Hi!
I received my GC in first week of September'09. After receiving GC I have continued with my sponsor till now - & they continued giving me pay (after the usual big cut from my rate). During the I-485 petition filling my employer has given a letter to USCIS for "future" employment with a fixed base salary. They never gave me this after the GC & now if I go on "bench" they are refusing to give me any salary (since I am using GC & they are not bound to give me the H1B minimum wage!).They may continue my medical insurance (for family & me) provided I pay the whole part! I wanted to continue with my sponsor for six months after GC but under these circumstances is it OK to leave them now & if I face any issue at naturalization will this be a valid reason to convince the officer(in case they ask this question)- although I do not have anything in writting from my employer(except the "future employement letter" & paystubs & e-mail replies to my queries for this)
I am leaving many opportunities just to be with my sponsor for this six months!
Please guide.
Thanks,
Raj
The lawyers usually advise you to stay with the company for 6 months if you can. In your case, the employer is not willing to pay. So do you really have a choice here?
It may be easier to convince the officer that you moved on to another job (maybe similar kind) rather than having a situation where the sponsoring employer was not willing to pay.
When you are trying to make such important decisions, do not just rely on responses from blogs/forum. Consult a immigration lawyer for a few hundred dollars.

I think it is useful to state search the forum so that people stop asking questions which really irritates other people since it has been discusses in detail in several threads. Let the guy ask. I see a couple of times somebody asking a question, and instead of answering people ask to search at the forum first....
why not just respond if possible or just ignore. I think posting a reply to say to search first is not very usefull at all.

Is this something to be concerned about, getting AP before EAD , both are of course 124 days since receipt date.
I don't know. It is just puzzling that some people got both while others only got one. What is the basis for approving AP?

Hi,
My company gave ma a substitution labor and it is having a problem in term of degree.
My I-485 is also pending based on that I-140.
1. Is it possible to apply new labor and I-140 in premium processing and use that new I-140 for previously applied I-485?
2. In substitution labor that person was having 4 years of Bachelor degree and I have 3 years of bachelor degree, lawyer said there is a chance for get approval for I-140 based on substitution labor.
Please advice.

My 485 was filed on july 2nd, have'nt recieved the RN,Now i want to file for EAD/AP without RN (cos need it badly for my wife) but the lawyer is advicing against it. He says...
My concern in filing the EAD/AP applications without the I-485 Receipt Notice is that it will take USCIS a long time to marry the files together, and that much longer to adjudicate, versus filing the EAD/AP applications with the I-485 Receipt Notice. In the latter case, the application can stand on its own, in that USCIS does not have to "search" for any other file; in this instance, we suspect USCIS will adjudicate these applications faster.
Anyone in the same boat..
I feel your lawyer is definitely correct. If you send I485, EAD and AP forms together, you don't need to worry about A#. Whereas if you file I485 only and then apply EAD and AP later, you definitely need A#(which you can find in I485 receipt notice) to fill in the EAD and AP forms. What # would you give in these forms for A#?
But again this is my personal thought.

Hi,
I hope I am posting in the right space and hoping to get some input from people who have been in a similar situation.
My mother is coming from India (Hyderabad) to San francisco . The ticket was booked in India and we were hoping to get a travel companion for her and help her through gate changes, customs and related stuff. When we talked to travel agents they kept postponing until one week before departure (She leaves on 14th). Now they were able to locate one companion until London but after that they split.
Eventhough wheelchair assistance was requested from London and confirmed. I am worried that she never traveled by herself and she wouldn't be able to complete all the forms or answer all the questions or even stand in the right queue by herself at the port of entry in San francisco.
I am sure there will be other passengers from London to San francisco but I want to talk to them before she gets on the plane and not leave to chance and hope somebody helps her. With all the new privacy issues how do we get in touch with Telugu(worst case Hindi) speaking people on the plane from London to San francisco.
I would appreciate your input
Thanks in advance

Great point.. core team should develop a strategy and share it with entire group as to how they are working towards getting these ammendments in and whom are they approaching ....
Wonderful point peer123!! Core members have their contact numbers listed on this site somewhere. It would be ten times better if you would personally call them or meet them personally and get answers for your questions :) Does that sound reasonable?? Many of our american disilusioned brothers/sisters are visiting our site periodically/regularly to see what we are upto. They think their salaries will rise once H1b visas are eliminated. "How Sad". Anyway, as I said call or meet with the core group personally and get your answers, OK. Rest of us dont want them posting any such information on this site.

