Hello Experts,
Little bit of background. I have been working on h1 since 2003 and applied labor in Mar 2005.
I have was able to get my application with 2007 filers. Got my 140 approved last year and ead and FP done as well. My GC sponsoring company is a desi consultancy, which is helpful to a certain extent and I have been with them since 2004.
I am in a bit of a dilemma now. The client, where I have been working for last few years, have instated a new policy in which contractors must be on W2 with the vendors. Vendor I am working with is not big and like any other consultancy (Tek, comsys), will fire if you don't have a project for 15-20 days. In the past, I wouldn't have bothered even thinking about this and moved on for another project but because of recession and difficult job market and I am contemplating this move.
After doing research, I am thinking of the following strategy.
I will transfer my h1b with the vendor and will not use EAD. Plan to work with the vendor for as long as possible and when the contract ends move back with the GC sponsoring employer. I am going with assumption that the GC sponsor will not revoke my 140 (even though it shouldn't matter as I am past 180 days with 485 and 140 is approved) and when the contract ends I have something to fall back on to. Doing that could secure me if USCIS asks EVL in future and I can simply my GC sponsoring company to show that for future employment. Also, I want to keep h1b as a way to bring my wife (if and when, with divine intervention, I get married somehow).
Do you think if this is a viable solution? Any suggestion is welcome.

I wanted hear another opinion apart from my own. It surely did help.Thank you.
I don't believe leaving the company that you had signed an I-9 form with have any impact on your GC app as long as you have a same or a similar job lined up if and when you do get an RFE regarding the same.
As mentioned several times, GC is for future employment and you can switch employers as many times as you want under AC21 (of course you don't want to go overboard with switching employers every few months either :)).
I hope this helps - again this is my understanding of the law and not a legal opinion.

ashkam,
Thank you fro the reply!
She has a Pending I-485 application!
Some people are getting an I-94, which will be valid for an year from date of entry!. Does that mean her parole status expires after one year of re-entry. If so, what should I do to extend it?

The President has started revealing his plans on immigration for the next year. It sounds like he's planning on trying a do-over with Congress and attempting again to get a comprehensive immigration bill passed. He'll make the case for this in his State of the Union Address. I'm happy the President is still interested in working for change, I sincerely hope he is not making passing a reform bill his SOLE strategy. I'm reminded of Presidents in the past who regularly spoke in favor of something, but you just knew they didn't really care and were just trying to appease...

Pure talking points to appease the Hispanic base. Means nothing actually. He couldnt get it done when democratic party was in power. On the whole he is very weak.

Once your wife's starts using EAD, her H status is invalid (H1 or H4).
EAD to H4: Fastest way to get back to H4 would be travel outside USA, stamp, and reenter using H4. You should be maintaining the H1 status all the time.
EAD to H1: In my opinion, she can get back to H1 as long as her H1 is not expired. COS to H1 or extension can not be done past expiry date.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
I need suggestion on travel.
I have applied AP for my wife on April 16 and still waiting. We have expiated her AP last week, still no updates. She has an emergency travel on June 20th. Her previous AP is valid till June 24th.
Can she travel out side on June 20th and come back with new AP when approved (I can mail her the new one once approved) or dose she needs to be in US until the new AP is approved?
As the old AP is valid till June 24th, dost it mean that they will approve the new one only after June 24th?
As this is an emergency I need your suggestion please...

Hello friends,
I filed for I-485 in mid-June 2007 but never received the receipt notice
(due to the issue described in this thread: http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=11788&highlight=undeliverable).
After months of calling USCIS (probably called at least 10-15 times over past 6 months) and having the lawyer send a written letter, I still did not receive the receipt notice as the customer service reps kept telling me that USCIS doesn't send a duplicate receipt notice.
When I saw that one of my friends who had the same issue received a "Replacement Receipt Notice" after calling them numerous times, I decided to call them again. I was able to convince one of the reps to put in a service request requesting "resend whatever was returned to USCIS as undeliverable".
I finally received a letter from USCIS that they will resend the receipt notice but it has been a few weeks since then and I still have not received the promised receipt notice.
Now I need to file for EAD ASAP but it requires you to attach the receipt notice (Notice of Action I-797C or I-797??).
(lawyer didn't file for EAD with I-485 as I have H1)
So my question is:
Can I use the Biometric appointment notice (ASC Appointment Notice I-797C) instead of I-485 Receipt Notice I-797 to file EAD form I-765 as a proof that I filed I-485 ?
What are the odds that they will send my EAD application back saying that I need the actual I-485 receipt notice?
What are my options?
Thanks in advance!

Answers to some of your questions:
I am in the same situation. I have already sent my FOIA request about 3 weeks back. They have processed only 250 request in last one week. They have around 8600 requests. So it will take around 7 to 9 months to get the docs.
Since you will be asking only for I-140 and/or perm docs, there will be no cost.
You need to know SOC code/Job responsibilities/Salary for using AC-21.
Hopefully, some one who has more knowledge will reply to your other questions.

Photoshop might have a filter that could do this, although I'm not sure off the top of my head. I'd go with the Flash version myself, it's quick, easy and you can cut and paste the result into another package without any hassle.

OK, now I understand the question. Even after PERM was implemented, the person being substituted on an LC included a new ETA 750B with the I-140. Since you already have a lawyer working on this, it would be better to ask him/her if you need more details.

I am about to switch to a new employer using AC21 and would work on EAD. I still have more than 2 years on my current H1B (i.e. I'm on 4th year right now).
Can I re-use my remaining H1B in case I need to in future? Because in case my I-485 gets a denial (which shouldn't be the case) I would be out of status!
My case:
sub-labor, 140 approved, I-485 pending for more than 1 year now.

Just make the switch,,thats it! Its that simple!! Make sure when u join the new company they file your perm asap and when u r in the 140 stage, you could work with your lawyer to port your old PD. AC21 has made life better!
