I would suggest rather than remaining unemployed use AC21 and work for someone else since the GC is for future position and your company is willing to take care of the process and respond in case there is an RFE. When the time is right ( that is your present company has a job ) move back to your original company.
Being jobless in the current enviroment might not be a good idea. Gaps in employment are not good for several reasons but you can decide best.

Right now, we are on AOS, but we faced something similar couple of years back when we were still on h1b visas - it was not this bad, and we managed the situation within an hour.
It was at a post near lake George in NY, me and my wife were vacationing on a weekend and while driving back, the bordor officers asked us proof of our legality. We had driver lisences but they claimed it was not enough and they need to see the visa and i 94. It was our good day that most of the officers were friendly and cooperative except for one lady - she was extremely rude - she took our licenses and kept it in the pocket.
Then they started looking us up on their computers they verified my wife's h1 but as I already done like 4 h1 transfers their system showed only my first h1. I was surprised when they said "Our system may not be showing the right thing because your drivers license does show your status and expiry but not our system" then they looked up via different queries - through employers list etc... and finally found my entire trail of h1b transfers with employers.
They advised that we carry passports and legal documents wherever we go and let us go. It is a fact that we are supposed to carry our proof of legal documents.
If such things are happening - there needs to be a way to fix such issues.
We need to request from Ombudsman or any authorities like DHS or USCIS - how best to present legal documentation or what to do in such situations.

This is the chance to express our wholehearted support to IV and our community.
We are highly skilled Brave immigrants who have a face. We have been legal heere and have done nothing wrong. If we don't stand up for ourselves, anti immigrants will start dubbing us as illegals - look at the articles on the internet.
Many many silent sufferers are moving back due to immigration issues - to cover up the facts they say "American culture is not good thats why we are moving back".
If people are not interested to be here - why did 300k+ applications get filed in July?

Can someone reply to this?
I too have a simple question - Do we need to write set of checks for each applicant OR for all the applicants only one set of checks are needed?
Can it be a personal bank check?

Given the current state of Social Security, it's highly improbable that our generation will see any SS benefits even if we were to stay in this country or work here for 40 quarters. Many amongst us would soon meet the 40-quarter criteria if are allowed to stay here for another 2-3 years, imo. However, the SS issue for us is much smaller compared to the bigger issue of immigration - for those of us who do want to call this so-called land of opportunity or promised land our home long-term.

It is all politics and exploitation my friend. It is tough when we are in the cross hairs of it all. Thats all.
Most Americans don't know our plight, and fewer even care. As far as they are concerned, if they have a nice place to stay, their ipod works and they get their daily fill of entertainment and a cushhy job they are fine. When something threatens that, ie, spike in oil price, or a terror attack or something, they take notice. Otherwise the politicians and corporate masters are free to direct the ship as they wish.
Much of American history is streaked with horrible injustices, the treatment meted out to indigenous americans, the ownership/misuse/abuse etc etc of African Slaves, the wars, deals cut to establish the countrys borders etc. all of these events are steeped in horrific injustice. Even today, there is a double standard applied to foreign labour. Compared to the injustices of the past our issues are trivial at best. We are well educated, our skills valued, mobile, and have some meager financial assets/savings.
SSI benefits and the such for sure ought to be ours, but history does not dictate that the US will behave in this way. If they do infact institute a large scale guest worker plan, the amount of money would be staggering, with the looming baby boomer retirement and projected deficits, the younger generation here is unlikely to see those benefits fully far less us. Just the half million or so folks in the EB backlog mess(along with their employers would likely have put in 60-70 billion into social security/medicare. If they allow in as many foreign workers annually then send them back after 6 yrs or so, then they will end up with that amount every year. Some of the fiscal conservatives/social conservatives would see that as a wonderful idea. To hell with morality!
If we are kicked out, I would much rather see that money got to where I go, and that would be right, and efforts ought to be done to do that, but much like the rest of American history, I see it as unlikely to happen.

