joining the club...
my I-485 was nicely pending @ TSC, and the company just sent H1 papers off to VSC for processing, so I can come back on H1. I am currently sitting in London (working for my GC employer from their UK office), when I got the Card Production E-mail. My previous H1 approval expired in March.
My EAD will expire next month, as well as AP. So, here is the rub, they will not let me come back to US on AP since system shows GC approved, H1 will be rejected since GC is approved.
needless to say PD is not current. I kind of remember having an approved RIR Labor with PD June 2004, but I dont remember having sent for I-140...No idea what to do and how to check that.
Dont trust company's lawyer, and I sent all I-485 papers by myself back in July 2007. I have an attorney that I bug from time to time but he is on vacation now...
So... am I completely screwed...?
My employer transfered me from US to UK couple of months ago, now they are transfering me back. I did go for H1 stamping in Dec here in London and IO said something like, my GC is taking too long, he will check why I dont already have it..
Just venting here, no clue whom to talk to next....
Any suggestions are welcome...

Is there any improvement related to HR5477 bill in house?

I still can't connect Republicans with legal immigration. I was asking before, what Republican sponsored bill was passed that supports legal immigrants?
They are all corrupt and they are all actors. I am talking about all politicians, in this or any other country. They are not leaders, they are all politicians.
Republicans project themselves as pro-business that is expected to create more jobs for Americans. They support legal skill immigrants not because legal immigrants are "beautiful", but because legal immigrants help big-business make more money. For republicans this is not the question of pro or anti immigration, it is primarily 'wealth creation' issue for big-business. Republicans usually do not support provisions for employee protection as it hurts the agenda of big-business.
Don't get me started about Democrats who are no different. Its just that Democrats don't care about skilled immigrants at all and they only care about big business during fund raisers.
Even Bush was not able to push Republicans to support CIR. McCain was forced to disavow his support for CIR just to win the nomination.
Bush did what he could to push for CIR. If all Democrats would have supported, CIR would have passed in 2006. In 2007, if it was not for blue dog democrats, CIR would have passed in 2007. But democrats had decided to set their priority for not forcing their congressmen/women to go through a difficult vote which may possibly make Democrats lose the election in 2008.
On the other hand, it was always at the time of a Democrat President when immigrants had freedoms. VB was almost always current. You can get driver's license easily.
Difficult with DL is primarily due to the fallout of 9/11, it is not because of a democratic or republican president in office.
Again, going back to the question, what Republican Bill was passed in support of us, legal immigrants?
Most legal immigration bills were passed/worked upon by Republicans including AC21 bill. Not because republicans are pro-immigrants and democrats are anti-immigrants, but the reason is republicans are supposedly pro-business.
HR5882 is co-sponsored by Sensenbrenner. He was the biggest opposer of recapture bill in 2005 before he decided to co-sponsoring recapture bill HR5882 in 2008.
Look, it is not correct to generalize that Republicans are anti-immigrants and Democrats are pro-immigrants or visa-versa. They are all actors and each individual lawmaker decide their position based on how it would effect their re-election. Wait till you see Durbin show his act, most people on this forum, legal tax paying law abiding people will all be toast. Just wait and watch, writing is on the wall.

The only positive I can take from this is that it will remove most if not all the US masters degree holders from the general queue.
It may take time but atleast for people such as myself (direct H1B in 1999), we can move up in the queue.
I sincerely hope that IV supports this initiative.

What are we supposed to do now?? we should make this an IV campaign issue. USCIS is not following the rules set by congress. AC-21 is the law and USCIS is not following the law and causing hassel to the legal immigrant community. The legal immigrant community should really do something about this.
I will wait for Denial notice. My attorney might get it mid next week if USCIS send it today.
I don't know if anyone has been through this situation before.... I want to know if they filed MTR and case got reopened?

You are reading my post selectively and not in its entirety. I did not say EAD is waste and useless, I said EAD is waste and useless without the removal of semilar or same job requirement in AC21 as USCIS will sooner or later deny AOS based on semilar\same job requirement. Do you know how many RFE\denial notices have been issued by USCIS to EAD\Ac21 workers? There is an entire thread running into several pages related to that. Scores of people wrote to USCIS ombudsman complaining about USCIS issuing denial notice to people whose I140 was revoked by previous employer even though Ac21 says AOS continues even if I140 is rovoked by previous employer. There are instances where USCIS has issued rfe to prove they are in a same\semilar job. History has shown USCIS uses issues like same\semilar job to kick people out. Based on the IO adjudicating your case, based on the economic climate etc USCIS has made life difficuly (current h1b crackdown is a example).
What I am saying is bring in protection to AOS by
-removing the same or semilar job requirement in AC21
-making sure USCIS does not deny AOS when previous employer revokes aproved i140.(even though ac21 says aos cannot be denied, USCIS is sending denail notice).
Yes EAD is absolutely better than H1b but not for long, when people start using EAD instead of H1b, USCIS will start denying AOS based on Same\semilar job or other grey areas (not working on EAD because of lay off) then you are back to square one. If you are on EAD and AOS is denied you are out of status like H1b. Close the loopholes first before you open the pre filing AOS. Your statement regarding not work at all on EAD is not correct. USCIS can issue rfe\denial notice for lack of job. I hope it was true that it does not matter if you are not working at all on EAD.
I read through your reply, however, I found it extremely hard for me to accept your points. You've been probably on EAD too long to remember what a dire condition you came from as an H1B worker. Let's look at it:
As an AOS, you can:
- Work for any employer
- Not work at all
- Travel out of the country without worrying visa delay
- When you got laid off, no need to worry about being out of status or restarting GC
As an H1B worker:
- If you are laid off, everything, years of wait, thousands of dollars, down the drain, and the whole family becomes out of status immediately. And in this dire economy, this is a sword hanging on the head of every H1B worker.
- Worry about re-entry visa each time you travel
With such a huge different, I can hardly convience myself that EAD is 'useless' or 'waste'. True, you'll need to work for same or similar job, but compared to the benefit, it is not nearly as big a problem faced by H1B workers day by day.

