I have to admit that I'm a little less educated in these immigration things than a lot of others. So, some questions might be of very basic nature.
I have been with a company for almost 9 years now. It was a relatively small one (2000 people). A bigger company (20,000 people) bought that. And, an even bigger (70,000 people) one bought that !! In all this process, my H-1B and GreenCard applications have been well-cared for by the company attorneys/lawyers. My I485 was filed in July 2007 during the rush. I have EAD...it has been renewed once as well.
My PD is NOT current as of September VB.
Although I have EAD, I used my H-1B extension to enter US in 2008 as this H-1B is valid till Jun 2010.
Now, I see a possibility of getting laid-off due to the latest acquisition/merger.
In order to find a new job, I want to know what all things I should care about and/or worry about. I don't think if I get laid-off, the company will do anything nasty without talking to me or at least telling me. So, here is what I'm trying to find out :
00. Should I immediately hire a lawyer to care for my pending I485 case with USCIS ?
01. If laid-off, what documents should I ask from my company for my records ?
02. I have EAD. So, is it true that I can still live in US as long as I want/my case is in pending status even if I cannot land a job ? If not true, how much time do I have on my hands to wrap-up and leave ?
03. Do I HAVE TO find a new employer that will be willing to support my I485 case ? If so, what all things the new employer will need to do ? Or, can I join a company that is may not be willing to support a foreign national's GC process and handle the case myself ?
04. Is it ABSOLUTELY necessary to find a job that identical to what job I'm currenytly doing and my LC was certified for ?
05. If and when laid-off, can I do part-time jobs that are related to the field of my epertise but not same in nature as in my LC. For example : If I'm a Java programmer, can I teach at a training institute couple hours a day, 3-days a week ?
Any response will be very much appreciated...
Thanks&Regards

Thank you pal. Is it safe for her to apply for H4 while in India? or is better she apply after coming here? She wants to apply for H4 after coming to usa.
Applying for H4 while being in India might be the easiest. She can still continue her studies on H4, if she wants.

The backlog is so huge that there is no "light" at the end of the tunnel
FB immigration is capped at 480K and EB immigration at 140K. Both are backlogged.. the ratio of cases is also perhaps 3:1 or 4:1, so the bulk of those pendng 485s are likely to be family based. the EB I-485 cases are probably somewhere around 250k of that 750k...
Also, what is a backlogged case? USCIS has been changing the definition as they see fit. At one point cases that were pending FBI namecheck were not counted in backlogs!

I am on H-1 B , and planning to apply for Labor certification - working for an Automobile manufacturing Company in Engineering department,my qualifications are Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering-SOC CODE (17-2141), Masters in Industrial Engineering SOC CODE(17-2112).
Just want to ask can i use Commercial & Industrial designer SOC CODE(27-1021), as base cause for using this code is my current job responsibilities matches with it and also meeting Salary requirements, other two codes giving high salaries comparing this code - (flc data center),
By law do i have to use the same code in which my bachelor or master degree is OR it depends on my current job responsibility
. help will be appreciated
As far as I understand, your degree is not the only criteria to decide the SOC code for labor certification. SOC code depends on the combination of your education qualification and your experience in the relevant field. Every job has a minimum qualification. But the minimum education qualification doesn't describe the SOC code. If you meet the minimum education qualification, you could apply for that job, but then one has to meet the required experience required for the job. I guess the combination of experience in the relevant field and the minimum education qualification together weigh in to decide the SOC code. If your employer and your lawyer feel comfortable with Commercial & Industrial designer SOC CODE(27-1021), then it is Commercial & Industrial designer SOC CODE(27-1021). ;)
All the Best!

On behalf of core group, I apologize to you and your wife for the abusive language that someone used.
We tried to moderate the forum posts. At any time, there are nearly 200-300 people reading the forums and nearly 20-25 posting. Its a tough thing to moderate every thread since we do this along with day-to-day fulltime jobs.
I have to close this thread otherwise this thread will spiral into a thread war that none of us want. And we cannot have such threads continue as its embarrassing for us all.
If you'd like, you can email me jay@immigrationvoice.org if you want to talk about this issue so that I can explain more.
Thanks for understanding.

The only impact will be that you will lose your earlier PD (if 140 gets approved).......Also, it could cause you issues with H1 extensions if you are in 6th year of your H1 and are re-starting the GC process....Note that your LC/I-140 must be filed or should be pending for 365 days or your I-140 must be approved in order to get H1 extensions beyond the 6 year term....

You DO NEED an LCA with a new job location.
It is a fast online process. I seriously recommend that you do it.

The Job description that my employer used in LC a little different than my actual skills - i mean say the LC job desc is "Java-Jsp-Servlets -XML" and my actual desc is "Oracle - Datawarehouse - XML "
Do you think USCIS with reject my case because i changed my Employer ????
Thanks
My friend used AC21. He switched jobs after 6 months of filing for 485. He had a query on his 485 seeking experience letters for previous and current employment. He filed those and his 485 approved.

I totally agree with you. I hope date will move fast now since there is not enough people in 2002-2003. I hope this will be same for India and china too. Let`s hope for the best.
Nice poll. Can we have some modification as India and China has much difference in retrogression.

Short version: If GC is applied and it is close to 300 days only (and not mandatory 365), is it possible to get further H1B extensions after reaching maximum limit? If so, how?
I am in a unique situation. Here's my long story.
I have been on H1B since I landed in USA. My current H1B expires on 04/15/2012.
That would be close to 12 years on H1B. I know, very long.
After my first 6 years on H1B, I received further extensions based on my pending Green card application and approved I-140.
My most recent/current H1B extension was received with a different company, and I would like to stick with this one for a long time. The 3-year extension received in April 2009 was based on previous I-140.
The problem is, due to certain circumstances which are beyond my control, there is a possibility that the previous GC application and I-140 could be revoked. And this revocation could happen very soon.
Considering that I can get my further H1B extensions only with my current company's new green card application, I have very limited time now. Assuming the process gets completed only in the next 60-90 days, I will have only 300 days before my H1B expires.
I understand that to get H1B extension after maximum limit of 6 years ( in my case longer), the applied GC application should be older than 365 days.
Is there a legal way to extend my H1B next year under these circumstances? If so how?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
My 6 years on H1B is going to expire in Oct 10. I want to file for extension but the lawyer says that i can do it only after Mar 10 that is 6 months before h1b expires.
----You can apply after Mar 10.
I have to visit my home country in May 10 and i wanted to go with my new h1b documents.
---If you go on May 10, You can get US visa for remaining months.
----my idea is apply premium on Mar 1st.You will get it within 15 days.

Does anybody have any experience using this camera in the studio? If so, what lighting equipment are you using. The manual only says to use Canon flashes or equivalent, which aren't going to cut it. I'm not that familiar with trigger voltage (250V) and don't want to fry the thing. Any responses would be greatly appreciated. What I'm looking for is a brand of lights that would work with E-TTL. Thanks
