This is very frustrating My OCI status shows that the documents were dispatched on 12/31/10. These are not yet received at mission / office. I tried calling the office several times, but nobody picks the phone, I sent couple of emails but no reply. I don't know when will they improve on...

I don't understand why would you want to switch to B at all when you know before hand that you cannot stay with them. Thanks

This is very much normal. In my case my FP expired in Oct 2003, but I did not receive any communication till April 2005. Thanks

Vakasree, Only thing that you should make sure is that you're not paid less than the Prevailing Wages. As long as your salary is equal or more than the prevailing wages you're fine. If it goes under then you have a problem ... other experts may comment on this. Thanks

I think you'll be better off using EAD / AP. This will save you from the hastles of extensions. Also, for your visit to India, make sure it is under 180 days. I'm not sure but I think there is some restriction on the amount of time you can be out of country. Thanks

I found Rupnet better. Thanks

I had read once on this forum (long time back) that the name check also has a validity of 15 months same as your FP. The author stated that after first FP expires and next one is taken then ckecks using FP and Name check are repeated again. Author also mentioned that the First FP + Name check...

This issue needs guidance from a Lawyer. Thanks

Raj, Its good that you went ahead with your Biometrics. GC process is one which you do not want to disturb at any cost. Now for your wife you could go to India get married in court and with the marriage certificate attach her papers with your application. I think this might delay your case...

As you mentioned here that you already have an EAD. If it is more than 180 days since you have received your EAD and your I140 is approved, then you should be able to work with another employer without any issue. You'll need to file for an AC21 which may delay your process by a few months, but...

This is nothing but common sense, you have applied for an employment based Green Card which is being sponsored by an employer. 1099 means that you are self employed, which essentially means that you are sponsoring yourself (if you choose to work on 1099). If this was acceptable by USCIS then...

Usually they send Code 1 or 3 when they are getting ready for approval, in my case it was code 3 and after this FP my case was approved within 2 months. Your long wait may be getting over my friend. Thanks

In my opinion if his EAD is pending approval he is very much safe as it is the case of extension only and his new EAD will be effective from back date, that is, one day after expiry of the previous EAD. Technically he will not be without employment authorization at all, only thing is that he...

Yes it starts at Oct 1 of prior year that is for 06 it starts from Oct 05.

I'm not surprised by the number ... after all America is a "LAND OF OPPORTUNITY". This country is a magnet for immigrants as it offers Opportunity to grow and succeed for all of its inhabitants. Thanks

I don't think it should matter at all, now with the AC21 there are several people who change their jobs even before their GC is approved. As a matter of fact AC21 was brought in to stop the exploitation of employees by employers on the name of GC. Also, any employment contract always work on...

Talk to a Lawyer.

Srikanthsiva, I don't think (though I have not traveled with my GC as yet) that the immigration officer will ask any questions regarding your employment. Obtaining GC might be dependent on your job, but after GC it is not job dependent. You are in the same boat as all other residents or...

Per my knowledge, No he cannot. I remember someone in similar situation few years back when the person was in US on H1b and his family (wife and kids) were in India, and a tax consultant told him that he cannot calim his wife and children as dependents, also he was advised to file as a 'Single'...

1. In my opinion you can, but check with your lawyer. 2. I don't think H1b approval notice is acceptable as a reason for applying EAD/AP, as I understand you need to send the copy of I485 Receipt Notice while filing for EAD/AP renewal (check with your lawyer to confirm). Thanks
