My company lawyer had advised me that it is perfectly legal to do moonlighting using EAD card while holding down permanent job on H1-B.

Hi Everyone,
Is it really necessary to inform USCIS of change of address.
Do mails,notifications or cards from USCIS get forwarded to the new ADDRESS like all other mails.
Will appreciate your views.
It is a requirement. Download AR11 read and follow it

Look at the bright side buddy . It is definitely something to look forward to and provides hope that you might get the magic email of getting your GC any day. Of course three year H1 extension and two year EAD is the problem but you are looking on the wrong side. If you get the GC neither will you need the H1 nor the EAD.
And I don't think you are thinking about the money wasted by just having a 1 year H1 and EAD because I am sure you will get your GC in the next one year at least . Cheer up. Things could be worse ( you could be EB3 - 2008 ! )

Alright my last understanding was wrong.
So to recap what I understand :-
You have a PD of 2002 in EB3. Have approved I-140 and pending 485.
What you want to do is file a new labor in EB2, use your approved I-140 to change PD to 2002 and then file 485 in EB2.
Since you have a 485 filed, why would you want another 485 ?
Possible reason :- You think EB3 is retrogressed right now - so the final approval may not come for another 2 years possibly ( i.e. if no bills pass )
If you convert your case to EB2 which is current, you may have your actual GC much sooner.
Now to your question - what happens if the old employer revokes I-140.
I've come across different answers to it. There are lawyers who believe that once your 140 is approved, the PD is yours for life. Only time you will lose it is if the 140 is revoked due to fraud. Normal revocation request from employer will not impact it. Some lawyers are of the opinion that it may not work this way. This is an untested scenario - atleast to my knowledge. There is some risk in it but you can minimize it by first asking the new employer to file a PERM in EB2, get it approved, file for I-140 in Premium and change your PD. Once all of this is done, you should change your company to the new employer ( provided dates are still current for EB2 ). This way you run very little risk.
If I were you, I would use AC-21 to change employers. The process you are trying to go is a long one and its going to take time. But yes, there are distinct advantages in getting over with this process and probably I might had been tempted to do it too :-)
Sorry for the long winded answer - the short answer is revocation of I-140 by your previous employer will not impact your PD transfer. But its not for certain - its believed to be so by some lawyers. ( I've talked to 3 of them on this issue and majority feels it will not impact )

Guys,
Also, I see there is a suggestion to NOT count Dependants in the VISA numbers, since they are not counted for other visa (H1) status. Its a very good suggestion. We just have to be ready with the counter-argument, if we are told, H1 Dependant is H4 and not eligible to work. However, once GC is approved, that spouse gets equivalent benefits and hence its counted.
H1B is temporary visa.
Green Card is permanent.
On H1B you can even come to USA for 1 day and go back. But on Greencard you are asking to say here permanently with family. You are also asking for family be given all Green Card benefits like ability to work etc. So it makes sense to count dependents. On H1B the employer is only giving you the job and calling you. So you get work permit. Wife and children do not. You are being called only because USA needs your valuable skills and they cannot find Americans. There is no I485 stage on H1B visa. Wife coming on H4 is only to stay with you. This is understood even before she applied for the visa. So there is no reason for wife to complain that she cannot work on H4. On Greencard I485 stage, once the employer has established no American is available to work, you petition USCIS to allow your wife to stay with you as you also will stay permanently. in I485 you ask for the benefits of permanent residency for wife and children.
So it makes sense for counting dependents in the quota. What we should focus on is removing country limits. Country limits are discriminatory. It is morally wrong.

