I believe my situation is a lot similar to man-woman-and-gc except maybe that I am single. This is what I have achieved so far after sticking to Company A for 4.5 years (this one was pretty big in size; so didn't have to worry about any paperwork):
1) I-140 approved in August 2008 (total of 198 days till date i.e. March 5th 2009)
2) I-485 pending since July 2007 (USCIS receipt date of September 29 2007)
3) EAD valid till October 2010
4) H1-B valid till October 2010
5) PD: Feb 2007
However as a preemptive measure against any potential layoff from company A, I have started looking around. I am preparing a checklist of things that I have to inform the other companies (say company B) so that the transition is smooth. The 2 main things I can think of to talk about with any potential employer are:
1) I DEFINITELY want to maintain my H1-B; so they will have to transfer it. I will be pushing this to make sure I have the flexibility to get a dependent at any time
2) They will have to help me MAINTAIN my GC process. For example any minor changes in the position requirements to show that the job is similar or same. Thats one reason I am primarily looking at similar work profiles
I would GREATLY appreciate if someone from this thread can point me to any location or list out the things that I should be extremely careful about or notify to both my previous employer and the future employer to avoid any future pains in my GC process. A few things that I remember are as follows, but please provide more information that may be missed out here:
1) Do I have to ask Company B to apply for anything relating to my GC? I want to make sure that they know and agree to all costs associated with the paperwork? Dont want to end up paying from my pocket as I have heard in a few cases before
2) I believe since my I-140 is approved for more than 180 days or actually my I-485 being filed for more than 180 days, I am allowed to move, correct?
3) Since my I-140 is approved and I have an EAD, can USCIS/Company A cause it to be revoked? OR it doesn't apply to my case?
4) Do I need to ask Company A to maintain anything? Or just keeping good relations with them is enough :)
Thanks a lot to everyone in advance. Please let me know at your earliest convenience as you never know when opportunities come knocking at your door. Its better to be prepared ;)

My received date is Aug 15, 2007.
I looked at the new I485 instructions and the fee now is $985.00.
So i think I payed under the old structure. I am going to include the fee for both of them.
Thanks for your help!

I meant before I am out of status.
Also, if there are no paystubs for that period, are there any implications in regards to GC processing or any other way ?
Thanks a bunch.
OzIn Some Cases USCIS may ask paystubs before approving the H1(So be careful with company A..you need them until you get the approval notice). In case of GC, couple of months will not effect the process.

I guess most July filers gave their FP in Oct 2007 so they are due for FP in Jan / Feb 2009. Will they have to fill another form then with $80 biometric fees or will it be free?

Here are the answers.
Hi Everyone
I am filling out my i-485 and I had a couple of questions.
A) What is the Expires On field in Part 1 referring to (right under the I-94#)?
Is it the actual expiry of my Visa (as printed on the Visa) or the date written on my I-94?
It should be the expity date on I94 form. If the current I94 form is expired / your visa(like H) is renewed you should get I94 attached with it with expiry date.
B) In part 3 it asks which consulate the Visa was issued. I got it at the American embassy in Oslo. I assume this is what they want to know. Could anyone reassure me?
Yes, it is the consulate where you got the visa stamp with which you entered USA.
C) In part 3b I list my wife who is an American. I assume that I should leave her A# blank. Is this correct? I also kinda think I read somewhere that even though it says middle initial (also in 3b) you should actually list the entire middle name? Is there any truth to this?
I think you can leave A# blank for your wife (but plz check with your lawer / others). Also I think you should write your name same as in your passport/other docs.
Thanks a lot. Hope someone can help me.

i know the character as being chinese (but it's probably definately a japanese one as well). and it means to "paint/draw" so it has huge relevance to kirupa.com. as far as the stamp goes - it could be a little more interesting. it's kind of too white and plain-jane. (and what stamp costs $0.00?) the text is a little blurry as well

If you have been in the US for more than 1 year, you are a resident of the US and not any particular state in India. You are free to go to any Consulate in India. Even though I was previously a resident of AP, I have been able to get successful stamping in New Delhi.

