Hi mattresscoil,
<<<<<<<
I think you are positioned well with a full time position and income.
Here is what I would suggest. Continue with your full time job and on the side start looking for a job and make sure that you get hold of good consulting company(ies). If they find you a position, they will/may file for the H1B Xfer. Once the H1b exfer is complete, you can go an join them.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..
I completely agree with you on the above. Can you give some more head on "get hold of good consulting company(ies)" that you mentioned above? What should be the way?
Thanks
What do you mean by good consulting company? Good consulting companies never care about H1 employees. Deloitte,accenture,IBM,Fujitsu, Cap Gemini all are good consulting companies.They place you in good projects,pay well but do not gaurantee about green card filing . Even if they promise you cant trust them. According to me, As long as you can find projects by yourself any consulting company who has good financials is a good consulting company and they will file your green card immediately. If they have good vendor contacts it will be a plus.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
As a EB2-India hopeful I was Current in Aug/Sept 2008, and had a 99.9% of hope of getting approval. However, they did nothing then though many with a lot lower (later) PD's and RD's were approved.
Now suddenly, I got several sets of emails with "Card production ordered", "Approval notice sent" and "Wecome as a New permanent resident" messages (some more than one with same message).
So, may be USCIS is not following any PD dates announced in Visa Bulletins, but this time for good. Ironically, I also got emails on my AP approval, which is dated a day later than GC approval. Sequence of LUDs is - AP received 11/11 with a soft LUD on 12/10, I-485 approval on 12/11, AP approval on 12/12. Got another set of emails today with similar contents as in emails dated 12/11.
Perhaps a lot is going on to clear old cases. Have hopes, and do something so that your file comes to someone's attention. ....Best to all....

Whether you have used EAD or not is not an issues. You can file renewal anytime. Just send the current copy of your H1 while renewing. Also you don't need to go through lawyer to file EAD or renewal of EAD. I e-filed EAD for myself and my wife on my own the first time. I also filed renewals and got them in about 2 months time.
Let me know if you need any information on renewal process.
About AP: Since you have used AP, there is no expiration of I-94. Even when your AP expires, Ur I-94 is valid till you do not get a decision on your PR application.
Cheers

Hi all,
Recently I recieved a RFE on ability to pay regarding my I-140.
I started working with a company in July 2006 and applying for I-140 in Nov 2006 with an existing labor of Nov 2004. My company is in losses all the time but I am getting more than proffered wage since I joined. Recently I received RFE regarding ability to pay and my attorney replied for it. Yesterday I received Intent to Deny notice as there is no evidence that company can pay me in 2005.
Please suggest me any options that I can do

Hello,
My EAD (based on I-485 for EB-3; PD - July 2003) expires in the first week of Nov and I applied for my renewal in August and got a notice stating that my application has been received and it will be processed.
I have not received the new EAD yet (status on the website says 'Initial review') and chances are that I may not get one before the current EAD expires.
Am I dead in the water? Both my wife and I need EAD as our H1 has expired and we have changed jobs.
Obviously I am worried sick,
Any help, pointers, suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks,
Few Suggestions..
Contact USCIS to expedite the case. Usually they do it 90 days after they received the case. After this do the following..
- Contact ombudsman office
- Contact local senator office.
- Contact local congressman office
Good Luck.

Well, iam in the same dilemma. I was out of country for 3 months since March and out of job since then.I recently took up a permanent position.I did not inform my employer about it.The new employer is willing to give the offer letter which is needed for invoking AC21. I do have a copy of the approved
I140.I don't have any contact with my employer except for using the COBRA option of health coverage.So at this point iam not even sure if my approved I140 has been withdrawn or not.
Is it a good idea at this point to invoke AC21 ?
Please pass your valuable suggestions.

Guys from Chicago should be able to tell for sure....
Look here at the link
Raja Krishnamoorthi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raja_Krishnamoorthi)
What's the big deal?
In Zee TV fair in USA, Indians get thier photos taken with film stars and TV serial stars.
I have seen people getting photos with Amitabh Bachhan or Shahrukh khan.
Does it make them a film star or even give them a break in films?

Thanks again guys.
Well company A can file my GC but the issue is that the financial books of company A are not clear right now. Hence there are chances I-140 will be refused even if I file on EB1.
Company B is willing to take me but the issue is how do I join B. The options which I see are that B files my GC under EB2 or EB3 and I continue to work with company A till then. But then in EB2/EB3 the processing will take years till I get my EAD and join company B.

Same with me. Mine is also H1 extension with VSC.
My notice date is 10/31/08 and RD is 10/28/08
Hello Everyone,
My employer filed for my H1-B extension and I have already received the Receipt with "Received date" and "Notice Date" of October 21, 2008 and October 24, 2008 respectively." My case is in Vermont Center.
When I do the case search on USCIS.gov site, it says:
"Your case can not be found at this time in Case Status Online. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance, you can either call the National Customer Service Center at 1.800.375.5283, or you can send an e-mail to uscis.webmaster@dhs.gov."
I found at least one forum member in similar situation. Are there anyone else out there with the similar situation. Just trying to see if this is a unique issue or its happening to few more people. Please drop in a line if you are in a similar situation. We would appreciate it a lot.
Thanks
PS: Worthy to mention the numbers and email listed on the error message leads you no where. I wonder why they even have it there.

Hello,
I have been living in the USA for the last 5 years going to school with a F1 Visa. I have a Bachelor Degree in Art and a Master Degree in Business. I am currently living in New York City. I plan to work as a Real Estate agent through my OPT. Can I qualify for a green card?
in which class real estate agent falls into, EB1, EB2, EB3 or EB4???
Thank You for your time.

Dear All..need expert guidance on my situation.
1) Company A. Approved I-140 and LC for more than 6 months in 2006
2) Took a Job with Company B. Concurrent filling of New I-140 , 485, EAD, AP (In July 2007), EAD and AP approved > 180 days. But still waiting for I-140..looks like it going to take some time.
3) Want to change to company �C�in similar area. Can I use AC21? Given that I have approved I-140 from company A, 485 from company B and want to move to company C ?
I assume answer is No but thought I will get some expert guidance.
Thanks for your help
