3 yr H1 extension can only be filed with an approved I-140, not a pending I-140.
Oh yes ! In that case, how about a one year extension ?

Dear Friends,
Please answer this question urgently. Currently me and my wife are in EAD working here. My wife needs to go back india for her delivery. please let us know what are the implications? Is there a problem bringing baby later to US? what visa they give to baby? What happens if my approval happens during that period(July -2002 EB3)? or do we get another finger printing notice if we can't go?
PLEASE WAITING FOR YOUR REPLY.
THANKS

I am assuming that yours and your wife's 485 is pending and both of you work on EAD. YOur wife is pregnant and needs to go back to India for delivery while you will stay in US (or may visit there for a short time 1-2 weeks). Here is what I think:
1. As far as you and your wife are concerned; there is no problem. Just make sure that your wife has a valid AP and expiry date on AP is well beyond the expected delivery date. Also if you plan to visit for 1-2 weeks or so around the time of her delivery, make sure you have valid AP as well.
If they send FP notice or something of that sort while your wife is gone; you can reschedule it giving the reason (just tell the truth). I dont think it will be a problem.
If GC gets approved while she is away or both of you are away; you still should be fine.
2. For your child: this may be a problem. I am not very sure about the rules in this regard but this is what I can tell (again this may not be 100% accurate):
- If your GC (i am assuming you are primary and your wife is dependent) is not approved till the child is born; you can always file for child's GC as "follow to join". (this may have to be CP; or if you can bring the child back to US on some form of visa it can be AOS).
- If your GC is approved before the child is born, this may be a bigger problem. I do not know about the laws on this but there is something called DREAM act that may be applicable; but basically I have no clues about this.
Good Luck with your Green Card and congratulations on having a baby.

House Immigration Subcommittee Chair Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and Former House Judiciary Committee Chair James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) have co-sponsored HR 5882, a bill that would recapture wasted green cards for the past 15 years. The bill also provides for the automatic recapturing of unused numbers in the future. The bill is a great first start to dealing with the inadequate number of green cards for skilled and professional workers in the US. The fact that James Sensenbrenner, long associated with restrictionist immigration bills, is a co-sponsor is an indication the bill has broad support.

Yes I agree its a combination of
1) FY2009 spillover that has shortened the 2004 EB2 numbers
2) Less anticipated demand from EB2 ROW due to bad economy
3) USCIS is now in a better position to predict since they have finally processes majority of July 2007 applications to accurately determine the demand.
4) Better co-ordination between USCIS & Department of State
5) Better co-ordination within USCIS itself.
Till 2008 USCIS had no clue about demand & Supply so they would have business as usual till last quarter and then if they found that there were large number of visa that were unused they would push the dates forward by 1 -2 years in order to consume them. After they went into Oct and realized there were large pending applications they would pull the dates back by 4 years so that no one calls and bothers them. But now with preadjudication they have a clear idea of how many approvable cases are piled up so there is better clarity and hope that visa bulletien will be more predictable. But then we are dealing with USCIS so anything is possible.

I forgot to mention my 140 was approved last year and I'd like to keep my H1. The new company can do H1 transfer.
Then you are in a good situation. Just wait till Feb 1st and do a H1 transfer or use your EAD to invoke AC21 and move to the new company.:)

My wife and kids went to India a couple of weeks ago and now filing for I-485 has become current. I am here on H-1 and my family on H-4. I changed a job last year so our visa, valid through end of september is through my previous employer. WIll she have to go to US consulate in India and get her H-4 visa restamped to reflect the current employer or can she enter US with the old visa. FYI. Her old visa is good for another 3 and a half month.
Any replies are appreciated. Any links to USCIS site indicating the exact rule would be excellent. Thanks in advance to those who respond.

provincial is if you are going to apply for only Quebec.
federal is everything other than Quebec. on top of it if you are applying to Quebec you need to know French very well and I believe you can port some way to federal after landing to Quebec.
I applied for federal. which one is faster it’s all depend on where you are and which embassy you are applying. If you are applying from US it takes a year ,if it’s from India it takes 5+ years and I can be wrong on processing times but it’s there on CA immigration site.
since you asked provincial vs. federal , if you are going to apply on your own (yes its easy and straight forward),I recommend you read the documents on CA immigration multiple times to understand the process so you don't miss any as some times missing little details can stall the whole processing.you can find all info here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp
Also what do you mean you cannot find software engineers,here is the NOC list,its 2173
2173 Software Engineers and Designers
Software engineers and designers research, design, evaluate, integrate and maintain software applications, technical environments, operating systems, embedded software, information warehouses and telecommunications software. They are employed in information technology consulting firms, information technology research and development firms, and information technology units throughout the private and public sectors, or they may be self-employed.
Example Titles
application architect
computer software engineer

