First of all, thanks very much Prashanthi Reddy for answering questions. Could you help me out with this.
I have I-140 approved with more than 180 days with I-485 pending.
I still have valid H1.
Can someone be with their sponsoring employer on H1 and start business on EAD part time.

Hello IVans,
According to Attorney Murthy on June 27, 2008,
"It is hoped that, as the USCIS works through the numerous pending I-140 petitions, premium processing will resume on a more widespread basis"
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_pp4140.html
I strongly feel that AILA and their associates are pretty good at predicting the policy changes within USCIS / DOL. In my observation, such statements by leading immigration Attorneys have resulted in near future procedural / policy changes. I consider this as an hint to all GC seekers to brace for I140 PP across the board, not just for people on the H1B brink.
Does anyone feel the same? any thoughts?
I did not believe it at that time (July). However, looking at the flow of approvals from even NSC (they processed my case filed in April 2008); I now believe that I 140 premium processing will resume soon (in next couple of months).
I am not sure how will they phase it in; may be first for all new filings and/or for people with current PD and then more widespread (hopefully based on PD).
TSC has been processing 2008 cases since past 3 months and NSC is doing so for at least a month now (they seem to have processed July/Aug cases for the past 10 months). Also, the first couple of quarters will be slow as far as I 485 processing goes...so they can probably concetrate on I 140s and resume flow of MONEY :p

Hello,
An approved H1-B petition is an approval for you to undertake employment within US, while a H1-B stamp is to allow you to knock on the US door (PoE) where an IO will decide whether to let you in or not.
There is no requirement that states that legally you must be working continuously within US if you are on H1-B (if anyone knows otherwise, he/she should post the appropriate link).
In short, you should not have any issue at all. The IO will ask why you were out of US and you can tell him/her that you were out 'cause you were consulting from India and not working in US for the past year. You should keep the new offer letter with you to prove to the IO that you have a new job within US now and that's why you want to enter the country.
Do consult a lawyer, but IMHO, you should be fine as a fiddle! :)

We have a company lawyer. Only thing I have is 485 receipts, FP notice, EAD and AP.
Nothing has been shared with us till I-140 approval.
Upon my demands, all I got is my I-140 application number. My HR dept has a strict position that I-140 & LC are employer documents and it will NOT BE Shared with employees.
I still doubt that USCIS will expect me to have these documents.
Any ideas How can I know job description? Can I call USCIS? dont' think they will entertain?
I am about to file for H1B extension. Is there anything here that can give me some idea about job description? I guess H1B and LCA job description should be same. isn't it???
One way to find out is, when you filled in your labor application (before PERM). Your attorney, just before filing for labor should have send you some papers to sign and fax it or mail it through post.
There either you or your attorney shold have filled in job descriptions and job details (this should be the latest experience you had before filing the labor).
One more way to find out, while filling in your I 140 petition if your attorney has send you documents to verify. Then you would find Job title specified in there.
After you filed for labor and and if you have specified your address in labor, then a copy of certified labor goes to that address ( I have received one, it said a copy of the certified labor has been CC'd to Employer and attorney)
To my knowledge that would be your best bet to find out job description and job title with out having labor cert in hand as I 140 approval does not say any thing.
Good luck.

From my experience, if you file EAD/AP by yourself, all communications regarding EAD/AP will go to you. No need to file G-28. If you want all I-485 communication rerouted to you, you need to file G-28 and put yourself as a representative.
I could not find age restriction for EAD, you may try to file. However there are legal restrictions on child labor in US so I really doubt they will issue EAD for a minor (under 14 years). My friend cound not get EAD for 12 year old.

Good to hear there is a serious attempt being made. However, in light of what is happening with comprehensive healthcare reform, is it advisable to try comprehensive immigration reform especially with the congressional make of of the 2 chambers?

Dear All,
I had earlier submitted my paperwork for I-140 and I-485 concurrently via my lawyers during August 2007. On April 16th this year, I received email notification from USCIS that my I-140 had been denied, and that a letter describing this (with the reasons for denial and options available) was in the mail. That letter has yet to be received (it was probably mailed to the lawyers directly), but in the meantime, I would greatly appreciate your advice on this subject and a response to the following points, so I may plan the necessary action to defend my position:
a) I fully intend to appeal, but have been told that the success rate of such appeals is very low, in the 5-10% range. Would this be accurate?
b) Regrettably, my H1-B expired on January 24th, 2009. I should never have take the advice I did, but as a result, I now only hold an EAD and AP document, with EAD valid until Oct 2010 and the AP valid until Oct 2009.
c) Since my H1-B has expired, would denial of my I-140 automatically cancel my I-485 application? In such an event, am I allowed to stay in the country for the duration of my EAD and/or AP, and work for the same employer?
d) If I am not allowed to stay using my EAD/AP, would it help to re-apply for a new H1-B under premium processing? If necessary, I can even apply under a different company from my present employer (a wholly-owned subsidiary, also based in the US).
e) Another issue that may complicate this is the fact that I have already travelled once this year using my AP (after the H1-B expired), and this has been stamped on entry. Would this pose a problem with any new H1-B application?
I would really appreciate your taking the trouble to respond to the above queries, together with any advice you might have for someone in my position. Many thanks for your help.
Best Regards

I just booked tickets for an emergency 1 week trip to India and 30 mins later got a CRIS email
---------------------------
We reopened this I129 PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER on August 28, 2009, and are now reviewing our earlier decision. We also mailed you a notice describing the next steps in the process. Please follow any instructions on this notice. Our review should be completed within 30 days. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service
-------------------------------
Most likely my company revoked H1. Until this email came I was confident I could travel without worries of 485 getting touched/denied when I was in India.(I am planning to reenter using AP).
I currently have found a similar job but havent filed AC21 papers yet. I am now hesitating to travel as something happens to my 485 when I am out of the country there is not much that can be done.
So with
a) H1 Revoked aug 28th
b) Address changed
c) AC21 not filed
I am thinking of not travelling. Am I overreacting here ?

My attorney filed my 485 AOS on July 11 and USCIS received it on July 12 (Texas Service Center).
Per my attorney all of the July applicants received their receipts except mine. I asked her to see if the check has been cashed and she is unable to confirm that. They think that they might have forgot to include a check (nost sure though). If thats the case, assuming my application gets rejected. Will I be able to refile with my PD not being correct.
What are my options. Please help. Thanks.

You will have to include Medical (if you dont have time send it after you receive the RFE). Take sometime to search for HOW TO SKIP MAIL ROOM, many people have done that during July 2007 fiasco.
We got a rejection notice for my wife's 485 & 765 application. The notice said
============
"Based on the information you provided, your priority date could not be established. Please resubmit you application with the proper documentation to the address listed on the bottom of this notice
The following documents may be provided:
Your original Form I-130(petition for alien relative) if you are filing concurrently ; or
Your original Form I-360 if you are filing concurrently; or
A copy of your Form I-797 if the petition has already beed filed/approved; or
Other evidence that an immigration visa petition has been filed/approved on your behalf.
==============
My PD is Mar 2005, EB2 and my 485 is pending since aug 2007.
We have included following documentation in the package
1) Forms 485 ,765 , G 325 A
2) passport copy
3) Birth certificate and affidavits
4) My 485 receipt notice
5) My I 140 approval
6) Letter from the employer saying that i am still employed with them
7) Pay stubs
Does anyone know what have we missed? I dont think I -130 and I -360 are relevant for this category.
