Hi,
I have completed 6 years on my H1 and then got a 3 year extension as my 140 was approved when I applied for H1 renewal. This is all with my current company where I am working on H1 and they have applied for my GC also. I also have a valid EAD till 2010 which I am not using currently.
If I get a new job, can I transfer my H1 and still keep my GC process going on or do I have to switch to using EAD at the new job instead of H1 ?
Basically, am wondering if we can transfer H1 and that way have a backup just in case of any issues with EAD.
Thanks for your advice !

There is always a calculated risk in extending I-94. No one can predict the outcome of this process. Personally, I would not do it.

Today I found out that my RFE wasn't answered at all as opposed to being late.
Bascially, the attorney screwed me. My company wasn't happy with them and was in the process of moving all existing cases to a new firm and my RFE was supposed to be one of the last for the old firm. And apparently they didn't send it out, quoting miscommunication from my company that my case was transfered to the new firm as well.
So does 'not answering an RFE at all' change anything for my case or can I still do MTR and then appeal as suggested by the members.
And it seems like MTRs take at least a year in most cases. So is it a valid option to file a new I-140?
Appreciate your help and advise
fyi..I did not file concurrently but my I-485 was denied the same day as my I-140.

Folks,
I have a question regarding filing the I-140 application. Can I use experience gained in my current job on my I-140 application. When my lawyer filed my application he stated that the applicant needed an undergrad degree and two years of work experience. I had two years worth of work experience in my current company when my application was filed with the department of labor.
My lawyer said that I can use experience gained in my current job prior to my labor being filed. Is this correct or is he giving me the short end of the stick ? I would appreciate any help you can provide me.
Labor approved
Applying for I-140

WELCOME TO RETROGRESSION!!!!
I'm from Bangladesh and EB3. As you know the I485 was current in July and i applied along with my EAD and AP. but this month in visa bulletin i found that the date went back to 2002.
My question is: are they going to consider my application current or i stuck in the backlog. my understanding is that the visa bulletin reflects the availibility to send the application....they received my application on July 2nd, 2007.
someone please clarify the matter please.......thanks ahead

DOS tried to update the system reflecting a big jump in the visa dates for May. The system was unused to any changes lately - leave aside such large forward movements - and as a result it crashed.
DOS managed to recover the system by replacing all date fields with character fields. The rumor is that the value for all those character fields is now "C", whatever that means.
Ha ha ha.

Invite the Senators to this meeting.
Make them come since we pay Taxes. That way , they know that there is legal Immigration Community .
Invite the Heads of DMV so that they can address our driving problems
Invite SSN people local heads.
When we do this, we can pay for their expenses to join us in that meet.
I am open to it. Not only by contribution but also working.
Try to get IV members to join the State chapters first. Try to get the community to support IV first. Try to get the community make phone cals send letters first.
It is a step by step process. We have to get enough buzz and enough support from within our own community before we can call politicians or VIPs to come to our meets and greets

Yes, that's my plan, to have MA and NH state members send emails to the congressman's office to try and get appointment. This will provide good opportunity to present the material from our resources section. thanks.
Will keep you posted.

I am in H1 and filed for 485 and EAD, AP. Still have my H1B visa in my passport. Does getting EAD mean you are no more in H1? Or you really have to USE it to be out of H1.

While filling the application online for parents visa interview what would be a better answer for the following questions:
Who Will Pay For Your Trip?
What would be a better answer?
Self.
OR
Children(in U.S)
Does it even matter?
Are Any of The Following Persons in The U.S., or Do They Have U.S. Legal Permanent Residence or U.S. Citizenship? *
Mark YES or NO and indicate that person's status in the U.S. (i.e., U.S. legal permanent resident, U.S. citizen, visiting, studying, working, etc.).
Bother/Sister etc.
Would it be better to say ?
No
OR
Mention about the people(siblings of parents) that are here
Was this Application Prepared by Another Person on Your Behalf? *
(If answer is YES, then have that person complete item 40.)
Should we say
Yes
OR
No (When actually Children are filling the application.)
Please Advice
Thank you.

Yes.
if an A# is present in the I-140 receipt should that be used to fill the 485/EAD forms ?

I suspect there may be a backdoor to it
I don't think so....let me explain what happened when I moved from one state to another.
When I was in the state of Washington, they did not ask me for any document like H1 etc. This was 3 years ago. When I moved to PA (mid 2005)though, the DMV asked me for my H1 doc. The date of expiry was alright, but they had other problems.
Since I work for a consultancy firm based in NYC (and the client was in PA), they were not ready to even give me a license (since my employer was based in NY). I literally had to fight with the DMV manager to get my license. And yeah, he asked my employer to provide me a letter that said that I would be based in PA for next 3 years and what my income is (god knows what that has to do with my license)
I was fortunate that my consultancy firm was considerate and finally gave that letter to me even though the contract was initally only for 3 months. If they would not have given such a letter I would not have got a PA license and might have to go to NY to get a license from there!
But the DMV manager did explain to me that this was part of new regulations being implemented since last couple of years.
I have been through this and had to go to the DMV three times before I finally got my license.
And I endured all this while my H1 is still valid for a few years. Imagine the above if my H1 was valid for less than 1 year?
Why are we going through such a painful experience in spite of being 100% legal????

As per my understanding, extension will be given if and only if :
Either Labor is pending for more than 365 days or Labor and I-140 is approved.
If Labor is pending for more than 365 days, one year extension is approved and if Labor and I-140 is approved, three year extension is approved.
Am I right in interpreting the rule correctly?
Hello All,
I am on 7th year of my H1 and my I-140 is pending. Since my current H1 is about to expire, I need to file for my 8th year of H1 extension. Do you think there could be some problem in getting my 8th year extension since my labor is approved and I-140 is pending. The way I interpreted the extension rule is that you can only get the extension if your labor is pending for more than 1 year but in my case my labor is approved and I-140 is pending.And I cannot wait for I-140 approval since my current H1 is about to expire.
Please advise.
Thanks

Guys please do not think of this site as one from Rajiv Khanna (immiportal) or other Chat forums...this is a grassroots organization that consists of people like you and me who are devoting their time to work for the EB community causes.
Do not let their efforts go to waste due to lack of funds. Contribute.

Gurus,
Sorry.. I just received the letter received from USCIS.. Its mentioned as "NOTICE TO INTENT TO DENY(NOID)".
The reason specified in the letters:
- Section 203(b)(2)(A)
- 8 C.F.R 204.5(l)(3)(ii)(C)
........
Here is the definition from USCIS regulations (refer to 8 CFR �204.5 (k) (2)) for advanced degree equivalency: "Advanced degree means any United States academic or professional degree or a foreign equivalent degree above that of baccalaureate."
The key word here is degree, i.e., singular degree. That means - the beneficiary must have �a degree�, not a combination of degrees. Combination of degrees, therefore, is not permitted for EB-2 Advanced Degree classification.
I have written many times on this issue, please refer to my old posts for more details.
