Your new employer has to start GC from scratch, but you can retain your old PD if your I140 is approved.

ok. let's say I-140 approved and pass 180 days. the person is working using ac21 and ead with a new company. the person is travelling using AP , the old company withdraw I-140, will he be able to come back in the us ?
once the person is working for the new company can he send the offer letter to avoid problem with 485. kinda of preemption - proactive approach or does the person needs to wait until ins request?
Dude, you really need to use the search feature on this forum. after I140 is approved and 485 pending for 180 days, the I140 stays in effect even if the company tried to revoke it.
Once you invoke AC21, it is not required (although suggested) to send papers to USCIS. I have read that you should not do anything until you get an RFE which I think is the best way, This makes sure that your case is being properly handled if you are unlucky enough to get an RFE. Y would anyone what to raise a flag by sending in paperwork to USCIS indicating the use of AC21, I personally know atleast 15 friends who have done this with out telling USCIS and have received their GC's
So, The bottom line is if -
I140 approved and 485 pending for more than 180.
START LIVING YOUR DREAM, DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. CHANGE YOUR JOB, GET A RAISE, OPEN A COMPANY, BUY A HOUSE .... WHATEVER, DON'T GET MARRIED - SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT WHILE YOU WERE ON H1
THE AC21 IS A LAW - USE IT, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TELL ANYONE ABOUT USING A LAW UNLESS YOU HAVE TO JUSTIFY YOUR SITUATION IN FRONT OF AN AGENCY THAT REQUIRES YOU BY LAW TO PROVE IT.
OH! AND AS FAR AS TRAVEL IS CONCERNED, JUST HAVE THE DOCS IN HAND AND NOTHING ELSE MATTERS (don't commit a crime though, or be drunk in front of the immigration officer). LOL

US needs EB1 and Ph.Ds
Others not contribute as much
You are talking about needs? Then US needs all EB's over illegals by much, much more than US needs EB1 over EBn (n>1). So let's not talk of who contributes and who does not. It doesn't matter, all have same raw deal

hey dude I hv an appointment on 10 dec as well in Mumbai! Its 10 am. However I wont be able to share acco with you as I will be coming from somewhere else.
Anyway, just finished sorting up all the docs. Good luck to you too. :)
Usually I get my Visa stamped in Chennai. I have enough info to survive in Chennai.
This time it is not going to help much as I am going to Mumbai. It is a pain from the first step. I finally got the appointment for 10th Dec. I have to have some body hand deliver documents there in India..Oh well..
I have the appointment at 9:30 AM and was planning to fly out of Mumbai Airport same day at 1:30 PM. Now it looks very ambitious! What do you think? :confused:
I have no idea about lodging near consulate. I tried my luck near the airport many times. It wasn't pretty.
Any recommendation on Hotels and area near consulate ? I am not going near Five star / Rs 10,000 per day.
I am looking at ~ Rs 2,000 for 7 hours..
Any help is appreciated..:)

People,
The country listed here is country of citizenship. We all know though that GCs are granted based on country of birth. Thus, there may be even more people charged to India than listed. Conversely, you may have a couple of Indian citizens who were not born in India that will fall in the ROW category...

Good post
Pappu, Can this post be moved to "Ask lawyers" area of forum to get other lawyers opinion as well?
I've seen many companies trying their best to convince their employees to use their EAD instead of paying 10 times more for the H1B extension. This is very valid from company's stand point.
But it will be helpful for fellow immigrants to know exactly what they are getting into when they decide to when they abandon their H1B visa.

I got an RFE letter yesterday asking me to provide 1040 and W-2's from 1999.
I will be digging in my papers and boxes to see if I still have copies of my 1999 and 2000 returns.
The IRS does not keep records of 1040's for more than 7 years and when I called them they said they don't think they'll have a record of 1999.
I'm hoping that I will find my 1999 return, but what if I don't? Has anybody here been asked to provide returns going that far? especially for an Employment-based application?
The funny thing is that in 1999 and 2000 I was on an F1 visa as a student and I did have a graduate assistantship. I started employment in 2001.
I feel like the officer is trying to make it extremely hard for me to get my status adjusted....
PS: I received this RFE after the fact that I went for an interview at the local office and was told that "all my paper work is good and I should receive my card in the mail once the security check was cleared"; which I verified it was cleared a few days after the interview..

Thank you very much and I sincerely appreaciate advices from all of you. Can some one please claify some other question i have on this topic. Any inputs means a lot to me.
USCIS gave RFE before denying the petition. in RFE they asked for Client letter and I submitted client letter. I don't have denial notice with me and don't know the reason of denial.
1. If my employer is filing new H1 application why i should go with premium processing? why not regular.
2. Am i out of status now?.
3. Can i do H1 transfer now if someone offers fulltime. Should i tell them that my previous H1 application denied if they are willing to transfer.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am in the same situation. I just got the tracking number from my lawyer for the fedex that he had sent on June 30 and he has sent it to Dallas . I live and work in California. I went through the Direct Filing press release and the USCIS link :
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=eb7b5cdc2c463110VgnVCM1000004718190aRCR D&vgnextchannel=fe529c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD
and now I am confused as to whether my lawyer did the right thing or its ok to send the application to Dallas??
Anyone any thoughts???
Here is my opinion. I read in some posts that they will redirect the document internally to the correct processing center. The direct filing rule comes into effect on July 30th and they may be strict about filing center after that. As I said this is my opinion. Let me see if I can find the official answer in USCIS site.

Its like going to tirupati and asking people if they have seen any mottai's [mottai - tamil, meaning shaved head].
:D
On another note, practically everybody over here has seen/heard somebody losing their jobs...
talking about only personal friends or co-workers. Please do not vote yes if its some body you don't know but heard of.

with this type of money and job, you should have filed for EB2.. why EB3
At the time i was 2 semesters away from my Masters plus the mess my previous attorney had caused, my new attorney felt comfortable filing under EB3 because he felt i would have problems at the I-140 stage if i did not compete my Masters by that time.
In 2001 my attorney expected to have my GC by 2003 the latest and he was not counting on this mess with DBEC.
Hope all of us are through with this nightmare by end of 2007.

Durbin likes to have it both ways - be perceived as being pro-immigration (for his work on behalf of Hispanic illegal immigrants) but also being the champion of unions. I think he might respond if he starts to get labeled as anti-immigrant. He will not want to start to get the label of being someone who opposes immigrants. But I'd probably stick to the flowers and make it IV's signature. When the media hears about another flower campaign, they'll know something big is up and that the person getting the flowers is being targeted for an important reason.
For some reason this thread caught my attention. Looks like this was discussed sometime back.
Sending flowers once again ???? Is this a good idea :D:D:D

Can this question be taken for next conference call ? I have seen numerous people looking for answer to this question becasue the underlying law (AC21)pertaining to this issue is very vague. It has not been answered in any previous conference calls.
============================
What is the relation between a 3 year H1B approval granted on an approved I-140 and the underlying I-140 petition ? Specifically, what happens if an employee leaves the company, are the remaining years (out of 3 granted originally) still valid ? What happens if the original employer revokes/cancels the I-140 peition on which the extension was originally granted ? Is the H1B petition based on a an approved I-140 linked to that I-140 in anyway once it (H1B petition) is approved ?
In summary:
Does the H1B extension based on approved I-140, once granted linked to I-140 in any way ?
If yes:
What happens to the H1B if I-140 is revoked ?
If No:
Any law/precends supporting the conclusion ?
