Dear All,
I had earlier submitted my paperwork for I-140 and I-485 concurrently via my lawyers during August 2007. On April 16th this year, I received email notification from USCIS that my I-140 had been denied, and that a letter describing this (with the reasons for denial and options available) was in the mail. That letter has yet to be received (it was probably mailed to the lawyers directly), but in the meantime, I would greatly appreciate your advice on this subject and a response to the following points, so I may plan the necessary action to defend my position:
a) I fully intend to appeal, but have been told that the success rate of such appeals is very low, in the 5-10% range. Would this be accurate?
b) Regrettably, my H1-B expired on January 24th, 2009. I should never have take the advice I did, but as a result, I now only hold an EAD and AP document, with EAD valid until Oct 2010 and the AP valid until Oct 2009.
c) Since my H1-B has expired, would denial of my I-140 automatically cancel my I-485 application? In such an event, am I allowed to stay in the country for the duration of my EAD and/or AP, and work for the same employer?
d) If I am not allowed to stay using my EAD/AP, would it help to re-apply for a new H1-B under premium processing? If necessary, I can even apply under a different company from my present employer (a wholly-owned subsidiary, also based in the US).
e) Another issue that may complicate this is the fact that I have already travelled once this year using my AP (after the H1-B expired), and this has been stamped on entry. Would this pose a problem with any new H1-B application?
I would really appreciate your taking the trouble to respond to the above queries, together with any advice you might have for someone in my position. Many thanks for your help.
Best Regards

Not entirely accurate. H visas have dual intent. You can tell them you will go on H1 and eventually get a GC and citizenship and the consulate cant do a thing. But if you are going for a tourist visa, then they will deny it. (But dont go and actually try saying something like that... you never know)
Secondly, in the past filing LC was not proof of Immigration intent. It was I-140. I dont know what it is with PERM. But look at it this way, the first GC related document that reaches USCIS with your signature and name is the actual proof of intent. I wonder if that is still your I-140 application.

We had the same situation and ones got rejected.
By some reason, the software carried my last year's AGI into my wife's last year AGI box. I corrected it and got accepted on second time efile. I used turbo tax software.
Hope this helps out.
Thanks.

Also, a rise in interest rate if followed by a subsequent decrease in the LIBOR will increase that chance. Provided the Thai Baht remains stable, and another Earthquake does not strike Taiwan.
:)
The premise is that a recession will lower demand for worldwide numbers which will then flow to retrogressed categories due to the AC21 rule.

I came across comments that H1 to EAD is one way. So its better to be in H1 rather than being in EAD. The expenses may not be great even you have to shell out some dollars. If you wish to change jobs and get around 30% increase use EAD.
I attended an interview that i have EAD then when it came to negotiations on salary i accepted the little lower offer and asked them to do H1B transfer. It works....

Hi All,
We are devastated. We got robbed last weekend. We lost everything including our green cards. After 6 years of wait, we got the cards in May. Unfortunately, we did not make any photocopies. We applied for replacement of cards using I-90 forms. Has anyone been in such a situation ?
Please help us with any suggestions.
Thanking you all.

You're aware of the metering limitations (or really, none at all) of the D70 with manual focus lenses, and if you're set on outboard metering, you won't be affected. 6MP vs 10MP isn't that big of a difference until you start printing large (I'd say something greater than 11x17, but that depends on subject matter and personal taste). The D200's viewfinder is much better than the D70's, in my opinion from having used both (but unfortunately not side by side). The build quality is better, but I think both cameras would stand more rain than the average photographer (if you love standing in a downpour for hours, you're the exception, and you should get a waterproof bag no matter what camera you choose ; ).
I wouldn't worry so much about "outdated" technology. The D70 still takes great pictures, so don't let anyone convince you that it would be like driving a 25 year old beat-up car. While I'd just get the D200 (err, uh, I already did), if the expense is a concern, or if you don't need the features of the D200 but aren't sure if the D70 would be enough, consider these possibilities:
Try a D70 and a D1h - those two bodies used would together cost less than a D200, and would give you a camera for high resolution work and another for high speed/high ISO with better build quality, viewfinder, etc. albeit lower resolution and battery life.
Alternately, a slightly less expensive choice would be to get a single D1x. This gives the build quality advantages of the D1h along with as good of (or sometimes better) resolution as the D70, although battery performance would be lacking (you'd need two or three batteries for a full day of shooting, depending on LCD usage). The D1 series is capable of using center weighted and spot metering with AIS lenses, though matrix metering is disabled (the D200 can do matrix metering as well, when the lens data has been entered manually).