I joined a new employer in May and also had applied for H1B transfer at that time. Now I have a very good offer from another firm but my first H1B transfer is still pending. The new offer is much more rewarding financially. Is it possible to apply for H1 B transfer to the new employer without jeopardizing my H1B status. Please note that I got laid off in April and I was in a hurry to get the new job then, it was also about just over a month when I applied for my H1B transfer since losing that job so I am kind of nervous about the results from USCIS.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions, friends!

Folks,
I am on EB3 with 140 approved. My PD is Dec 2002. My company is ok to give me a promotion and re-apply on EB2. I have roughly 8 years of experience as a software engineer. According to my company's lawyer I may still have a problem because my university education is not in computers. I have 3 years degree in mathematics (BSc) and 2 years in business (MBA). I also have 2 years diploma in computers.
Anybody has any experience with such a case? Any suggestions or ideas?
What is the risk if I decide to take a chance ?
Thanks a lot..

I posted this question on another thread but its on page 38-39, so thought I might post as a new thread so that I can get some answer to my concerns...
I renewed my EAD thru e-filing. Everything was ok but the address to send the Confirmation Receipt is TSC. My initial I-485 is at NSC. My address did not change anytime from the time I applied I-485.
I entered the correct info in question 11..which was:
Have you ever before applied for employment auth. form USCIS?
X Yes(if yes, continue below)
I checked yes
which USCIS office?
My answer:
LINCOLN, NE date: 08/14/2007
Should I be worried about this or can I just feel its okay?
Is this something okay?
Please let me know....Thanks.

Is this NEW employer or same employer .
If NEW employer ,then u can apply for new H1B petition but cannot ask for extension of stay .
Extension of stay is for someone who is already in USA on H1B status .

Another amazing day is about to dawn on us :)
I should clarify 2 items on the poll:
a) I have compressed 3 mini polls in one to get max info. So percentages wont make sense.
b) The post jan 15th 2005 is to know how many approvals did not have PD current. I see 4 people voting for it. I am not polling who is waiting with post jan 15 2005 PD.

Anybody who had an I94 issued only till the validity of the visa and not until the I-797? At the POE the guy simply wouldn't understand when I tried to explain to him that I have an extension (797) valid from 4/10 t0 4/11. He gave me an I94 only until 4/10. I read that people go for deffered inspection and get it corrected. Anybody who did that in a similar situation active in IV now? Any suggestions on how to proceed? do you go to the nearest international airport or an off-airport location?

service requests taking up to 60 days now and processing times 60 days behind published figures.
About 45 days ago I raised a service because my receipt date was more than 60 days older than the Nebraska service center processing date. At 30 days after raising the service request I called and asked what's happening, they said wait until 45 days, at 45 days I called and asked what's happening, they said wait until 60 days.
The IO told me that they are way behind with the service requests, and it is taking 45 to 60 days to answer. Indeed they are hardly able to answer service requests.
I also asked her to hazard a guess about when my case (receipt date 4 May 2007 current with VB) might get adjudicated, she said by 30 April - they have a target to clear older petitions by 30 April. She said that they are about 60 days behind their published processing dates.
My reasoning for this -- potentially this is because of EB3 moving forward in the visa bulletin and 180 day name check rule -- it effectively moves the processing dates backwards since they are not pre-adjudicating, but they didn't want to move the reported processing times back.
She was also able to tell me that my name check was passed and confirmed that receipt date is what counts not notice date (unlike IO I previously spoke with). Something I knew but wanted to hear from them too.
So summary:
Service requests -- may take 60+ days to answer (maybe they'll say 90 days when I call at 60 days).
Real processing times are about 60+ days behind published (at least for Nebraska).
Of course since you can raise a service request when receipt date is > 60 days behind processing date, they are encouraging raising of service requests which they are now swamped with.

I am working on EAD, if it doesnt come in time any ideas about the FAX # which you need to send your request? I have already opened an expedite request for my EAD by calling USCIS customer service, I just need the fax # and the cover letter format. I heard that even if you take an info pass appointment, they dont issue an interim EAD , is that correct?
I don't know that of NSC, but for TSC the fax # for expediting EAD is 214.962.2632
