I work for a Government Agency as a H1 employee, I have my EAD as well but dont use it. I am sure the attorneys made sure that its ok to hire a H1 as an employee. Now I am doing an AC21.
Thanks Guys, So I guess it's a possibility?

Government officials as well as immigration lawyers have been implicated in several recent corruption cases. Here are some of the cases that have made news in the last few days: USDOJ announced a ICE official was sentenced in a kickback scheme involving a confidential informant in an alien smuggling investigation. A former official at the US Consulate in Toronto was sentenced to a year in prison for a scheme where visas were expedited in exchange for gifts and trips with exotic dancers. A Utah lawyer stands accused of massive fraud in securing H-2B visas for ineligible workers. A Beverly Hills...

That is what , i don't have any information with me about I140 except the fact that it got approved one year ago and now i applied 485 and got EAD cards also.
IS there any way to get when both employer and attorney is not willing to give it to me ? Or is it really required ?
I dont even have the receipt number.
my point is UCSIS know about approved I- 140 bcz they approved it. Also i am hoping my attorney added some information about the I-140 in my I485 when he applied.. Is that correct ?

How about working on an EAD in a part-time job while working full-time on your h1 sponsored job? I assume the h1 will not become invalid in this case because EAD is being used for the part time job.

Interesting- Never done a FOIA request for just an approval.
I might try filing an I-824 seeking a duplicate approval notice.

My efiled EAD went to TSC. I sent my copy of my approved I140 and I485 as supporting documents. I got my biometric notice in a weeks time and in a month I got my EAD card. But I guess you need not send any supporting docs because you can give your I485 and I140 number in the online application itself.

From the new letter: "The CIS isn�t approving adjustment of status cases at anything close to a rate sufficient to use up even a significant portion of the quota...".
And what is IV's stand on bringing this issue up to the concerned parties? Nothing - nada - nilch. IV's simply doesn't care even if USCIS wastes another 50,000 EB visas this year. As the article suggests 50,000 is the typical annual wastage of EB visas by USCIS (600,000 in 12 years = 50,000/year).
Please take this post as a constructive criticism.

Hi,
My wife is going to apply for both H4 and H1 visa. Since marriage is in March end, she will come to US on H4 visa. Her H1 visa will be applied as if she were in India. Now her I94 will say H4. Once she gets her H1B, she will have to go out of country to get new I94.
We can go to Mexico to get it stamped and hence get new I94. If for some reason, H1B is rejected, can she still enter the US on H4 visa?
Thanx,
My advice - Bring her in using H4 visa stamped on her passport based on your H1B. The H1, even if she gets (in the 2009 quota which needs to be applied on April 1st 2008) cannot be used before Oct 2008 as all new H1s can be used only from the month of Oct. That H1B approval will come with its I-94 attached. Once October arrives, she can start working on her H1B. She does not need to go anywhere to get it stamped.
When you go out of USA on vacation the next time, she can have her H1B visa stamped on her passport.

Did you contact them?What did they say?Did you receive any EAD or AP because some people receive those even before getting receipt numbers???
Yes, I contacted them several times. They only ask you to wait more.
I also have sent two emails to DHS, CIS Ombudsman's office. They asked me to use a Form 7001.
I sent the Form 7001 to CIS Ombudsman on Nov/07. I didn't even get a receipt confirmation from Ombudsman's office.
I was able to open a service request after 5 months of waiting, on Dec/07. I'm still waiting for a reply about the SR.
I faxed a letter to the service center.
Nothing so far.
It's seems like the package got lost (as well as my lawyer :p ).
I just wanted to show you that there is more people in the same situation from July.
Hang in there!
Best of luck.

I am working for a consulting firm and my 6 year H1 is expiring on March 2012. My I-140 is approved as of Dec 2008(EB3) - pd Aug 2007. I-485 not filed yet due to PD not current.
I have a fulltime offer from my client which is a global bank and so i would like to move to them
My question is I don't have I-140 approval notice, but have the receipt notice and also can print out the status on the USCIS website. Also I have my Alien #
My current employer wont give the copy of approval.
1. With this Can I apply for I-140 based 3-year transfer?
2. Also, once I get 3 years approved and join the new employer, if the old employer revokes I-140 will I be in trouble?
have not filed 485 there is no use for you of approved 140 except you can use the PD. You will have to start GC processing again with new employer.(PERM-140-485).
You should get a 3 year ext based on old employers 140.

