I have applied EAD renewal on 19th Aug..

I think TSC people are very busy approving 485 all these days :):). With the rumors around that there are no more visas available, they will start collecting money from EAD's :):)

Patience is the only word that we should rely on...let's wait.....

All the best guys..

We all saw SLUDs shortly after the day we received notice, as I metioned I got receipt on April 27tha dn last SLUD was April 30th,....sinc ethen nothing

however most people got their EADs already so they might just enjoy sitting on mine who knows sigh...

good luck and dont expect any LUDs until they actually send you something :-)

I never said it was. What I am saying is that it's off topic considering what he wants to achieve.


He will? Why?


Again, that's got nothing to do with the desire to learn Win32.


And so can using the WPF in .NET, but how does that help with learning Win32?

Sorry for going a little off topic... I just was showing him some things related to Win32, like if I showed him MFC or COM.

Anywho, Win32 is a pretty cool API. One thing I'd recommend is Visual Studio's help files, or just creating a project in visual studio where the Win32 code is written in automatically, and then studying that code.

If you're not using Visual Studio, a highly recommend you use it as a compiler. There is a scaled down free version.

Hi,
What is legally considered as "Permanent Residency approval date" - is it the approval of I485/getting greencard or is it the approval of I140. Sometimes the I140 referred to as an immigrant petition. As we know the process is once this immigrant petition (I14) is approved we apply for adjustment of status as a permanent resident thru II485 - so legally - can we consider that until I485 is not approved, our permanent residence applicaiton is pending?

If you read the back of the approval of the I-140. It says:

APPROVAL OF AN IMMIGRANT PETITION

Approval of an immigrant petition does not convey any right or status. The approval petition simply establishes a basis upon which the person you filed for can apply for an immigrant or fiance(e) visa or for adjustment of status.

Sorry Gurus, Couldn't figure out how to start a new thread. So posting here,

My spouse is on H4, Now she wants to use EAD and work.She wants to work part time, She has found a job as well, but the employer is sayng she can do parttime only for few months, after that she has to do full time or find a job somewhere else. Now if she cannot find another parttime job after few months, and has to stop working , will it affect her status?

Thankx in advance.

Once she goes from H4 to AOS(using EAD), it doesnt matter .she can work partime, FT or not work at all.

My intention is that he would join the forces to reinstate the V Visa provision. There are many permanent residents who can not bring their spouses/children here.

Time and again I hear people here and everywhere complaining about how "everyone-who-is-a-citizen" is simply out to get them and exploit them.
HR is bad mouthed. Lawyer is called a single $ whore. the list goes on.

By no means you are wrong.... what y'all say is correct to every extent of the word... but do you believe its because they are doing it so. Take a moment, think and tell me if you honestly believe that.
When was the last time garbage smelled nice... i don't see any of us complaining about that. Seriously, who else is not out to get you. let me answer that... EVERY-- FU**IN---BODY

Point is, when some law-maker, anti-immigrant, citizen john doe, his wife mary hoe come to the site, she should see the reflection of our high education and quality of thinking in the forums here. They have to feel our maturiy, charisma and elevated thinking in the posts we leave here.

Think of yourself as the really smart good lookin guy and "all these poeple" as the duette you wanna go out with. For once, we have to stop being cry winches.. and let people know who we really are.....
<h1>AWESOME and DESIRED</h1>

No don't leave me red marks... i am one of you... but who believes in us all.

...you can also consider getting married :) which will open up more options for you

... as well as closing down many other... ;)

please post your comments

Yes, it would be part of the lottery system (for company C)

Yes, there is a chance of H1 not going through.

It is as good as you applying for the H1-B for the first time.

As a statistician, can you not live with something like "There's an 80% chance that statistics is considered part of the "M" in STEM"?

(Couldn't resist. Just trying to find something humorous in our common misery.)


You are right. Since the 95% Confidence Interval for for the probability of Statistics being one of the majors in STEM is (0.4, 1.0), the lower limit of this interval is too low for me not to live with the doubt. But I'll survive...

No worries,

""08/14/2009: Will USCIS Discontinue Concurrent I-140/485 Filing Procedure, Replaced by Preregistration and Two-Tier Filing System? ""

Thanks for this info once again ! I was able to read it. I hope its reality by year end. Giving you green.

