1) Can one person have multiple H1 with different companies at the same time ?
2) Will he able to come to US using any of his H1 ? If not, which one he can use ?
I am having H1B valid till apr 09. I am in currently in US working with company 'A'. Now, they are asking me to go back as my assignment is over. I had signed a contract with company 'A' so I have to return and stay for 6 months there.
1) If I transfer my H1 to from company 'A' to 'B' before going back, will I be able to come to US for company 'A' not for 'B'(if I changed my mind) ?
2) If I don't transfer my current H1 to any other employer and and return to my country. Will my H1 visa be still valid till Apr 09 ?
Can I come to US for some other employer without reapplying for H1 ?

I am not sure if it is only me.....but many times I see strangers wishing me or each other morning, evening...."how u doing" ,,,etc....
but Indians (I am also an Indian -:) are a little reserved....I do not see a greeting from fellow Indians that easily.....again I am not saying Indians are bad (cause I too am one -;)
maybe it is a culture thing for us not to greet strangers ?
PS - I have had my share of experience where non-Indians are also sometime rude me to me .....
mommy told me not to talk to strangers :p

First of all let us applaud the effort and commitment of needhelp and the many other committed members of Immigration Voice. I think it takes a lot to sacrifice personal time for an effort that others may benefit from but who may not see or recognize it.
Having said that some of the posts on this forum are emotional responses. I think we need to keep in perspective that "galvanizing people to a goal" is one of the most difficult things to accomplish. IMHO chastising "wake up" call speeches is not going to help. That is not to say that some of what is being said is not right. But I ask why should we chastise anybody?
At the moment I seem to be the only member of the NM Chapter (hopefully that will change). But frankly, it took me more than a year to buy into Immigration Voice and it's value. I have only recently started getting involved. As I see it, if someone visits this website (even for an update or to read forum discussions - as I did) they see value in coming here. Recognition of value brings commitment. But that also takes time. Maybe a lot of people cannot commit in ways we want them to commit. Maybe a lot of people choose not to. We should wish all of them the very best of luck.
Should we be disappointed? Sure. But we should also keep in perspective that it is their choice and we have to be "okay" with that.
On the other side, I was pleasantly surprised that in 10 days we were able to collect 2/3 rds of our target for the omnibus bill. That is an awesome feat. People can choose to be part of it or not. It is really up to them. I know I will have stories to tell.
And to needhelp...don't worry you have plenty of support and if you keep at it you will find more success.

Check with your lawyer but I believe there may be a grace period wherein they allow you to add your wife's name after 485 filing. In addition, there is a 4 year backlog in the family based green card process. 01-JUN-02 for FB-2A (India).
My pd is jan 2005 and i was waiting for the dates to become current.I am not married and will most probably get married by this year end[parents in the process of searching matches].my dilemma is whether to apply for 485 now or not.can i add my wife's name later on while the 485 is in the final stages of the process[say an year after the process began] or just before the green card is being dispatched etc so that both of us can get green cards.i dont want to miss this chance because i seriously feel that the dates might retrogress again.but if i apply and get a green card u all know how many years it will take to get wife to usa in family based immigration.somebody please clear my doubt.Thank you

Dear All,
Let us strive to achieve 50,000.00 contributions for this event.
Just today I have paid 915.00 for Advance Parole for 3 of my family members. Thanks to IV, otherwise, I would have paid another $1020.00 for EAD every year. Now I pay only every second year for EAD.
Request your friends too to contribute. Please help yourself.

Hello,
I have a few questions regarding the application for AP for a dependent, and I would appreciate it if someone would answer them.
1. If the dependent is applying for AP, should I include the primary applicant's I-485 in the application packet?
2. The dependent has an EAD. Is it necessary to include copy(ies) of the EADs with the AP packet?
3. If the previous AP has expired, is the applicationo process for a new AP different from that if a non-expired AP is being renewed?
4. I was reading in some threads that the $305 fee will be waived if there is a pending I-485. Is that correct?
Thanks in advance!

You have a great plan, come to US on H1 and within 6 months get EAD and you are free from H1b crackdown by jumping to EAD. You think USCIS, Grasley, sanders, and anti eb folks are a bunch of idiots, they will send you and me packing with the same rfe they are hitting h1 folks with if everybody gets to pre file AOS and get EAD. that is why you need to strengthen ac21 by removing same\semilar job condition and other potential h1 like rfe's, otherwise you will drag us down along with you and turn ead into h1.
How tough it is to get PERM approval nowadays with the economy being what it is. Previously we had some reasonable times, but now every application is being scrutinized closely. It's not as easy as 6 months after landing in the US to get PERM approval and be able to file for EAD.
Your arguments have a flavor of "Let me in and shut the door". So please go away and start your own thread for reforming AC21.

Our I-140 has already been filed but we dont have receipt notice for that.
We are wondering how to file I-485 without I-140 receipt notice?
This may be useful to understand a little more about e-filing of I-140 for those of who doesn't know much because the employer/lawyer doesn't give u full information. There appears to be no e-filing for I-485. Anyway navigate thru the USCIS pages for more info.

Jchan, I completely agree with you. We should look into how we can get attention of this to the concerned people and not side tracked.
Hi kate123, either it is a legislative fix or not, it's not up to us to decide. I saw the danger of our time and effort being sidetracked by trying to argue whether it's a legislative or administrative fix. The new secretary has made it clear that she is willing to push for BOTH Administrative AND Legislative fix if it's deemed necessary. Our goal should be bringing enough attention to her on the pre-application issue and convince her it's a meaningful change that will help both the DHS and the applicants, so she will push for changes. Please let me know if you agree.

