Thanks for your reply
What if the case is where I want to take up a new full time position and convert my current full time position to part time.....I guess one way to do it would be to transfer H1 to the new employer...wait for an approval and then file for another concurrent H1 for the part time job with the old company..But the problem is I'd have to wait until new approval comes...and also convince both companies to shell out 2k plus in filing fees....does any one have a better alternative ? Thanks again

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
Elin Nordegren broke her silence (http://sports.yahoo.com/golf/blog/devil_ball_golf/post/Elin-Nordegren-on-Tiger-Woods-I-ve-been-throug?urn=golf-265021)today and gave her side of the story today telling the world how shocked and embarrassed she was by Tiger's infidelity. She also defended the marriage, saying that the marriage was real, not orchestrated for the cameras and sponsors.
In our practice at Fong & Chun, LLP, we have seen many marriages, like Elin and Tiger's which were entered into for love, completely genuine marriages and yet within years (sometimes a lot sooner), the marriage goes awry. For those immigrants whose conditional greencards were based on marriages to US citizens, these men and women find themselves in a situation like Elin, telling their stories to the USCIS, actually defending themselves from deportation, that even though their marriage didn't survive the test of time, it was not a marriage of convenience for immigration purposes.
If a marriage fails anytime before someone naturalizes, a person who immigrated through marriage will later be summoned by the USCIS for an intense and very uncomfortable interview in order to maintain their permanent residency - even at the time of applying for citizenship. Such interviews can even occur years after the marriage and divorce, so recounting the facts of a relationship and providing the documentation to verify the facts of the courtship, the wedding or civil ceremony, then detailing the timeline of marriage, separation and divorce is more than just burdensome, it's sometimes impossible. Attorneys at Fong & Chun have defended clients in such interviews, which can take several hours! Not to mention the legal briefing and the administrative review that can take months to years in the most complicated cases.
We have counseled couples and immigrants who face this difficult situation, sometimes their marriages have ended because they had to escape physical or emotional abuse, other times, the marriage failed because of infidelity or even financial distress. If you need help telling your side of the story to USCIS, call the attorneys at Fong & Chun, LLP for a free consultation. Maybe we can help. --ecf

I just e-filed my EAD application. Unfortunately, right after I made the payment thorugh Credit Card and it generated the PDF receipt, I noticed that my country of Citizenship/Nationality is entered as USA, instead of INDIA. Everything else on the form is correct.
Can anyone advise how to correct this error? I haven't send any supporting documentation. Should I just highlight this in my cover letter when I send the supporting documentation? Or call up USCIS Customer Service and they can correct that maybe?
Please advise guys,
Thanks

We have the same notice date - 10/11 but my receipt date is 7/03. And I got my EAD on 10/26. They may be starting a system to process EAD/AP by receipt date. But still...who knows what they are doing it.

Hello
I went through the same and it was fairly easy and not stressing.. you have to have copies of your passport ( the persons applying for extension and copies of the return tickets of the flights back home, you need a form : I-539 and fill it up, print it and send it with all the documentation they require, it would be advisable to have a sponsor or a person who certifies that will be financially in care of her expenses. ( forgot the form number but i think is I-139 ..please check ) and once you got all those requirements send them with 300 $ that costs the application process and in less then 4 weeks you will get a letter with either the aproval or the denial of the stay. If your I-94 expires while you wait for the form do not worry cause you are not going into illegal state while the USICIS is processing your application. GOOD LUCK !! and enjoy your ceremony !!

Did I get your attention? If you're under 18, you may only scroll down for the first three pictures... ;)
Anyway, on Thursday I got a Nikon 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 AF-S zoom and Tamron 90mm f/2.8 macro from KEH, as well as a Hoya polarizer in 67mm from B&H for the zoom (really wanted an IR filter, but the polarizer would be more useful most of the time). I also got an Epson R200, but that's a story for another time. Since the best part of digital photography is sharing pictures, I thought I'd do just that... :D

Most probably today is History of legal immigration, tomorrow is family based immigration and Thursday they will talk about employment based immigration.

As such, there is no grace period and it starts counting towards unauthorized stay (US is somewhat liberal for unauthorized stay for up to 180 days). It should be fine getting H1B transferred ASAP.
After 180 day, reentry can be banned for three years. After 1 years reentry can be banned for 10 years.

I think your employer should cooperate with you by not withdrawing your I-140.
Are you sure that if the employer is not revoking 140, (but they will cancel h1b ) i can join some other employer after receiving EAD but 485 < 180 days

I got my receipts last weekend
It was some what similar story for me.
I my case my wife's app and mine got separated-
Mine got rejected on grounds of incorrect fees (there was a single check)
my wifes app turned up after a month or so
we refiled and got the receipts
I am now trying to find out what to expect for EAD and AP
I wonder if special handling cases get a better turnaround
Keep me posted with what happens with you- and maybe we can start to geta n ide as to what to expect next

I don't have a lawyer. I will do the correction myself when I get the receipt.
Good luck to you.
I am in the same boat as u r in.....I made a typo on I-485 and want to send a letter....On form 485 for the question "In what status u last entered" I entered H-1B when it should really be F-1.....After sending them the letter, do u know if we'll get a confirmation saying that our request has been approved?

That remains to be seen. Congress cannot act in a mere speculation that there will be spierce competition between EU and US on skilled labor. US still attracts a lot of foreign skills. Increasing the number is not always seen as a solution but streamlining is or efficiency in adjudication is.
Anothe problem is that US thought it is adding more into the work force everyyear by giving out immigrant visas (EB). This is wrong because most of the applicants are already in the workforce under H1B and their dependents. What EB visas do was to retain these foreign skills by giving them permanent residence status. Therefore, EB visas are there not to add into the workforce but to maintain the current workforce.
The real visas for adding into the workforce is the H1B, which is temporary and only 65,000 per year which in a week time was used up.

The story goes some thing like this....
My labor was approved by Dallas BEC on 21st June'06 and my employer received a letter to that effect by end of June.
By July 25th my lawyer had everything else in place to file the I-140 but was yet to receive the stamped ETA forms from Dallas...so she concluded the approval was lost in mail. She sent the I-140 petition to nebraska on July 26th with a copy of the approval letter that my employer received along with a letter telling the orginal approval was lost in mail. The lawyer did finally receive the original approval in the first week of August (May be the postman took a scenic route :) ). The I-140 petition was forwarded to Texas under bi-specailization. I received an automated email from USCIS case notification that an RFE was issued on sept 1 but neither the lawyer nor my employer had received any RFE letter up until last Friday (sept 15) so I pressed her to find out more. She called the Texas service center and they told her 'The RFE was not for the employer' It was for the DOL...They sent a request to USCIS for a copy of labor approval and were waiting to hear back...
Now my questions:
1. I know you will say why not ask the lawyer to sent the approval she received in mail to USCIS and resolve the issue. I thought the same but lawyer thinks it will create additional confusion and advises we wait 4 more weeks to see if they decide on the case...if not..only then send the approved ETA forms. Do you think its a wise idea ?
2. Has any one else here gone through similar situation or know some one who did ? How long does it take for USCIS to receive a copy of labor from DOL ? Since Dallas is all electronic now..shouldn't it be as simple as forwarding a screen shot of ETA to the USCIS requesting officer ?
Since EB2 dates for India a retrogrogressed badly I am not in any particular hurry but it would be great if I can atleast get this 140 monkey off my back..Thankyou
