I am from PA. I am a June filer. My wife who is a primary applicant, got EAD for her and our son in the first week of Aug(after finger printing). I did not get my EAD so far. I had been to Philadelphia after getting INFOPASS appointment last week. Nothing happened there, just waste of time! It seems that there are no rules/ regulations in this system. Many of my friends got their EAD before FP. One of my friends got his GC without I-140 approval. The whole GC system is in big mess.

As we all know that getting a GC in US is next to impossible with dates getting retrogressed to Jan 1 2000 and no sign or indication of it getting better in near future I'm strongly thinking to apply through AINP program for Canada immigration.
I truly believe that the comments and suggestions posted on this forum are very genuine, latest and by expert and experienced people. Believing this I am expecting all pros/cons of going ahead with Canada immigration.
If anyone had done this then please share ur exp and thoughts. The asking fees by the Attorneys is too high and that doesn't includes Canadian Govt. fees. So please suggest on this.

I think we need to ask Congress for fixing the LUD mess....C'mon
LUDs mean nothing...Lets instead concentrate on IV initiatives on Home Page. Contact your local chapter for guidance.

Hi friends,
I planning to change my employer after 180days and I want go for the fulltime by using my EAD because my I-485 will take next 3 or 4 years (PD May-2007). My present H1 is still Oct 2008 (labor and I-140 cleared).
1. What are the chances for rejecting my I-485 file?
Ans:Very less unless you violated any status or any law.
2. If my I-485 file rejected after my H1 expired (EAD using) ?
Ans:You are out of status, switch to in-status, like B1.
3. How to settle out this ? Do I need to go back india?
Ans:Yes, you need to go back and come on fresh H1.
Seniors please provide me suggestions.
Overall, enjoy the stay in EAD and don't worry much about what happens at I-485.

LUD means basically nothing.
I got FP done, got EAD and got Ap by October 2007. I have 3 LUDs each on mine and my wife's 485 since 01/04/2008.I just called TSC and the IO said no change in the case.

Hello All,
I am in a very sticky situation, my labor is pending @ PBEC with priority date of Jan'2004, which is Non-RIR and filed under EB3 category, based on which I have been getting incremental extensions of H1B (I am already in my 9th year by now). At present I am in the process of changing my filing type to RIR from TR and I was hoping to change the category too from EB3 to EB2, but my employers did not support me since they cannot pay the prevailing wage. I know I can still switch jobs, provided I transfer my H1B (which is valid till Jan�2008) and the new company files my GC immediately, so my questions to fellow victims of PBEC is
� How can I retain my old priority date?,
� Does the job descriptions filed with old labor have to match with job descriptions filed in PERM?
� It will be very tough, since I have almost 12+ yrs of exp in the industry, but my present employer is taking advantage of my situation and he is paying me peanuts, just because he does not want to pay me more, they have filed the papers as EB3. So while filing labor under EB2, can I still maintain my old priority date.
Please guys/gals help me out, I am not sure what to do, since I have already spent almost 3K$ on my GC and If I will be stuck with my employer at such low salary after my labor & I140 gets approved because of the retrogression it will be disaster. So I was thinking it would be better to be stuck with employer, who at least pays me decently and if I can retain my old dates it will awesome.
Regards,
CJG

Dallas-Fort Worth Immigration Lawyer Has Just Posted the Following:
Spouses of United States citizens may enter the U.S. with a non-immigrant K-3 visa while the immigrant visa petition is pending. It is important to note that the marriage must be valid in order to qualify and all previous marriages must be legally terminated. Thus, one will include either divorce or death documents (if applicable).
To obtain a K-3 visa, the U.S. citizen will file Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative along with supporting documentation and the filing fee of $355. Once U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) receive Form I-130, USCIS will issue a receipt notice indicating that they received the petition. The U.S. citizen will thereafter file Form I-129F Petition for Alien Fianc� with USCIS and include the I-130 receipt notice, and other supporting documentation. There are no filing fees when filing Form I-129F in this second step.
If the Immigrant Petition (Form I-130) has not been decided, and Form I-129F has been approved by USCIS, the file will be sent to the National Visa Center (NVC). The NVC will process the K-3 visa petition and send the K-3 petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where the marriage took place or visa applicant's country of nationality. The K-3 visa applicant will be instructed by the U.S. Embassy or Consulate of further administrative processing.
If both Form I-129F (K-3) and Form I-130 (Immigrant Relative petition) have been approved by USCIS and both petitions were received by the NVC, the NVC will process the immigrant visa petition since there is no need to process the K-3 visa.
Please call us at (214)999-9999 for further information on K-3 visas or other immigration related questions.