Early 2004 Priority date (EB3 India) may still be possible considering the huge movement happened last month. Who knows?? :)

bkarnik , I agree ...but ABC USA and ABC Canada are two totally seperate companies for immigration/H1/GC purposes.

When working in US --- ABC USA will have to pay US wages per H1B LCA, ABC Canada doesnt pay
When working in Canada -- ABC USA pays nothing, ABC Canada pays

Tax implications are complex :) but as far as I know, If taxes are being filed in US, Worldwide Income will have to be reported on the 1040 OR else file 1040 Non-Resident in which you can report only the US wages.

!!! Ask a lawyer and a tax advisor !!!!! better be safe than sorry .... but I believe that the scenario described is justifiable and legal

I believe that could be a problem. If your Company is paying you in Canada, but asking you to work in the US I am not sure if your H1 would be valid. Per my limited knowledge, H1 can be sponsored by an employer having a business in the US. I am sure this is an issue that is a clash between the tax laws and the immigration laws. I would request you to submit your question for the next attorney call and hopefully we get an clear answer.

It happened to me as well. I had a Labor stuck in Dallas and I continued doing a Schedule A application. I did a premium processing and mentioned that I had an approved labor from 2004 (that got approved during my Schedule A processing in 2006). The USCIS sent me an I-140 approval with the old 2004 PD.

Then I kept waiting. My lawyer was suspicious from the beginning. And yes, unfortunately the lawyer was right.
In 2008 after having seen no movement I got in touch with the Ombudsperson's office and requested review. The final result? They said it was a mistake on the part of USCIS and reset the the I-140 place to the correct PD - in my case August 2006.
And now because of the labor rule, so I lost the August 2004 PD as no I-140 was filed within 180 days of approval... The Schedule A I-140 just used the older PD...and later rescinded...
So I have no go...

But thankfully, at least I have a 2006 I-140.

In the meanwhile I've lost my job as well.

If anyone knows an editing job please get in touch!

regarding carrying older LCAs;
It might never be asked. However, the only time it is asked is when you dont have it with you.
Be prepared to carry a transparent plastic bag or so with all the documents. Its a pain but better to be careful.:(

" FOR the period you are outside the US" it doesnt have to be and doesnt need to be the same company ...heck you can probably go to timbuktu and work there for timbuktu Inc for all US cares ... your H1B visa will still be valid (provided you still have employment with ABC USA) and you can still enter on the visa along with a supporting job letter from ABC USA. you can still go to the offices of ABC USA and work there (provided they pay the prevailing wage for the time that you work in US, else they might open themselves to litigation (from your side for backwages) ).... ABC USA doesnt have to keep paying you in US dollars if you are not working for them in US, it will be like taking an un-paid leave of absense on an extended vacation to Canada.

The thing is that after you get the green card, you will need to come back to US and work in the same job and location as stated in the Labor Certification, atleast for about 6 months ( to avoid problems with citizenship application in the future) and then you can go to any other US employer of your choice

Well thats the quiestion does USCIS consider Company ABC USA and ABC Canada as the same company ??? Remember I will be paid in Canada on Canadian payroll.

People will be filing their I-485, not their EAD. EAD is something one gets after the 1-485 application has been pending for 6 months :)

You are wrong in what you are stating. It is filed together with your 485 appln

can you guys suggest how to proceed with my cases... where i am totally screwed up.
When I started to work in usa I was working for an employer in NJ after an year I got a better job offer and started to work for another employer(for whom I have been working for last 2 years).
Last Month I applied for my I140 with current employer work experience letter and co-worker letter (of my ex-employer in NJ). Now that I have an RFE for my I140 requesting me to send employer experience letter of my ex-employer. When I called up my ex-employer he was rude to me and firmly denied to provide any letter and hanged up the phone. Due to this RFE I am not able to proceed with my I485. Please let me know how to proceed...Thanking you all in advance.

Please consider asking your lawyer/attorney to send format request for Employment Verification (include job title, Duration, Salary and Skill set) by certified mail and a copy of the request be e-mail.

Permanent Resident since May 2002

Sorry i keep on asking same questions again and again. I could not find any answer for that. What should I fill in "date of application" for priviously applied I-765, it should be date from EAD when they approved it or should it be the the date on which they received my application.

Also what should I fill in the
"Please provide information concerning your eligibility status"

Please suggest.


AOS pending
