I found the EAD v/s H1B article quite informative, articulate and really eye-opening. I dont see any issues with posting links to other immigration sites, PROVIDED those links are not simply marketing links and DO actually provide good immigration-related info. Some of the stuff he has written makes a lot of sense and Ron is not taking the same stance everyone else takes where they advise people to stay on H1B status to keep milking them for attorney fees.

gimme_my_gc, do you have EAD?
If yes then.. you are NOT out of status...only worry would be Annual W2 salary of your needs to be around gross specified in Labor..
Hi All,
I just joined this site today and wanted to get some input on the following situation:
My current situation is:
Working for a company ABC
completed 6 years on H1 and currently in the 7th year extension
Green card in process for more than a year - Eb3 with PD Jun 2002, I-140 approved
Can extend H1B again in about 6 months, for a 3 year extension
The question I have is , if one has a valid extended H1B for the 7th year and beyond, what happens if one were to lose their job during the extended H1B period, without getting their GC?
1) Can they continue to stay till the end of the extended H1B period by applying for a job with another company?
2) Or should they leave the USA as the first 6 years have been completed without getting a GC, and the extended H1B period would become invalid as soon as they lose the job with the company that processed the extended H1B?
Any input is appreciated. Thanks for your time.

I think your lawyer is screwing you. $7,500 just for labor certification.I know, my lawyer is not cheap, but as a result we were able to file i-485 2 months before my son turned 21. It was big relief for our family.
Also she is very good in communication - I have copy of all documents, including I-140 approval and I-485 submission (around 3 inches of paper :) )

How many single folks are here in forum and contributing $100 per month. I dont think the ratio of members registered to members contributing make any sense at any time to do any lobbying for specific group. IV should have one goal and stick to it. I appreciate those singles who contribute and work as a team with IV. No offense. But with 20,000 registered users, there are only less than 500 recurring contributors. Some are not even registerting.
What happened/happens to the PBEC / DBEC backlogged people? They are in the worst situation than these single fellows.

I believe all these bills are in response to Bill gates addressing Dept. of Science and Technology last week though he mentioned EB issue he only faced a deaf ear from chair and he stressed a lot on H1B despite of lot of opposition from reps.

The media caters to its audience just like any other business nterested in its own customers. When markets worldwide rise or fall in response to election results in India, it gets major media attention everywhere because the audience is interested. Diwali is as unimportant in America as Thanksgiving in the U.K. There is no point fretting over it. Diwali could become newsworthy when people globally start tracking shopping sales in India since their businesses might depend on them. It's better to sharpen our skills so that we can seamlessly join the global highway than to sit on the sides cursing those passing by that they don't care about us.
Strangely google.com did show a logo in 2008 .. I wonder what made them feel that their audience has changed? Is it a sign that immigrants from India are becoming increasingly irrelevant or the numbers are dwindling or there is simply a unofficial policy to just ignore the brownies (please no offence and dont take it too seriously) ;)

I now applied for EAD for my wife (not because she is going to work, just go get SSN). I do plan to get SSN for her and then file amended 2008 return. I wonder if I will get stimulas package then (the one which was given in 2008)?
I amended my tax for 2007 (filed in early 2008), intially filed with my spouse's ITIN, to change my spouse's ITIN with new SSN. IRS did not send any check. They simply replied that people without ITIN are not eligbile, which I knew, and which was the reason of my amended tax filing. Looks like simply changing ITIN to SSN is not treated as a tax amendment.
If changed situation (new SSN, children etc.) allow the check, this year's tax should take care of it as per instructions on IRS website.

You should take fulltime (permanent) position or atleast maintain one permanent position which is according to your LC.
This is the trick. If you feel that it will take a while before USCIS will adjudicate your case, you can take any job or not work at all but always be ready to show that you have a job offer as per LC once USCIS ask for it.
I have friend who was interviewed and was asked for a valid offer of employment as per LC. She's able to show it. But the thing is, her PD is far from being current.

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;-(

First of all EAD is not a status - Its just a work authorization. GC is for a future job.
With EAD, you can work with your current gc employer, or do nothing, or do any other job.
The only important thing is that you must either be working in a same/similar job for any employer (using AC21) or have a valid job offer in the same/similar job classification as on the labor certification at the time of 485 adjucation. It is easy to get rfe if you are no longer working for the sponsoring employer.
At that time, you should not be actively searching for a job - You should have a job offer which shows the employer's intent to hire you on a future date.
This is correct.......once the employer revokes H1B, that is a red flag for the immigration officer. Officer may or may not ask for evidence. Be prepared to show a same or similar job offer.

