My current H1-B expires on 01/4/2011. I am planning to switch to EAD in November. What is the procedure to switch to EAD from H1-B. Is there any form that needs to be filled. Please advice. My company admin and HR have no idea and are asking me to find out for myself.
Thanks.
Thanks.

VIA USCIS.GOV
In November 2010, USCIS transferred approximately 36,000 Immediate
Relative petitions from�our California Service Center to our Texas
Service Center. We anticipated that this redistribution�of work would
result in more timely adjudication of these petitions. Due to a number
of�unforeseen circumstances at our Texas Service Center, many of these
cases have not been�processed and are beyond our estimated processing
times. We sincerely regret any inconvenience�this may have caused you
and we are making every effort to remedy this situation as soon as
possible.
On Feb. 7, 2011, we implemented a rapid response plan to expedite the
adjudication of these�petitions. We have transferred a large number of
these Immediate Relative petitions back to our�California Service
Center to take advantage of resources currently available to
immediately�process these cases. Petitioners will see an action such
as an approval, denial or a Request for�Evidence (RFE) on their case
from our California or Texas Service Centers by the end of�February.
Additionally, we have briefed the Department of State’s National Visa
Center about�these cases.
We encourage you to monitor the progress of your case by accessing My
Case Status online. If�you do not see any action on your case, such as
an approval, denial or an RFE, by March 1, 2011�you may contact USCIS
at: I-130Inquiries.Tsc@dhs.gov
We remain committed to the prompt resolution of all pending cases and
will provide updates on�our progress in the coming weeks.

Hello,
I needed your advise whether i have a case to file an APPEAL to USCIS granting me 1 yr H1 extension (beyond 6th Yr) instead of 3 yr extension.?
Recently my 7th yr extension was approved for 1 year in Jul'09 with petition valid date till june'09 (date in the past) . At the time of filling the 7th yr extension, my I140 was not approved but during the processing of my h1 extension my I140 got approved and i had sent the approval copy along with an RFE i recieved in May'09.
Let me give my case background in details.
* LC applied in oct'07
* I-140 applied in May'08 after LC approval
* 6th yr on H1 ended in June 08
* had to return India since my LC < 1 yr and I-140 was not approved
* Employer based on an attorney's advise suggested to apply my 7th yr extension from India once my LC is one yr old (i.e. Oct'08)
� Mar09- applied 7th yr extension based on Approved LC (> 1 yr old ) and applied I-140
� Apr09- I-140 approved
� May09 � Received RFE on H1 extension, replied along with a copy of Approved I-140 hoping to get 3 yrs extension
� Jul09 � Received approval on H1X extension for 1 year with petition valid till Jun'09 (1 yr extension)
Appreciate your advise on the same.
Thanks,
Bikash

Hi,
I entered the US on H4 visa. Last year I got my H1b approval but my I797 came with without the I94. When I went to apply for SSN they said they need the I94. My employer's lawyer said a change of status has to be applied for that but that can be done only once I have a job/paystubs.
Is that true?
But obviously I cannot have a job when I am actually back to my h4 status right now and cannot apply for my SSN.
What is required to apply for change of status from h4 to h1?
Are there chances of it getting rejected(since we have been hearing of so many petition rejections these days)?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards

For EB3 case, after receiving the approval for I 140, I know that we have to wait till DOL Proiority Date is current to be able to file for I485.
If we decide to receive the green card in any consulars overseas, can we just go ahead and file the I485 after getting the I140 approval? (without waiting for PD to be current):
I am sorry to put it to you this way...............
but you are deep inside in a hopeless tunnel and you have delusions that there may be a hole you can escape through. Nope.

The Kentucky Consular Center in Williamsburg, Kentucky has registered and notified the winners of the DV-2010 diversity lottery. The diversity lottery was conducted under the terms of section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act and makes available *50,000 permanent resident visas annually to persons from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States.
Winners should start finding out very soon. Notifications to the randomly-selected diversity visa or "green card lottery" winners are being sent between May and July 2010.
How does it all work?
Soon an official letter from the U.S. Department of State Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) in Williamsburg, Kentucky will be sent to the mailing address that you provided in your entry. Being selected as a lottery winner does not guarantee that you will receive a visa; you must still apply and qualify for the immigrant visa. The notification letters will provide further instructions, including information on additional forms and documentation required and immigrant visa application fees.
Only participants in the DV-2010 program who were selected for further processing have been notified. Those who have not received notification were not selected. They may try for the upcoming DV-2011 lottery if they wish. The dates for the registration period for the DV-2011 lottery program will be widely publicized during August 2009.

