How about this?
Applied I-485( not EAD & AP ) in July 2007 under old fee structure.
Applied EAD & AP in Jan 2008 and paid the new EAD/AP fees ($340 & $305)
Now, EAD & AP up for renewal in Jan 2009.
Sent the application twice without fee
but USCIS returned it saying that i need to submit fee
thanks for clarification. Lot of ppl were giving confusing info about it.

does anyone has any link or documented proof that i-485 cases with i-140 approved from texas will be transferred to texas? I believe it is nothing but speculation.
I can confirm that my adjustment of status notice was transferred since I applied in May. My I140 was approved from there early in 2006.
The receipt date was generated when it got to Texas, so essentially the receipt date is about one week after the actual date of arrival in Nebraska. This may be longer bearing in mind the deluge of applications pouring in now.

Hi guys,
I dont want to duplications, but I think following "cut and paste" from my previous post may be a fair thing to do; just for the information.
I am not a lawyer; but this is what I believe to the best of my knowledge:
1. If you never used AC21 (still working with the employer who sponsored I 140); your obligation at the time of GC approval is to have a "good faith intention to work with the same employer permanently". It is not clear in the law as to how would you prove that intention...most people say that you should work for some duration (6 months or 12 months at least...or something like that) after GC is approved to "show" your good faith intention.
2. If you ported to employer B using AC 21 (before the approval of GC); you have the same obligation to the new employer B and NO obligation to original I 140 sponsoring employer. (this is especially true if you informed USCIS of your porting and also true if you did not inform USCIS but law is less clear in the later scenario)
There is really no law that specifies the duration.
All it says is :"you should have intention to work for the GC sponsoring employer (or AC21 employer if you ported) permanently."
Intention is a state of mind and it can change!! also all these employments are at will, and so it is possible that you may not like that job! Or on the other hand employer may not like you and fire you in a week.
Bottomline: You will be fine under most circumstances. However, if the issue is raised at the time of naturalization, it would be much easier for you to explain/show that you did have intention to work for the employer if you actually work for the sponsoring employer for some duration (6 months, 1 year...all these are arbitrary numbers).
If you never worked for the sponsoring employer, you may not have a lot of grounds to show that entire GC was not a fraud...
Again, there is no clear law on this...
followup post:
I think there is a mix up here between two things:
180 day clock does start on the first day after filing 485, but that is for the purpose of AC21. Once you use AC21, then the next employer assumes the role of "your future permanent employer" and you should have "intent to permanently work for that(new, not the sponsoring) employer" AT the time of GC approval.
If you use change the employers 7 times using AC21 before your GC gets approved; you should have "intent to work permanently for the latest employer".
You are not bonded slaves. The only issue is that the "burden of proof" of proving the intent to work for such and such employer is on the GC beneficiary and not on USCIS. So in future, if USCIS questions (or CBP questions), it is YOU who has to prove that intent.
One scenario where you WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROVE IT: if you never worked for the sponsoring employer.
One scenario where you WILL NOT HAVE A PROBLEM PROVING IT: if you worked with sponsoring (or latest AC21) employer after GC approval for some duration (60 days?? 90 days?? 6 months?? 1 year??)...no law on this.
This is the whole purpose of Labor Certification process and I140. And it applies to the categories of EB2 (except NIW) and EB3--any category that requires LC.
This is from my discussion in following thread:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20403
I just put it here so that everyone would not have to try the link and may be this information is useful to someone.
Good Luck.

Hi thanks for the useful info could you please post me a link to the source so that i want to keep a copy of it. I am sure we will have lot of problems in getting EAD's in time. so when i visit local immigration officer i want to keep a copy of this. thank you
As I was telling all along, Interim EAD is still there...it is just that USCIS is meeting the target of 90 days processing.

ivar,
Not to push on you. I hope you sincerely get the credit you are looking for.
But logically thinking i think the whole idea of doing this is to stimulate the economy. So if you ask me than Only people who buy homes after the bill is passed should be eligible for this credit, for 1 year after the bill is passed.
This way lot of people will actually buy homes to qualify for the credit and thereby helping the economy. And rules out people lucking out and getting the non refundable credit.
But again realistically looking, With home prices predicted to continue to crash, Not sure how the 8K credit will make up for the equity you will lose in the house if you buy today.

