I found this while searching. That matches my scenario exactly - Please let me know if what the users have posted is accurate. i.e., i can be in india (without payroll) till my h1 validity - this would not have my h1 revoked.

Not in CA. My wife did her entire credentailing program with out a social security number. She got her Credentail certificate from California Commission of Tecahers and finger printing also done for teaching based on that temporary number allocated by her school.

Does replying to RFE along with all required documents means GC is coming soon ??
Augustus..did you get GC yet ?
Thanks
My husband too replied to the RFE. So far, there has been only case resumed message. I am not sure if this kind of RFE will result in a Green Card. I pray that we all get our cards soon. I feel we have all given our share of sacrifices and played it fair and square so far.

For some reason I remember this Venkat80 got his GC approved. If he is the same guy and playing with our emotions then this guy must be banned right away from IV. Otherwise I am sorry..
You are right I remember that he posted that he got his GC recently.

AFAIK, you will start accruing unlawful status once your 485 denied and you do not have a non-immigrant to status to backup. You should stop working. You will regain the status (i.e. pending AOS) only after the MTR is approved.
If you can post the legal references to support your point, it will really help many IVans.
You are right, what i meant to say is that a MTR turnaround time is usually less than 6 months. And its not that the I-485 keeps getting denied more than once. For one denial, assuming a turn around time of 4-5 months, its still within 180 days of the 'allowed' time to work while out of status.

May not be direct answer to your question, but I had the same issue 3 years back - though my situation was a little bit different as I was changing dept. within the company - i also had arguments from both sides of the fences......eventually the company lawyer went ahead and filed an AMMENDED H1-B!!!!!......And on my GC application it has been shown as 2 different jobs.....now the sad part....when I suggested to the lawyer to file in EB-2 category instead of EB-3 (I know it also depends on the job description) because I had experience (previous job in the same company) + MS degree......the same lawyer said that it is not counted as 2 separate jobs because you were in the same company:(.......might be he was correct both the time (though I have my own doubts).....but I would advise to do what the lawyer suggests......unless you have some solid proof to back your theory!!!

Hi folks,
Here's my situation:
Currently applied for 485 and waiting for receipt
Will be applying for EAD/AP this week.
I am working Company XYZ, in State A, City A currently and will be transferring to State B, City B within the same company, with the same job designation/description etc., absolutely no changes on that front and virtually no change in salary but in compliance with prevailing wage etc. for State B, City B.
Also the transfer is not going to affect my 485 because of my 140 which said "relocation within the US may be necessary" and this was expected when I started my GC.
The issue is with a technicality - my PERM was for XYZ, Inc and the same company in State B is called XYZ Engineering Inc, technically 2 different companies and that's because every state has its own rules as to how a national company can be registered/operated.
Coming to my question re H1B:
My corporate attorney says that due to this technicality, my H1B needs to be AMENDED which according to my GC attorney is the same as applying for a new H1B but not having to wait in line. My question is whether this will have a negative impact on my pending 485/EAD/AP in any way.
Please advice. Anything will help.
Thanks in advance.

I am planning a trip to India in late december. I went to the Hyderabad consulate website to see if I can get a appointment for my H-1B renewal for Dec/Jan09. I have read that the consulate would be functional in December but they have no system yet for taking appointments. I guess one more trip to Chennai! For this trip, I will enjoy the new Shamshabad airport.

1. With the latest mess with DOS and USCIS, are we asking them too much by asking them to just accept the 485 applications and provide interim benefits and are ready to wait for the approval of the green card for 4 or 5 years?
2. Do you think DOS and USCIS are pushing hard and churning money from the Legal immigrants who go by the law by increasing fees every year or 2?
3. IS any politician considering any relief for the peoples who go by the book and pay taxes?
4. Do u think becoming illegal rather than being legal provides some relief considering what ever has happend in the last decade?