Thanks, yes our last names were different.
I told the postman.
Its been more than 2 weeks and I didnt get any response from USCIS after updating the address.It still shows initial review.
Does anyone know how long it would take for the USCIS to resend the card?
When i filed for my EAD card, they returned my card and I had to open SR by calling 800 number. I received card after 1 - 2 months time frame. Again with USCIS each case is different so hope you get faster.

hi there is a clause "same or similar field", so as per shiela murthy, ron gotcher and prashanthi reddy, as long as you are in a IT related job its ok, you cannot go from IT to healthcare or cross fields.
so you are safe.
But find out from your attorney if it is mandatory to file Ac21, because as long as i know, some attorneys say not to file it, as it just causes more confusions. But find out if it is legal not to file Ac21.
AC21 by law is not mandatory to file, does not matter what any attorney says. Some attorneys might want to make some money off of you and create a scare.
My attorney did mention that i should be in similiar field ( exactly as gcdreamer has mentioned here) that one should not more from IT to selling burgers or being a realtor as their primary jobs.
After 8 years is this h1 circus....i have moved on to get some certifications, experience in industry. how in the world can i stick to the same job on this GC was filed...
Imaging this, you play by rules and GC takes lets say.....20 years...will you be stuck at same job..no. on top of this what if at time of GC adjucation, you might get hit by some....obscure rule created by Grassley like folks....sitting on a tractor in IDAHO and planning for IT industry in San Francisco..he for sure would like you to stick to same field....same employer/farmer...as was in old days of slavery....
I say go for the advancement in career, you are not doing anything wrong.
My 2 cents.

How early can we apply for EAD before it expires? I know it is either of these: 180 days, 120 days or 90days ?
Does someone know the exact days?
Thanks
You can apply exactly 120 days early.
About my earlier post, You do need to send your papers such cutout from previous EAD, 485 receipt copy etc..

i contacted Senator dewine, urging him to back the PACE act
here is the reply i got
keep ur fingers crossed:)
Dear xxxxxx
Thank you for contacting me regarding illegal immigration. I agree
that
illegal immigration is a very serious problem and appreciate knowing
your
views.
Currently, there are approximately 11 million undocumented immigrants
in
the United States, with close to 1 million more arriving every year.
Yet,
our current immigration system is broken. It is a system that is not
good
for American security, particularly during our fight to combat
international terrorism. It is not good for American workers and
businesses. And, it is not good for the immigrants, themselves.
To tackle this problem, we must have a comprehensive immigration plan
that
toughens our borders, documents illegal immigrants, and provides for
American labor needs. The Senate Judiciary Committee, of which I am a
member, is set to take up immigration reform soon. In fact, several
immigration bills are currently pending before the Committee, including
a
border protection bill passed by the House of Representatives in
December
2005. As the Judiciary and the full Senate debate immigration reform,
I
will be certain to keep your views in mind.
Again, thank you for contacting me. If you have any additional
concerns,
please feel free to contact me anytime.
Very respectfully yours,
MIKE DeWINE
United States Senator

This proves that the faxes sent via the webfax features are actually reaching the senators. I received a reply from Senator Specter's office too.
As far as the content of the replies goes, this proves again that to a lot of lawmakers, immigration = ILLEGAL immigration. It is upto us to educate them of our plight too.
Wam4Wam, can you call up your senator's office and speak to the immigration liaision? Explain to him that when you sent the fax to them, you had asked for considering pro immigrant legislation for legal immigrants.
You can ask the liaision for a meeting too. We have all the necessary resources you need for such a meeting on our resources website. The CA team has been successfully using these resources. And please update this thread too so that others may learn from you
