Curios, is your employer desi. Wait for sometime, tell him that you need to go to your home country and need receipt notice to use your AP in return. Catch is you have to use your EAD & AP after return.
There's no catch at all.....according to my lawyer. He said even if you come back on AP, you can still work on your H-1B so long as it's valid.
Thanks,
Jayant

Another big difference, which popped up lately, is getting driving license on EAD in many states. You may have to reniew the driving license every year and complexity around that.
Thanks.
Thanks.

If President Bush believes that EB reform is in the National interest of US then it will be done.
For example the nuclear deal with India was pushed hard by Bush and inspite of all opposition by Non-Proliferation lobby the Congress overwhelmingly approved it just because it was perceived to be in the US national interest. Even though it completely undermined US position vis-a-vis Iran and North Korea, President Bush successfully convinced Congress to not only change domestic laws but literally forced the entire Nuclear Supplier Group consisting of 15 nations to bypass all international rules and norms just to make an exception for India�s case. All this was done just because it was in the US national interest and India�s too.
Bottomline:
Is EB Green Card reform in US National Interest?
Is Hi-tech labor export in India�s National Interest?
If the answer to the above two questions is Yes then anything can be achieved. Politics can create strange bedfellows and nothing is impossible in politics as proven by the nuclear deal.
Just a thought!!!!

That is good idea to keep H1B status as much as possible. Use EAD when u have to use it.
Thanks
In continuation to the below thread, I was asked to start a new thread
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24403
Below is my question, please find some time to respond
I currently working on H1 for the last 5 years.
I am a July 2007 I-485 filer and have my I-140 approved.
From what I read from the above thread -
1. Does it make sense to fill an I-9 form with the same employer and start working on EAD, instead of burning my remaining period in H1?
2. That way even if for some reason my I-485 gets rejected, I can continue working by switching to H1?
Thoughts....

Thanks for your response ...
I am told that my status will expire whenmy latest I-94 expires .. I had been out of the country after i recieved my latest H1B so technically my I-94 will expire on 16th-sep-2007 ...
My question is what will be one's status after filing I485?
For adjustment of status you should be in a Valid H1. If you get your EAD before Setp 16th then you can use this to work and you are safe. If you dont get EAD you are basically out of status. So I suggest get your H1 Renewed Right away using Premium or regular processing.
Again this is my analysis check with your lawyer.

Did you try the walk-in option. Some offices have walk-in option and they do let you in without a Infopass appointment. And also since you think that your case is so serious , did you try to talk the security person explaining him the situation that you are not able to book an appointment for Infopass and let you in for walk-in appointment.
Local offices are usually accomodating if there is a genuine issue.

28.6% Each for EB-1, 2, 3
Divide this 28.6% into 4 quarters/12 months so each quater/month has some quota.
If divide into 4, each category has 7.15% quota in each quarter.
There's limitation for each country.
Each quarter, when a country hits the limitation, cut-off date shows up to make sure no more applicant processed for that country.
Back to the old time, unused quota after 4th quarter are going to trash can, despite there's cut-off date for certain country or certain category.
In 4th quarter of 2007, according to USCIS, To not waste the quota, they set every category current. In this case, they process your application randomly or according to the receive date to USCIS regardless your EB category or country.
So very likely unused EB-1 quota go to EB-2 ROW, not China/India/... if the country limit is hit. If the country limit is not hit, EB-1 quota is for EB-1 until EB-1 for every country is current. There's no EB-1 ROW quota or EB-1 India quota.
Hopefully, at the 4th quarter, they will push a big forward again(but please don't do current in every category again, that is a mess) to ensure the quota for the year is fully used and not going to trashcan. And that opportunity is even to everyone if they pick up the case with in the cut off date randomly regardless receiving date and country. Or they process it according to receiving date, FIFO, country not matters.
If they think it was a mess for 2007 and not going to do it again. they might go back to old way and those unused quota are just gone to trashcan. This is the part we should work on and try to avoid.

Below is data of PD from last four years for EB2-I - only for Jun, Jul & Aug.
Except July Fiasco , I don't see dates ever moving forward in July VB; but they do move in August VB.
Has anything changed in spillover laws in last 1 year - which will explain this no movement in July but in August?
Jun 06 : 01JAN03 | July 06 : 01JAN03 | August 06 : U ---> No change in July. Aug backward
Jun 07 : 01APR04 | July 07 : C | August 07 : U ---> July Fiasco
Jun 08 : 01APR04 | July 08 : 01APR04 | August 08 : 01JUN06 ---> No change in July. Aug forward
Jun 09 : 01JAN00 | July 09 : 01JAN00 | August 09 : 01OCT03 ---> No change in July. Aug forward
Jun 10 : 01FEB05 | July 10 : ?????? | August 10 : ???? ---> Do your really expect forward movement in July?
yes - There will be some movement - it depends on ROW demand and spillovers - they may even move it ahead just for the heck of it - remember that they are desperate for $$$ - it all depends on how much pressure is there for lawyer lobby (AILA) - USCIS shortfall and I guess doctors who do immigration checkups will also get benefit.

