Hello everyone,
My driver's license has come up for renewal in Feb 2009. I have 2 yrs EAD.I have send my H1 for renewal but it has not got yet approved..
My employer suggessted that I use my EAD card to get my license renewed. In Ideal case I would like to use my approved H1 to renew my license. However since its taking time for my H1 renewal can I use my EAD card to get my license renewed.
Guru's pls guide
Thanks

I don't see the gain. Although a fresh L petition has better chance of approval, you still have to get a visa approved, which may get rejected.
Given your wife's situation of EAD, you are better off applying for an extension here. They will not reject an application as long it meets all the requirements.
Thanks ! I dont know if the reasons for rejection are entirely based on merits of the petition but from experience of my coworkers around here, the employer advises a fresh petition. If I wish to go for a fresh petition how soon can I travel before my VISA expiry date ? Is there any deadline stipulated ? My VISA expires on 11/18/2008. Can I travel in Sept and submit a fresh petition for approval ?

My Father is applying for Citizenship in Nov 10. If he becomes Citizen then can I file I485 under F3(married sons and daughters of citizen parents). Category and port priority date of May 03 from my employment base I-485 to I-485 under F3?
hi there,
Unfortunately INA (immigration and naturalization act) does not allow to transfer Employment Based priority dates to Family Based immigration. So no, you can not do it.

Hi,
I have a master's degree from a top US university but my current employer applied my GC in the EB3 category. I am planning to move to a different company which is willing to apply in the EB2 category. I have an approved 1-140 with the current employer and my I-485 was sent in July/August. Here are the steps I think I should take after moving to the new company:
1) After I move to the new company, I can send AC-21 and continue my GC in the Eb3 category.
2) File a new LC. Send new I-140 in EB2 asking them to use the old PD from the approved EB3 category.
My question is
1) Will I run into any issues for my EB3 because the new I-140 is in EB2? I dont want to jeopardise my EB3 application.
2) Should I not send AC21 if I am planning to switch to EB2 category. My current employer does not revoke I140 even after I move to the new company (anyway, I am doing this after 180 days of I-485).
Any input is appreciated.

That's the most surprising part:-).
Probably they need to validate my H4(my current status in US) based on his
H1 validity.
But thank God,my woes r over now,as I got my approval today.
But the applying for SSN woes r going to begin soon.
Thanks for ur replies.

While the issues being highlighted may lean towards those being termed as illegal aliens, I wouldn't be so quick to call these organizations as exclusively illegal immigrant interest groups. However it is up to one to make their personal decision whether to attend or not, if there weren't legal immigrants and citizens amongst their midst (http://www.cnn.com/video/player/player.html?url=/video/us/2006/04/01/huntington.ny.immigration.rally.cnn) (see linked interview), no one would listen or take note, one thing is certain though, we're now in the same boat given the bill has been thrown into uncertainity :
The National Capital Immigrant Coalition – a coalition of immigrant, labor, faith, civil rights and business community groups in the metro, Washington, DC area – and allies around the nation, developed the concept of a National Day of Action. These appear as their objectives :
Congress should pass real, immigration reform that:
1) respects our values of fairness, hard work and family
2) provides a clear path to earned citizenship
3) fixes America's immigration system to make it safe, legal, and orderly
4) unites families
5) ensures workplace and civil rights protections for everyone

Those who are on h1 cannot do that as IV is not employer for H1b.
Who are on EAD and above line can do it.
Its my thought.

I know this is irrelevant in a way but see it from a different angle for one moment. There is no other forum where you can get any information about these H1 employers who are playing games using retrogression. This is the only forum where most of the people on H1 are related to some desi consulting company and can share their experiences which would help other people who are in huge pain due to the unfair practices of their existing employers.
I would recommend the administrators to create a separate area on this forum where people can share these experiences and find genuine employers.
Not in this forum I would argue. There are other places.

I finished my three years residency on H1B visa and am currently working as a chief resident in my program on h1b visa extension which is valid till June 2011. My H1b visa was cap exempt as its a not for profit hospital affiliated with the university.
The CEO of the hospital recently told me that they are very interested in retaining me in their hospital. But one month back my hospital was purchased by a for profit group though the residency program was retained by not for profit group , and hospital is now for profit.My question to you is-
1. Can my hospital file for my PERM and subsequently for GC while I am still doing chief residency on cap exempt visa and technically a part of residency program which is cap exempt?
2. Will i need a new H1b process with the hospital as it has changed from cap exempt to cap status as it is no longer non profit?
3.My prospective employment date will be June 19 2011 as till then I will be working as chief resident, so what would be the earliest date for filing the PERM and H1b application

My case is similar too, my husband filed 485 for both of us on 29th June, we both have H1b. But on June 15th one H1b transfer was filed for me (dependent in 485) which was confirmed to us on June 22nd and I joined new company on June 26th.
But the whole transfer thing is not mentioned in 485 because we were not aware at time of filling forms (june 18th).
Is this going to create problem? do we need to send update/form to USCIS about this?

