Application vs. Use of EAD or Advance Parole:
Applying for and obtaining approval of EAD or Advance Parole does not affect the 485 applicant's "nonimmigrant status" including H and L. However, once the alien starts work using an EAD or travels on Advance Parole, the alien is considered no longer in a nonimmigrant status including H and L.
I didn't know if we use AP we loose H1, any comments Seniors?
To my knowledge once you use AP or EAD we loose our H1B.

Salawrene,
Congratulations.
Don't mind a few people's complaints.
Most people including myself don't know the details of the immigration law.
That's why we need lawyers, and you followed your lawyer's suggestion to get your GC.
Congratulations, again

I was just thinking, the wastage of visa numbers we see, is that basically due to the per country quota. The rule that no country can have more than X% of GC's in a year, would mean that even though there are visa's available, they cannot be alloted due to that per country limit.

That is not true, otherwise ROW EB-3 should be current always.

I see an update on jan 24 on this bill to grant 55000 visas for advance degree holders from DV lottery. Does this mean progress? Rest of the immigration bills never make it to the sub committee.
Jan 5th Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

I am an Indian National residing in US for the past 10 years.
My labor was filed in September 2006 under Eb3. I received my EAD in 2007 and my current legal status is EAD. Since 2006, I am with the same employer.
In 2008, I got promoted to a Managerial position which requires Bachelors and
minimum 5 yrs progressive experience. I also have a Masters degree in the same field.
I want to port my application to EB2
1. Will this result in me loosing my EAD?
2. What will happen if there is a problem with the new EB2 application - will it also impact the EB3 application?
3. Is it better to change companies to do the porting?
Please advice.

it's a two step process to get the birth certificate if your birth was not registered.
1) Apply for a birth certificate at the registrar office and the request will be verified.
This process will take little more time
2) After the verification is completed, the registrar office will issue something stating that the birth was not registered
3) Submit an affidavit stating that you are born at home, with couple of witness signs and hence the birth was not registered at the time of your birth.
4) After submitting the affidavits, the registrar office will issue birth certificate and will register the birth.
Hope this will help.
Thanks,
Salauddin

good catch. Yeah that one is a bit scary. I believe they said somewhere that they were going to tighten the AC-21 requirements, and if they do so, then it will also apply retroactively (meaning if htey say salary cannot change by more than 10%, and someone invoked AC-21 to a new job with salary change of 30% that person could potentially be in trouble). I hope they dont do that (I myself have invoked AC-21 with >40% salary change!)
Just curious - Have you heard of a case being rejected just because the salary was higher than the original LC ?? (Assuming job title/description are same or similar). I think it will be almost impossible for them to reject just because is higher!! Govt. cannot dictate the upper limit of salaries (in private sector).

I would not recomen contacting Mr Savage. He does not appear to be the person that would help our cause.
He is openly anti-latino, openly calls for burning of mexican flag etc..
why do you think he would support legal immigration?
I'm not concerned about he being anti-latino but he is anti-immigrant he feels immigration is destroying the American Culture.
See below
These are the candid words of Michael Savage, the son of immigrants, whose love for America and trenchant insights into the leftist propaganda that threatens our way of life have made him a giant in talk radio. In this book, written in his muscular, electrifying style, Savage warns that our country is losing its identity, becoming a victim of political correctness, unmonitored immigration, and socialistic ideals: "When it comes to our culture, we're being told by liberals to let the illegal invaders as well as the legal newcomers redefine and reshape our culture into their image."

They ask for entire requested period. Send everything you have + my lawyer wrote a letter specifying that this client is where I will be for next 3 yrs. and contract is always extended every 6 months. (This part was not specifically mentioend anywhere.)
We also had 3 other offers from local fortune 500 co. One of them even had open ended contract with no end-date so
that may have helped
If you are working for past 3 yrs. that is a VERY sTRONG case. send all the contracts for past 3 yrs.
They want to make sure it's a genuine high-tech employment.
Zcool,
I applied for my H-1B extension and got an RFE asking for contracts and client letters for the requested period i.e., for the next 3 years.
I see that they asked for client letters from you ... but did they ask for the next 3 years? and if so, did you guys reply the RFE with a client for 3 years?
I have been working at the same client for the last 3 years, through a vendor. Mine is a small consulting company. The client has been extending the contract in 6 month increments and I could get a client letter for the next 6 months only.
Same is the case with the contract.
I could not file for 140/485 in july, 07.. so do not have the EAD safety net.
Please advise.
Thank you.

