Has anyone on a EAD or H1 taken a FHA house loan?

I am on EAD and will be closing my loan (refinance) this week. I had explained my immigration status to the broker upfront, and they had no objection to moving with the loan. My lender is US Bank.

I was under the impression you could apply for PR from and L1A, I am confused with your reply, why can we not apply for PR from an L1A? If the processing times are shorter then maybe it could be processed before our visa expiration.
Your can apply for PR while in L-1A status, however if the L-1A expires before you have reached the 3rd step, you need to leave the US. That's why it would have been better to change to H-1B, so that the nonimmigrant status could be extended while the PR process was pending. Even if he is EB-2, it will take at least a year, and much longer if you and your husband were born in or China, before you can file the 3rd step.

I am working with Company B on H-1b. My GC labor, I-140, I-485 and EAD is filed by Company A. Now, I am close to getting EAD in few weeks. Few say that once EAD is approved, then I have start working for Company A immediately. Others say that GC and EAD is for future employment with Company A and hence, I should start working for Company A only after GC is approved.
So, I have two questions and need advice.
1. When should I start working for Company A, upon approval of EAD or approval of GC.
Ideally, I would like to start working for Company A upon approval of GC.
2. Even, if I want to transfer EAD to Company B, the job title differs as the job title on GC is more junior than the current role.
Please let me know if anyone has similar situation and need what the reality is when EAD is approved.
Thanks.

My observation... based on i140 application
My case was sent to NSC and it remained in NSC, however applications of 5 colleagues of mine got transfered to TSC... and another 3 remained at NSC
There seems to be a pattern on how they transfer cases from NSC to TSC based on last name (this is totally based on a very small specimen)... posting it here to know if it holds any water
Last name starting with A, C, E, G, I, K..... transfered to TSC
Last name starting with B, D, F, H, J, L..... stayed at NSC
any comments? again this is only based on my observation on a very small # of cases

desitechie has already provided a sound answer. That said, EAD/H1 shouldn't be much of a difference for normal situations. Yes, you will lose the ability to reenter the US when traveling internationally without going through secondary inspection, but that additional time is negligible in the big scheme of things.
As for AC21, my take is don't bother unless you get an RFE. No harm in sending in upfront either.
Your entry status will be AOS, when you use AP.
Good luck for your new job.

One says, I can only remove my Future employer "X", who has filed for my GC, and carry my Priority Date , AFTER I get new PERM and new I140 from the new company.
Other one says, don't worry just move to new Employer and I don't need to refile PERM and I140.
Both lawyers are mentioned over 10 times on this web-site and both are VERY reputed.
I have NEVER worked for employer X, It was a future position and I may still join them.
I have approved 140 and 485 is pending for about 9 months.
EAD is approved and so is AP.
Please help guys!
you dont need to refile PERM and I-140. Since your I-140 was approved and 485 is pending for 9 months you can simply invoke AC-21 and move to another employer.
See questions 2 & 3 here:
http://www.murthy.com/news/UDac21qa.html#3
Did you ask the attorney why they think you need a new filing when you qualify for AC-21 on your existing filing? this might simply be a misunderstanding...

It looks like I replied you sometime back.
Your best bet is to file another premium H1B showing all the background and your second I-140. Also attach a clear letter quoting the specific sections of immigration act. Time is critical here, and I am not sure how long the MTR for an H1 will take.
Hi Attorney,Senior People, Gurus,
Iam really need of advice. Please

I have the same problem which zico described at below and I submitted my I-20 for an h1B amendment. It starts before my grace period time ends up.
My question is my amendment is still on pending process since September 17th. Will I be out of status if the school or I cancel my I-20 BEFORE the result of pending process of my H1B amendment?( Am I safe since I already passed October 1st?)
Second question is:Can I do an H1B transfer to another company in such a situation?
Thanks a lot for all help!!
My lawyer received my H1B approval in the mail yesterday. Online status said approved on 15th. But lawyer said that I will have to pick it up from India. Otherwise I'll have to file an amendment. I am guessing it is form I-797B (no I-94)
Anyone else in similar situation with any information?
Case:
* Regular quota (65k) Premium processing @ VSC
* Receipt date: April 9th (via email)
* Approved: April 15th (checked online status)
* Lawyer received mail approval on April 18th (US Postal Mail)
* Planning on taking Kaplan course from June - September which can be extended till Oct

As per immigration-law.com..Senate may work on CIR in March 07 and hand it over to House by APril 07....House may however sit on it for years on end...
02/18/2007: Need for Immigration Reform and Concerns with Growing Gridlock in Legislations in the Congress
The Democrats launched a new Congress with aggressive platforms and legislative agenda on January 4, 2007. Madame Pelosi of the House set the first 100-hour legislative agenda and the Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid presented on the Senate floor ten legislative bills as top priority for the first few months of the Senate.
However, immersed in the party politics, the Congress left the Hill yesterday, Saturday, for a week long break without achieving a lot because of the gridlock it had faced in the Congress. Samo, Samo Washington politics involving the Republicans and Democrats. It practically means that the Congress wll not resume the active legislative activities until March 2007.
S. 9, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill, adopted by the Senate floor, is in the Judiciary Committee of the Senate. The newly elected Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Sen. Leahy, reportedly set the CIR as one of the top agenda of the Judiciary Committee for March 2007 and the Democratic leaders reportedly determined to pass the CIR by April 2007 and quickly send it over to the House for its prompt action. How beautiful the agenda of the new Congress.
We want to watch carefully how closely the leaders of the House and Senate will follow through the agenda. In a way, from the perspectives of this immigration legislation agenda, we are relieved that the Congress was over with the most serious road block to the Congress, to wit, rebuke of Bush's resurge in Iraq.

I think #1 and #2 are problematic as there is a lack of contrast or color difference between the field and the fence, it takes a while to see what's in the picture.
#3 and #4 work better, something interesting in the foreground and context from the background. Both have a slight tilt to the right though which is distracting to me. One rule of thumb is to work with thirds, the horizon in #3 cuts the picture in half which isn't wrong but many seem to prefer the 1/3 - 2/3 composition in #4. The foreground could be a bit sharper perhaps but #4 is my favourite of the four, nice picture.

Hi,
If old priority date is not ported then send an email to ebupdate.tsc@dhs.gov(for texas service center) and request to use old priority date for your new application and ask them to interfile I-485. Google for 'I-485 interfiling request sample letter' and you'll find sample format letters. My interfiling request took just 1 week and I got CPO letter, waiting for the physical cards. Good luck.

One thing is that lawyers are really busy till August 17th.
One good reason for this policy is the misuse or over-utilization of lawyer contact previlege. I believe there might be guys who contact lawyers for no reason, and just annoy them. If there are so many such guys in your company, may be all they are trying to avoid is this misuse.
On the other hand Lawyer is representing you and the employer at the same time. So you are entitled to contact lawyer directly. It is just that, if there had been misuse from other employees, there is a possibility that you might not have enough credability, and they may not return your call.
There is no harm in trying to send an email to you HR and ask them to get an answer from lawfirm for any valid query.
But, the problem is, they dont allow us to have a direct correspondence with lawyer. They are saying that its their company policy.
I'm really worried right now. Can I still call our lawyer? Sorry guys.
