There is no such status as "out of project". Based on the fact that you do not have a job and your employer is not paying you, you are out of status already. It is your employer's responsibility to pay you no matter you have a project or not. In fact, it is because of cases like yours that USCIS has raided those desi body shops and put them behind bars.
My advice to you is change your stauts ASAP to F-1 or if you are married, then to H4.
If the bove two options are not something you can do, please leave the country.
I already put a transfer in Oct 2008. since I am not sure about H1b approval of old company.
Its in pening status.
Out of project since one month.
Thanks

So you apply about 4 months in advance? Are you then not losing about 3 months of your previous validity due to this practice?
not sure what you mean.
If your new validity date starts before the current one expires then yes you might lose the time depending on how fast your EAD was approved.
In my experience there has been no consistency in the issuance of the validity date in the past. I have received cards where the new validity date has been the day after my current EAD expired thereby me not losing any time and there have been times when I have lost time due to new validity date being prior to my current one expiring.
As per USCIS rules you can apply for renewal 120 days before your current one expires and not before that. Remember you can also apply for renewal a day before or even after expiry, its just that you cannot work as long as you do not have a valid EAD(or other work permit like H1B, L1 etc).
So as long as you are not at the risk of losing your job due to no EAD in hand I guess you can apply anytime once your 120 day window kicks in.
PS:Above is just my understanding of the system and should not be taken as legal advise. For any clarifications please consult your attorney.

Hi,
If you have used the H1 approval to go out of the country and get the visa stamped and then come back in, the white I-94 given at the airport supersedes the one in the H1 approval. That is the core issue.
Regarding an earlier question, you can contact any local "international" airport - in my case, my port of entry was Detroit, but I got the correction done in Cleveland.

I don't know if I didn't understand this right but one of my friends came to U.S like 5 yrs back in 2002.
Never left the country fo far.
She came on H4 and at that time her I-94 was till Apr/2005.
She got H1 in 2004 with new I-94 till May/2007.
Got her H1 extension( with new I-94 dates.)
The I-94 she got at the port of entry expired but her employer told her it is not a problem as her H1 has a I-94 with new dates.
I know in your cases(s) you have passport expiry thing. But I guess it's still the same right. I gues your H1 will have new I-94 in it .So what is the descrepency?
Please let me know .
Thank you.

No. You do not pay double Taxes.
US & Canada have a tax treaty. Nearly always Canadian Income Tax is higher than US, so you pay US taxes first and then when you file Canadian taxes you get credit for the amount of US Taxes you paid.
so ex you make 70 K and your US Taxes come to 20 K , you go ahead and pay 20K. Then when you file Canadian taxes, your tax amt comes out to be say 25 K You will then only pay Canada Revenue 5 K difference.
Only complication is Canada doesnt recognise US 401K contribution or mortgage as tax deductable, so you will have to calc Canadian taxes on gross income.

Degree may be from anywhere in world as long as the institute is accredited by local accredeting body. I checked U21 and really could not understand its legal status. It looks like a group of universities under one umbrella body. As long as you have a degree from a accredited university, you are fine.
Once again, you will need a Masters degree , a diploma will mostly not work (but check with attorney)

Hello Friends:
Recently Vermont center processing time for H-1B extensions moved to Oct-1-2007. As per new USCIS reporting method of processing times, what this means is, they have COMPLETED processing applications received as of Oct-1-2007. This means, people who have applied for extension after Oct-1st should be getting their approvals these days.
I want to find out which dates currently they are at based on your feedback of your application date and whether you received approval or not as of today.
My case: Applied Oct-30-2007 Status: Pending
Thanks.
My H1B extension applied on Nov 10th
Status :- Pending and No lud's so far.

