You do not need EAD as your have GC. You can stay and work using your GC. EAD is required while your GC is under process.

If your company not informed USCIS and you are again working with the same company means you are not out of status, consider 1 month as unpaid vacation. No need to stamp your visa, if you have time in I-94. If you want to go to home country, better go after having atleast 3 /6 months of continuous pay stubs with you
Hi
I have an urgent query. Please help.
I was laid off from my company AA during last week of March-2010. I have not yet singed the lay off letter. And I was rehired by the same AA company on second week of May. I have valid I 94 for next 2 years. But my visa got expired. I was out of payroll for a month. I dont have last 2 payslips.
I have joined the new client through the AA company few days before. My AA compay is asking me to go my Home country and get my Visa stamped and come back. Is there a way that I can continue the employment here without travalling to my Home country at this point ? Are any other better solutions / ways.
Immediate response highly appreciated.
thanks

Washington, D.C. � Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose) today introduced a bill to void the recent increases in immigration fees by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The bill would void the new fee structure set to take effect today and reinstate the previous fee structure. The bill also states that USCIS has consistently failed to reduce application backlogs and has suffered from a lack of transparency and effective management.
�Our immigration services need to move into the 21st century,� stated Rep. Zoe Lofgren. �But, USCIS has consistently failed to explain or justify the amounts and distributions of this new fee increase. While I agree that USCIS needs to modernize its existing infrastructure and procedures, they must do so in a transparent and open manner. After repeated requests over several months, USCIS has yet to provide Congress with a detailed plan for its infrastructure modernization efforts. Our immigration system should be both effective and fair; sacrificing one to achieve the other should not be an option.�
Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren is serving her seventh term in Congress representing most of the City of San Jose and Santa Clara County. She serves as Chair of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security, and International Law. She also Chairs the House Administration Subcommittee on Elections and serves on the House Homeland Security Committee. Congresswoman Lofgren is Chair of the California Democratic Congressional Delegation consisting of 34 Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives from California.

lets fight to recapture Visa numbers from the previous years.. As this article rightly points us, the road ahead:
Not the End of the Road
Still unresolved is the issue of green cards that have gone unused in the past decade or more. USCIS estimates that 10,000 green cards of the 140,000 allotted for employment-based applicants were not issued last year. Immigration Voice estimates that 200,000 in total have gone unused in the last decade. Immigrant advocates have been urging the federal government to offer make these green-card slots available to help relieve the backlog of those waiting for green cards, an estimated 500,000.
Using green cards from previous years would require legislation from Congress. Lofgren says there have been "some discussions going on informally" about whether such a move is possible. But it's no sure thing. It would be difficult to pass such legislation in a Congress that is leery of any immigration issue after a comprehensive reform effort with the support of President George W. Bush and bipartisan leaders in the Senate got shot down earlier this summer.
Meanwhile, immigrant advocates say they will continue to press to speed the process of turning workers with visas into permanent residents. "This [decision] helps us move from a more painful limbo to a less painful limbo, but it's limbo nonetheless," says Immigration Voice's Pradhan. "Adjustment of status is not our final destination; green-card status is."

ATTORNEY GENERAL HOLDER RESTORES DUE PROCESS FOR IMMIGRANTS INJURED BY INEFFECTIVE REPRESENTATION:
AILA praises decision by Attorney General to withdraw Matter of Compean.
WASHINGTON, DC*� The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) welcomes the restoration of due process in the Immigration Court system. Attorney General Eric Holder today withdrew the decision issued by former Attorney General Mukasey on the last day of the Bush Administration, which had eviscerated the right to effective representation in Immigration Court proceedings. Attorney General Holder had stated during his confirmation process that he would review the Mukasey decision and that he disagreed with its reasoning. AILA is grateful for this restoration of a basic constitutional process�Due Process, in the immigration court system.
AILA commends Attorney General Holder for living up to his word, and for his clarity of understanding of not only the constitutional principle of due process, but also for the boldness with which he acted today. �The restoration of the prior standard for claiming ineffective representation in immigration court proceedings is a welcome sign that the Obama administration understands that the rights that apply to the least of us, apply to all of us,� said Charles H. Kuck, president of AILA. �By ensuring that immigrants seeking relief from the harsh consequences of deportation are assured that they will not be punished by the ineffective actions of their counsel, Attorney General Holder has reset the standard that the Constitution ensures. Today�s action, along with the other positive signs from the Administration signal that a restoration of our most sacred principles of justice has begun.�

