Troll Alert. Avoid sympathising every one on the forum. Anti immigrants create fake stories for their media bosses.

I'm currently on h1b, with PERM approved and I-140 filing in progress.
At what stage of the green card process can I write iPhone Apps for the Apple App Store and accept payments for them?
I know I'm allowed to own a company but not take a salary on h1b. So would it be possible to incorporate a company and then let the money accumulate in company accounts until I get to the stage when I can accept payments? Can the company pay for development resources such as equipment and accessories needed for developing the Apps even if I don't take a salary?

I am in same boat.
I have asked my attorney and she said, they will be going for COS from H1B to H4 and will produce leave of absence from OCT1, 2008 till date(no pay-stubs) and H4 will be based on my husbands H1b status and will produce his paystub and not mone.
Does it look right option?

W... For regular applications, they don't even have a column asking for any valid reason.
....
Right. The Initial Evidence section of the I-131 form. Under section I part C 1 b. on page 4 (page 4 in PDF, page 3 printed on that doc) does mention this:
An explanation or other evidence showing the circumstances that warrant issuance of an advance parole document; or
but the very next line is that the alternative to this is a copy of the USCIS receipt of your 485. So just USCIS receipt (or even receipt number) should be good enough for us (or if you filed all three together, dont even need that).
Anyway to OP: ask your lawyer to apply, you should not face any problems getting it.

Hi, this is my situation:
- I have L2 Visa, because my husband has L1B Visa. This year, the visa expires and we have 3 new options: extension for L1 and L2 Visa, H1 and H4Visa or Green Card.
- In the other hand, I have my own business. I have and EAD (work permit) and SSN.
Questions:
1. Which of the 3 options do you recommend us to get? Why?
2. I understand that under H4, I am not able to get a work permit. Do I need a work permit to continue doing business by myself? Or it is required even to run my business?
Thanks
Jime
I understand this is your first post but..This question looks more demanding than a request for suggestion ...

Thanks. Where did you get the info on what docs to carry? Was it at the Texas DPS website?
I applied for DL for me and for my wife too..
the documents are same what were mentioned above...
If you are applying for a transfer from other state ...
Make sure that
1)you have your vehicle registered in TX ,
2) carry 2 proof of address .
3) carry proof of insurance ( they ask for this :confused:)
4) and carry your employment letter ....some times they insist on this .
Hope this helps

Hardly - performance is one of the big advantages of Silverlight. It runs a similar version of the .NET CLR in it! What are the examples that you've seen that run slowly?
So Silverlight 2 runs way better than 1.0 on some of the sites you showed us. I take it back.
Plus I mean there a good chance Silverlight will have DX/OpenGL support before Flash gets any where close to full 3d support.
Can Silverlight load .x models yet?

I still don't have my GC(based on an Engineering position) but took up a managerial position within the same organization.. IMO, its a risk worth taking.. If I were you, I would take the new position, switch over to EAD and not apply for the H1B extension..
If USCIS issues an RFE asking for 'Continued Employment offer' or Evidence of Employment? or for that matter when he applies for an EAD/AP renewal he needs to support it with a letter of employment from the current employer.
If at any stage USCIS determines the candidate is actually working in a different category that which the LCA was applied for my interpretation is its ground for denial.
I will leave it to the experts to argue the merits or demerits of this
Good luck though
- cheers

If you go to this site: http://www..com/usa-immigration-trackers/i485-tracker1/
you will see that people that got USCIS I485 receipts, are those whose forms reached USCIS on Jun 25th. That would mean that as of last week USCIS was entering in the cases that came in in the end of Jun. They are not doing July filers yet....
My best bet is that they will begin doing July filers in the middle of next week (7/25) or even later and we will start seeing checks cleared by that date....

Perhaps I am missing something. I thought you could get an extension beyond six years only if:
1. Your labor was pending for more than 360 days OR
2. Your I-140 was approved
I did not know that you could get an extension if:
Your labor was approved and your I-140 was still pending.
My understanding is that the USCIS came out with the I-140 premium processing only to address the above scenario. Perhaps someone who has dealt with this first hand can enlighthen us.
You are right. For approved labor (or pending more then a year, which is rare these days), pending more then a year, and if I-140 is still pending, you get H1 for 1 year. With approved I-140, you get 3 year extension.

If you read the form, it says Alien number. If you have one, its a simple answer, USE IT. If you had one during OPT and one more on 140, you should ask your lawyer which one to use. Thats my opinion. Always consult a lawyer but as none of us are lawyers.
now this is confusing..should we or should we not use the A# from OPT card...Anybody else confirm this

There are people who are working extremely hard to make this a success. People living within the driving distance of DC - please, there is still time. This rally will be a great occasion to network, learn and stand up for your issues. Just imagine the energy and buzz coming out from this rally. If you can make it, please do so.

Yes, PR visa is not extendable....Also, you dont have to apply for any PR card when you go to Canada. When you enter Canada, you will automatically be a PR starting that day and the PR will be mailed to the Canadian address you provide at the airport....Its your choice to apply for a SIN card (US equivalent of SSN card)...For this you will have to go to the nearest office to do so. Usually the landing procedure takes 2 to 3 hrs...You can return the same day...PR card is issued for 5 yrs from the date of your landing and you can stay 3 yrs out of Canada...To maintain PR status, you will have to be physically present in Canada for atleast 2 yrs..Hope it works out for you.....
