I was wondering if I am out of luck, and what my options are.

Facts:

a> H1 (6 years) expires in Feb 2004
b> i485 has been submitted for 60 days
c> Received EAD card
d> Got Laid off..


Can I use the card for work ? Do I still need to do an H1 for a next employer ? Is this GC process dead, even though the former company says they will have a job for me, after 180 days ?

What do I do ? Thanks !
 
1. You can use the card for work.

2. You can use H1B visa or EAD - upto you.

3. GC is not dead for you. Find another job ASAP with Salary >= your salary shown on LC if you are going to go on EAD.

My suggestion would be don't go for EAD - be on H1B and apply one more LC for safe side(in case something goes wrong - if you have to fall back on something - fall on LC and not on rocks (or did I mean to say - On the Rocks?))

You lucky brat - I envy you.

:cool:
 
Thanks, I do see some light at the end of the tunnel.

I was told that I could not use the EAD, because 180 days has not passed since the application was sent in. Also if I get a new job and do transfer H1B, that that could also complicate things.

This is soooo confusing.. but thanks for your response, I see a glimmer of hope somewhere.

:confused:
 
Refer to this thread too.

ImmigrationPortal Forums > ImmigrationPortal.com > US Immigration > Immigrant Visas (Green Cards) > I-485 Issues > I-485 Portability (AC21) > IS AC21 better than the GC ?

Surely will help you.

I envy you - you lucky brat!!!

Thanks Again, not sure what that thread had to do with anything, but you really made me feel somewhat re-assured.
