Thought folks might find the following interesting.
I recently returned from a visit to Canada where I stayed with my brother-in-law, who owns a small but very successful web development shop. He told me that due to the booming Canadian economy, he can no longer find experienced programmers at reasonable bill rates. So he's been doing some outsourcing to get cheap foreign labor ... hiring American programmers !
Where was that? Vancouver? Toronto?
Was it Java or LAMP or .NET stuff?

Hi, Last August 07, I have applied for 140 & 485 and have a priority date of Feb 2005. I got married in July 08. Now, I can't apply 485 for my spouse as dates are not current. My 140 got approved. I am just worried that My 485 might get approved before I could apply 485 for my spouse. And no one knows when 485 date will be current again. Any ideas? Any one is in my situation?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hello
Thanks for looking at this question:
Scenario: I was working for company A on H1 (valid until 2010) and filed a GC through a company B (Head Hunter Company) for future employment, I have my 140 approved, and 485 was filed June 2007, have an EAD/AP. Got a RFE for intent of employment was satisfied with a letter from Company B that "I intend to join company B subject to my favourable adjudiciation". Company A is going under because of lack of funds.
Questions:
Now I am searching for a job, I am getting job offers.
1) Either I will do a contract through through Company B for which I do not have to anything in terms of immigration right?
2) But if I strart working for Company C's payroll then I am going to have to do an AC21 right or can I still hang on to company B.
3) If I do AC21 through company C and if the Job description is pretty close to the description on the LC then would it be okay or do I fear rejection? Or will I be asked why I did not work for the company who filed for my GC in the first place.
Please throw some light on the best option I have.
Thanks!
You started you GC as future employement with company A. You never joined them and want to use AC-21 which will raise red flag. So you need to need to very careful.

Hi,
I am presently working on L1B for company A. This year Company B applied for H1B and same is approved received the approved letter with I-94.
Now I would like to continue in my current job with Company A till I find long project (Minimum 6 Months). My question here is can I continue in my current job after OCT 1st in my L1B Status.
If I want to continue in L1B status what should I do? As of I heard if I travel out of the states and reentered in US after OCT2nd on L1B visa I can continue with L1B status. then what happens to my H1B status? Can I directly move to H1B status when I find a project from Company B?
Please let me know how I should proceed to keep L1B and H1B status valid after OCT1st?
To keep your L alive after Oct 1st, you should travel out of country before that date and return on L on or after the 1st.
But now your H will no longer be valid. To activate it, you will have to go out, get a visa stamped and return using the new visa. Alternatively, you can also apply for a brand new H-1b as you have been counted against the cap. This new H-1b can be applied as a change of status from L.

You get SS after you cross 55 or 58 I think. How knows by then they might bring some law to stop the SS for outsiders.
There is a archive thread on this already.Read it dear h1bs.
the only reason i'm staying here is to complete the 10 years of social security payments. leaving now would be foolish. this green card business is just a carrot to get endlessly humiliated.
does anyone have any knowledge of non-citizens claiming social security in india?
as per the SS, indian citizens who have contributed >= 10 years can claim SS payments in india.

My lawyer said we can use the same non PO Box address mentioned in the EAD to send the AP documents as well. According to the lawyer you can send it all in one big envelope and demarcate the I-131 vs the I-765 or do it like I am, in 2 seperate smaller envelopes and then I am going to put the 2 envelopes in the same fedex package and mail it out.
Thanks. That's what I was thinking of doing. But then I was not sure why they haven't given the non-PO address for AP. So I was worried and decided to mail one envelope with both the EAD's to the EAD PO BOX address and then the other one with both our AP's to the AP POBox address.. I am not sure what I will do...
thanks.

