Approved 140 The attorney may give the original only to the employer. You can request for a copy from the attorney or from the employer. May be you can request your employer for the original and they might oblige. How ever you only need a copy of the approved 140 for filing your 485...

Documents required Hi annoosa, Could you please list out the documents required for filing 485, EAD and AP. Or give the link to any official web site giving these details? Thanks

Priority Date sfmars My understanding of this clause is that once a priority date is established on an I-140, the PD is for that particular alien beneficiary to keep. If he/she quits that company and moves to another company either using AC21 or without AC21 the PD is his/hers tp keep. If...

PD of substituted LC From my personal experience, dsugandhi is right. Last month I got my 140 approved based on a substituted labor cert and the priority date recorded on the 140 is the PD of the original LC itself (not the dtae of filing 140)

Great News Byrd Amendment defeated in Senate ..... 85 votes against 14

For filing I-140 you don't need pay stubs and you need not be working for the employer filing 140 (because GC is for future employment as per law). However the company will have to provide tax returns or audited balance sheets which should prove that the company had enough profits or surplus...

Options My understanding is that the PD should be more than one year before the completion of the 6th year. Then even if you get PERM LC certified now with company B you may not be able to use that as the basis for 8th year extension (you MUST clarify this with an attorney). If that is the...

Unfortunately the numbers are totally different. However I have stopped worrying about this, because I got a substitute LC and got my I-140 also cleared. Again being one among the thousands of unfortunate souls the indefinite wait for the great day to file 485 and EAD has started.

My case was originnally filed as RIR and when it went to Region, it was remanded to state. The surprising fact is that my attorney and employer got the 45 day letter with the ETA number as shown in my signature line, but when I requested a screen shot in August, the screen shot shows a different...

If the old employer withdraws your LC application or uses it to substitute for another person to process 140 then you will be in trouble. It will be safer if you stick around with your present employer till your I-140 is approved and then move to the new employer. Mean while there is no harm in...

What is 221g? Could some one please explain what 221g is? Thanks for the info in advance.

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.

You can transfer your H1 to your new employer and also apply for 7th year extension only if your present employer keeps your LC application active. If they withdraw that application or substitute it for some other employee then you cannot use that LC for your extensions. Since you have 1 1/2...

June 2003 approvals Three of my friends with PD June 03 got approval mail on Friday. All RIR cases filed on same date from same company. Other details not available.

Yes

After 140 After I-140 is approved, you have a little bit of safety but not 100 %. You have to continue to maintain your H1-B status even after 6th year until you get your EAD(which can be applied for only along with 485). After 140 is approved the priority date of your LC becomes your...

Hi Seeklabor Seeklabor I have some more suggestions: If you have a good relationship with your previous employer, then once your LC is approved request them to file I-140 and wait till it gets approved. Once that I-140 is approved the priority date of Nov 03 is yours to keep. Use that old...

Second employer I am not an attorney and my comments are not legal advice. They are just my understanding based on what I have read in the different discussion forums. Please contact a qualified attorney before initiating any action.

Priority Date Once the 140 is approved, the priority date becomes yours. You must keep a copy of the 140 approval letter with you. You can use it for H1 extension in another company also. But you will have to start fresh LC from the new employer for getting your GC.

Substitution after filing 140 Yes. It is possible for the employer to withdraw the 140 and substitute the LC for another employee BEFORE the 1st 140 gets approved. But, once your 140 is approved you keep the priority date even if the employer withdraws the 140. (Only thing is you must keep a...
