Ginnu, thanks a lot for your reply, i have couple of questions,
1. will there be any benifit of transfering on H1 to company B, before the EAD is approved or it doesnt matter.
--------------------be honest do you want to work with A or B?? it is better to remain on H1, you can transfer H1 with B any time before your I-94 expires
2. with EAD can i work for both the sponsoring company and the current company, will there be any issue in the future for any purpose.
--------------you can but how will you prove Full time with A or B? and if you use EAD you cant be on H1 status
your reponse is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Be cautious in using your EAD for your full time employment coz when you start using your EAD for your full time job, you are out of H1 status.
And by some chance if your 485 gets denied you'd go out of status altogether.
I'd suggest that you remain on H1 status for your FT job and use your EAD for the 2nd job.
---------------------even if he use the EAD for the 2nd job he will not be on H1 status.
Ginnu to be honest, i would like to continue working for company A, but dont want to have any issue with the GC processing, considering my situation
my labour PD is Dec 2003
and H1 is valid upto oct 2009
i mean with the above details what do you suggest.
waiting for your valuable feed back.
Thanks a lot.
Ginnu,
company A and company B are in two different states.
I-140 is already approved through B for about an 1 1/2 year back.
I-485 was filed recently in july 2007 when it was current for everybdy even the EAD and AP was filed along with it.
------------------wait 180 days after I-485 pending and then you will become eligible for AC21 then invoke AC21 by sending A job offer letter with same/similar job duties and at that time take the help of A Lawyer or Your lawyer. Also change your lawyer After 180 days of I-485 pending and dont use company B lawyer use YOUR lawyer or Company A lawyer by sending new G28 through new Lawyer so that the past company lawyer of B dont get any documents for you( at this time dont discuss anything with employer B or lawyer of B) and file your H1 extension on time and remain on H1 status as good back up till I-485 is approved
H1 visa was stamped until 2008 oct on passport but the H1 approval notice for the company A was upto oct 2009, when i transfered to company A in begining of 2007 from company C, the stamp on the passport was through the company C.
plz do analyze my case give me the right directions to go about. it was great seeing ur responses.
Thanks a lot
Ginnu,
what would be the other option wait until the 485 is approved with company B, and work for company B after 485 is approved for 6 months, will there be any issue doing this?
thanks a lot for ur response.
-----------i mean if i dont want to invoke AC21, can i wait until my I485 is approved and then work for the sponsoring company.
-------yes, (with B as they filed I-140)
will there be any issues in this case.
------------no
Thanks a lot.
