Dear Friend,
I filed 485 in June with eb3 . In December, I filed another I-140-EB2 with the same company. My attorney said she filed the second 140 with the request to upgrade my filed 485 from EB3 to EB2. Now with the new visa numbers my PD is current.
What will happen to my case? Do they hold my file until they approve 140 with EB2 and then process the file or they move with the EB3?
DO you think it is better to withdraw the second 140?
Please let me know if any one of you has experience in this case. I have been waiting 6 years for this day and now....
Thanks.

I have sent the request for renewal of my and my wife's advance parole to the USCIS about 10 days back.
Following is the list of documents that I have sent, along with a fees of $360, online (each)
- Copy of the Confirmation Receipt notice.
- Copy of I-485 petition.
- Current Status of I-485: Case received and pending.
- Copy of I-94.
- Copy of current approved I-512L, authorization for Parole of an Alien Into the United States.
- Copy of Passport.
- Two photographs.
- Copy of Drivers License.
Do I need to send any fingerprinting document?
Is there anything else that I need to take care of related to this request for advance parole renewal?
I really appreciate your help in the matter. I got the receipt from USCIS.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if its ok to mail my EAD & AP and spouse's EAD & AP renewals to be mailed in the same package to Texas? I can't find any posts regarding this.
The PO Box address for EAD is different from AP. But i think for non USPS carriers, there is only one address for Texas center (4141 N augustine rd).
So If I use this address can I mail all the 4 applications in the same package?
I am not trying to save money but feel that keeping all the apps together might help especially primary and secondary applicants...
Thanks.
My lawyer said we can use the same non PO Box address mentioned in the EAD to send the AP documents as well. According to the lawyer you can send it all in one big envelope and demarcate the I-131 vs the I-765 or do it like I am, in 2 seperate smaller envelopes and then I am going to put the 2 envelopes in the same fedex package and mail it out.

The H-2B non-agricultural temporary worker program allows U.S. employers to bring foreign nationals to the United States to fill temporary non-agricultural jobs. As of 07/16/10, USCIS receipted 30,154 petitions, toward the 47,000 beneficiaries target for the second half of the fiscal year. This count includes 28,539 approved and 1,615 pending petitions.
There is a statutory numerical limit, or �cap,� on the total number aliens who may be issued a visa or otherwise provided H-2B status (including through a change of status) during a fiscal year. Currently, the H-2B cap set by Congress is 66,000 per fiscal year, with 33,000 to be allocated for employment beginning in the 1st half of the fiscal year (October 1 - March 31) and 33,000 to be allocated for employment beginning in the 2nd half of the fiscal year (April 1 - September 30). Any unused numbers from the first half of the fiscal year will be made available for use by employers seeking to hire H-2B workers during the second half of the fiscal year. There is no �carry over� of unused H-2B numbers from one fiscal year to the next.
The H2B visa is available to employers of foreign workers not working in the agricultural field. This visa is only available for work that is temporary in nature. For H2B purposes, that means:
* Recurring seasonal need;
* Intermittent need;
* Peak-load need; and
* One time occurrence.
The employer must also prove that there are no unemployed US workers willing or able to do the work. This is established through the state's employment agency using a labor certification process. This process requires a recruitment campaign, including advertising in a local newspaper for available temporary workers. The duration of the visa is limited to the employer's need for the temporary workers. The maximum authorized period is one year. However, the employer may extend the duration of the visa up to three years -- but with a very close watch from the immigration authorities.

My husband has got a query on his I-140 now and it would take another 2-3 months before USICS makes a decision. His company is not doing well financially and we are worried if the I-140 would get denied. My understanding is, if the I-140 gets denied, the EAD will no longer be valid.
Would anyone happen to know what would happen to the EAD, if the company files a MTR (Motion to Reopen) and appeal against the I-140 denial (if it happens) ?
Thanks

If you ask them to expedite then you are talking to a wall..which means that is next to impossible. I requested them to expedite my EAD renewal twice and they refused to do so (email reply). My case is 78 days old now and the current EAD is expiring in a month from now.

If the H-1 was filed as a COS you will have to join the H-1 company on October 1, as you will no longer be on L-1 on that date. If you H-1 is filed for consular processing, then you dont have to worry, whenever you are ready you can go to the consulate in your home country, get a visa and come back on H-1b status.

