Hi, I have a green card. If I get married now how soon will I be able to sponsor GC to my spouse? If that person is on H1, and I apply for a GC, will they issue an EAD first before a GC is given? How long will this take? In between the approval of GC or EAD, will that person's H1 be...

Hi, I recieved my I-485 approval and GC as well. Is it true that we have to stick with the current employer for 180 days before moving on to a new employer? Thanks H1Advice

Thank you so much. I will read the AC21 thread in detail. My employer is scaring me well and so I was worried like a scary cat. Thanks for clearing the details. Aparna

Oops forgot to give the details. Here they are: Labor - August 2005 I-140 approved in 2006 I-485 applied in 2007 EAD received in 2007. Extend in 2008 for two years. Have it till October 2010 now. Thanks Aparna

Hello, I want to know this: I have been having my EAD since 2007 but hadnt used it cause the current contract that I was in / am in still was when I had my H1B. Now that my H1B is expiring in Mar 2010, my employer wants me to convert to EAD and still work with him on C2C basis with my new...

Hello, I am currently on H1B visa with an approved EAD for over 1.5 years. I am now planning to switch over to my EAD and start using it for the new employment opportunity. I am leaving my current employer and working with a new employer on W2. Do I have to file the AC21 form because I am...

Hello, I am currently on H4 visa and my spouse is on H1 visa with an approved EAD. He has got a job offer for which he is required to utilize his EAD. If he starts working on his EAD then he will lose his H1 status and in turn I will lose the H4 status. So in order to accept this offer my...

Hi, A friend of mine is looking for an answer related to the question below. Can someone please help her? I am currently in US and have filed H1B for 2010 quota. H1B petition is received and under process as of now. I already have a H4B visa stamped until Oct 2011. We (Me and my husband) are...

Hi, Thanks for your responses. I have a few more questions: Can I transfer my H1B to a new employer while I am in India and re-enter thru that new employer's H1B? Will this affect my GC process in any way? (in relation to my EAD and I-485) Can I apply for an extension to my H1B...

Hi, I am using my friend's account to post this question. I have H1B valid till October 2011 and EAD valid till Aug 2010. My job contract is getting over pretty soon with no extension in near-future. I was thinking to move back to India until job market gets better here (USA). However, I...

In response to your response that EAD belongs to me and not my employer: Would the same apply for I-140? Would the new employer have to apply for a new I-140 after he changes to their payroll? Just making sure that I-140, EAD and Priority Date all will remain same if he changes his...

Hi, He and I use the same Id to pose questions here. Just to make things clear I always mention if the questions are his. Thanks for the elaborate answers. This helps very much. :)

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much. That makes a lot of sense now! These questions are on behalf of my friend. Here are a few he is asking: One more question: I have a valid H1B (My 6th year to start next month). If I move my employer, can I just change my H1B with the new employer, transfer EAD and I-140 using...

So, you are saying is that I can shift my employer now without any issues? I did read through the AC-21 threads but most of the questions that were posted had I-140 approved prior to getting EAD. I got my I-140 this year and my EAD in 2007. That is why I wanted to know if I still can invoke...