It is not clear if they are going to initiate a name check again. This could be associated with when your fingerprints get invalidated. If they initiate a fresh fingerprint (for what ever reason) without refreshing the existing one, that could trigger a name check. So that could be why they have a secondary check on preadjudicated cases.

I'm a July 2007 filer going to file for my EAD for the first time. Since I'm currently on H1B, how should I answer this question
I'm applying for:
a) Permission to accept employment
b) Replacement
c) Renewal of my permission to accept employment
I think I need to go with option "c" since moving from H1B to EAD would qualify for a "c" response
Please advise.....
Thanks
The option "a" will be used, for "c" you need previous EAD. Refer to http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18737, which addresses several issues.

IV Members,
At some point of time you must have posed a question or had some issue that was pegging you. You tried to get answers from members and resolve issues. Time must have passed and you had an outcome for the issue you were worried/working. It would be nice if you post the experience what happened to the issue you were worried over the period of time. How it has been resolved or what is logical end.
For ex:
I posted a question about my worry about travel to india with out the reciept notice and finally it ended up recieving the notice 3 days before my travel. I have gone through different tensions in the process. IV forums helped me understand where I stood what actions I needed to take. I took those actions, and it resulted in a favourable outcome at the end.
This happened just because some one has posted their experience.
So it is just not posing the questions on the forums but as the time passes do update what happened to your question.
This helps many other IV members who may come across same situations. Some of the IV members do this but few others they just forgot to return back and update the members what happened to their situations later. Do care to let people who answered you know what was the result.
Admin,
if possible make this as a sticky, probably helps a lot of people.

Hi ,
I'm on H1B. Recently I joined new employer and the transfer is still in
pending status.
Among the documents required to sponsor for B2 visa, I'm supposed to
send copies of I-797 and I-94. I have old employers H1B approval notice
and I-94, but not of the new employers. I have the H1B receipt notice
related to the new employer.
Is it fine to sponsor for a B2 visa and for the visitors to attend the visa
interview in the US consulate with all the other essential documents
including new employers H1B receipt notice without the new employer H1B
approval notice.
Any of your valuable suggestions are welcome.
Thanks & Regards,
Sunkara

Hello everyone,
Please help me with your valuable suggestions. My H4 extension was applied with my husband's H1 extension through premium processing. Both were approved within 6 days. I got my courtesy copy of H4 extension but my lawyer never got the original approval notice with the new I-94. So my lawyer applied the form I-824 for a duplicate copy of my approval. But will I get a new I-94 with the duplicate copy? I was planning to travel to India next month. I do have the white I-94 that I got when I entered the country and the green I-94 that I got with last year's extension. Only the I-94 from this year's extension is missing. Can I travel with that? Will I have problems at port of entry when I return back? Will I have any problems stamping my H4 with courtesy copy?
I asked my lawyer to file I-102 for replacing the lost I-94 but he said that form is for replacing the original I-94 I got at port of entry(which I already have). So there is no need of it. Sorry the post is too long. Thanks a lot in advance.

My case was approved by BEC on July 18. My attorney says that my 140 has to be filed by July 31 to be eligible to file under July visa bulletin [by 17th August]
Is his interpretation correct?
I can not do concurrent for a few more days, until my family returns from India.
If I go with 140 now, I am afraid the 140 receipt may not arrive in time for me to file for 485.

I was employed by company A until from 2004 thru May'07 with labor and I140 approved in 2006, I was laid off from Company A in May'07 therefore I joined company B in June (transfered my H1).
In July , Company A agreed to file my I485 under future employment as all the EB catagories became current but I still work for company B (H1 with company B), now since in Jan'08 it will be past 180 days on my 485 application.
Can I file AC21 to change my employer to Company B and continue my I485 through to Company B?
Your suggestions/answers will be appreciated.
