I have a feeling in my mind that i made some mistakes in the 485 application. I may be wrong also. My lawyer was so busy on June 29 and she asked me to fill out all the forms. I tried my best to make it as accurate as possible. My other concern is my lawyer applied for my I-140 on 6/17 and got the receipt date of 6/28 in the email. Now i am not sure whether my lawyer had included that e mail copy (Since we haven't got the receipt notice in the postal mail) with my 485 packet sent on the same day which had reached the USCIS on July 2.
Are they going to reject my application just in case if my lawyer had missed that I 140 receipt copy???????????? or are they going to accept the app and RFE. If anybody had faced the similar situation, please help me to deal with this.

I just received my H1B starting Oct 1st. My desi (cheap) employer first decided to not pay me till Oct 15th because I didn't have a SSN. Then after my SSN came they decided that they wanted to reduce my salary, the reason being that the company's economic situation has changed since Jan filing.
I am concerned because I am going for my visa stamping in March and the last thing I want is to be out of status! When I mentioned this to my boss his answer was -- We will give you a letter stating that you are working reduced number of hours, and we cannot afford the salary promised on I-129.
Can somebody help? What are my options? I was on H4 and moved to H1. I am really frustrated with their attitude and in this economy it is really hard to find a job.
Any help would be great.
I assume this is your fisrt job/assignment and understand your pain.
May be you are at wrong time and wrong place. Work this out patiently.
Do they ( your company) have work for you or client's assignment ??
While try to gain some real work experince working here for a while , Please try to find out another sponsor and switch.
BTW, how about your skill set ??

You aint getting any information or clarification on this buddy. Everyone says it is a gray area. I am getting gray hair trying to get clarification for this gray area :)
Something so simple cannot be clarified, this is pathetic state of our being. Cant get a head start on business or even think about doing anything out of the box. Depressing!!!

Hello Friends,
Current Situation:
-I am on my 10th years in USA and started using my EAD 1 year before
-My Employer A filed my green card labor in March 2005 and got approved (so my PD is 03/2005)
-I485 pending for more than 2 years (so I am beyond 180 days limit)
-I140 is approved.
-I have been working with them (Employer A) till Jan, 2010 (3 years on H1B and 1 year on EAD)
Now I am getting a good offer with senior role plus pay (30% more) from Employer B and I would like to take it.
1) If my Employer A continued to process my GC and confirmed that they will support till I get my GC. Do I still need to use the AC21 portability to work for the new Employer B?
2) Or should be a safer side to use the AC21?
Thanks for your help on this
Vel
Trick question. Are you testing our knowledge of law?
AC-21 can be used for job in same or similar occupation.
Also since green card is for future purposes, your employer A can still support you in terms of documentary evidence, but it will be upto the lawyer to convince the USCIS.

Hi All,
Anybody got any H1B extensions approved in the last 2 months - Please reply to this thread.
Been hearing things that H1B extensions are getting RFEd and even denied. Don't want to depend on rumors.

I have H1 approval I-797 with me (received in last year quota) and H4 approval (which was applied before applying H1). Now I have a family emergency back home. I have to travel asap. My current H4 stamp in the passport is expired. So I have to go for stamping, either it be using H1 or using H4. Since I am unemployed at present I can't use H1 for stamping. If I come back on H4, what will happen to my H1 status? Will it be still valid to accept an employment or becomes void.
Please share your thoughts...
Thanks
You status is H1 and you are accumulating out-of-status days.
If your spouse is maintaining H1 status, you can go for H4 visa stamping. You may also use AP to travel.
If you re-enter US on H4, your status will be H4. However, if you have valid EAD, you can use that for work.