I dont think we are doing any wrong here. I think it helps people. People can search who are the H1B and GC sponsoring companies. You can search about lawyers who have filed H1B and Green Cards.

Hello All,
When I was doing my education (MS) my credit dropped drastically and recently like 2 years back it went for collections too. However I cleared all my credit card debts but it still shows on the credit report that as severe deliquencies and number of open accounts.
Next month I'm applying for AOS - I want to know whether bad credit will have any affect of the approval or denial of the application? :mad:
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks
Unless you dont have credit($$$$) to pay your lawyer then it will impact AOS.
LOL
It has no impact.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has launched its newly re-designed Web site (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis). Although the Web site update was scheduled to be introduced September 22, 2009, attorney Eugenia Ponce visited the site Monday and has this report:
The updated Web site is organized according to categories.The categories are displayed as Topics, Forms, Resources, Laws, News, and About Us. The topics are categorized as follows: Adoption, Permanent Residence, Humanitarian, Citizenship, Members of the Military and Their Family, Family, Visit the U.S., Working in the U.S, and Genealogy. After clicking on a specific topic, I was provided helpful information and even more additional information was available through the links on the left of the screen.The advantage of categorizing the information by topic is that individuals are now able to familiarize themselves with the process from start to finish. There are other helpful links and tools within each specific topic.
Another key feature to the Web site is that there is a “where to start” link. Before, individuals could navigate throughout the Web site not knowing where to even begin their search on a narrow issue. Now, the “where to start link” will allow individuals to begin their immigration search by narrowing it down to their specific issue. For instance, there is a scroll-down available for individuals under the “where to start” link. It states “I Am,” and one can select from the various choices available and get specific information relating to any issue.
Given the new era with text messaging (even various airline companies provide flight and gate status information through text messaging), USCIS has upgraded its site by adding a link that allows individuals to receive case status updates via text messages. The newly designed site has provided a one-stop resource center for individuals with specific queries and I am excited in navigating throughout their links. Visit the newly re-designed USCIS Web site (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis) and see the improvements for yourself.

Hello All,
I have applied for my 485 in July 2007 and I have received receipt notice for 485 application as well. I also got the appointmnet for FP. I moved to a new location and address has chaged now. If I update my address in USCIS, What are the consequences?
I still have access to the mail in my old address as my friend lives there.
Please suggest.
Thanks!!
Changing of address seems to be a simple procedure, but it is very inconsistent and arduous.
Please follow this thread.

Hi all, I need help in explaining my situation if someone can help me . Here is my info that I know
EB3 ROW
PD : April 6, 2006 (PERM)
July Filer.
i140 and i485 July 2007 (Received by USCIS Texas Center September 10, 2007)
AP and EAD received September 2007
I want to understand the process so I can know the meaning of the Visa bulletin based on my situation.
I am guessing that right now I will have to wait for my i140 to be approved first before I can talk about i485. I checked the processing time for i140 at TSC and it is August 15, 2007. Any crazy estimate when I should get the approval?
Once my i140 is approved then I can look and match my PD with the visa bulletin EB3 ROW for adjustment of status.
I know there would be some more steps than these above. But are these statement above correct/incorrect?
Thank you very much

Hi All,
I have a situation where I can not find proper information and would like to ask all the experts in this column.
I'm on H1B visa and have valid visa till Dec 2011. We are about to file I 140. My PD is current and I would like to do the concurrent filling. But I need to visit my home country next month for important engagement. And do not have time to get AP before I travel. I appreciate if you can find answers to my questions.
- Can I reenter to USA on valid H1B visa when my I485 is pending (without AP)?
- If so, Do I need to go for another visa stamping in my home country? (I have a valid visa, but was stamped in Mexico) & Will there be any issues for I485 application?
Thank you!
