Deepadandamudi,
Because you are not currently invalid non-immigrant status, you are not entitled to a change of status to H-1. But, once an H-1 petition is approved on your behalf, you can leave the US, obtain an H-1 visa stamp in your passport and then return to the US using that visa. Unless your employer is exempt from the H-1 cap, the earliest you could do this would be Oct. 2010.
As long as you remain legally married you are entitled to the EAD, and you can maintain both documents. However, if you work for another employer using your EAD you will violate your H-1 status.

Hi,
My wife is currently on H1 (valid until Oct 2008). We just had a baby and I am thinking of transfering her to h4 (COS) for about 7-8 months. Once she feels comfortable she would like to start working again. In this case we would need h4 to h1b COS again.
Ques 1: Will h4-to-h1 transfer (while the h1 visa is still valid) be counted against a fresh quota or will this be just a COS application.
Ques 2: This is her first H1B which was valid for 3 years ( started in Oct 2005 - Oct 2008). Her company is about to file for renewal (for another 3 years - then her H1B maybe valid until Oct 2011). If she does COS to H4 now (June 2008) and if she plans to COS to H1 next year (Lets say March 2009), then will her new H1 application still be considered against the H1B cap ? The reason I ask is cos her H1B is currently valid until Oct 2008 and her company hasnt applied for renewal yet.
Ques 3: How much time does it takes to get the COS for h1-h4 and h4-h1 ?
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks in advance...

123,
Yes. U have to file a G28 for ur spouse. I am in a similar situ and am in the process of doing so myself.
As for the actual porting, did u do an H-1 transfer or did u start at ur new company using ur EAD? If u did transfer over ur H-1 did u wait until u got the actual USCIS receipt to start work?
Does anyone know what what legal expenses one might ...once form G-28 is filed for a new lawyer to represent an applicant (I-140 has been approved and I-485 was filed more than 180 days ago)??
Hi All,
I have used AC21 to switch employers. I also changed attorney using G28.
Do I need to file G28 for my spouse as well for the new attorney?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Currently my wife is on H4
I'm planning to file H1 for my wife (through another employer on April 1st, 2009). Regardless of the situation (H1B Cap lottery process or general process) if my wife's H1B petition is accepted, processed and approved (generally betwen April 15th 2009 and May 31st 2009), she will get work permit (with start date of Oct 1st, 2009) by May or mid June, 2009.
My company is also planning to file for my H1 Extension (along with H4 Extension) in April (cannot be filed it seems due to other cases) So, in this scenario if my H1 extension (along with my wife's H4 extension) is filed after April 1st 2009, then we will have an overlap situation (as USCIS will be receiving two petitions (one for H1 and one for H4) for my wife) in the same timeframe. How will USCIS deal with these scenarios?
As long as her H4 is approved before her H1 (if she gets through lottery and approval process), there won't be a problem (as H1 will be replacing her H4 to my understanding).
But if her H4 is approved after her H1B approval, then there is a risk that her H1B will be cancelled because of H4 approval.
Please let me know solution to this problem. Thanks in Advance

Generally attorneys charge a retainer fee. What that means is they are willing to represent you regarding any issues with a case. Some services are covered with retainer fee and they may charge additional fee based on any extra work. For Example AC21 Retainer fee is around 750/- where they submit a G28. Then for any RFE they generally charge in the range of 250$.

I filed my I-102 to receive an I-94, ill update this when I hear back from them.
When I receive the receipt, could I use that for the RFE? I don't think i'll have my I-94 to give to them in the 80 days I have left?
Thanks, bump.

Both my husband and I have been using our AP for traveling for the last few years and he uses his EAD for his job. So trying to say that we don't use our H visas but his employers renew them anyway when its time to renew.
Our H visas are about to expire this week and the lawyers sent in the extension paperwork to INS in December. Somehow we never really followed up and recently realized that somehow my husband's H1 application either never reached there or got misplaced since they only sent my H4 receipt even though both were fedexed in the same envelope. His employers are going to file again.
Now we are planning to travel next month. So here are my questions:
1. Can we travel with our applications pending?
2. If INS considers our applications abandoned if we travel, does it make a difference, especially because we don't use our H status for either work or travel?
3. The lawyers are suggesting expedited/premium processing for my husband. How long does it tae these days (Vermont center) and can my H4 be filed along too even though one is pending since December (and I think it will remain pending forever because it has no corresponding H1 so how will they approve the H4)?
Thanks!

When i heard that little girls question (recorded version in NPR news this morning) and michelle's response of "well, i guess your mom should have 'proper' documents" sounds very interesting. Does she imply that she is not happy to face that question or does she say in a subtle manner that illegals should not be here ?
One more thing to note is that in Maryland, schools "do not" check legal status of children's parents during school admissions.but isn't that atleast an utility bill or rental contract is required as proof of residence? then in that case, how the systems are working here ?
On the other hand, one of my close friend ( 11th year in this country with H1B extension in pending) can not get a driver license despite the fact he is a tax payer, his status is absolutely legal, bought a home few years back, working for a real company, but just can not get his driver's license in Missouri.
What a shame?
In an extraordinary exchange at an event that is usually just a photo op, First Lady Michelle Obama fielded a question from a second grader that really reminds us of the fact that the millions of people in the US working without status today are real people with real families. While the antis choose to dehumanize these folks by portraying them as criminals and parasites, this little girl reminds us that we're talking about people who are faced with terrible choices in life - living in utter poverty in an unstable homeland or living in the shadows in a wealthy...

