Transfer H1-b (dont have to apply for a new one)
: THIS IS COMPLETELY WRONG
I already posted this in another thread and I will post it again:
I am wondering when people will understand that H1B Transfer does not exist!
Everytime you want to switch employers, a whole new H1 must be filed.
People are always under the impression that because they already hold an H1, then it is easy to get "transferred" to another company.
In this case, the only thing you actually "transfer" is ...yourself and nothing else. The only advantage of already having an H1 is that you don't have to worry about the quota anymore, you are exempted from it.
Since you have to file a new case, approval can never be guaranteed and it is therefore always risky to switch employers (as soon as the new H1 is filed), without waiting for approval. Tricky stuff...
Check this from Murthy.com:
" Among the questions that often reach us, are those regarding H1B status and changing employers that refer to "transferring" the H1B. This term is frequently used, even by some immigration attorneys. The H1B is not actually "transferred" from one employer to another when an individual changes a job, however. We understand what people mean when they refer to an H1B transfer. We take this opportunity to explain the concept, though. This should help our readers to avoid misunderstandings as to procedure and requirements based upon the mistaken belief that the H1B is somehow transferable from one employer to the next.
�MurthyDotCom
When a person is on an H1B and plans to change employers, what technically is filed with the USCIS is a new H1B petition, reflecting a change in employment, generally with a request to extend H1B status. Again, with the exception of the foreign national employee, there is nothing that transfers from one employer to the other."

My Mother in law is severely sick, and my wife needs to travel asap. We need to get her AP, as it's expired.
1. Is there an urgent processing option for the AP? And how ?
2. Can she travel on the receipt of application, and I can send the AP document to her by FEDEX?
Thanks,
Just go to the USCIS office even if you do not get an infopass. Go with I-485 receipt, 2 passport size photos. If you go first thing in the morning, you might be able to get the AP issued to you the same day. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE A LETTER FROM THE HOSPITAL/DOCTOR STATING HER CONDITION. It can be a faxed copy.

Hi all,
This discussion is very valuble for people like me deciding between living in Canada as PR vs H1B USA .We all know that salaries in USA are slightly better than Canada .But now the exchange rate is almost equal.
Salary:
Can a person with family(2 kids) survive in Canada with CAD 50,000 / year salary in a place like Toronto.? I heard in Canada you pay 13 % tax on anything you buy .Does 50 % of your income goes in taxes ?
HealthCare:
Also is the government sponsored health care good compared to USA .I mean do you have any wait to see specialists.Is healthcare comparable to USA .
Immigration:
In USA anyone can get a Greencard regardless of their qualifications and it depends how early you enter the GC queue.But looks like in Canada they value your educations and other qualifications.Can IT professionals (non-managers) apply for Canada PR without a job or canadian education?
Canadian Citizenship:
Many people want to get Canadian citizenship and return to USA with TN Visa .In future ,could USA put restrictions on this .?
Please share your thoughts .
Thankyou
Bharat,
Did you read post#43 ont his thread. Doors are closed for canadian PR for those are in NON Managerial IT positions. Try Australian PR. here is the helpful link

I was 100% determined in the beginning to attend the rally, but could not for the following reasons.
1> I was in Dallas and family in SoCal for last 9 months(from Dec 2006 to be precise). I used to meet my family every other weekend. Was trying very hard to find a project in Socal, and finally I got one where joining date was Spet 13th. I could not dare to ask for leave in the very first week. To tell you the truth it took so long b'cos of H1 status, everybody wants me to transfer my H1 or they are looking only for GC/EAD holders. Hoping to get EAD soon.
2> My husband was planning to attend but somewhere in Aug last week we got FP notices and date is Sept 18th. The FP letter clearly mentioned that postponing might cause delays so we decided that he also has to drop the idea.
Of course we contributed towards the rally.
I am very proud to be part of such excellent grass root organization and now since I am in Irvine I can be active in Socal chapter.
Also we are eager to join in the next rally and have total faith in IV leadership.

I recommend you apologize to MC and don't make this a circus
Not sure what you mean here. MC is not angry at me, If anything he is angry at snathan :D
Also i admire you digging through my old emails to get that nugget of information out but you wasted your time going through the old posts unless it has opened your minds at last but wait !!!!! what am i thinking. You belong to the 2 gang !!!!
Also the reason for the . is very simple. I was using it to test whether my post was still being blocked by IV or not. ironic huh :)
thats pretty ridiculous, why don't you prove it
Now i don't need to prove anything. You have done that by your reply.

If you get an MBA from Sloan or Wharton or Harvard or Berkeley, nothing like it. I know of few people who have not done very well after getting MBAs from these schools. If you want to continue writing comp. programs, then of course there is no need for it. But how many people want to do it forever?
But I agree with Tito to some extent. Especially, if the degree is from even a slightly lower ranked school like Arizona or Northwestern, the returns are not there, and there is a great deal of evidence in that direction.
Having actually studied this data (and being in the business of teaching) gives me some perspective.
But it's still just my 2 cents.

I received Card Production Ordered email today for my EAD renewal. I hope I get the EAD for 2 years. Will keep you guys posted on the EAD validity once I get it.
I got the same email this morning and status said EAD was ordered on june 30th.
I am pretty sure we will get a 2yr EAD but will just have to wait 2 more days to confirm this.... I wonder if they are looking at the current status and if you are on h1b they are issued 1yr and processed it before june 30, while if you are currently on EAD, they kept them until June 30th.. I doubt it but just a theory...

Just got off the phone. The Lady said she is getting hundreds of these calls. She also said the Rep smith had not made his position public. She asked if I was part of the same group that has been calling. I said yes but I am calling on behalf of all the legal immigrants who would like to see a better streamlined process so that thousands of tax payers in US can breath a sigh.
lets keep the calls coming.

Hi,
I had invoked AC21 and informed usc thru my old attorney.
Now Frago...is filing my EAD,AP extensions and asking me to file G28 for AP and EAD only.
They agreed to keep 485 G28 as is so that old attorney will take care of it.
Do you see any issues here?

Well I filed under Rest of World" and EB2 back in August of 2006 when it was current for me (it�s always been current for me since then). I filed both my I-140 and I-485 together. I have done the fingerprinting etc and even replied to a RFE for my I-140 (well my company did). On June 1st I got my company to submit an "out of processing time" request which gives USCIS 45 days to come back with a decision or reason for not approving it. Now after all this fiasco my lawyer is telling me that my I-140 will continue as per usual (since it's not affected by all this) but my I-485 will not be approved until after October 1st. I don't agree with him, I believe part of the 60,000 visa numbers have been allocated to those that are pending and current (so they haven't been approved but have already been allocated). Does anyone agree or disagree?
Under normal scenario you have to wait until your 140 gets approved But during the past 12 days they could have approved your 140 just to approve your 485 tooo.. Keep checking your mail box every day and good luck;;;;:D :D :D

With the porting thing happening crazily, It looks like your gc will be a dream for ever. Better you take ADMIN position in IV. Better you turn as approver.
my dear friend why are you fighting, you can simply put your point in nice way.