Is it too much to ask Google to put a Diwali logo like it does for Hanukkah or Christmas .. at least if not in google.com but in google.co.in?
Also is it too much to expect American mainstream media to totally NOT ignore Diwali which has significance for the second largest population in the world and instead publish significantly less significant story of the balloon boy?
Is it too much to ask for to include Diwali in the spell check for this editor? (Not wailing or Gwalior ...)
It is this mentality of deliberately ignoring the feeling of majority of the world population that is getting the western civilization more and more isolated and retracted.
Well it doesn't really matter. And I am visiting India now and I can see that this country and China will definitely kick ass of Western civilization .. as it is already doing. The people here are hungry for more and in spite of seemingly unsurmountable problems it will succeed and once again India will be the "Sone Ke Chiriya".
With this thoughts and wishing peace .. happy and prosperous diwali to everyone.
May Lord Rama bless the world.
Wow.. I don't understand why we always make a big fuss of such things. Do we think that we are so special or we are just too sensitive because of our inferiority complex. Invent something that will change the world for better, win some gold medals in Olympics, improve the quality people by building better infrastructure, innovate and accomplish and the world will automatically notice. And yes, don't be an hypocrite, go back and do something good if you truly believe in it. Change starts within and courage to accept one's weakness leads to strength. Patting yourselves in the back for the achievement made so far only bring complacency and my friend we have a long way to go!
Cheers

JunRN...if u see the first post in this thread, USCIS has clarified their estimate of 485 apps.
they say they received 320k I485 applications plus 400k+ ead+ap apps.
so by using the 1 primary applicant = 2.5 total applicants per family
320,000/2.5 = 128000 unique Labor certifications/ primary applicants.

2000-2002 was worst. Who didnt do job search during that time have no idea how it felt like.
I just came out of school then and it felt like sky is falling on me. Becoming desparate to survive, i went to work in a gas station. The lady owner didnt pay me after i worked for a week saying i am not concentrating enough. Then out of no where i found a technology job that paid 17$ per hour to keep me going and they did my H1 a year later in 2002. It just made me more strong i guess. But, it is a hell of an experience. Most of my freinds went for second masters or PHD to Keep the status.

Since there was talk of the HR 5882 being taken up in two months time in a lame duck session, I thought it might be helpful to have this on this page.
Source = http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/uscongress/a/lameduck.htm
Lame Duck Sessions of the U.S. Congress
Once rare, now commonplace
By Robert Longley, About.com
Lame duck sessions of the U.S. Congress happen in even numbered years when Congress has to reconvene following the November general election to take care of unfinished legislation. Some lawmakers who return for this session lost their bids for reelection and will not be in the next Congress. Hence, they are informally called "lame duck" members participating in a "lame duck" session.
The possibility of lame duck sessions of Congress began in 1935, when the 20th Amendment1 to the U.S. Constitution2 took effect. Under this amendment, ratified in 1933, regular sessions of Congress begin on January 3 of each year, unless Congress passes a law in the previous session changing the date. Also, the terms of members begin and end on January 3 of odd-numbered years. Under these arrangements, any meeting of Congress between election day in an even-numbered year and the following January 3 is considered a lame duck session.
Why lame duck sessions are bad
Lame duck sessions are never desirable. Defeated lame duck lawmakers, knowing they will not have jobs in the new Congress, either tend to "just go through the motions" while debating and voting on remaining important legislation or, in worse cases, attempt to hinder or even damage the lawmaking process. On the state level, the legislatures of only 11 states even allow lame duck sessions.
By far the most dismal scenario for a lame duck session is whenever one of the two major political parties has taken away majority control of one or both houses of Congress from the other party, as happened after the 2006 mid-term election, when the Democrats won control of both the House and Senate from the Republicans. In these instances, with political tempers already running hot, the temptation for lame duck members to vent their frustrations by working to stall good bills, while turning bad bills into worse laws, becomes even greater.
Why lame duck sessions happen
Once rare, lame duck sessions have become all too common. The final days of the 109th Congress in November and December of 2006 became the 16th lame duck session since 1940.
The typical "target" date for the annual adjournment of each session of Congress is during the first week in October. The target adjournment date has become a total myth in recent years. The first session of the 109th Congress, for example, did not achieve final adjournment until Dec. 22, 2005.
During far too many recent years, the main reason for lame duck sessions has been Congress' failure to complete its work on the spending, or "appropriations" bills that form the basis of the annual federal budget. By law, the federal budget process3, including passage of the spending bills, begins the first Monday in February of each year and should be concluded by October 1st, the start of the federal government's Federal Fiscal Year. Failing to pass the spending bill by October 1, Congress is compelled to pass "continuing resolutions4," legislation that allows the government operate temporarily without an approved budget at the previous year's spending levels.
Lame duck sessions: some bad, some not so bad
Some sessions are not particularly productive, often because of political disputes and the difficulties of reaching legislative decisions in a post-election environment. In 1982 and 2002, for example, Congress returned after the November election in part to complete work on most of the spending bills. In each case, it failed to do so and the new Congress had to enact large continuing resolutions to fund government operations for the fiscal year already in progress.
Other lame duck sessions, such as the one held in 1980, have been more productive. On that occasion, Congress approved budget resolution and reconciliation measures, five regular appropriations bills and a continuing resolution, an Alaska lands bill, a landmark environmental cleanup "superfund" bill, a measure extending revenue sharing, a revision of military pay and other benefits, and a bill changing the appointment power of the Senate President pro tempore.

