I used my 485 EAD, which I received when I filed my 485 with my spouse. And now I want my employer to apply H-1B for me. I am wondering if I can apply change of status to H-1B within US or I have to apply H-1B petition, which requires me to get out of US and get the visa at some US consulate or embassy.
I'd really appreciate any info.
Thanks a lot.

look at the vfs website (you will get a link to it from consulate website). They have specified some particular HDFC branches in metros, where you can deposit the fee to get the receipt.

Hello All,
I have a few questions for the group. I have an approved labor and I-140 in EB3 category with a 2005 priority date. My 7th year H1 expires on May 11 2007 and my company has already filed for my 3 year H1 extension based on my approved I-140 which will be valid from May 2007 to May 2010. My questions are the following:
1) Can I change my employer and keep my 2005 priority date if the new employer also agrees to file a fresh PERM app and I-140 for me?
2) If I qualify for EB2 category, can my new employer file for I-140 in EB2 category and still maintain the old priority date?
3) Since my current visa is valid till May 11 2007 and new visa will be valid from May 12 2007, can i start work for a new employer in April 2007 based on my new 3 year H1 or do I have to wait till May 2007 to start work on the new visa?
Any help will be greatly appreciaited.
Thanks

Hi, I have a question.
1. My colleague crossed 2 years after filing 485. Frustrated with GC processes, he is switching company for better career prospects. He is using his EAD and invoking AC21. Is it possible for me to use his labor? If no, why?
You can not get two chicken from one egg. One LC can produce one GC only.

Hi,
I'm on L1B and wife on L2B with EAD and currently working. Both are expiring on Dec 30,2010. I got my H1 with COS, which is effective from Oct 01,2010 for 1 year and my wife got H4, effective from same time. My wife's company is filing for H1 for her and has already applied for LCA. After the LCA, they are not sure whether to apply for COS from L2 to H1 before Oct 1st or if they want to wait till Oct 1st and then file for new H1 with COS from H4 to H1. In the second case, she will not be able to work till she gets her H1.
Also if they file for H1 before Oct 1st with L2 to H1 COS, and if she gets RFE, then not sure whether the whole application is invalid as my wife's status would have changed from L2 to H4 during the course.
Please advice my options. Is it OK if her company file for new H1 with COS from L2 to H1 as soon as her LCA get approved with premium processing? Is it going to be a problem if she gets RFE?
Or is it adviseable to continue to be on L1/L2 till she gets H1? If yes, how can I change my status back to L1 before Oct 1st 2010? Can my company do it me? How long the process will take? I also heard that if I go abroad and come back, I will continue to be on L1. In that case should my wife acccompany me? Do I have to go out and re enter before Oct 1st?
If I change my status back to L1, what will happen to my H1? Will it still be valid? If I'm planning to change to a different company, can it be just transferred to that company and I can work there?
Please help.
Thanks

Guys as the administrator (pappu) pointed out... we really need to be short and sweet and to the point... mixing issues will only create confusion and we will all look unorganized...
***admin's I used your template but tried to add some more personal touch to express what we all are dealing with, hope it's ok:
When you call stick to something as simple as:
My name is ____ and I am calling from [city], in the state of [State]. I am a member of a group called Immigration Voice – that represents LEGAL skilled immigrants.
I've been patiently waiting for ___ Years for my green card now, I came here legally and have always followed all laws of this land... I'm really disappointed and disheartened by what I see and read about the immigration reform bill.
All I ask is... (discuss all 3 issues or even 1 that you think will keep it simple and get your point across)
1) INCREASE the number of EMPLOYMENT-BASED green cards for LEGAL skilled immigrants who are currently backlogged. We request the Senate to ELIMINATE the backlogs BEFORE starting a new merits based system.
2) Urge the Senator to AMEND section 501(b) and INCREASE the number of EMPLOYMENT-BASED green cards for LEGAL skilled immigrants from 140,000 to a higher number to ELIMINATE the current backlogs, the SAME way the bill REDUCES backlogs for family-based immigrants in section 501(a).
3) Oppose the senate’s immigration bill in its current form because it reduces the number of green cards for legal skilled immigrants. It diverts these green cards to the proposed future guest worker program and to a proposed untested merits based system.

