Like the original poster, I too am in the US for more than 11 years (12th year about to complete)
I too had my PPD test (skin test for TB) come out positive but i don't know exactly how big the size was.
I just came from a civil surgeon who said that i might have to undergo the treatment for it if the size was above 10 mm. He also said that i will have to be retested for it if we don't find the reports of the size when this was done earlier. My PCP had mentioned that there is no point it getting the test done again.
I had submitted my medical exam records with my 484 application in July 2007. I wonder if USCIS is trying to boost the economy by trying to get us go for the medical again? (my lawyer says to go to the doctor and get a medical exam done again would be the most practical and quickest way to respond to the RFE.

I can't think of any issue - as long as you have all the papers, seems fairly straight forward and routine to me.
Sorry for little confusion.
What I mean was,
- I filed I-485 for me and my wife
- then after 180 days I switched to a new company with H1B transfer.
- So, I am still in H1B status.
- But my wife (secondary applicant) is using EAD based on I-485 and working.
Which means we used AC21 for portability of our I-140 and I-485 cases.
Now, we are planning to travel home to India. My wife need to use AP and I will still be using H1B visa.
So, my question was, whether there will be issue at Port of Entry when primary applicant(which is me) is still in H1B visa with pending I-485 and my wife is using EAD with AP?

i think once you use EAD to work, your H4 status has to expire. as someone said above, H4 by definition is a dependent visa and does not allow independent earnings (no job, no business nothing)
as per your next question, usually a person with valid H1B would not use AP to re-enter. Only a person on EAD would use AP to re-enter. Now what if one applies, gets and uses AP to re-enter even after having valid H1B (and no EAD), I don't know what the resultant status is?
Many used AP to enter and still continue to work with the same H1B employer without issue. I myself did this thrice and using AP does not invalidate your H1, but using EAD on I-9 form will do.
To reply to the original question, using EAD to earn by H4 derivative does invalidate the H4. H4 does not come with work permit and not allowed to earn wages. When you start using EAD and earn wages, that does conflict with the dependent nature and USCIS will not renew the H4. This is what I understand and please check with your attorney regarding future extension of H4.
(PS: I am not a lawyer and please use my advice based on your own discretion)

I think you can volunteer while on H4. But, I would not recommend working "off the book" - it is illegal and can screw your GC process big time.
Some charity organization ask for the social security number even for volunteering. But, I am sure there are many who will let you work without it.
Hi,
Does anyone know if people on H4 are allowed to work unpaid? For example, can a person on an H4 visa file for an H1B visa with a start date of October 1st, 2007 but work on a volunteer basis (i.e., unpaid) at the same job while waiting for the H1B to come?
Thanks,
Andy

Thanks for your post - it was just what I was looking for. I have a couple of more questions.
Were you able to receive a multiple entry H1B visa?
When did you get this stamping done for H1B revalidation (did you make this trip to Halifax recently?)?
I am asking this, as the wait time to receive the visa may have changed, and I am trying to find out if I would be able to receive mine the following day after the interview at Halifax. You received your visa the following day, but the amcits website currently states: Effective Immediately... All consular posts must electronically confirm all Non-Immigrant Visa petitions petitions prior to visa issuance. This will affect applicants for H, L, O and P visas. This process may take an additional 2 to 3 workdays, creating a minimum 4 workday turnaround for such applicants. This confirmation is beyond our control and cannot be waived. Any petition based, otherwise qualified NIV applicant should be prepared to wait 4 workdays in Canada to receive his or her visaed passport.
Thanks

With the USCIS recent notice on mandatory TB-test unless supported by a valid explanation by the Civil Surgeon, I feel it is a clear invitation for a RFE (one of the most common. Search past RFE's and you will be amazed to find how common this is!)

Hi,
While in the process of filing for labor certification my company has found 2 suitable citizens who are eligible for the job.
Now what are my options going forward and how does this affect my chances of a successful PERM filing ??
I'm filing in EB3 category right now. Also I need to file for labor before oct since my H1 will expire its original 6 year length next Oct (Oct 2010).

Actually GC on L1 can be really much faster because GC processing on L1 comes under special EB1 category. So if you are willing to take risk of loosing job on L1. I will recommend to go for GC under L1.
No not all L1 fall into EB1...only multinational executives fall into that
category.

Hi, I am in the same boat as you. Can you please provide your experience with filing the future employment I-485 and if AC21 is possible.
My question is: Can you continue to work for employer B while employer A files future employment I-485 and can we use AC-21 after 180 days without being employed with employer A?
Curious to know...

I think everyone is interested in their interests. We call it vested interest. Everyone is going to work to further their interests just like we are working for our problems. To us, our problems are genuine, but may not be to everyone who we think they should be.
To the extent possible (with in the limits of our resources) in our publicity efforts, it is prudent to make our natural allies more proactive, to turn the people in our favor who are nuetral, and, reduce the impact of groups that are anti-legal immigartion by spreading the positives.
I am not in false hopes that every one is going to change their thinking because we told them our problems, but, we should try to the extent possible. It is not going to harm us.

I would suggest you to switch jobs and complain to USCIS right away instead of waiting for company A to take some action against you. This will keep the company under scrutiny of USCIS and they can unearth more mud on this company. Never put up with injustice as this encourages company A to do more of this to other employees.
Totally agree with you. However, I have been complaining abt a similar company to my local INS office for over one year now (sending letters every other month) , but to no avail. Where do we complain?

I guess the cases that are pre-adjucated are called for interview.
Well "interview" without PD becoming current is a part of "preadjudication" process. Thats why you see those denials, RFEs and interview notices.
Typically once preadjudication is done - it means the next thing is "wait for visa number". Once visa number is available a final review is done by a officer.
In other words "preadjudicated" means "approvable"

You made my day. Thanks so much. :):):):):):):)
I don't understand why people are right now so worried about priority date retrogression. If you have passed 180 days after I140 approval, go ahead, change your job and incase your 485 gets denied, reapply with new employer, with new new job description, using old PD and get GC soon as your priority date will be current. Am I missing something?
There is no way I am going to spend 6-7 years in the same job with the same title(maybe even same company).
ohhhh wow !! .. Man ...It not so easy as it looks on paper ...U will find tons of ppl in the stage of limbo after doing all this ... (including me though :(
My sincere advice, DO not even think about it ..