I have not been laid off and I don't have problems finding jobs; in fact my company has asked me to search for one more person with a background similar to mine. However I have been limited by the requirements of AC21. I was toying with the idea of leaving the country; but cannot sell my primary residence and might have problems obtaining a visitor visa for re-entry (to close on the house). I was seriously considering investing in some more real estate; but am holding back due to the random AC21 denials. I want to start my own business since I finally got my EAD this year - but with all the uncertainity of AC21 case approvals, I am not willing to put personal resources into a business in this country. Currently I am working on starting a free workshop for investment in my community - which will stop if my I-485 is denied in case my former employer revokes my I-140 (and yes; I did send in the letters for AC21). I have registered my dog with therapy international and volunteer my time for various causes (cabin repair, trail maintenance, public education) and donate regularly to the fire and police - all of these will take a hit if I have to leave.
I wonder what the reporter will conclude if he/she talks to immigrants who have lost jobs and have trouble finding new projects........
Anyway, let me know if I can be of any help.
A top national reporter wants to speak with someone in EB
community who may have recently lost his/her job due to current
economic situation. I think it would be best for our cause for someone
who was offered a new job possibly in the 'same or similar' area
immediately after losing their job. It would help to highlight that
the highly-skilled immigrants are in demand because of their skills
even when the economic situation is not doing well, but, there is no
reason to keep us in limbo for over a decade, merely to test our skill
level. There are better ways to test our skill level. If you or
someone you know fits this profile, kindly email your information and contact details to info at immigrationvoice.org
immediately.
The reporter will also highlight the housing angle and that we can
start new ventures that could potentially create new jobs to uplift
the economy.
This is a big opportunity as the interview from this reporter will be published in most big newspapers and on news websites. We need someone urgently today if possible.
===================
UPDATE FROM THE REPORTER
Actually, what I'm looking for is very broad -- anyone on a work permit
who is concerned about the current economic situation and job losses in
the U.S. economy.
==============
The reporter is trying to speak to immigrants waiting for their Greencards about their concerns about job security, if they have a plan B, if they've been pushed out in restructurings/layoffs and moved to a new job, etc, as they hear the layoffs this year are affecting such people, particularly in the
financial sector
====================
So I guess a lot of people on the forum will qualify. If you are good with interviews, pls contact asap.

I-485 is your application. Employer must provide receipt notices. Talk to your lawyer, he'll help you. You can call USCIS and get receipt notice.
To answer your question, I'm not that expert.
"Talk to your lawyer, he'll help you"..... not really..
My lawyer told me he will not provide receipt notice without employer's permission and employer has refused to grant permission.."
Don't know if calling USCIS and asking for a receipt notice will help if I already have an attorney authorized to represent ME through G-28...
Won't they send it to the attorney on record again?

hi Pdnov2005,
i was talking bout pdfs in the begining of this thread that talked bout some congressional documents requesting higher H1 quotas for fiscal yr 2008 and 2009
:) infact if quota is increased and duplicates eliminated, it ensures complete usage of the new quota (if any )

I have been at many occasions when the national anthem was sung. At each occasion, as soon as the song was sung, everybody in the crowd sang together out loud. So I expected the crowd in this rally to sing as well. But it was all silence. I felt really embarrassed.
Unfortunately no one knew the lyrics - this is an eye opener to all - one must lknow at the least star spangled banner if he/she wants a GC and finally become a citizen

First of all let me congratulate and thank IV for working tirelessly to bring about this huge benefit for most folks stuck in the green card mess. I have always believed in IV and its power to move mountains. However, in the midst of all this rejoicing, let's not forget a certain class of IV members who will not be able to take advantage of this recent benefit for all practical purposes. I am talking about the folks who are currently single and will not be able to file for their (future) spouse before Aug 17. It seems to me that the best thing that IV can do to bring relief to these folks is to lobby for and effect legislation to exclude dependents from the visa cap, i.e let dependents (or at least spouse) to file for I-485 even when priority dates are not current. I believe this single piece of legislation (if we can make that happen) will have a big effect on the entire community, because that will free up that many visa numbers that would otherwise have been used up, and let folks get their GCs faster (even if they are happy with their EADs and APs). Can IV focus on this front please ?
Congratulations btw to everyone who will be taking advantage of this window of opportunity.
LOL :D

How about Mexico? I saw some notes on tavle.state.gov (Mexico (http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_970.html)), which says -
"As of May 1, 2010, non-U.S. citizens with valid U.S. visas may enter Mexico with the U.S. visa, and do not have to obtain a Mexican visa. "
No visa required with GC. But, since I only had my AP, they asked me to get a Mexican visa ($36). The above rule must be new (no visas needed with non-immigrant US visas).

when my lawyer applied my 2nd I-140, he clearly asked PD to be ported so I got the PD ported but since, I already applied I-485 a few days ago, so I could not include my new I-140 with that. Now, my attorney is going to request USCIS, to update my I-485 file with the new I-140.
I am not sure if this case has anything to do with PD needs to be current.
