Anytime your place of work changes on H1, your company should file an amendment to the H1B labor certification stating your new place of work.
Hopefully, the officer at the consulate wont ask and you wont have a problem.
Personally, I have my client's location as well as my company's location on my H1 LCA.

My spouse and I are currently on H1-B and we applied for EAD and I-485 with my spouse as the primary applicant through his company.
Do I have to wait for 180 days before I change employers and start using the EAD (since I am the secondary applicant)? Or can I use my EAD as soon as I get it?
Thank you!

Hi Gurus,
I am in company A on H1B and doing H1B transfer to Company B.
Company B is saying that I can join the same day on which the H1B transfer packet is received by USCIS.
if the docs are delivered on SEP 01 2009 can I join on the same day, or I should join from SEP 02 2009

No offense to op but this article is as valid as saying visa recapture will PROBABLY happen soon.
Infact if you replace economy with recapture and Bernanke with... well pick any name (Lou Dobbs ?) it would be just as reassuring.
Just seeing from my perspective... no offense intended to anyone.
Good day.
" Wait! Are you prepared for the consequences?" - Me.

I’m confused about using the EAD. Someone please clarify me….
I already received the EAD for me and my wife. Currently, I’m in the H1b which is expiring on Sep 2008 (6 years are over). My questions are?
•Can I be in H1b and still work another job as a part-time?
------ if the part time job is using a part time H1 only then you will be H1 and dependents in H4 using EAD meaning you lose H1/4
•If my wife wants to work using her EAD does it have any effect on her h4 status?
--- her status becomes AOS pending and H4 is gone
•If my wife loose her job during the use of her EAD what will be her status?
--- she will reamain AOS pending same as while using EAD
•I applied my I485 in July 2, 2007. As I already received my EAD, can I be unemployed after 180 days and start a business by myself?
---- you can be self-employed and have similar job description and LC
•I know after receiving the AP I visit any their country. What will be my status after I come back? Still H1b or anything else?
----- if you enter using H1 then it will be H1. the debate is still on whether using AP to enter causes you to lose H1 or not. It is possible to extend H1 status though.
It will be very much appreciated if some can answer my questions?
Thanks ahead\

that makes no sense. backlog and being current mean exact opposite things.
the meaning of backlog is to indicate that there AREN'T enough visas available to make a category current. being current means there ARE enough visas available for your category.
so in essence, someone who is current isnt considered back-logged or vice-versa.
where did you hear such nonsense?
I heard that only applicants who are current are considered as backlogged - is this true?
Applicants who are not current - which statistical group do they belong to?

There is a pilot in progress where a combined document has been issued which serves both as EAD and AP and the validity is 2 years... So I would say its a matter of time if the pilot is successful.
There are some conditions that need to be met.

hello,
I have an EAD and have an approved labor and I-140 approved for over 180 days with my employer.
I am interested in knowing the clarity on SOC (speciality occupation codes) with AC21.
My current labor when filed has details in my ETA9089 form as -
1. SOC - 151051
2. Job Title - Computer Consultant/Programmer Analyst
3. Skill Level - II
4. Wage offered - $76k
5. Prevailing wage - 60k
I have a new job offer, from another company whose details are -
1. Job Title - Managing Consultant
2. Wage offered - $120k
This job would require me to play a role of Manager/Supervisor, Architect and also code.
Im not sure what SOC code the new company would offer me? From the latest bls.gov SOC guide "Supervisors of workers in Major Groups 13-0000 through 29-0000 usually have work experience and perform activities similar to those of the workers they supervise, and
therefore are classified with the workers they supervise."
So besides similar job duties does it require SOC compatibility for AC21?
Thanks in advance!

Dear All,
i might have posted this query in some other forums too, but could not get much response and hence reposting. Please pardon me if you happen to re-read this.
1) I got my fresh H1B visa stamp from employer A and started workin with him from 1st October 2007 . Visa was valid from August 2007 to August 2010.
2) Was laid off on 16th November 2007.
3) Found another employer B and he applied for H1B transfer on 21st December 2007 using regular processing.
4) I do not have any pay stup or any kind of information from employer B.
5) I found another employer (C) and he applied for H1B with a receipt date 19th March 2008 using premium processing.
6) Got approval (I797B) on 21st march 2008. Attorney from employer C told me that i need to leave the US and come back and can start working with employer C. I went to Mexico and came back and started working with employer C since 1st April 2008.
7) Got the job with employer D. Employer D filled for H1B transfer. This time i got approval (I797A) with I-94 attached. Started working with employer D since 1st October 2008.
8) I am still employed with employer D. But my visa is going to expire in August 2010. My I-94 (came with I-797A) is valid till October 2011.
9) I want to get a new visa stamp in my passport and hence want to visit New Delhi US embassy.
Will i be having problem on visa stamping because i dont have pay stup from 16th Nov 2007 till 1st April 2008 ( 4 months and 16 days = 136 days)?
Your help is highly appreciative.
Thanks

I am working on EAD, if it doesnt come in time any ideas about the FAX # which you need to send your request? I have already opened an expedite request for my EAD by calling USCIS customer service, I just need the fax # and the cover letter format. I heard that even if you take an info pass appointment, they dont issue an interim EAD , is that correct?

