Is it really possible to move back to H1 with a new company from EAD, in case 1> you have approved 140
2> you have not used the entire of 3 year extension that you received b'cos of approved 140,and started using EAD.
I am not sure we can do this.
I ran this past my attorney before I moved to EAD and he believed it was possible. He was not sure if the H1 approval will come with attached I-94 or if I would need to leave the US and return to activate teh H1. However what is certain is that the H1 approval will come through, as I would meet all the requirements. On what basis can they deny the H1?

For I-485 Applicant, it is not of much significance.
At POE, AP is stamped for one year (with I-94), but when it expires, it does not matter. One can continue working on H1 or EAD. And if someone is in USA on H4 (and not working on EAD) also remains in vaild status.
So there should not be any reason to worry, however, as suggested by "kshitijnt" better to get in touch with USCIS and let them do corrective action as required.
Please post your experience afterwards.
S/he has to have an unexpired I-94 to stay in the country. It is not about AP or EAD.

After July 30th, you have to pay the higher fee, but you will get free AP/EADs for the entire duration until adjudication.
So, it's up to you (and whoever is paying for ur EADs).. you can decide appropriately.
I'm sorry, I think I misspoke.
From the USCIS memo posted on AILA's website (ref: http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22912):
USCIS�s announcement today allows anyone who was eligible to apply under Visa Bulletin No. 107 a full month�s time to do so. Applications already properly filed with USCIS will also be accepted. The current fee schedule will apply to all applications filed under Visa Bulletin No. 107 through August 17, 2007. (The new fee schedule that becomes effective on July 30, 2007, will
apply to all other applications filed on or after July 30, 2007).
So I guess, the old fee will still apply even after July 30th for 485 filings.. and I guess no free EAD benefits will apply either. Sorry if I caused any confusion.

Did you get any receipt # in the mail or from your lawyer before calling them to ask for the checks to be cashed?
Because they are refusing to enter a "service request" for my case unless I provide them with a receipt # (Which I didn't get, that's the reason I am calling. This is like a closed loop. I am calling because I didn't get anything receipt yet, they tell me I cannot do anything if I don't give them a receipt #, it's funny, isn't it?). They don't accept my tracking number from USPS express mail as a proof of receipt.

This one...I sharpened it. Hope you don't mind.
I was afraid to sharpen them too much. I thought that would too make much noise.

I received RFEs from my attorney and mine is on BC and my wife's is on Marriage Certificate + marriage photo and USCIS requested me to submit non avialability ceritifcate. I do have a BC with all the details but registered date is oct,2007 (That's when i applied for BC) instead of old date.
Is it a problem ? Do i have to submit anything more
Please advise
Thanks in advance
It needs to with in 1 year. Can we get a non-availability certificate stating there no BC registered with in 1 year of birth date?.

I have visited India with old Employer Vis a Stamp. We just need to show the new I797 approval notice. They will update I-94 with the new date.
But if your visa expired, then you need to stamp. otherwise should be fine...

Did u take Infopass appt. for EAD & AP together...? On the infopass form once fill only one receipt # right..?? My application was recd. by USCIS on 7/7...90 days is from recd. date...isn't it..? and not Notice date.? 90 days will be up for me by tomorrow 11/5..I still have no EAD & AP..! Can i take EAD & AP appt. together on same day for Infopass.? Or should i call USCIS reg. my case...Thanks..!!
There is no option in infopass to take both ead and AP. I took the one for interim-EAD , but like I mentioned above, this tuesday it will be 2 weeks after infopass and still no EAD for me, wonder how AP got approved without EAD , does it happen like this ?

All my 140,EAD,AP, H1 renewal approvals have all been from NSC, never had any application at TSC.
So I guess it may just be a case of USCIS balancing the case load between NSC, TSC, however I would expect others to see similar moves as well in that case.

By now perhaps the orginal poster is travelling to India. He can return to US on an unexpired H-1 visa with new H-1B documents. But it is difficult to get a H-4 stamp unless the new H-1 petition is approved.

what is missing, I am on H1B, I haven't filed yet anything for the GC, tell me why it is irrelevant post ? Whats wrong in redirecting the immigrationvoice.com to ebimmigrationvoice.com because I have observed that when ever some newbie ask some thing non eb based, e g , a family based legal immigration Que. then people here just give hard time..

Hi,
My I-485 priority dat is current ( EB3 - INDAI, priority date mid July 2002 ). I have filed I-485 in JUly 2003. I called customer service for status enquiry on 5/15/2007, today i got letter in that they mensioned that "Your application is under additional review" due to this processing is getting delayed. If you don't receive response in 180 days, call customer service.
Do any one got this kind of reply?
Previously i called customer service for status enquiry in Nov 2006 and got email that "Your application is awaiting for officer review", Service waiting for visa availability.After this message, why i got the new message like above.

Hello,
I am currently under H1-B status, and have received a visa stamp at the embassy in my home country. But my H1B visa is going to expire on September 30, 2007 and I have taken a long break for my health problem from my "current" employer since last year December. Now I am in my home country. Recently a US law firm wants me to work for them and starts to line up an interview for me. What's possible result of my H1B status and what's your suggestion? Thank you very much~~
Sonia

Hi,
My wife's H4 visa got expired in jan 2008 and I renewed her I-94 and I-94 got extended till 2010.
Next week she is travelling back to India throgh Lufthansa airlines from portland to Frankfurt to Chennai. Some people are telling that getting transit visa in Frankfurt airport is difficult if visa stamping got expired eventhough you have valid I94. Is it correct?
I have two questions here.
1 Is really transit visa required, as just she needs to catch another flight in other terminal in the same airport?
2. If transit visa required will it be problem if her visa stamping got expired ( But she has vaild I797 and I-94 documents ).
Please help me by answeringthese questions.
Regards,
Brahma Reddy
