Got an RFE to produce employment verification letter from my current employer. Yes, i changed the employer recently but didn't file AC-21.
Do you know how long USCIS takes to update the status online?
Thanks.
G.
I am assuming that your lawyer sent it by some means that can verify that it was delivered.
USCIS usually takes about 7-10 days to update it online. (for example, if your RFE response was delivered to USCIS on Aug 10, expect it to be updated around Aug 17-20).
If you do not see update after 15 days of the delivery of the RFE response, call USCIS customer service so they can track it for you.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck.

When someone says it is ok, it sure is a relief but just for clarification, what is the asnwer to be given by someone is the same situation at the POE when asked whether he is working for the GC filing company or not

From over an year, I have been working on EAD. Recently I resigned from my job, however I am still looking for a new job. I have a few questions related with EAD:
Thanks.
Yes, please fill out your profile to help IV.
1. Even after leaving the company, is it legal for me to stay in the country and for how long?
As long as I-485 is pending or approved.
2. Can I look for any kind of job on EAD or there is any restrictions?
Technically, Yes. But keep a job offer(in similar occupation as GC labor) in hand
3. Is it possible that my former employer can cancel my EAD?
No, employer has no say on EAD/AP/I-485. But the original employer can cancel I140 and that in turn would trigger I485/EAD/AP cancellation. Use AC21 to avoid getting denial.
4. If I find a new job, do I have to use immigration lawyers of my former employer to help renew my EAD, travel document etc. from time to time or I can hire another immigration lawyer?
You can use any immigration lawyer, or you can do it yourself. I have renewed my EAD/AP myself last 5 years.
Hope that helps.

I must say it made me spend some time to figure out what it is. Initially I thought it was something square floating in a container of water or a pond. Then I studied it for 30 sec. or so and realized it's a waterfall. Then I found myself really studying it to grasp what you're showing. From the "does it catch your eye and hold you" perspective, it worked for me. From the "this is a beautiful shot that I have to print and hang on a wall, I'd probably vote no. But I am going to go back and look at it a second time because I'm intrigued.

IMHO, If you have a valid H1b visa, then you need to be gainfully employed to keep the visa valid and that would mean you continue to get paid. If not, then that that is a problem. Joining the 2nd company on EAD is not a problem. Coming back to the 1st company on EAD is not a problem either. If you want to keep your H!b alive/valid, then I would suggest that you port/transfer your H1b visa to the 2nd company and when you are done with him, transfer h1b back to 1st company.
Seems like a lot of trouble to keep the h1b visa valid, but then again, that is one of the options.

USCIS website does not shows that my I-485 has been denied but instead it says that it has been sent to AAO office(appeal processing office).
No I have not yet called attorney on extending EAD based on I-140 denial.
------------------------------
Is your 485 also denied? Most of the times when ever 140 is denied then the underlying 485 also gets denied and if that is the case then you cannot apply or extend for EAD or AP until your appeal is pending with AAO. I may be wrong so consult an attorney.
BTW....did you consult the attorney? If yes, what did they tell you?

If your processing date is current, if your PD is current, and if you are name check is cleared, they most likely be processing or processed your case.
If your processing date is current, if your PD is current, but if you are name check is not cleared, and so as per new rule, they will process your case in a month or so.
If your processing date is current, but if your PD is not current, but if you are name check is cleared, most probably they will pre-adjudicate your case. So the day your PD becomes current, you will get your GC. In this case if your NC is not cleared, you have to wait another month as long as you are above 180days of NC waiting...
If your processing date is not current, but if your PD is current, I have seen people getting GC, so I believe they must have cleared their NC. But I don't quite understand this scenario...
this is just my belief from the pattern i have seen so far, correct me!

I am wondering about this because my I-485 has been filed in Texax Service Center and the receipting date is still way behind. I live in Minnesota and I need to ask my lawyer why did they file my application in TSC instead of NSC. Is there a choice about which Service Center to file applications in? Is there a possible rejection because my application could have been filed in NSC but is filed in TSC now?
Thanks in advance....

Hi
I am qualified in finance;started my career in finance & continued for 4 yrs. then switched over to SAP implementation ; for over 3 yrs now, i have been into SAP implementation projects. I have H1B approved for SAP work.
Now, can I take up a job with a different title - say, "Finance Analyst" or "Corporate Finance"? I have been talking to various clients in California that are interested in offering me finance positions.
Please fill out your profile so people can answer your query in a better way.

Please forgive me if these kind of posts are not allowed (Admins, feel free to remove this post if this is not the correct forum).
I am getting ready to apply for PIO for our new born (born in US) but one of my friend mentioned about applying for OCI instead.
The information on eligiblity for OCI in the NewYork consulate website is little confusing. My question is since me and my wife hold Indian passports, would my new born be eligible for OCI?
Also is there something called CIO (Not Chief Information Officer)?
Thanks.

Hi Guys,
I was reading another thread and a question came to my mind..
I entered in US on AP and got the I-94 with the validity date as my AP date. Now my AP is going to expire and I am not going to travel anywhere any time this year. So just wondering what will happen when the I-94 is expired. Do I have to get it renewed from somewhere or just dun worry about it. or do I have to apply for a new AP.
Can anyone can shed some light on this situation?

1 &2 Yes you can, And your status will be EAD/adjustment of status.
IO can doubt about your intention is to do business or continue work
3) This is the best strategy and I have done that.
4) Pray to god !. Hopefully it shoudl be current in next 6 months
( May be in IV we can request a separate page for the intiatives/ventures by the immigrant community.
The current Ads/Merchantise is for MNCs who can pay big money and it may not be affordable for

You are more than welcome to do the stamping in any country... just that if your name comes under TAL or any other check, you would end up enjoying that country for longer than you had intended originally...
I have been to Canada twice for stamping - no issues, just realized that they have become more strict in evaluating candidates - one friend of mine enjoyed Toronto for about 1.5 months (originally intended for 2 days).
So talk to your lawyers and be safe and comfortable :)
As said, you can go any US consulate to get your Visa stamped, I got my twice in Canada, once in Dublin, once in London, most times I was travelling on business, I know if there is somethging wrong my company and the lawer will be there. It depends on your company, I guess...

I am currently employed by a large US-based multinational firm on an H-1B visa. My 6 year limit on H1 expires on Nov 27, 2011.
My employer filed Labor Certification for my employment-based Green Card (EB2) over a year ago (on March 1st, 2010).
Since it has been more than a year since Labor has been filed, I am assuming my employer can file for a 1-year extension to my H-1B visa 6 months before it expires (that is on June 27th, 2011). Also, in the meantime, if my Labor and subsequent I-140 are approved, I am assuming my employer can file for 3-year extension to my H-1B.
Question 1: Are these assumptions above correct?
Question 2: Can I quit my job and join another firm after the 1 or 3 year extension is granted? That is will another employer be able to file an H1 petition on my behalf for the extended H1 period (that is beyond 6 years) - even though the extension was granted because of a Labor Certification filed by the previous employer?
I plan to get married to an American Citizen in September. Once I get married, I will obviously file for a marriage-based green card.
Question 3: Given the above, can I quit my job and join another firm now (before my H1 extension is filed)? What are my risks?
If I do stay with my current employer - once I get married, I am assuming that I can file for my marriage based green card (form I-130) and adjustment of status (I-485) concurrently.
Question 4: Is the above assumption correct?
Question 5: Can I also file for EAD concurrently with my I-485? How soon can I expect to leave my current employer and take up a job based on the EAD / marriage-based green card?
Appreciate any guidance.
Thanks