If you have some suggestion to contribute, please do so otherwiese, keep quite. At this point of time, you are asking me to invite him to the IV ? Are you insane ?
First of all you are asking for help. Then when someone asks a very very valid question, you call him insane....I wonder where this attitude comes from?
As far as your friend is concerned, he has 30 days to file a reply....and he has already got a lawyer who is more capable to advise him than us.....so why waste our time and show attitude?

Being greedy is not a crime here, you need other reasons to sue. You can transfer H1, although other companies may be reluctant to hire you because of the H1 situation. In addition to rb_248 advice, consider applying for DV lottery and also think about moving to Canada.
Can Indians participate in DV lottery. I thought that is closed for India and China.

Switching to EB2 requires new Labor and I-140. If your new employer is willing to do that then you can get into EB2. The minimum requirement for EB2 is Bachelors with 5 years experience or Masters. So your Job should qualify and you should qualify to get the benefit of EB2.
Good luck.

I received the similar response from my attorney. Per them H1B is dual intent visa, and so long as u r working for the same employer u will be in H1B status and no need to file any amendment.

Problem is that every government document we get in India don�t follow strict rule of full legal name. so in birth certificate full name would be RatanKumar Madan lal Sharma but in Passport Full name would be �Ratan Kumar Madan Lal Sharma� (space in between).We also did not realize this while we were in India.
Most of the document we get in USA do not follow strict rule either.
Driver�s license uses FirstName. LastName (Ratan Sharma).
Social Security � FirstName MiddleInitial LastName (Ratan M Sharma)
EAD � LastName, FirstName. MiddleInitial. (Sharma, Ratan M.)
All receipts we get from USCIS use Firstname.middleintial.lastname(Ratan M.Sharma) or sometime just FirstName.LastName.
The best way I could think is to remove Kumar and Lal from all documents from India which sure going to take long time and effort. Not sure if it�s advisable after filing I-485.
another example we have seen is lal, ther correct way to represent lal would be jansilal sharma not jansi lal sharma unless lal is ur dad's/your middle name

If you have not submitted I-485 at this time --
With the current wait time, it is almost impossible to survive on the job till we get the green card. If one loses job before I-485 application, all green card efforts are down the drain, and he/she becomes instantly out of status without work on H1B.
However, if it is allowed to file I-485 based on some qualifications (i.e. I-140 approved for more than a year, etc.), we can stay legally with AOS without having to worry about losing jobs.
We had a similar discussion in March which ended up with no action items. This time I want to enroll as many people as possible and we will co-sign a letter that will be sent to USCIS, DOS, and Congress members. Please reply this thread if you'd like to have your names included with signature for this petition. If you have other ideas that will help us, please feel free to use this thread to contribute.

Your friend is an idiot -
1. By just coming to the US, one does not gain employment.
2. He does not have any reporting date/time in writing.
3. He does not have any proof that he contacted his employer.
4. Employee/Employer relationship was never there to begin with.
5. Last, he delivered nothing to his employer that could be termed as "work".
Suggest your friend to go back to the home country and find a job. I think that is the best approach for all the parties.
He researched a lot of forums and consulted a few contingency lawyers and gathered correctly that Employer is ultimately responsible for Employee.
However there is a wrinkle to his situation.He stayed with friends/relatives. Employer is not notified. I am not sure if the lawyers he spoke to understand this or not.
The only possible way to make a case out of it is by saying that the employer has been notified.
He is already in trouble. I think he may get into bigger trouble by misrepresenting. As he is desperate he may not be thinking it thoroughly. May be I am over thinking it but just wanted to see what others think.
I noticed your italics. If you mean to say it is probaly classic my problem beng stated as friend's problem, I am here since 2001 and am using EAD for past 1.5 years.
I am hoping desi3993 or some one who speak very authoritatively on similar issues would respond.

Hello..
1.I have 1 labor PD Dec 6th 2002 EB3 category,currently working with them. Labor has approved, will be filing my 140 soon.
2. My exemployer filed a labor PD Oct 28th 2003 EB2 category.
Being from India and EB3,god only knows when 2002 Dec can get current. I read somewhere that the earlier PD can be retained for the EB2 category..??
I want to retain Dec 2002 PD for the EB2 case. My EB2 employer is all willing to help me so far after hearing the miseries of the GC story,but at the same time what their corporate attorney says,it is the bible for the company. So I want to have as much as a clear picture before I approach their attorney..
gurus..if anyone can enlighten us many of us will save about 3-4yrs of our life..
waiting for some valuable response..
