Every attorney handles a case in different way. But sure your Bank statement reflecting a direct deposit will be a substitute for your paystub.

Given the situation for 485 denial. AFAIK, You have an option of filing for H1B (not counted against quota) based on your B's labor approval and pending 140. Once you use the EAD, technically you don't have the H1B status to transfer or extend. Hence, it will require you to go to consulate (b/c approval will come without I94) to stamp, and start working for Company B after you return.

Hi,
I f there is one word difference between first name in marriage certificate and birth certificate will that be basis for rejection of application or will it just be RFE?
First name on the birth certificate and passport is the same but instaed of "ta"there is "tha" in marriage certificate .Due holiday ,it is just impoossible to get affidavit by tonight.
Please I sincerely appreciate your opinion what should be done in such case?
Wait till 16th evening ,hoping to get affidavit which may or maynot be possible or just go ahead and submit application now?
Thank you so much.
I don't think you will even get an RFE, let alone rejection. File now and don't wait for 16th evening. It has to reach there on th 17th. Once you file you can prepare an affidavit and keep in hand in case you get an RFE.

My OPT started on July 12th, 2006 and I did not apply for my H1-B last year because the advanced degree cap quota was reached even before I got my job. Now, my OPT expired on July11th, 2007. My attorney suggested me to use the 60 days grace period to stay in U.S and get my H1-B Visa stamped in Chennai, India (Because, the 60 days grace period will get over by September 11th, 2007 and there is 19 days gap before my H1-B starts). In the H1-B approval notice it is clearly mentioned that I would attend the Chennai consulate for my stamping. The problem is that, I am not able to find available dates in Chennai consulate for H1-B stamping. Can I attend Delhi or Mumbai consulates? Please suggest me a way to come out of this situation.
You will have to fill in Form I-824. The Question 2b - "USCIS to notify a different U.S. Consulate or Port-of-Entry about the approval of an application or petition. Please notify the U.S. Consulate or Port-of-Entry at:", you will select Delhi or Mumbai consulate here. I need to warm you that this is a very slow process and you hardly have any time.
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-824.pdf
First and foremost, you will have to make sure that you are not overstaying and going beyond your 2 month grace period. Hence make arrangements for international travel and consider this top priority!
Now that I have answered your question. I would like to request you not to open multiple threads asking the same question. Please delete your second thread.
Also, I am hoping that you are aware of this Big Rally event which IV is planning for. Please see if you can contribute towards the Rally in any form.

Dont waste your time for FOIA. You will never got it. I have personally applied for FOIA one and half year back and yet to see any response. I really doubt I will ever get a copy of I-140.
In fact I have not seen or heard of anyone getting I-140 copy based on FOIA. Everyone just said they applied or should get the copy someday; that's it. May be you should just go ahead and apply anyway. It has to negative effect but do not plan anything based on it. For example, you will change job after you get the copy or something like that than you will be waiting forever.
Hi guys,
Does anyone know, When to apply for FOIA for I-140 ? After or Before Approval of I-140. Coz I don't know whether my I-140 is approved or not yet.
Or should we wait until the processing dates cross our reciept dates ?
Anyone who did this successfully, pls enlighten the members.

This job attracts me because of never thinked pay scale and benifits in my life. Company B has record that no one leave them in last 9 years. Or never they lay off anyone.
I told client B that I can work on EAD but HR Manager wants me to transfer my H1 in company B.
JOB work is not same, My AOS based on server administartor and in financial client I am goign to do desktop management.
Is this something right approch to transfer h1b? Will company A can create any problem for my GC process? I already passed 180 days for pending AOS. Another thing is my wife has already used her EAD from h1 and working as fulltime. she is my derivative applicant.

I got laid off recently.
Now got job with 2 companies. 1 small and 1 big. 3 questions:
(1) Should I select based on my salary? Big company offers more salary.
(2) I have to now start Greencard again. So should I choose big company or small ? Both said they will consider sponsoring if performance is good.
(3) If I transfer H1B Is Big company likely to get RFE or small?

You can apply for an MTR, and if it is approved, you are safe. If not, you will be out of status from the day your petition was denied.
You can apply for H1 with another employer and have it premium processed.

Hi,
Here is my current Status :
I485 : Filed in July 2007
PD : April 2006
EAD : Valid till 27th August 2010 (filed for renewal last week)
AP : Valid till Jan 22nd 2011
H1B : Valid till Jan 22nd 2011
My employer is still the same who filed for my GC (and helping me keep my H1 current) Last couple of time when I went to India I have used AP to re-enter the US. My wife used her EAD to get a job locally - but now she has quite and she is in India. . I am currently in process of getting my H1 stamped on my passport, get H4 for my wife and son (who was born on July 30 2010 in India)
MY QUESTION IS : What should we use to re-enter the US ? AP or H1/H4 ?
Will my H1 and EAD still be valid ? or will I lose one of them ?
Please let me know. I do not want to take a wrong step since I am so close to getting my GC.