It used to be required only for Mumbai Consulate. But I think Hyderabad has also started. Please check
I think it is only for Mumbai Consulate(as mentioned in VFS (http://www.vfs-usa.co.in)).
"For Mumbai consular district applicants only: Drop off your required documents three working days prior to your appointment at a VFS Application Centre in Mumbai, Pune or Ahmedabad."
No where it is mentioned that HYD consulate has started. Where did you find it?

Hello Bpositive,
I am in the same situation as you are and have been for about 2 and a half months. I got a yellow slip and still awaiting feedback from the Consulate who in turn is awaiting a response from Washington.
It depends on when you left the US and if you received your AP before your left the US.
There was a letter published on November 1, 2007 which can be found here
http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/HandLFinalRule110107.pdf)
If you received the AP before you left the US then there is no risk in returning on the AP from what I have been told but if you did not receive it before you left the US then there is a risk of you entire AOS process being cancelled and this all depends on the officer and the situation at the POE.
Unfortunately in my case I didnt receive my AP until after I left the US and am awaiting feeback from my lawyer regarding the rule in the link.
Let me know if you find any other information
as it would help me as well.
Please..request that only those with personal experience with this respond. I have to decide in the next hour or so and have lawyer opinions already.
Has anyone gone through this?
My H1 is pending 221g admin process (Pink. possibly because I have a Phd in biology) I can't wait much longer as I may risk losing my job. Can I travel on my valid AP? I am not concerned about keeping my H1 status etc. My only concern is at port of entry. Lawyers have told me it is ok, but I would like to hear from people who have done this themselves.

There may be other avenues to get AP for a longer period. EAD nothing to do with your 485 processing. Without EAD you can get AP if 485 is pending.
Please consult your attorney.
Hello,
My wife and I have a pending AOS, and have our EADs.
My priority date for EB-2 is September 2004.
I plan to go back to school in Spain - starting November 2009. The program ends in December 2010. However, my EAD expires October 2010.
Is there anything I can do to keep my GC processing on track? Can I renew my EAD while I'm in Spain?
Thank you,
Sidd.

hi smuggymba,
As your H1 extension is in process you can continue working until you get the approval notice. One you get the approval notice u will have the new I-94 with it which you can attach to the current one in passport and later point u can go for visa stamping.
Take the advise of your attorney as well

Hi Gurus,
Here is my situation. Have H1B expiring on June 2008. Planning to Renew. I-140 approved last Month. I485 applied and pending for more than 180 days. Have EAD, AP.
Now - I am planning to switch to another job for Title , Hike. Not happy with the current company.
I have the following question :
1) If I switch,what will happen to my I-485 / I-140. do I need to reapply ? . do I lost my priority date.
2) If I go to India, what will happen to My 485/140. Can I change AOS to consular processing.
Please advise.
1. Use Ac21
2. Are you going to India for a visit or long time? you need to come before ur AP expires and get a new one(If H1 is not valid)
Otherwise you can take a vacation on H1.
For Cp you have to withdraw your 485 application and refile your application.

Once again, I urge people to take discussions of individual cases to Immigration Portal.
See our posting guidelines (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/announcement.php?f=2) visible above the forum threads.
"Please note that the purpose of our forums is to discuss our campaign and agenda. We want to foster a positive, constructive, discussion about our cause. Solutions for individual cases and problems, debates on the benefits of living in different countries etc. are better addressed on forums like Immigration Portal.
Posts that denigrate members, potential members or even anti-immigrant groups are not welcome - such posts are against Immigration Voice principles."
When my paperwork was transferred from CSC to TSC I posted on Immigration Portal not IV. We need IV forums to focus on activism.
best,
Berkeleybee

Mine is 485 pending and my AP had (soft) LUD dated mid of Feb 2011.
Soft Vs Hard explained here (http:///2011/01/hard-vs-soft-lud-how-to-use-it-to-track.html)
It is really funny. I guess no amount of me explaining about soft LUD would help. People will still track them and waste their time.
