dyingforgc said:jbond:- your attorney is not providing you correct info. don't blindly trust/follow your attorney's advise, atleast on this front HE IS WRONG. One of the attorneys didn't know about "Automatic Revalidation" eventhough there is a clear cut telegram on department's website. What I meant to infer is, attorneys' are not always correct.
It would be wise for you to send your wife out of US and have her come back on unexpired I-94.

Somebody spotted N in Canada but another guy has posted an email communication from a DOL officer (not Mike) which says that he was arrested and he cannot reveal more on that.
EAD and AP rejections have finally come for us.
I received a call from some ass**** saying that he can save my status and he is willing to do my perm ... provided I join him. I said F***Off.
Can somebody confirm N's arrest. UN, how can we find out if he was really arrested? How can we track that case? I want to feel good for once.
tammy2 said:His plain assumption is Pending AOS is also a status like F1 or H1. By using EAD spouse went into Pending AOS status why can't she come back to H4?
But Pending AOS does not work that way simply because it is not a visa rather authorization by attorney general to stay in US. So neither COS nor EOS are applicable in this context. Person needs to go out of US and come to get on to the one of the statuses.
In case of an RFE for W2 during the I-485 USCIS may catch this error. Even using nunc pro tunc may not be possible in this case.
I do not want to advice him because he has already decided the answer. Moreover i am not an attorney.
unitednations said:Worse case is you don't join the new employer until h-1 gets approved with new I-94 card. With premium processing it should take more then two months.
Or
go to another company.
lostbattle said:Thanks blocklisted2000 and UN.
UN,I am currently on a project thru my future employer at client site. How can I wait for 2 months before everything gets approved. Once again I am out of status then.
Please advise on how safe it is for the new company to show Sep paystub with XYZ co name whereas my H1 is thru CST.?Cant they just use July,Aug stub?
I have long way to go before my 7th yr extension, so i am not worried on that front.
unitednations said:a lot of the cyber employees have contacted me regarding various issues. Some of the people I've built relationships with and I can generally tell when someone is credible or not.
Two people confirmed to me with their conversations with Mike that he had been arrested.
Now that being said; this case is big enough that immigration custom enforcement will issue a press release on the arrest/indictment of him. However, as of yet they have not done so.
I find it hard to believe that someone just bumped into him in Burlington, Ontario (remember I'm canadian). The person who posted this is probably a company insider or someone who is just plain cruel in trying to toy with you.
As I have stated repeatedly, there is so many violations of law in this case that just about every government agency will have a crack at him/company. DOL, department of homeland security, irs, etc.
I'm not sure about this part but under some parts of law; the government can seize personal property and any money that was used from ill gotten gains that was given to other people to buy property, etc. I know from personal experience about this because I was on the other end one point in time. I had lent some money as a second mortgage for some people to buy a property and the government later seized the property because it was bought with drug proceeds. Even though I was a secure lender, the government used the part of the law to seize it (note this was not in the name of the drug dealer but that of his sister/father).
Therefore, I wouldn't give up with contacting DOL/government agencies. If you don't you will be the loser. Once the government pieces everything together they will have every one of your names. They will know about you whether you contact them or not. Therefore, if you think you are harming yourself by contacting DOL, you are sadly mistaken because they already know about every one of you. It is better for you in being able t o collect money later if you proactively contact DOL.

I am one of the person who already got approved I140 long back(More than 180 days) and Revoked in Oct 1st week.
I saw some of your postings mentioned that MTR will not help any way( All this are dead cases) for this company and other desi company also.
I am curios to know few things,
1. How the USCIS approve the I140 Petitions. I140 Petitions are Employer Based, what information USCIS will look before approving the I140.
2. In 2001 and 2002, Lot of companies laid of the people after applying the I140 and 485( Both are in Process). How they got the green Cards later, Where is the Bonafied job?.There is no position in the Employer company as t mentioned in the Labour certificate as they already laid off the people.
Is there any way we can argue this things to USCIS.
I saw lot of your posting, Everything is informative.
How do we need to approach USCIS.
tammy2 said:The difference between This company and other companies is fraud. Revocation or Denial after reconsideration is done on the bases of fraud .
In case of the other companies there was valid offer at the time of filing I-485. Here in this case USCIS is arguing that there was no job since beginning. That is why I am pessimistic.
Talk to some one like Shusterman. He has reversed so many cases with bad decisions.
Hi UNunitednations said:The issue is that to use ac21 portability with h-1 to begin employment with another company, you merely need to file an h-1 with the new company. However, you don't need to wait for it to be approved to begin working.
to be able to use the portability, you should be in a valid h-1 status. If you are not in a valid h-1 status then you can't start working just by merely filing for the h-1 transfer. You would have to wait for it to be approved.
Many lawyers advise companies that before they bring you on payroll, they should assess whether you are in a valid h-1 status. The main wait to prove this is that you have recent pay stubs. Companies think that if you don't have recent paystubs then you may have not been maintaining valid h-1 status and you are not eligible for portability just by merely filing for the h-1. They think they will get in trouble and employ you illegally.
Now, other then recent pay stubs, if you can provide USCIS evidence that you have been maintaining valid h-1 status then you should be fine and get a new I-94 card and start working as soon as you file the h-1 transfer. But, how do you prove this; well timesheets, letter from your vendor, etc. These are all secondary type of evidence. There is no one fit for all to prove this.
