I think you have the wrong information. Senate is not ready to vote on it yet. S 2198 which is a part of PACE and holds relevance to the employment based immigration is still in committee hearings.

so. But since your 140 is approved the PD is yours. You have to find new employer, start from Labor process again.

I need some clarity on this issue. I know AC21 helps switching jobs within the same field/duties, but here is my line of thought... I'm past 2yrs on my H1 and I plan to do a part-time MBA (~3yrs) after which I'd like to be open on the kind of job I do.
Now, my questions are: (1) Does switching to EAD really pause the H1 clock?
(2) Is that triggered by filling a new I-9 form alone, or by entering the US on AP, or both?
(3) I guess, I should be able to apply for a fresh H1 with a new company and switch back from the EAD to new H1, right?
I know I'll lose the GC priority, especially wife's EAD, but I'm debating if it's worth losing my career aspirations? My info: Nov '06 EB2 PD, approved I-140, July 3 I-485 receipt and my present company will file our EAD/APs as long as it is necessary.
Looking for your input..... Thanks!

Hi,
My 6 yr H1B expires Dec 15,2009. I had applied for labor in 2008 and have received the case number for the labor dated June 26, 2008. My labor is not yet approved and online the status shows "pending". The company has not got any RFE against the labor. I dont know why its taking so much time. My main concern is, Can I apply for h1B extension on the basis of "Pending" Labor approval. What is the time frame to apply for an H1B extension? How long is the extension granted for ? 1 yr or 3 yrs....
Please advise ....
Thank You

Hi Guys:
I'm in a process of transfering my H1B to a new employer. I've already hired a lawyer and paid him his fee. The lawyer spoke to my employer and everything was going fine. Now, my new employer tells me that his company "froze hiring" untill further notice !?!
I'm wondering
1. Is my employer lying and why?
2. Can I somehow make my employer pay me back the money I already paid to the lawyer?

Hi,
I was working for a telecom company. I passed 6 years and then was on 1 year extension. Meanwhile my I140 was approved. Lately i was given pink slip and then transfer my H1 to another company. i couldn't join the company since i was waiting for approval notice for my H1 Transfer. Today i received the denial notice for my H1 transfer and extension. I called to the lawyer and they told me to file for B2 as they haven't received the notice as of yet. So the reason of denial is still unknown. I was wondering what are my current options? Should i wait and file a motion for the H1 transfer denial or should i go ahead with B2? Please advise.
Thanks

Hello forum participants.
I am a dependent on an I-485 application, with my father being the primary applicant. The application has been pending since 2001, so I decided to first threaten USCIS with a lawsuit, and then maybe file a writ of mandamus. My question is whether I have authority to do so as a dependent. Can I represent the whole family or at least myself? My father is leaving the country for some time and it will be hard for him to participate in the process.
Thanks!

I am currently on H-1b and my wife is on H-4. My current job will be terminated on 8/15 and my wife has received H1b approval notice to start full time on 10/1. We have a US born baby who requires future post-surgery follow-ups. I was on F-1 visa, requested OPT through the university, but I didn't applied to USCIS, because I got H-1b premium processing approval. My wife has a valid H-4, and unexpired B1/B2 visa. So my questions are:
a) Between 8/15 and 10/1, are we out of status?
b) I should file a change of status. Should I file
(b-1) H-1b to H-4 directly (effective 10/1)?
(b-2) H-1b to B1/B2 (before 8/15), then B1/B2 to H-4 (effective 10/1)?
(b-3) H-1b to F-1 (before 8/15), then F-1 to H-4 (effective 10/1)?
(b-4) F-1 OPT with university endorsement, if they are willing to do it?
c) Do I need to go abroad and actually get B1/B2 visa since I never got one? I think a change of status should be okay.
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Can anyone throw some light on this query...
I presently work for a cap excempt employer and now looking for employer who could file for my h1b under cap subjected in the month of april witha start date of oct 2008.
I would like the new employer to file my visa in such a way that, i could still continue with my present full time job even after oct 2008. Based on what i have understood, i guess if the new employer files as "COncurrent H1b" then i can join him at my wish after oct 2008 provided new emplyer has not revoked my h1b. Am i right..???
Also ..how many concurrent h1b can i have at a time..???
I don't want to miss this year quota, so want to make sure i take all precaution to get h1b cleared.
Greatly apprecite inputs...

