My I-485 was filed in month of August 2008 under EB2 .I was laid off from my I-485 sponsoring employer(A) in month of August 09 and i took another Job with employer (B) in same field in month of Sep 09. I did not file AC21 as my previous employer's(A) attorney advised not necessary to file AC21.Now I am getting new offer from another employer(C) in same position but this new employer(C) wants me to file AC21 .
What are my options now? Should i file AC21 for employer (B) first and then file AC21 for employer (C) or should i directly file AC21 for employer (C).
I will greatly appreciate your reply.

No that is wrong assumption. H1B can be extended only based on the beneficiary's self I-140 not spouse's
Consult his/your attorney and renew H1B. At least start GC process to be eligible for H1 extension after 6 years

Hi,
Recently, I have used AP for my travel from IAD. I was sponsored by company A and I am working for company B on EAD. At POE the CBP officer asked me if I am still working for Company who sponsored my GC. I said no. I told them I work for Company B. They just listened and let me in.
The other question that they asked me how long was my stay outside US. I was not sure why they asked that question.
Hope this helps.

hello everyone,
I just became a member and I have a situation for which I need some help.
I finished my MBA in NJ in December 2007 and my OPT period started in Feb 08 and is valid till Feb 09. I had joined a IT consulting company A and they filed my H1 in April 08. Currently I am working in a client company in MA for last 1 month. My H1 application got selected in lottery last week.
I was not happy with my job and I started looking for something in management field. I got an offer from a big company B in Boston and I want to take it. I have 2 pay stubs from IT consulting company A but my H1 is not approved yet. I want to accept company B's offer and I am confused.
My questions are:
1. can company B take over my H1 application at this stage??
2. Can company A cancel/terminate my H1 application at this stage?
3. Does anyone know good immigration attorney in MA?

H1B Visa Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently updated (http://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/ApprovedSchools.pdf) their list of Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) approved schools. The schools listed have all been certified to participate in the program.
The program allows foreign students interested in obtaining an education in the United States to complete a visa petition, pay the required fee, and attend a U.S. College or University.
Interested Foreign students: There is a process in obtaining a student visa, but it is not a difficult one. The student must first obtain Form I-20 from the U.S. College or University from which he/she intends to enroll, pay the required visa fee (Form I-901) and contact a local U.S. Consulate/Embassy to schedule an interview. The SEVP procedures differ among U.S. Consulates/Embassies; contact your U.S. Consulate/Embassy NOW to determine its particular procedure on applying for a visa before planning for the interview.
Interested Schools: There is a separate process to obtain F & M Certification. Authorized school officials must obtain and complete Form I-17. An overview of the SEVP Certification process (http://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/i17_process.pdf) can be found on the ICE website . If approved, the school will be certified and allowed to issue Form I-20 to qualifying foreign students.
If you need assistance or an explanation of the SEVP, please contact our office (http://www.mvplg.com/contact.htm) to schedule a consultation.

Dates are valid as of November 30, 2008. Texas is processing July 11, 2007 applications. Looks good. It means CIS finally has time to work on the deluge of applications they received in July 2007, even though the dates are not current yet. The approvals may still be far off, but at least we know that our apps are being worked upon.

---I'm only talking in regards to FY-2007 in light of current development.---
Now that everything is current there would not be any need to per country quota. CORRECT?
Or since EB3 other is not current ("U") they cannot use AC21?
they have hinted retrogression in Sept for China, India, etc
Now if there is no per country quota, how can they retrogress EB for China, India, or any other country unless EB3 ROW is not current?
So unless they retrogress ROW, logically they should not retrogress at least EB2 for India, China and other countries
correct. Which means, come September EB3-ROW is also going to get retrogressed. probably to where it is now.

Me and my wife received our EADs and our H1/H4 is valid till 2010.
My wife is attending school being on H4. Since she has EAD, can she work part time(not in school) and keep the H4 status valid.
Please suggest.
Yes, She can work using EAD part time or fulltime. But if she uses EAD, the H4gets invalidated automatically, She should keep renewing the EAD / AP.
Why you want to have the H4 status valid ??

It looks like a mighty fine camera. I have to admit there are times I'd like to have a camera in personal situations without the obvious "look at me I've got a big camera" 1D.
