Hello! I am a new member in Iowa--Des Moines. I work for a company called Proteus, Inc. and we help migrant and immigrants in areas of health, education, job placement, etc. I have also joined for personal reasons- my husband and I are "in the process." Through this chapter I hope to establish great ties and increase my understanding of immigration issues.
Have a great day all!

Hello Bpositive,
I am in the same situation as you are and have been for about 2 and a half months. I got a yellow slip and still awaiting feedback from the Consulate who in turn is awaiting a response from Washington.
It depends on when you left the US and if you received your AP before your left the US.
There was a letter published on November 1, 2007 which can be found here
http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/HandLFinalRule110107.pdf)
If you received the AP before you left the US then there is no risk in returning on the AP from what I have been told but if you did not receive it before you left the US then there is a risk of you entire AOS process being cancelled and this all depends on the officer and the situation at the POE.
Unfortunately in my case I didnt receive my AP until after I left the US and am awaiting feeback from my lawyer regarding the rule in the link.
Let me know if you find any other information
as it would help me as well.
Please..request that only those with personal experience with this respond. I have to decide in the next hour or so and have lawyer opinions already.
Has anyone gone through this?
My H1 is pending 221g admin process (Pink. possibly because I have a Phd in biology) I can't wait much longer as I may risk losing my job. Can I travel on my valid AP? I am not concerned about keeping my H1 status etc. My only concern is at port of entry. Lawyers have told me it is ok, but I would like to hear from people who have done this themselves.

Going by the trend, you have to make sure that the application reaches USCIS by April 2nd. April 1st is a holiday.
Can we send the application early, like one week in advance ?

:confused:My company has filed my I-485 and not EAD/AP on July 20th.
I want to file EAD/AP on my own using old forms and old fees before August 17th.
I would like to know if I can send it NSC where I-485 was filed or as per the new instructions given for direct filing effec July 30th as per new forms.
Can I file without recieving I-485 receipt by just using Fedex Receipt and Copy of the cheque sent. As this point the cheque is not cleared and I have not received any receipt.
Does the filing with Fedex option is for people who have filed after July 17th?

My friend SS moved to Detroit, recently from Singapore on a H1-B Visa valid until Sep 2009. He is a product owner in a multi national company there. SS moved here and could bag 2 offers based on his Vast experience and Extraordinary skills. One in Detroit, Michigan, the other in OKC. He wanted to take the offer in MI. He gave a driving skills test before Jan 22, got a TIP(Temporary Permit), joined in a driving school to learn/practise driving. As per his TIP, he is eligible to give a driving test on or after Jan 25 2008. He gave the road test succesfully. The SOS denied to give him a license since he does not have a Green Card. All his money and time for driving classes is waste. He could not drive to work if he lived in MI. Govt does not provide any good public transportation. He did not want to fight more and waste his time with SOS reps. He moved over to OKC to take his second job offer. There is no such foolish rule yet in OKC that denies Driving license to LEGAL NON-IMMIGRANT WORKERS & LEGAL STUDENTS. Michigan lost another job. This law is not good for a state already in recession and a state with unemployment rate much greater than the national average. We ask the Governor and SOS to focus on more important economic woes of the state than brain less interpretations of the laws.

Hi,
One of my friends is saying Job experience with the same company would not count towards? So this means will i have to change jobs and hope that my I-140 for the current employer is not withdrawn. Pl. advise.
Thanks,
The job experience from the same company can only be counted if the employer can prove the new job is atleast 50 % different from the current job. Please consult a lawyer before making the decision. The difference should be in job duties and not simply a move between two projects.

You can certainly maintain your H-1B status while the EB-5 immigrant visa petition is pending, though you would not be authorized to work for the EB-5 enterprise until an EAD filed in conjunction with your I-485 is approved.

It is a good sign, you are still in the system!!
(1) It is most likely 2nd F/P notice or an RFE. It could mean that your case is being pre-adjudicated.

Hi,
Here is my story, your help & information will be appreciated...
1. I am currently working for Company A on L1B.
2. I applied for my H1B through company B while I was in US, which got approved and is valid from Oct 2007.
3. Now, my Company B which filed for my H1B had also applied for a Change of Status with the H1 & I have got my Change of Status notice along with the H1b approval. This means that my status will change to H1 from October and my L1B will not be valid.
Now, my problem is that I do not want to Join the New company until December.
However, can I still work with my company A on L1B even if after October.
Is there any Solution where we can reverse the change of Status?? and will i still be able to work on L1B after October even if my status is H1B. Will my L1B be valid or it will get cancelled???
No, you cannot reverse the change of status. The best thing to do is to join company B. From Oct 1st your status is H1. If you would have applied for fresh H1 then you cud have continued to work for company A.For this when ever you want to change to H1, you should leave the country and come back on company B visa.
I'm not sure what your problem is to join company B from Oct 1st.
PM me if you need more details. I did this conversion from L1 to H1 long time ago.

Guys:
I wanted to know that if somebody has currently an approved LC and I-140(EB-3) with Company A and decided to change jobs to Company B, who would now file under EB-2.
a) Can he hold on to his EB3 priority date..though the new petition would be filed under EB-2 ?
Yes, I know a lot of ppl have asked this question in the wake of the retrogession that we are all sufferning through ?
b) If this Company B were to file for H1-B , as I understand it would count towards the 2007-2008 quota which opens on April 1st '07...does this scenario also force you to not start working till Oct'07 (which is when ppl who file in the 2007-08 quota are supposed to start working).
What I am trying to understand is that in this scenario can you change jobs and start to work for Company B without having to wait till Oct'07 ?
Thanks

Another question on the form:
In G-639 form, Should port of entry and date of entry be the latest one or when we entered first time in the US?

wow that was quick! I hope you're right that the Master's cap isn't related to the educational level of the job. On the other hand, I just talked to a friend who was sponsored by a big company that does heaps of h-1b's, and they got him to apply under the regular cap so it would be easier...

Thanks for the link GC_ASP.
Health insurance is a daunting concern, esp. in times like this. One suggestion is to think about High deductible HSA plan. This plan will work best for People who are healthy and have no health issues, but want to cover for the unexpected emergencies.
For example, I opted for 0/1500 plan through Kaiser Permenante. This plan will allow you to roll over the extra $s into next year and from next year to the next, etc. You will build an account (and I think can invest the money to grow it further). You can use the funds from the account that you built over the years to pay for future expenses. But the catch is, they will pay for your claims only after you spend the first 1500/Yr. Basically, this is an option to control how you want to spend for your medical expense.
Like I said its good for healthy adults. For children this may not work, because they might need more medical care than healthy adults.
Cheers!
