Hi
My 140 got approved and 485 is in pending state.I have my EAD and also valid H1.
1.Can I add my spouse to my GC status when PD is not current?My spouse is on H1B visa.
2.If I start using EAD, is it still possible to add spouse or I should maintain valid H1 status?
Can you please respond back ASAP.Thanks.
Your spouse can file I-485 only when your PD is current. Until (s)he needs to maintain H1/H4 status.

Hi folks,
I have a appointment at calgary, canada for my H1 extension visa stamping. Any one has experience in Calgary.
My spouse entered the US on H4, she has a MBBS degree from india and she got H1 sponsored by a reputed university to do research.
I read on the posts that first time H4 to H1 stamping might pose a issue in canada if a person does not have degrees from US or Canada.
Please let me know.
Thanks

If H1 for your spouse is already approved, there should not be any problem provided you carry all necessary documentation. If it is under processing (not yet approved), and you have your H1 approved, your spouse should not have problem for H4.

04/29/2007: Need for Networking of Immigrants to Support Immigration Reform Legislation
When it comes to the community organizing and support activities for the comprehensive immigration reform legislation, there are hundreds of organizations that organize, network, and mobilize the immigrants in support of the issues involving the difficult issues of legalization of illegal aliens. However, the same is not true with the employment-based immigration reform issues. The lobbying and organizing and support of these issues rely heavily on the employers, businesses, and academic institutions such as competeamerica. Without doubt, the employers should be the most effective and powerful groups to pressure the Congress, President, and other players in the political process.
However, it is time that the immigrants themselves also participate in a similar effort to share information, issues, and supporting activities. Obviously, the first move is to organize and build a network throuhout the nation and the world, and along with the networking, other support activities must be conducted and expanded. There are not too many immigrant groups that are focused on the employment-based immigration reform issues. Currently, a website of www.immigrationvoice.org is launching this campaign and attempting to organize and network in the employment-based immigrant communities. This reporter urges the foreign professional workers to visit and join this group to help an activities of side-kick from the standpoint of stakeholder foreign workers in support of the employers and their support groups. "Networking" will create a power in the political process.

As we move closer to an Immigration reform, even government officials agree that such major change is very necessary. Here are some remarks by Secretary Napolitano on Immigration Reform at the Center for American Progress:
Over the past year, as this Administration has pursued more effective strategies within the current laws, the picture of how exactly those laws need to be changed has become clearer than ever before. In the past ten months, we have made tough choices, and implemented significant reforms within the current legal framework�but they are not enough to create the system that we want or that we need. If we are truly going to fix a broken system, Congress will have to act.When it comes to immigration, I took an oath as Secretary of Homeland Security to secure the nation by enforcing the law and managing legal flows across the border. Let me be clear: to do this job as effectively as possible, DHS needs immigration reform.Reform legislation would provide lasting and dedicated resources at our borders, and provide some critical legal tools that we don�t currently have to combat smuggling organizations. For example, we need tougher anti-smuggling laws in dealing with the aggravated crimes smugglers commit�including assaulting law enforcement officers, endangering children, threatening relatives and abandoning people in the desert� hundreds of whom succumb to death from heat and lack of water. We also need to update current laws that don�t cover some of the new means by which criminals conduct their business. For instance, today�s smugglers and drug traffickers often move cash through �stored value� cards, which aren�t even considered monetary instruments under the current money-smuggling laws.In addition, we need improvements to the current law when it comes to interior and worksite enforcement. Dishonest businesses often ignore the civil fines for illegal employment now on the books because they�re so low. It�s also very difficult to prosecute these crimes as felonies because of the over-elaborate intent requirements built into the current statutes.

Gurus,
Or should I wait for the outcome of lawsuit
please advise
If you can, I would suggest to wait a month at the least. Information is changing by the day and you will have a better picture of where the case is leading to in that timeframe.
Good luck.

