Hi Prem,
Thank you very much for the insight of my issue. Just want to inform you that my employer(who intitiated the transfer now) are the employer and the client for me. Hopefully I might not get any RFE and as you said if I get the reciept number after 14 or 15 calendar days and update the result of petition in a week or so, that would be great.
Once again thank you very much for your reply. I will keep posted about my status.

Did you get the approval or receipt?

If she has filed 485 as a dependent then she is a dependent though out the process. Once you are in trouble and 485 gets declined - hers also invalid. Both will be illegal!!!
From what I know she can still work for 180 days while the 485 is investigated. You can appeal against the denial.

So can I ask my colleague to send me a notarized experience letter ?
Notarizing means taking an oath in front of a notary. Also be aware that notary is done for documents not in the public domain. Your freind better be sure of what he is vouching for. Otherwise he will get into trouble.
Why would not your ex-employer sign your experience letter? HR department of every company once in a while receive requests like this from ex-employees and they should not have a problem with it.

Hardly anyone has volunteered to go to USCIS with nixstor. That's sad. We are getting a megaphone to talk about our problems and yet in the entire DC area with a huge IV membership, we have just one person willing to go to USCIS.
I am kinda rubbing my eyes in disbelive right now!

It does not make sense to me how folks who are on L1 visa and manage some people can go at par with the people of Extraordinary ability .
I can understand if they holding a position where they make some policies/ generate bussiness that gonna have major impact on Employees or organizational direction ...
But I have seen some people who not at par qualified has applied for GC on EB1 category just because they are on L1 Visa it is getting expired....
But i feel that there is a big glitch in the definition of this category which many of the DESI Companies are abusing ....:(
you do not need to be on L1A to apply for EB-1 managerial as long as you meet the requirements of being a manager as per USCIS definition. also eb-1 managerial is not a self-file - it needs to be filed by employer.

Hi,
I have received an EAD (I-140 Approved) for future employment through a company that I never worked for. Can I use AC21 to port the GC process to the current employer? Does the current employer need to file a new LC/140?
Please let me know. Thanks for your help.
I am assuming that your I 485 is pending for more than 180 days and I 140 is approved with an employer who you never worked for. You are working for different employer on EAD and want to use AC21 to continue working for that employer:
THIS MAY BE A PROBLEM.
When you never worked for GC sponsoring employer, USCIS can raise the question of actual existance of the job position ever. Burden of proof will fall on you and your GC sponsoring employer that "There was a position for real and it was offered to you and you intended to work indefinitely for that position upon approval of GC". This is difficult to prove if you NEVER worked for that position. This may become grounds for denial of 485 and also may create problems in future (at the time of naturalization).
I would advise you to get a good advise from a competent attorney (it is money worth spent). Starting a new GC process with the new employer may be a safer option, but it may mean several years. Another option is to wait for GC and then upon approval of GC work for the sponsoring employer for at least some time.
Good Luck.

From Poll results, it seems there r 3 people who got their FP notices already. Just want to make sure--you guys are NSC->CSC->NSC transfer cases or was it Xfr'd to TSC?
None of them is a transfer case nsc>csc>nsc... I checked their posts, That means NONE of nsc>csc>nsc transfer cases have received the FP...

Hello All,
I am currently on OPT which is valid till July 2009. Also, my H1-B is approved through a company X starting oct 2008. Currently I got a job with company Y on my OPT. Can I continue to work on my OPT with company Y till July 2009? OR Do I need to transfer my H1B to company Y from company X to be able to continue to work after Oct 2008? If so, do I need any paystubs from company X. What can be the start date on the offer letter from company X.
Please help. Your guidance is truly appreciated.
Regards
Swetha.

Now something that had been on top of my mind for long. Does anyone know how to make Google include subjective interpretation to search query? I will elaborate ...
Say you want to search for all the work been done or being done on say "teapot". Normally you type in "teapot" in search bar and Google will dump millions of results. And those results would be screened objectively based on the search query i.e. "teapot". But interestingly, "kettle" is also a synomous for "teapot" but since the search was objectively driven, this subjective association would be excluded. This is just an example, I framed to explain my point.
A quick answer to above would be to include any synomous words, but we all know in techonological world and especially in the IP area, their could numerous ways to hid the information while maintaining it on public forums. If you have been engaged in IP development, you will understand what I am talking about.

That's funny someone told you that ..
My case is similar, July 2007 NSC filer, file was transferred to CSC, and then transferred back to NSC 2-3months later, but that was after they had mailed me the 485 receipt notice, EAD and AP.
I had called NSC a couple of weeks ago to inquire about my spouse's application, they informed me that the application was very much with them, it's cleared name check and it's waiting for it's turn so that a decision can be made.

The only good part is that they are not jerking the dates back and forth. Hopefully this is a sign that dates are not going to retrogress any further.
If they apply quarterly spill over, we should see some movement in December. Lets wait and see......
What else ?

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 ! )

Hopefully, this situation does not happen to anyone.

I need your help on these issues. My labor certification was filed on October 25th 2006 and had it approved on 5th of November 2006.
Now my employer is ready to file the 1-140 together with 1-1485. My question is, I do not know whether my priority date is current for the filing of these forms.
Looking at the above filing date, can some one brief me on my likely priority date?
The other question is, even though my employer is taking the responsibilty of my filing process, I am paying all the expenses ( be it the Attorney fee as well as other additional fees are being borne by me).
When do you think will be appropriate for me to quit this job after my 1-140 and 1-1485 have been filed? Please advice me on this because my initially promised to pay for all the expenses but denied this after I have taken up the job.[/QUOTE]

Going to the original question. The H1B doesnt get invalidated.
The rules and available interpretations and memos talks only about the condition to "grant the extension". No where it mentioned a condition to invalidate an already granted extension.
As per the Neufeld memo links below:
On page 4 of memo:
USCIS is required to grant the extension of stay pursuant to �106(a) of AC21, in one-year increments, until such time as a final decision has been made to:
A. Deny the application for labor certification, or, if the labor certification is approved, to deny the EB immigrant petition that was filed pursuant to the approved labor certification;
B. Deny the EB immigrant petition, or
C. Grant or deny the alien�s application for an immigrant visa or for adjustment of status.
So if denied, there is no extension of H1B, the fact that 140 was approved is inconsequential since 140 approval is but one step in the process if 485 is denied then the whole application was denied and since the h1b extension is simply a stop gap till a final decision can be reached. The only recourse you have is to try and file a MTR with USCIS to reopen the 485.
