Thank you all for your valuable suggestions...
My attorney sent a letter with approved I-140 copy to reconsider the decission on I-485. No change in the status online so far (3 days passed). I will wait for another week and apply MTRs for me and my wife.
Thanks,

Is letter from employee needed for filing I-485 for my spouse. I filed I-485 under EB3 last August and it's still pending. She takes my PD and my PD will be current in May. I have an old letter from my employer when filing my I-485 last August but was wondering if a new letter from employer is needed or the old one would do.
Thanks in advance.
does not hurt to get a new one.

Hi attorney,
I know the question sounds weird.
My husband applied EB2 in 2007. 140 approved and 485 pending. But then we came back to our home country because of layoff. We carried AP but now AP is expiring in 3 weeks. I know after AP goes expired, our 485 will be considered abandoned.
I heard that PD is still ours even in the case of abandonment of 485. So, I still hope that some day we can come back to US to re-do the green card application. My question is, once PD becomes current, how long will the window to submit 485 be open for us?
Thanks.

The US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) has issued new guidance (http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/health_care_occupations_20may09.pdf)on the standards for adjudicating H-1B petitions filed on behalf of beneficiaries seeking employment in a health-care specialty occupation.
The memo suggests that adjudicators should first consult the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics� Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) to determine whether the position qualifies as a H-1B "specialty occupation" as defined in the Immigration and Nationality Act.
The memo addresses licensing requirements for health-care workers in detail, and the effect of having a license - or not having a license - on approval of a case. If the foreign national has the required license, the adjudicator should not "look beyond the license." If the foreign national has a restricted license (e.g., license approved except for mandatory supervised practice), and the petition is otherwise approvable, an adjudicator should approve the petition for one year, or the duration of the restricted license, whichever is longer.
If the employee does not have the license because s/he needs certain immigration documents before getting a license, CIS can approved the petition for one year. The memo says that "The approval of any such H-1B petition shall not constitute approval by USCIS for the alien beneficiary to engage in any activity requiring possession of such State or local license. It is merely a means to facilitate the state or local licensing authority�s issuance of such a license to the alien, provided all other requirements are satisfied."

From Business Week: A report released on Tuesday makes the case that increased immigration is not a cause of increased unemployment in the U.S. The study, �The Unemployment Disconnect: Untying the Knot,� was issued by the Immigration Policy Center, the research arm of the American Immigration Law Foundation, an association of immigration lawyers that generally supports pro-immigration policies. The study sets out with the assertion that if immigrants are taking jobs away from native-born workers, �one would expect to find high unemployment rates in those parts of the country with large numbers of immigrants.� Examining state, county, and metropolitan area...

Well a company can be sued for any reason. I do not control the day to day activity apart from IT stuff.
My question specifically, if the company is sued, since I am a minority owner will I have to do rounds in the court appear before a judge etc..will I be summoned! Or only the executives majority shareholders are summoned.
(No I am not talking about a body shop and this is a small financial firm)

First name on the birth certificate and passport is the same but instaed of "ta"there is "tha" in marriage certificate .Due holiday ,it is just impoossible to get affidavit by tonight.
Please I sincerely appreciate your opinion what should be done in such case?
Wait till 16th evening ,hoping to get affidavit which may or maynot be possible or just go ahead and submit application now?
Thank you so much.

Ajay,
Thank you for your reply.
I am assuming that you did not apply for AP earlier.
You took the Infopass and got the AP in 2 weeks.
[I read in the USCIS website that, if you had applied for AP & if you have to travel in emergency, they speed it up & issue the AP during Infopass appointment].
I think it is true whether we have an AP application in process or not.
Did you take photos, check, I-485 receipt etc., along with you to the InfoPass interview?
It is good to know that we can get AP if we have to travel urgently.
Did they say they would mail the AP to your address in your Infopass
appointment?
Thank you for your help!

I was looking at status of my EAD I applied on 15th October'2008 online at TSC.Status shows that my card has been ordered for production on 31st October.I received letter for Biometric appointment on 5th November. I went to ASC on Saturday( 11/1/2008) and had my fingerprinting done.
How can they order the card on 31st october when my biometrics were done by that date and my appointment was set for 5th Nov 2008 ? Anybody faced the same situation? I had gone for finger printing for I-485 this January.
I got FP notice for my EAD one month after I got my EAD in hand.

My limited understanding about the GC process is that from the day I-485 is filed, a person may change his/her job only after 180 days or more, and of course by filing AC 21.
Also, in case the I-485 does not get approved within the 180 days after filing, then how can a person change a job without having an EAD.
A person can EAD only once I-485 is approved? Is that correct.
Please throw some light on the above points. Thanks in advance.

The lawyer should have received the receipt of I-140. It would be best to ask your lawyer a copy of the I-140 receipt for your record. Using the case number from the I-140 receipt notice you could check the status of your application online at:

I am currently working for a company at Chicago,IL on OPT (Optional Practical Training) period which is of one year. I have graduated as Electical Engineer from NJIT,NJ this year and is authorized to work during the OPT. Unfortunately the OPT is ending on 11th February, 2007.
I applied for H1B through the same company at Chicago but missed it as the CAP was closed by 28th August, 2006. Hence, I am currently working on the OPT work authorization.
I am aware that I will be out of status after February 11th at the end of my OPT tenure. I am planning to re-apply for H1 with the same company again well in time next year. As I will be out of status until I get my H1B application accepted and approved possibly by October'07, what are the best options available for me to legally stay here in USA with a valid status during the period until October 2007. Time is short and I needed to work out some thing quick.
I shall be grateful to any one who could send in your valuable advise.

It is withholding...you have to give the tax sooner or later, what is your concern ? If your company is not allowing and are stupid enough to withhold money, have them withhold more money and take it back from the Fed. next year, what is the big deal ?
I recently change employer on EAD in NJ and new employer is saying that I can't claim withholding allowance for dependents on EAD; I had no issue with my previous employer and was claiming 6 withholding allowances; I told them that my previous payroll processor was ADP and none of my friends on EAD had any issues claiming dependents; They are saying that this is new 2010 rule change and you need to have GC for it. I told them that all dependents have SSN and passes 182 days resident alien test rule..they are not agreed..Is it true? Please let me/send any links/information to prove it...

I remember reading if you travel outside the country while your AP is pending, it will be considered abandoned and you may not receive approval or any refund.
Check with your attorney
This is unfortunately a little incorrect advise. H1B is a dual intent visa, which means it can be held TOGETHER with your AOS or 485.
As long as you use your H1B to travel, you are fine.
