The EB numbers from 2006 also include the Schedule A workers and they were not constrained by the 7% limit. That is why India and Philippines were able to get more than 7%

EAD is only required if you want to work and you don't have any other document which will allow you to work (e.g. a valid un-expired H1)
Cheers :)
Hi,
My I-140/I-485 are pending. I had also applied for my EAD card which I received promptly. The EAD card will expire in October, 2008. You know, at least until the I-140 gets approved, I don't need the EAD card. Can I just let it expire and renew it when I need it? Or will it be a separate application when I try to renew an expired EAD.
Thanks.

It is currently taking a long time to adjudicate MTR's ( for some more than a year or so ) . I would say file a MTR and also file a new perm labor . I suggest going with EB3 rather than EB2 since rules for EB2 are now more stricter than before along with more scrutiny and RFE's. But its your own choice.
I think the new labor would get approved before you get a response for your MTR. If they clear the original labor well and good or else you would at least have the new one .
Before answering something like this, you should know what you are answering.

Hi All,
Just a brief overview of my scenario...I came to US on H1b in Nov 2006 for a small consultancy and started work after 2 weeks .....and continued at the client until the last day..
My Company used to pay us 1 month lately i.e for say month of mar we were paid in may....as such when i left them after giving them proper notice i had to take 2 months salary ......after a lot of persistence from my side my employer deposited my 1 month salary in bank account but diditn sent the associated paystub and stopped replying for the other month salary and paystubs...
meanwhile I applied for H1 Transfer through a reputed company in July before resigning and giving the paystub for may which was generated in month of July......
I am waiting for the transfer to complete so as to report my previous employer to DOL....for recovering my wages and documents.....
I have all the valid documents like approved timesheets and client reference and letter citing out details of dates till i worked as well as email correspondence with my previous employer...
In worst case if INS ask me for the June and July Paystubs which i didnt get from my employer, can it effect the H1 Transfer and if so can the document like timesheets and client letters,bank statements, email correspondence with my previous employer suffice.......
If u all support i want to teach this guy a lesson...so please come forward and give me suggestions....although i was always working but still due to this stupid guy i have doubts in my mind....
Hey People i want justice ,this guy has harrassed me a lot and put my carreer at least 2 years back....i had excellent background allways worked with reputed concerns...
Please help...any help will be highly appreciated.

It will take weeks to write the draft of the bill. Then atleast 1 month debate about the bill. So it will take 2 to 3 months even if everything is positive. Even if they are serious they may not have enough time to pass CIR. So 2010 may be right time for CIR.

If the employer revokes i140 before 180 days then what happens ,, is there any way to continue 485 ?
if approved I-140 is revoked, then Ur I-140 is not portable.ur I-485 will be denied. at the best u can ask employer delay the revoke till 180 days are passed.
if pending I-140 is withdrawan then I-485 will be denied and at the best u can ask employer to continue I-140 until it is approved and then revoke if 180 days are passed.
3) 1 1/2 yrs is the current H1-B status
Thanks

Don't worry. You will mostly get RFE but not a rejection.
My original 140 got denied as per USCIS web site but lawyer didn't get the denial notice even after 60 days. Lawyer followed it up but no response from the USCIS.
I filed 485/AP/EAD and got approvals for EAD. Lawyer refiled 140 without original labor and is almost certain that they will raise an RFE but not denial.

Hi,
I am one of many people here waiting for the date to be able to apply for I-485 because of visa retrogression. I have 3 more H-1 years so I am considering changing a job in category EB2 so the process can be faster (my PD is Jan 2004 with approved I-140). My question is whether this position below can be considered in EB2 or not. To my knowledge on Eb2, it must be more than 5 years experience with BS or MS. I have a MS, but my work experience in US is total 4 years 4 months (intern 10 months in US during MS + 11 months with OPT after MS + 2yrs6months with H-1B).
This is just a part of the job description:
- BS Degree plus 3-5 Yrs experience or MS Degree plus 2 Yrs experience.
Thanks.
As far as I know, EB2 is advanced degree OR 5+ yrs experience. I have less than 1 yr experience, but my firm is plans on filing my application in EB-2.

Most of the time non compete is enforced on direct competitor(s) and not on all companies. They dont want you to quit and join their direct competitor and reveal your trade secrets and this will stand in the court as I know somebody who was directly affected by this and he had to turn down a very good offer.
Also companies can change non compete any time.
since non compete was not required at time of joining the job, I don't see any way where at time of leaving they can force a overly broad condition. imagine if you working in a software company and they make you sign agreement, AT TIME OF LEAVING, that you can not work in same industry for next 5 years, what are you gonna do ? flip burgers for next 5 years ?

Hello,
My wife is planning to convert from H4 to H1 for dentist.
1) Does she need a dental license to apply for H1 ?
She 'qualifies' for a dental license (ie meets all requirements), but almost all states require a SSN to issue a dental license. Since she is on H4, she doesnt have a SSN. Problem: Dental License needs SSN - SSN needs H1 - H1 needs license - basically a "Catch 22" position here
2) I did some googling and found that UCSIS issues H1 for 1 year for nurses who do not have license(because of no SSN). Would this apply to dentists as well ?? link (http://www.murthy.com/nurse_faq.html#2)
Please help !
Thanks !!

I have 3 years degree (15 year education). I am not sure if I can file on EB2.
You have filed on EB3 & planning to file on EB2; could you please share the logic for this & why are you waiting end of 2008, please share the reason, so if needed I can also plan something like you.
Thanks,

No, you can not. As one must have a single degree that is the "foreign equivalent degree" to a United States baccalaureate degree

First of all, you need to heed to your lawyer's advise. Any charges that demonstrates a lack of good moral character can prevent a re-entry even if you have your green card. Any crime against a person with intent to harm is sufficient charges to reject entry or deny I-485 or revoke the GC. I do know that road rage conviction, DUI, drugs found in person qualify for such denials - I am not sure about domestic violence - hence my recommendation to consult with attorney.
Most of the people who are denied entry on AP are people who were out of status (people whose visa expired and they overstayed, H-1 visa holders who ran out of the period and cannot justify the delay between the H-1 expiry date and EAD issued date).
If you were out of status, attorneys advise you to not leave the country.

hi guys.
did not mean to turn this into a canon - nikon debate. im just strongly considering switching to a better known brand. the biggest problem i have with pentax is that their products are not as readily avalible.
eg. a local camera store will have 20 canon products 20 nikon products but onley about 5 or 6 pentax products in stock. simpel stuff like a cabel sutter release i had to wait 3 monthes for. if i had a nikon i could have gotten a fancy programabal cabel release. a lot of little stuff like that is one of the big reasons that i am considering nikon or canon.
i dont have alot of glass invested in pentax yet and i think it would be better to change now before im stuck with 5grand worth of pentax and then really neading to change my sistem.
im planing on spending some money on lenses and would rather invest in nikon than pentax. im also pritty sure that i would rather go nikon than canon, no offence mats, but i know alot of photographers who are happy with nikon and i just like the look and feel of nikon more than canon. so now the onley quistion left is d50, d70, or d80...

My experience with the evaluators was the same. Well, not mine but my wife's. She had to use the people the school told her to.
If you need to find translators for your documents though, I can help. If you need recommendations just ask!
