ATA conf is a popular event among South Indian (Telugu) immigrants - this year their meeting is in NJ. During this even they seems to have an immigration forum with Attorney Murthy - details are below. If enough IV members are attending - it will be a good idea to have an informal meeting among ourselves. I am also trying to contact organizers to see if they will be OK to announce about IV and our activities - some of us can volunteer to talk to anyone interested to talk more or involve in IV's acitivities.
Announcement from ATA follows:
--------
NRI Committee of American Telugu Association (ATA) is inviting attendees and all Telugu people to take advantage of the Immigration Forum that is expanded to cover over three hours with several practicing attorneys lead by Smt. Sheela Murthy, popular immigration attorney
The Immigration forum will be held on 4th of July in the afternoon from 1:30 PM to 5 PM at the Penn Hilton Hotel, Garden State Ballroom.
The forum is expected to provide guidance to "Immigration questions" related to various professions such as IT/Software, Medical and Family based issues. The forum in addition also focuses on Excessive Delays in Processing. Participants can have many technical and general questions answered first hand from the attorneys with several years of experience in these matters.
Please mark your calendar for July 4th at 1:30 PM and check the schedule from ATA Convention site by going to www.ataworld. org/2008.

Yes that is correct. IV core member Paskal has been leading this initiative from the front. He will provide an update. If you are part of the IV Physicians group, you may find more information from him.

masala_dosa, this is my understanding. once you have applied for EAD, its your responsibility to keep it valid all the time, independent of if you are using the EAD or NOT. You have to appy for renewals before it expires etc. i dont know if it impacts the current gc process or not.
two scenarios:
If you are using EAD for your current job, and if you did not renew ( or alteast file for renew) before it expires you may notbe able to continue the job.
If you are NOT using EAD, but have an EAD on hand you are supposed to keep it valid.
once again - im not an attorney and all above were my understanding.
why dont you talk to your attorney. he/she may have a simple answer for this.

DUBLIN (Reuters) - Thousands of Irish citizens living unlawfully in the United States could be legalised in return for more work permits for U.S. citizens lured to Ireland by its thriving economy, an Irish minister said on Wednesday.
"There is clear evidence to support the establishment of some form of bilateral agreement between the U.S. and Irish governments," Labour Minister Tony Killeen said in a statement after he returned from a trip to New York.
Killeen said that, while 30,000 to 40,000 illegal Irish immigrants were living in the United States, two centuries of mass emigration to the United States from Ireland because of famine and unemployment was clearly now at an end.
Ireland's Trade and Employment Ministry said more than 4,300 Americans immigrated to Ireland in search of employment in 2005, compared with 1,700 Irish people moving to the United States, where more than 10 percent of the population claims Irish descent.
Killeen said a jobs fair in New York showed how appealing Ireland had become in the wake of the "Celtic Tiger" boom.
"The interest expressed by Americans to come and work in Ireland was so great that a queue more than two-and-a-half blocks long formed outside the exhibition venue," he said.
"In less than 15 years, Ireland has gone from being the sick man of Europe to one of the most dynamic economies in the developed world."
Killeen told Reuters in New York last week that Ireland would also try to lure Irish and U.S. citizens back to Ireland where the population is now back above 4 million, having slumped to a 120-year low of 2.8 million in the 1960s.

Both NIW and Eb-1a are DIY, so I do not have a lawyer to ask. It would be appreciated if you can share the response from your lawyer.
I am also thinking about interfiling, but it is said that both 140 have to be approved for interfiling of 485. How long does it take for interfiling? someone said it takes a long time. not sure if it is right.
I am in similar boat. What does your lawyer say? I am waiting for my lawyer response. How about option on interfiling NIW 140 with the pending I-485. That is do not file new I-485 but change underlined I-140 in the old one. Ask your lawyer about that and let us also know whats his/her response.

EAD has nothing to do with your status. But yes, your status is OK as long as you have a pending 485 application.
Yes. You can use your EAD and work for any company.
No issues even if you are not working for some time.
You are authorized to work for any company parttime or fulltime.
Hi,
I am working in company 'A' on H1B, Green card is processing from company 'B' as future employee. Got EAD.
The job is getting over from Company 'A'.
Can I use my EAD and can stay in US with out working to any company?
Will there be any issues if TAX is not paid when I am not working.
If i work part time then on do I need to work for company 'B' only?
Thanks

I just found this link (http://immigrationvoice.blogspot.com/) where this topic is already covered. Mods, please remove my post (and maybe it would make sense to create threads specific to the USCIS/DOS mess up to - at the moment it does not look very organized to me and it is hard to find information. Maybe sub-threads with "law suit", "publicity" would channel comments better?)
--------------------------------------
I only read about an article in two online newspapers but believe this whole topic should get significantly more attention. I do not know if that is going to help to get this started but I sent an e-mail to our local TV stations and hope that some may be interested and even pick it up. Again, no idea if this is going to work but I assume that if they get more e-mails regarding the same topic, interest will come up....

