Hi All,
I just joined this site today and wanted to get some input on the following situation:
My current situation is:
Working for a company ABC
completed 6 years on H1 and currently in the 7th year extension
Green card in process for more than a year - Eb3 with PD Jun 2002, I-140 approved
Can extend H1B again in about 6 months, for a 3 year extension
The question I have is , if one has a valid extended H1B for the 7th year and beyond, what happens if one were to lose their job during the extended H1B period, without getting their GC?
1) Can they continue to stay till the end of the extended H1B period by applying for a job with another company?
2) Or should they leave the USA as the first 6 years have been completed without getting a GC, and the extended H1B period would become invalid as soon as they lose the job with the company that processed the extended H1B?
Any input is appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Applications were sent to NSC on July 19th' 2007. I got my receipt numbers today and all three numbers (I485, EAD & AP) start with WAC ### ### ####. The online status for the applications say that the 485 application was transfered to Texas Service Center and the EAD & AP applications were sent to Califorina Service Center.
Also just fyi, my I-140 app. is pending at NSC since Dec' 2006. So now I am all over the country :-) Don't know its good or bad. Any idea anyone?
Best of luck to all....

Thanks for sharing the link, I will go through this.
It is not about money. I have absolutely no problem giving even 100$s per month for the cause if I know how my hard earned money is being spend. Actions like deleting threads, banning users just for asking reports, makes people uncomfortable. Have you seen the financial report at Eb3 Chinese Financial Report - ��›-�‰�-��Œ�š秿�-‘�•�-‹信�‰˜�Ÿ��‡‘ (http://www.eb3chinese.org/5.html).
BTW, Hari if IV doesn't show you the links to donar forum, how will you know what you are missing ...
just my 2 cents.

Guys and gals,
My AP application entered in the system on Sep 13th at NSC - what is the likely approval time these days for AP.
I have vacation plans but i've very slim H-time left and that too not stamped (its a extension) so i have to have the AP at hand before leaving. I can't book tickets because i dont know if AP wil at all come before my Journey date.
Any advise or experience sharing would be a big help. Is there any way i can rush/expedite my AP application from NSC ?
Thank you so much,
Diptam
Check my signature. The AP approval time is approx 3 months to my best knowledge

If IV core can help us to set these meetings up and also provide suggestions/ideas, I think with 50 participants, we can convey what we want to. If EB2 folks are also joining us, we can seek support from compete America and have representation from them as well.
We should keep this very low profile - meaning:
1. No high demands - shouldn't ask to make EB3 I current in October
2. Shouldn't compare or discuss EB2 I and C
3. Shouldn't complain their (USCIS/DOS) work style or inefficiency.
4. Don't compare us with illegals.
What we should be discussing:
1. Reference to EB3 I 2001 and 2002 cases and possibilities with new VISA flow structure
2. Difficulties in using AC21/EAD to switch jobs
3. Very importantly - how they view EB3 I dates not moving forward in the last few years (besides last july) and what their plans are to address it (besides passing a legislation)
4. To give us some direction in planning for the GC wait - by providing us how many cases are pending with break-down year wise - will indicate that people can make their own decision either to continue GC process or give up and go elsewhere (we will not demand GC but seek information to enable ourselves to make a wiser decision)
5. Their game plan if a legislation does not pass, say, for the next 2 years. Can they make some changes at administration level to help us? Like relax EAD restrictions?
These are not high demands but fair enough questions from aspiring immigrants who are in the queue as long as 8 years!!
We will send letters to President, Immigration sub-committee, DOS and USCIS chief, CHC members either before or immediately after the meeting.
The intention is not to come back with GC for every EB3 I but atleast make a representation and seek some quality information from them. Also, give them the feeling that we may not wait forever.
If these ideas are stupid, my apologies.
I strongly believe nothing like meeting with people in person.
And, if we are doing this, we should do this as early as 1st week of September.
Thoughts?

Yes, unfortunately the clients (mostly US based ) react quickly and negatively to such news because much work happens offshore. The board members of the client organizations are bound to raise questions about reliability of doing business with such a company.Due to this new contracts may be hard to come by.
I feel sorry for the employees.
oh..is that true..
I tired to read economic times and couldnt understand how much they cooked.
sucha big scam..employees will be on the edge now