Over the past few weeks, readers have written in with a number of comments. We wanted to take a moment to address five of the most frequent suggestions.
1) Combine EAD and AP into one document and issue for 3 years.
USCIS is in the process of developing a combination work authorization (EAD) and Advance Parole (AP) card. An announcement regarding this combination card will be made later this year.
2) Allow people with approved immigrant petition to file an I-485.
The regulations at 8 C.F.R. 245.1(a) prohibit a beneficiary of an approved I-140 or I-130 petition from filing an I-485 until a visa number is available.
3) Do not count the dependents against visa numbers.
The requirement to count dependents against available visa numbers is statutory. This is not something that USCIS is able to change on its own; it would require new legislation to be enacted by Congress in order for this to happen.
4) Publish all the backlog data including that of district offices.
USCIS is currently developing an inventory spreadsheet, similar to the one for employment-based inventory, for family-based cases awaiting visa numbers. This spreadsheet would include information about the number of cases at field offices awaiting visa numbers.
5) Publish visa numbers that have been used to date in the current year.
Unfortunately, USCIS is not able to do this, because USCIS is not the only agency that uses visa numbers (the Department of State also uses visa numbers). Accordingly, publishing USCIS�s visa number usage would not be an accurate representation of the numbers used and the numbers remaining. To determine where you stand in the visa number queue, please review the Visa Bulletin.

hopefully if we pay the $340 for EAD and $305 for AP for each person, we do not have to pay for it again until we get a decision on our GC.We just have to keep renewing these two without paying again..Please correct me if i am wrong.So its like pay one last time..hopefully.
I believe unless you filed I-485 under the revised fee structure last year, you need to pay for EAD and AP renewal every time you have to renew.

Hi, i was looking at Murthy chat log and it states since H1b is a dual intend visa one may keep H1b status and do part time job on EAD ... she did mention that the rules is not crystal clear on some of these issues, but the doctrine of dual intent allows a person to be in both the I-485 and H1B statuses and allows him/her to file H1B extensions, even if the EAD has been used for work, etc., has anyone done that in the past or knows somenone please reply?
Chat User : As many of us plan to start part-time businesses using EAD, if we are on H-1 and use an EAD for a part-time business, does it mean we abandon H1B status? Thank you for your service.
Attorney Murthy : Actually, the H1B allows for dual intent. So even if one uses the EAD to start a PT business, if one closes the business or files an H1B extension with the current employer, that is an option to resume H-1 status. The rules are not crystal clear on some of these issues, but the doctrine of dual intent allows a person to be in both the I-485 and H1B statuses and allows him/her to file H1B extensions, even if the EAD has been used for work, etc.
Chat User : I am applying for I-485 for my family, and my wife is on H1B. Can she travel to India on AP and work on H-1? Does she need to get H1B stamping, or can she use AP for travel and H-1 for work?
Attorney Murthy : The general rule is that, after a person uses the AP, the safer approach is to work on the EAD, but the law allows such a person to also file for H1B extensions, as long as s/he is working with the H1B employer. As mentioned above, the law is not crystal clear on what must happen, and we find that it has been quite broad in this respect, since there are no clear-cut limitations. It would be safer / clearer to have the EAD.

I just received my H1B starting Oct 1st. My desi (cheap) employer first decided to not pay me till Oct 15th because I didn't have a SSN. Then after my SSN came they decided that they wanted to reduce my salary, the reason being that the company's economic situation has changed since Jan filing.
I am concerned because I am going for my visa stamping in March and the last thing I want is to be out of status! When I mentioned this to my boss his answer was -- We will give you a letter stating that you are working reduced number of hours, and we cannot afford the salary promised on I-129.
Can somebody help? What are my options? I was on H4 and moved to H1. I am really frustrated with their attitude and in this economy it is really hard to find a job.
Any help would be great.
A letter alone is not sufficient. You employer has to amend his H1 petition with reduced hours and get the LCA and I-129 approved with DOL and USCIS respectively.
Any violation of H1 rules should be complained with DOL.
Even if the H1 employer terminates you, the termination doesn't take effect unless he cancels your H1 petition with USCIS in which case he has to provide you a return flight ticket.
Here's my suggestion. Educate your employer that he has to pay you the salary mentioned in LCA till the time you're employed with them.
If your employer doesn't oblige then
1) Get your H1 transferred to another employer and file a complaint with DOL to recover all the back wages.
2) In the worst case, go back to H4 and file a complaint with DOL to recover all the back wages.
Knowledge is power. Make sure that you're aware of all the H1 rules so that no H1 employer takes your for a ride.

Do you really think H1-B folks (or even those waiting for PD to be current) will be considered "Long-term conditional residents"?
Not questioning, just wondering...there has to be a catch! But alas, someone is trying for some relief...let's see of this bill ever sees the light of day!

Nuke bill was an agreement between two nations - India and USA - hence Indian govt had a legtimate interest to lobby for it. Lobbying to change the immigration laws of a sovereign nation by a foreign govt is another cup of tea altogether, and will definitely give a bad name to our cause. You have seen what happened when Vincente Fox lobbied for CIR: even americans who were otherwise sympathetic to CIR were hostile to the idea of a foreign head of state telling them what to do with their immigration laws, and quite understandably so. This is a dead horse anyways - what is the point of flogging it further ?
If the govt can lobby for nuke bill, why they cannot do it for techs?
Govt well know that a big chunk of money is gonna come from NRIs and even bigger will come from future NRIs. To sustains India's growth they need it big time.
In my opinion it would be a good idea to seek Govt of India's help..
thx

Did you send two separate checks for 485 or did you combine them into one? How many LIN numbers did you see on the back of the check for 485?
I had sent one combined cheque for EAD. My company had sent a seperate cheque for 485. I just sw my EAD cheque encashed today and it has two LIN numbers (I presume one for me and one for my wife). Not sure about 485 cheques since my company had sent them.