People who can afford to donate, please go ahead and donate.
People who cannot afford to donate, dont worry and donate when you can.
People have received help in someway or the other by being a part of IV.
Let us not worry about the transparency. Lets appreciate what IV is already doing.
I never donated but got help from people on the forum. It is wrong to say that only donors get help.
Let us do the best we can and stop there!!

I just don't understand one basic question.
Congress is trying to pardon 12 million illegals as a one time measure and give them Green Cards. (OK - Very good)
On the other hand we are about half a million who entered the country legally and helping the U.S. economy and paying taxes. Why don't they consider giving all of us Green Cards as a one time measure too ?????
We the legals... pay taxes, contribute to this economy by spending earned money here in the US, abide by the rules, carry medical insurance.
We keep doing this, till we get our green cards or till we permanently leave this country. It is a win - win situation.
The strict H1-B rules that are added to this Senate bill will be removed or some work around will be sorted out or else the US economy will go down.
The question now is how confident we are that they will get an amendment to give us some EB visa relief.
The high tech employers have a problem with the new merit based system which is going to take away the reins of holding an employee from them. Employers of other industries have raised their concern against this new system which gives more points to degrees and not skill. This system is also causing a lot of concern among the familiy members here.This system will take a lot of time to kick in.
1) The tech lobbyist can add pressure to give relief to current members in backlog so that they can hire them soon. They know that many skilled people are stuck with their companies because they can't switch due to the GC process.
2) Can add pressure by saying that they need us now and not after 5 years when we get our GC.
3) We need to force them to understand that they should give relief to legals too when they are doing a lot for the illegals.
That is all I think can be possible.

3) cic.gc.ca is a good place to start with keeping consultants aside.

You are a citizen of one of the countries listed below, and the worker on whose record your benefits are based lived in the U.S. for at least 10 years or earned at least 40 credits under the U.S. Social Security system.
Thats the confusing part
This seems to indicate someone else will get benefit payments but not the worker himself / herself.
This part refers to family benefits, i.e. payments to spouse based on your SS contributions.
Question: Why Canada is not in the list of countries?

Thank you very much for the reply. The reason for stressing so much is I already started the study and finish 3 subjects. Now again I need to start with new university.
Doing masters is not a problem.
U21 has another alternative where they give degree from University of Malbourne, which got AACSB accreditation this year only. If I will continue the education and complete masters and get a degree from University of Malbourne then U21. Will that work?
Or I need degree from US based university?
