Hello all, I know at least some of you are anxious about EAD. So am I. Starting this thread to see what's going on with it.
This is NOT receipt tracking. Just want to track who got the final EAD card.
Please include:
Date you filed,
Receipt Date,
Service center,
If EAD received, date which you received
If still waiting, Last Update Date
My/My Wife's case:
Date Filed: June 29, 07
Receipt Date: July 25, 07
Nebraska Service Center (not transferred anywhere, I think)
Still Waining, No updates since receipt, stated LUD (Jul 28)
Thanks a lot

My case is as detailed below, and my questions follow:
PD: July 2007, EB2 (India), Software field
Labor, I-140: Approved, I-485 etc. NOT filed.
H1 Petition and Visa valid until: Jan 2011 (after 7th year extension)
Currently outside US, NOT working for the H1 sponsoring employer.
My employer has NOT revoked my H1 or I-140.
I was working for the employer in US where the GC process started. Then moved to Canada in early 2008 when the PD was highly retrogressed/unavailable. Since then, worked in Canada in related field for a different (Canadian) employer. Things have been tough here: lower pay, very high taxes, friends all in US, and especially - the weather. We would like to return to US.
I will soon be able to apply for Canadian citizenship. I am in a dilemma now - whether to return to US on H1 NOW or to become a Canadian citizen and try my options LATER. I have the following questions:
(Same employer, as Indian citizen, knowing that I did not work for them for over 2 yrs, and was outside USA):
1) can I now(or anytime until Jan 2011 visa expiry) return to US to work for the same H1 sponsoring employer on the existing H1?
Yes...you can as long as your employer is also supporting you
2) would I be allowed the H1 extension in Jan 2011 based on approved I-140? Or is that doomed to be rejected because I was not working for the employer in between for over 2 yrs.
GC is for future employement and it should not affect. You are already out of the country for more than a year. So your 6 year limit is reset now.
3) Would the fact that I was out of US for 2 years help me get a "regular" extension?
I believe it should not have impact as the six year clock is reset and you also have I-140 approved
4) could I continue the GC after a gap of 2 yrs while I was not working for the employer?
Again, GC is for future employment.
5) if yes, will my PD of July 2007 be maintained?
Yes, if I-140 is not revoked. Different attornyes have different opinion about revoked I-140
(Different employer, as Indian citizen, knowing that I am currently out of the US):
6) if I get an offer from a different employer in US, could the new employer do an H1 "transfer"? i.e. would I need to wait for the April 1/October for H1 application/visa and would it be counted against the yearly H1 quota - or - can the new employer do the H1 "transfer" immediately?
If your H1B is not expired, you can do transfer. I am not sure about the limitation if the H1B expired.
7) For the H1 "transfer", would I need to produce US paystubs for the last few months (which I cannot, since I am not in US)?
You may need to provide the W-2 for the years you were working in the US
8) if the new employer applies for my GC, could I re-use my old PD of July 2007? If yes, would the profile need to be exactly the same as the previous Labor/I-140?
You can retain the PD if the I-140 is not revoked. No need
If I become a Canadian Citizen:
9) if I become a Canadian citizen, (my H1 would have expired by then) will I be able to return to work on H1 in US for the same or a different employer as a Canadian Citizen?
Its upto you and the sponsoring employer.
10) could I reuse my PD of July 2007 when working for the same or a different employer after changing my Citizenship? Would the job profile need to be the same?
Citizenship will not affect your PD
Also:
11) is it possible to switch the GC processing to "future employment", although the Labor/I-140 were approved with the understanding that I was to continue working for the same employer?
12) is the H1 visa/Priority Date of approved labor/I-140 carried over when the individual changes citizenship - from Indian to Canadian?
NO
13) when do the dependents' citizenship come into the picture in the GC process? If I continue to be an Indian citizen but my spouse becomes a Canadian citizen, will my approved Labor/I-140 be affected in any way?
It wont untill your spouse born in different country.
Please help me in getting the facts so that I can make an informed decision in this dilemma. Any help appreciated.

