Hi All,
I received an RFE on my pending 485 application:
Here is my case:
I am a derivative applicant working on my own H1
Here is the content of the RFE:
1. Please submit a properly completed form G325A. Submit all the documentary evidence to support your employment history listed in form G325A.
2. Clear copies of form W2 wage and Tax statements
3. Complete copies of properly filed Tax returns (IRS Form 1040)
4. Any additional document which confirms your employment history.
5. You must submit a currently dated letter from your intended permanent employer, describing your present job duties and position in the organization, your pre-offered position (if different from your current one) , the date you began employment and the offered salary or wage. Form letters are not acceptable. This letter should be in original and signed by an executive or officer of the organization who is authorized to make or confirm an offer of permanent employment. The letter must also indicate whether the terms and conditions of your employment based visa petition (or labor certification) continue to exist.
I can easily provide all the docs above (from number 1 to 4) but I am surprised why I am asked to provide a letter from my intended permanent employer since I am derivative applicant.
Anyone else in the same boat? please share your experience/ suggestion.
Thanks!

It took about 4 weeks. Do you have H1-B extension? If so, I would suggest to use that instead of waiting for AP. The AP has new date instead of old one. Good Luck in getting the AP sooner.
IF your EAD and AP got approved with incorrect Photo. What actions ur lawyer is taking for her I-485 application. IF you 485 approved her card will come with different photo. so you lawyer suggested to you and what actions ur taking to prevent.
Let me know as I am also in same boat.
My lawyer is stupid guy he wont respond to me. he will only respond to my employer.

Friends,
I apoligizeif I was posting this message in the wrong section.
I'm on H1B and filed my 140/485 concurrently in Aug 2007. Can I do ONLINE MBA with out affecting GC process?
One can study on H1B visa and there is no effect on an underlying GC process as long as one obeys all the H1B requirements.

sounds good...thanks
look at your labor app... it states your proffered wage, job description etc. those are the terms and conditions... you can still get an EVL from your employer and have your lawyer (or have yourself) write a letter explaining how the EVL covers terms and conditions on the labor cert. in any case, this is a really stupid and unenforceable rfe... i mean how can the new employer even know whats in the labor and i-140? and without knowing that how can an employer "indicate" any compliance with t&c of labor and 140? i think you should be fine with just a plain evl that matches your job description and salary... at most, you can write a letter saying that "yeah the t&c continues to be valid".
my 2 cents.

I heard the NPR discussions with the author and her American husband regarding this. Husband's response "this was how parenting was done in his time in average American families. The idea that learning should be fun or it is okay to be number 2 is rather new to America."

Checklaw,
By Law, you must apply for an intended travel.
However it has been routine practice to get AP renewed because if there is an emergency and on your return if your GC is approved AP is handy.
I am July 2007 filer. I applied in 2007. Did not apply in 2008 (had a valid h1b visa stamped in Passport which expires in Sep 2009) and re applied in 2009. No Issues.
Thanks
Senthil
Thanks for responding akilaakka. I have always understood the emergency part and urgent travel part for AP renewal. As renewing AP for family is pretty expensive, what am trying to understand is:
Should one renew AP if there is no travel anticipated just to satisfy any legal mumbo jumbo?
Your scenario appears to be different in the sense you indicated you still have a unexpired valid visa stamped in passport.
Are AP extension gaps fine with respect to expired or no H1B visa.

Thanks guys for your support. Its not that I didn't want to contribute and I will definetely do it once I get my H1 visa stamped.
Status Update -
Manager is working actively on getting all the documents ready including detailed job description, requriements that were posted when I joined, vendor letter stating they cannot provide the master agreement with detailed duties. My client lawyers have asked the vendor not to share the master agreeement otherwise it will be a breach of contract, so there is nothing much my manager can do.
My company has already prepared a letter to show work schedule if I get out of work with current client.
So now I have almost all the letters that I have been asked for but I'm still not sure if I will get the visa without the master agreement. Do I have a choice?
What do you guys think?
How about your client directly sending the agreement to the cosulate through fax or whatever your client's attorney is saying (breach of contract) get it in writing or print out the email and submit as evidence with other supporting documents.
This is the exact reason we want to work more aggressively for 'Filing for I-485 when PD is not current'. You wouldnt have to be in this mess if you have EAD.

I have couple of questions, couldn't find answers in other threads.
1. My I485 was filed on July 6th, 2007 (PD Oct, 2005) without EAD/AP (since my lawyer was expecting a rejection). Now, he will apply for EAD/AP, and cannot do it until we get a receipt for AOS, which will probably take more than a month. Given this, I'll be applying for EAD possibly in August end. Is this a blessing in disguise, as, I'll have to pay new fees for EAD, which would mean, I won't have to renew that EAD every year?? Am I correct in this assumption?
Wrong! Yes, you will be the new fee but then you will pay the same fee each year you renew your EAD. No fee payment only applies if you file your I-485 with the new fee structure.
2. My spouse's AOS was filed with mine as dependent. She has a H1 of her own and is working. Now, after the I485 receipt comes back, if she leaves her job, will she be in status (or does she need to move to H4? I'll stay on H1 and won't invoke EAD unless necessary). My understanding is, with the receipt, she is in status no matter what (unless the I485 gets denied).
TIA.
If you are not planning on using EAD and she won't either then she needs to change status to H4.