As your H-1B has been withdrawn prior to your filing for the H-1B change of employer, you are now out of status. An H-1B withdrawal is technically effective immediately upon receipt by USCIS.
The best bet would be to file for a new H-1B (assuming that you did not exhaust your six years of H-1B time) under the fiscal year cap as this has not been reached.
You should notify your legal counsel of the H-1B withdrawal and see how they want to handle it. While it is true that you are currently not in status, they may have an alternate policy.

For your information, most employment in the United States is "at will", which boils down to, the employer can dismiss you at any time for any, or no, reason whatsoever.
The fact that it's "retaliation" is not likely relevant.
They owe you notice of termination, or pay in lieu of notice, so a couple of weeks.

Thanks beuhler.
Yes, I have been residing in the US for several years now. I was not sure if the consular districts are determined based on the state of current residence or based on the state of my permanent address in India or state that issued my passport. After reading your reply, I looked up what the embassy "loosely" defines consular district as at :
http://newdelhi.usembassy.gov/nivconsdist.html
So it does state that US residents can apply for the NIV at any of the four consulates. So does this mean that their emergency appointment requirement of being from the New Delhi consular districts applies only to residents of India and not residents in the US ? This seems subject to interpretation.
In your case, was it an emergency appointment or a regular one ?
Thanks.

Last Status counts situation DOES NOT apply here.
That rule applies to situations where you've gone from h1b to h4 or ead etc..
In your case, you can have as many approved h1b petitions as possible since it's really petition approved for that employer and your are merely beneficiary.
BUT you can ONLY work for 1 employer at a time..
Going by your situation.. if you have approved h1 from company B and are working with company B. THEN you are okay.. to hell with what company A may choose to do..

I do not know about the number of recipts#, but if you gave the checks for the applications then most of the banks give images of cashed-check. That image will have the recipt number printed on the back side of check.
BTW, When did your 485 application/package reach USCIS? June or July 2007

My EAD expires on 07/28/2010. My EAD renewal is currently pending (applied online on 5/18/2010 at NSC). My AP expires on 08/24/2010. I am planning to apply for AP renewal once I finish my move to new address.
So, I really don't know which date to put. BTW, USCIS online application didn't mark that field as required.
Put the latest date ( AP ) . May be you can indicate that you are on AOS.

My case is like this....
Actually I got approval notice of H1 transfer case in month of Nov 2009 for which my current employer initiated in month of Aug 2008.
During transfer case in pending status, I got an RFE in April 2009 for which my employer submitted concerned document...later I did not have any updates of my case until Aug 2009 when employer called me and told about an second RFE which was about client letter...I lost my running project job becoz of that. but my employer again submitted client letter from somewhere which I dont know.....I thought now everything is good..but I did not get approval update from USCIS/employer after that also......
After 3 months when I check case updtate on USCIS portal then I found that my case is reopened and approved. Later when I get project and asked for salary increment to employer then he told me that there is no second RFE actually he received denial notice. I was shocked and asked him why did not he tell me about that as he has not given me any RFE related document of my case so I have to belive on his words.
Now my queries with different scenarios is as follow
Q1)If I file WH4 against him for those bench
period without any newly initiated transfer (petition belongs to that employer only)...will there be any problem for me as that period was out of status (as said by my employer)?
Q2)also will it affect if I newly initiate transfer process to another employer which is suppose in pending status ?
Q3)If I have approved petition of newly initiated transfer(of another employer) but WH4 case gets denied. will it affect my approved petition?
Q4) if both H1B transfer to new employer and WH4 case against previous employer is in pending status ...and WH4 gets denied will it affect my pending transfer case?
Q5) Is it really good to file WH4 case against previous employer as soon as I start another transfer? what will be your opinion whether to file WH4 case before new H1 transfer or after when received RFE on pending new H1 Transfer case.
Appreciate if any attorney can help me in this situatation.....
thanks......
