I am a July filer who has been working with his company for 5 years on H1. I have an offer to switch jobs and I am contemplating using EAD (I renewed it in 08,just never used it).
The new employer has verified my status using e-Verify. What surprised me is that , as soon as the verification was done, my existing employer called me and started asking me if I was planning to use the EAD and if they can do anything to alleviate my concerns about my compensation etc.
There is not way my current employer would know about my intentions since I maintained the confidentiality.
Does anyone know if e-Verify informs the current employer somehow? Do they receive a call from USCIS for any verification? Could this be a matter of concern?.

Hello,
I am working in New Jersey(8th yr H1B extension) and my Employer is in Illinois. In my H1B LCA he mentioned Prevailing wage for New Jersey and Illinois.
1.My Employer is deducting tax from Illinois instead of New Jersey in
my Pay Slip. Can you please tell me which Prevailing wage I need to
compare in this situation?
2.Do I need to compare Gross pay of every month with the amount
mentioned in LCA or total amount (including all Bonus amount).
Please advise me .
Thanks.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD MORNING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.

Friends,
I'm a long time silent follower of these forums. I've been thru most of the ups and downs of the immigration journey, and I am now on the final stage of the green card waiting for my PD to be current.
Something rather curious happened to me that I would like to share with you. I recently applied for my first EAD, about a full year and a half after I filed for my I-485. My e-application and consequently the receipt date is Nov 3rd, 2008. I got my biometrics notice in the mail on Nov 14th, for an appointment date of tomorrow, Nov 26th.
The oddity starts here, I just went to check my mail, and I am already approved for my EAD, and the card production has been ordered.
Is this something that happens frequently? Has it ever happened to anyone else before? I will be showing up to my appointment tomorrow anyway just in case...
Thanks!

I am on H1-B Visa and my wife on H4. She filed for GC in Schedule A(I140&I485 filed concurrently) category. Her I140 is not approved yet. We both got our EAD cards but have not worked using our EADs. I do not intend to use my EAD to work. Our question is:
* If her I-140 gets denied will she still have her H4 status as I am still maintaining my H1?
* If not, how can she get back to H4 status? Will she be asked to leave the country immediately?
Need immediate reply.
Thanks in advance

I need some clarity on this issue. I know AC21 helps switching jobs within the same field/duties, but here is my line of thought... I'm past 2yrs on my H1 and I plan to do a part-time MBA (~3yrs) after which I'd like to be open on the kind of job I do.
Now, my questions are: (1) Does switching to EAD really pause the H1 clock?
(2) Is that triggered by filling a new I-9 form alone, or by entering the US on AP, or both?
(3) I guess, I should be able to apply for a fresh H1 with a new company and switch back from the EAD to new H1, right?
I know I'll lose the GC priority, especially wife's EAD, but I'm debating if it's worth losing my career aspirations? My info: Nov '06 EB2 PD, approved I-140, July 3 I-485 receipt and my present company will file our EAD/APs as long as it is necessary.
Looking for your input..... Thanks!

Is there any one in this situation?
1. Date is current(because of interfile) and received 2 year EAD
2. USCIS District Office IO cannot find whether the case is EB2 or EB3. Is it true or there any experiences?
3. Does any one know of any pattern of how long it will take to approve the case once its assigned to an Office?
Any input is greatly appreciated.

American Family Visas are permanent Immigrant Visas, meaning genuine applicants under this category may obtain permanent residency in America if they meet qualifying requirements.
Family migration is based around 2 general categories; one is based on a preference system and the other offers permanent residency regardless of the demand for Immigrant Visas. The latter, the Non-preference Category, is for immediate relatives of American citizens.
Fiancee's of American citizens will need to apply for a temporary non-immigrant K1 Visa if they wish to join their partner in America.

Lawful permanent residents (LPR) of the United States (green card holders) need to keep their trips abroad to a relatively short period of time. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) could determine that an LPR has abandoned their residence if the LPR’s intent was not to return to the U.S. within a relatively short period of time.
Factors DHS could consider in evaluating the LPR’s intent include:
Whether the trip abroad is lengthy or for a short period of time;
LPR’s family ties in the U.S.;
property holding in the U.S.;
business affiliations within the U.S.;
LPR’s family, property, and business ties in the foreign country.
Please call Kraft & Associates at (214)999-9999 if you have any questions regarding abandonment of residency.

Congratulations IV!! We have reached the 4000 member mark. While this is definetly a milestone, like TO_BE_OR_NOT_TO_BE and ragz4u pointed out, we have a lot more potential...
Now that being said, there is a difference between 'giving' vs 'taking'.. In the last couple of weeks we have had 100's of people register to become members, and yet whenever IV volunteers ask for contribution, less that 1% of the new people come to contribute.. That is a TAKER mentality..
Logiclife had started a thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=895)that clearly explains why you should contribute.. we have about 2800 members that are yet to contribute... Folks, While a contribution of a 100$ is not a big deal, even if we contribute 50$ (to start with) and 50% of the 2800 people contribute we would have an additional $70,000. This should not be a big deal..
Please visit logiclife's wonderful thread and reply after contributing and helping yourself by helping IV!