Congress Deserves Better Ratings, But Not by Much (http://www.rollcall.com/issues/53_22/kondracke/19839-1.html) By Morton M. Kondracke | Roll Call, September 6, 2007
Congress returned to town this week with its poll ratings even lower than President Bush's. That's because nearly all the public ever sees is Members fighting and accomplishing nothing.
But it's not a completely accurate picture. By the time Congress adjourned for the August recess, it actually had racked up some legislative accomplishments that voters didn't appreciate.
So perhaps a fair grade for the 110th Congress so far would be an F for style, a C-plus for effort and an Incomplete for quality of achievement. There is plenty of room for checking the box "shows improvement."
What Congress has accomplished this year came in two bursts - the first "100 hours," when the House pushed through much of its promised "Six in '06" agenda, and the final 100 hours or so last month, when both the House and Senate processed a bevy of legislation.
In between, what occurred was five months of nearly nonstop ugliness - failed Democratic efforts to stop the Iraq War, a fractious and futile fight over immigration reform, vengeful exercises of legislative oversight designed to discredit the Bush administration, and shouting matches between majority Democrats and minority Republicans.
Even the pre-adjournment legislative push was clouded over by a raucous, late-night dust-up over a thwarted House GOP move to deny benefits to illegal immigrants that made for great television, doubtless reinforcing the public's impression of a Congress in total disarray.
It's not a complete misimpression. Partisan wrangling is the dominant activity of this Congress. It makes a mockery of the fervent proclamations by leaders of both parties in January that they understood voters' dismay with endless, pointless point-scoring and the desire that Congress solve their urgent problems.
Congress' failure to make problem-solving its dominant activity accounts for its low public esteem. Polls on public approval of Congress average 22 percent, compared with 33 percent for Bush. An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll showed that only 14 percent have confidence that Congress will do the right thing.
But Congress has done some things right this year and notice should be taken of them.
A statistical rundown by Brookings Institution scholars published in The New York Times on Aug. 26 showed that the current House is running well ahead of recent Congresses in terms of days in session, bills passed and hearings held. The Senate has a mixed record.
One signal, unappreciated accomplishment was overwhelming passage of a $43 billion program designed to bolster America's competitiveness by doubling its scientific research budget and training more scientists and linguists.
Sponsored by Sens. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.) and Reps. Bart Gordon (D-Tenn.) and Vernon Ehlers (R-Mich.), the final bill passed the House 367-57 and by voice vote without dissent in the Senate.
Other bills passed and sent to the president this year include an increase in the minimum wage, lobbying and ethics reform and homeland security enhancements fulfilling the recommendations of the presidential 9/11 commission.
Also on the list, but the subject of ongoing partisan division, was last-minute legislation authorizing the government to conduct no-warrant intercepts of electronic communication between two overseas parties when the messages pass through a server in the United States.
Civil liberties groups, many Democrats and some editorial writers contend that the measure authorized "domestic spying on U.S. citizens," but the objections seem to reflect distrust of the Bush administration more than any leeway in the law to tap persons in the United States.
Congress will revisit the issue and to the extent that controversy continues, it will reinforce public dismay that its leaders would rather fight than protect them from terrorism.
Meanwhile, some of the claimed accomplishments of the Democratic Congress are less than stellar. Energy bills passed by both chambers fall far short of setting the nation on a path to independence. Neither contains a gasoline tax, encouragement for nuclear power or provisions to expand America's electricity grid.
Farm legislation that passed the House limits subsidies to the richest American farmers but basically leaves intact a subsidy system for corporate farmers that artificially inflates land values, inhibits rural development, hurts farmers in poor countries and puts the U.S. in danger of world trade sanctions.
Bush has signaled his intention to veto both the House farm bill and the Senate energy bill - and also both the House and Senate measures expanding the State Children's Health Insurance Program. The Senate SCHIP bill has funding flaws but basically is a responsible, bipartisan bill that deserves to survive a veto.
With Congress back, the prospect is for more combat with Bush, largely over spending and Iraq. The country will be lucky to avoid government shutdowns as the two sides trade charges that the other is fiscally irresponsible.
And a flurry of progress reports on Iraq is only stimulating new rancor, despite widespread underlying agreement that troop withdrawals need to be gradual and responsible.
Congress and the Bush administration ought to resolve to improve their public esteem not at each other's expense, but by seeking agreement in the public interest. Admittedly, the chances are slim.

I entered usa in H4 visa in july 2008 , while my H1 was applied from india in april 2008 ,and H1 got approved . now my employer is forcing me to do COS(H4 to H1) or go to india for stamping because he can't hold my H1 in a approved state so long . due to current market condition and so many rejections i am afraid to go for COS . He is asking $2800 only for regular COS processing !!!! thats too high , he is going to file fresh H1 petition I129 along with COS I539 .
my question is
instead of applying fresh H1 petition i.e I129 , since my H1 is already in approved state so can i apply only I539 for changing my status ?

Good find. I had apprehensions about the tax filing next year for 2008 but got it cleared here.
Q. Will the payment I receive in 2008 reduce my 2008 refund or increase the amount I owe for 2008?
A. No, the Stimulus Payment will not reduce your refund or increase the amount you owe when you file your 2008 return.

Hi,
I am currently on H1B and I am marrying a US citizen in January. Please guide me which documents I need to file for GC.
Thanks
Once you get married and get your License your spouse can file for I-130, I485 concurrently. You can file for EAD and Advance parole also along with this you need affidavit of support I-824

The storyline continues. Last year, 13,500 regular H-1B applications were counted in the first week and 5,600 advanced degree applications. This year 5,900 regular applications were received in the first week and 4,500 advanced degree petitions. USCIS just reported that in the second week of counting, 7,100 regular cases were receipted and 5,100 advanced degree applications. That's roughly the typical weekly usage we saw last year and if the pace doesn't change much, the cap will potentially be hit one to two months later than for FY2011. Later this summer as the cap starts to get a little closer to...