"On April 27, 2004, the Ombudsman sent an information request to USCIS for a breakdown of data for pending employment-based applications for adjustment of status to be broken down by preference classification, priority date and country of chargeability. This request attempted to reflect similar data contained within the Immigration Annual Statistical Handbook, Chart 5, for completed cases. The Ombudsman’s interest in pending employment-based workload is in part a reflection of the broader issue relating to USCIS’ ability to support the Department of State in accurately forecasting immigrant visa requirements and the visa issuance process."
"This update will enable USCIS to identify 100% of the pending employment-based visa cases. It is anticipated that this exercise will be completed by April 28, 2006. Once this exercise is complete, USCIS will be able to extract data relating to the priority date, country of chargeability and preference classification. USCIS has already entered into discussions with the Department of State to provide this detailed information not only for pending workload but for visa regressed cases as well to allow DOS to accurately manage future visa allocations in regressed workloads."

Excellent response. I have been a silent admirer of IV for some time. IV has represented the aspirations of all the EB applicants. people should understand that the US allotment of visas to foreign Nationals is only based on what is fair for the country (US). It does not matter to them to what country the applicant belongs but what matters is the qualifications and their benefit to the advancement of the US. I am appauled to see some of the members racheting up this irrational discussion about the spillovers when DOS clearly stated recently what the intent of the law was. the sooner they get over this issue, the better for them and for every one on the forum as the existing rules will NOT change regarding the spillover. we have to concentrate our efforts on how we can improve conditions for every body affected by this retroression. efforts aimed at one category and that too one country will almost certainy fail. I am also shocked to see a few EB3 I expressing anger over dates moving for EB2. personally if I see a person from my country getting his visa approved, then I would feel very happy for him even if I am waiting for some time. I know it will be difficult, but atleast spare some joy for your country men and women who are getting some well deserved relief after such a long wait. one of my old friends told me once "if you have a friend from India, don't rely on him to help you, because you will not get much help moreover some people will only try to pull you down, but if you take people from other countries, it is exactly the opposite as they try to help each other in every possible way". I agree that it is very distressing for every one that the dates are retrogressed, but now that EB2 has moved, all of a sudden some people woke up from a deep sleep and started making these arguments that have no legal basis. None of these people expressed their anger when EB3 ROW was being preferred over more qualified EB2 I and C and making EB2 unavailable. I know a lot of people from EB2 protested at this wrong interpretation of the law, but I don't remember anyone ever criticizing IV for not taking up their cause even though we knew all along that spillover from EB1 to EB2 retrogressed countries was the right interpretation of the law. now some people are asking IV to take up an issue that is straight forward illegal as was clearly explained by DOS in a recent bulletin. instead of wasting time and efforts on such futile suggestions, people should concentrate on making some constructive effort along with IV helping every one involved in retrogression.
you must know something i don't.
aman kapoor is the president and founder of iv- of course you can argue he now has his GC but that fact is he is still the heart and soul of iv and runs the organization on a day to day basis. he is EB3.
the "core group" does not much exist in practical terms right now. there is instead a large "leaders group" that helps coordinate actions and strategy.
this group has a lot of active members- and i find it "comfortable" to say that the majority are EB3. which may actually count for something- since i actually do know somethings you don't :-)
no one stops anyone from doing anything. but whatever you do (and yes you actually have to DO, not just keep talking), has to have a sound basis. Many of the suggestions put forward have flaws, and actually papu and others have been pretty helpful in politely helping to point those out and suggesting changes. of course reddog took objection even to that! incidentally, just for the record, you may want to look at pappu's profile . HE IS EB3!
so what do you want anyway? should we go tell USCIS that leftover Gc from EB2 ROW should go to EB3 ROW instead of EB2 I/C? what about the 28.6% that should belong to EB2? and since you are EB3 I- how does this help you in any way? or should we tell them to stop the preference catogories in INA and make EB1=EB2=Eb3? somehow i do not think that is going to fly.
where were you when USCIS implemented vertical spillover in 2006 and left EB2 I in a U state while giving EB2 Gc numbers to EB3 ROW?
did you object then? did you start a campaign? did EB2 I folks here start saying that iv did not care about them?
in 2007 ordinarily, (like 06) EB2 I and EB3 I would have got only 2,800 GC each. because of iv's efforts in reversing the july bulletin, EB3 I got a huge number of Gc instead. many more than any other category. i don't remember anyone else standing up and saying that this was unfair and that iv is all about EB3I. and that's what a lot of anti iv folks say. that iv is all about EB3 India. so this is very ironical.
and i see here a comment that every campaign has been bad for EB3 india.
i guess july reversal was bad. i guess the campaign for recapture is bad. and the 2 year EAD is bad too. not to mention the gathering support to end country quotas.
you opened my eyes :-)

Can't believe the dates came this much.. (Seeing the history from few months)
Last year also it came to 2006 but again retrogressed..
But this time.. i don't know.. i am hopeful..
Fingers crossed..
Well. It certainly is a good news. Atleast for me. :) I would like to caution though that getting current does not necessarily mean getting approved. We have had cases from 2003/2004 PD members where they did not get approved for long time despite their date getting current.

Are we assuming that all the BEC (Backlog Elimination Center) EB2's have already gotten their GCs..?