I think it was Collin Powell that help passed the 7th year extension and one year extensions there on if LC is pending for a year..this was passed since there was a crisis with delay in LC adjudications....so we are at a point that we need such a relief soon...we are heading towards such a crisis point..soon...EB releif should happen soon...I think this was a single issue that was handled and relief provided and EB matters should be handled in a piece meal manner....(I may be wrong may be it was a part of AC21)...also oppenents are saying why piece meal handle when CIR is in place to delay any kind of a relief..
Some of us here are under the grand illusion that
(a) the lawmakes consider relief for skilled immigrants in isolation to be an important enough issue that they will make it a priority
(b) Relief for EB immigrants is totally non-controversial and everybody and his brother will back us.
Both assumptions are dead wrong. If 900 of the biggest companies and universities in america cannot convince congress to make SKIL bill a priority, then you know what a formidable challenge lies ahead of us.
As for EB relief being non-controvesial, I only need give one counter-example : S 1932.
We are all desperate for any relief : I repeat ANY. To think that the core team would be so shortsighted as to only pursue grandiose bills like CIR and not be on the look out for smaller relief measures is naive and severely underestimating their intelligence.

though I agree there is no grace period however practically USCIS has not been rigid about the dates. MOST of the employers do not inform USCIS about firing of H1b. During dot com bust, USCIS has 'unofficially' said that 15-20 days are good enough (again not as a policy decision but informally). It should be avoided, however it may not be always possible, and having few days gap should not be something on which you make life or death decision.

Guys we are still in the game, and we have to be untill the bill (even in the current form) passes in the house. If you remember S.1932 was trashed by the house, so thing will get more hectic for us and certainly for each of you once the bill get passed in the senate. We have to keep all the sections related to EB hitech workers afloat.

Even though i didn't get my GC yet this info is helpful.;)
PD : 2005 Oct. I-485 Still pending :confused:
Hi guys,
...
followup post:
I think there is a mix up here between two things:
180 day clock does start on the first day after filing 485, but that is for the purpose of AC21. Once you use AC21, then the next employer assumes the role of "your future permanent employer" and you should have "intent to permanently work for that(new, not the sponsoring) employer" AT the time of GC approval.
If you use change the employers 7 times using AC21 before your GC gets approved; you should have "intent to work permanently for the latest employer".
You are not bonded slaves. The only issue is that the "burden of proof" of proving the intent to work for such and such employer is on the GC beneficiary and not on USCIS. So in future, if USCIS questions (or CBP questions), it is YOU who has to prove that intent.
One scenario where you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROVE IT: if you never worked for the sponsoring employer.
One scenario where you WILL NOT HAVE A PROBLEM PROVING IT: if you worked with sponsoring (or latest AC21) employer after GC approval for some duration (60 days?? 90 days?? 6 months?? 1 year??)...no law on this.
This is the whole purpose of Labor Certification process and I140. And it applies to the categories of EB2 (except NIW) and EB3--any category that requires LC.
This is from my discussion in following thread:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/sh...ad.php?t=20403
I just put it here so that everyone would not have to try the link and may be this information is useful to someone.
Good Luck.

Mr. Vayalar Ravi , Minister of Overseas Indian Affairs,is coming to USA on June 27,2006. He is coming to Washington DC on July 4 to meet Indian Ambassador and Indian community. We should try to meet him personally and explain the problems we are facing. He can talk to US counterparts and do something for us.
Let us organize an event to meet him on July 4. Since It is a holiday, lot of people can meet him and chat with him.
Any comments from IV Core Team ? Can we contact Indian Ambassador to arrange a meeting with the minister ? is it possible ?

Also, If they have really mentioned INS, I bet they don't even know what AOS or pending I-485 is, because agency INS is no longer there but your wife's international office officials mind is still stuck in 2002.
I need urgent advice from you. As you know my wife is on F1 visa and completed most of her credit hours needed by school. She has get only 1 credit hr to complete the course. However, that�s below 9 hr full time student status. She has been asked to register for additional 8 hrs..and pay tuition fee accordingly ( > 8K). Which I think is unreasonable. They told her that if she doesn�t register by tomorrow they have to report it to INS. She told them that she has EAD..there answer doesn�t matter in order to remain in school and F1 visa she has to register.
My questions is:
1) Can she continue working on her Thesis on her EAD and AP ?
2) What will happen to her f1 if she use EAD
In response to these questions my Lawyer said
1.) yes, she can continue to be a student as an adjustment applicant � she can work using the EAD and travel using the AP.
2) she is basically no longer an F-1 because she has demonstrated immigrant intent by filing the adjustment. Which is fine � she has valid legal status as an adjustment applicant and can work with the EAD and travel with the AP.
What do pro�s think..:)

thx very much for the reply..
but about my F1 status I140 approval, is it a violation ? Can I submit I140 while I am still in F1 status?
Thanks again for the reply...
Since I140 petition is for future employment, it shouldn't matter that you were on F1 when it was filed. However, you may have a problem with adjustment of status. You may have to do consular processing if you are still on F1. But since you've changed to H1, I don't think it matters again. Could you consult an attorney or pose this question at the next attorney conference call?