ATTORNEY GENERAL HOLDER RESTORES DUE PROCESS FOR IMMIGRANTS INJURED BY INEFFECTIVE REPRESENTATION:
AILA praises decision by Attorney General to withdraw Matter of Compean.
WASHINGTON, DC*� The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) welcomes the restoration of due process in the Immigration Court system. Attorney General Eric Holder today withdrew the decision issued by former Attorney General Mukasey on the last day of the Bush Administration, which had eviscerated the right to effective representation in Immigration Court proceedings. Attorney General Holder had stated during his confirmation process that he would review the Mukasey decision and that he disagreed with its reasoning. AILA is grateful for this restoration of a basic constitutional process�Due Process, in the immigration court system.
AILA commends Attorney General Holder for living up to his word, and for his clarity of understanding of not only the constitutional principle of due process, but also for the boldness with which he acted today. �The restoration of the prior standard for claiming ineffective representation in immigration court proceedings is a welcome sign that the Obama administration understands that the rights that apply to the least of us, apply to all of us,� said Charles H. Kuck, president of AILA. �By ensuring that immigrants seeking relief from the harsh consequences of deportation are assured that they will not be punished by the ineffective actions of their counsel, Attorney General Holder has reset the standard that the Constitution ensures. Today�s action, along with the other positive signs from the Administration signal that a restoration of our most sacred principles of justice has begun.�
###The American Immigration Lawyers Association is the national association of immigration lawyers established to promote justice, advocate for fair and reasonable immigration law and policy, advance the quality of immigration and nationality law and practice, and enhance the professional development of its members.

LC Sub/EB2 with PD June 2001 filed on July 27 with RD of Sept 8 got approved y'day. 140 filed on July 5th was approved on jan. no RFE, all were smooth.
I was afraid because of my last years on L1B and filed H1b though this year quota and not sure if i'm lucky to have a number lottery. This gave me major relaxation.
Best of luck you all.
Had 1 Soft LUD on Jan 31 on 485 application.
USCIS is doing a great job thank to IV to make these possible.
NJoy the USCIS broken system of LC SUB buddy.
We (Non-LC-SUB) are not so lucky and are stuck for more than 8 years in it and still no hope.
Nothing against you -- its just that you need to be lucky to take the right decision otherwise you will be punished like many of us.

That applies for you primary I-485 applicant. For derrivative applicant your spouse, she can use EAD for any job description. It need not match her job description.
Me and my spouse both work on H1B and I am applying for I-485 along with EAD/AP for both me and my spouse. My question is since my spouse is already in H1B with certain job title which was mentioned in one of the documents that was filled with i-485, when spouse uses EAD does she need to be looking for similiar jobs only?. Please clarify. Thanks in advance.

I just received a NOID for my 485(No LUD on the online status, received direct mail) saying that my underlying 140 is withdrawn and AC21 not filed. I have filed for AC21 last june (yes June 2009) along with my RFE (asking for G325a, Medical, Birth Certificate and 10th marksheet - this was during the Pre-adjudication time). My 140 was withdrawn by my employer as I had changed jobs under AC21 provisions(left employer in Jan 2009, filed AC21 in June 2009 and 140 withdrawn Dec 2009). Guess I will send the entire paper work again. I am EB3 India with Feb 2004 PD and I am no where near being current so I am trying to figure out if it is just me or is this the new scam that USCIS found to harass us!!!
PS: My friend who is from the same employer, similar case (Nov 2003, EB3 with AC21 filed) also got a NOID. He responded to it yesterday. Guys, post here if you also received the same.

Congress.org - News : Why Bill Gates cares about immigration (http://www.congress.org/news/2010/05/24/why_bill_gates_cares_about_immigration)
Why Bill Gates cares about immigration
Foreign workers have a stake in fight to change laws.
Activists on both sides of the immigration debate tend to focus on the millions of illegal immigrants whose fate rests on whether Congress passed a law.
But foreigners here legally also have a stake in this fight.
The U.S. issues temporary worker visas, called H-1B after their official classification, to thousands of non-residents each year. Often, they hold college degrees and have technical skills.
Microsoft and other technology companies hire many workers this way. They often have to prove they can't hire skilled U.S. citizens to fill those jobs first.
Bill Gates wrote in the Washington Post several years back that there is an employment gap that H-1B visas help fill:
This issue has reached a crisis point. Computer science employment is growing by nearly 100,000 jobs annually. But at the same time studies show that there is a dramatic decline in the number of students graduating with computer science degrees.
The United States provides 65,000 temporary H-1B visas each year to make up this shortfall -- not nearly enough to fill open technical positions.
H-1B workers, who have united under grassroots groups like Immigration Voice , want more than just an increase in visas. They want the government to streamline the rules.
Currently, the workers have to apply for green cards through their employers, often a lengthy and cumbersome process. They can't switch jobs easily and sometimes have to reapply for a visa even if they move jobs within the same company. They have to leave the country every few years before they can reapply for a visa.
The workers can also apply for a spouse to come to the U.S., but their partners are not allowed to work under the H-4 status granted to them. The activists argue that those individuals represent a skilled base of workers who could contribute to the U.S. economy and help pay for household expenses.
Powerful corporations back the H-1 B workers in their demands, since it would make it easier for them to hire skilled workers. But groups like Numbers USA argue that those companies shouldn't hire non-residents at a time when many Americans are jobless.

Hi:
I have H1b renewed on the basis of pending AOS application (EB3 june04) till 2012 and also ead/ap based on my spouse's AOS application. I am going to India on a vacation soon for a month or two. Recently I have heard many horror stories that even stamped H1B is getting rejected in POE. My question is that if something like that happen to me at the POE can I invoke my unused EAD/AP and request entry based on that? The reason I don't want to simply go back is because I have a house here in USA and a mortgage that I continue to be paying to keep the house.
Thanks
