When I got laid off, my lawyer at the time told me that technically you are out of status as soon as you leave payroll. There was no such thing as a "grace period". I was advised to change my visa status to B2 (I think it was that) with immediate effect, if I could not find a new job within 2 weeks to complete an H1B "transfer". It isn't exactly a transfer of the visa, but what you would do normally when you are changing employers whilst on H1 B. I was told that the "maintaining status" was verified by payroll dates, so within the 2 weeks (I was paid bi-monthly) would be safest

To be brief:
Any location restrictions when using AC21?
I�ve been laid off as of Friday last week.
My employer started laying off people an year ago and there were too many cycles so far. I was immune to all those layoffs until Friday. They eliminated everybody in my team, 15 people in total.
I am in the final stage of my GC and I have 2 year EAD. My H1 is expiring in March and my (ex) employer already paid my Attorney for the 3 year extension. They have decided to extend my H1 and paid for the expenses. But in the mean time, they were forced by the investors to show profitability and hence the layoffs.
My (ex) employer is based in Massachusetts and my Labor Certification was done from this location.
I have received job offers from some of my employer�s clients. However, they are based in other States (CO, OH & WA for instance) and they might not be able to do my H1. One of them is interested in hiring me on a contract basis, since they had frozen new hiring.
Is taking a job outside of Massachusetts impact my pending I-485? or Will it violate my Labor Certification conditions? I couldn�t find an answer for this anywhere.
Also, can I take contract jobs for the time being?
I sent out an email to my Attorney with all these questions. But, he is not available until Tuesday next week.
Please post your answers, comments and suggestions.
Thanks!

Thanks for that info.
I am planing for Info pass next week if I dont get notice by then.
How can they issue EAD and AP approvals a day before for same 485 - What a crazy system ?
Thanks again

Yes, USCIS works on a weekend if they need money, not when you need them.

My wife moved from H4 to H1 in June 2007 and obtained her SSN at the same time. We used her new SSN to file our returns in March this year. However, no sign of the stimulus package yet. Wonder how is our case being considered. Thoughts?

Admin,
How many members are currently registered on IV?
Is there a way we can reach out to them (private message/email ) to make them aware of this cause?
I can take up the initiative of sending emails requesting donations to a few if necessary.

Of course. In fact this type of career change is required if you want to port a PD (EB3->EB2) while using experience gained with the same employer to qualify for the job.
What if one changes employer? Can this be done in that case as well?

What was said at on BusinessWeek was just the old story again;just one side of the story. The truth is that you are setting yourself for disappointment if you expect this to turn into reality. Just relax, contribute to IV and save the rest of your money. Keep your expectations low, folks and we will get there.
Based on last week's BusinessWeek article, I have a feeling that we will see an effort to restrict initial H1B applications in some way. That would be a good opportunity to push for allowing naturalization applications for people who have been on work visas for a long time (say 8-10 yrs?). Fighting for citizenship would have a stronger emotional dimension and may connect better with the American public. A direct filing for citizenship will work around retrogression by providing an avenue for people to move out of the GC queue.

Hi all,
This discussion is very valuble for people like me deciding between living in Canada as PR vs H1B USA .We all know that salaries in USA are slightly better than Canada .But now the exchange rate is almost equal.
Salary:
Can a person with family(2 kids) survive in Canada with CAD 50,000 / year salary in a place like Toronto.? I heard in Canada you pay 13 % tax on anything you buy .Does 50 % of your income goes in taxes ?
HealthCare:
Also is the government sponsored health care good compared to USA .I mean do you have any wait to see specialists.Is healthcare comparable to USA .
Immigration:
In USA anyone can get a Greencard regardless of their qualifications and it depends how early you enter the GC queue.But looks like in Canada they value your educations and other qualifications.Can IT professionals (non-managers) apply for Canada PR without a job or canadian education?
Canadian Citizenship:
Many people want to get Canadian citizenship and return to USA with TN Visa .In future ,could USA put restrictions on this .?
Please share your thoughts .
Thankyou

AC 21 and EAD are two completely disjoint things.
You can invoke AC 21 and switch to a different job and you could either use your EAD to join the new emplyer or even transfer your h1b to the new employer.

" WILL NOT REDUCE BACKLOGS"
" MORE OVER WAIT AND WATCH SAYS IT JUST LIES ON THE TABLE"
Reallocation of Immigrant Visa Numbers
Immigrant visa quotas would be substantially realigned under S. 1348. Our current law provides for a baseline annual quota of 140,000 immigrant visas for foreign nationals immigrating on the basis of employment. In the past several years, a backlog has developed in several employment-based immigrant categories, with multiyear waits for some prospective immigrant workers. The Senate bill would, in the first five years after enactment, increase the quota for merit-based and employment-based cases, in part to address existing backlogs. An estimated 247,000 numbers would be available for work-related immigration. Beginning in the sixth fiscal year after enactment, however, the quota would drop to 140,000 numbers per year. This level would remain in place for at least two years, until approximately the eighth year after enactment, when the quota would rise to a baseline of 380,000 per year, with additional numbers made available for previously undocumented immigrants who become eligible to apply for permanent residence.
The bill would also realign quotas for family-sponsored immigrants. Visa quotas for family-based immigration are currently set at a baseline of 480,000 per year and are subject to very lengthy backlogs, ranging from five to upwards of 20 years for some family categories. The Senate bill would initially increase visa numbers by more than 100,000 per year in order to reduce the family backlog; however, after the conclusion of backlog reduction efforts, the family-based quota would fall to 127,000 per year.

Wikipedia understands situation better than some of the lawmakers.
That is why we need to educate lawmakers, instead of letting hate groups like FAIR influence them with lies.

knowDOL, could you please tell me what comes after the Labor cert. until the Employment Authorization (that will let me work)? Thanks.
I know nothing about the law, but as far as I know today the democrats are trying to pass a bill in which the people living illegaly for over 2 years can apply for temporary working visa that will let their spouses work (nothing wrong with that, just the exclusion of the H-4s as spouses of temporary workers which are the only ones not allowed to work). If they do not get 60 votes today, it passes tomorrow to a compromised bill that it says that if you came to US before Jan 1, 2001 you can apply for the work permit, and the green card later and then the citizenship. If you came between 2001 and 2003 you have to go back and get a work permit and come back, and if you came after 2004 no special treatment. since nobody has included in the ammended bills the H-4s it cannot be discussed tomorrow, but I do not know what is the procedure to get a bill considered and debated, there is a bill that considers the H-4s right to work and it is called TALENT "Through the Advancement of Legal and Educated New Talent.” but who knows if it will get considered.
May be the people from immigrationvoice can let us know what is the procedude to get the H-4s work authorization considered, thanks.
