Why even this discussion. there are many who no longer work for the sponsor even before getting the GC. What do you think happens if they find out? have you heard of anybody whose GC was affected?
because this will be a question when the candidate goes for citizenship. If candidate cannot convince the officer that his/her intention was to work with GC sponsor then citizenship may not be given.

For me, my attorney's filed successor in interest I-140 after I filed I-485 due to merger. I faced no issues with this process and you can request them to file the same at your end. This did not affect my I-485.
Thanks
Do you know if your successor in interest i-140 has been approved

I think he was talking about s1932... the immigration related provisions were removed from that in the conference. You need inform them that they should at least get behind the Frist bill or Spector bill and request them to support removing the hard limits on the country quotas.
Some talking points may be:
Ask them if they support quotas for college admissions, and then ask if they support country quotas for immigration...
Explain how quotas that are not tied to population are punishing countries like India and China with larger population.
Also explain how government is dictating to the companies where they can get the talent from and how that harms businesses as it punishes countries with good education system and large talent pools.

I think he was just trying to make a point about being pressed by all parties involved (repubs/dems/liberals/conservatives in our case)
At least the Jews had more solidarity among their community, perhaps it should be a lesson for all EB immigrants to be and stay united.

EAD is not a valid status..just a document which provides you authorization to work in united states.
There isn't much information on your post to see what fees are you talking about you may have to break it down and see what is it all about.

Complaining to DOL is an option, but that's a long process. I'm trying to avoid red flag gets raised and making my attorney richer by RFE, MTR etc.
Since my current company is ready to help, I'm looking for ways to get the $10K (from my this year's salary) included in the current W2 before I file my taxes.
Later I can take on my ex-employer and it can take it's own time.
This employer already hurt you by revoking your 140 and seems like you are not a big fan of his. Why don't you file a WH4 form with DOL for Feb'08 to Apr'08 salary. That way it becomes your ex-employer problem and you can explain your status all the way from Jan'08 to Apr'08.

Hi
In NYC (if it's closer for you) consulate you get the renewed/New Passport back on same day. I renewed my Kids passports there got back on same day.
For myself, I renewed in SFO back in 2001 and got them back in 5-7 days.
Hope this helps you make your decision.

Hi
I am on H1 and have approved EAD.
Do I need to send H1 copy or EAD copy along with other documents for AP renewal?
Thanks for your help!.

Just a thought...
These guys are so paranoid these days that I would not be surprised if they send for bomb sniffign dogs and anti-anthrax teams when they receive several flower packages on the same day :rolleyes: :D

Who asked for a combined AP and EAD?
What help will it offer really?
It would have been better to ask for a 5 year EAD. But some person would have posted asking for a combined document?
What will we really do with a 2 in 1 document????

I read about new guidelines about not leaving USA before applying for reentry permit and biometrics are taken. Please see the note below:

If the link does not work, fo to fragomen's web site , select resources --> US Immigration head lines and the following topic:
USCIS Clarifies Biometrics Requirement for Reentry Permit Applicants.
I am sure other immigration firms have similar info.

Hello,
Here is my situation.
- I'm under EB2 - RoW category. My I-140 just got approved and I was preparing to file for my I-485 (current)
- I went to the Bahamas last week to get my 3 year H1B renewal stamping but it was denied due to employer issues and I was forced to go back to India.
- Now I cant go back to US to file my 485. My company is still offering to help me on my GC.
I'm still reeling from the shock of my H1B denial. What are my options now?
Is Consular processing the way to go? Will loosing my H1B status have any effect on CP?
Should I start CP immediately or can I wait a few months to try to get back to the US on a new H1B?
Can anyone point me to some online materials detailing CP.
Thanks in advance.
I am not aware of consular processing very much, but don't you have to be applying from the country of origin for CP?
This person says he belongs to ROW, but he will be filing for CP from India? Am I missing something here?

Hello,
An approved H1-B petition is an approval for you to undertake employment within US, while a H1-B stamp is to allow you to knock on the US door (PoE) where an IO will decide whether to let you in or not.
There is no requirement that states that legally you must be working continuously within US if you are on H1-B (if anyone knows otherwise, he/she should post the appropriate link).
In short, you should not have any issue at all. The IO will ask why you were out of US and you can tell him/her that you were out 'cause you were consulting from India and not working in US for the past year. You should keep the new offer letter with you to prove to the IO that you have a new job within US now and that's why you want to enter the country.
Do consult a lawyer, but IMHO, you should be fine as a fiddle! :)
