If I was in your shoes I would not file unemployment benefits because our sole purpose for filling or evening being in the USA is because we have a job or job offer. I would get an odd job and make ends meet. Filing Unemployment might come back to bit you later.
It is my Opinion, I can't support the argument with any facts but it makes sense not to file.

Hi, Just make sure with your HR if the new company will grand fathered all the aggreement (esp your GC process). Same thing happened to me a year ago and I don't need to file anything.
so for summary :
a. Do I have to go through the entire GC process again with new company?
>> no
b. Do I have to refile 140 ( labor?) I know H1-b will have to be refiled and they are aware of it.
c. is there anything that must be added to the 'closure' document as part of the deal, that will
help GC transfer smooth( deal is not closed yet, so such clauses can be included still)
>>>the safest thing might be to file AC21. but again, it will depend on ur HR/Lawyer
d. Should I stay with my current employer?
>> up to you .. only you can feel the situation post acquisition.
btw in my case, my old company name is totally gone and my business unit brought the old company name into a new division of the new company . in your case looks like the old company name is still there.
Thx

Just in case someone might find this useful --
I had appeared for my visa stamping (9th year extension). It went fine. I'd used these forums to collect all the needed info so thanks to everyone ! I was little nervous but had no choice because my company had sent me for a business trip. At the consulate, security was very good. They even had places to leave your belongings. I saw people come in with cellphones, keys etc and they were check them in the security. Once through the security initial check ups took place where they put the needed documents in a file.
- At this point the person checking my docs marked red on the section where I had marked that my sibling was permanent resident.
- went to the first window where the officer checked for PIMS and wrote "no PIMS" (again in red) on my ds156 form. He asked couple of questions about where I work and then the finger print formality.
- waited for a while and finally I was called for the interview. The VO asked about my job, degree and what my role was at the company. I work for very large fortune 500 company and our division in Germany is well known.
- She left couple of times to check my PIMS records and finally told me that your visa will be approved and sent in 3-5 business days. That's how they do it consulates in Germany. You are not allowed to come and collect the passports.
- But, then she again checked my degree (EE) and mentioned that they may have to do some additional processing and will get back to me.
- But, she kept the passport and other docs so I was confident that it is only for PIMS verification. After 3 days I got back my passport with stamping. I provided all the answers with confidence and very legibly.
We just have to do what we have to do and leave the rest to whatever happens. I'd prepared everything before my trip in case I've go to India and get stamped (I'm getting tired of these long and stressful procedures, I was the only one with some many docs whereas others walked in with few sheets, go figure !).
Anyway, everything went well! Please let me know if any of you have questions and good luck to all. Hope none of us have to get stuck in the PIMS mess. Also, the PIMS process seems to have been cleaned up. Because of large amount of complaints looks like they are clearing it faster and providing the decision back to consulates much faster.
Adios.

So that means it starts prior to Dec'9th for my case..????
For July filers these 2 dates are way too far.. for June filers there'll be few days difference only...
The RD (Receipt Date) is the date USCIS received your application. And 180 days for AC21 triggers from this date.. Not the ND (Notice Date), when USCIS actually enached your checks and issued you a receipt... The CRIS website usually shows ND...
Seems your RD is June 9th... Confirm from your I-485 receipts too...

Why would one get a LUD on an OLD h1 with no LUD on anything else?
Just got CRIS email/LUD (no status change) on an old h1b that had no status change since Oct 2004. No LUD on the I140/485 or anything else. Only thing that makes sense to me is that my H1b is about to expire on dec 10 so maybe it has to do with that?
Anyone else have a similar experience. it's a little nerve wrecking.
Even I had a soft LUD on my old H1 which was expired and was approved way back in May 2004.

clarify21: You can not have two status (ead & h1b) at the same time. Either your are on H1B or EAD (Pending AOS). If you would like to maintain the H1B status, for the part time job, you will have to ask your part time employer to do the new H1B; by having two H1Bs you can work for two employers the same time. By doing this, H1B and EAD both are valid. The moment you use EAD, your H1B status is invalid. Have a talk with your attorney. Hope this helps.

Hello
I have received so many different responses regarding the shots required for over 65s. Our local health department, the INS Doctor and the INS all seem to be providing different information, I'm hoping someone can clarify.
The civil surgeon provided us with a list of shots, basically it contained all the shots including those that I thought were just for children. We went to a public health nurse today who gave us TDP and Varicella shots. Are the MMR, flu and pneumococcal shots required by the INS?
The INS approved Doctor wanted $600 per person for all of the shots. The exam and blood test were $120. We've decided to go to a private Doctor and the local health department for the shots instead of paying the $600. I'm hoping someone can clarify what is needed so that we avoid paying for shots that are not needed.
Thanks!
To be honest, none of the immigrationvoice members are over 65 years or know someone who is processing the green card through employment based category. Try googling.... thats the best bet.