Gurus,
I have a question. I am a July 2nd 485, EAD, AP filer and I did not receive my AP yet. My H1 visa stamping got expired, and I am planning to go to India for 2 months. Can I leave US before my AP gets approved, hoping that it will be approved in the next 2 months time and my attorney will send the AP papers to my India address?
Is it possible, please advice.
Thanks

I will appreciate input/s regarding folloiwng:
Here are the details:
Working with an employer since 2001, EB 3 PD Dec 2003, EAD in 2007, Still on H1b until Nov 10. Though have two masters (both rec'd prior to 2003) i had filed under EB 3 (no one to balim it was just me...was not proactive enough/not enough guidence from the lawyer)
With the same employer, i have rec'd EB 2 approval, want to file I 140 and port EB 3 PD.
Need help/input with folloiwng from the gurus:
1) in EB 3 application the title is "Construction Engineer" with 4 lines of scope of work clarification with bachelors degree in civil engg. and no experience requirement. In EB 2 application, we have used same title "Construction Engineer" with 4 lines of scope of work, we had left 2 lines common (as earlier in EB3 application) and 2 new lines (related to environmental engg. since i have two env. engg. masters with BE in civil engg.)......this ad asked for MS in env. engg. or similar degree with no experience requirement.
Question: EB 2 Labor is approved, i am not sure what they check with i 140 application but does above sound reasonable (not that anything can be changed...but asking for an opinion here).
2) With premium processing, how long it takes to get I140 approved?
3) Do we just file for I 140 for EB 2 first, get it approved and then file letter/application ( i don't know the procedure/protocol) asking to port PD OR do we need file some sort of paper work with I140 to port PD.
4) How long it takes to get case approved (I485) after i140 is approved?
Again, appreciated your help and Thank you in advance.

This company is a good company for GC. But you need to pay the full expense, because the rule changed recently. And they understand us very well, more employee oriented company.
Do not talk about CSC. Even though CSC is a big company, no body knows about the company. In consulting the giants are,
IBM
HP
Accenture and so forth.
CSC revenue wise bigger, but name wise not bigger company.

does your I-140 have an A#? (the newer ones, issued in the last few months) do. If so, you can try sending the inital-evidence with a note asking them to ti tie to your 485 case, mentioning the A#. If you dont have A# ask your lawyer whats the best way out (name+DOB+??).
Keep a copy of your tracking number/fedex signature proof of whatever you send.

ask to see if ur company can support the original GC application also. If they will provide you documentation that you mention in the 3rd point you should be fine.
Your company attorney's should be able to guide you more.
I think this is no different that using an EAD to switch jobs. You can continue working on H1B also - provided your company sees no need to file amended H1B .

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
http://www.immigrationvisaattorneyblog.com/PPT%20Control.pngWith all our experience counseling on immigration law questions, the attorneys at Fong & Chun in Los Angeles do not regularly get the chance to see the day-in, day-out operations at airports and other ports of entry.
Whether it is Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policy or not, I do not know, but last week, I noticed DHS personnel roaming through the terminals at Dulles International Airport in Washington, DC. They actually went to various gates and randomly requested ID or passports from OUTBOUND passengers seated in the boarding areas.
That is, they checked the documents of both Americans and foreigners who were LEAVING the USA. Not entering.
I followed them around a little bit. The officers were friendly, civil. They approached passengers in the terminal, asked them their final destinations, and asked if they could see their passports. Interestingly, although I was standing right next to a bank of chairs in the boarding area, they did not ask me for my passport, nor did they ask anyone who was standing or walking through the terminal. They only approached persons seated in the departure gate area. I did not see them detain anyone.
I have often been asked whether DHS personnel made random checks of persons in airports. I used to say that "they could, but I've never seen it." Well, I have now. --jcf

If you are a French citizen, then yes, you can get a new H1-B visa stamp at the US Embassy in Paris. But if you are a citizen of another country, then no, you cannot get a US H1-B visa in Paris. You have the option of getting an appointment and going to a US Embassy/Consulate in Canada, Mexico, or your country of citizenship.
Whether the French will give you a French visa is another question, but regardless, you will have to have a new US H1-B visa to get back into the country.
