All your friends who got 221G are not telling you the truth. Was all their paperwork complete and ok? Probably not. No friend will admit their mistake and fraud. So they are telling you half story and blaming it on others. 221G is a good thing. It shows government is looking at possibe fraud and security risk seriously. National security is very important and highest priority for us living in US. H1B visa as a whole got a bad name due to fraud. It is not just employers but employees are also responsible for it. Employees are not illiterate or dumb to not understand any fraud. I wish more serious work is done by the government on every greencard application. If the system has clean cases, no anti-immigrant will point any finger and say the whole H1B system is bad.

Google for something called "Follow to Join", if you were single then why did you apply for 485? Atleast you could have withdrawn teh application if you had applied by mistake....
But for follow to join i think there is a clause that the person should be married before 485 gets approved, meaning the primary applicant did not add spouse to 485 and his 485 gets approved or the wife does not have 485 approval then they can use follow to join.
But do speak to an attorney if follow to join can be applicable in your case (i remember reading some 60 day limit or so) but please confirm and act accordingly.
Otherwise only other option you have is to get married and bring your spouse on any other visa like h1b or so.
Dontworry my friend speak to a good attorney they may advice what to do.

Some scenarios to consider
1. If 140 is approved and its been 6 months since date of 485 application and your company who sponsored is not revoking 140, then ability to pay might not matter and you don't care since you can use AC21
2. If 140 is approved and it has not been 6 months since 485 application date and you are on good terms with and your employer is not going to revoke your 140 , take an unpaid vacation to fill the 6 months gap if you can, then you are still safe to use AC21.
3. If your 140 is not approved but you have passed the 180 days litmus test and you use AC21 to move to another employer then the ability to pay might come in to picture if any RFE is done by USCIS.
4. If 140 is not approved and you have not passed 180 days its a variation of the 2nd case and if you can pull it off you can use AC21 and work elsewhere later.
there might be other scenarios but consider each of them carefully before making the decision. While it might seem a simple decision having come so far in your journey you don't want to make as wrong decision only to rue it.
- good luck
Hello Krishnam
I have a I-485 pending, and there is a chance I may be laid off after 180 days. Would I have to have another similar job offer at hand, or can I still continue looking for a job after 180 days of I-485 till I find one ?
Thank you for your help.

I have a medical RFE. RFE asks me to go back to the original Civil Surgeon. Since I have moved to different place going to same civil surgeon is not an option.
Has any one run into similar situation. If so please share your experience.
Maybe the IO is asking you to go to the original civil surgeon so they can make a correction/addition to the original.
I would advise you to get the whole medical redone from a new doctor(close to your home). This way IO doesnot have to compare the original and the additional results as per the RFE.
I went to a different civil surgeon as i had moved to a different state. Some doctors have a standard fee for immigration medical. Best would be for you to get the whole medical redone and submit. Take a copy of your previous medical so they can copy your immunization records. This way you can avoid some vaccinations:)

"Revitalizing the Golden State" looks great for reading but....
- Does legalized illegals really pay taxes?
- what is the possibility that they don't depend on Gov from the day they get their Citizenship?
- Illegals are here from more than 10 years....do the average age is around 40'.... they may work for 10 more years and then depend on Gov.
It is a know truth the advantage of giving GC to Legal EB's then Illegals but as you said we need clear message posted....
We see a lot of these articles every day praising illegal immigration. How about creating a google group with volunteers that will pick up such similar articels and post a rebuttal, either online or through another website?
The one we discussed yesterday was about how illegals contribute to the economy by paying $1.5 Billion in income tax for an estimated 15-20 million illegals.
This was estimated from the 2010 Census data.
We could initially post these rebuttals online on probably a section of the IV website and also send it to other news sites.
People who are good at parsing excel/MDB, csv sheets will be useful.
Most people are not aware of our issues and contributions to society.

Are there any restrictions on accepting salary-hike or salary-drop after 180 days. If so, upto what % increase/decrease is okay while changing jobs.
Please, share your thoughts.
PS:Just before filing my AOS I had promotion offer but HR/attorney said title and salary needs to be same as in LC or else it may jeopardise gc process. The max salaray increase allowed to me was 8%.
I understand after 180 days we are free to accept 'similar' jobs but how about salary increase or worst si, if salaray drops

Contact your local congressman / senator office and explain the erroneous denial of EAD twice and requested to help expedite the renewal this time to get EAD on time and to assist you to avoid financial loss by taking leave without pay. This might work.

Yes, it is all luck with this kind of stupid process they follow.
If some one in India talks about this stupidity before we come here will be nice I guess as once we come here with lot of ambitions and aspirations without knowing internals of stupidy we all get stuck, neither there nor here and keep waiting for GC dream to come true.
There is no logic for this process.

I'm more for a lowered tone...request, that is.
Thanks hsingh82! for the post and validating the site.

Thanks for the reply but how did you conclude 'Future AC21 Changes' will be retroactive?
again from the same Murthy article:
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_porret.html
When explaining the risk of potentially stricter AC21 regulations to I-485 applicants, we are frequently asked, "If I change jobs under AC21 and the regulations are released after that, they won't apply to me, right?" Unfortunately, this is not correct. While it is not possible to predict the content or effective date of any future regulations, they will likely apply at the time of adjudicating the I-485 application, and not just when the job change occurs. In a hypothetical example, if new regulations were to limit the percentage of acceptable salary difference, or prevent multiple portings, the officer adjudicating the I-485 could decide that the job change violates the regulations, even if the change occurred months or years before the new regulations were issued.

A company ( a US Fortune 10...nothing to do with India or any other developing country) filed for a GC almost three years back..They realized for employees of Indian origin...its taking a long time to get GC which restircts their ability to promote high potential employeess...offered a select few to accept their promotional jobs and as and when their H1B time is up, will be sent as expats outside of the US. When they come back, the'll get L1 and GC..
Moral of the story: Where there is a will ( or employee value) there is a way. Employment based immigration is based on the what the US company wants to do...as laws change so will the ways of US corporates....While the good / ethical US companies will continue to thrive...companies that adopt 'mickey mouse' tactics which get into trouble.

All,
This has been discussed before, but I could not find a definitive answer.
I live in Alabama and my I-485 is pending with Nebraska Service Center. Based on instructions in I-765 form, Alabama falls under Texas Service Center.
My category for I-765 EAD is -- (c) (9).
Now I am filing for my EAD renewal. Where should I send in my paper application -- Nebraska or Texas?
Would you all pl let me know. Last time my EAD was messed up big time, (wrong dates on EAD card), and I want to make sure everything goes normal this time.
Appreciate your reply.
Thanks.
You need to follow instructions. It makes no difference in processing time if your I-485 application is pending in NSC and based on instruction you need to apply in TSC and Vice Versa.
In fact I think, load sharing is going on. I applied I-765 at NSC but case is handled by MSC. Don't be surprized, that you apply at TSC and case being handled by other office.

Yes guys take this route .... Another workaround i used for getting H1B extension approval paper... I told Desi employer that my state requires H1 797 form to change the Drivers License... Lot of states do need that so i used that to get that.
You have to be tactical while dealing with Desi Employers !!
Curios, is your employer desi. Wait for sometime, tell him that you need to go to your home country and need receipt notice to use your AP in return. Catch is you have to use your EAD & AP after return.