I think the ability to get an emergency 90 day EAD at the local field offices if they delayed more than 90 days is still there as it is there on the USCIS web page. No???

hi,
i have a question whether to use EAD or H1B? Initiallly i re-entered into usa after finishing my first 6yr term of H1B in June 05 on H1b. Later changed employer. New employer filed my GC using existing labor (EB3) in 2006 and also filed for i-140 & i-485 in oct 2007. so the transferred h1b is expiring on 06/2009. my ead expired in Oct 2008. I am thinking of renewing EAD than H1b which i am planning to file in this month (Feb, 2009).
questions:
1. If i go back to India in Mar 09 - Can I come back using EAD (Once its approved and someone sends my EAD & AP to India) as i haven't used EAD?
2. my transfered H1b is expiring on Jun 09 and i don't want to go to Madras to stamp the transfered company's visa on my passport as i doubt to get it - the Consulate might ask me so many questions when its expiring in june why you want to go to usa for 3 or 4 months.
3. The best bet - do i need to wait for my renewal of EAD & AP and then leave?
Please let me know as my travel plans are dependent on this.
thanks and appreciate your prompt response
thank you.
I would go with 3. Wait here until AP approved and then leave the country. I didnt hear good experiences with mailing AP out of country.

I called an IO today at Texas.
Last week they told me that due to glitch they never printed my fp notice.
The IO I talked to then, said that she was going to generate one and mailed to me.
I talked to another lady today and she said that notice was mailed last Thursday! She told me my appointment is on July 26 at 9:00 am but I dont have the NOA yet.... I dont know what to do I dont want to miss my appointment
The lady said she will sent another one today..... I hope I get it, please let me know if you guys have any advice
If I'am not mistaken I feel even the Lawyer gets the fp notice check with your lawyer.

Hey Congratulations Panama !
A week's time after approval is a good estimate for receiving the cards in the mail. So expect them by April 30 :)

My efiled EAD went to TSC. I sent my copy of my approved I140 and I485 as supporting documents. I got my biometric notice in a weeks time and in a month I got my EAD card. But I guess you need not send any supporting docs because you can give your I485 and I140 number in the online application itself.

you forgot one...
start a campaign to have USCIS count the time you spent waiting for GC to be counted towards the meaningless 5 yrs wait
After 4.5 years, you can file for Naturalization. You may want to keep a tab on which companies you worked for, period, pay etc starting from the day you entered in USA, keep copies of all previous W2 in safe place. Also, prepare a spreadsheet of when you were out of the country starting from the day you entered here. All the above will be required while filling up forms for naturalization.
Visit other forums/threads to see what is required and prepare for it. you have long time to go though.
Good luck.

No you don't have to wait for your 3 year extension to return to US. Your lawyers and company are basically trying to get your three year extension so that you can get a 3 year visa stamped in your passport. But there's nothing stopping you from returning to US at any time on your current H1b.
For your second question - no you don't have to be present in the US to file for the extension .

Please help me out here.
I filed I-140 in EB2 category on September 30, 2005 at Vermont service center. I also filed I-1485 concurrently with I-140 and fingerprinted in December 2005. My I-140 was approved in June 2006. But I-1485 is still pending due to retrogression/non-availability of visa numbers to Indian nationals in EB2 category.
To avoid the retrogression in EB2 category I filed another I-140 in EB1 (since visa number is available in this category for Indian nationals) on May 1, 2006 at Texas service center (due to bi-specialization). This I-140 was approved in August 2006.
I have following questions regarding my case:
1) Can I use the I-485, which was concurrently filed with EB2 I-140 and link it with EB1 I-140.
a. If yes, where do I file my request since I-485 is pending in Vermont and EB1 I-140 is approved by Texas?
b. If no, is there any other alternative to use the EB1 I-140 priority dates?
Thanks!

Just trying to understand what would that statement indicate for next/future visa bulletins. It can be deciphered in different dimensions ie:
- all visas have been allocated and all upto priority date have been allocated (second one may not be true) .. this leads to no retrogression (or) no movement in next bulltin
- all visas allocated and not all people allocated .. which may lead to retrogression in next bulletin
There are many other combination of interpretations as well.
- all visas have been allocated and all upto priority date have been allocated (second one may not be true) .. this leads to no retrogression (or) no movement in next bulltin
- all visas allocated and not all people allocated .. which may lead to retrogression in next bulletin

Hi,
I have a pretty simple question.
A person decides to change employers, moving from company A to company B. It's been 180 days after 485 filing.
Question: what does company B have to do to legally take this person on as full time employee? Is the process any different than taking any other american resident employee? The way I understand is it is not any different.
Please advise,
Thanks,
Vlad
If you are looking to use your EAD then I believe their is a form that you fill in with your employer and off you go. Informing USCIS or not will be your choice read around in this forum to find different opinions and more info on AC21.
