the above scenario was if you were mnaintaing H1 status. if you are working using EAD then ofcourse your current status wont be H1 bur AOS hence you will send proof of that.
The idea is to show that you are here legally and if working prrof of that authorization thorough a visa or EAD.

The original poster said that she was "laid off". So the question of her sponsoring company paying her does not arise. And hence she is without a job and she knows it. On this basis I said that it would be considered fraud if she goes for H1B stamping.
Agreed.
Agreed.

I am thinking of switching the company and look for new job. I am not sure how this will work when I am on EAD and not expecting my GC to come soon as my priority date (EB3) is March 2005.
Possibly the new job will not be 100% aligned with the job desc that was put during the LC.
Do any one can help me guide what are my options?

The words in red are standard for an EVL (employment verification letter) request. That is nothing to be scared of.

I am currently on EAD and used AC 21. Just in case if I suspect that there might be some issue during final I 485 approval, can I have my company apply for my H1 transfer before I 485 is approved?
If I do so, what will be the status of the I 485 application after H1B transfer?
This is a bit confusing question to answer but if I apply for my H1B transfer now, what will be its validity date?
All help appreciated. Thanks all in advance.

Yes, it is possible because H1-B is a dual intent visa.

You are not allowed to re-capture unused photos. This would require a legislative change.:D
When my AP came up for renewal my attorney asked to get new set of photos.
In addition my cousin's EAD application got RFE'ed to get new set of photos even though the photos were recent. The reason given was that they had used same photos to renew their visa few months back (less than 6 months).
Is USCIS coming up some new rule about photos being 'unused' ?? The guidelines say that photos should be recent (taken in last 6 months). However nowhere I do I see that the photos should be 'unused' previously ?
Anyone else had same experience ?

How long does it take for DATV (UK Transit Visa) to be approved? I'll be mailing my biometrics and application early next week and travel just before Christmas.

Wow.... Sounds like those who had TB Skin test come out positive are on the hook for the Medical RFE's
I had my TB (Skin) test positive, but I also think the X Ray reports were included, but I might be wrong...
Good idea though.. and it does make sense to get a new medical done that way the USCIS does not have another thought looking at the old medical forms.

I watched Schindler's list and I don't know, I feel the Jews had it a bit worse than the "highly skilled immigrant" community. You know, what with the gas chambers and millions executed and what not.

Hi Chi_Shark,
I didnt get your analysis on "so i could possibly face a 7 day gap in work authorization". I am also eagerly waiting for my EAD but I was curious what makes you think about a gap of 7 days. Is it 'coz you complete 60 days of filing on Aug 17th and urs expires on 10th. But why 60 days, I thought it has to be 90 days before a request can be made for interim EAD. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks!
you are right! i obviously got the application date wrong. I applied on may 17th - not on june 17th as i previously wrote.

Lawyer: When we get the receipt notice we will immediately submit the correct marriage certificate, till then be married to other person :)
So I guess from legality point of view its not a major issue. Hopefully none of you guys will have to go through this issue.
Another thing is that receipts for application that reached USCIS on June 28th, are reaching the law office, so hang in there for a week or two for July receipts.

No the H1B doesn't become INVALID.
You just may not be eligible for another extension.
All:
What happens to an H1B (based on 3 year extension derived from approved I-140 & pending I-485 with dates not being current). Does I-485 denial result in the H1B also being invalid?

There are lot of people both ahead and behind you (of course with their own set of prayers), some get RFE's some don't. But yes as of this writing and at least for this year GC journey is going to be hard and very slow.

How about contacting companies to give us contact numbers of their employees who's green card is in process, then we can contact them and inform them about IV !

Hello.
I was reading one of the old postings mentioning someone's wife wanting to move from H1 to EAD and a new baby. I am in the same situation and donot know anything pertaining to legal requirement of working specific requirements working with sponsoring employer for specific numbers of hours to keep the EAD status on.
- Currently I (primary) am on H1B working 30 hrs per week as a full-timer. I want to step down to EAD status and just work may be 10 hrs per week or weeks as floater.
- What are the legal hassles am I looking for GC processing if I only work few miniumu hrs on EAD for the sponsor.
- Possibly can I work 2 part-time jobs at same position with diff. employer on EAD? Will USCIS have trouble with me at the time of EAD renewal.
EB3- India July 003
I-140 approved
485 pending
AP and EAD approved. till 2010
Please advise me
Thanks a lot

Thats great news, berkeleybee. You should probably point out that several members may have contributed hundreds or even thousands of dollars,
(including the core team.)
This is a great achievement. I deeply respect the involvement and the efforts of the core team members.

I have filed on August 10th and I do not have a receipt either. I guess we need to be patient. I have checked even people with July 19th are waiting.