Hi Friends and Administrators,
I have a suggestion. I am sure the administrators here have much better ideas than mine but I would request administrators to please read this suggestion with an open mind. It might be useful for the community.
I am sure we have enough members working for big companies like Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Intel etc. The past experiences tell us that congress listens to these companies more than us even if we are making a valid point on the legal immigration issues. The irony here is that these companied care for H1 visa expansion not green card quota expansion. These big companies do not realize the benefit of green card quota expansion to them.
Let me prove how. A large proportion of the immigration community is working for small companies as consultants. Their immigration status makes changing jobs very difficult. Now I am sure if the people stuck in GC process get there GC thousands of people will not be forced to work for consultant companies and will look for permanent jobs. And these big companies are sitting on the top of the most desired companies to work for. These thousands of consultants will be more than happy to work for these big companies after they get there GC.
My point here is that if we can have these Companies speak for us, our voices can be heard by congress.
How this can be done: If immigrants working for these companies as consultants or permanent can start a chain of email and send a signed copy with hundred of signatures to the management, management might think of putting these points across to congress.
The contents of this email should be simple and achievable. Like
1. Recapture of unused Visas.
2. Get rid of the country quota. (This one is difficult but very beneficial).
3. Except US graduates form quota. (This one is controversial in IV community, but if US graduates are out of the quota every one is benefited. US graduates will be benefited more, but others will be benefited because there will be less number of people to share the quota. I mention this one because this point can get big support for the universities also, and I am sure congress does not ignore a voice coming form the universities.
About increasing the quota it is difficult and will not help much if the country quota is still exists.
If the email submitted to the management contain thousands of signatures from immigrants working for here company and people who support these immigrants in the company management and people like Bill Gates might talk to the congress to hemp us.
May be it is 2 cents suggestion but I would like the administrators to think out it with a open mind.
Thanks,

I understand I can�t invoke AC21, but I was reading somewhere that � if you are changing your sponsored company and found same or similar job, then and then you need to file AC21, in my case my sponsored company is still same and ones I got GC, I will start working for them (like future employment).

My AOS was denied few months 4 months ago after I switched using AC21. Since my current employer has their own attorney (Pappas Lenzo in Boston) they filed for MTR and it is still pending. I was on my H1 which will expire in another 2 months. The attorneys are saying it takes time for MTR to be successful. But was not sure it would take this long.
Anyone has experience who filed I-485 MTR and it was successfull through this attorney.
Please PM me if you do not want to share the experience in public.

Hi all,
Thanks for your time...please help.
My I-140 Denied couple of months back and I Appealed (I-290B) this decission with all the evidences to prove my exp & employer's ability to pay.
On June 11, 2009 I got the email from USCIS saying my I140 was approved On June 11, 2009.
But, on June 10, 2009 (previous day) USCIS denied my I485 as well as my wife�s I485. Please let me know, how to reopen both of these�
Thanks for your advice,
crao
To my knowledge, this can be expected when 140 gets denied.. But when you get your 140 approved by MTR or other, you can initiate a process to re-instate the 485 and other which were filed before. Talk to a good attorney and I'm sure you'll be OK.
Take it easy and you'll be OK. Dont panic.. I have read that its not unexpected..

What are the rules for getting a new 3 X 2 year H1.
Person leaves US while on the 5th year in November 07.
applies for H1b in april 08 and gets new H1b valid from Oct 08 to March 09.
However re-enters US only after 365 days of external stay in december 08 (not in Oct 08).
Is he eligible for a new 3X2 year H1 or can he obtain only a year extension to recapture the time spent abroad (365 days)?
You can get -
1. a year extension to recapture the time spent abroad
2. New/Extend H-1B for 3 year, but will be subject to cap
3. can get new/extension H-1B for 3 years without cap, if you have I-140 approved
4. can get new/extension H-1B for 1 year without cap, if I-140 is pending

Depends on when you sent your H1 renewal application. If you expect the approval by Jan, then you can wait as you can get at least 3 yrs of DL (p.s. - some states give DL beyond the visa expiry date)
Otherwise, use EAD to get DL for 2 yrs.

They said she can start as soon as it it approved.Only thng i am worried about is when she wants to transfer H1b what are the hurdles have to be faced.I heard or enquired that as long as Quota is there she can transfer H1B.
Is it legally difficult because transfering from Non Profit to Regular Organization.
Thanks

I entered exactly the following on a separate sheet for that item:
"Pending adjustment of status petition. Lengthy adjustment and the need to visit family from time to time."
I self filed for I-131 (both for my spouse and myself) and had no problem with the approval.
I see. And did you attached any documents with that statement?

Given the current circumstances, it will take years for I-485 to be
process for 02-july filers.
One of the provisions of AC-21 is that the job is in same or similar
occupation. If a person changes his functional role(Ex: IT->marketing,
IT->Non-IT, IT->Sales etc.), how is AC-21 protoability applied ?
So, in this case, can a new labor/I-140 be applied for the NEW
position ? Can this I-140 be used to replace the existing I-140
with USCIS ? Can I-485 continue in this case ?
Thanks