I think you make some very good point about funding. I see some people complaining how a lot of members aren't contributing. I think it is plain naive to expect everyone to contribute.
People can be divided into three types:
1. People willing to fight what they percieve as injustice.
2. People who complain but do nothing about what they think is unjust.
3. People who accept injustice as part of life.
This isn't just about immigration. It could be any issue. Most ppl want someone else to do what's needed. They don't want to spend time or money. There will always be a few ppl who are active. If you belong to category 1, don't expect everyone to belong there.
The other aspect IV should consider is broadening the goals. IV has done good work but the core focus seems to be retrogression. Tens of thousands of ppl have cases rotting in BEC for 3-5 years they are not going to contribute to an organization that will put them at par with ppl who filed for labor in the last couple of years. It goes against human psychology.
Just my 2 cents....
--for you only.please read below the reply posted by fellow member franklin--
First off - I have contributed, but here is an explanation of my initial reluctance to do so and possibly why I haven't contributed more than I have, since you asked.
I have often been offended by the tone and bias on this board, when it is plainly evident that the majority of power posters think their own situation as being the only thing that should be resolved, alienating others as a result.
Don't tell me to donate by spending less money on stuff that culturally I never do, or refer to people that I know little about - all for cultural reasons. It was this thread that spurred me to contribute, and ironically, this thread that also offended me first. I still haven't forgotten that.
Wonder how else you alienate people? Try posting in a language that isn't English.
Regarding the recent pledge drive in particular, it gives me a nasty taste in my mouth since it stings of hypocrisy that I can't get over. A similar one was attempted by a member here (which I signed up for), using the ""I will donate $10 monthly to Immigration Voice for one year but only if 1,000 other people will do the same."
That effort, although endorsed by the core group, got 88 people to vote, and was criticized in these very forums as being a waste of time, or not the proper way to do it. Of course, fast forward a few months and now look...
I also find it distasteful to have to read through threads that could be of some importance or value, but find that good chunks are just "Hey, look at me, look at how much I contributed"
So, since I'm all bitter and alienated , why did I actually contribute?
Every time I get annoyed or offended by someone's insensitive or cultural narrow mindedness, I try to ignore it and remind myself that that single person does not represent the values of the core group and this organization as a whole. It gets challenging.
Please don't flame me, I am trying to be honest

I think you can get a letter from employer stating that they can not employ you any more. I am not sure if they issue a letter to every person that loses the job. Just make sure that your intention to work with the sponsering employer is documented somehow .
I have an idea here ... just write an email to your boss or HR stating "how good company has been to you and how they helped you with your immigration process and given a choice you would rather work with the same company"
Take a printout of all these emails and save them if you still have a chance. You can use all these to prove if you run into any problems during the naturalization process.
Apart from these things collect the news paper clips or company wide emails that talk about downsizing. These things should help you to prove your intentions if there is a query about your intentions at the time of naturalization.
If you think company will survive for 5 or 10 more years , just keep in touch with your HR
I got a letter saying they can not give me my job back dated 5 days after my approval.
I show up told them I was approved, they say sorry we have not sold anything on those 3 months, we are doing bad, cannot take you back.
They dont have any problems with it and I can wait 10 years to become a citizen if that is what it takes.

appealing/motion to reopen doesn't allow you to stay in USA.
If employer revokes 140 then no basis for getting h-1b extensions.
Agreed........but if you will have to go to appeals if your case is legit to be reopened/reconsidered and be approved...........for any other reason if at all its not goona be approved........you cant get any visa for USA.........hence this low probablity case will be for those who are in good standing in terms of immigration else - go back to the home country..........
If employer revokes 140 you have to show USCIS that the new job which you took is indeed same/similar and you qualify for an approved 140. I can get you more information on this but you might just want to check Ron Gotchers website for detailed information.........there are so many different situations where nuthing would happen or you just get in trouble if 140 is revoked so we cant really generalize this....

Hi Experts,
The question i've is:
I heard from my Immigration Lawyer that,from November 01, 2008, any person who works in Information Technology (IT) and who has Advanced Degree from USA like Master's is eligible for EB3 Category only and not EB2 category. Please confirm if the above statement is true or not.
Thanks,
Abhi
EB2 or 3 depends on the Job requirements primarily... you could have a masters and be working for a job that requires a bachelors as minimum requirement then you are only going to get an EB3 (no exp example)

I keep on hearing about cases of 2000 and before. Good luck to your friend. I am with PD Sep 2001 and I am too mentally prepared to wait for more years..:D
I recently came across an old friend of mine. I was shocked to hear his case. He is an original applicant EB3 India with PD of September 1998. Please note he is the original applicant and this is not labor substitution.
Here are the details
Sep 1998 : Applied with Texas Workforce Commision as regular Non RIR.
Oct 2001: TWC asked to do recruitment. No action was taken on submitting results.
October 2006 : Labor finally approved from Dallas BEC. Concurrently file I 140 and I 485.
Jan 2007 : I 140 approved.
Nov 2007: Took Infopass appointment. Was told case pending name check.
This case is absolutely amazing. My friend doesnt care anymore since he recently married US citizen (genuine case ABCD). He has worked at the same company since 1998 and stuck to stupid job (non IT). My PD is August 2001 and seeing his case I am getting mentally prepared for much much longer wait.
Thanks

Well currently I live in MN and I have lived in NY before. Both states issued me DL valid beyond my I94 expiry. However in both cases they include "Status check <date>" in my DL, where <date> is the date on which my I-94 expires. So in either state once you go beyond your I-94 expiry date they can cancel your DL.

