First of all congratulations to all those who got their approval in the last couple months. Now comes the big dilemma for some of us. Did anyone tried to switch their jobs, or at least, ditch their current employer? Did anyone switched their employer immediately after the green card approval? I am sailing in this boat. I want to switch my employer ASAP, but is hesitating to do so... as you know there are some obvious reasons later. What are other problems that you think other than getting tons of questions during the citizenship? Appreciate your answers. ;)
Just my opinion. Stay with employer for 6 months - 1 year. Stay in the same profession for atleast 2 years ( i understood that way from Attorney Ron Gotcher )

I think in many ways its advisable to not leave the country until you actually have the approved AP in your hand.
In this case i guess the folks got a bit lucky. The officers at the POE would have to really dig deep into your case details and compare all sorts of dates to probably determine that you left US before you got your AP.
I doubt there is anything that automatically cancels or abandons your application if you travel prior to receiving the AP approval notice.
just my 2 cents.

That's great news - IV's efforts are paying off now. Not sure if they give two years for all EAD's applications (either renewal or new) that are currently pending. Now I wish my application will get a bit delayed in processing :)
Anyway its a good news that they are starting it from June end.
Well i missed the boat atleast for this yr..:(

My I-485/I-140 were filed on Jul 2, 2008 (I-140 approved in 9/2007). I possess an EAD valid till Sep 2010 and AP valid till Aug 2009. I lost my job (H1B) in late January. I have a family emergency compelling me to travel to India for a week (starting Saturday next week 04/04/2009). Will there be any problem in terms of using my AP to re-enter the U.S? An early reply would be appreciated. Thank You very much in advance.
P.S: I do not have a job yet.
If you list your skillset maybe someone would be able to help you as soon as you return. By the way, most of the members knows a tons of rectruiters and websites.Maybe in the worst case you can tell that you are going to be interviewed by some firms

It's hard to answer your question without more details, such as your current status. Company B can definitely file a new H-1B for you. Your current status will dictate whether you "need" to tell them about the earlier filing. However, having a prior petition filed might not have any negative impact, so you probably don't need to be nervous about telling Co. B.

Hello,
When I first took my medical tests for I-485 with a doctor, the doctor put an additional document stating that: "I have a positive PPD that was read as 9mm of induration. A NORMAL chest x-ray was read. The patient is refered to their PCP or County Health Department for evaluation and possible treatment with INH for 9 months".
Now I received the RFE from CIS asking for the following:
"The form I-693 submitted is hereby returned because you TB test results were not documented appropriately. Additional documentation submitted from Civil Surgeon indicates that you were possibly being refered to the County Health Department for evaluation and have received teh follow up treatment.
The I-693 form must be properly endorsed by Civil Surgeon to reflect the following:
-> The date you first refered to the local health dept for evaluation
-> Name and address of the health dept
-> results of the X-ray and other TB test
-> Based on which you are medically cleared for adjustment status
"
If anyone had similar experiences, please let me know how to proceed on this issue.
PS: I got very late appointment with County Health department, so If I go to a private TB specialist and If I take the results to the original doctor and can he able to update my I-693 based on the TB specialist results?
If I go on 9 month medication will CIS wait 9 months to further process my petition or hold my EAD status?
If I go to a new doctor and If he gives me a new set of medical results, will CIS overlook previous doctor's comments?
I dont have much time as I just had 20 days left to send back my results to CIS.
Thanks for yor help.

My current AP expires on 2 Aug 2009. I applied for renewal on 2 May and it was approved on the 20th. But the validity is only till 19 may 2010 and not 2 aug 2010.
I have lost almost 3 months here. Is it normal or a special case that i need to call USCIS?
Please advise.

Your receipt notice will show "receipt date" as July 3 - Oct 10 as Notice Date, thats when they entered your case into the system. If you end up with USCIS rep level 1, they say received date as Oct 10 as they don't have vicinity to Receipt Date. when I called to check the status of my AP, rep said, they receipted (noticed date) my case on 10/2 - it will take 3-6 months to get AP as TSC processing application entered on 7/17.
I got my receipt numbers by calling USCIS on Oct 12.