Why are you jealous. Seems like he is qualified for EB-2 and applied it.
Buddy, I am in the same situation with an American company for which I am working since 2002. I applied in EB-3 (at that time per the job requirements). Company is ready to promote me but I am not accepting due to my EB-3. They decided to file labor for the future job which comes under EB-2. They filed it and waiting for approval.Once I get labor and 140, yes I will use EB-2 and take the promotion. How is this become an abuse, can you expalin? In my view if you get an offer for the future job in EB-2 category and not use that opportunity then that is called abusing yourself not the law.
What's wrong there other than making some people jealous.
Congrats on getting your green card. Your post and attitude is the exact reason why DOL has made it almost impossible to get EB2 certification especially in the software field and why people despice consultants like you and your desi employer.
You said in your post "Appiled for EB3 labor in jan 2004, even though i am qualified for EB2" dear sir its not your qualification that determines whether you get to file in eb2 or not but it is what the job requirements are that determine whether it is eb2 or eb3.
Another line from your post "After realizing that the dates will never become current for EB3, my desi employer files for EB2 labor" this and the previous line clearly show that you and your desi employer have no respect for the law. It is because of blatant abuse like this that DOL is cracking down on eb2 filings. Now thanks to people like you and your desi employer who have abused the law now even eb2 india might never become current because tons of people have already ported and spillover to eb2 is not happenning anymore like previous years. People have realized even eb2 india is never going to move beyond 2003 so "consultants" like you and desi companies have moved on to abusing eb1. Seems like you are proud of your achievement just like the L1 folks from desi companies who brag about getting green card in less than an year by abusing L1.
To all the people who think they can pull a trick like mr salawrene by filing in eb2 again hard luck there are 120000 485 applications with USCIS with eb3 and eb2 having about 60000 each, because of abuse in Eb1 no more spillover of visa numbers to eb2 india wil occur so eb2 india will not move forward, on top of it dol is cracking down on eb2 filings. eb2 might start moving backward to 2003 or 2002 and will remain stagnant like eb3 because no visa spillover is happenning.
because of desi consultants and desi employers abusing the system the whole EB community is suffering, high time we respected the law and stop this practise. for speaking the bitter reality if eb2 and eb1 abusers, consultants, desi employers want to give me a red go ahead and do it, but ask yourself have I said anything which is incorrect

Reddog,
Smart.
It should be how many non-citizen children.
But you both missed one more applicant, the spouse.
The question should be,
Are you married and if so, how many children you have who are non-citizens. We do hope most of them should be unmarried:D.
Am I smart too..
:)
Sri.
Well the smart question would simply be a multiple choice
How many derivate/dependent applications filed along with your I-485 applications?
a) 1 (just spouse)
b) 2 (spouse + kid)
c) 3 (spouse + 2 kids)
4) I should get vasectomy
Peace. :)

gc_chahiye,
Thanks for your suggestions.I checked with my Lawyer about the job title .she says job responsibilities matter in this case.Job title is for any company's internal designation it seems.
I don't know exactly what AC 21 regulations are.I just want to follow any best Lawyer's advice in this matter.
The term Technical Recruiter is very generic This job can be done by any person who doesn't have any technical background .But If a person with good technical skills will bring more value to the company.
The area which i'm focussing is basically IT Sales.Company which is offering me this Technical recruiter position is impressed with my technical back ground and hiring me.They are actually looking for some one who is very senior and having good amount of experience with Technical back ground specially ERP Packages.The role is also not confined to just recruiting but meeting the clients and bidding the tech support and new impementations for the company.
I personally see lot of career growth in this path.But unfortunately there is nothing one can do in this matter.
Thanks,
h12gc
I am little more confused now: even if we ignore the title for a moment, none of the duties you have described:
- hiring software engineers
- bidding on tech support and new implementations
- meeting clients to bring in new business
seem to be inline with that of a software engineer...
I would be uncomfortable about this, but if you believe your lawyer can prove the job duties are substantially similar to that a software engineer in case of an RFE (again going by the O*NET codes as thats what USCIS looks at) you can take a chance.
Atleast get a second opinion from another, good attorney before you decide anything. The market is in general good, and there are lots of jobs around, dont lose years of your waiting time because of one lawyers interpretation of the rules just for the sake of this position.

Hi,
I have the same problem in Rutgers, New Jersey. I spoke to someone at the governor's office. Apparently, this residency definition is a federal law. States like CA had to pass legislation in the state to override the federal law. So if one want this to change, then there is to be an amendment. The schools are following the law.
Thanks