Some members in other posts have used abusive language to the extent of comparing my wife to a dog. And some have asked for the money since I have got the answers. I am not sure how these "skilled" people can lobby for the skil bill or for that matter convince a single congressman.
I am keeping an open mind and soon when I get my tax refund or bonus I will be able to contribute. I have high personal expenses and I am not too desperate for GC to ruin my financial security and run after this mirage. Hope you guys get it. If you are short on money just ask. I agree my post was off topic, but it did not warrant insults. It just shows what kind of people I will be company to. Now if I were to call you guys some "shiite moolahs" you wont like it, would you?

You need to consider all possiblities
1) Best case scenario: Your H1 gets approved before Oct in that case no need to do anything
2) H1 does not get approved by Oct 31 & No h4 applied then I am not sure if you are in status or not
3) If you apply for H4 and then you have H1 approval and subsequently H4 approval. In that case least you are in status but you will have to go out of country and get H1 stamped to remain on H1 status.
I would recommend option 3 as that is safest option though it involves money and stamping hassale it is worth it.

Hi All,
Is there a fee for filing a renew advance parole document for a application based on a I-485 filed after July 2007.
I know that there is no fee for I-765 renewal, but , there is a conflict for I-131 based on the following info:
1.
USCIS - Instructions for Electronically Filing Form I-131 (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=e650065d85cee010VgnVCM1000000ecd190aRCR D&vgnextchannel=9059d9808bcbd010VgnVCM100000d1f1d6a1 RCRD)
If you filed Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status under the fee structure in place on or after July 30, 2007, then no fee is required to also file a request for a travel document on Form I-131 for an advance parole or refugee travel document. Those applications may not be electronically filed and must be submitted to USCIS via regular mail or courier service.
2.USCIS decides 1-131 is not eligible for fee waiver - probono.net - Asylum Law (http://www.probono.net/asylum/news/article.198509-USCIS_decides_1131_is_not_eligible_for_fee_waiver+ i-131+fee+waiver+july+2007&cd=4&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us)
The USCIS revisited a response they gave in the April National Stakeholder Meeting Q & A <http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/CBO_042908.pdf> to question #7 regarding fee waivers on the I-485 application package. Their initial response indicated that a fee waiver may be applied to the I-131 (Application for Travel Document) if the I-485, I-765, and I-131 were filed concurrently after July 30, 2007 and the fee waiver application was granted on the I-485.
Upon review of the applicable law they now note that the I-131 is not actually eligible for a fee waiver at any time. The legal basis for this reasoning can be found in controlling language at 8 CFR 103.7(b) provides that "... no additional fee will be charged for a request for travel document (advance parole) or employment authorization filed by an applicant who has paid the Form I-485 application fee..."
Thanks,
Amar

From the horse's mouth
"Adjustment applications and ancillary benefits � The new application fee for an I-485 is a package fee that includes associated EAD and advance parole applications. Thus, if you file an I-485 with the fee listed above, while you will still need to submit applications for an EAD and advance parole, you will not need to pay a separate fee so long as your adjustment application is pending. However, if you filed your I-485 before this fee change, to apply for or renew your EAD or advance parole, you must file a new application with the new fee for those applications."
The new fee for I-485 is $1010 but you do not need to pay any additional fees for EAD/AP renewal for the duration of the application which is pretty good saving in my view if you are an indian with with a PD of say 2005 or later under current law.
For comparision purpose, the current fees structure would cost you $325 (for I-485 - one time fee) + $180 ( EAD - Yearly renewals) + $170 (AP - Yearly renewals).
After writing this email, I realised it could be a decent savings under the new system for ppl like me (India.. 2005 PD). I would have gone for it had the fees kicked in earlier than the current July 30th date. Oh well. I will rather file my I-485 and take the AC-21.

i have birth certificate which is taken in 2005 but I was born in 1974

birth certificate was taken in yr 2005, it might cause problems (ins poseses query)

Your friends are correct. U can avoid RFE in I-485 by using affidavits.

I have an approved I-140 and my 3-year H1-B extension is currently being processed but not in premium and has not been approved yet.
I have decided to leave the job/country and want to know if there were any consequences of leaving without the approval (current I-94 has a July 2010 expiration date). I am still working and technically in status as it is in process but the approval could take a few more months. Should I push for premium? Any advice? I would hate to have any problems with getting future visas to the US, either tourist or getting back on an H1-B.
Many thanks!
you abandon your app if you leave the country AFAIK.