Good luck

Updated per suggestions,
Dear President-Elect Obama,
Legal Immigrant Community in USA would like to congratulate you on your impressive campaign and win. We wish you all the best for your presidency tenure and promise to provide you our support and in many manner we can.
We would also like to take this opportunity to bring your attention to some common problems which legal immigrants are currently facing.
1. Average wait period for greencard wait is 5-15 years for Employment based categories.
2. Extreme dependency on employer because of unclear 'Same or similar job change regulations'. We cannot accept promotions, salary increases or any job title or location changes in order to not lose the status on current pending Greendcard application.
3. In this current economy, many legal immigrants are losing their jobs resulting in changing employers for which they have to go to the end of the line again and start the GC process all over again if the job title or salary is much differnet from the original one.
We understand that USA is currently facing more pressing issues at this time which need your imminent attention but few simple reliefs from your administration will make the lives of immigrants much better here. As a result, they will contribute more towards the economy, buy houses, make long term investments and establish new businesses. As a result, more jobs will remain in US which will have a posiitve impact on the consumer spending.
Suggestions for relief to immigrant community:
1. Capture wasted Green card numbers from the past due to bureacracy delays (such as pending HR5882 bill).
2. Remove Same or Similar job requirements for Green card applicants waiting for more than 1 year in their I-485( Last stage of GreenCard). They should be allowed to join any employer with any title or salary changes.
3. Allow pending I-485 applicants to join schools full time without affecting their Greencard applications.
4. Allow pending I-485 applicants waiting for more than 1 year on their last stage of greencard to establish full time businesses without losing their H1-B or pending greencard status.
Few simple changes as stated above will bring imminent relief to legal immigrant community. Many of us want to buy homes, start businesses, go to school full time but cannot do so till we become permanent residents. Wait periods are so long that we are stuck with the same employers with stalled career growth.
We expect that you will consider the above ideas and bring the change that all the people are hoping from years who are stuck in legal limbo.
Thank you
Your supporters

people on this forum have been ranting and crying for years "give me EAD give me AC21 give me job mobility".
But look what happened..........everyone has an EAD but hardly one or two changed their jobs. typical indian behavior, expected outcome.
Dear Friend "Infinite_Patience_GC",
It is my question and it was simple, how is the job market in recession (as many of us were planning to use AC21)
If you have any positive inputs, please provide else you were adviced to leave.
And you do not have any rights or authority to bash every one on this IV website and especially Indians.
You have not right to comment people from India or Indian mentality.
This is a community website and this is a thread for all other Green card issues. People share their view, ideas and positive thoughs. If you have any input that would help others is appreciated but you have no right to comment any one community or country, especially India. Please beware.
Good luck to you. And try not to comment any one.
Have a positive attitude.

Why not use EAD and AC21 while save your H1 time. If USCIS sends intent to deny for 485 then we can go back on H1 and safely do the needful.

Hi,
I am applying for my I-485 and my wife's I-485/EAD. I'm in my 3rd yr of H1 and expires may'08. My attorney suggested that applyin for EAD for me is not worth as i can use my time on H1 till oct/nov and instead of renewing H1, then apply for EAD so that i will not end up wasting my EAD time. So, We plan to apply for my EAD/AP and wife's AP sometime in nov. Am i thinking thinking right..anything wrong doing this. possible con's?

A member was recently banned. It was a client of mine who was excited that his RFE for a 3 year degree was approved. It appears that someone did not believe this was true and I was even accused of posting it at one point. You are free to ban who you like but I would have thought that you would have investigated it. The information is easily verified. This is a forum where everyone fights for truth and justice and so I was very surprised that this reader was banned without anyone looking for the truth.

Fly KLM. Holland does not need transit visa. At any cost, avoid London. They are snobs and I personally go out of my way (like paying 200 per ticket extra) to avoid British airways.