Everyone know about the problem insted of sloving PROBLEM (slavery) they will chase the H1-Visa people to the work place like they are thieves.
Why they are not chaseing the illegal people ?
They issues GC to Illegal people before the legal (H1-LC-I140-485) 10 years wait.
Everyone knows they but no one wants to admit.

Friend of your's needs to carefully look at that page of the passport again.
One of the following would be corssed out (or marked deleted)
(1) ECR: Emigration Check Required (for all countries except Bangladesh, Pak, North America and Europe)
(2) Emigration Check NOT Required.
If ECNR is not deleted, then there is no problem. If it is delted, there is still no problem in coming to the US (In my passport, ECNR was deleted, and I had no problem in leaving India for the US).
If ECR is not deleted, then emigration check is required only if you are travelling to countries that are not in the list of exceptions in (1).
Guys,
Friend of mine has got H1B1 visa stamped now. But we just found out that on his passport ECNR is not deleted. ECNR is still required there.
Can you guys help us to understand what this is? Do we need to remove ECNR before he travel to UR? He has BE (Mech).
When I came to US my ECNR was deleted and I am also graduate.
Your help appreciated.

HI Folks
The reason for this post is as usual- too much confusion and no clear answers. i read on oh law firm that if you are not in a non-immigrant status i.e are working on EAD, there should be no gap in your EAD while you are working. Meanin you should stop working if your current EAD expires and your new EAD is pending- otherwise its a violation of law and provisions of 245 do not protect you because technically you are NOT a non-immigrant.
Is that true?????
Now, i recently had to go to India for an emergency, and had to come back on AP- did not have time to get my H1b visa stamped. I asked at the immigration counter if my H1b is invalidated and he told me it is. I spoke to my lawyer and she told me if you resume your H1b employment with the same employer- you are back in status- i kinda did not buy that though.
Can someone please shed light. My concern is that my EAD is expired- new one is pinding. Although i was on h1b when i left for India, but came back using AP. Am i breaking a law by working??
thanks

You can start LLC or 'C' corp on EAD. No consequences. You cannot start 'S' corp on EAD. See this:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum72-ac21-portability-after-180-days-of-485-filing/13349-ead-can-you-register-a-llc-inc.html
1.) Yes, but you cannot work for it without filing H1 if you are on H1 status. You can even become a partner on EAD.
2.) Yes
3.) Depends on your state of registration. Contact Department of State in your state of residence. In Texas you have to pay $750/yr even if you are not doing any business in LLC.
I agree with greyhair.Though you can start LLC, you should still be able to pay taxes as for S corp. Contact you accountant.He will explain to you better.Good luck.

Gap in employment and porting priority date:
What if there is a gap of employment between leaving the previous employer who made the initial green card application under EB3 and joining the new employer who is willing to make a new application under EB2.
I-140 is approved, I-485 was pending for more than six months when the employee left the first company and has had a gap in employment for a few months. The employee has joined the new company using EAD. I-140 has not been revoked.
Would applying for the green card under EB-2 and trying to port the EB-3 priority date cause any complications given the gap in employment. The new job satisfies the same or similar job requirement with a 50% bump in salary and meets the EB-2 requirements. Would really appreciate your insight on the risks to be aware of if any due to the gap in employment. Thanks!

DAZED: Once your H1B extension is approved, it will expire only on the date shown in I797. Your 485 rejection does not invalidate your H1. BTW, if you use your H1, your H1 is invalid but you will still be able to extend it as long as it has not expired.

Here is a quick update from the California Service Center regarding this new fee. The additional filing fees of $2,000 for certain H-1B petitions and $2,250 for certain L- 1A and L-1B petitions is applicable to petitioning employers who employ 50 or more employees in the United States and 50% of the petitioner�s employees are in H-1B, L-1A or L-1B status. The PL 111-230 fees do not apply to petitions requesting an extension of H-1B, L-1A or L-1B status with the same employer (only for initial filings for a new beneficiary).
When the fee is not required, it is critical that the petitioner explicitly acknowledge this and explain why it is not required in the I-129 filing. If this is not done, USCIS will likely issue a Request for Evidence asking for a statement from the petitioner, causing unnecessary delays in processing.
The Service Center previously stated:
Until the Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker (Form I-129) and the Nonimmigrant Petition Based on Blanket L Petition (Form I-129S) are revised, USCIS recommends that all H-1B, L-1A, and L-1B petitioners include, as part of the filing packet, the new fee or a statement or other evidence outlining why this new fee does not apply. USCIS requests that petitioners include a notation indicating whether or not the fee is required in bold capital letters at the top of the cover letter. The fee, statement, notation, or other evidence should be provided with each petition submitted. Where the fee or documentation is not submitted with the filing, or where questions remain, USCIS may issue a Request for Evidence to determine whether the additional fee applies to the petition.The following is a sample statement that the petitioner employer could use:
By this statement we confirm that our company (the petitioner) is not required to pay the H-1B filing fee under Public Law 111-230. Our business does not have more than 50 percent of our employees in the United States in H-1B or L-1 nonimmigrant visa status. Therefore, we are not required to pay the additional filing fee.
Please email me with any questions regarding the above referenced info.