ATTORNEY GENERAL HOLDER RESTORES DUE PROCESS FOR IMMIGRANTS INJURED BY INEFFECTIVE REPRESENTATION:
AILA praises decision by Attorney General to withdraw Matter of Compean.
WASHINGTON, DC*� The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) welcomes the restoration of due process in the Immigration Court system. Attorney General Eric Holder today withdrew the decision issued by former Attorney General Mukasey on the last day of the Bush Administration, which had eviscerated the right to effective representation in Immigration Court proceedings. Attorney General Holder had stated during his confirmation process that he would review the Mukasey decision and that he disagreed with its reasoning. AILA is grateful for this restoration of a basic constitutional process�Due Process, in the immigration court system.
AILA commends Attorney General Holder for living up to his word, and for his clarity of understanding of not only the constitutional principle of due process, but also for the boldness with which he acted today. �The restoration of the prior standard for claiming ineffective representation in immigration court proceedings is a welcome sign that the Obama administration understands that the rights that apply to the least of us, apply to all of us,� said Charles H. Kuck, president of AILA. �By ensuring that immigrants seeking relief from the harsh consequences of deportation are assured that they will not be punished by the ineffective actions of their counsel, Attorney General Holder has reset the standard that the Constitution ensures. Today�s action, along with the other positive signs from the Administration signal that a restoration of our most sacred principles of justice has begun.�
###The American Immigration Lawyers Association is the national association of immigration lawyers established to promote justice, advocate for fair and reasonable immigration law and policy, advance the quality of immigration and nationality law and practice, and enhance the professional development of its members.

I got RFE on my whole family’s pending I-485 applications
The REF description is “ There is a missing signature in page 4 of your application. The signature of the person who prepared your form I-485 is missing. Please have it signed by the preparer, Mr. ABC”.
I used software owned by company(Ex) to prepare these forms. And Mr. ABC is heads for immigration department in that company. I entered all the necessary info in that application and took print out for 485 form. Mr ABC details and company address printed in the 4th page of I-485 application(Part 5.Signature of person preparing form, if other than above.(sign below)) area.
Mr ABC did not put the signature there because he did not prepare the application and sent application to USCIS. My signature is there in applicant area(no problem).
We got RFE for missing preparer signature.
Now,
I contacted ex-company to get the signature on my I-485 application but he no longer working with them. Company immigration people are telling me that the signature in not required in that form.
I contacted Mr ABC for signature but I am not sure his signature is valid now on my I485 application.(because he is no longer working with them)
Finally I think the "prepared by signature" is not at all required because I entered all my information for my I-485.
I just lost ........ Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Gurus i need your help, here is my situation :
Currently I am working for company B and have not started PERM process yet from this company. But i have an approved i 140 from company A and my lawyer is saying that i can go ahead and file 485 on the basis of approved I 140 from company A. Meanwhile he will start PERM from company B and he is saying that by the time USCIS open my application of 485 and create RFE I will have I 140 approved from company B and since it's the exact same job we will be able explain USCIS about the intent of filling.
Is it ok to go ahead and file 485 becoz i will not have the employer's letter from company A and also the paystub will be from company B and not A.
Am i heading towards trouble ??? please help GURU's
thanks in advance.
What's your PD? if it's around 2002/2003 - then you will become current after Oct anyway, so you can apply with "clean" 485. Then I wouldn't bother. If your PD is 2006/2007 - then it's worth trying, it may work. At the worst case 485 will be denied, you will then file another "clean" one in that case.

It depends on the I-140 you requested USCIS to consider while you aplied for I-485. There is some process called interifling, where you can later request USCIS to use the I-140 with better priority date against the I-485 so you can avoid multiple I-485.
hello Jai_Immigration,
I am in a similar situation and was wondering if you have any idea...I had applied for my 485 using an approved I140. Last year I had another I140 applied (since the first 140 application was about to get denied) and this application is still pending at USCIS. USCIS has sent an RFE on this second application last week (which my lawyer hasn't received yet).
Do you think this second I140 application will cause any effect on my 485 application? I had used my first 140 which was approved for my 485 application.
Thanks.
