Read the last paragraph here:

Thanks for the link. That clarifies that the new package fee of $1010 encompasses the EAD/AP renewal for the life of 485. If one had used the old fee structure then the new fee for I 765 (EAD) - $ 340 and I 131 Advance Parole - $ 305.

I would think that if you pay $645 (EAD and AP) for the renewal that would also be good for the life of the 485, though the link doesn't explicitly state that. Does anyone have any more info on that?

Thanks.

you did a masters here.......so you can go to canada or mexico also...it will not be any issue if you all the paper work of your masters correct

Oh, I made them out of your PSD file :)

I know one or two friends who had gap in between H1 transfer. So far USCIS has not been to strict about it.

If you find a minute, could you please update your profile to help other members and IV?

Person "A" on H1B with 4 yrs of experience, Green Card filed, EAD received (both husband and wife), I-140 pending, Wife Dependant (has her own H1B), Wife opens a training institute.

1. Can "A" work for his wife and also get paid in check?
2. Can "A" have a second job in his wife's company and retain his original job?
3. Can "A" have a different occupation anywhere else on EAD not related to his original job role? and then can "A" get paid in check?
4. Can "A" work for his wife's company and instead wife gets the check or paid? Is that legal?
5. Can "A"'s wife open a company on EAD and also keep working on her H1B?
6. Can "A" and his wife after EAD work for 2 different jobs if the job description/roles are different?
7. Can "A" work as volunteer in his wife's company?
8. Can a software analyst working with a software company work as a trainer in a training institute on EAD with I-140 either pending or approved?

You are not DESI... How dare you to think about working for wife...Thst's not in true DESI's blood.. Wife should work for you:p:)

I got receipt on August 29 and approval e-mail on Today (September 18th).

Rashesh

That one looks perfect gundark.

If you have not been happy with your employer, kick your employer's butt! :D

My EAD expires on - 10/10/2008. I had e-filed on 10/01/2008 for renewal.
I-140 approved. I 485 peding since Aug 2007.

Should I continue working after 10/10 as my current EAD will expire. Can I use my e-field receipt notice to continue my employment ?

Pl advise.

"On December 4, 2009, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you."

My PD was Dec 4, 2004. EB2. Exactly 5 years from PD and over 10 years from first entry to US. Getting stuck in the BEC backlog and my wife getting stuck in India with 221(g) were among my most painful experiences through the journey. And not being able to take a fabulous offer at double my salary in 2007 hurt too.

Thanks for all the support. And congratulations again to the leaders of IV for creating a platform for Employment based GC applicants.

Feel free to contact me if you are starting high-growth businesses and need someone to bounce ideas off. And of course I am happy to help with IV initiatives to clear EB backlog.

Bpositive.

Congratulations!

No - there is nothing to do your status with AP.

Thanks a Lot!!!

nonsenseNumbersUSA.com that provides accurate processes and descriptions refuting the moronic claims of numbersusa which feeds tancredo and his creed.

i m very well versed with census data and can look at specific refutes to their claims. Also, would it help to show legal immigration levels in the developed countries.

Canada allows 1/100th (1%)of the population to come in every year as landed immigrants (skilled migrants). 300,000+ out of a total population of 30 million with no country based limitation.

here employment based migration which is the closest category as compared to Canada's legal migration process alllows 144,000 out of 300 million. (0.05%)

Australia lets in 120,000 (0.6%) migrants out of which 80,000 (0.5%) are in the skilled worker category out of a population estimate of 20 million

New Zealand lets in 34,000 (0.9%) migrants out of which 21,000 (0.5%) are in the skilled worker category out of a population estimate of 4 million

Yes, I noticed that and thought the same. I am submitting my application today. I have been trying it for the last 7 years with no luck. Who knows, this one could be the one when I hit the jackpot ! :cool:

Dream on. I have been trying it since inception but have never won. Well, that's why it's called a lottery.

What happens if I get my EAD after 180 days of concurrent filing i-140 & i-485, and my employer no longer has a vacancy for me. Can I start at another job or do I have to refile the i-140. (I'm not presently working for the company yet)
If i-140 is approved and i-485 is pending more than 180 days invoke ac21 with new job with similar duties and salary at least what labor said. Not need to file no new i-140

The entry for the DV 2008 (aka Visa Lottery) commenced yesterday and would run until noon of Dec. 3. While some countries like India and China are not eligible to participate, it is important to point out some changes that might be indicative of what would happen per current immigration legislations.

In the entry form, questions about educational qualifications and country of present residence have been included. These questions have never been asked in the 13 years the visa lottery has been running. I suspect this is anticipatory of the CIR (or some variations or portions of the CIR) being passed before the results of the lottery start to trickle out in April next year. If you all would recall, the dead CIR bill passed by the senate in May had provisions that the Visa Lottery should be modified to reserve 75% of the 55K visas to applicants with advanced degrees and it would be strategic to capture this data in advance in anticipation of legislative changes.

Now, while this is not good news in it self, it could however be that the Dept. of State knows or anticipates that the piece of legislation in question and indeed more immigration legislations would be passed after the November elections and more than likely, before April. I think this is a good pointer for us and we can't but wait to see how things unfold.

In the interim, you can visist http://www.dvlottery.state.gov/ to fill out an application if you are from an eligible country.

Goodluck.

...[look for big scratches, scrapes and worn off paint on the corners], it should be fine to buy a used one...

Hey, I didn't know you've seen my cameras, Mats! ;) GEEVER, Mats advice is right on. Both Canon and Nikon have excellent reliability, and there are only a couple of moving parts on a digital SLR. If it takes a picture when you look at it, it will probably be just fine.

In both Canon and Nikon, you have a fine selection of great lenses for the future. If you buy an old camera body now, like a Canon 300D, D60, 10D, etc. or the Nikon equivalents, you can spend more money on good lenses, and then upgrade camera bodies later. You don't get your money back reselling these cameras (though you save a lot compared to developing film!), and the older 6 mega-pixel cameras are just fine for printing 8x10s for your wall. It's not a bad strategy to get "into photography" if you're on a budget.

I think EB2 is easy if you have US Masters. Since you have a 3 year degree you need to prove that it is equivalent to US BS degree

Thanks for the response.

I have 3 year BS degree in computer science
&
3 Year MS degree in computer science. S0 total 6 years in the same field(computer).

Thanks.
