Sorry folks, the question may have been asked before.
Does I-140 have to be approved before using AC21? In my case, I140 has been pending for 1 year now, but got EAD recently.
If I use AC21 to move to a new job in 6 months, can employer pull out the I-140 ?
Any workarounds?
Please refer to answer provided by logiclife on this thread. Thanks Logiclife

Hi,
I just found out that my employer did not update the work location on my LCA. I have been working in new jersey for over 4 years now. I have my primary address as Indiana and my company is registered in Illinois. I got payroll on Illinois for 2 years and now NJ for 1 year.
How can i correct this? Is it too bad a problem already?

I have a approved H1b from company A. Company A also shared a copy of approval. I was never counted under H1b cap before this approval. If I now decide not to join company A and assuming company A will not cancel H1b, can I use this H1b to join another company B later using H1b transfer�???? I am presently on cap except H1b and need a cap subject H1b in order to move to any private firm. So approval from company A matters a lot to me.
Has anyone done this�????
Thanks in advance...

Some had mentioned in immigration forums that you might be grilled with questions during naturalization process if you had changed employer as soon as you got your GC.If you are not planning for naturalization I assume you are fine.
A 6 month stay with current employer after GC is advised for a smooth naturalization process in future.But this is dark area as there are no posts from GC turned citizens about their experiences.
Thats not exactly true in the context of this thread. You have to work for your GC sponsorer for some period of time before changing employer. Pooch was mentioning his/her GC sponsorer is future employer. So after the GC is approved, he/she has to work for that GC sponsorer not the current employer.

If H1 for your spouse is already approved, there should not be any problem provided you carry all necessary documentation. If it is under processing (not yet approved), and you have your H1 approved, your spouse should not have problem for H4.
Jsb,
thank you for confirming. My wife's h1 is approved but once i took the appointment at calgary, the appointment letter mentions that first time COS conversions are strongly urged to go to their home countries as they cannot verify the academic qualifications. I think this is mainly for ppl going on desi consulting companies unlike universities.
Thanks

Looks like it is mistake. Is it your second FP appt? It is possible that they already have FP with them and I 140 and I 485 both approved on the same date - within an hour difference.
No, it's the first one. I really hope I-140 is approved :-)

I just got off the phone with a second level rep at USCIS and am getting really confused with their mixed messaged. before i push any panic buttons can some one please let me know if they had any conversations with the idiotic bunch at uscis and share your conversations with regards to the visa availability for next month. this idiot states that vsc just oversubscribed and that it could be that there wont be any movement on the cases. all this over enthusiasm for nothing - that would really infuriate me. there is a limit to the fuss they can cause and play with emotions.
Did he say vsc(vermont service center) ?
is vsc still processing 485 cases?

Hi,
I was on regular H1B for three years until mid 2008 when I changed to H4 status. Now, if I want to work for a non-profit organization, does the org have to just transfer the original H1B or file a new non-profit petition. If it is the latter (new petition) what happens to my original H1 approval? If I want to go back to the for-profit world do I need to apply for a new H1 or will my original H1 validity continue??
Thanks
AFP
I do not have answers to your question but have few questions of mine
1. Can non-profit H1 be transferred to regular H1?
2. While non-profile H1 is in extension process, can new regular H1 be filed?

Hello experts,
Here is a situation of my friend .
1.He lost his and his wife's passport alongwith the receipt notices and FP notice.The current visa which has expired and I-94 is also lost.
If he is in states then he can apply for new passport .For FP Notice he can just walk in to office get FP done on that day provided he has copy or A number with him .
Apply for duplicate copy of H1B approval ,I think it cost @ 200 - 300 $
2.The lost passport includes the old passport with old visa in it.
Get duplicate copy of h1b and go outside usa and get visa stamp on new passport.
Can you please throw some light as to what are his options.
Thanks & Regards
Just my 2 cents...

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?

Just to make sure we don't have our wires crossed... I am talking about running code in the background while designing. Is that how you understood my question? Does your answer still apply?
Sorry but I just reread my question and realized it was not very clear.

uscis sent incorrect alien registration # with my name to fbi for name check which ended up in an error . now after waiting for 2 years and 4 months uscis tells me that they are going to assign me a new alien # and send name check all over again. i am stuck please help..what options do i have to expedite this as it was uscis error.
Sorry to hear that you waited for 2 years due to name check.
This is a very big hell hole for people when they apply for 485.
90% people who apply for 485 are lucky to not face this.
There are just so many issues we face in our immigration process and cause us pain. Our efforts in the upcoming immigration debate will help this issue. There are provisions like doing the entire 485 processing within 6 months we need to protect. Please join us and support us so that we can all get rid of our immigration sufferings.

Hi,
I have decided to quit my current Company A.
My termination date is Sept 15th.
Am talking to Company B for my H1 transfer.
Can you please tell me how much time do I have from Sept 15th if the transfer application gets delayed, incase.
Thank You very much.

You mean before you are out of status? --- 60 days, I think.

Please scroll almost to the bottom of the page on this URL: http://www.indiainbusiness.nic.in/visitors-guide/visa.htm. There are two paragraphs for PIO card holders as given below:
PIO (Persons of Indian Origin) Card holders : Following the introduction of the PIO Card scheme, PIO card holders are eligible for visa free entry into India for a period of the validity of the card i.e. 15 years, and they are NOT required to register themselves with the concerned FRO/FRRO if their continuous stay does not exceed 180 days. If the continuous stay exceed 180 days, the foreigner should approach the concerned FRO/FRRO for registration within 30 days of the expiry of 180 days, who will in turn register them.
Children below 16 years: As per para 2 of Registration of Foreigners (Exemption) Order, 1957, children below the age of 16 years are exempt from the requirement of registration.
So, it seems, kids don't need to register. Common sense does prevail even in India sometimes. :D

As far as I know, still you need to do. When I enquired for my son, they said I have to. So I did for my kid