Guys like you are not capable of comprehending the whole issue here and even if you are, you cannot articulate.
I just said i miss those good old days before coming to america was possible for masses. There is value as long as it is limited.
I did not look down up SW industry but loath these cheap desi companies who really raped this H1 visa program and the people standing on the streets of washington are the byproducts of that rape.There simply are not enough visa numbers. To increase them or not is that country's soverign right.And what rights are you talking about.A Visa is a privelege not a right.
Aunts and Uncles with Gifts is no reason for you to look down upon entire SW Industry. Remember ur handle "JISDESH......" is prospering because of this Industry. Your Uncles and Aunts didnt do anything to get "JISDESH..." to the position it is in today.
You probably dont deserve a response. I am not from SW industry and yes I have a double Masters but don't feel heart broken that these guys stood up for their rights!!!

not be as simple as H1 renewal. G325 is pretty important form. The information provided on it is wrong. They could treat it as falsifying document.
OP please contact your lawyer asap.
Thanks gcformeornot, for your response.
Info I provided on G325 is correct. I have only worked for 'Employer #1' and 'Employer #2', which I entered in G325. I have never worked for 'Employer X' and I did not mention 'Employer X' in G325.
Thanks.

Sent message and 10 of my other friends who are not IV members and are stuck in the backlog.
Thanks for setting this up. When I used to see this tool on other sites like numbersusa, I was wondering how IV can use similar technology tools. Luckily, technology makes the same set of tools available to all the parties working on the issue and allows them to play on the same playing field.
Unfortunately I cannot attend DC effort due to earlier commitments but I will contact my key state senators (newly elected moderate republican key for this effort) in summer and is contributing monetarily to IV for DC effort and can help anyone for tickets/housing for DC effort.
Kudos to IV for setting this up. Great job!

I said yes but I am calling on behalf of all the legal immigrants who would like to see a better streamlined process so that thousands of tax payers in US can breath a sigh.

U.S. Department of Labor - Find It By Topic - Equal Employment Opportunity - Immigration (http://www.dol.gov/dol/topic/discrimination/immdisc.htm)
Equal Employment Opportunity applies only to applicants who are eligible to apply for that job. It does NOT apply to immigrant visa allocation (aka I-485 approval).
If you don't agree with this, I would suggest spending $200 with an attorney to get initial consultation and get the answer to enlighten yourself.

Thank you for that info. I was not visiting the forums regularly then, and the only time I saw it was when IV core was already supporting it and encouraging everyone to do it. I have seen many great ideas on the forums.
Flower campaign wasnt started by iv (atleast not by the seniors), it slowly gathered momentum on its own and produced results. After seeing this bulletin I ve lost hope in all this lobbying and stuff. We need publicity and more of it. Fasting for a day if organized by iv could bring more results.

This is so confusing. But I-129 does have a section to identifying new vs. continuing employer. Isn't moving to a new employer automatically means that new paycheck MUST come from new employer regardless of whether existing employer has canceled the H1B or not. If you don't intend to work for new employer they MUST cancel the H1-B or you should request them to cancel it ? Otherwise it will bound to generate the confusion that's apparent from the I/O looking at your petition.
I am thinking it can be interpreted either way, but nothing in the laws says one way or the other. It is all up to I/O's interpretation.
IMHO: Right think would have be:
1. Employer-X Files new H1
2. Employer-2 Withdraws existing H1
3. You changed your mind
4. Employer X Withdraws H1
5. Employer 2 Files a NEW H1

the funnies thing is that NSC update for Nov 20 is just found on Immigration.com and no where else .....SO whats the reliability of that document ?
If my attorney is to be believed, USCIS will clarify on Wednesday regarding whether/how to file without receipt notice.
BTW turns out I'm with Nebraska SC too. I had just assumed I would be in TX given that I live in TX! :D

The problem is, that for all my efforts, people just don't seem to care. The only reason I had any success was the embarrassment I caused the government because of all the soldiers who were excluded. Immigrants in the US are viewed by most people as an unwanted scourge.
My employer has also been no help at all. I have been looking for work outside of the US, but unfortunately, the economic situation makes that a bit more challenging. Sorry if I sound pessimistic. That is just my personal experience.
I agree but that should not keep us away from trying. If it were not for HOPE then a lot of things would not have worked for people including the newly elected president.
I understand the frustration but at least we can use the same info and make it available to the relevant authorities. I think we will not loose anything as like last time we will be dropped again.
I am willing to contribute sometime to it. Any one else interested?
