If the underlying I-140 for your 485 is from company A, then it's a different story. I think then you are OK. Are you sure that CIS accepted the old I-140 as the basis for your 485?
But like everyone else here said, please check with your attorney. AC-21 is confusing as it is and the compliactions in your situation do not make it easy.
Also be ready for RFEs.
I do have copy of approved I-140 from company A and asked for the old priority dates on Old I-140 when applied for new I-140. Not sure if it matters

Dear Friends, my 140 just got approved at TSC (EB3-India, PD Feb 03, 140/485 filed in July 07). Given the current economic turmoil, my company may lay off people. I have a valid EAD till Oct 09. God forbid, if I can't find another job here after my layoff, is it legal to go to my home country (i.e., India) for a few months and then come back before Oct 09 to renew my EAD? Assuming the USCIS doesn't adjudicate my 485 while I'm away, could I have any problems at the port of entry (since I would be using Advance Parole but wouldn't have a job)?
Thanks.

Jaime - my friend - I am in for another rally. What worries me is that, there is still a lack of motivation from the immigrant community. We need atleast 50,000 skilled workers rallying in DC.

I Agree there are some particularly bright ideas about fund raising but I dont think there is any significant variety in opinions regarding immigration floating around that we might miss. I would rather have people put their opinions into practise (by contributing) rather than simply share them.

Hi All,
I am in tough situation. Hope you can help me. I applied and got OPT card on DEC-2007. I thought I can complete my MASTER's by that time but one of my proff gave me D grade and according to University rules, I cannot graduate if I have D grade in Graduating Semester(Even though I have 3.09 GPA including that subject). Right now I enrolled in an online course and I will graduating in MAY2008, at the same time I am in Consultancy who are applying for my H1. They don't have any idea about my Case and are really confused when I gave the Graduation status letter that was issued by our University.
This is the matter that I have in my Graduate Status letter.
"This is to verify that harish is graduate student in good standing, currently working on Master of Science degree with a major in Electrical Engineering. He has successfully completed 30 of the 33 required hours of enrollment on his graduate plan of study, and is currently enrolled in the remaining three hours. He has passed his exit examination, and has submitted his application for the degree for the spring semester of 2008. Provided that he successfully completes his final enrollment, he would be awarded his degree. Spring 2008 degrees will be officially conferred on May 26th, 2008. Diplomas and official transcripts that display spring awards will become available approximately the third week of July, 2008"
Is this enough to apply for H1 in Master's Quota? if not what is the right way to apply and get H1 safely. I am planning to apply H1 with Bachelors even to be on safe side but we all know the chance of getting H1 with Bachelors is very less.
Please help me what to do with this situation and having letter from the university.
I believe that you need the actual diploma (you send a photocopy of it to USCIS) for getting counted in the M.S. quota. Most schools give the diploma once you have finished all requirements.

Now you dont have even option to get EAD so I would say stick with CP.
Thanks for your reply. I fully understand how CP and 485 route works and differs. All that I am asking is now that we know EB3 I is going to take 3-4 years to move past a year worth of filing, can we do something to CP filers?
Or, are CP filers (who are already working in the US) such a minority that they can be ignored?

All,
Background:
EB-2 India
Employment based petition
PD: Feb 2003
Labor approved (after a long wait at Backlog reduction Ctr)
I-140 filed
Waiting for PD to be current to be eligible to file I-485
To avoid further delays and have the necessary paperwork on-hand ready to file I-485 petition when PD becomes current, I had the following questions for the folks on this forum who have filed I-485 or are knowledgeable about the paperwork requirements:
1) Birth Certificate: I have my original birth certificate but it is not in English.
a. I have a translated notarized version in English from India. Will this suffice?
b. If not, can a birth certificate issued by the Indian Consulate General suffice?
c. Also, is this birth certificate required for spouse too if her name is added to I-485 petition?
2) Police clearance: I know that one has to go thru the FBI name check for US clearance and this is done by processing center after filing of I-485 petition.
a. Do I need to have a police clearance from India?
b. If so, can a Police clearance certificate from Indian Consulate General suffice?
c. Also, is police clearance certificate required for spouse if her name is added to I-485 petition?
3) Medical: I have the list of approved Doctor�s in my geographical area. However, I do not have my inoculation records. Hence, I believe the Doctor will administer the shots again.
a. How long does the approved Dr. to finalize the tests and administer the shots? Is this a 1 day or week(s) process before the Dr. hands over the sealed medical forms back?
b. How long is the medical test valid? (Is it valid for 1 month, 6 months etc)
4) Additional documentation: Is there any other documentation, not stated above, that has a long lead time that I can start to accumulate now?
Thanks in advance.

