Hi!
I was wondering what are the benefits of EAD to primary(H1B) applicant before 180 days, i understand that AC21 & it's benefits can be invoked after 180 days from receipt date.
But is there any benefit of having EAD if 180 days from 485 receipt date are not over ?

I signed up with a new Attorney for filing my 485. I sent my documents in the last week of July and until I sent my documents out, she was communicating well saying she will make sure everything is done in time ...... and assured me that her clients are her strength .....
She has not completed the paperwork till now and she closed down all communication channels with me.
On Friday the paralegal called me and told me papers are getting ready soon.
I am confused and don't know how to deal with this situation - I figure out that it is too late to trust any lawyer now.
Though there is no point in submitting on July 2nd anymore, I am just wondering what must be the next course of action?
I am sure they will drag this through end of next week because they seem to cater to corporate clients rather than personal clients and are very unresponsive.
In general - what are folks doing, especially those who did not file yet? Are all your packets with lawyer, ready to file and send?
Please advice

Hi,
I have my I140 approved couple of years ago and now our company is being acquired by another firm. As a result I may lose my job. I am on 5th year of H1 and have I140 copy.
I got an offer with a project from a top consulting firm who is willing to transfer my H1 and also carry forward GC.
However I am concerned, as that consulting firm has the history of cancelling the H1 once they could not find any new projects after the current project. But in current market scenario, I could find any other opportunity and it may be necessary to join that firm.
So lets say after one/two years, if I lose my job with that firm and want to carry forward my H1/GC with other company, will it be possible?
What should I ask the firm now (terms and conditions, before start working with them) to make my self in safe position later on?
Thanks for your advice.

Thank you uma001 for your response. My H1-B is valid until Nov 2010. As per your advice, I need get things started. Its so frustrating - job, employer, gc, being away from kids.
Since your spouse is working, You can look for consulting position in east coast ,get the project and file for H1 ,file for green card simultaneosuly assuming your 5th year completes by November 2010 (not 6th year, you mentioned H1 valid until November 2010). You still have 6 full months time.

Hello friends,
wanted to see the timeline of EAD renewals currently..I have a EAD renewal receipt notice date of June 18th......was wondering how many days is TX taking to approve the notice....
Did aanyone around June 15 -June 20th get any approval yet?
My wife's EAD renewal receipt notice date is June 19th - close to yours. Also at TX.
Lets keep each other informed on any developments.
As per USCIS website, the processing time at TX service center is 3 months for EAD.
I hope its sooner!

Hi,
I am trying to renew my EAD/AP myself and wanted to check if I will be getting the EAD card and AP documents by mail to my address.
I am avoiding the lawyer, as he's charging unreasonable amount.
Question:
When self-filing, would I be getting the EAD/AP documents at my home address???
Thanks.

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The Barack Obama Administration recently announced that border guards at United States Ports of Entry (POE) will begin screening aliens arriving from certain countries based on specific information about threats to the USA. The immigration attorneys at Los Angeles' Fong & Chun immigration law firm are advocates for national security balanced against sensible protections for civil rights. We hope this change will reduce the number of unwarranted, unreasonable, and (usually) unfriendly challenges to certain arriving visitors.
Since the New York terrorist attack in September 2001, the USA has maintained a list of approximately fourteen countries (the so-called "group of fourteen") which are considered to encourage state-sponsored terrorism, or which are believed to provide assistance to terrorists. The US would not even officially name the specific countries, or confirm the exact number of countries, on the list. All citizens of one of these countries -- of any gender, any age, any social class, any educational level, for any reason -- would be subjected to additional interrogation by US Border Guards.
The newly-announced change sets up a system which uses intelligence information and threat assessment -- about specific persons, specific targets, and specific descriptions, to identify passengers who might have a link to terrorism. Quite properly, those persons would be subjected to additional scrutiny. Others who do not meet the more reasoned threat profiles would be allowed to enter the USA in the way of other visitors.
For example: most people in the know would say that the Islamic Republic of Iran was part of the group of fourteen. All citizens from Iran -- absolutely all -- would be pulled aside and interrogated at POEs. Under the new system, if the US has specific information about a 26-year old male Iranian student, or an Iranian woman with a certain name, or even someone with a partial passport number, then persons meeting those descriptions will be pulled aside. This allows border guards to focus their efforts on persons about whom the USA has specific threat-related information. --jcf

Hi,
My wife is stuck in Bangalore right now, as she was give a 221(g) pink slip on the 16th of Jan, 08. She's actually at school, with about 7-8 months left for graduation. She's getting a Phd in Molecular Biology. Spring semester has already begun, and she's missing a lot of research, and teaching.
When is a good time to contact the consulate? Many 221(g) cases even after her interview date have been cleared. I wonder what the hold up is.
Also, can you please elaborate on the PIMS and Security Clearance issue?