Accepting I-485 without PD current also needs legislation...if you don't know about that already !
Good news could only be this. Accept I-485 and issue EADs. Country limit cannot be removed that quickly. I think a legislation needs to be passed to be in effect. What say??

Congrats for the painless Visa stamping.
If you are on EAD before leaving US, you better to continue the same status. Their might be a situation for USCIS considering giving up your AOS, if you enter US on H1b while you were on EAD before leaving US.

I have EAD for couple of years & when I moved to Ohio, I was issued 4 years DL. They did look at I-94 (I travelled on AP having one year validaty on I-94), also they DID NOT looked at my EAD expiry date..They asked very simple question - Do you have your SSN? Thats it..!
C'mon...Guys, come to Ohio..you will get DL for 4 years..
Where did you get your DL renewed for 4 yrs? Mine was renewed only till my I-94 validity period.

Greencard and H-1B expenses should be paid by the employer. Anything else is illegal. I am requesting admins to close this thread.
Do you have any reference (a legal text) stating this?

1) Sep 16 2007 to Apr 2008 is > 6months so you cannot apply for 797
renewal to get a new i94 indirectly.
2) Currently your status is H1 , if you use AP then ur status will becom Parolee and if you use EAD then "???"
I think of these solutions...
1) Exit and Enter the country to match with your 797 dates.
or
2) Talk to your employer ,find a temporary employer to switch your h1 and switch back to your current employer. ( do premium if necessary ).

Higher salary should not be a problem at all. Important thing is, the salary should be equal or above the prevailing wage at new location for that job classification at that position/level. PW also a survey of wage by DOL. It does not mean that one should not earn considerably more than average. Lets see an hypothetical example,
A young Software engineer joins microsoft using AC21 and dates Bill gates son/daughter and marry him/her. Bill gates increase that person salary to 1 million, but he/she continuously doing same SW engineer job. In that case 1 million salary should not be a problem for AC21, because it is higher than PW in seattle.
(Dont ask me why not if a person marry Bill gates son/daughter they can come in family category)
As per the current guidelines adjudicating officer makes the determination based on Department of Labor SOC/O*net code in the Labror Certification Application (ETA 9098) form. ( It's very critical to have a copy of LC application, before considering AC21. If you don't have it through employer, you can get a copy from DOL through FOIA request )
DOLs SOC/O*Net gives the job description for the Job code as well as "same or similar" jobs (if you search on your SOC/O*net code)
http://www.onetcodeconnector.org/
Here's an example - http://www.onetcodeconnector.org/ccreport/15-1031.00
This is the website IOs are supposed to be using (as per guidelines). Becoming a Sr. Software Engineer from Software Engineer shouldn't be an issue. Salary hike beyond 50% could (or could not) be a problem based on the IOs sole discretion. 50% is just a ball-park assumed by most immigration attorneys. In reality, there is no such preset limit. It's entirely upto the IOs decision.
Promotion as manager is a tricky situation, as Job description changes. IO may consider it 'same or similar', or consider it altogether different. In such cases it may be possible to prove the jobs are similar by obtaining an 'Expert Opinion Letter' from an expert in the field ( such as a Professor of Computer Science from a University).

Salary hike beyond 50% could (or could not) be a problem based on the IOs sole discretion. 50% is just a ball-park assumed by most immigration attorneys. In reality, there is no such preset limit. It's entirely upto the IOs decision.
Promotion as manager is a tricky situation, as Job description changes. IO may consider it 'same or similar', or consider it altogether different. In such cases it may be possible to prove the jobs are similar by obtaining an 'Expert Opinion Letter' from an expert in the field ( such as a Professor of Computer Science from a University).

I am in a similiar situation. My 485 was approved and my wife got her physical GC but I did not get mine. I took Infopass and the IO raised a SR. My case is from CSC to NSC. I got a response to the SR that my GC was sent and it might have got lost in mail and to file I-90. I called uscis customer rep, talked to 2nd level IO who mentioned that my card was never created and he will raise a SR mentioning the same.
Today I got 2nd FP notice mentioning that I did not give FP for the first one (I gave FP ahead of the scheduled date and verified with FBI if my prints were uploaded or not) and to appear for FP on Jan 11th, 2011. I spoke with a IO on the day this FP notice was sent and IO asked me the date I gave FP and he mumbled some numbers and checked something in the system. He said he had fixed the issue and ignore the 2nd FP. He mentioned his name to me. I should have taken his extension as well. I hope I get the card now or else I need to take Infopass. I emailed nsscfollowup with the scanned copy of the first biometrics notice which has the stamp from the ASC last week only.
I have n't contacted senators and congressmen yet and did not email the scopsscata yet
