ask to see if ur company can support the original GC application also. If they will provide you documentation that you mention in the 3rd point you should be fine.
Your company attorney's should be able to guide you more.
I think this is no different that using an EAD to switch jobs. You can continue working on H1B also - provided your company sees no need to file amended H1B .

Looks like an interesting option for those in health care if you speak Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, etc. to get US citizenship within a few months without going through the green card process mess...

Any idea on what the chances of being called for active army duty might be within the 6 year period you are enlisted?

If you are already in US, you don't need DS-230, you need to file I-485 instead.
I-130 is an alien relative petition filed by your spouse on your behalf. I-130 has a question if you want to "adjust status while in the U.S." or go through "consular processing at an American post abroad".
If you plan to "adjust your status while in the U.S." you use form I-485. I-130/I-485 can be filed and adjudicated concurrently.
If you want to enter the U.S. as an immigrant ("consular processing" you file form DS-230 Part I with the National Visa Center and later DS-230 Part II with a consular officer at a consulate/embassy outside of the U.S.

Hi pkrg21,
So before I-485 becomes current, as long as I-140 gets approved, then we are okay to lose current job, either laid off or change job? I think I-140 approval doesn't take long, right? It's just I-485 takes forever?
I'm quite new to this process. My employer just filed Labor Certificate last week. I'm also a little worried if my employer goes bankruptcy some day.
Thanks,
~ray
No the process must be completely restarted if you loose your job after I-140 approval.The only thing you get is the priority date.If your I-485 is already applied and it is pending for 180 days then there is no issue and you are safe.

Dear Friends,
This week, Tom Tancredo's Presidential Campaign released a new anti-immigration campaign ad, linking "Islamic terrorists" to immigration. The ad received national coverage, with Tancredo making appearances on CNN & Fox News. Here's what the press had to say:
"You can't deny that this is the politics of fear" - Fox News
"New Tancredo ad a sad case of fear-mongering" - Denver Post
"Tancredo ad plays fear card" - USA Today
Tancredo's Presidential Campaign plans to run the ad in Iowa. His demagoguery will not get him votes, but it will spread fear and misinformation that hurts the prospects of reform for all immigrants. That's why we need to make sure his ad doesn't make it to Iowa.
Go to: http://www.immigrantslist.org/tancredo
We're not going to stop the ad by attacking Tancredo, but we can ask local network affiliates in Iowa not to run it. Sign the petition now at http://www.immigrantslist.org/tancredo .
After you sign the petition, forward this to your friends & family. We need to get 1,000 signatures on the petition now!
Thank you for all that you're doing,
Drew Seman

I have 2 H1B Transfer questions for clarification.
1. Can H1B Transfer be filed when H1B Extension is pending with the current employer?
Yes, a transfer could be filed while an extension is pending. This is the so-called anchor transfer. However, the transfer would be denied if the extension petition is withdrawn before the transfer is approved.
2. Do i need to have copy of I-140 approval notice for H1B Tranfer? The current employer does not share this document.
The 140 approval notice is not required unless this is a post six year transfer/extension.

If the exec is laid off, the dependent cannot continue working.
All beneficiaries of the petition must leave the US immediately.
I don't think there is any regulation that the employer needs to pay for relocation, but usually, they will provide you a one-way ticket back to your homecountry, but that will be the least of your worries.
Avoid working on L2 if you think the L1 sponsoring company is not trust-worthy or stable.
An L-1 work visa is issued to an executive of a company that has worked with his/her company outside of the USA for at least one year. Dependents receive L-2 visas and a spouse can apply for an EAD. Trouble is, if the exec is laid off, all of the dependant visas immediately expire and both the exec and his/her spouse must leave the USA!
Any ideas how to alleviate this issue? Getting a H1B visa is impractical since they are so scarce.
Also in this case, is the exec's employer liable for relocation expenses?

I'm a US Green Card. I am eligible to apply for my citizenship but have run into a technical issue. I registered to vote in August 1999, but never voted. It was my 2nd semester at a community college in Chicago and the professor was encouraging everyone to register to vote. Taking his advice I too registered to vote not knowing that I was ineligible. I did sign the form which states "I hear by swear (or affirm) that I am a citizen of the United States..." Unfortunately I did not read the fine print before signing the application. As it was not my intension to vote, and I merely did it on the request of the professor, I did not vote.
In 2005 I switched from a F1 to a H1 and in 2006 married a US citizen with whom I have 2 little kids. I am now eligible to apply for my citizenship, and would like your professional opinion on how I should deal with this situation.
To ensure my voter registration application was in fact processed I did request the �Chicago Board of Elections� for a copy of the application. I am also in the process of requesting them to �de register� or �cancel� my voter registration and provide me with a letter stating my voter registration has been cancelled and that I have never voted.
I would really appreciate your help.

I am working for Company A on a full time basis on H1B and part-time with Company B(non-profit) on a concurrent H1B. I filed for my GC with Company A and I-140 is approved and applied for I-485 and got EAD/AP also.
My H1B with Company B is expiring and the 6 year term will end on December 31, 2009. I am planning to apply for H1B extension for this H1B and the company attorney says I can get it extended based on Company A I-140 because it is a concurrent H1B. How far is this true? Can I extend my Company B H1B based on the approval on Company A H1B?
Thank you in advance.

U.S. companies are also clamoring for more H1B visas to allow foreign software engineers and other skilled workers into the country.
The 65,000 visas allotted for 2007 were taken by the end of May last year, months before the end of the fiscal year in September, said Jack Krumholtz, the head of Microsoft Corp.'s government affairs office. It is also difficult to get permanent U.S. residency for foreign workers who would like to stay, he said.
"This is becoming for high-tech companies a huge retention issue," Krumholtz said. "We will start to see highly valued tech employees emigrate back to their home countries."

Nebraska Service Center mailed I-131 approval notices for me and my wife on 28th Oct. But we never received them. Its been a month now. So, I called USCIS today morning and they say I need to reapply for I-131 for my whole family because some one else might have picked it up.
I called up post office. They say they have no mails on hold.
Is reapplying the only way out?
This happened with me with Texas service center. They insisted they had sent it. But in reality they never sent it. I was told the same "You need to apply for a fresh one. That is the only way out of it." I was determined not to pay fees a second time for no fault of mine.
Details below. (Not sure about NSC though)