Hi,
With having many international operating companies in the U.S. who all employ legal alliens who are going through the "greencard process" to become legal permanent residents, the Department of State (DOS) and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) have destroyed many plans, caused significant financial loss for applicants and very likely acted against the law. Here is an open letter from congresswoman Lofgren which explains the situation a little bit more detailed: http://lofgren.house.gov/PRArticle.aspx?NewsID=1808
I think this would be well worth a few minuted report - everybody is talking about the pain that the illegal immigrants go through but (without taking away anything from that), the pain of legal alliens having to deal with the willful behavior of USCIS and DOS is not much better.
If you would be interested in more information, I would be more than happy to help.
Best regards,

My lawyer initiated the PERM process late last year, the timeline was such that the prevailing wage request was filed with State Workforce Agency (SWA) on 12-30-2009. The SWA prevailing wage determination was received back by my lawyer on the 1/11/10.
Subsequently the recruitment process started and everything was going smooth. The PERM was supposed to be filed in the first week of April. My lawyer now is saying that they need to push the application filing because of the new rule which came into effect Jan 1st which requires all prevailing wage requests to be filed with the DOL. The rule states that:
On January 1, 2010, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) changed the way that prevailing wage determinations (PWDs) are processed for the PERM, H-1B, H-1B1 (Chile/Singapore), E-3 (Australia), and H-2B programs. PWDs are now issued by DOL�s National Prevailing Wage and Helpdesk Center (NPWHC) in Washington, DC. Below are updated Frequently Asked Questions about the new process.
From my understanding the new law should not be applicable to me, since we filed for the PWD on 12/30/09. I am not sure why we need to reinitiate the process, since the new law is _effective_ as of 01/01/2010.
Is anyone in a similar situation or anyone has any advice?

hi,
thanks to everyone here for the kind input, I am almost done with my GC application under NIW. Since I have a load of documents for primary evidence,
how should I arrange them and where should I mention the "table of contents" so to speak. I have a detailed cover letter also.
thanks,

If you ever had an OPT EAD card, put that.
If you have both, put I-140 number.

i am in same situation. i applied for employment base in Dec 2004 and family based in May 2006 through my sister. Rightnow i'm on EAD and my sister based F4 category have priority Dec 2001.
You can apply in both category. when i was filing 485 (EB3), there is question if any other 485 petition is pending? The answer is "NO" even i have applied (I-130) under Family based GC. My lawyer said filing I-130 (for family based GC) is not consider as another petition (485) for GC. So it is ok to apply in both.

Hello!
My H1B got expired in Sep 2010, ( applied for transfer before expiry), got RFE and finally approval last week, but 797 form has the validity from current date(approved date) instead of requested date in Sep 2010. So now is the period from sep 2010 to 797 approved date is considered as out of status or how it is? I have paystubs during this time and on job all the time. Any implications while going for h1b stamping in India and or at port of entry and in future GC.
Any inputs are apprciated. Thanks!

Hi
First off, I know that people responding on this forum are spending valuable time answering my questions and very much appreciate the time you spend reading and responding to my requests.
I have the following situation:
1. Currently working on H1B, renewed effective Sep 15 2009 for the next 3 years (i.e. expires 2012 Sep)
2. I-485 filed in Aug 2007, PD of Jan 2006 for EB-2 / India.
3. Received and used Advance Parole in the past year or so to re-enter US (for spouse and me)
4. Have a valid EAD card that will expire October 2010. If relevant, spouse does not work, although she has an EAD card with same validity.
5. I accepted a job offer and expect to start work on Oct 5 2009 with the new company. The new job has a very similar description as the previous and is about the same level as well but higher pay.
My questions are as follows:
1. Should I request the new company to 'transfer' my H1B? What are the benefits and drawbacks of transferring the H1B as against switching to the EAD? What is the filing requirement for the transfer in terms of deadlines (i.e. do I need to have it filed on or before or within certain number of days after Oct 5?)
2. Will I be in violation of the AC-21 requirements ? What will I need to do to continue my GC process. The new employer has agreed to support the GC process and will do what is required.
3. In all this switchover, what documentation should I be requesting from my current employer's law firm? This is a big law firm and may take a few days to respond.
I need to be on point and keep pushing with the new employer as well as with the old one to make sure my legal status is not affected in the US. As such any additional tips / suggestions you have will be great too.
I have tried to provide as much detail as possible but please do let me know if I have missed anything. Again, thank you for your responses.

You pay 10% Penalty plus 30% taxes. Eitherway you will pay 30% taxes.
Listen, Invest agressively. and if you make 10% gain... (RIO jumped 5% in a week!) you are fine.

Anybody filed your H1 ext yourself? Is it worth it?
This will be my 12th yr extension. I have the previous extension papers (copies) that the lawyer sent me, so i was thinking i can look at those and draft a new ext myself. But with the latest news of H1 denied for consulting companies, is it worth doing it myself? I have worked for the same client for the last 11 yrs.
Everybody else would also like to do the same thing. Instead of Paying 3500 dollars to the attorney plus other fees by the employer. I feel its good to do it by yourself. If you have anything wrong USCIS would contact you back and you can reply on those. if it becomes a major thing, then you can hire a attorney.
I feel someone should post all the steps to file
1. H1B transfer
2. EAD
3. AP
4. I-485 (As for EB-I it would take a long time)
5. All other forms
Its not worth paying the attorneys for such a long time. Let USCIS take the trouble of correcting our errors