Political tide turning on illegal immigration
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/09/23/MNGOGLBFP31.DTL
Carolyn Lochhead, Chronicle Washington Bureau
Saturday, September 23, 2006
(09-23) 04:00 PDT Washington -- House Speaker Dennis Hastert stood before the cameras Thursday placing big red check marks on a list of nine border-enforcement bills that have passed the House -- including a 700- mile, double-layer fence ridiculed by critics all year but headed for the Senate floor next week.
At least for now, House Republican leaders have succeeded in their take-no-prisoners approach to immigration despite nationwide protests by Latinos last spring and White House warnings that they are endangering their party's future.
Refusing to compromise with the Senate and their own president to widen paths to legal entry and give the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the country now an avenue to citizenship, Hastert and other House GOP leaders have successfully framed that approach as amnesty.
The House has prevailed "because that's where the country is," said Rep. Dan Lungren, R-Gold River (Sacramento County). "This is a situation where members in both the House and the Senate have listened to the folks back home."
Critics conceded a setback but argued that it would be temporary. They said enforcement alone won't stop illegal immigration but will alienate Latino voters, the nation's fastest-growing voter bloc. They said it will turn Republicans into a minority party, much as when former Gov. Pete Wilson won re-election in 1994 on an anti-immigrant platform that ultimately helped make California a Democratic-majority state.
"There are very serious political implications to what they are doing today," said Cecilia Munoz, chief lobbyist for the National Council of La Raza. "If 40 percent of my community supported Bush in the 2004 elections, it's very hard to imagine in this environment that proportion of Latinos voting for candidates from a party which continues to insult them."
For now, however, the political tide clearly favors enforcement first, legalization later.
"Not even a year ago, if you talked about a fence, you were an extremist who wanted to wall off the United States," said Rosemary Jenks, government affairs director for Numbers USA, a group opposing immigration on population grounds. "Now the fence is a no-brainer."
By large margins, with the votes of as many as 105 Democrats, the House passed three enforcement bills Thursday. One, which was approved unanimously, outlaws building an unauthorized tunnel across the border.
The measures were plucked from a larger bill by Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., that passed the House in December and sparked widespread protests that brought millions of Latinos and their allies into the streets of major cities. That bill would have made illegal presence in the country or aiding illegal immigrants a felony -- ideas House Republicans dropped after sharp criticism.
Two other bills would allow state and local law enforcement authorities to enforce immigration laws, and a third would allow indefinite detention of illegal immigrants considered dangerous and would speed deportation of those who have committed crimes or belong to gangs.
House leaders plan to attach those measures to the homeland security spending bill.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., who with Bush and a minority of Senate Republicans supported coupling tougher enforcement with legalization, has cleared the way for Senate consideration of the fence measure next week.
Recalling the brief Senate moment in May when Republicans and Democrats joined in a comprehensive legalization and enforcement bill, Frist said the "fundamental sticking point" was what to do about the 12 million undocumented immigrants now in the country.
Frist said everyone agrees with border enforcement.
"We can't have hundreds of thousands of people running across that lower border of the United States of America," Frist said. "Let's go ahead and do what we all agree ... needs to be done, and that is to focus on securing our border."
Lungren said his conversations with GOP colleagues in the Senate lead him to believe that "they now understand the magnitude of the feeling out there that we've got to get control of our border."
He said the current legislation is "Not Pete Wilson redux ... because of the overall recognition that you've got to do something about enforcing the border."
Their majority status in danger -- in part because of their failure to control spending -- Republicans have made immigration a campaign theme for 2006, hoping that anger over illegal immigration will bring otherwise disheartened conservatives to the polls in an off-year election.
Still, national polls released this week found immigration far down on voters' concerns behind the war in Iraq, terrorism and the economy. Asked by New York Times/Bloomberg News pollsters to select their most pressing issue in the upcoming midterm elections, only 4 percent of registered voters chose immigration.
Frank Sharry, executive director of the National Immigration Forum, a pro-immigrant group, conceded that if Republicans retain their House majority, their tough stand on immigration will be given wide credit, posing a serious hurdle to the push for broader legalization.
He predicted his side eventually will prevail nonetheless.
"I'm glad it's being tested in this election because we're going to be around for a long time," Sharry said. "The population of undocumented immigrants is going to continue to grow, the political clout of the Latino community is going to continue to grow, the American people are going to continue to be frustrated, and the people building the fence are going to be held to account."
Ironically, the fence legislation coincides with the Department of Homeland Security's award of an $80 million contract to Boeing -- the first stage of a plan expected to cost much more than $2.1 billion -- to construct a "virtual fence" along all 6,000 miles of U.S. land borders, north and south. The new technology -- including sensors, ground radars and other technology in addition to physical barriers -- will begin in a 28-mile sector near Tucson, Ariz.
Asked at a briefing why additional fence legislation was necessary, Michael P. Jackson, deputy secretary of homeland security, said, "The bill is a sign of the commitment and the focus that Congress is bringing to the border."
Jackson repeatedly stressed that a fence is far from the only method the department is considering. "It would be a mistake to try to infer from that 28 miles that you now just take that and spread it across the border in some ham-handed way," Jackson said.

Hi ,
I efiled EAD on May 24th, 2010 at TSC but still have not received any approval. It's been more than 110 days now, i have opened expedite/service requests 4 times & have contacted ombudsman, congressman & senators but nothing seems to be working.
My previous ead has already expired. I am running out of ideas please suggest what else can be done. Also wondering if anybody else was/is in a similar situation.
Go to EAD Renewal thread lots of EAD slaves without jobs...