Folks,
I'd like to know if any of you invited your parents while on AOS. Last time I invited my in-laws I had H1-B et al....now we are on AOS and my wife is sponsoring her parents. We are on AOS. I do not have a job currently so I can't get an EVL and my wife has and she is inviting and the I-134 is also from her...we have EADs valid till late 2010....she had her F1 valid till Oct 2009 but she is working on dependent EAD.
So do you think there could be any potential problem.....Last time I had sponsored my in-laws but they were questioned a lot at the embassy....so now my wife will be sponsoring ...I hope there are no potential problems.
Path 2 USA do not mention anything special for EADs/AOS et al....
Thanks,
SoP

you can apply for LC and I-140. Its the I-485 that you cannot apply (& once you apply cant get approved) unless your date is current.

My checks got cashed last night. The details are below:
Received by J Barrett at 10:25 AM at NSC

My I-140 was approved from TSC in May 2006
My PD is Jan 2006; EB2-India
Hope this helps.
Good Luck to you all.

I am sure you don't even have to be in the US to trade in US stocks. There are people that have never been to the US that participate actively in US stocks and just as Americans participate in some foreign markets too.
In the final analysis, most restrictions on H1B workers are stupid.

Dear All
I will be thankful to you if i can get the responses from some folks who have gone through the situation like mine.
Here is the summary of my case -
1) Came to US in 2004 on F1 visa.
2) Got the job in 2006. Company A applied for H1B in 2007. Got H1B visa stamped on passport valid from September 2007 to September 2010.
3) Was laid off on 16th Novmeber 2007.
4) Company B applied for H1B petition on 21st December 2007 using regular processing. No pay check from company B.
5) Company C applied for H1B petition in March 2008 using premium processing. Comapny C applied based on A and not based on B.
6) Company C's petition got approved but with I 797 B. No I - 94 attached. Attorney asked me to leave the country and come back with a new I 94 as i have an almost brand new visa. I did so. And started working with Company C. Meanwhile, company B's petition was approved in May 2008 without Adjustment of Status (means no I 94 attached only I 797 B)
7) Worked with company C from April 2008 to September 2008. Although, no pay check from 16th November 2007 to 1 April 2008 because company B did not provide any.
8) Got the job with company D. Company D applied for H1B petition and it was approved with I 94 attached ( means I 797A).
Now 2010 is coming and my visa will expire in September 2010.
I want to go to India to get the H1B stamp on my passport with the current employer's I 797 (which is employer D).
I do not have any documentation from Company B except receipt number for H1B petition. I do not have any pay check from company B.
I have paycheck from 1st April 2008 to 31 September 2008 from Company C and 1st October 2008 to till date from Company D.
Will i face problem during visa interview?
I am thankful to your comments and suggestions.
Thanks
Even though the consular officer will not ask for the paystubs from that far back (since it is only required for the current year), he may review your tax returns from previous years(since I think it is still a requirement to bring all the tax returns for all the years you have resided in the U.S for a visa interview) and may find that your income on that year's tax return was low and ask you what happened. I am not saying he/she will for sure but, am asking you to be prepared to answer that question. Also, please be honest with your answer as they do sense a lie a mile away.
Also, on a side note, if you have applied for Greeen Card, Please complete your profile to the best you can.

Until you know the reason for denial, its difficult to give any opinion. If you know the chances are very low if you are going for appeal, I would still advise you for that to get some time.
1. When your appeal is pending you can use the approved PERM to get your H1B if you are beyond 6 years.
2. If your I-140 is denied, it will trigger the I-485 denial.
3. If your I-485 is denied, the EAD is become invalid. Then I am not sure about the AP status.
I am not sure but think you can use EAD if you go for appeal...
So its always good to have H1B as back up for EAD and AP. At least you will be in status.
you need to wait for the denial letter and see what can be done.
- cheers

The USCIS website says one need to file 6 months in advance for EAD. It may come out to be true now based on the flood of applications received after July 1st this year. I filed for EAD extentions 3 times in last three years and last 2 times I got in less than a month, this year it took close to 3 months. So always apply 6 months in advance as advised in website
