It say multiple entries till AP expires on the document.

Your spouse will loose H4 status the moment you start using your EAD. If the she is out of status it has serious ramifactions, please consult with someone more knowldgebale if you wish to avoid serious problems ahead.

10k more won't be any issue if you job functions are similar.

I've heard of guys with just BCom degrees getting H1s approved.

What your lawyer meant was:Please don't get disappointed and go back. I appreciate you annual contributions in the form of EAD/AP/H1 renewals.

The Sword of Damocles called 245i is hanging on top of EB3 PDs after 2001 April; about 300k people applied in that category.Even if 10% of the people is from the same country quota as you are, if might be a few years before EB3 goes past 2001. There is also risk that LC substitutions might be...

You can change jobs on EAD using AC-21 180 days after you filed 485. However you are also elegible for H1 extension (with any employer)beyond 6 years if LC was applied before 6 year. If the orginal employer does not support you GC anymore, you have to start the GC process again. I am unsure if...

H1 approval is 99.99% guaranteed, for stamping overseas counsulate they may verify several documents like employers records, paystubs, taxreturns and the authenticity on job offer etc. If you have all this in order feel safe. H1 is dual-intent, so 140 sould not have any impact on H1 stamping.

With pending 485 you will get three year H1 extension, while EAD has to be renewed each year. If empolyer pays for H1 by all means apply H1. EAD has to be approved before the previous one expires -effectively only getting 9-11 months extension; with H1 you need only apply for extension before...

Remember you file address change after you move. Why would they send anything to the address where you no longer live? To let know the current residents that a great man lived there before? I thought farmers at Lincoln were the dumbest....

You can volunteer while on H4, getting paid is illegal. You can do anything as long as you do not get 1099 or W2.

I got mine after 2-3 weeks

Why? To spend more money for no benefit at all? In fact some of them are so ignorant they will file 485 with retrogressed PD only to have it returned - it has happened to people on this forum.

There is no need to apply for AP/EAD if you are on H1. Only you can judge if it is wothwhile to spend few hundred dollars each year to have EAD/AP as backup for your H1 or if you are planning to change employers on EAD. In fact, effective renewal for EAD is ony 9-10 months as you have to apply...

You are elegible to file EAD only if you have a pending I485 or MTR

There is not need for AC21 immediately; in fact if your PD is retorgessed don't even bother till is becomes close to current.

For AP it is better to eFile, you can pay with credit card (click only once as there no way to get refund from CIS)

EAD is of no use if your spouse is on H4, except it helped CIS/Attorney to get a little more richer.

If I recall correctly, NJ,NY state centers were processing LCs for over 2 years for applications filed in April 2001 alone. It took close to 1 year to move from April 27 to April 30 (28,29th were sat,sun). Sacry stuff indeed :mad:

Why should movement slowdown after Jan2002? IMO, Apr2001 is the biggest hurdle. Once they pass that, it will be more or less linear.
