Hi Experts,
Need inputs on following scenarios.
I have approved I-140 with Company A. I am on H1 currently, 7th year. My extension is due on April 2011.
Scenario 1: If H1 extension gets denied, can I move to H4 (my wife is on h1) and then search for a job and convert from H4 to H1 using approved I-140 from company A?
Scenario 2: If I move to Company B, and do not start GC there, after 3 years, can I get 3 years extension based on approved I-140 from company A?
Scenario 3: If I move to Company B, after some time, can I move to company C using I-140 from company A?
Given the uncertainty of h1 approvals these days, please suggest favorable scenarios in the cases above.
Thanks

Try orbitz.com. You can book tickets from India and pay in USD. If the airline you selected still issues paper tickets instead of e-tickets then orbitz mails the tickets to your US address.

It appears to me that we should file all I-485 applications in July. Even if the advantage is illusory or marginal, it may be a good idea to file. If your application is ready to go, it should be filed. Regards. Rajiv.

Thanks for your prompt reply.
My I-94 has already expired .So should I put that validity date??
I-94 was for H1B and it is already expired.Working on EAD and didn't travle out of USA so doen't have new I-94.
Thanks again
If you don't have a valid I-94 then you could add your AP expiration date as the validity date

Thank you all.
I was able to apply without any hassle at all. I took all my documents, but only needed passport, driver's license and EAD as proof.
Thanks again for all of your replies!

I am on 9th Year H1 extension and my H1 will expire in end of September 2009.My Labor got approved in 2007 So, I filed I140 and I-485 concurrently. But My I-140 got denied which filed with concurrent then Lawyer appealed as Motion to Reopen the I-140 which got denied and lawyer filed another I-140 as a brand new.
So there are 2 I-140's with the USCIS.
Recently I got intended to Deny like ability to pay query with the Second I-140 case, then lawyer answered the query and filed in premium this one got denied after a week.
Again, First I-140 which lawyer did Motion to Reopen this one also denied from the USCIS but the lawyer appealed this one.
Infact I recently travelled to india and came back on Advance Parole before all this denial happend.
Now, I filed my H1B extension , What will happen to the H1 extension ?
and What is my status now?
Can I tranfer my H1 and file the labor entirely new with the new company eventhough I am in the 9th year extension?
Any help would appreciate
Thanks
Reddy

Definitely there is a plan. Let me put it this way -
1. There is a lot of work to create a non-profit org. and the initial founders of this org. has achieved that.
2. Once you set up a non-profit org., you are audited by IRS to make sure that none of the funds are used for personal expenses. So, there will be no misappropriation of funds.
3. I think it is pretty clear that a large part of the money will go towards lobbying.
4. People are spending money to go to Washington DC from all across US - that is where they are making the plan.
5. Please call the number on the website for a couple of minutes to find more details.
Remember this organization can be a huge factor in deciding how long you will have to wait for your GC.
Thanks,
Raj

Friends,
I need your opinion. I came to USA in May 2005 and my H1-B is going to expire in Feb 2008, as per I-94 card as well as stamping of the H1-B visa. Thanks to USCIS ;) for opening the gates in July 2007, I had applied for I-140, I-485, I-131 & I-765, based on my approved EB-3 labor with PD 02/2007. While my I-140 and I-485 are pending, my EAD & AP were approved and received by me. My existing H1-B is expiring in Feb 2008 and my employer company has not taken any steps to renew. The Legal Assistant replied me cooly that why I cannot use EAD. I had been taken aback by her answer.
I have planned to talk to the top management of the company, but before talking to them I want to take all your opinion. Is it adviseable to use EAD in my situation? I have 3-yrs degree qualification and have been anxiously waiting for clearance of I-140.
I look forward for your advice,
Thanks in advance

Does she have EAD? If not on H1, she needs to be in EAD. (or other status like F1 etc). Otherwise she is out of status. In that case, H1 will be denied because an H1 application while out of status will lead to denial.

"Desi3933- For valid H1 status, the LCA location dictates the job location. The job location must be 50 miles (I need to check on this) with in LCA location."
1. From where you found this 50 mile rule. Are you sure about this?
2. If you have worked on 2 LCAs (1 used for the 1 time 1HB, another during the extension), then in that case they look into the latest (used for extension) OR they look into both?

Wrong. The DS-160 is just part of the process. Consulates all over the world cannot issue visa until they can verify through PIMS. I was asked a lot of questions in the interview because my name did not appear in PIMS. At the end, the consulate said, I qualify for the VISA but their hands are tied. Consulates have no control over PIMS and according to the consulate, they send an inquiry to KCC and have to wait for them to update.
My interview was in June so I don't know if things have changed since but please consult your attorney.

People who filed I-485 after the July fiasco (starting with the August 2007 bulletin) paid a higher initial fee ($1010) - but they don't have to pay any EAD & AP fee - either the first time or for any renewals.
Look at the "Special instructions" sections of the following URL:
http://www.uscis.gov/i-485
so those that didn't pay the new fees when they filed 485 but paid the new fees for renewal of EAD and AP what happens to them? do they also get free renewals?
