Wonderful holiday season to all IV members and their families.
Drive safely if you are planning to drive, if you are flying or other means, get early to the place of travel.
Have a wonderful time, have faith on IV and lets keep the grassroots efforts on going.

To apply for EAD you need the following documents
1. I-131 EAD Application document
2. Copy of I-485 receipt notice
3. 2 colored passport pictures - recent
4. Cashiers cheque as stated in the form.
Send all this in and wait. You dont need an attorney to do this. This is really a simple procedure.
You need to send in I-765 form and not I-131. I think I-131 is the form for advanced parole. Other than the form name, the above looks correct.

My case is little bit different.
EAD was approved on August 11th and I got the card in mail couple of days after I received the email. But, I haven't received the approval notice for my EAD yet. The status on the EAD shows that the approval notice was sent on August 13th. I had no issues with AP though.
Application Type: I765, APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION
Current Status: Approval notice sent.
On August 13, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I765 APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION.

Some times airline people don't even bother to collect the I94. It happend to me twice and I still have those old I94s. I think they will just collect it if you have it on the passport. They will scan your password for your depature entry which is more important. I think you should have not any problem.

Approximately the same. My lawyer filed paper based for me and I e-filed for my wife around the same time , they came within 1 weeks of each other ( don't remember which came first ) , the only thing is , for e-filed EADs, you have to go to the nearest USCIS office for a biometrics , while paper based EADs have the pictures with the application.
thank you "div_bell_2003". e-file and paper renewal, does it take the same
processing time?

Are you aware of July 2nd visa bulletin fiasco. It affected atleast 5-7 00 000 foreign workers each getting a loss of 3-4 000 dollars. DOS and USCIS played a bad game.
Can you http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/06/us/06visa.html investigate and give us more details
Thanks

I am also having same situation as 'TamilSelven's wife. But my H1 visa was expired in Sept 2009 and I didn't work on that. I am on H4 for now and got one offer from another employer.
So my queries are :
- will I get H1 again under COS?
- If yes, how much time will it take to get H1 again?
- Does this process will be like a new H1?
- how much will it cost to my employer with attorney fees?
Thank you.
Meet
Yes You can get new H1B.
Time Depends on type of processing.....premium you should get within 2 weeks.
H1B extension or Transfer or New one....whatever its all the same process. But called differently.
Now H1B fees got hike.....may be around 5K I believe.
Check for USCIS fee for I-129 on USCIS Home Page (http://www.uscis.gov) and add Education Evaluation, Attorney Fee, Fedex charges etc.
Please ask your Employer for break up if you are paying for it.

Hi Everyone
I got an RFE for my I140 filed in September 2006. They asked me to show my W2 for 2006 and also show that the employer had the ability to pay the offered wage in case my W2 is less than the offered wage.
My W2 has 8k less than the offered wage. My company has not yet filed 2006 Taxes. Can you tell me whats the best thing to do? My employer has good revenue, but I guess he has been showing a net loss every year.
Please help me out. Tell me if any of you have gone through similar issues.
Thanks!
The fact that the company paid you less than the labor stated does NOT matter. Remember that I140 is for a future employment offer. I140 checks if you have the qualifications for the offered job and if the company can pay you the prevailing wage WHEN you get that job; and when your GC is approved. However, you company must show that at the time of filing it was ABLE to pay you the prevailing wage or more. This is easily done by supporting documents such as taxes and other financial statements.
The company does not need to pay you the prevailing wage when you file I140, but it needs to show that it could pay you such a wage if that was needed.
Any qualified immigration attorney will be easily able to overcome this RFE if the company's financial position was strong at the time you filed for labor.
You can show your W2s even with lower salary. But you must also show that the company had the resources to pay you the prevailing wage at the time labor was filed. Your attorney will write up a nice cover letter when sending out the response to your RFE. Even if the company showed net losses, but has reasonable assets that are more than the missing 8k, it can still be shown the company was able to pay you the wage.

Your case is tricky. AC21 may not protect you. First, your case is subsitution labor. That itself a negative factor. Second, your GC is for a future job. This means, you have not worked with sponser during non-immigrant status. As well as, you do not have intension to work for the sponsor after getting GC, as you have intension to invoke AC21. GC is for good faith intension in both parties(employer and employee) to have emplyment relationship after employee gets GC. As you have not worked for the sponser at any point of time, it is very difficult to prove that you have "good faith intension", if your employer withdraws the 140. It is not the AC21 issue, it is mostly the intension issue.
Also you mentioned that there is a financial issue. If your employer is not able to pay the salary for your position as per 140, then it is a geneune reason for him to withdraw. Then the 140 may become a misrepesentation. On the other hand, if employer willing to pay the 140 salary and if you are not accepting, then it clearly establishes that you have no intension of working for him at that salary. So, in this case AC21 will not applicable.
I do have intentions of joining the employer once the GC is approved. The financial terms are regarding extra money for the GC process.

Well, when you applied in the past the whole world was not current.. just imagine the number of people who will be applying for EAD's not that any one with an approved labor can get one ... do you think the USCIC is equipped to respond timely to every one?
There sure will delays and we need to plan for that.
I dont know exactly what is the issue here, but I have filed for EAD extentions 3 times in last three years and it was a very straight forward and easy process. We filed the extentions about 2 months before the expiration and got EADs and APs done in about a month.

Most affected are Chinese and Indian members...I don't know much about Chinese but I know from experience that it is hard to get money out of Desis...
They have a multiplication factor inbuilt in their minds 1$X44 = 44 Rupees!!!
So sad.
I am a desi too. So do not get offended.
Actually it worst for India now (china retrogression is lesser)
Either way Chinese nationals have other aveues (because
of communist govt, anti-two child law etc which make asylum cases strong)

I think she need to fill I-9 form to switch to EAD and thus switching out of H1.
Right now she is on H1 as well as AOS.
How will a person fill I-9 form when she is not working. she lost her H1-B status when she stopped working. Now she will be on AOS. I do not think anything needs to be done

Folks,
To celebrate or not to celebrate is the question. I received this email from my attorney's office:
Congratulations! You and your wife are now Legal Permanent Residents of the United States! It has been confirmed this afternoon your I-485 applications were approved this week and your green cards have been ordered.
However, my online status did not change. My question is : Has USCIS stopped updating online status ? or Is this a mistake on my attorney's side ?
Can I do anything in the next 3 days to confirm what happened to my case ? Suggestions appreciated.
It is going to be a long long long weekend for us.
