a court actually agreed with USCIS....so a person can work but can't be present in the US and USCIS won the case.

I applied my 485 as a single on July 17th.
I got married and then applied my spouse's on Aug 16th.
Since I am married now, will that cause my application to get rejected as I applied as Single.
I am not sure how would this be handled at USCIS end ?
Any idea ?

I am getting my GC processed on a future employment offer. I already have my EB3 I-140 approved from NSC after A2P RFE, and my I-485 is pending since July 07. I plan to join my sponsoring employer shortly using my EAD, but my attorney told me that I have the optio to wait until I-485 approval. Hope this helps.

I'm also in the same situation. My attorney says wait till USCIS figures out that there are duplicates and sends a notice to withdraw one of the petitions. Of course, the checks would be en-cashed for both the petitions.

Hi,
I am on H1B since June 2004. My company filed labor and I-140. My I-140 got approved on Oct 2008. I am on my 6th year in H1B and I got my H1 extension till Apr 2012 (based on the I-140 approval) recently. Based on this information, can you please reply for the following?
a) Can I move to a different company now? Since my H1 extension is based on I-140 approval, I am not sure if this can be used to transfer to new company.
b) When I do a H1 transfer now, Will I get my H1 date till Apr 2012 as per my current H1 approval notice or just for the few more months I had on my original H1B?
c) What will happen to my labor and I-140 after my H1 transfer? My labor was originally applied in EB3 category. Can I file a new one in EB2 category after transferring to the new company?
Thanks in advance...

How come you guys do not want to go back there?
Taken from the ad.
"The world has long been fascinated by India's culture, history, and recently, the country's spectacular economic growth. With a per annum growth exceeding 8%, India presents an exciting opportunity for domestic and multinational companies alike. Throughout this conference we will explore the various sectors driving this economic expansion."
Thats a very good question.Off late I am seeing lot of people moving back.I can quote my friend's brother.He lived in this country for the last nearly 18 years.He has 37 patents to his credit.He started his company in 2000 and sold that company to Motorola and currently he is a venture capitalist to Bio-tech start up.I was talking to him other day and hes going back for Good in July.
He was of the opinion that you have to always ride the wave.The gold rush of 2000 and before is gone here.It was his opinion.
I think the main reason is people have slogged here and they want to take atleast some benefit of GC.We are contributing Social Security and you will not see a single penny what you paid to Uncle Sam unless you have a GC.

Those who can afford to go to an USCIS office, if you have proper evidence, they issue AP and give it to you right there.

Hi,
I am planning to do concurrent filing on my PERM LC.
1. When will I get my AP/EAD? Will I get it only after I-140 is approved or I-140 approval does not matter?
2. Can I do premium processing on my I-140 in the concurrent filing?
3. Does premium processing available if another I-140 is already pending based on my LC Sub?
Please reply.
Thanks

Graduated from college last year, finally found a job that I really like. Currently on OPT. Just curious to know how long will it take for employer to apply for labor and I-140.
I know most of you are thinking - "are you mad, esp with current gc situation? " the thing is I like it here. My relatives and friends are here. I am hoping that with so many people stuck in the gc process, somebody has to fix it soon - and I (& other newcomers) will benefit from better immigration policy.
can any one let me know how long the initial stages take currently?

I recently received an inquiry at my San Francisco immigration law office from an "employer" who recently discovered that a person whom he had hired as an independent contractor was in the United States illegally. The employer had not originally known that the "employee" was illegal because independent contractors are exempt from the requirements of the Immigration Reform and Control Act (*IRCA*) (https://www.oig.lsc.gov/legis/irca86.htm) that require an employer to verify that an an employee is authorized to work in the United States. The "employer" wanted to explore the options of legalizing the contractor. While thinking about the options, I became interested in how the law defines an independent contractor.
According to 8 Code of Federal Regulations Section 274a.1(j) (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/8cfr274a.1.pdf) an independent contractor is an individual or entity who carries on an independent business, contracts to do a piece of work according to their own means and methods, and are subject to control only as to results.
The decision of whether or not someone is an independent contractor is determined on a case-by-case basis. Factors to be considered include whether the individual or entity:
supplies the tools or materials;
makes services available to the general public;
works for a number of clients at the same time;
has an opportunity for profit or loss as a result of labor or services provided;
invests in the facilities for work;
directs the order or sequence in which the work is to be done and determines the hours during which the work is to be done.
I began to wonder if people used independent contractors to get around the IRCA requirements. Apparently Congress thought about that as there is a regulation which states that an "employer" may not avoid the requirements of IRCA by hiring an independent contractor if a person or entity knowingly uses a contract or subcontract to obtain labor or services of an unauthorized alien. 8 C.F.R. �274a.5 (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/8cfr274a.5.pdf).

Thank you hpandey for the clarification. If I apply H1B extension in premium processing in apr itself, I will know soon if it will go through or not. My plan is to apply H1B transfer immediately to a new employer in case of H1B extension denial from the current employer, as I will still have valid H1B for few more months till Sep 09.
One more doubt I have is whether it will raise a red flag for USCIS, if I apply premium processing in apr 09 for extension from oct 1st 09 or will it be fine. Please let me know.