Dallas-Fort Worth Immigration Lawyer Has Just Posted the Following:
“If we are truly going to fix a broken system, Congress will have to act”
The following is a statement from Lynn Tramonte, Deputy Director of America’s Voice:
We have entered a new chapter and a new phase in the immigration debate. Secretary Napolitano today laid out the framework for fixing the broken immigration system, and the solution is comprehensive immigration reform. Drawing on her years of experience on the southwest border, and her new role as the nation’s top homeland security official, she said that we need Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform, and create immigration laws that truly work for our country.
Reform will secure the border, protect all workers, and require undocumented immigrants to register for legal status, pay fines and taxes, clear background checks, and get in line for citizenship. This will benefit all Americans by strengthening the rule of law, bringing in more taxpayers, cutting costs for enforcement, and making our nation’s borders stronger and safer. Now is the time for Congress to take the next step and pass legislation that would accomplish these goals.
As Secretary Napolitano pointed out, the American people support comprehensive immigration reform, and the debate we are about to engage in is not the same old debate. Law enforcement, labor, business, faith, and community leaders are all demanding comprehensive reform for our nation’s security, economy, workers, and families. We have a new President, who was elected because he promised to address important problems like this with practical solutions. We have a new Congress, with leaders who also promised change and progress to the American people.
The Secretary’s speech today was an important moment, but it was just the opening bell. It’s now time for Congress and the Administration to put serious muscle behind advancing the proposal – and it’s time for politicians of all political parties to set aside partisanship and demagoguery, and do what’s right for the country.

Hi, Just make sure with your HR if the new company will grand fathered all the aggreement (esp your GC process). Same thing happened to me a year ago and I don't need to file anything.
so for summary :
a. Do I have to go through the entire GC process again with new company?
>> no
b. Do I have to refile 140 ( labor?) I know H1-b will have to be refiled and they are aware of it.
c. is there anything that must be added to the 'closure' document as part of the deal, that will
help GC transfer smooth( deal is not closed yet, so such clauses can be included still)
>>>the safest thing might be to file AC21. but again, it will depend on ur HR/Lawyer
d. Should I stay with my current employer?
>> up to you .. only you can feel the situation post acquisition.
btw in my case, my old company name is totally gone and my business unit brought the old company name into a new division of the new company . in your case looks like the old company name is still there.
Thx

Its complicated and gray area, I haven't seen any success from anybody yet.:confused:
There are two ways of porting older priority date
#1 if your old PD is stuck in backlog center, file a new perm labor with exact same wordings( same category too ), this is well documented.
#2 If you have an approved labor(can be substituted also) and approved I-140, then file a new labor with any employer under any category(eb2 in your case). Once labor is approved, at the time of filling new I-140, you need to specify that you want to port priority date of previously approved I-140. Specify relavent memos too, try finding attorney who knows or have done this atleast once :D
"EB3 - Labor filed - Aug, 2004 - BackLogged - Philadelphia - 45 day letter - Replied"
priority date from above labor can only be captured if it gets approved and employer files and get I-140 approval for this labor, and then you go ahead and file a new I-140 for your already approved EB2 specifying need to recapture old PD.
This is all from top of my head w/o having any degree in relavent field, please talk to attorney before taking any action blah blah blah.......

Hi can someone advise me what is the best way and steps (forms and other supporting documents) to extend the stay for my mother in law beyond the 6 months as given on her entry under 10 year visitor visa for few more months (3-4 months) please. We have a religious ceremony so that she can stay beyond the 6 months and attend. One of the lawyers told me that beyond 6 month as given during her entry is not possible which I doubt it. Pl advise/share your experiences from those of you have gone through this process recently.

First of all sorry to open a new thread. My PD is March 06 EB2. My i-485 reached uscis on July 2.
Is it advisable to change jobs? I'm planning to join bearing point consulting comp where they would start GC only after one year. As you guys know consulting job is quite unsecured. Only advantage with the new company is career growth.
Or should I wait for the outcome of lawsuit
please advise
