i think you can use experience from your OPT if you have any even if it is with the same company.

See my response below:-
My 5th year on H1 will be completed in end of June 2007. I got my labor certification(EB-3) and I-140 approved and didn't apply for I-485. As my I-140 is approved, I recently applied for 3 year extension. The following are the few things I want clarify with you gurus:
1) Can I change the employer after I get my 3 year extension on H1 ?
Yes
2) If I change the employer and If I transfer my H1, Will I get 3 years on my H1 based on 140 approval?
Yes
3) After switching to new employer, if I start the GC process all over again, can I keep my old priority date?
Yes
4) I heard Gc process should be filed before expiry of 5th yr on H1 b, if i change my employer can i file for GC process in 6th yr and get furthur extension ?
Once you have one labor file, which you already have, you can use that to get extension in your new company. I did the same. But since you already applied for 3 yr extension, you don't even need to worry about this thing. Simply transfer your H1 to new company and refile your labor and port the priority date.
I really appreciate your valuable inputs and help me out.
Thanks a lot!

From what I can infer from the replies so far:
1. For full time/permanent positions, EAD opens the doors to companies that do not usually sponsor visas. From the salary perspective, a boost might not be possible
2. For contract positions, eliminating the desi layer in between might help increase the rate.
In (2), how do you all intend to do that? A lot of larger clients I've seen have the preferred vendor policy and if the desi company is the preferred vendor, how do you eliminate them?
You eliminate vendors based on what your expectations are as per the rate is concerned. You can not eliminate vendors totally because most of the large corporations go thru vendors , could be desi or otherwise .
Having an EAD opens up more oppurtunities than on H1 , Its up to the individual how one wants to use/benifit from the oppurtunities.

VB will come today.
I am going to ask my lawyer why it is late. It is is generally on Fridays in the first week on the month.
We should hope for a good VB as it is delayed. If it was copy paste, it would have come out sooner.

Its better to change your employer.
Even my attorney has screwed me big time in 2004. We had a discussion for over two days with my HR and the attorney and the decision was to file the labor in EB2 category otherwise I was not willing to start my GC process with the company. Then the backlog stuff happened and after 3 years I came to know that it is EB3 labor, by that time the attorney stopped representing my company and even the HR left the job.
Now my company doesn't want to start an EB2 process as they don't want to put extra money. So look for a better/similar job and make the move. As the market is improving this is the right time to take some decision.
Cheers!!!

Can some one reply my following questions about Advance parole
Hi
I am trying to file Paper based Advance Parole ( I-131) for me and my family.
I have few questions regarding process and forms. Appriciate your hlep with those.
(1) I Last enetered as F-1. My F-1 visa stamp has expired. I currently have H-1B approved but never stamped on my passport. My I-140 approved and I-485 pending.
On form I-131 in section 3. "Class of admission" what I should write " F-1 "or "H-1B"?
(2) If I check on "More than One trip" in Part-7 section -1 of the form, does the process differ in any way? Does it need any extra fee? Does it need any extra document to support the multiple entry AP application? Will it affect approval in any way? How long (one yr two year?) is AP, once it is approved, is valid?
(3) I never had applied for EAD based on pending I-485 and does not intend to do so in near future.
Does I need to apply for EAD to get AP? and in Cover letter for my AP do I need to mention EAD or it is not required?
(4) For my sons ( 15 yrs age) can I sign as a person preparing form?
thanks for your help with AP application.
(5) Where can we get appropriat photos for I-131. I went to Wallgreen and CVS but both told they all have digital photographs only. Also they also dont take side view they all take frontal view? so where can we get approriate photos for I-131 (Advance Parole)
Can some experienced members can answer above questions about my Son's Advance Parole Application, Photos for AP application and EAD card in relation to AP application.
Appreciate your help

W... For regular applications, they don't even have a column asking for any valid reason.
....
Right. The Initial Evidence section of the I-131 form. Under section I part C 1 b. on page 4 (page 4 in PDF, page 3 printed on that doc) does mention this:
An explanation or other evidence showing the circumstances that warrant issuance of an advance parole document; or
but the very next line is that the alternative to this is a copy of the USCIS receipt of your 485. So just USCIS receipt (or even receipt number) should be good enough for us (or if you filed all three together, dont even need that).
Anyway to OP: ask your lawyer to apply, you should not face any problems getting it.

That was exactly what I was looking for.
What happen if the employer fire me because the project I am working on finishes and they can't reallocate me right away? Or for any other reasons? Of course I will not push anything to be fired, but it is a situation that can happen, specially with IT.
Tks!
That is a different story. I you have been terminated, and the termination was beyond your control, get a letter of termination, keep it in a safe place for the time you get naturalized, and move forward.

Just wanted to share our 7th year H-1B extension stamping in Chennai on July 15th. Since my I-140 was approved, the I-797 petition was approved for 3 years. My family (wife and daughter) attended the interview along with me. The procedure for H-1B extension/renewal is much easier in Chennai compared to first time stampers. There is a separate counter for renewals and the interview procedure is quite simple. After the initial screening of documents, we went to a separate renewal counter which did not have any queue.
The VO just asked some questions about my nature of the job and how long I have been with my company. FYI, my company is a major reputed IT Foreign MNC. My family was not asked any questions. We did not have any PIMS delays and I got the passport couriered the very next day itself. The petition was approved a month before the stamping. Overall it is a much streamlined process for H-1B visa extensions/renewals.
Thanks MP70

Thanks to everyone who responded. So in summary, it looks like:
* I can own a business on H1B.
* I cannot take any proceeds/profits from the business, but can use it to grow it further.
* I can work for the business as long as I don't take any money from it.
- Can a guru please confirm this?
* The business can buy me equipment and accessories to work.
As everyone suggested, I will consult a CPA and immigration lawyer to confirm but wanted to get some initial idea.

They said that they would request an exception in our case. We are going to request that based on our original submission date that our pending case have a current priority date. All dates were current for our case up until the April visa bulletin.
I am really hoping that USCIS sees this error. Has anyone had any experience with USCIS? And were they cooperative?
thank you for your reply.
My labor application for GC (pre-PERM) was lost in the Dallas BEC and DOL was never able to find it. However, in my case we had gotten a receipt and also had proof of mailing etc. We had to resubmit the labor application and DOL immediately approved it within a week. However, because of the delay caused I missed the window for filing I-485. I had to wait for more than a year, till my PD became current to apply for I-485.
Thanks,
Prasad

"USCIS have suspended the AC21 act" is it so? And when USCIS suspended AC21?
I only meant some provisions(relating to 7% country quota). This is already discussed by Gravitation in this forum. Sorry for the confusion. AC21 is congressionally mandated. USCIS can only interpret it and come up with an implementation as per the law. They cannot deviate much.