EAD helps for moonlighting or taking up part time jobs etc. apart from that if the H1 was recently extended for 3 years...and the primary has no intentions to switch employment etc. staying on the H1 is the way to go...
In my case, my spouse too has a recently approved 3 year H1, but we might go for her EAD anyways, since she certainly wants to consider some movement in employment in the near future...
I think, even if you apply for the EAD, it doesn't void your H1...you have a choice to use your EAD/AP or H1 for travel..but this certainly needs some expert advice..

Could someone please tell how much are the BCIS fee for H1B extension ? Is there any Employer training fee associated with the extension also or only with the first time H1-B filing ? If so how much is it ?
Also if you could share how much did your attorney charge for extension filing it would be really helpful. Thanks.

His visa application is pending name check verification and they handed him his passport back saying they will call him once they receive NC clearance from DOS. So he had his passport with him and his AP so was able to come back.
Even though you have AP - the passport remains with US consulate until they reach a decision - could you explain how your friend made it possible to enter US without Passport ?

You will not be able to find out if an I-140 has been filed on your behalf just by calling USCIS. You would need to have a current priority date and an approved I-140 to file the I-485. You can not just file I-485 without the knowledge of your employer.
Good Luck !

The law specifically states that AC-21 kicks in 180 days since I485 is FILED. You can not change jobs before that and count on approval.
not true. You can keep changing jobs, in fact you dont even ever have to work for your sponsoring employer. GC is all for future job.
Now, they are 2 options here. If the USCIS sends a query for a new employment offer letter, you are in trouble. At that time they will figure out you changed jobs before 180 days. The second option is that the USCIS does not send a query and then you I-485 can get approved. However, this is not legally permissible and they can figure out something was wrong when you apply for citizenship. The fact that your company did not cancel you I140 has NOTHING to do with it. Even if your company cancels 140 after 180days since I140 was filed, you are still entitled to your PD established on I140 stage. However, the 180 days after I485 is filed is hard written law and one should be Very careful when changing jobs.
Also, the fact that you changed using H1 does not make any difference.
Good luck.
the only thing he needs to worry about, is whether at that 180 day point past his 485 filing, the sponsoring employer had the INTENTION of employing him. Thats good enough. Its nice and clean if you are ALREADY employed, but even if you are not, you can argue this case in your favor since the I-140 was not revoked by the sponsoring employer. The only thing he needs to worry about is the possiblity that USCIS asks about the intention of the sponsorer to employ you and how you can convince them of that... the unrevoked I-140 is one thing. If old employer are good enough to issue you a letter to that effect (essentially an employment-offer letter) thats also good enough.
So hang on and wait to see what USCIS does. You might get through without anything. If they ask for EVL, then you can send from new employer and claim portability since now you are past 180 days.

We may talk different languages and may have differences in opinion. There is one common thread in all of us - it is the unquenchable desire to succeed, it is what took as to a far land in search of opportunity.
All most all lawmakers understand this, they also understand that sending us back home will not help another American get a job, most likely result in leaving ten other jobs with us.
We can explain our situation and how CIR can help to get us out of this mess. I don't think we need an FAQ for this, most of these people are very friendly and are willing to listen.

Interesting... Looks like I have waited for the longest time :). 8 years ... mean time did my law school again here and just this year (oct 08 quota) got the H1B after the change in law but now that the employer knows that i can start earlier on EAD wants to start with a lower pay than what was listed in H1 and does not want me to join in H1....:mad:

1.The dates in VB did not move much from Sep 06 to May 07. I did not collect pre sep 06 data.
2.140 / 485 moved very slowly inspite of no movement in VB. which means lesser people filed and theoritically it should be faster processing by NSC. Yes I did not consider other trivial processing like AP / EAD.
3. If the above holds true for June 07 and July 07, then no matter how much VB moves, the NSC / TSC processing of 485 is going to slow down once it reaches June 2007 and it is going to come to grinding halt if it reaches July 2007. This may be for years if what USCIS claims as resource shortage for such processing delays.
4. The worst news is the people who have stuck in Backlog centers. With having their PD In 2001 and 2002, they are unfairly sent to the back of the line and stuck in 485 processing for ever.
As IV, we have to raise our voice for those backlogged labor fellows and bring some justice to them. I do not know how, but at least we should try. They should not be left behind for none of their faults.
Dude these points have already been discussed in other threads....
Most of the people agree...but everybody was more interested in filing I485...rather than understanding how painful EAD/AP renewal will be going forward..

Hi,
I recently graduated from a MBA program and have found a job with a top Management consulting firm, very interested in it. But, my I-485 is still pending, nearly 3 years now(I-140 approved). Not sure what my options are, would like to use EAD/AC21, but jobs are different (am a business systems analyst in my current role).
I will also be speaking with my immigration lawyer, but would appreciate your response/advice.
Thanks!