Hello experts,
My situation:
1) H1- I have completed 6 years on H1 in Oct 2010.Out of six years,I stayed out of US for more than 1.5 years.
2) EAD- I had ead since 2007 but started using it since Oct 2010 for first emplyer.
Now using ead for working with the present (second) employer as a permanent employee.
3) AP- getting AP regularly since 2007.Used AP twice in 2010 and once in 2011.Initially my H1 emplyer asked me to use it,since I was not on project.
In 2011, I used it,since my H1 was also expired.
4) I-485 - filed in July 2007 only for myself on EB3( my family didn't able to come to US during that period)
PD July 2006
Earlier my family was situated in India and had H4, so they were able to travel.Since kids are studying ,they prefered to stay there for education.
Now I am in difficult situation, since if family decides to come to US after the education, they won't be able to travel , since they lost their dependent status.
Using travel visa won't be helpful for longer stay.
My previous H1 emplyer told me that the family greencard applications could be filed once the PD becomes current.Based on present dates,it is going to take 5-6 years.
Options: Is it possible to convert from ead to H1?[I want to use H1 only for the family to maintain their H4 status.With H4, they could be able to travel as per the situation.
Since I am working as a permanent employee, it will be easy to renew/maintain H1.
Is it possible to convert ead to H1? What could be the consequences?
Please advice.:confused:
Thanks

My husband received a �Transfer Notice� for his I-485 from TSC. This is what the notice says.
"Preliminary Processing of the application has been completed, and it has been transferred to USCIS-NBC, Lee's summit , MO 64064. The office will notify you when they schedule an interview on the application."
Here is brief history.
My PD is July-04 in EB2. I am the primary applicant and I am on H1. My husband was on H4 and now he is on EAD. My I-485 was filed in NSC, and then moved to TSC. Here are my ?s.
1. What is meant by �Preliminary Processing of the application has been completed�? What is completed actually?
2. I did not receive any such notice so far, is it quite normal?
3. Came to US on L1 blanket visa and didn�t submit the approval notices for my husband, since there is no separate approval notices for the dependents coming on L blanket visa. May be is it, because of this?
4. My husband had a DUI in March 2003, and that case was closed. It was a misdemeanor, and not a felony. Is this notice because of my husband�s DUI record?
5. Also, I raised �Expedite Service Request� twice, because of my husband�s serious heart condition, and faxed the medical letter to uscis as a proof , however this request got rejected both the times. May be, is it to verify the medical condition?.
6. Will something related to my AOs be decided based on how we answer.
7. Can I accompany my husband for the interview?
I am really concerned about the interview. Please let me know what you know about this.
Thanks.

Compared to US, Software Engg position in India sucks a lot. It makes sense only if you are a manager in India. I know batchmates went to work in Texas Instruments in Bangalore and after a year or 2 later, got frustrated with the insfrastructure etc there.

Hi,
I hope, all is well.
I filed my applications for Green Card. I did concurrent filing for I-140 & I-485 applications in September-2007. I got EAD in December-2007 but I-140 case is still pending.
I am working with the company which filed my Green Card but very soon I would resign from them/there as there is no work over there. They would still continue my I-140 case even I resign from there.
I need your help as:
(1) Can I work on 1099 (as I have EAD & I-140 is still pending)?
OR
(2) I need to work on W2 (means: cannot work on 1099) [as I have EAD & I-140 is still pending]?
Please, advise me as soon as possible.
:confused:
Best regards,
Rajiv

Guys --
I got 485 Card production order and welcome notice email yesterday . I am assuming that means I got PR . my company has filed for H1 -B extension last week itself . what will happen to that extension , do we need to revoke/withdraw that petition ?
has anyone being in this situation ?
Thanks,
gandalf
Since you are a permanent resident (green card holder) now, H1-B petition must be denied. But, it should not matter.

I got an approval in March 2007 and status still says 'the notice that USCIS sent was returned as undeliverable". As I guess approval notice was sent to my employer's old address and so returned. My employer got address changed and sent request to Nebraska Service Centere to resent the documents, but documents not received yet. Still waiting.
Thanks!
How did you employer request to Nebraska Service Centere to resent the documents ?

Make sure that everyone in the family who has a pendng 485 has the travel document (AP); otherwise 485 will be considered abandoned.
If you are traveling by road and the trip is < 30 days, just use Automatic visa revalidation and do not surrender I 94 and come back on the old I 94.
If you are travelling by air or if trip is > 30 days, surrender I 94 and you can enter any way (on H1/H4 or AP does not matter as long as everyone HAS an AP).
Good Luck with your trip.

Yes, Iam in the same boat too.
My I485 has been moved from NSC-CSC-NSC. No updates nothing at all.
I had to call and let them know that i had done my Biomterics in Dec 2007.
And also i was one of those unfortunate people , whose application was not approved , inspite of the dates being current for 2 months.
EB2 - Dec 2005
I140 approved - Oct 2006
