Hi,
I am E-filing my EAD thru online. There is a dropDown where it asks for "Current Immigration Status"...
My Situation:
1. Entered into USA using H1B Visa
2. Changed the job and now working using EAD
3. In othyer words, my status would be AOS Pending...
Now question is there is no "AOS Pending" status in that dropdown. SO, I am confused about chosing the correct status...
The nearest ones that I am thinking are "parolee" or "UNKNOWN"
Has anyone faced the situation? Could you please help me?

Correct me if I am wrong.
They started premium processing for I140 so that they could stop parallel filing of 140 and 485.
Just wondering if anybody ever complains of I140 being slow? :p

Much faster if you go directly here

Not good for us, if this means that they will stop processing things as they sort this out.

thank you very much for the info.
I will check Joe Hohenstein out to see whether he is interested in my case!
- Joe Hohenstein's Law Firm Orlow & Orlow is in Philadelphia, and typically represents clients
in the Northeast. Joe can take individual emails at joe@orlow.com;
because there may be a lot of emails, please allow for a delay in the
response. If the questions are get to be more detailed, he would talk
about treating them as an initial consultation, which is $100.

Strange, I'm not able to replicate the problem. All I can think of is that your mouse has lost focus on the SWF, perhaps due to the over-vigorous motion beforehand? Try clicking on the SWF to regain focus and see if slow moments work for you again.

After 6 months of EAD a person can change jobs, but his hiring company should give him the same title in which his application for a GC is filed.
(Same title and should be able to show that the company can pay him the pw)
So working for your own company after 6 months of EAD is kind of risk.You can work for a friend's company who can support you.
Please consult your lawyer.....
always seek legal advice.

EDIT (correction) - from this link: http://thevisabulletin.com/2008/7th-year-h-1b-extensions-under-ac21-104c-and-106a-statutes-and-uscis-guidance/
Question 2. How early can a request for an H-1B extension beyond the 6th year be filed?
Answer: The April 24, 2003 guidance memorandum is modified in the following manner: a petitioner must establish that the above criteria (see Question 1 outlining requirements under Section 106(a)) were or will be met either on or before the requested start date on the H-1B extension application. Thus, an alien is eligible for an extension of H-1B status beyond the 6th year as long as either the qualifying labor certification application or I-140 petition has or will have been pending for at least 365 days prior to the alien’s requested start date, regardless of whether the H-1B extension application was filed prior to the passage of such period If the alien would no longer be in H-1B status at the time that 365 days from the filing of the labor certification application or immigrant petition has run, thus leaving a gap in valid status, then the extension of stay request cannot be granted.

In some of the threads in this and other forums there was some concern expressed about non-citizen's right to hire a lobbyist or petition congress. Here is the text of the 1st Amendment of the Bill of Rights:
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances
The term 'people' or 'person' in the constitution refers to inhabitants and not citizens.
Second, your members already spend a great deal on attorneys to help them with immigration issues. Our hope is that by spending a little bit on a lobbyist to get the laws fixed, we can save a lot on attorney’s fees.
Here is a link for Bill of Rights which precede any other law: http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/infousa/facts/funddocs/billeng.htm
If a law is in violation of first ten amendments that are together called as Bill of Rights then that law is unconstitutional.
It is the right of all to petition congress and tell the lawmakers about their grievances.

Pappu's response is exactly correct. Because you have an advanced degree, you meet the first prong of the NIW test. But, that is the easy part. Meeting the 3 criteria Pappu lists is much more difficult, and, as a practical matter may require you to demonstrate not only the "substantial intrinsic merit" and value of your work to the US national interest, but also your unique/exceptional ability to do that work.

Below is the comment some body gave me in the rating thingie:
"YES LETS NOT HAVE ANY INCREASE IN H1B AND EVEN BETTER IS TO SEND U BAK TO INDIA SO WE HAVE MORE GC'S AVAILABLE, FOOL"
I think he/she wanted to say more, but the system may not have allowed that.:)
I think IV community will start working as a coherent team only when we get rid of the Green/Red thingie.

Hi,
I am currently holding L1 and B1 visa from a company A. Now some company B has applied for my H1 Visa. If I get H1b visa, does both L1 and B1 get cancelled.
Thanks.
My experience at H1B stamping was that they canceled all my previously stamped visas and wrote/stamped "CWP" or "Canceled without prejudice" on them

I am not an expert in law but we cannot "Force" the deparment of state to release numbers. However some numbers are already available for 2005 in usage stats.
If they waste numbers in 2006, then they may be recaptured and used in 2007 - ONLY IF - the comprehensive bill or the PACE act passes as both have recapture provision.
Doesnt the ombudsman report show all numbers even today? I thought they did.

Your question is not clear. "her green card expires on the 21st of august"
- She already got GC ? and expiring after five or 10 years? If so, the divorce will not impact the GC process.
"she has an appointment on that day for what i think is to get her permanent residency"
- If she is not yet getting her GC, then it will impact the GC. Either she has to be patient or lose it. Even after getting GC, if she goes for divorce immediately it will trigger investigation as if your friend married US citizen just to get the GC.
This process is complicated and I dont think you can get the right answer in this forum. Better check with attoney.
Probably he is talking about the conditional green card one gets after marrying a US citizen

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.....

immigration authorities have received about 300,000 applications for high-skilled-employment visas since July 1, federal officials said yesterday.
Citizenship and Immigration Services, the federal agency, was still receiving applications for employment visas yesterday, the last day of a special period it announced on July 17 for immigrants with professional skills to file petitions for permanent residence visas, known as green cards. As a result, the total tally of applications received in the last six weeks was not available
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/18/us/18visa.html?_r=1&ref=todayspaper&oref=slogin
out of 300K applications ,may be 150K apps are from indians , then it'll take 150K/10K = 15 years for the one who applied in July/Aug 07.