One friend of mine get his GC in the end of September/07 after filing AOS concurrently with I 140 in a middle of June 2007! His PD was Aug.2004(EB3-ROW)
Your friend was a lucky one (like me) who got a visa number allocated very quickly in that brief window. It was relatively rare, and you can guarantee that it is very far from the norm.
Like it has been mentioned in this thread:- rule of thumb, PD must be current for AOS in and out :)

The same thing happened with me also...........this is just plain BS to put us off for atleast 6 months. USCIS does not even tries to find where the hell the case is and will send you the standard letter.
Let all know the outcome of contacting the senators and I might just follow your foot steps. I know for sure that my case is just waiting a visa # still I had opened up a SR to know where abouts of my case.
Man,if ever I get my citizenship, I'd surely sue USCIS for all this bullshit. Your case is way beyond normal processing time and when you file a SR, they send a std. reply asking you to contact after 30 to 60 days. After sixty days, you file another SR and get the same reply and this goes on and on till someone shows mercy!
Will American's put up with this bullshit? Imagine they going to a DMV and asked to come back over and over again before getting a DL. Imagine waiting for years and years to get a passport. I'm sure they wont and expect reasonable service from the government.
It's our time that we have to put up with all these nonsense.
I know, this is a choice we made to come and work here....At the same time, all we are asking for is a reasonable level of service and USCIS is hell bent on denying it.

Hi All:
Question: I have a I-140 PD Sept 2005 - EB-3, And completed 4.5 years (6year end oin July 2008) on H1. I changed the job in Jan, 2007 and using the approved I-140- 3 year H1 Ext rule, I received my extention for 3 year until 2010. Now my new employer des not want to file for greencard for 1 year. meanwhile if my old employer withdraws my I-140 what would happen in this case, if I start my LC application in jan 2008.
There is technically no link between the extended H1 and the Labor / I140 approval, if you have any labor application pending for more than 1 year OR a Approved 140 at the time of next renewal you are fine. Here is why i say that, one of my co worker had a labor application filed in 2001 and he completed his 6 years in 2004 (mid year), he got his H1 extended (7th year) based on the pending application. Since the labor application was taking for ever (it was complicated, it was filed in RIR and later USCIS changed it to regular and stuff like that) our company filed a new one in 2004 Jan from a different location. Some time in late 2005 his original Labor application got denied and his H1 was up for another renewal (8th year) in 2005 technically it sounded like a big problem but the company lawyers used the second labor application which was filed in 2004 (while he was in his 6th year, after completing 5 years) which was pending for more than 1 year by mid 2005 and he got extensions, infact he has got another (9th year ) and is currently up for the 10th year extension ..... no Issues.
Please consult with a good Lawyer and confirm the same

Can we contact journos like Neil Cavuto, Sheryl Casone to talk about how giving GC to legals like us can stimulate economy in someway?
I noticed these Business section journos are endlessly talking about ways to prevent the recession.
We can suggest them to talk about recapturing of visas & giving the legals GCs as it can contribute towards (to some extent) a possible stimualtion to the economy(it will surely add to the percentage...) surely we are boosting the spending by making high earning legals spend more on say housing or Autos by giving them GCs...
Not sure if IV gurus are thinking on these lines.

what are your plans for I-485 filing? are you going to interfile your existing EB3 485 application with EB2 I140 or file a new 485 application for EB2? what is your lawyer recommending?

Reason for rejection is at that time visa numbers were not available.
Whats your PD...Iam assuming you applied in 05/2005 because the vb said your dates were current.

My father had the same problem. On 30th he had his interview and the VO said he will get his passport back in 5 days. Well he did not get it back till yesterday. Today the status has changed on VFS website saying it has been sent by courier. Just wait a little bit longer and I am sure you will get it too. PRobably because of the holiday season they took more time than usual.

You can add a MouseLeftButtonDown event to pretty much any element! Just select and use the Events tab to set your event handler name: http://www.kirupa.com/net/creating_simple_wpf_gui_app_pg5.htm
Both Blend and VS will auto-generate the event handler where you can insert some code :)
Thanks. I actually figured it out, sort of.
So what I did was drag and drop the icon into my project then turned the icon into a control using the 'Make into control' option (right click option); selected Button from the list and left everthing else as is. From here, I selected button from the tab (says [Button]) under the project name. example: mainpage.xmal).
So basic what this does is overlay the icon image with an actual button control.
Moving on.
I then selected the button (icon image) in my project and in the properties panel (on the right) under 'Common Properties' removed the word "button" from the 'Content' label.
Switched to event view (it's the rectangle with the lighting bolt -- top right) and in the box next to 'Click' gave it a meaningful name, i.e. query_Click or query or something. I think after this the MainPage.xaml.cs should open.
