Can someone explain how the lawyer files I-485(Does she e-file? or mail it to USCIS?) and how we know about it? How long does it take to know you have filed it? and how do we know about it?Lawyer mail the package to USCIS. Good lawyer tell their client tracking number and then send email with case numbers and copies of receipt notices.

Thanks in advance for answering my question:
I have had an EAD from past 2 years, but I also had a valid H1B I was working for company A on H1 and my GC is filed by Company B future employment(and hence the EAD)
- Company A went down last year, so I was laid off, so my H1 lapsed.
- I switched to Company B since I have an EAD through them.
- I am on Company B's payroll currently.
- The company A folks needed help after they were shutdown, I helped and was paid for hours. (doing same and similar work) but not issued a 1099...
Question - I will need to file taxes on those hours, in terms of immigration have I done anything out of ordinary here? I don't know if USCIS and IRS connecected, or I am just being paranoid here?
Thanks!
As you are on EAD nothing wrong is done as for as USCIS is concerned. Just add that income as self employment income you should be fine. Also you can deduct those expenses you made to earn that income.

Great tip from AILA for our H1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) filers trying to beat the rush. Because you cannot submit an LCA earlier than six months prior to the beginning date of the period of intended employment (20 CFR � 655.730(b)), if you want your LCA in hand before April 1, then set your employment start date on the LCA for a date in September, and set the expiration date for a date no more than three years hence. File the I-129 with a start date of October 1, but with an expiration date that coincides with the expiration date of the LCA. You will lose a couple of days on the back end of the petition by doing this, but you will get the LCA filed and back before April 1.
Example:
LCA start date: 9/1/10
LCA end date: 8/31/13
Form I-129 start date: 10/1/10
Form I-129 end date: 8/31/13
Due to delays in receiving approved LCAs, take the proper precautions and file your LCA early to avoid any undue delays.
Although under certain circumstances USCIS has agreed to accept H-1B petitions for processing that include LCAs that have not been certified, attorneys should understand that if the LCA submitted with the H-1B petition is eventually denied, the H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) will be denied, even if a subsequent certified LCA is submitted. This is even true where the denial is due to DOL error in not being able to verify a petitioner's FEIN. However, USCIS has also indicated that if the sole reason for failing to apply for an Extension of Status or Change of Status is due to DOL delay in the certification process, USCIS may look at the totality of the circumstances in determining whether to accept the late filing.
Bottom line is that getting an approved LCA before April 1, 2010 is crucial. Pay attention to detail and get the files ready in advance is a must.

I am currently on H-1B and filed for Adjustment of Status. I filed my I-485, AP, & EAD in August 2007. I got my EAD and AP in 2007 and it expired last year as well. I did not use the AP. I am with the same employer that filed my green card application. I am continuing on H-1B and did not use EAD.
My H-1B is valid till April 2010. I have not applied for the extension of my EAD & AP. The H-1B stamp on my passport expired in August, 2007. Also, my passport is valid till October 2009. My wife is on H-4 and the visa stamp on her passport also expired in August 2007. Her H-4 is also valid till April 2010. I am planning a trip to India in the coming month.
I wanted to know the process for my travel to India at this time on H status. Should I follow the standard procedure to file for H-1B renewal stamping at Indian embassy in India. Do I need to apply for passport renewal now since I have 8 months before it expires. Is it true that now it takes 4 work days to get the visa stamp in Canada.
Your help in answering this would be really appreciated.
Thanks.

The DREAM Act could come up for a cloture vote as early as this week, but faces tough opposition from Republicans -- including a few who, like McCain, previously supported the bill.
Some will likely vote against the DREAM Act citing timing. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) plans to bring up the bill for a cloture vote as early as Wednesday, but all 42 Republican senators have said they would filibuster any bills not related to tax cuts.
As the Senate struggles to come to agreement on the tax cuts and other issues, the DREAM Act could lose its few Republican supporters. Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.), a co-sponsor of the DREAM Act, would vote against the bill if it came up this week, spokesman Mark Helmke said.
"You have to handle the spending bills, tax legislation and START first," Helmke said. "If we get those three things, he's willing to stay in and take up the DREAM Act."
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/06/mccain-shoots-down-dream-_n_792809.html
Others Republican senators oppose the bill on its substance, even those who supported previous iterations of the bill. McCain now supports increased border enforcement and argues the border should be secured before the Senate can take up immigration issues such as the DREAM Act. Buchanan, his spokeswoman, attributed McCain's change in position to the increase in drug cartel violence in Mexico near the United States border.
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) was an original sponsor of the bill in 2001. Earlier in the year, he seemed supportive of the DREAM Act when he was asked about the bill at a town hall meeting.

Hello All,
I have a certain queries regarding the transfer from L2 to H1B.
My husband is on L1 and me on L2 with my EAD still under processing. However my husband's firm wants to get his visa converted to H1 which automatically cancels my L2 status and I would have to apply for H4.
So now my query is for how long will his status of L1 be valid will it be till the start date of H1B, or the minute he files in his papers for H1B or when his H1B gets approved?
Thanking you in anticipation.

You can go to any industry financial, insurance, pharma etc but your job and duties should be similar to your current one. If your current position is *mathematician* and your new job says "consultant" it will catch the officer's attension easily. But from other threads in understood that your job description should be similar to your current ones. Please go thru some IV threads.

In my case i am a consultant, and keep on moving like 8-9 months....... dont have any permanent address.............. i am sure a lot of ppl will be in the same position as i am............. so what are you guys doing for the addresses on the 485/EAD/AP..........
AFAIK, You can file AR 11 online. Once you are done with filing AR11, it will ask you all the applications on file with USCIS. If you give your receipt numbers, it will update the address associated with those applications.
To avoid any confusion as of now, (if your 485 and 693 has different addresses) attach an addendum explaining why you were medical was done in FL, while your permanent address is out of the DC area.
Just my thoughts, talk to your lawyer and see what he will say.

According to a recent USCIS guidance an employer may not hire an H-1B worker prior to USCIS approving the H-1B petition unless the employee (i) is currently in H-1B status, or (ii) is the beneficiary of a timely filed H-1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) extension of status petition. If the employee is in another nonimmigrant status, such as F-1 (student) or L-1 (intracompany transfer), the employer must wait until USCIS approves the H-1B petition before hiring the foreign worker.
Under section 214(n) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, a worker who "was previously issued a visa or otherwise provided [H-1B] nonimmigrant status" is authorized to begin working upon the filing of an H-1B petition by his or her new employer. This provision is often referred to as H-1B portability. Congress passed the law to allow employers to hire H-1B workers without having to wait for the government to adjudicate the H-1B petitions (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html), a process that can often take several months.
The issue was raised to the USCIS Verification Division after employers received nonconfirmations from the E-Verify system when they hired H-1B workers under H-1B portability and the workers were not, at the time of hire, in H-1B status, or were not the beneficiaries of H-1B extension petitions. In the exchange, the USCIS Verification Division stated that the agency does not consider those employees to be work authorized. Please contact our office for further information.
