Read the next thread about the GC approval for a former NIWer. I think I interpret it as it is written; that is, one can freely change employers as long as the evidence exists for the 5 year completion. But there is a twist to the story..... This was a VA facility, and I assume the fellowship...

NIW, retrogression and activism The regulations, I believe, are clear on this... that one can work in any capacity once 5 years are over. However, the final adjudication rests with the immigration officer assigned to your case. As is often the case, there are grave inconsistencies in the...

I think you are right..... i stand corrected, using EAD does invalidate H1-B. but you can renew the H-1B after being on EAD, if you decide to revert back.

I am in a similar situation, NIW completed 9/07, but stuck in retrogression. My PD is 8/04, so it may be a while (it was soooooo close- April 2004- who knew that it would be pushed back 2+yrs???) I guess if you are from India, CIS figured....5 yrs is not enough.... the 'banwas' has to be 14 yrs...

frustration, thou art retrogression I'm not sure how AC-21 would be applicable here; The I-140 is self petitioned, so the requirement is for you to complete 5 years in "National Interest" (i.e in a HPSA, etc) If you change jobs before 5 yrs are up, you will need to find another employer...

Great place to work, in WV. I have spent 5 peaceful years with the same employer, and I am getting ready to leave. WV state J-1 contact is easy to work with, and will give NIW letter quite easily. Anyone interested send me a private message or respond to this. Jupiturn

If you can route any moneys you recieve in remuneration for the medical directorship position, through your employers payroll and then onto you, the medical directorship should be OK. As long as you do not recieve a W2 from the nursing home, you may participate in any additional administrative...

can I move after 5 yrs? One of the statements on the memo reads: "......an adjudicator may exercise discretion to deny employment authorization or an adjustment application if he or she believes that the physician is using the pending adjustment of status application solely as a means for...

I have completed four years on NIW and have a pending I-485. H-1B is valid through 7/2008. I have an EAD, and have applied for its renewal. I am from India, and am a victim of retrogression. Q1) At the completion of 5 years, can I move to a regular job, considering that I have an EAD Q2) Is...

I am in the fourth year of my employment (H-1B), doing my J-1 waiver. I opted to go down the NIW route, I-140 approved April 2004, I-485 pending, AP, EAD in hand. While doing all of this, I missed filing an I-485 for my wife. (t was an oversight on my part to not put in her I-485 with mine.)...

I have an approved I-140/NIW dated April 18th 2005. I submitted I-485, recd by VSC on August 18th 2005. I have already recieved the EAD and Advance Parole documents. In which way does retrogession affect my situation? At the end of 5 yrs, can I use the EAD to change jobs? Thanx!
