Resh1208, Depends. If your H1B validity begins before October 1st, then you can enter the US on that exact date, but not before. If your H1B validity starts exactly on October 1st, then you may enter on October 1st using H1B visa. Yes, of course. As long as you don't have immigration...

The controversy is in regard of the second (currently pending) AP. The rules stipulate (well, in my interpretation, anyway) that any pending AP will be deemed abandoned if the beneficiary leaves the country, but we've seen a number of examples when it simply does not happen. In your case, if you...

You need to transfer your H-1B back to Company A. During transfers visas are not "nullified", they just change ownership. H-1B visa is a property of its petitioner (e.g. the Company), not yours, you know.

Shop around. Usually not only prices do vary, but also available appointment times, and time it takes to complete tests.

INS Memo on H and L Visa Holders Traveling on Advance Parole 4. If an H-1 or L-1 nonimmigrant has traveled abroad and reentered the United States via advance parole, the alien is accordingly in parole status. How does the interim rule affect that alien's employment authorization? A...

AFAIR, different divisions deal with EADs and APs, so uneven processing dates is common. There's a very good point to it, indeed. You don't have to have an EAD in order to travel on AP. Under certain circumstances, you can use AP for travel and still retain the original H-1B visa (not status)...

Technically, the described "future employment" should be doable. However, application of AC21 for "future employment" is problematic. If the new company would offer you current employment (why don't they, anyway?), it would bring the case into more or less normal AC21 limits. Without current...

starfire, you have an option to consult your immigration attorney in regard of the worksite change. AC21 is not applicable in this situation (you continue being employed with the same employer), so your LC might bind you to your current worksite.

What's the point? You would have to explain verbally why you did change the job anyway, so why bother writing a letter? This is one of the actual benefits of in-person interviews (as I see it) - it is a dialog, so all non-documentary issues can be resolved easily and quickly right there on the...

I believe that you are missing a point here. The point is that AC21 does not apply at all, as you continue being employed with the same company. As AC21 does not apply, your LC binds you to your current worksite. Unless, of course, the LC was designed to accommodate multiple worksites (including...

The current EVL should be enough, indeed. If you will be asked why you are not currently employed with the original sponsor, you can always cite AC21 verbally. Have you thought about taking your attorney with you?

Not to worry! This is pretty standard situation and properly documented, too. Your pending I-485 protects your status, all right. Just turn in the expired I-94 on leaving (keeping a copy of it for your records, of course). When you are an adjustee, all you really have to worry about is the...

raj1975, I don't believe that your wife will be able to benefit from her approved I-485 anymore. Had she had an AP, everything would have been fine, as AP allows re-entering the US after I-485 was approved. Conversely, H-1B and H-4 do not. What you need to do now is definitely talk to a...

I don't believe that I-864 applies at all to employment-based I-485's. Neither to the primary applicant, nor to the derivative(s). Why do you ask?

The Form I-551 stamped in the passport, provided that it is not expired, should be sufficient to re-enter the US. Also, you might get a better response if you post your question in any of the "Life after the Green Card" forums - http://www.immigrationportal.com/forumdisplay.php?f=43.

That is unlikely, unless your friend have gotten his Green Card through marriage to a US Citizen... I guess this is how the urban legends are born ;)

Is there actual hard evidence of employment history verification with the Green Card sponsor at the Citizenship stage? Or is it just another urban legend? chempto, could you get back to your lawyer and ask him/her how exactly the employment history is verified for employment- based Green Card...

Yep, that's exactly what I meant :) Sit tight, buddy. Everything will work out just fine.
