Since you got your H1B approved, it is risky to take another chance with lottery. With the approved H1B you can transfer it. In the meantime from this time till October you can get your OPT extended but you have do it within 30 days of receiving your H1 notice. Dont worry, you are not out of status. Look out for a job now.

Change add' online in USCIS website. After few days you will receive confirmation letter. Also send AR-11 for to DHS and confirm with USCIS.
FYI, i saw 2 LUDs on 485 & EAD from the day i changed the address online.
I changed my address online and confirmed my address with cSR.
I didn't send AR-11 form though.
I didn't get any confirmation mail for address change to the new address..
Is this fine?
Please advice.
Thank you

Both lawyers are right. To get the correct answers you have to be asking correct questions.
If you want to port your priority date to new employer, you have to file PERM and I-140 with new employer. Since you have PERM and I-140 already approved - you can do that.
From the other side, since you already filed your I-485, you don't have to do anything. You don't need your PD ported, just use AC21 and wait for your GC.
The only issue is that you never worked for sponsoring employer, USCIS might want some evidence that you really had/have intent working for him and will demand explanation why you are not working for them and never worked. This issue will disappear if you will refile PERM/I-140 with new employer.

That is right. If it is feasible go for it. Also, what do you mean by residency for ur wife..medical one ?
In either case she can always come here for interviews on a B2 visitor, I know people who have done/doing it for medical residency.

This is simply called pure selfishness.
The way nk2006 misused IV resources for such a simple personal issue is unpardonable .
Knowing that there are such people among 'highly educated' is disheartening.
First of all its not 56K threads - created around 15. Idea is to create more awareness - someone suggested to propagate in state chapters. In most of state chapters - threads are not active - so posted in about 15 state chapters to get attention of any members who only follow state chapters.
Second of all I am not affected. I am volunteering. I also volunteered and donated earlier for other efforts. I honestly thought that AC21 together with EAD is only good thing that happened to us in the last couple years and thought this campaign would maintain that status.

IV on Bay Area TV - FOX-2 (KTVU)
Pratik Dakwala of Immigration Voice was interviewed by KTVU, a local Fox affiliate of San Francisco Bay area. The name of the interviewer was Priya David.
The program will be telecast between 5PM and 6PM Pacific standard time and the interview is about 5-6 minutes long.
Dont live in Bay area:
If you dont live in San Francisco/San Jose area, you can see the link that they would upload on website : http://www.ktvu.com/index.html. We will post the link here once available.
If you live in San Francisco/Bay area:
This will be probably available only in Bay Area and nearby areas where they can have KTVU Fox-2. The good thing is, since this is a local channel, I dont think you need cable to see this. However, if you do have cable I am sure you can see it, but then I am not sure whether it will be channel 2 or some other channel.
This is one more media coverage event in the series of events that has helped immigration voice highlight the problems of legal employment-based immigrants. Other media stories that covered Immigration Voice can be found here(also a menu item on home page): IV in the News (http://www.immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_weblinks&catid=19&Itemid=27)

Hello
MY new 140 approved with PERM. Yet to see the approval but I hope they classified me in Eb2 and placed my old PD.please see my signature for the details
I have the following questions
1. What are the different things one can do to speed up the interfile process
2. Do we need to go through medicals again, last done in 2007?
3. Do we need to go through FBI clearance, last done in late 2007?
Asking Question #2 and #3 because it costs money and I have to spend from own pocket, employer not covering from 140 onwards
Any experience, thoughts, inputs are appreciated
Thank you

Well...If the judge happens to get enough jurors at the time he/she might not issue an arrest warrant ....If the judge issues the arrest warrant and the local police cannot find you, the warrant just sits there....There is a national database for outstanding warrants...When someone gets caught doing something else, they look up for the outstanding warrants..Then I guess they would hand you over to the police where there is an outstanding warrant for you. Otherwise the warrant just sits there..You would need to explain to the judge that you are not eligible for jury duty and explain the situation and the judge might expunge the record.....You would spend some hard earned money doing that...
The whole thing might degenerate into 'My Cousin Vinny'.
You should always forward your mail...Don't get caught doing something stupid either...That is a good advice for always.....
I don't think that the immigration people look into the outstanding warrants...
How will judge determine that we actually received the post.It can be lost on the way or something else can happen.Or do we have to sign the notice when the postman gets it.

Hello,
(1)
My employer filed EB3 at first and then EB2 labour filings.
But EB3 labour approval is received just before filing 140. i.e after receiving the EB2 labour approval.
------------------------------------------
(2)
I have received my 140 approval notice. This is the first document of GC that my attorney shared with me.
-------------------------------------------
Question is := So is my GC is processed under EB2 / EB3?

AS PER THE ADDENDUM II
In guidance issued by legacy INS after the 1999 rule change, the Service stated the following:
However, an H-1 or L-1 nonimmigrant will violate his/her nonimmigrant status is s/he uses the EAD to leave the employer listed on the approved I-129 petition and engage in employment for a separate employer.22 (Emphasis in original).
AILA believes that a nonimmigrant who “moonlights” pursuant to an EAD has not “left” his or her employer, and thus is still maintaining proper status. AILA requests USCIS to confirm that, in the case of an H-1B or L-1 nonimmigrant, present in the United States under a valid petition in either classification, who moonlights pursuant to an EAD, still maintains his H-1B or L-1 status.
I think as per the Addendum II, USCIS has yet to certify that moonlighting will not loose the H1B status. AS OF TODAY ,working with additional employer on EAD will void the status.

Here is the abstract of the paper....
Abstract:
These returnees contributed to the tech boom in those countries and arguably spurred the growth of outsourcing of back-office processes as well as of research and development.
This hits right on the bulls eye. This actually truned disastrous in the long run and may very well continue to pull down the objectives of 21st century american competitiveness, unless they do something drastically different to attract and retain the talent.
Given the tax payer stimulus, which is only going to create 3 million blue collar workers and may be a state of the art infrastructure, which already is, will add fuel to fire and the bubble/boom will be visible only in different side of the earth. Its unfortunate, but highly possible as many trend analysts like Celente predicts.

Folks
this is a Q for my Friend
He was working at Lehman before the company filed for chapter 11
... He has been told that salary will be paid for 3 months
Right now he is at home and looking for other offers and no H1b transfer has been started
Question is ... Is he OK ( in status ) currently or a H1b transfer has to be done ASAP
thanks

For conditional GC the USC should make a joint application for his/her spouse for removal of conditional GC restrictions.
One of the important things with Conditional GC is to demonstrate that the Husband and Wife still have lots of family ties during the Adjustment of Conditional status, This would include showing the IO with proofs such as joint bank accounts, kids, utility bills etc......
If the spouse is being abused by the USC and provided there is adequate proofs for the same such as court restrain order, Police complaint etc At that time, one can file for a waiver of a joint application without the need for USC to make the application
It is always better to consult a Good immigration lawyer for Professional Advise.

Thanks, I do have the copy of I-140 approval notice with receipt number and all that info.
It's hard to find employers (once again, non consulting ones) who commit to file my GC application again. At best, I get a "we'll gladly transfer your H1-B visa but no commitment on GC" sort of response. Considering a worst case scenario, if I dont have a newly approved PERM by May 2013 and my original PD (July 2008) becomes current, what happens then?
Thanks again!
Asuming you dont have an approved labor by 2013, you will not be able to apply for H1b renewal at that point (even if your PD is not current). The only way you can get further extensions is if you have completed the PERM by then or atleast have PERM pending for 365 days. Join somebody now and then look for others who would be willing to do the PERM immediately. I am not sure how long you can stay now since you are basically out of status as of last week.
