This signature waived is normal because of something having to do with when they scan the card, and if your signature is there, then it could cross the line where the machine scans your card. So I have heard from others online in these posts this is valid since August 1 FOR EVERYONE and your picture is there, so this is not an issue. What I am wondering about is why is this EAD only valid for one year when first it was valid for two years, why have they changed this? And if your i-485 green card case is pending, and you have gotten your i-765 EAD in your hand do they approve your i-485 green card fast? SOMEONE PLEASE RESPOND

mallu is right. H1B status expires immediately when a person stops working. An employer is required by law to notify the USCIS about a lay off and the USCIS revokes H1B as of that date. There is no grace period, so the only chance to preserve H1 status is to find a new job and file H1B transfer BEFORE the lay off. Preserving I-485 is a different story and you are in a good shape regarding GC. Just find a new job, use EAD and stop worrying about H1 status. It does not worth the hassle and you may not get any benefits from H1.

I don't know if I didn't understand this right but one of my friends came to U.S like 5 yrs back in 2002.
Never left the country fo far.
She came on H4 and at that time her I-94 was till Apr/2005.
She got H1 in 2004 with new I-94 till May/2007.
Got her H1 extension( with new I-94 dates.)
The I-94 she got at the port of entry expired but her employer told her it is not a problem as her H1 has a I-94 with new dates.
I know in your cases(s) you have passport expiry thing. But I guess it's still the same right. I gues your H1 will have new I-94 in it .So what is the descrepency?
Please let me know .
Thank you.

My BC does not contain my mother's name. I am getting an affidavit from my parents to support my BC. Do I also need a document from Municipal Registrar similar to what is needed if Birth Certificate is missing? Thanks!
In your case, you have the birth certificate, so you don't need to submit the non-availability certificate. It is better you contact your municipal office and apply for your birth certificate with your mother's name included.

But even with primitive PD's if visa nos are not available, things will still be the same. What say abt 6 yr old pd's in EB2...namecheck removal doesn't help!!!
But atleast with PD of March 2001, I have some hope, esp mine is in NC presently.

I have been through this situation and now work for consulting company. Actually I got layed off without notice in 6th year of my h1b with Labor pending in backlog. I had no resources, tools and no one gave me any consultations, everyone told me "go find another job". In 20 days I found myself a 6 month contract assignment and had a consulting company transfer my h1b and they also applied for my 7th year extension based on pending labor from my layed off company. I went for stamping at Chennai and was through, applied for GC through EB2 PERM and got my 140 approved also and now I just got used to consulting and this is my 3rd contract position with the same company and I earn 50% more than what I was earning 5 years on my fulltime job. Now that I got used to consulting, I would want to think twice if I have to get a fulltime job offer on h1b. Everything is so customozable in a good consulting company , like moving charges, allowances, expenses, traavel expenses, can be worked out in good faith.
In general, there is an unofficial grace period of atleast a month, stretchable to 2 months based on case to case and worst comes, if a job hunt exceeds 2 months, then your new job, they may give you a h1b approval but you have to get it stamped immediately as they wont attach an i 94 with it, I have seen this happen to people.
In your case, as you already have an approved 140, you have to smartly get copies of all your documents and look for a genuine consulting company, get letterheads and keep contacts with some good friends and have them give you an experience letter and move on. You can get 3 years transfer and also retain your PD. If you qualify for eb2 in new company, then you can port eb3 PD while you take advantage of eb2 movement.
Good luck

[QUOTE=beppenyc]The problem in French is different. They bring the immigrants from Africa and North Africa to work to build the subway, La Defense (ask yourfriends),Eurostar ect ect. French has a controll of the number of immigrants, is not so difficult. The problem is that they put the immigrants living in the ghetto (Banlieu) and to not give any hope of future. When all the big project were done, they forced to sent the immigrants home, but without success. If you are really interest to see what is the reality in France, get this movie made in 1997, LA HAINE....
Yes, this is not a linear equation that illegals take American jobs and Amecans do not take menial jobs because of lower pay. If Americans were ever to take such jobs, and pays were higher, it would add to inflation, as beppenyc correctly points out. You have to be able to think strategically to understand this.
Now this issue about fairness for the legal immigrants. Normal wait time for this process is 5 to 6 years, if you are lucky. Which means that lives of such people are on "hold." They can't be promoted, accept salary increases. This is "tacit" exploitation. 5 to 6 years is a long time in US where things are more dynamic. How unfair. Also, per the law any social security they contribute will never be credited back to them because they have to work for atleast 10 years, the work visa duration is six year. Skilled workers make reasonable salaries so this is a huge amount of money which thay might never see.
Perceptions maybe far removed from reality. One of them is that immigrants will continue to bear injustice in US while globalization takes its toll on US competitiveness because of populist measures, that will hurt it in the long run.

