    Changing Job after getting GC-EB11 (urgent help needed)

    It may become a problem when you apply for citizenship. Anyone know if it becomes an issue when the 10-year renewal of the card comes around?

    Travel with Green Card and Expired Passport

    It is the prerogative of the country you are entering whether or not to let you in with an expired passport. In other words, it depends on the mood of the officer processing you at the port of entry. Having a Green Card doesn't mean you get the same rights and treatment as a US citizen; rather...

    Passport Question

    A passport is no good except for leaving and re-entering the US. The only reason you would need to keep it valid is if you need a visa stamp in it. So what if they ask you to show a passport. What matters is whether your status is legal or not.

    I-485 and H1b

    You should extend your H1 because it will allow you to leave and re-enter on H1 status or bring over dependents on H4. You can't work for another employer, though. You're not in "double" status; you are in H1 status. If you do use your EAD to get a second job, only then will you no longer be in...

    Derivative got approved not principle

    I wouldn't worry about it. My daughter's Green Card was mailed out to her in March, my 2 other derivatives in April, while I didn't get mine until May.

    Can I start with a new employer and my GC sponsor all at the same time?

    Will your H1 transfer be approved before 12/1? If so, you can start with your new employer on 12/1 but... no, you cannot continue to work for your old employer until 12/14 if you do so.

    Full Time on H1 and Part Time on EAD...

    The H1 ties you to a single employer. The EAD allows you to work for another, e.g., one or more different employers, on either a full- or parttime basis. If you set up your own company and do any work for it, the company becomes another employer. The implication here is that using the EAD to...

    EAD and H1

    If you use your EAD, your H1 is toast; you cannot be working on a single H1 for two or more employers. Since your H1 is toast, you cannot leave and re-enter on your old H1 (which is now toast) and revert back to H1 status. That's why you need an AP. The H1 is a 1-way street, ladies and...

    Done

    I received an email of approval on 5/1. Then they sent the card to my old address of 2 years ago, although I filed the AR-11 as required. Interestingly enough, all correspondence since the move were directed to my correct address. And, no -- I did not do anything to prod my case.

    Let's create an online meeting place where we can talk !

    first suggestion that comes to my mind is to spell it right: p.. u.. r.. e.. unless, of course, puer does have a meaning.

    I wonder how CATDOG is allowed to start new threads

    It is my point that you are missing. On one hand, we have catdog goading everyone with his inflammatory posts. On the other hand, we have you, and you seem to be singularly obsessed with quashing him. Yet you seek the consensus to silence him. "Never argue with a fool because, after awhile...

    I wonder how CATDOG is allowed to start new threads

    Why don't the two of you meet somewhere and then just punch each other out? Winner comes back and posts all he wants. Seems to me that you both have that level of maturity.

    HUNGER STRIKE due to retrogression

    There doesn't appear to be a category for "stupidity" in the Guiness Book of Records.
