one more question Plz. Sorry for bugging.
I lost this Expired EAD card during moving and now i only have its Front copy which i am going to submit with my I-765 form.
will it be any problem submitting only front copy of the Previous EAD because they are requesting for both (Front and Back) of the Previous EAD.
thanks

I think you mean once you are assigned a permanent A# ! It is assigned before a visa number is assigned.
A number series starting with 1 (eg. for OPT) are temporary. Those starting with 9 are permanent.
USCIS has a regular A# consolidation unit as well as a column to check for more than one A# on their internal worksheet for I-485.
Bottom-line: give your OPT A# and they will take care of the rest. This is what I did and worked.

As long as you are getting paid for the posistion your H1B co has hired you for, and are getting paystubs to prove that, you are fine.
You had a client and you were getting paid by your H1b employer, now you are getting paid cos you are working for your H1b employer directly. that is how I read it.
Your H1B petitioning company has to give a letter stating your continous employment with them, and that should be good.
PS: Techincally and legally speaking, you are borderline OK, however, with all the facts you have stated, it is illegal for you to be in the US on an H1B.

If you applied for labor through PERM and have a copy of you PERM application, the DOL o*net code is listed in section F. Box 2. of the ETA 9089 form. This code can then be looked up at the o*net web site: http://online.onetcenter.org/find/

Guys,
this doubt is bugging me due to recession fears.
if someone is on h1 status & have filed 485 in july 07. what happens when due to recession he/she is out of job (NO PAYROLL) for 3-4 months.
will the person have problems during 485 approval?? whats the possible negative that can happen in such god not willing situation
If you don't have a job on H1-B then you are not in legal status within this country. This may come back to haunt you during future 485 processing and approval. That's where an EAD is good in that it allows you to remain in legal status even when you don't have a job for a certain period of time.

i think it should be ok because some apply with non-availability certificate instead of birth certificate since they cant get one. Usually it depends on the immigration officer who reviews your petition at that time and what decision he takes. disclaimer: But check with your immigration attroney as I'm nt an attroney.
if possible get one with first/last name, i think it is easier to show the existing one and get new one because existing one has parents details too. dont take chances in I-485, because if anyone get RFE (query) then it will delay your case atleast a month or two, because you have to resend one again.
How about birth certificate stating initial and First name (not first name and last name). Any sugestions?

This might delay your GC for another 2years. Mainly due to security concerns after 9 / 11. Better option is to get your GC and then apply as family. Will take at least 4 to 5 years.

Geez, how hard can it be!!
Read the lines.
Prereqs:
1. I-485 applied for EB-2 India
2. PD after Jun 1st 2006 (i.e. ,PD is not current)
3. There was an LUD on 07/27
Only then, reply to the thread!!
SunnySurya with date after PD Jun 1st 2006 replied yes, which means this update has nothing to do with the PD being current.
I have PD of Nov 2006, 140-Approved, 485-July 2nd. I have not got any LUD on any of my applications. So, this soft LUD might not be for everybody.

As for as I know USCIS local office has stopped issuing interim EAD some where from 2006.
The only option we have is to request for expedite process which we can do by calling the USCIS customer service number. This you can get it in the USCIS website.
I think we can get the infopass only if 90 days has passed or if your EAD is going to expire soon and you need immediate attention.
Thanks buddy!
BTW, How to get an INFOPASS appointment?

Go ahead and file 485/EAD etc. EAD approval takes 2-3 months. To be on the safe side, apply for H1 extension also . it is safe to keep H1 till you get your 485 approval.
As per immigration-law, filing h1 extension could be a problem along with EAD, as H1 ext can be rejected. See my earlier post.
Has someone done this earlier??..

Thats why If you dont want to live here, move out. Why are you yelling here.
First control your son for his stupid behaviour. Then start talking about america.
I looked into all your old posts. See your son is involved in how many felonies
1 felony on record;
no FELONIES...
and remember this DUFUS it was US from England that discovered YOUR country...not AMERICANS
So stuff that where it needs to be stuffed

Pappu, I have not sought outside legal help, barring the legal advice of both firms paralegal.
I was told that the 'successor of interest' form will take care of the Labor, but the 140 will need to be filed again.
Do you want me to take other legal opinions as well? ( application is already mailed)
Do you absolutely need to file a new I140?
Have you sought other outside legal opinions on this matter?

All,
I think we are most close to H-1B process and thus we should be one who should propose changes to H-1B program to congress so that they can make program more fair and transparent to all. I suggest the following changes. I think IV core should take this up with senator/house representative.
H1-B improvements:
1) Instead of visa becoming available once every year (1 October), make visa � of the visa quota available every quarter and one can apply for visa in any given quarter on any day of the quarter or 10 days before the start of the quarter. Unused visas of preceding quarter are added to the next quarter.
2) Remove lottery system of awarding visa. In stead use the following method:
a. Until the first day of quarter, all applications for that quarter is accepted (first day of the quarter not included). Visa availability decision is made on first day of the quarter and then every first day of the week of that quarter. Let call these days �visa count day (VCD)�.
b. If number of application received between to consecutive �visa count day� or before the first VCD is less then number of available visas, all those applications are assigned available visas. Available visa count is reduced by number of applications with assigned visas.
c. No application is accepted if it was received on or after the VCD AND it was determine on that VCD that sufficient visas are not available for applications received between preceding VCD and the current VCD (or 10 days if VCD is the start of the quarter). Call this VCD �cut-off VCD� and immediate week (or 10 days if this is first VCD) preceding it �cut-off period (CP)�
d. The application received is CP is assigned available visa as follows:
i. Create the pool of all the employers who have applied in CP and still have H-1B application requiring new visa.
ii. Start with an employer playing highest salary to the H-1B applicant and assigned one visa to that application. Remove this employer for the pool. Move on to next highest paying employer in the pool and assigned one visa to that application.
iii. Continue doing point two (ii) until all visas are exhausted or there are no more employers in the pool. In later case, again create employer pool as stated in point one (i) and repeat the process.
3) Special clause for consulting position: If application for H-1B visa requires consulting work, following is required:
a. New LCA is required every year and when consultant changes the client.
b. New LCA must be based on the client�s job and experience requirement.
c. H-1B applicant must be paid based on LCA.
d. If H-1B applicant can establish significant fraud/H-1B exploitation, he/she (and any dependent) is awarded EAD immediately and he/she is eligible to apply for permanent residency without employer application. Employer is no longer eligible to apply for H-1B application and is fined $1million per fraud.
Some are good ideas. Did you think of the administrative overhead? What is the need for the special clause? It is too restrictive.
I think, in long run, increasing the cap, preventing the exploitation/ fraud, faster GC process are workable solutions. I sometimes hear that some companies bring L1B holders and place them as consultants ( a clear violation of L1 visa)..That is the area lawmakers should really drill more. L1 is clearly exploited, it is used like a virtual back door with no cap limits.