I believe the H1B status ceases after the date of your termination ( i.e. you stop working for the H1 sponsoring employer ). That is the zero tolerance policy of USCIS. Now, one should use AC21 and notify USCIS before the I-485 is approved ( with previous employer as sponsoring entity ).
please don't post information you are not sure of. unless employer withdraws H1 there is no way USCIS can know of this. (Employers are not legally bound to file for H1 withdrawal) Also I would like to know the source of your 'zero tolerance' policy in regards to H1. In fact they forgive upto 6 months of 'unauthorized' employment when processing I-485. (http://www.murthy.com/news/n_nscuna.html). If they wanted to have 'zero tolerance' they would have forced employers to withdraw H1 or atleast inform USCIS of layoff.
Also you say "one should inform USCIS before I-485 is approved'. Again this is wrong information.
Please do not start fear mongering based on incomplete information.

is that this bill will easily pass also the House. The problem is that the Speaker and the house leader has some agreement that the only bill that goes to the floor must have the majority of the republicans votes. That is the reality. I am positive that if nothing happen this year, it will happen next year if the house will go under the Dems.
The reality is that a little group of republicans (not even conservator, Mc Cain and Flakle are conservator and you see their opinion) are agianst any type of immigration.
on 630 KHOW (Capliss & Silverman).
Congressman Udall spoke at length how the conference committee is formed, how it operates and how decisions are reached.
One thing he said is particularly noteworthy. He said, he reads his fellow congressmen and the mood of the House, and at this moment there are 300 congressmen (out of a total of 525) willing to vote in favor of the senate version of the comprehensive immigration bill as it is.
As I said in my posts elsewhere in IV, let's keep our eyes and ears open for the opnions of representatives and follow up on that.

My 485, EAD and AP application received in NSC on AUG 2nd. My personal checks are not redeemed yet. I haven't received receipt numbers or EAD or FP.
But the USCIS receipting times states NSC is processing receipt notice for AUG 8th.
I don't know what's going on....
Do they transfer my case to TSC??? Because I am living in TX???
My employer office is in Illinois and my lawyer office is in Michigan.
My I-140 is filed on Mar'2007 and still pending in NSC.

At what point of GC process you don't need your lawyer anymore? Is it true that after filing I-485, and if everything is smooth with ur case, you don't need lawyer.
One more question, at 485 stage , if there is RFE/NOF, does USCIS inform you or your Lawyer?

So sorry to read that story. I wish that family had gotten the help they needed at the right time. I wish he had talked to someone.
You've ever heard of kamikaze missions help by Japanese pilots during world war 2?
They were suicide missions to bomb American targets (like Pearl Harbor) knowing very well they will not come back alive. They would crash their planes into enemy targets laden with a lot of explosives.
Go figure!
In civilian world, there can never be a valid reason to take someone's life. The only exception I can think of is self defence. Or while defending someone who is under attack.
Military or any armed force is different; War is different.
People involved there are trained to follow orders. Their commanding officers give them orders to kill someone, and they follow those orders without question.
War itself is a sorry state brought upon the human kind by humans ourselves. And unfortunately, the commanding officers in charge of an armed force see even the men/women who make up the force as only a means for their objectives; and they use them as they deem necessary.

My point was that it doesn't matter. It represents $1000/ per person, hardly enough to make a dent in poverty. We need sensible labor laws, a pro-business attitude, and that money will return to India.
Dude this huge money can change India's future .Consider that National River linking project, all high-way and Railway projects

Imagine if this happens in real time we won�t be fighting for GC here these westerns at our door step.

Please don't travel thru countries that impose this ridiculous transit Visa requirement on individuals, especially from India. Ask them to justify the charges, and you would get no response from them.
So, even if takes to spend $200 - 300 more, AVOID these crook countries that charge Transit Visa. People we must send the message across. In this century, I think its Indians that are traveling the most on these trans-atlantic-asia route, and collectively avoiding these 'snob' countries would send a very good signal.
If you are buying the transit visa, your dignity is at stake. Its like saying buying insurance for a person who is poor. They dont charge for countries that are more developed. so, AVOID AVOID these countries.
I am traveling to India soon, and I am going thru Brussels not because I got a cheap ticket, but because there is no transit visa required there.
I had to apply for UK transit visa last time I went to India (air india). This time I am taking non-stop Chicago to Delhi. I agree about avoiding countries that require transit visa.

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.
I am the same as you. I would rather trust IV than an Immigration lawyer, and we don't have any other viable option. Every member here is a high skilled immigrant and there is no public Company or business doing this.
I saw the website, they are probably the only ones giving details , and if I recall they haven't achieved anything until now (maybe co-related?)
IV has details for all previous years and in the video they have given justification. Most other Advocacy groups are run by lawyers not immigrants. None of them give a day-today expense report. I have also learnt the hard way what the priorities of immigration attorneys are.
many of them have spoken in favor of Illegal amnesty as it would increase their business while almost ignoring us.

Hello All,
I have a valid H1 (I-797, I-94) till 2009, but my H1 Visa on my passport has expired in 2005. My wife has a valid H4 till 2009; similarly her H4 visa on her passport got expired, we haven�t traveled outside of US from then. Now she is planning to go to India next month because of some family urgency and she is planning to take an appointment for H4 visa stamping in Chennai consulate (India). My question is, is there going to be any problem for her stamping as my Visa on my passport has been expired even though I have a valid H1 I-797 till 2009?. Is there any rule which states primary applicant has to have valid visa on his/her passport for H4 stamping.
If any one of you had a similar situation please share your experiece, it will be very helpful.
Thank you for your help
The issue exista only if the H4 attempts to enter us when the primary applicant is not already in the us.
