This is completely wrong. Once you are in EAD and got laid off...you lose your status. There is one more thread in this forum where one guy applied for unemployed benefit in EAD, in a weeks times the ICE was coming to his home and severed the notice to appear in the court. That guy started the thread and every one bashing him for applying the unemployment benefit. But he later came to know that his employer notified the USCIS that he got laid off during EAD. So he lost his status and they wanted to deport him. I am not sure about the outcome. He is here in only in the IV. That thread was created in the last 2-3 months time. So search for it.
There is definitely some legal implication otherwise why your employer wants to inform USCIS. They wanted to be in the safer side. So if anything happens you are the one going to face the music. So check with some good attorney.
This is all nonsense !

I have two 797s: one which is current valid till June 2007 and the other from July '07 till July '10 (using my approved I140). I am going for visa stamping this March at Chennai consulate. Can they combine both my 797s and stamp me till 2010 or they'll do it only till June 2007?

I disagree with waitingnwaiting. I had got 221G about 5 years back. I work for one of the fortune 500 company and had all the paperwork sent by our company's professional law firm. US embassy randomly picks application for processing. It took abt a month to get the approval. As long as the application/documentation is correct and there is nothing to worry.
I would suggest to spend more relaxed time with family or going out which we rarely get with 3-4 weeks vacation.
It does not matter if you work for fortune 500. There could still be fraud or suspecion. Read Indian IT cos face US visa fraud woes - Corporate News - livemint.com (http://www.livemint.com/2011/04/11164715/indian-it-cos-face-us-visa-fra.html)

Important Note - I think the fine print of this bill was discussed a few days/weeks ago and the visas will actually be going to recent grads (within the past 5 years). It will in now way help the EB2's and EB3's who are waiting in line forever.
I think this is the right time to work on modifying the text of this bill. If not these GC's will be given away to people who haven't even applied yet !
No my friend, check my previous post, that was directly taken from the bill summary, the numbers will roll down for present EB community.

The bad news is that. You will get your green card in 5 years and after other five years you will get your citizenship. So in 10 years will be in position to get married.
Now , you will be wondering what is the good news.
Well!, I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switiching to GEICO.:D

Approvals for Mid-may have started now. They are in that region. July cases would be Nov/Dec.
I am telling because my mid-may I-140 case got approved today. I am from retrogressed country. So cannot file I-485.
Atleast you are able to file it, then why are you restless? Go have a beer!

Just curious - Have you heard of a case being rejected just because the salary was higher than the original LC ?? (Assuming job title/description are same or similar). I think it will be almost impossible for them to reject just because is higher!! Govt. cannot dictate the upper limit of salaries (in private sector).
nope, so far I have not come across a single case where this has been an issue (which was one reason I went ahead with the move). However there have been inklings about USCIS possibly taking a tougher position on this in the future.
For instance see:
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_porret.html
Salary Considerations for the New Job
�MurthyDotCom
Attorneys in our firm are frequently asked about the impact of a difference in salary when changing jobs under AC21. We are also asked what "same or similar" really means in order for one to be eligible under AC21 portability. USCIS policy memoranda, particularly the May 12, 2005 Memo referenced above, have been quite favorable on these matters. However, in that same memo, the USCIS stated that the forthcoming AC21 regulations "may take a more restrictive position than this memorandum." Therefore, while issues such as salary differences do not appear to be problematic at present, foreshadowing indicates that this could change when the regulations are released at some future date.
From my research I have found so far that it will be hard for them to put a dollar or percentage figure on the amount the salary can vary. The best they can do is perhaps put it in some range based on prevailing wages. Other than that, salary itself is a very market driven thing. I hope they dont, and I dont think it buys them much. The DOT codes and job-duties description should be what they should look at (or actually they should broaden the allowed job changes considering how long the wait has become now-a-days).
Lets see what happens. Main trouble is like what Murthy mentions in that article a little later: if changes happen, they are retroactive...

They won't be any better off here.Instead of being kicked out fair and square, they will be made to decay on H1 visas for 15-20 years. Talk of choosing a rock over a hard place. Besides, the British MPs seem to at least understand what skilled immigration means - here they will have the pleasure of being grouped with meat-packers and grape-pickers who matter-of-factly walked across the border.
I think its also a lesson for those tired of the US immigration system and considering moving to other countries - lets face it, immigrants are not exactly welcome anywhere. Either stick it out, or return to home country.
Yes, I heard about them, and I know that a lot of people are moving/going to move to the US and will be flooding the h1b visa quota sooon.

