Congradulations again to all those IV memeber who are getting Green card approvals and goodluck to all those members who are able to file their I485 and get EAD, just to be out of H1B /H4 clutches and one more step closer to green card
As current drastic visa movment proved the fact that for IV members main issue is not current law but itz implimentation. a change in law will certainly help, but thatz not our big problem
I would like to discuss your IV future agend with current situation, Please post your opinion how you think IV should procede based on current situations.
I belive IV should now concentrate more on making sure current law is implimented in a more effeciant way, make sure USCIS does not waste any visa numbers, we need to push for speeding citizenship processes and makeup for loss time during retrogression
IV should stop chasing CIR which has nothing for us and itz very controversial
IV is for legals and we should concentrate only on whatz good for us
I really appreciate core members opinion
by the way I got my approval for my I485
Sweet !!! Congratulations on getting ur 485 approved.

I am EB2, Indian. Filed for PERM earlier this summer and waiting for approval which I don't expect for another 4-6 months. The situation is that my company is in a very shaky financial position but they have been very supportive and I am hoping to be okay for the next 6 mo to year. My strategy is (assuming I don't lose my job) to just sit out my I-140 approval and that way I get the 3-yr extension and lock in my PD. I don't see being able to file for I-485 at this job.
Soo -- 2 questions:
1) Do you think the financial position of the company will affect the I-140 approval? It's a financial services firm and we have had a bunch of layoffs.
2) Assuming I get my I-140 approved, could I, in theory, leave the US for a while (I am very interested in a one-year fellowship program in Europe) and then come back and go work for a new company using the 3-year H1-B extension and begin the green card process again with my current (2009) priority date?
Thanks very much!
For question 2: Answer Yes.
If your company had lay offs there is a good chance you might get audit. If you get an audit the Perm process might take upto 2-3 years. If you dont get an audit perm process could finish in a year. Plan accordingly. All the best.

so you are saying that it took 1 year for USCIS to send you NOID?
you'd mentioned 140 withdrawl in dec2009.
AC21 is not mandatory in my opinion ( my lawyer's too) , I changed job this Aug
saw a soft LUD on my 4 years ago approved 140 after changing jobs..it been 3 months to the soft LUD.
seeing your pattern looks like they may send some letter but have not got any yet.

yes, in general as per law, you have to file tax returns to both states.
But most of the desi-employers try to use same state that they used first part of year and continue with that till end of year. But in the next year, they start with new state. This happens all the time with most of the desi-employers. There is no problem. You are not skipping any taxes, it is your employer's responsibility. If your employer says, he is working here and paying state taxes, then thats it, nobody can't say/argue anything.
:confused:
It is partly my fault as I should have noticed when I started a new project in end August in South Carolina.
But now looking at my W2 it shows that my employer has been filing taxes in my previous state Missouri for the entire year. How should I go about correcting this? I was in Missouri for 5 months and in South Carolina for the remainder. In which state should I file my tax too?
Any help will be greatly appreciated

you can check with a lawyer to be sure ,
but what i think is -->
since u have a new born Kid in india which u wish to bring to the US, i think that would be only possible at this point if you sponsor a H4 for him. And for you to sponsor h4 for him means you will need to continue to be on H1 visa.
Your decision to continue to use H1, will not affect your Ead/AP. But once again, until you apply 485 for your kid , it will need H4 status to remain in the US, hence forcing u to stay on H1.

Can any answer this question or put our thoughts on this?
Now all EB categories being current most of us are applying for 485 so how does the Approval process work?
Is it the first come first out or
It depends on the Priority Date?

As far as i know, the masters cap has no bearing on the educational level (bachelors/masters/PhD) of the job, as long as you've had a masters from an american university, you are eligible to use it, the RFE could be for some other reason, talk to your lawyer and figure it out.

hello all,
Has anyone in Charlotte, NC got a extension on the Driver's license on the basis on the H1-B renewal application receipt.
My spouse's driver's license expires this month end. I have applied for h1-b/h4 renewal, yet to receive the application receipt.But wanted to know if anyone here in Charlotte,NC got a extension/grace (30days or 90days) on the basis of the receipt.
thanks.
In Dallas I couldnt get based on the receipt. They asked me the I-94. But it was for the H4.

Could some one please clarify?
My wife and I were entered on AP lately and since I work for the same employer, I am still working on my H1 and am planning to extend my H1. My wife is working on EAD, can she still able to apply for H4 based on my H1? We want to have her H4 as a back-up!
Thanks
As soon as your wife used EAD, her H4 status was gone.
For you it would still be safe to continue working on H1.
Your advantages are:
1) Having dual status (H1B and AOS) is better than one.
2) You do not have to worry about EADs for yourself.

I applied on Jun6th and got my EAD 2 weeks back. I took infopass to expedite the process. The IO wrote an email to someone in TSC. I got approved next week. Give a try taking Infopass.
Good luck
Thanks, I will do that on 18th..took Infopass

Your change of status will come under 65K cap..and if the cap is not increased (lets still hope for the best) then it's going to be lottery again and it's your luck to be selected in the lottery. because of lottery you can not plan a lot of things..

Hi Tnite,
Thank you for your reply.
...but only in Adjustment of status, what does it meaning?
what it means is that once she uses her EAD , she is in AOS.Then she can work for her own company .
