In my opinion - with a Apr10 AP expiry date, getting a Schengen until Apr20 may not be possible. Unless the consulate wants to be nice to you! :)

well my responsibility would change from technical to more managerial stuff, in that case I can not move EAD?
Can we change job using AC21(I-140 approved , I-485 pending for more than 180 days ) on H1 without using EAD.(so that future wife can come on H4 )

This was a complete and total screw up on my part (I forgot my flash was on) but after looking at it for a while....I kind of like it. Somehow, it works (to me anyway)...I should inform you that a few people I've shown this to from school think I'm either crazy or possibly going blind because I like it.

Is there a Risk?
I'm working in Company 'A'. My company is filing for H1 extension for me along with my wife's H4 Extension in the month of April (before that it is not possible it seems - according to lawyer or Imm. dept of company 'A')
Company 'B' is filing H1 visa for my wife on April 1st.
So my question is: Is there a RISK to file 2 separate petitions (H4 Extension and H1) in the same time frame?
If yes, what's the option?
If no, should I say to my employer or lawyer (Company 'A') to not to file H4 extension for my wife because of the overlap of time frames?

06/10/2008: USCIS to Issue Multiple-Year EAD for I-485 Waiters at End of June 2008!
The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security announced on 06/09/2008 that the DHS would start issuing multiple year EAD beginning from end of June 2008 for the I-485 filers. Hooray!
http://www.immigration-law.com/
FROM DHS Secretary Chertoff
.... I'm also pleased to announce that we will be extending the validity period of the employment authorization documents that we issue to individuals who are waiting adjustment of status to lawful permit residenture or in colloquial phrase, the green card.
Currently, adjustment applications are granted employment authorization documents with only a one year maximum validity. Beginning later this month, we'll start issuing these documents with a two-year validity period for aliens who are waiting adjustment of status if their application is expected to be pending for more than a year.
This, again, is eliminating a persistent source of frustration for workers who are here, who have a pending adjustment application but have to go and renew their employment documents every single year. It's going to cut the paperwork there. ....

Hi,
I am a dependent of my parents who are currently staying in the U.S. with E-2 Visa. We have stayed in the U.S. for almost 9 years now and we are trying to get a Green Card.
My parents have already filed and received an approved I-140, but my parents say that we have to wait couple years before being able to file I-485.
I don't quite understand why there is a delay between receiving an approved I-140 and filing I-485.
It seems like everybody either files both I-140 and I-485 concurrently or file I-485 immediately after I-140 is approved.
So, my question is: Is there usually a span of time that applicants must wait before filing I-485 after getting their I-140 approved?
Thanks a bunch,
--HJ

Hello everyone,
I was scheduled to go to an I485 interview(PD: March 2006) at the end of this month.
Here is my situtation, my H1B was expired at 08/15/09 and I renewed my expired EAD(expired in January, 2009) on 07/30/2009. However my previous employee laid me off on 08/31/09. Before I got my new EAD on 11/18/09 and started my new job on 11/23/09, there was a period of time(from 09/01/09 to 11/22/09) that I was umemployed without a valid H1B or EAD.
Is that a big deal when I go to the interview? If it is, does anyone want to provide any advice?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Andrew

hi,
I am a little confused on my case. This is how it is:
I recently got married and am back in the US. My wife is employed in India and shall be filing for her H1 this year(Apr08).
At the same time,given the unsurity of H1,we shall also be going for her H4 Visas in Mar-Apr so that she can be here in the US,ASAP.
I have a few doubts/questions:
1) Since her H1 would be filed on April 1st,do I need to wait till April 1st before going for her H4 so that her application stands clean ?
and
If I go for her H4 before April 1st(say March 29th),does her H1 filing need the H4 details ?
Also,assuming during her H1 filing she didnt have H4 and then gets her H4(say on Apr 2nd) and comes to the US. Assuming her H1 gets approved,does she have to leave the country and get her H1 stamped for change of Visa from H4 to H1(note at the time of H1 application she didnt have her H4 Visas) ?
I hope I am able to explain my confusion well. Any help on this is appreciated.
Thanks !!

hello,
My question is about getting the visa after 6 years. I know that you can apply for 1 year extentions each year until your case is closed. We have applied and were approved. Our attorney said we had 2 choices to get the VISA issued.Either we go to our country and get it or we can go to Bahamas for a day and get it. Apperently, Bahamas and US has an agreement and they do it very quick.
What happens if we do not get the VISA stamp on our passports? I mean we are working and do not want to leave the country,dowe still have to get the actual VISA? Do we have a problem next year when we apply for extention if we do not get the visa stampped this year?
Visa is required when you have to travel outside US and reenter again.You can get as many extensions as possible by the law.visa stamp is not a problem for your next extension.

Thanks much for your reply, BumbleBee.
There will be a great chance that my parent company will close down my current company after I'm transferred to them. I don't think my current employee will withdraw my I-140 case in the future. Hopefully that I-140 will go thru so I can use its PD for my future PERM/I-140 application.

Yes there are limits to salary. I will try to post more details on it when time permits and as I myself find details from my own research.
Basically, stay above what was in your labor/140. Do not go too high, 10% per year raise is ok. Job duties should stay same or similar. You can be a sr. software programmer from a software programmer but not a VP or Architect...(you got my point).
This is a gray area and tough to get a correct advice easily.
This is also a big issue for our community since people cannot get promoted or take big salary raises due to this limitation. Ask people who are stuck in 485 stage for many years.
I know a lot of people are counting days to just jump into a new job after 180 days. But make sure you factor in all the risks when you do this. Be prepared for an RFE on it.
and BTW I am reading so many posts that say you can jump jobs before 180 days. Please do not misrepresent the Yates Memo and regulations to prove a point. You need to stck to the job for 180 days definitely. The only exception is that if you are sure that the job offer will wait for you indefinitely in infinite future when you get an RFE. Do not take immigration laws lightly. And yes, always seek advice from a good lawyer when you take such important decisions. Forums are simply opinions from people without a law degree or experience.
will post more on this thread as I find more info
