Hi
First off, I know that people responding on this forum are spending valuable time answering my questions and very much appreciate the time you spend reading and responding to my requests.
I have the following situation:
1. Currently working on H1B, renewed effective Sep 15 2009 for the next 3 years (i.e. expires 2012 Sep)
2. I-485 filed in Aug 2007, PD of Jan 2006 for EB-2 / India.
3. Received and used Advance Parole in the past year or so to re-enter US (for spouse and me)
4. Have a valid EAD card that will expire October 2010. If relevant, spouse does not work, although she has an EAD card with same validity.
5. I accepted a job offer and expect to start work on Oct 5 2009 with the new company. The new job has a very similar description as the previous and is about the same level as well but higher pay.
My questions are as follows:
1. Should I request the new company to 'transfer' my H1B? What are the benefits and drawbacks of transferring the H1B as against switching to the EAD? What is the filing requirement for the transfer in terms of deadlines (i.e. do I need to have it filed on or before or within certain number of days after Oct 5?)
2. Will I be in violation of the AC-21 requirements ? What will I need to do to continue my GC process. The new employer has agreed to support the GC process and will do what is required.
3. In all this switchover, what documentation should I be requesting from my current employer's law firm? This is a big law firm and may take a few days to respond.
I need to be on point and keep pushing with the new employer as well as with the old one to make sure my legal status is not affected in the US. As such any additional tips / suggestions you have will be great too.
I have tried to provide as much detail as possible but please do let me know if I have missed anything. Again, thank you for your responses.

Funny answer to a funny question ha ha :D
I hope you know how to search for info in Google. Just search it and do your basic research and then you can come back and ask question.
Then the answers here would make a lot more sense.

Which translates into:
30358 rolls of 36-exp
and that comes to roughly $500,000 in film and processing costs (at normal retail prices).
Whew!

Yes you can apply for EAD and AP separetly anytime
The only catch I found out recently is that when you use AP to travel back to US, this may invalidate the H visa and you will need EAD.
I am still not clear of this issue. I applied for EAD few months ago and found out this may be an issue , so have applied for AP (By e-filing) now
Using AP to travel does not invalidate the H1...AP is just a travel document, and does not determine one's status in the country. The H1 would be invalidated only if the person switches to EAD.

You are asked to assume the position of President of USA and given power to do ONE immigration reform. What will be your reform?
My attempt:
Issue Green Card to anyone who have worked legally in USA for five years and abolish Labor, I-140 and I-485 processes. :D

My Lawyer said that the Premium Processing for I-140 will be again available from 08/16/2007, he said he knows that 100%. Did someone have some information about this ??. Can this be true??
No...but that is very interesting.
if this comes true, then please share this lawyer's name on these forums so that everyone can benefit from his/her info channel into the USCIS.

Does USCIS usually says this. i assume it should say "AP approved " or something similar. Have anyone seen this message on tracking your online case status.
Thanks for any info.

It's been a while and I don't remember, what I signed - those were the times of innocence, if you could say that :). The physical copy should represent itself in no time once it is approved. I presume that is how the lawyer comes to know about it.

My situation is tricky here. I would really appreciate any inputs.
My six years validity for H-1 B will be complete in Mid Dec 2007. I filed my Labor on March 5th in Atlanta. As you know the ATLANTA center is really really slow and I am still waiting on my Labor approval decision. I thought of applying 140 through Premium Processing. Now USCIS suspended premium processing for 140s. My question is:
Whay will be my situation if my Labor gets approved and 140 is pending as of dec 2007 as the LC is filed with less than 365 days remaining on H1 validity? Will I be out of status or can I apply for 7th year extension.
Please guide me through the process and any scenarios. Thank you in advance.
It was intially hard to predict when USCIS would resume PP for I-140. But now that they have stopped taking in 485 applications, they should be in a position to estimate their work load and provide guidance soon.
Thanks,
Jayant

Just announced today is the new fujifilm S3 with its proported 12 MP sensor! It will consist of 2 "stacked" 6 MP sensors one for normal detail, one for highlights supposedly giving 4 times the dynamic range. The file output will remain 12 MP as was with the S2.
DPR has the press release: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0402/04020503fujifilms3pro.asp
In my opionin, it still does not sound like a real 12 MP, rather an enhanced 6 MP cause all they have done is extended DR by adding a second pixel at each photosite. Now lets see how DR is actaully affected, claims of 4x DR are pretty large and tough to live up too! If the previous camera had 4 stops of DR that would mean 16 stops now? Nothing I've seen ever had that wide a range!

We still in negotiation. not come to a stage where EAD has been asked for. i am wondering what else could they ask for other than EAD like do they need to provide any proof that they will sponsor my green card or do i need to file AC21 in advance.
It all depends on Company. Most of the companies they just see EAD and take you.
If that company has dedicated IMM people and IMM knowledge they might ask you for more information and they just want to make sure they don't need to support you when needed.
You know it all depends and varies form company to company.

VFS site mentions that whole of Andhra falls under HYD jurisdiction. Probably it means that applicant if he/she going for visa first time, may not take appointment at other consulates.
Also, SF Indian consulate clearly mentions that they do not provide any services to short term visitors that includes visitors....

Go to this URL on USCIS :
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/caseStatusSearchDisplay.do
and search for a currently pending or approved case. It gives an error. Or is it just me? Can someone check and verify?

Hi,
Got a 1-797 Notice of Action today in Mail for my pending I-485 and the Notice Type: WELCOME NOTICE: SECTION: Adjustment as direct beneficiary of immigrant petition.
In the details section it says" Welcome to United States"...your application for permanent residence has been approved...we will soon mail you a new Permananet Resident Card....
HOWEVER, the online status still shows "Case pending" and NO LUD update.
1. Any reason to get concerned as the online case status still show it as Pending altough I see approval in Mail Notice?
2. Should i call customer service?
3. How long typically the card in mail takes?
.

Hello,
Can someone give me a brief idea as to how long it takes for the USCIS to respond to an MTR? I think I read somewhere that they respond within 60 days. Is that accurate? My MTR was filed 2 months back & I have not yet heard back from the USCIS. It was filed at TSC.
Thanks,

I also dint receive the FP notice for my son. When I checked the USCIS help desk and also with my attorney for my son's (5 years) FP, I was told that kids under 16 years (16 years if I correctly remember) dont need FP in 485 processing.