I came in US with my family when I was 15-16, back then we were on L2, then as time passed by we switched to H4. Then I turned 21 so I had to go on Student Visa (F1). Still living in US legally.
Now my question is I've been staying in US over 10 years now, legally. I dont know if its rumor or not, but someone told me, that you can apply for Green Card if you lived in US over 10 years legally, is that true?
Going through all that H1B process sounds really hectic. Also all my family members, friends and relatives are here, I don't know anyone back in my birthplace. any suggestions or tips, would help a bit.
thanks :)

Hello all,
First some background:
I purchased a house this September and my apartment lease expires end of Sept. So I am basically living at both places and moving slowly. Anyway my USPS mail forwarding starts from 9/21.
As far as immigration and change of address goes, based on my lawyers advise...I filled out the online AR-11 change of address and also updated address change for my 485/ap/ead ( I am a july 2nd candidate) pending cases as well. However, after downloading the pdf version of the AR-11 I realized I misspell "Lane" to "Land." Don't know if this is a huge problem. Anyway can I re-file the AR-11 and change of address for all the pending petitions again for myself and my spouse? Does anyone have any thoughts or could share their experience? I read somewhere its also a good idea to update address with local office by getting info pass appointment? Any comments/ thoughts?
Also, in the AR-11 form I didn't provide email address, is that a big deal?
I also read somewhere that its a good idea to print out the ar-11 and mail it as well? Any thoughts?
Also, is the change of address instantaneous in uscis's system? Since I submitted my request today and I might do it again tomorrow (based on the response I get from this forum), and if USCIS happens to mail FP/EAD/AP (hypothetically speaking ) say next monday, will they mail to my old address or the new one? Just curious.
I am kind of worried at a time like this and was hoping someone could share their thoughts and concerns.
Thank you,

Hi,
We will be travelling to India and are looking to book Visa appointment. In Mumbai only first week of december is available. As we have to mail the documents, first week of december is not an option for us.
Has the Mumbai consulate opened the dates for December 2nd week and further or has the appointments been booked?

Given the fact that we have a sum total of all Applications in the system :
We should have a pretty good idea soon how the PD would stand.
We should be able to fill in a quick poll to see how the numbers get split up with our members to get a rough idea of the % age wait. The goal is, most folks now are aware of IV and atleast visit IV frequently. They should be able to add 1 unit to the count, so we have a rough idea of the wait times to calculate to understand realistically How long to wait for the GC Visa # allotment.
We have waited long enough on BEC

H1-B Extension after 6 years.
Is it mandatory that I have to work at the employer who is processing my GC to get the extension on H1-B beyond 6 years?
I have changed my employment after I-140 approved. But the previous employer agreed to continue the GC process. I could not file 485 due to PD is not current.
The 6 yrs limit on H1 is about to be over.
Is it possible to extend H1-B after 6 yrs at the new employer, based on the I-140 approved by previous employer as green card is process? Or is it mandatory that I have to work at the employer who is processing my GC to get the extension on H1-B beyond 6 years?
Thanks in advance
Venkat
In order to extend H1B beyond six years, you do not require to be with the GC sponsoring employer. One must have filed a labor 365 days before 6th year end date. 1 or 3 years extension is based on what stage of GC processing you are in. Hope this helps!

U.N. Begins Meeting to Discuss Atlanta Labor Certification, Work Conditions in Cambodia
BSNewswire.com
The International Labor Organization (ILO) of the U.N. kicked off a four-day regional meeting in Stockholm Tuesday aimed at improving working conditions worldwide.
"Atlanta Labor Certification (ALC) and the situation in Cambodia remain the most pressing issues we are facing today," Swedish Labor Minister Nils Freivalds, the meeting's chairman, told participants. The participants are expected to endorse The “Missing Application Statue”, a memorial aims at educating the public worldwide about the Atlanta LC tragedy of August 07, when hundreds of thousands of applicants and their families were practically prohibited from applying to permanent residency and gaining labor portability. Those victims might have to wait for several years to get another chance. Atlanta shelved their LC applications for times ranging from 2 months to 2 years while the LC applicants at Chicago where getting results in 2-8 days.
“This statue is created to remind us of what has happened and what could occur if we forget the past. May the tens of thousands of applicants in Atlanta and their families always have a place in our hearts. And may their suffering not be in vain.” said Freivals.
This is the second time a UN agency interfere in an issue related to Atlanta Labor Certification. The first time was in May 2007 when the General Assembly voted to prevent the usage of the term “Atlanta Processing” referring to extremely slow and inefficient systems. The term was considered very cruel and inconsiderate toward the victims and their families.
