1) I got my EAD 3 months back. Also received my AP in Oct. Typically how long is the journey from EAD to actual GC?
2) When does the 180 day period for AC21 begin? The day I sent my 140/485 packet or the receipt date (behind the cashed check) of my 140/485 application?
3) Now that I have my EAD, do I need to do anything at this point? I already have a SSN. Does the SSN change after getting EAD? Do I need to apply for I-9 or something?
4) Have people been successful with AC21? What if I want to move on to another role (different in responsibilities from my current role)? Can I still use AC21?
PS: My company lawyers are very unfriendly and rude. So thanks for your help in advance.

Reliable information from my friend's lawyer says that the cap for this year is NOT reached in the 1st one week. I think this means all applications filed in first week will be processed.
Congratulations to all those who applied and hope their cases get approved
There was really no way it would have gone into a lottery this year, infact the interesting thing is for how long the filing will last this year.

This is a very sad message this morning I got to read from my inbox. I am not bothered about losing the pledge, but I am shocked to see only 88 members pledged. The sadest part is that this pledge is created by a US Citizen for IV.
IV Members 6000+
Retrogressed members 350,000+
Why only 88 pledged? Many people wants free ride which they cannot get if they dont want to unite for the common cause. I know most of the H1b holders are paid well and spend a lot. But when it comes to donate, they feel $1 equivalent to $1000. The reason is they feel they are not getting anything in return which is not true and they feel they are smart to get a free ride when others donate.
If you dont unite for the common cause, everyone including is going to struggle to get what you want. But at least the donated members will feel good about trying their best.
*************** EMAIL FROM PLEDGEBANK *****************
We are sorry to have to inform you that the pledge to which you
signed up did not meet its target in the required time. It
required 1000 other people, but achieved only 88.
The pledge, created by Randall Emery, read: 'I will donate $10
monthly to Immigration Voice for one year but only if 1,000
other people will too.'
This means you don't have to do your part of the pledge.
Instead, why not sign up to local alerts at
http://www.en-gb.pledgebank.com/alert to find out when someone
creates a new pledge near you, browse the pledges at
http://www.en-gb.pledgebank.com/list or perhaps make your own
pledge.

All,
Now that Aug is coming up, please post all the 485 LUDs that you have been seeing after 07/18/2008. This will help us getting the pattern, in case USCIS shall auto order the Card production.

Please I sincerely appreciate your opinion what should be done in such case?
Wait till 16th evening ,hoping to get affidavit which may or maynot be possible or just go ahead and submit application now?
Thank you so much.

Hello,
I read this on Oh-law website. I am a bit confused. Isnt it true that H1 is dual intent, why would they consider this as abandonment of 485 when one uses the automatic re-validation rule (no valid H1 stamp but valid I-94 stub on the 797 H1 approval)?
From the Oh-law website:
Those in pending I-485 green card proceedings should understand that travel over the contiguous countries without a valid H or L visa status or without an approved advance parole will result in a deadly consequence of abandonment of pending I-485 applications even if they are readmitted into the U.S. after a short trip to Canada and Mexico with an expired visa in the passport under the foregoing visa revalidation rule. Rule of readmissibility from such trip is one thing and abandonment of pending I-485 is the other. They should never depart from the U.S. without a valid H or L approved status or a valid Advance Parole.

March I applied H4 for my wife. It's still pending. She is travelling to India next month and will be back only Feb. Currently she is having valid AP till next yr and we are planning to use AP this time. If you are applying H4 not along with H1 then it'll take longer time, but you can get H4 stamping in India with your husband�s valid H1 document. You don't need to have H4 document for your stamping. One of my friend�s wife similar to your situation got stamping in India without H4 document.

I dont think we are doing any wrong here. I think it helps people. People can search who are the H1B and GC sponsoring companies. You can search about lawyers who have filed H1B and Green Cards.

H1B Visa Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) has extended the time period for information collection (http://www.aila.org/content/fileviewer.aspx?docid=31614&linkid=220246) for Form I-102, Application for Replacement/Initial Nonimmigrant Arrival-Departure Document until July 23, 2010.
During this period, USCIS will be evaluating whether to revise Form I-102 (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-102.pdf).
The purpose of the form: for a nonimmigrant to apply for a new or replacement Form I-94 or I-95 Nonimmigrant Arrival-Departure Document.
Members of the public are encouraged to submit comments and/or suggestions to USCIS, especially comments regarding the estimated public burden and associated response time.
Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected agencies should address one or more of the following four points:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
Comments may be submitted to:
Department of Homeland Security (DHS), USCIS,
Chief, Regulatory Products Division, Clearance Office,

This is the reply I got back from my attorney.
My case was filed in Texas Center but Texas couldn't process all the applications so they shipped some of them to California to do initial data entry. Now that California has finished with initial entry, they are sending it back to Texas.

As usual to complicate decision making.... :mad:
Today PD (aug 2006 / EB3) is now current :) and I have my I 140 approved.
I also have another job offer which looks great. :confused: But they will start GC only after 3-4 months!
Should I just stick on to my current job and ride it out for 6 months to get EAD?
When does one get EAD 3 months after filing 485 or after 6?
Also if the dates retrogress, will 485 get approved? or Should the date remain current till 485 gets approved?
A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush...rest is upto you...

Is this a good time to Initiate GC process.
------------------------------
I was employed with company A and right now with B, My H1 is Valid till Sep-2010 and can apply for Renewal. My employer is ready to process GC for me.
I am also interested to start the process, my main worry is whether I am eligible to change the employer meantime, or I have to stick to current employer only for few more years which is indefinite.
-- Experts please advice me which is the best option : change the employer and start the GC.. ?
-- or Start GC with current employer and can transfer H1 at the later stage.? if yes at what stage.
-- In current market conditions is it safe to transfer H1
--- Thanks

Guys, please don't start Indian firm bashing here. This site is being visited by people of other nationalities as well as offices of the lawmakers. We don't want to throw mush on the companies of our own country and look small. The info spgtopper has asked for is being asked by our lobbyst, so I would appreciate if you provide the relevant info.
Just a request. Please delete your posts.
Thanks for listening
I totally agree with black_log. Involving Indian firm or trying to use Indian political influence can cause sever damage to our cause. Its not just applies India abut any nation other than US. Unfortunately this is not the first thread of its kind.
Instead of having TCS, Infosys or Wipro trying to put influence why cant we have companies like Google, Intel, Micrsoft, Cisco or Yahoo. Their voices will be heard with respect.

I have a valid H1-B visa till November 2011from Company A. I joined Company B in July 2009. I have got my Company B approval notice I-797 from USICS.
Due to my fathers health I'm travelling to Pakistan in October for a one week vacation. I have my approval notice from Company B and the visa transfer is done. My new approval notice is till June 2012.
My question is do I have to go for stamping when I go to Pakistan because I changed companies even though I have a valid visa from my previous company and an approval notice from my current company?
I will highly appreciate your Quick help in this regards.
Thank you very much.
