need to mention about I-485 been filed?
Please help. Thank you in advance.

Recently I joined new company using AC21. When I joined this new company, my new company told me that they will not handle any immigration matter but will provide with necessary documents if needed. So, I asked my previous attorney to continue my case and he prepared letter for AC21 and sent to USCIS. Now, after couple of weeks, now the lawyer from my new company sent me G-28 form to fill, which is technically to switch the attorney and telling me that this new attorney will be sending AC21 documents again. But my new company is not doing G-28 for my wife. So, now I am in delemma whether to file G-28 and switch the attoney and send AC21 documents again.
Is it advisable to stay with old attorney as he had all the original documents and whatever being sent to USCIS OR switch to new attorney appointed by new company. This new attorney also saying that most of the time G-28 form will never make to USCIS I485 case and will get lost in mailroom. In that case all the correspondence will still goto old attorney. So, I wasn't sure what is safest and best way to handle this.
From my prospective, I should be good since my old attorney already sent AC21 documents to USCIS including my apointment letter from new employer with copies of all necessary document. so, Do I need to switch attorney at this stage of Green card (I485). What could be the possible queries in future regarding AC21. My old company is very reputed and they will not revoke my I-140. Similarly my new company is also very reputed. Both are in similar business and my job is similar and both are fortune 100 companies.
My case is EB3 ROW with priority date of March 2006. Now I am working on EAD.
Thanks in advance.
