I've received my EAD+AP and I 485 (filed, priority date Nov 05) through my husband's GC process. I currently work on H1B (3 yrs remaining on my H1B). One week ago got laid off and working with same company till end of month. While looking for new job I'm unable to decided whether to maintain my H1-B status or switch to EAD.
1) If I switch to EAD and husband has problems in I485 approval, can I switch back to H1B for remaining time or do I fall under H1 cap and start from beginning.
2) Should I transfer to H4 before leaving job and then look for new job with EAD to save remainder of time on H1B which I can use if something goes wrong with EAD.
3) Would it be safer to get H1B transfer to new employer and forget EAD till husbands I-485 gets approved.
4) If I get a job on EAD, do I've to file something with INS to let them know that Im not working on H1B. If getting back on H1B from EAD, do I file regular H1B application through employer or process is different if you get back from EAD to H1.
Please help!!!!!! lay off from work is enough stress. I thought EAD would make life easier but more options means more confusion:confused:

H1, H4 (spouse) and H4 (kid) living happily.
File 485 and gets EAD/AP.
H1 doesn't use EAD.
H4 uses EAD and hence looses H4 status.
I-485 is denied.
Now, my understanding is that spouse has to go out of country and come back again on H4.
What about the kid?
When does the kid loose his/her H4 status? (When both mother and father use EAD)?
This is just my thought, I would believe when the father (or whoever was on H1) uses EAD, the subsequent H4's would get canceled and their status would be Pending AOS. If 485 is denied, and if H1 person has not used EAD, then both son and mother can re enter on H4.

Hello Guys,
I lost my job last week and we have decided to return back to India.
Filed 2 times for GC and got stalled for some reason or another. I am on my 7th year extension. We decided to go back due to frustrtion of Immi. policies and other personel reasons.
I was one of the first 500 members in immigrationvoice.com.(but was not so actively involved)
Still remember those days in 2005, I was an active member of another website callled us immigration america travel news at isnamerica.org (http://www.isnamerica.org). (new members might not know abt this site)
I was very critical of IV during it was formed, but became a member after I got a call from one of the founders of IV.(dont remember who?)
Anyway, Good luck to all you guys.....And Wish u all success.
I have a Q
Does anybody know, how much money you can take to India when you travel? I am travelling with my wife. So i guess each person can take so much? Cash, Travellers check?
If anybody give me a website, i would appreciate it.
Thank you

I have heard this from a couple of my friends who used AP recently to enter the US. The Immigration officer at the POE told them that their AP is now valid from the date it was first stamped. IOW he now has a full additional year to use the AP for travel.
However, I cannot find this documented anywhere on the USCIS site. My AP was issued in Sept 2008 and is valid till Sept 2009 and I used it to return back from India in Dec 2008. However, I plan to renew my AP 120 days before its original expiry date UNLESS a clear rule gets published clearly mentioning that it is valid for a whole extra year following the first use of the AP document.

So step children get the same benefits as dependants. Good to know. I guess if it wasnt so, someone would have raised some issue about it by now. Atleast there would have been a bill in congress.
After marriage he will be your step-son and is eligible for L2 dependent visa.

Big mistake. Yes, your lawful stay in US ends on 30-Sep-2007.
With the Visa from company A expiring on 30-Sep why did you travel without getting the H1 papers from company B in hand?
You should have done either of the following
1) Got H1 stamping from company B before entering US (or)
2) Entered US with company A’s VISA (before it’s expiry) and company B’s H1 approval notice, so that the officer could stamp the I-94 as per company B’s end date.
All that you can do now is to leave the country before Sep 30th and renter US with VISA stamping from company B.

I have got my EAD, and my application was filed in EB3, 2005 in perm.
With the kind of speed USCIS is working with, I fear I would never get my GC.
Whereas My brother is a Citizen. Can it be possible that he files family based GC for me ?
I have read that for family based applications they regard the priority date as date of filing I-130.
If I do so, will my current process be wiped off ?
what are the repurcussions.
Please advice.

@itsmesabby: No this was my stamping after my first extension. It was cancelld at Kolkata consulate.
@vban2007: Are you sure that I can do a transfer? Or should a fresh H1B be filed by the new employer?

I will be remoting in from a different state. My employer would not file a new labor condition application which is required.
If the employer is the same and working remotely is an option, then why move from H1B to EAD. Why not keep the current status (full time) and work remote?

Can you customize you order? If so check into the 18-200mm VR, I like mine. Also my Digital Camera Shopper I'm looking at right now has a review that sums it by saying "it's quite possibly the only lens you'd ever need".

I am in the same boat.
Approved I-140 in EB3 category. Current employer wants to file in EB2 category, they gave me a new job that qualifies for the category but my Attorney says that I have to withdraw my current EB3 application..
I have read so many post here and every where that tells me that it is possible to continue the process but my lawyer says that I need to withdraw EB3 case.... Any one knows good lawyer around DC Metro area with good experience for Eb3 to Eb2 transfer with the same employer
You do not have to withdraw your EB3 application. You are doing the right thing by trying to find a new lawyer.

Yes I declared my arrest in I485 and have got my EAD and AP aproved.
Did anyone in this situation travel on AP?
I think you should be OK.. try to consult the lawyer.

Dear All,
I got a labor substitution and filed for my I-140 and I-485 concurrently. Today was the last day to send the documents and some paperwork was missing for my wife! I missed sending the package!
Now how should i proceed?? My wife is on H1-B currently. Any ideas??
My priority date is 25 jan 05 - eb2.
Thanks,
KK.
If you missed this time around, you can apply 485 for your wife only when your PD becomes current. Your wife will have to continue working on her H-1B since EAD isn't an option anymore.
Just curious: what paperwork was missing as a result of which you missed this boat? I hope it wasn't trivial in the grand scheme of things.
Thanks,
Jayant

I gues with iin 2 months for AP. but i don't know in current scenario with lot of applications. There is no harm in filing AP & EAD with 485. Even if you get them you can use it or not choice is yours. but if you use EAD h1/H4 will be invalid and you have to come back in AP. Also if you come in AP then your H1/h4 will be invalid you have to use EAD.
I think 4-5 months is decent time to get AP. But with current volume I am not sure.
I don't think traveling back on AP invalids your H1. I checked with my lawyer and this is what he told me.