My point is not TSC or NSC - my point is we all sufferers should now unite and create pressure. I cant do alone , you cant do alone.
How do you want to contact AILA - why they should suddenly listen to a bunch of 10 stray immigrants like you , me ??
One thing i dont follow in your post how EB3 becoming U affect Processing times of I-140 ? I-140 doesn't depend on "Country of Origin" or "Retrogression".
Let me know !
There's a EB3 140 approval drought in not just NSC, but TSC too. I think it's going to get worse with EB3 becoming U. I am myself EB3 Mar 2005 and my job isn't looking very stable after my company resorted to outsourcing.
Can we suggest to AILA reinstatement of premium processing for those who've waited beyond some acceptable period of time? The same way they are doing for people whose H1's are at the brink of expiration.
I don't see any other way they will ever give heed to this problem i.e. where no monetary gains are involved.

possible reason for mysterious rejections :
You are a mail room guy, you go home friday (06/29) and comeback on monday (06/02).
You start the monkey business of timestamping incoming mail, but half an hours into the day (around 8 or 9:00 am), you realize "sshhttt: i did not change the date on my stamp, its still read 06-29-2007". In the classical govt. fashion, you do not bother to go back and restamp the applications with the correct datetime. Not because you are evil, but because you simply don't understand the ramifications of early stamping. You think u are doing the guy a favor, putting him/her early in line.. but guess what... the guy's application is gonna get rejected.
Could this be the case with some apps mysteriously being rejected?
my application reached NSC at 7:55am on July 2nd and I got my physical receipt notice today, mine was signed for by R Williams. checks didnt get cashed yet.

You see, soundbites and rhetoric are very very tempting. Calling ourselves slaves, using words like "hi Tech slaves" makes us feel that we have finally taunted the system and shamed the lawmakers into acting.
Well, that's not how it works. We are advocating congress. We are not running for an election here and using soundbites and rhetoric really helps when trashing your election opponents. We are trying to get something done here, we are not running an election campaign and we dont have any opponents to taunt and shame by using the words like "slavery" and by trying to make a mockery of the system.
If taunts and rhetoric and soundbites would have done the job, we would have gotten bills passed long time ago.
Those who have made suggestions about using words like "Slaves" and "Hitech Slaves", and "tax paying slaves" have probably never been to lawmaker's offices. These words not only are improper and not only do they provide ammunition to people who oppose us, they are downright flat wrong. They also bring disgust and awkward situation if you use them in lawmaker's office. Imagine this: You are sitting with the judiciary counsel and if they ask you..."Who do your represent" and you say "We are from a grassroots nonprofit organization called Hi tech slaves". What do you think is going to happen to the rest of the meeting??
And by the way, those who are running out of patience with Greencard process are totally capable of packing their bags and going back to their home country. So you cannot call it slavery. Slavery is bonded labor. Where is the bond here? If you dont like your job, then change your job and get a new H1? If you cant port your PD and if you are sick of waiting, then you can go back because really, the bond is in your head, if at all. Its not like your employer is holding a gun to your head. That WAS THE CASE during actual slavery in this country. They were sold, traded and bonded. They were killed if they disobeyed? By comparing ourselves and our situation to that, you are not only being counterproductive, you are insulting the real victims of slavery that existing 150 years ago.
Use common sense and always think that what would be the impact if my post is read by people who intend to testity against us in Congress. Read John Miano's testimony in July 2006 in Judiciary committee. And use some discretion.
I am going to close this thread now.
Those who want to suggest new names for organization or new domain names for the website, please send an email to info@immigrationvoice.org and your availability to work on changing the names everywhere, including all paperwork etc and how much time can you spend on doing it and how can we transfer all name recognition from old name to new name. If its possible and if you can work on it and spend time on it to help us do that, we will surely do it.

I visited my local USCIS office and the officer told me that they don't do I-94 updates and asked me to contact the CBP office. When I called them up to get an appointment, I got transferred to a lady who asked me the details. After listening to my case she said its perfectly okay and asked me to attach the new I-94 from the 797 to the passport. Is this true?