Same here...We received same FP fees rejected notice but checks are cashed. Our lawyer mailed the proof of cashed checks for 325 + 70. But to our surprise even before that we received appointment for FP.
I think this is common error on USCIS system. Most probably they will send you FP appointment notice. So relax..
I talked to my lawyer and they said the checks has been encashed. I talked to an IO, and he said that they did receive the $70. But I asked them why the status saying FP fee rejected. TO that he replied I dont see that. But since we have mailed you a notice, you go acheck the contect of the notice after you receive it.
But my lawyer send an info from AILA, which says that the USCIS is erroneously rejecting the cases inspite of sending the correct fees.
I dont know what to do ?

How did you send your payment? Was is a personal check or a Money Order.
I renewed 5 times for myself and five times for my wife and each time I sent a money order and it went thorough without issue.
I am not sure if they accept personal checks however. You have to look into that if that was how you were attempting to pay.
Once you have the correct payment method, and have done your part, contact your congressman's office, or your senators office, and have them follow it up. You could also explain the delay and send them a copy of the relevant documents including payments. FYI, always better to call their immigration liason and develop a regular contact with them.
It will be helpful to you and also help with any lobbying efforts. I urge more of you to do that.
I've got to tell you however that sometimes, even if you do everything right, they can be late. They took 124 days once for me, and I applied 96 days ahead of the expiry. In the end, no reason, no explanation, no apology, no nothing, just an approval notice and card. It is another of the uncertainties you have to deal with as an EAD holder. Fortunately for me I had a concurrent H1b running at the time and my Lawyer suggested I continue working.

I am GCBikari and I approve this message. You are saying you ran out of savings and in next paragraph you're talking about investments!! Anyway what I did was list out all minimum payments (rent/mortgage, car, utilities, groceries, gas). This gives the money needed every month in worst case. Then multiply by 6 months. Keep that amount in bank or a locker (now a days difficult to trust banks also!!). Then go for what others talk about like 401k, Roth IRA.. You will have a better start once you know how much you need per month to make a living on bare minimum.
My recommendation would be to build at least 6 months of emergency fund. Open an account with ING Direct or HSBC where they pay decent interest rate on a savigs account. Build the emergency fund first.
Once you have sufficient foundation, then I'd say start building investment foundation. If you employer has 4o1K plan, then start putting pre-tax dollars upto the maximum contribution at employer matches (generally it is 6%). If your employer doesn't have 401K plan, then open a ROTH IRA and start investing in low cost mutual funds or index funds. Vanguard is generally the best place to get low cost, no load funds. Once you max out both 4o1K and ROTH IRA, then start looking into opening a taxable individual investment account.
Hope this helps.
Disclaimer: I've all of the above I'm recommending and have followed the same plan I've given you.

According to an IO i talked to recently the background check has 6 stages which includes name check.
Sometimes for verifying the names and address they send it to local USCIS office for verification.
So it may not be for interview. But you could be in the last stages of the background check and will be approved soon IF the dates are current for your PD.
Good luck!

There is nothing funny about our state in US. Unless the humor is very dark the relevance will be lost. The idea can't bee to make another Monsoon Wedding.
There are many ways of telling a story. It can be either with humor or sentiment or any thing else. If we are presenting a story that was meant for telling problems (like h1b/GC process) presenting only problems will not achieve our goal in publicity. Show something that audience like (most of people like healthy humor I think) and include your concept/problem in that so that it will get in to people. Otherwise it will be so called award movie with lot of tears and sadness. Even that would work if it was presented with lots of creativity.
Any way problems are not only in US and they are there everywhere. I am also struggling with these Visa issues (GC waiting since 2002), but that doesn’t mean I haven’t had any humor in my life here in US. I didn’t understand your comment against movie like monsoon wedding. Please elaborate.

This date movement could also be to silence amendments like Cantwell's which are based on Backlogs. A parallel GC system to Point based was called a poison pill by Sen. Kyl. I guess may be this is a way to lock up one of those pills. Could be Chertoff's trick to mine-sweep the path for CIR.