Hmm, somebody can confirm this. I am in Houston, Texas
While I e-filed my EAD renewal, everything was super-duper and the pdf files indicate that it was sent to Texas Service Center (pending I-485 is in TSC and initial EADs/APs were received from TSC). I marked in my Application that My I-485 was Emplyment Based.
I went and followed the same steps for my wife's EAD renewal(She already received EAD/AP initially in October 2007, from the TSC), who is my "dependant", but marked hers as family based I-485. I think it is because of this anamoly that, the supporting documents is being directed to National Benefits Center.
Has anybody had a similar experience? Please share
I am planning to call USCIS tomorrow. I will update you all in the details.
My main concern now is
1. I do not want to send supporting documents to two places (so that they dont get confused)
2. I do not want National Benefits Center to realize that it is the wrong service center and transfer to TSC and delay the EAD's for my wife ( whose will expire sometime in October, 2008).
3. Since her I-485 is dependant on mine, i dont want them to think that her I-485 is now family and not "my employment"

If you are in the process of applying for H1 through another employer, you may be safe. As with everything USCIS, H1 revocation takes couple of months before it is approved. So in the interim you may get your new H1 approved before the previous employer's revocation sails through.

having valid AP at any time, even though is not a legal requirement, is a necessity due to potential emergency travel to home country or any other country. Hence it is safe to reapply AP 2-3 months before expiry and EAD 3-4 months before expiry. This will give you peace of mind.

For most Lawyers handing H1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html)cases, the problem with the Labor Condition Application (LCA) system has become a nightmare. Some cases take almost 14 days to be resolved and the FEIN denials are completely unreasonable.
Finally, the USCIS Ombudsman release a set of recommendations to handle the recent problems.
In August and September 2009, the Ombudsman received complaints concerning H-1B cases with incorrectly denied Labor Condition Applications (LCA/ETA-9035) filed with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). LCA processing delays and errors at DOL, when coupled with USCIS� current H-1B petition initial filing requirements, are prejudicing employers and individuals who are unable to timely file original or extension H-1B visa petitions. Untimely H-1B petition filings lead to
problems, including: (1) the potential loss of employees� legal status; (2) business operation disruptions due to the loss of continuity in the employment of key employees; and (3) economic loss to employees in the form of lost wages and costs of travel overseas due to loss of status. USCIS has the authority to mitigate the impact upon these customers.
To mitigate the impact of LCA processing difficulties, the Ombudsman recommends that USCIS:
(1) Reinstate USCIS� previous practice of temporarily accepting an H-1B petition (Form I- 129) supported by proof of timely filing of an LCA application with DOL, and issue a
Request for Evidence (RFE) whereby the H-1B petitioner later provides the certified
LCA; and
(2) Establish a temporary policy under which USCIS would excuse late H-1B filings where the petitioner has documented an LCA submission to DOL that was improperly
rejected.
Given that Form I-129 instructions say a petitioner must provide evidence that an LCA has been filed with DOL, and that USCIS has previously accommodated petitioners in nearly the same circumstances, implementing these recommendations as a temporary solution is warranted. We welcome the above referenced guidance, and hope this will assist many H1B (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137085.html) filers that are in need of faster processing.

I have a B.E in Electronics (4 years) and an PGDM in IT (2 years) from India but my I140 is denied on the basis that my PGDM School in India would accept 3 years undergrad and thus the education is not equivalent to M.S in US. I did send the educational evaluation along with I140 but the decision was made on the descretion on CIS.
Please advice if I should refile with education evaluation from anothe agency.
Its all depends on what you have in the PERM requirement. It shouldn’t be an issue when you have an B.E - 4 years. But the USCIS says the PGDM accepts 3 years bachelor also and I am not sure how that’s matter for your individual case. Talk to a competent attorney.
They are not disputing your B.E but your PGDM...
