Hi,
I am currently working on EAD, having invoked AC21 once in the past. My labor was filed in 2005 under EB3 (I was eligible for EB2, but my company filed it under EB3, as per their policy). I filed 485 during July 2007 fiasco and am currently working on EAD.
My job qualifies for EB1 now and few of my peers have got Green Card under EB1. Can I port my filing from EB3 to EB1? Would it be better to do it with current employer or with a new employer? Pl. advice.
Thanks

Jagadeesh,
Which state you are in? In some states non-compete is not valid.

I have personally known quite a few cases where there was a problem in converting while in the country. She will have to go back and apply for a change before she comes back.
What my friend did was got married here. Once again went through the formalities and registered the marriage in Columbia, applied for the visa in Columbia and then brought his wife to the US.

Wrong forum iuiukk..This forum is only for LEGAL employment based immigration issues. You will not find a single soul here in IV that will help you or give advice to you to do anything illegal. We are law abiding professionals and so you are looking for advice in the wrong forum.
I came to US on B2 10-year multiple visa, my I-94 is going to expire in a few weeks (first time extension approved ). My husband�s citizenship application has been pending for the past 10 months, it is in internal security check , so don't know how long it will take to clear.
What are the consequences if I over stay on my B1 visa for about 150 days, during which I apply for my I-130 and then go back to my home country and go for the consulor processing. Is this can be done? I got different opinions so confused. Would it impact my consular interview?
The hope is my husband�s citizenship would be approved before that and I might never have to leave the US.
Thanks in advance.

The U.S. Department of State has recently announced that the online registration period for the Diversity Visa Lottery Program for Fiscal Year 2012 (DV-2012) will be from October 5, 2010 until November 3, 2010.
The official online application form is available only on the Department of State Diversity Visa online entry website at www.dvlottery.state.gov (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/www.dvlottery.state.gov), which will be accessible on the first day of the registration period. The Congressionally mandated Diversity Immigrant Visa Program makes available 50,000 diversity visas (DV) annually, drawn from random selection among all entries to persons who meet strict eligibility requirements from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. For DV-2012, no countries have been added or removed from the previous year�s list of eligible countries.
If you are chosen as a lottery winner, an official letter from the U.S. Department of State Kentucky Consular Center (KCC) in Williamsburg, Kentucky will be sent to the mailing address that you provided in your entry. Being selected as a lottery winner does not guarantee that you will receive a visa; you must still apply and qualify for the immigrant visa. The notification letters will provide further instructions, including information on additional forms and documentation required and immigrant visa application fees.

Hi,
I need some clarification regarding my case,
--> Got H1b approved for Employer A in 2008, during stamping received 221G.
--> Submitted documents in 2009 and got stamping done in May 2009.
--> Now Employer B has applied for fresh H1B 2010.
My questions are,
When my petition is approved and having the petition in my hand, do i need to get the visa stamping before travelling for Employer B?:mad:
Will my visa stamp for Employer B only have the starting date to be from October 2011?:mad:
Is there any remote possibility that i can travel for my Employer B at any time earlier to October 2011?:mad:
Note: Have never travelled on H1 (Employer A's Petition)
Thanks in advance.

H-1B Visa Employer that Does Not Effect a �bona fide termination� under the H-1B provisions Liable for back wages to H-1B Employee.
To employ H-1B visa nonimmigrants, an employer must fill out a Labor Condition Application (LCA). The LCA stipulates the wage levels that an employer guarantees for the H-1B visa worker�s pay. In signing and filing an LCA, an employer attests that for the entire �period of authorized employment,� the required wage rate will be paid to the H-1B nonimmigrant.
An employer need not compensate a nonimmigrant, however, if it has effected a �bona fide termination� of the employment relationship. To ultimately effectuate a �bona fide termination� under the INA, an employer must notify USCIS that it has terminated the employment relationship with the H-1B nonimmigrant employee so that USCIS may revoke approval of the H-1B petition. The employer must also provide the employee with payment for transportation home. Failure to do so may subject the employer to liability for back wages to the H-1B employee.
In Amtel Group of Florida v. Yongmahapakorn, Amtel provided notice to the H-1B visa employee that it had terminated the employment relationship. Amtel Group of Florida v. Yongmahapakorn, 04-087 (ARB 9/29/06). However, the court held that notice alone was not sufficient to end the employer�s obligation to pay the required wages to an H-1B employee. The employer does not effect a �bona fide termination� and, therefore, end its obligation to pay the required wages to the H-1B employee unless the employer has also notified USCIS. The court therefore ordered Amtel to pay the employee the prevailing wage for an internal auditor until the expiration of her authorized period of stay for H-1B employment, plus prejudgment compound interest on the back pay owed and post judgment interest until the employer made full payment.

Hi
I just came across the News about Donations by Indian Legal Immigrant to the US hospital. Link is given below
timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/822912.cms?headline=NRI~donates~$30~million~to~US~ hospital (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/822912.cms?headline=NRI~donates~$30~million~to~US~ hospital)"]
I am sure there are several other legal immigrants donations to the US hospitals, Colleges and Universities etc.
I am sure that if we can link those all in one thread and later on can be compiled by IV to make strong point that Legal immigrant apart from generating lots of jobs and economical growth for US also contribute generously to various progressive causes, by the wealth that they make because of their creative mind and skills.
On other hand there is a debate about undocumented workers relying on the US tax payers resources.

Hi,
I am a july 21 filer and received I-485 notices on Sept 26. I am required to join my job on Oct 8 and i want to use the EAD for that.
My question is, if i see the status as "card ordered" before Oct 8, then can i call USCIS to get the EAD number before joining the job. OR does the employer need to be shown the EAD card before joining.
It looks like it is taking 1 week from notice date to see the status change to "Card Ordered" and another 7-10 days or more to get the card.
thanks,
DONT EVEN TRY. wait for the EAD and in the mean time let your future employer know.They will not mind waiting for a week or so.

Repubs are the only one from whom we can expect support for legals.
Dems didn't do sh%$ in first two years when they had majority in all chambers and now they are trying to make repubs look bad.
Yes true, but IV members need to still call GOP lawmakers, including Lamar Smith.
GOP is the best bet for skilled immigrants.

USCIS had been given strict guidelines to process all cases within a six month timeframe depending on the type of the case. But many cases have come to light which are not seeing the light of the day.
How about filing our taxes on April 16, but not on April 15.
What is the relationship between the above two? You will get your return back if its postmarked past the deadline.
