A hypothetical, but important debate on worst case scenario in changing job using AC21
================================================== ======
Assume changing jobs using AC21 has some risk, debate is what is that risk. I am not expecting response like pack up and leave back to home country as I already know that. I am interested serious debate from people who used AC21 and bought houses and simulated in American culture and have family reasons to stay in US.
Lets assume USCIS send some RFE and rejected 485 that new job was not same or similar. Now -
a) How many days I have to leave country ?
b) After the rejection of adjustment of status how many days I have to wrap up my current job or I must leave it same day when rejection letter received from USCIS ?
b) After those number of days can one acquire visitor's visa for up to six months to pack up stuff, house and family on the ground of rejection of adjustment of status?
c) Can one change status to some non immigrant visa such as new H-1B or F-1 by traveling back and reentering to USA ?
d) After the rejection of adjustment of status can one still port priority date in a new green card processing ?
f) I am also interested to hear feedback on what one can do to mitigate the risk of Ac21(I already know that use attorney's advise when changing job or donot change the job)

Simply going by the voting standpoint, I think between now and 08 elections, politicians will have little incentive do anything about our case (i.e., legal immigration) realistically. I'm not sure whether we represent a % of voter population that's high enough for them to place our case on their priority list. Moreover, giving us GC now will probably benefit them (in terms of votes) at least after 5.5 years once the GC holders are citizens and hence able to vote.
Just my thought for what its worth.

Yes, If you have enough Money, Usally 8,000-10,000 $ in the bank statement( This is checked for covering any Medical Bills etc when they are here, just to make sure that the sponser is able to take care of all these when they are in US), That would be enough for you to sponser them.

Guys,
Making all EB visas current was not the right decision in the first place. That will just shift the backlog from one side to another. The only good thing was interim EAD and AP. When the visa bulletin will come out in mid Sep for FY2008 it will not be too bad provided they have already adjucated 60,000 cases in Jun and would be willing to accept more cases. The dates had already moved quite ahead in Jun 07. In Oct it may turnout to be "C" for some categories and show significant movement for others.
I hope we can still use our current medicals provided it is no later than on yr. we may have to sign the documents again with new sign date.
I am devastated myself but thats all we can do at this point. i really dont think lawsuit will do any good. uscis knows what they were doing. Though all this may help in creating a momentum for CIR, Skill Bill once again.

Nebraska Service Center mailed I-131 approval notices for me and my wife on 28th Oct. But we never received them. Its been a month now. So, I called USCIS today morning and they say I need to reapply for I-131 for my whole family because some one else might have picked it up.
I called up post office. They say they have no mails on hold.
Is reapplying the only way out?

Bush said he wants to improve the working visas, I think the prority needs to offer to Canadians because Canadinas use the same language and education system, the distance is closer. We need to call all the senetors, the working visas.etc. need to go to Canadina citizens first.
I agree, except.... if canada is similar and so close to the United States, why would you want to come here:confused:
:D
Good try, anyhow.;)

My lawyer received all the receipts for our AOS, EAS and AP applications and today I got COPIES in mail from her.
Wasn't she supposed to send me the originals and keep the copies? After all, it's my application.
I want to call her but I'm not sure what the general practice is. Did you guys get copies or the original receipts from your lawyers?
Thanks!

My wife has H4 stamped and valid till Nov 2008 but from Oct 2007 she changed her status to H1B. She has I797. My question is when she goes to India does she need to stamp H1 B or she can reenter on already stamped H4 ?

I If I accept the part, will this violate the terms of my H1-b?
Yes. Your H-1B only allows you to work in that position, for the H-1B employer.
Also, if I am approved for an EAD down the road, can I use the EAD to do acting work on the side?
Yes, however you will also need to use the EAD to authorize you to continue the computer programmer position. As mentioned above, once you work as an actor, you have violated the H-1B status and cannot use it even for the programmer position.

Hi Folks.
Whats the cost of filing a motion to reopen the case 485 if wrongly rejected(either due to using AC21...). I mean lawyer fees + other fees.
I am sure there are folks here who went through this.
$585 per MTR (ie principal, spouse, child all seperate) to USCIS. Lawyer fee depends on nature of MTR - usually AC21 MTRs are common and the LAWYER fee must be nominal ie in the $1000 per MTR range

Mine got approved in about 2 months time. My labor certificate reached the lawyer who passed it on to my employer.
I did a big mistake of not asking for a copy and again when I received it while filing I140 - did not make a copy again.
Please save a copy for yourself - it helps a lot while switching jobs during AC21.
Hope this helps.

EB1 - C
EB2 - C
EB3 - C
EB4 - C (if this exists)
EB5 - C (if this exists)
But all cases should be processed by priority dates and the services centers should show the I485 EB catergory cutoff dates instead of the processing dates.

What is minimum duration at which one must get paid at I-140 rate after GC? (after which rate can safely be lesser)
Thank you.

Hi All,
I have efiled for my AP and EAD. I have received the RN for the same. I am planning to travel out of country by end of November. I am pretty sure AP will not be approved by that time. I am planning to travel on H1B visa. My attorney tells me that AP will not be approved if I travel before it is approved. I have to be in the country in order to get the AP approval. Is that true?
Thanks,
DesiXP