Severance package includes all benefits including health care. As per the law no can be paid full salary with deductions being made for Medicare and social security, if there is no valid status. My friends have gone through this stage in Big5, they can NOT cancel H1B until the last day of severance package validity.
Also remember that by law, employer has to arrange a one way ticket to the departing employee (not to the family members) to his/her foreign country and show it in record that they made all arrangements to send away the employee so that there is no overstay or illegal stay after severance package.
I have seen this happening so many times
If employee choses a different option to stay legally, that's up to the employee
Severance Package is NOT salary. One can receive unemployment benefits during the period of severance pay. Please check with your attorney/lawyer. H1 status is valid until last day of employment.
If one applies for H1 transfer during brief period (couple of weeks) after H1 status expiry, USCIS generally approves H1 transfer with new I-94. If the new I-94 is not attached, the one is required is travel abroad to get new visa stamp and re-entry into US gets that person into valid H1 status.
One way ticket is provided only if the employee is fired or laid off. Please check rules before posting. No one-way ticket is required if employee resigns (or made to resign, as some may say).
Also, one need to aware of the risk of losing PD porting, if the existing I-140 is revoked or canceled by the employer.
Please verify details with your attorney/lawyer.

Called 6 different operators at the USCIS and got different answers (atleast they are consistently inconsistent!)
2 Said it is perfectly fine as long as the amount is correct
3 said they prefer seperate checks but if the amount is correct they will accept it
1 said they will reject the whole package.
On a lighter note i spoke to one really sweet lady when my call was escalated. All i wanted to ask was about the checks, but she (very enthusiastically) looked up my information and informed me that i was not in the system yet and actually apologised to me. Now i KNOW she looked it up coz she got my middle and company names right even without my telling her that. She even said she has received a few calls today and the guy b4 me was a lucky caller as he was in the system as of Aug 8.
Called 6 different operators today? Wow!

Hi,
I am working in US on L1 and my company would start my green card filling in next few months.
I also have valid H1B pettion stamped and can switch to H1B which would mean that I can work freely here at US.
But many of my friends told me that green card processing is faster on L1.
I am not able to make decision whether I should continue working on L1 or change my status to H1 to get better hike and more opportunity.
Pls can anyone tell me which would be wise choice. Is green card processing for L1 visa is faster?
Thanks in advance.
~Greeta
GC in L1 is not faster than H1. Its just that L1-As are typically multinational managers who qualify for EB1, and H1s typically are engineers/worker-bees who qualify for the longer EB2/EB3 Process. So first find out what your category is going to be, EB1 or one of the other two.
If you qualify for EB1, your GC process will be fast (~6 months), if its EB2 or EB3, hunker down for a long (5?10 years?) wait. This is irrespective of whether you are in L1 Or H1.
advantages of H1
- can be extended indefinately past 6 years in 1-3 year increments; once you have a GC going (LC >365 days old or I-140 approved).
- can change employers in the US.
advantages of L1
- if your spouse is on L2, he/she can get an EAD and work.
so main issues with your current status of L1:
- If you have not filed your 485 within your L1 time, you need to change status to something else or return to home country. You cant get the extensions that you can get with H1.
- if you lose your job, if you already had an H1 In the past you can move to that status, otherwise you need to go to home country and then get lucky in next years lottery.
- there are no salary restrictions, so the employer can potentially legally underpay you. With H1 you must atleast be paid the prevailing wage.
So unless you have a spouse that is currently on an L2-EAD, I would think moving to H1 makes more sense. (time in L1 counts agianst your time for H1 and vice-versa)

[QUOTE=h1techSlave;174221]"Aligning with illegals will be benefitial to us." That was the philosophy that we have been following all along. The result - you talk to an average American and he thinks we are illegals. You talk to lawmakers (IV's lawmaker meeting attendees can confirm this) and the lawmakers think we are illegals. That is why we may have start thinking of another strategy.
[QUOTE]
So what??? You tell them you are not, and you go on talking about what you would like to have done. Then you talk to the undocumented lobby and get their support for your bills, then they contact their sponsor Senators. I see absolutely nothing detrimental to the cause of IV that some people think you are illegal - on the contrary I see a lot of positive in it, since all of a sudden you have a story to tell.

Normally VISA bulletine gets advertised atleast 15-20 days before date becomes current. You can apply for your wife's I-485 during that time (Mostly from 1st day of the month). I don't know there is any grace period after I-485 is approved. It is better to file for I-485 as soon as date gets current to avoid any risk.

Well... thanks for your reply but maybe you are one of the lucky ones who never been scr... up by the lawyers in the past. Well.. I have and others as well. Just becuase the lawyer says "it can be done" (read: pay now and we will see what USCIS will say later) I am not necessarily going to believe in that ...
CIRcus is in the early stages of the show so hopefully it will pick up the steam soon I will not need to go through the EB2/EB3 pains ....
It was done well in my case. Takes a lawyer who knows what s/he is doing though. Gluck.

Write a covering note clearly indicating the documents yu need and include information like lin numbers etc if available. get it notarized and mail it to the address in the instructions. yu recv a application recvd note within 20 buss days. this contains a number which you can use to track yur request. I am still waiting for my request to be completed since it has been placed on the complex track!
