Many members don't update their IV profiles after moving. I ended up calling two from IL !(while organizing MI chapter).
Hope everyone's as diligent as BharatPremi
Here is a link to update your profile - you could pick a new state of residence.

I got the e-mail that card prodn. is ordered. Not sure if i'll get one year or 2 years EAD renewal now. I filed in Nebraska center. I called USCIS and asked them but they are not sure either.. I hate to miss out of 2 yr EAD just 'cos it got approved today but not Monday. Is there any way to appeal for a 2 yr EAD ????
I think it is 2 years for approvals that occur after June 30th. Which means yours might be a 1 year deal

I should those got the CARD PRODUCTION ORDER without name check are lucky and that are only few cases. Most of the cases are stuck with name check even though the PD is current and the RD rule applicable.

Check this Out:
Q. How do I make a complaint against my attorney or representative?
A. If the complaint concerns the conduct of an attorney or representative in a matter before the Immigration Court, BIA, or DHS, you may complete a Form EOIR-44, �Immigration Practitioner Complaint Form� but it is not required. You may write your own complaint statement or letter. This statement or letter must include.
Your name and address,
The attorney�s or representative�s name and address,
An explanation of the circumstances and details of your complaint, and
Your signature.
Along with your Form EOIR-44 or your own complaint statement or letter, you may also submit supporting documents and information, such as:
Correspondence between you and your attorney or representative,
Documents concerning the underlying immigration case (including the case name and number), and
Copies of filings in connection with the case.
Neither EOIR nor DHS can accept complaints over the telephone.

Thanks a ton for the link. This will definitely bring shivers to those belligerant lawyers.

We should try for
1. Either to remove country quota
or
2. Re-instate soft quota.
The above is a long term and final solution.
Other solutions - allowing to file 485, h1 extension for 3 more years will ease our life while we wait for the green card but the first two would make the wait shorter - do we want to "comfortably" wait longer or get to the end point faster ?

And depending on how long you have been on H1 and if the University is a State Univ, your wife can also qualify for in state Tuition fee. These days its very rare for MS students to get funding. You can save some money that way.

Hello:
Can some please help me here ?.
Iam on H4 and I applied for H1 through a consulting company and got it approved last month. I haven't got my I797 form yet.
I have applied for EAD through my husband's company. I think EAD may take few more months to get approved. My questions are:-
1. what status am I on right now ?
2. Is it true that only after getting H1 visa stamp I will be moving to H1 visa ?.
3. How to move to EAD as I don't want to pay payroll fees ?.
Thanks,

The above is right. But make sure its applied all over the application. If not the application will be returned to you. Use the above argument in the front and then attach both the I-140s and then mark on the I-140 which is original one and which ones priority date is being used.
Do this for every applicant. Get it done via an attorney who has done this before. Most of them dont even have a clue how to do it.
It can be done at I-485 stage.
Thank you all for your response. As per him ( my attorney) - you apply for I-485 with the new I-140. Provide reference to earlier PD as reason for your application. He provided the following text from the USCIS's I-140/I-485 adjudication document.
If an alien is the beneficiary of two (or more) approved employment-based immigrant visa petitions, the priority of the earlier petition may be applied to all subsequently-filed employment-based petitions. For example:
Company A files a labor certification request on behalf of an alien ("Joe") as a janitor on January 10, 2003. The DOL issues the certification on March 20, 2003. Company A later files, and USCIS approves, a relating I-140 visa petition under the EB-3 category. On July 15, 2003, Joe files a second I-140 visa petition in his own behalf as a rocket scientist under the EB-1 category, which USCIS approves. Joe is entitled to use the January 10, 2003, priority date to apply for adjustment under either the EB-1 or the EB-3 classification
ANYBODY HAS A DOCUMENT COUNTERING IT ( STATING IT CAN NOT BE DONE AT I-485 OR IT MUST BE DONE AT I-140). PLEASE PROVIDE LINKS OR REFERENCES. SORRY FOR THE URGENCY.

I suggest that you put things in black and white.
Write to the former employer to let him know that you have been calling him reg the dues. Give him a time frame and let him know that you will consider going to DOL if things are not sorted out.
Pls be polite with your wordings as this may help resolve the issue itself.
Dear Viewers
Could anyone please advice me on how to claim the unpaid salary from the previous employers.
I was working for a company based in Michigan run by an Indian. This person did not pay me my last month salary. He does not pick up his phone or respond to my email. I have all the proof that my client has paid him the money for which I worked but he continue to ignore my request. This guy owes me around 5000 dollars.
Any piece of advice would be of great help.

My wife Volunteered at a day care, a school and the school that she is currently working before the school sponcered her H1 and hired her as a regular employee. We checked with the School HR ( Lawyer ) and our Lawyer before she worked as a volunteer at the school that she is currently working and neither objected.
There were no documents involved in the volunter work, I don't see how this could cause any issue.
Volunteer work done
Day Care --> 8 months
School --> 6 months
Current school --> 3 months

For any reasonable immigration reform to pass, politicians need an urgency to act. That urgency comes only from an imminent threat to their sitting offices - beyond party lines.
People who are stuck in the immigration process should do a better job in uniting and in working with registered voters so that the issue of immigration reform is a concern for any incumbent elected official.
No one approach is perfect but undocumented workers do a better job in connecting with their community and letting their voices heard than so called "skilled immigrant" community. Our silence makes CIR amnesty and will be dead on arrival.

You cant use to port date after using AC21 ,your job responsiblities need to be same or of smiliar nature so u cant interfile as EB2 job responsiblities will differ. Porting of dates always carries risks more checks more documentations.
If I stay with my GC sponser, can I then port the date? If so, when am I free to leave the company? Is it after the EB2 I140 is approved?
Thanks!
