How can you change jobs if you have not filed for I485 and it has not been pending for >6months?
If you change jobs you will have to start green card process again.
If you stay with your current company, and if PD becomes current in summer, they can file for 1485 and then once your i485 is pending for >6 months you can try to change jobs using AC21.
Gurus step in and correct me if I am wrong.
All reliance on my opinion is at your own risk.
Good luck.

Hello There,
Thank you taking time to go through the details.
My green card application is family based and my spouse is a primary applicant. I have a EAD as of now and I recently got laid off on January 15th 2010. My H1B VISA expired on January 23rd 2010.
Issue: I recently applied for Advance parole and got rejected. Reason was given that my I-485 is administratively closed.
My laywer has suggested that I should immediately apply for H4 to save my status. I am really not sure what to do here. I am sure I will find a job in about 2 weeks but not sure if I will be able to get my H1B renewed or will be able to get a new H1B as I have already been counted towards the quota once.
I also read that it depends on the approval of I-130 but in my case I couldn't find I-130 for myself, even though there is one for my spouse which was approved in 2007.
My questions are:
1: What steps should I take to save my immigration status?
2. My EAD is not denied yet, should I start working on EAD or apply for H1B right away?
3. Can my H1B be renewed as it has already expired?
4. I have had a EAD for over a year and all of a sudden it may get canceled. Is there a way I can appeal somewhere as a mistake was made my immigration itself?
5. Have you experienced any cases similiar to mine and what were the outcomes?
Please, let me know your thoughts as your expertise can certainly help me save my career.
Thank you again for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Gursharan

I received an email from my lawyer on 26th June 2007 that they have received my approved labor certification in mail today. I got my medical examination i.e. form I-693 performed on June 23rd 2007 and received the results on June 25th 2007. I have already filed my I-485. Will it be a problem since I have got my medical test done a few days before receiving my labor certification.

Gurus,
I need your expert opinion.
While setting up an appointment through VFS for H1B stamping in Mumbai, I am asked the following question:
Are you applying for the same class of visa which is currently valid or has expired within the past 12 months?
Should I answer Yes or No? I guess the answer is Yes since I have a valid I797 H1 approval. But, I need expert opinions from you guys as well. Here is some background:
I have H1 visa stamp through my old employer "O" (with an expiry of March 2006). I changed employer "X" in Nov 2003. My H1B has also been renewed in Nov 2006 (with "X"). i.e. I have had two valid I797 H1 approval notice with "X" since Nov 2003 - one for change of employment through my current employer from Nov 2003 to Nov 2006 and then a renewal from Nov 2006 to Nov 2009 (this is currently valid). I have not been to India since July 2003.
Please advise what the answer to the questions above. Also, is this visa stamping considered a renewal since my old visa stamp is through my old employer?
Thanks.

Hi All,
Joined California based consulting company in mid 2006, got project in Maryland(MD). Worked in Maryland but CA company ran payroll on CA address. I have LCA for Maryland. End of year,2006 filed tax filing with CA state.
Project went till February,2008 they are running my pay stubs,W2 with CA address. I filed CA tax returns for year 2007 but stayed in Maryland.
Now my questions is I�m present in Maryland(LCA) but pay stubs,W2 are showing CA address. In demographic information form(g-325) which I address I need to use. Should I go with physical address(Maryland) or W2 address(CA).
I have no idea how to go about this, can you please advice how to present my case.
Thanks,
Sampath.
In G325, you should specify the address where you lived. On the other hand, though your W2 says CA address, you should have filed taxes with Maryland and filed taxes with CA as non-resident.

There was a report on Mathew Oh's site that
some people travelled in 2008 got a messed up I-94
forms( printing bug). So whoever travelled in 2008
may want to have a very good look at their I-94 and
correct it if needed.
suresh
Heard that too!!
http://www.immigration-law.com/
AILA has reported that sometime early 2008, U.S. Customs and Border Protection received approximately one million I-94 Arrival-Departure cards that were misprinted. Correct and valid I-94 should have 11 digits of I-94 numbers. If your I-94 shows only 9 didits or 10 digits or less than 11 digits, your I-94 card is one of these million's defective cards. The agency is recalling such defective I-94 cards for replacement I-94. Reportedly these defective I-94 cards were issued at the Calgary Airport in Canada and potentially other airports as well. Those who have such defective I-94 should contact Deferred Inspection posts or any Port of Entry for issuance of replacement I-94. Defective I-94 can create a number of problems down the road unless they obtain replacement I-94.

Hi
I lost my job in January and since I was not able to get a new project. So, returned back to India in May'09. My AP was valid till 21-July-2009. I did not file for extension while in US.
Now, I am getting a job in US and the employer is asking if I could join immdiately. Please let me know:
1. If there is any option for me to renew my AP from India?
2. Any other options, since my H1B got expired (6 years) in May'09.
Note: My EAD is valid till June 2010.
Thanks for your help.
Try H1 extension through premium processing.

Atty Said ,It is fine to write 6/30/2010;The LCA can be for a longer period of time than that which is requested in the I-129 petition � it just can never be for a shorter period of time.
Thanks in Advance.

Most of these were shot using the new 75-300 DO that Bob let me test out. (Thanks again Bob!) I'm impressed with the lens. I may be adding it to the arsenal as a good travel lens.
Anyways, here are my pics of our gracious model Julie:

Hello,
I think there is no such way to maintain H4 status legally if you shift on to EAD.
The only possible ways in your case if you shift to EAD is
i) Change the status of your wife to F1(STUDENT VISA) so that she can study or
ii) If she finds any sponsor go for H1(so that she can work).