Hi Halfdog
I think the intent of the original work (http://vector.tutsplus.com/articles/theory/six-things-i-think-about-when-im-mutating-a-rabbit/) is to educate\inspire others. It is a tutorial. I followed the process the author explains and came up with the idea. I felt is could be better used for T-shirt.
It is a new expression of the underlying idea of the original work, rather than a copying of the work itself.
This is by no means plagiarism as you are accusing.
If the moderators feel that it is the case then it is ok to remove my entry from the competition.

that makes no sense. backlog and being current mean exact opposite things.
the meaning of backlog is to indicate that there AREN'T enough visas available to make a category current. being current means there ARE enough visas available for your category.
so in essence, someone who is current isnt considered back-logged or vice-versa.
where did you hear such nonsense?
I heard that only applicants who are current are considered as backlogged - is this true?
Applicants who are not current - which statistical group do they belong to?

I believe that it's the date of last physical entry into the U.S.
I'm in a similar situation and my lawyer filled that.
Dear fellow IV members,
I was just referring to my first application for EAD filed by my lawyer (july filer)
For Q#12 - Date of last entry into the US - my lawyer had entered (05/10/2007) - the H1-B approval date in date of last entry in to US - is this because of the new I-94 attached to H1-B approval notice?
But the I-94 in the passport shows my actual physical entry into US after my last visit outside the country - 08/10/2006.
I have not traveled outside the country after renewing my H1-B.
Which date did you guys put - the actual date of physical entry or the I-94 start date after renewal of H1-B?
Thank you!!!

first of all EAD is not a status just a work authorization.
If you do not get H1 transferred before you lose your job you automatically fall on to AOS pending status and I-485 keeps you legal.
If you find an employer later to sponsor H1 ypu just file for H1 transfer and can start work using EAd and the day the H1 approval comes you move to H1. There is no need to move to H4 in the interim.
You dont have to inform USCIS about using EAD to work. The I-9 that you file with employer takes care of that.
If you have not completed 6 years on H1 you will not be subjected to cap

do you really need to worry about this? Here are your options...
1. Let your children keep Indian citizenship... Don't report about your Canadian citizenship to Indian authorities... Travel separately to India.. Don't take your kids with you... might be call your parents and ask them to take your kids... I don't think it would be a problem while coming back....and I don't think Indian authorities will find it....
2. Get Canadian citizenship for your kids and take OCI card... They can always get back their Indian citizenship later

I think my employer is not willing to sponsor the process due to some reasons.
Is there any other way of processing the Green card.Can i initiate it myself along with a lawyer
The only way you can make use of the fast track option available for L-1A visas is through your L employer. There is no other way.
One other option is to get a H-1b through a different employer who is also willing to sponsor a GC.
A sleazy option is to find one of those green card shops who will sponsor your GC for future employment in exchange for a fee. You can continue with your current L employer and your GC will continue through Mr Sleaze. Obviously this is abusing the system, but you would be surprised to know how many are doing it.
Note that both these options are not fast track. You will have to go through the full process and wait time.

I have a question regarding my spouse who is on H4 visa.One of the company did H1b processing through "CONSULAR PROCESSING". Her H1B is approved now.
1) She is ready to work from Oct 1st as she got some project.Her employer said that they have to apply for amendment(COS) to get I94. Is this right?
The company either has to file a COS or she needs to leave the US and re-enter in H-1B status.
2) How many weeks will it take under premium processing to get new I94
15 calendar days for CIS to make a decision
3) Do they have to apply only after Oct 1.
No. Since she is already counted towards the cap, they can apply now but the start date will be 10/1 or later.
4) Are there any chances of getting rejected at this stage.
There's always a chance of a denial, but the risk is low if she is maintaining H-4 status when the COS is filed.
