Dilemma
10-22 05:42 PM
Hello -
I am in sort of big dilemma. My Background:
- Single (not married)
- Currently on H1-B valid until Dec 2011.
- PD July 2007. Company A
- I140 & AOS filed concurrently in Aug 2007. Approved I140 (June 2008) & AOS pending. EAD & AP since Dec 2007.
I am currently working (full-time) for company A who started my GC process since last 3+ yrs. And lately I am realizing that my growth opportunity in terms of salary (more importantly) & career is very limited & been looking out lately. To an extent that I feel so frustrated that it has started to affect my social behavior.
Recently, couple of other employers have shown interest in me which align completely with my future goals. But, the problem is the following:
- they dont do H1-B & willing to hire me on EAD. Hopefully, AC21 should not be a problem as the prospective job will be in the same area.
- I am currently single planning to get married in a year or so. I want my spouse to have an option to be my dependent ie H4.
So, I have following questions to experts here which will help me decide what option to take:
1) Shall I go ahead with new employer & start using EAD ?
2) My GC doesn't seem to get approved for another year or so. Is it worthwhile to keep the option of my spouse being on H4 open & get myself frustrated & spoil my career in current company?
3) Can I move to EAD -> H1-B later? Maybe once I move out of this company A & join company B on EAD either company B or some other company may be ready to file H1-B petition ? This is just to open up the option of my spouse get H4.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance...

Hello all:
Applied for 140 transfer TSC June 2007. Have not heard anything since, I mean absolutely nothing. Is this due to the backlog?? I am starting to get worried as I checked my status and all it says is, the received date and that when there is update they will let us know.
Did any of you apply 140 transfer in TSC around that time? Any news on those? Any case that it could've been lost?
Big question to the experts is, what do I do to make sure they are working on it and my application is in queue.
TIA!!
What do you mean by transfer. You can not transfer I140, you can only port the PD.

For my canada trip (by car), CBP-Us just checked my H1-B approval (passport had old exprired visa) and they let me in.
I think it's true only for entry by road.

Hi all,
I am currently out of USA.My new employer has submitted H1 Transfer and extension of stay.
The petition has been approved along with new I-94. I have the original I-797 with me .
I understand that we have to surrender I-94 before leaving USA.But in my case I got I-94 after I left USA.Now I need to go for visa stamping in India.
Should I submit the new I-94 to the US consulate in India?
Please advise.
Thank you

Hi Guys,
I have recently got married and entered US on AP, I have not used my EAD and started working for the same employer (GC sponsered). My wife is going for H4 Stamping in US consulate in India. Does any one has any experience? Do you see any problem during Stamping.
Thanks in Advance.
-Abhi
As long as you have a clean immigration track record (no out of status, continous pay) - your wife should not have any issues in H4 stamping and there may be administrative delays (like PIMS and etc), which no one has control over it.

Guys:
Does anyone know what is the current count on H1-B Visas left for the year 2006-07 ?
I know I may sound stupid and probably the answer is that it is already complete, but wanted to confirm.
Also, when would the next years quota become available and when can one start working at the earliest ?
Is there any other way to file for H1-B now and work..?
Thanks
Quota is already used up!
You may start applying as early as April for employment beginning in October.
Other way to file for H1B is to find a cap-exempt employer such as a non-profit.

Hi,
I'm in H1B visa and my visa was valid until 26th October , 2012. Recently, I went Bangladesh and US embassy stamped visa until October 23, 2011. When I returned US, Immigration office issued me I-94 validity until September 23, 2011. Now how long I can stay in US?? Do I need to apply for H1B visa extension or I will go to Canada or Mexico to apply for new visa or if I go to Canada or Mexico and return back, they will issue me a new I-94 until Sep/Oct 2012. Any one please suggest what should I do?
Your stay is legal until your I-94 specified date. You can get it resolved by INS or go out of US and reenter (which may turn out to be faster). And this time while entering make sure Immigration officer puts right date on your I-94.

Thanks for reply...
do we need to file any other form along with i-130.
like i-864 or is this needed at a later stages.?
Thanx in advance
No. You need to file only i-130 and attach required docs like Birth Certificate etc.
we need to file I-485 (Adjustment of status) when the date is current which happens after long wait...

There is an error in the article.
It does not say that H1B workers lack any courage and will power to stand up for themselves. They lack unity, are narrow minded and cannot work together. Their high education works in their disadvantage because they use to fight within themselves. As long as they cannot stand up and support their own cause, it is good news for anti-immigrant organizations.

You can't use both .
If you use EAD then h1b will be invaild.
You can ask second employer to apply for part time h1b visa.

I140 pending under EB3, non premium category with receipt date 2/1/07.
I have worked for my current company for 6 years. Currently in the 7th year of H-1B with 1 year extension until March 08.
I want to change jobs due to dissatisfaction with current work, and also due to possible future restructuring within company.
How can I change companies without having to go back or live overseas for 1 year and start the process all over again?
Thanks,

A friend of mine told me that we do not have to pay Social Security Tax while working on EAD. Does anybody know if this is true ?
That would be a huge plus in case its true.

I am on F1 status in US, My parents are green holder..... I am also planinig to do PhD..... can i apply for green card now....?..... If yes..... on what purpose and with what requierments...?
You can not file GC based on your F1 or your parent's GC. Either you should go for family based or employment based.
Family based - your parents should have Citizenship (may you need to be under 21)
Emp based - You need to have job.
or marry US Citizen.