Hello,
My wife is out of the country right now and planning to return in 3 weeks. She left the country with both copies (we only received 2 copies) of AP that is valid until Sept 10th 2009. Unfortunately we don't have a photocopy of the AP document and she has misplaced the two copies she took along with her. How do we approach this situation. The doc's we do have handy are:
1- Original 485 Receipt Notice
2- Original AP filing Receipt Notice
3- Copy of AP approved screen from uscic. gov
4- Original previous AP
5- AP was issued by MSC
Any advice?
Your wife may be able to get a transportation letter/returning resident visa from her US consulate. These are usually given to people who have lost their green cards while overseas, but I have heard of consulates giving them to people with lost APs. It's worth asking. Good luck.

Hello Attorney,
My family and I fortunately got the green cards this week after a long wait. But the company where I have been working since
2001 is not doing well due to cash flow issues. Note that I never changed company since I came to the US in 2001. I have not been paid salary for the last few months. I am the last employee of the company and seems like this company may go bankrupt soon.
Luckily my wife works as Independent Contractor (Not a full time employee) and I have a part time business which are supporting my family for the last few months. My business is related to finance and investments which is different from the GC approved job profile.
Can you please help me by answering following questions.
1) What are the precautions I should take to protect my green card?
2) Can I leave the present company and start my business by forming an LLC?
3) My business is online based so I can work from my birth country India for a few months. Can I visit India for a few months until my business is fully developed?
4) Since my business is different from the GC approved job profile, will it cause any difficulty during citizenship process?
5) A friend on the forum told that it may be required to work in your labor certified job (even with diff employer) for 6 months. Can I go to India for 6 or 7 months by taking leave from the same company ( i.e without leaving the company) ? I can manage with my part time business income during this time. In this case, just working for the same job profile is sufficient or do we need to show any pay stubs (or w-2) during citizenship process?
6) Can I take re-entry permit and develop my business from India for a year and come back to the US after 1 year?
Thanks for your help in advance

Yeah, I agree with you there that the actual number of successful porting may be miniscule. Plus it takes a lot of time to complete all the steps to successfully get the coveted EB2 status. And even when an EB3 person gets the EB2 status, USCIS/DOS may not release the EB3 visa originally allocated to him or they may release it after a year or so.
End result, they can just copy paste data for EB3 India. One less thing to do for the data entry operators.
i woudl think the actual number porting is miniscule...
but what i dont understand is why is USCIS hiding the data..why cant they reveal the exact number of application... and at what stage they?
Even an annual release would be very helpful...:confused:

Hi All,
Friends, I have few questions regarding EB2 category and need your help & advice.
What are the requirements to file GC under EB2 category? I know USCIS needs 4 years degree. But I am Commerce graduate (3 years) from India and with over 11 years of IT experience, am I eligible for EB2? Can I use my experience to make up for 1 year. If not, can you suggest 1 yr. online degree (acceptable to USCIS) to be eligible for EB2.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Regards,
javans.

I think I know what might have happened here. Check your I-140 petition. Check if on part 2, box "d" was checked. If yes then the officer went looking for an advanced degree (post baccalaureate) and could not find any documents and issued an RFE. It is usually customary for EB-2 to have Masters or show the job requires equivalent education / experience combo otherwise you will have to downgrade 140 to EB-3 (by checking the "e" box and amending I-140 by working with the officer, consult with your lawyer)
Hi add78,Yes,d was checked.I thought thats what needs to be checked for EB2.I do have a bachelors degree+ 5 years experience.

Can you please explain further - what you mean by "So, the person intended to cash it cannot. " Does it mean that if you make a request to track the MO thru' PO then USCIS will not be able to encash it.
The way you track money orders is , after 30 days from the date u gave them out , pull out the Money Order Sequence "Number" at the bottom of the top slip that you have. Give that in along with $5 to your local post office. they would track it for you and give a report.
CAREFUL though. USPS , when it goes to track the MO, if it has not been cashed, they will give back the value on that MO (say the face value of the MO is $500 , if un-cashed , they give u $500 ). So, the person intended to cash it cannot.
If cashed they give you the person's ID who cashed it.
So, wait for a while before you invoke the process.
