2) can she do any thing about medical exam in India. I mean can she get a certificate from India?
They may not accept a certificate from india, medical exams has to be done by a civil surgeon in your area who is authorized to perform the tests.

Hi All, My question is similar to this question as asked by MSS (Do I need an AC21 filing?). But it's diff in few ways. Here are the details of my case:
I worked with my GC "sponser" (i.e. Ex-employer i.e. A) for exactly a year; then next employer for 4 months; then next employer for 15 months and now I am with my current employer (i.e. B) since 2006.
All this means is that in between I have changed TWO employers and currently with a 3rd employer for more than 2 years. Also it means even though my labor was filed while with employer "A" but I left them even before my labor was approved. I started working with my next employer (other than B) before my labor with A was approved, but my GC process continued with A.
fyi, I am calling my ex-employer who is sponser of GC application as "A" and my current employer as "B". In our discussions, I am not giving any name to in-between employers.
My GC dates have become current with A (It's a 2004, EB2 case).
I have not used my EAD yet with any of the employers and so does my wife. i.e. I am on H1B with current employer. Also I never filed AC21 for any of the employers.
140 approved for more than 5 months (but less than 180 days) and I-485 pending for more than 11 months.
Now here are few questions I have:
1. Do I need to file AC21 or not? and why?
2. How filing/not filing of AC21 can impact my citizenship?
3. Is my pending labor with B an issue for the dis/approval of AC21?
4. After getting GC with A how does it affect my employment/H1B with B?
5. What if I get the GC before I file the AC21?
6. Do you see any issues with portability, in general (keeping in mind that, I already left �A� and the GC is for future employment?)
Thanks much!

Hi all,
My insurance company (Progressive) is charging a ridiculously high rate for liability only insurance for my H4 spouse who currently holds a valid permit. They say the rate will go further up when she gets a perm license after passing the road test.
I have heard this issue from other H1Bs who have different insurance carriers than mine.
Have you guys found a cheaper alternative? Insurance agents etc??

Cool... surely it is not because of H1&H4. Some factors like
accident history
age
worth of car
zip code
previous claims
etc may infulance.

"Everybody is talking about the illegal immigrants, even though they broke the law," said Patel. "They are going to give them amnesty, but the high-skilled people like us, who are contributing to the U.S. economy - we are overlooked."
Good article giving us some great exposure. Just noticed the above line in the article..... I hope there is no political impact of the use of "amnesty" in the statement. I guess I am being a bit paranoid!

Sorry cant help you on the documentation piece.
But since your I-140 is filed, you should upgrade it to PREMIUM and try to get it approved asap.
Worst case scenario - if company B is not considered successor in interest to company A, you can still use the approved I-140 to carry over your PD.

My GC was started by a company A with priority date of June 2004 in EB3. 140 was approved and filed 485 in July 2007 when all gates opened. In parallel, a friend of mine started my GC processing under EB2. That has a priority date of March'2005. Current date for EB2 is Feb.2005.
I got an offer from a different company (company B), which I would like to take if I have no issues with GC etc. I am thinking what should be my plan of action. I have the following options:
1. Join company B on contract to hire on EAD that I got from company A as an employee of my friend's company. Apply 485 when EB2 becomes current for March 2005. Hopefully I will get my GC in an year and I join company B.
2. Join company B on EAD (or H1) and ask them to re-start my GC process under EB2. Issue with this is it may take a long time for my GC as PERM is taking longer nowaways.
3. Continue with my present employer and get my GC in 2020!..
Request your advice on the best course of action for me. Appreciate your help.

Hi,
I have a friend in India who applied to a new H1B through a consultant, was lucky to get through the lottery but is now stuck in RFE because of issues with the consultant. He heard from someone else that the same consultant is getting rejects and is nervous that his case will get rejected too.
I've heard that while a H1B case is pending (before it is denied), one can apply a separate petition from another employer and is still considered a valid application that is within the quota as it is for the same applicant.
Does anyone have experience in this area? What do you recommend? I also plan to contact an attorney regarding this to help my friend.

Hi:
Me and my husband left US on AP, which is valid until nxt year. We both were working on valid H1's until we left. We dont want to go for stamping and will use AP on our arrival at the POE. We havent applied for EAD when we left. Is it Ok for us to apply for EAD once we are back in US or is it ok to apply for H1's again once we r back. In both cases whether we go for h1 or EAD, can we start wroking rt a way or do we need approval first.
Thanks.
If you are planning to continue working for the same H1 employer when you return on AP, then you can start working immediately. If you intend to change employers, then either your new employer needs to file a H1 Change of Employer petition and you can start working once you get it approved OR you can apply EAD and start working when its approved.

I have been in this country close to 11 years, and have PD of Feb 2004 EB3 India, and am thinking if I could apply for EB1 through another company than my employer. I am currently using EAD to work but I recently met someone who got GC through EB1 having started the process in 2008. I am really frustrated with the EB3 progress and have no hope so was thinking of this option. I have Masters with about 13 years of experience. Just wanted to check out if any of you are having similar thoughts and if this is a possible route ?
Also , is Labor substitution still a path or has that been blocked out ?
Any useful responses appreciated. TIA.

Hello,
I filed 485 in July 2007 and got the 485 receipt nos for myself and wife and my daughter. Both my wife and myself got EADs too. Though i applied EAD for my daughter [who is under 4 years at the time of application], i neither received EAD reciept nor the application back. I saw in some other threads that kids under 10years are not getting EADs. Is it true?
I know some may ask why we need EADs for kids? My daughter 's I-94 is expired on Oct 10th 2007 and i applied EAD for her in july just in case though she cant work.
Any ideas?

Yes there is. You need to write to the Service Center that has your I-485 and ask that the approved I-140 with the earlier priority date be substituted for the one in your 485 file.

if this helps any one:
My 485 filled on July 2nd @ NSC Received at 11:11 AM - No check cashed and no info.
140 Approved from TSC last year.
EAD is self-filed later on Aug 14th @ NSC with USPS tracking# proof.
But EAD check cashed today from NSC (LIN#)
It's crazy. What I can say more.
Hi all : After talking to an IO, I discovered that using my name and DOB, they could only trace my application till I-140. They couldn't see any applications for I485/EAD/AP for myself and my husband. Huh.. weird.. What should I infer from this so-called drama. What should be my next move? Pls. advise.
My attorney gave me a FEDEx tracking number, which states it was recd. by j. Barrett (NSC) on 2nd July. My application was complete with all different checks and all original medicals for me and my husband.
This is ridiculous. Does it mean, NSC has lost my application (s)? I see LUD as of 8-5-07 on my approved I-140 number as per USCIS website? What does that mean? Gee. This is crazy.
Thanks if anyone can help me figure out this mystery.
goodluck folks

I work for a Fortune 10 company ( I am FTE there) and have been working with them since 2001. Got my 4th 3 year H1b Extension in 2009.
I had the visit from USCIS officer few months back, she said that is it Random. She asked routine questions. In our company we have two titles a corporate title and a working title (one for industry and one for job) she was very understanding about that difference. She asked me for a salary slip, address for my HR and some routine questions for my job.
I did talk to my lawyer after that and she said that she has started hearing about that for our company and it is ok. It is nearly 3 months since then and I have not heard anything so I assume everything is ok.
Don't worry I was very unsetled to see the USCIS and it did take me few days to get over it, but everything should be ok.
