You are in AOS status now. need to file New I9 as all said.
You can always file new H1 (Not in quota but not extension) using your approved 140. So that can be done.
Talk to your lawyer
My H1B expire on 9/30 as well as my I-94 also expires 9/30. Some how I miss my H1B extenction. I have EAD that is valid until next year mid. I am working right now what is my current status? Is they any way still i can extend my H1B.
My employer is saying there is no way to extend H1B after crossing the last date. You have to work on EAD.
But my question my I94 is expired on 9/30 then what is my current staus.
thanks in advance.

Greencard fever -why take so much pain with your gc when you plan to rellocate to india/currently its even hard to predict when can one receive the gc. One can always visit US on tourist visa which is the most easy part. My opinion is only if one does not want to settle in US -

Congrats again!
I also pedge to donate $500 to IV on the day I receive the GC.
Hello IV Freinds,
I checked my mail last Saturday, got Cards and welcome approval notices in mail. Status at USCIS website still shows all cases pending. I had called my Senators office for follow up week before as processing dates also had also passed.

Hi Morchu,
Thanks for you reply.
Yes you replied to my question in other Thread... but you thought I did't exhausted my 6 years...
But Iam already in 7th year. Based on my situation I want to make sure whether Iam eligible or not for applying one more H1 while other (H1 appeal is pending). So I posted my request here too.
Thanks again Morchu for your responses.
Morchu's suggestion is a very good one. You file for a premium H1 with all the documentation and new approved I140. Can you share why your previous 485 was rejected?
-cheers

What if 6 months are left before my 6 years of H1B expires? Can I still get 3 years extension based on approved I-140 from another company?
I think you can get the extension with new company too. While applying for the transfer request extension upto Feb 2010. You might have to provide the I140 approval again to prove that you are eligible for 3-year extension.
I think you can join the company immediately. To be in safe side you can apply for transfer in premium.
As you might be aware there is no such thing as H1B transfer - every h1b application is a new one for that company and you as beneficeiry. So when applying for H1B with new company - you have to provide evidence that you are eligible for the H1B. The evidence is to show you are already on H1B (so that you are not subject to annual cap); and that you have enough time on H1B if you already completed 6 years then evidence to prove that you are eligible for further extension of h1b. So in short yes you can get 3 years with new employer. (NOTE: I am not lawyer this is my understanding based on various sources; I am also considering moving after my i140 is approved).

QUESTION 1: Can my wife extend her H1-B (beyond 6th year) based on her pending I-485?
........
No.
Question: When I am at the port of entry, I will have my old H1-B valid for 2 more months and also the visa stamp valid for 2 more months, but a new H1-B I-797 is already approved. Will this cause a problem?
Refer to my previous post on this thread.

Normally the consulate in Canada or Mexico will only entertain an application if the person graduated from a school in the US. The reason being that they can verify the genuineness of the education which is not possible in a situation where the person went to a school in a different country. But if you are already in the US in H-1B status and have a H-1B visa in the passport then you have a better chance of getting a visa.

As the health care debate draws more hate against �illegal immigrant coverage�, the Democratic Senator charged with introducing immigration reform legislation is making more excuses instead of moving forward.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., has decided to delay introducing legislation to overhaul the nation�s immigration laws in hopes of bringing more senators on board and crafting a bipartisan bill, his spokesman said Tuesday��We are pleased with the framework we have put together so far and the broad-based support it has gotten from a diverse group of those interested in this issue,� [Brian] Fallon said. �The fact that health care is taking longer than expected gives us additional time to now shop our ideas to a number of Republicans to see what they think and what changes they suggest.�

Whatever the conditions put for immigration number of people to work in USA is increasing. Yearly there is 20 to 30% increase in F1 Visa for past 3 years . And 130k H1b applications also tells the story. Still USA is topmost market for India and China. USA depends on India and China. But opposite also true(India and China dependent on USA). The change of equation unlikely for many decades. Many European countries and Gulf countries are giving temporary visa and no green card. Still huge demand for working in those countries. Immigration is USA is for mutual benefit not just for country but also for immigrants. If dollar value goes down 20 rupees then outsourced jobs will come back to USA and Indian economy also will crash. So ,for developing countries welfare USA economy should be stable
Folks in Alipac are enjoying this news - they say such a thing is good for the country because Indians and Chinese won't come here anymore
They seem to be a bunch of chaotic confused folks and don't know what they want.

If u want to, you can apply for H1 extension as ur labor is more than year old. You will get one year h1-b extension, as ur I-140 is not approved yet. With approved I-140 u would get 3 year extension

Does it mean that if you get a receipt number in the case of an H1 transfer your case would definitely be approved?? i.e. Receipt number = Transfer approval?? :confused: Anybody familiar with the transfer process should please enlighten.
It seems you can start working as soon as the application is sent out. This was the advice given to my firend by his attorney.
He consulted some other lawyers. They say that it is safe to get the receipt number before starting to work.
So to be on the most safe side, wait until you get the receipt number.
But many people do start soon after sending the transfer petition...I know people who have done that. My friend is also not going to wait for the receipt as he has to join immediately.

I don't think it happens automatically. You will need to ask to be accorded the earlier priority date or if interfiling you will also initiate the process by asking that USCIS substitutes the previously submitted I-140 with a new approved one. The time to do that is when the PD on the newly approved 140 becomes current.
From your explanation, now that your old PD is current and the 140 for that is approved, you will have to ask that interfiling occur by sending a letter to USCIS with a copy of the new 140.
If you have done this, then the message you got could be that USCIS is ready to review your file by October. A congratulation may be in order here because I believe you will soon get your GC.

Come on folks - all the way to Riverhead we have tonnes of people living in these areas affected by Retrogression.
EAD is not a solution - EAD just makes our life a bit easier than on h1b - the struggle continues even on EAD.
How can you expect govt to fix your problem if you lack motivation?
Lets start mobilizing the chapter
Remember, we are no VIPs, we are in a mass distribution system and no one has special previlidges here, your lives won't change uless you motivate yourselves and speak up for yourselves.
We need a very strong resprsentation from everyone in the community.
Ignoring our requests only puts all of us in a tougher situation

You can have 2 different applications for PERM from different prospective employers. It is just like filing for 2 different H1-B visas.
I believe, typically you apply for I-485 with one employer. So until then having multiple PERM or I-140 should be OK.
I do not have any personal experience with multiple filing.

Sorry folks did not get to update this discussion as things have dramatically changed in past couple of months
On January 15th the online status Changed to "Approval Notice sent", :D We waited a week and my company and lawyers received each a copy of the approval notices.
No idea what was the catalyst behind the U-turn from the USCIS (please note we still have not received the RFE response from USCIS) weather it was the Lawyers letters,1-800 calls, infopass visit or AILA intervention.
Call it the luck / divine intervention I am so lucky this step being cleared now just have to wait for the final 485 stage to clear
I just hope others do not go through the same harrowing story as mine.
That said USCIS was and is a big black hole :mad:, any information requested is swallowed and no response will be provided, just hope for the best and be patient
